Total-Insanity519: Alright, so now I'm trying my hand at a romantic/comedy FanFiction. This is my first Gakuen Alice story, so please don't get angry if it isn't good.

Today is a special day at Alice Academy. Valentine's Day. And more specifically, early morning on Valentine's Day. That time of day when the sun shines weakly, just as the first students slowly open their eyes. The time when dreams are interrupted, and brains slowly set into the daily pace. The time of day that some dread, some love, and others just don't give a care about it. Perfect silence for those who need it. And just as suddenly as that silence seems to come, it's broken by a certain loud little girl in the Elementary Branch.

"HOTARU!"

Mikan Sakura ran down the hall as fast as she could, ignoring the beautiful sunset that reflected across the courtyard connected between the beautifully carved pillars on one side of the hall. She was only trying to catch up to the girl speeding along on what seemed to be a hover scooter. Just as she managed to catch up, the girl turned around and shot her with a strange gun, which said with every shot: "Shut up."

Hotaru's Invention # 46

"This is the 'shut up' gun. It is the counterpart of the baka gun. Both are used to silence those annoying people of everyday society who cause a commotion. Currently in progress is the 'shut up' cannon. For those stubborn annoyances that build up a resistance to the 'shut up' gun."

Sprawled on the floor, Mikan's eagerness turned quickly to irritation.

"What was that for Hotaru?"

"You're being too loud Dummy. You should keep your voice lower so early." Hotaru told her emotionlessly.

"But I just wanted to say Happy Valentine's Day," Mikan whined from the ground. "You didn't have to hit me with that thing." Mikan said childishly.

"On the contrary. I had to use it because you were being loud, which is exactly why it was built." Hotaru told her. Mikan got up.

"You're so cold Hotaru. Anyway look what I got!" Mikan said loudly, but she covered her mouth and handed a slip of paper to Hotaru who pointed the "Shut up gun" at Mikan again. Hotaru's eyes scanned the slip of paper.

"A love note?" Hotaru asked, slightly curiously.

"Uh huh! I found it under my door when I woke up this morning!" Mikan said excitedly as she took the paper back.

"That's interesting. I wonder who would have a crush on someone like you." Hotaru said quietly.

"I do to. Hey wait, what do you mean someone like me?" Mikan asked angrily. Hotaru ignored her question.

"I wonder. I also got a note." Hotaru said, pulling out a piece of paper of her own.

"You too? I bet it's someone from the Technology class. You seem like a popular girl there." Mikan said happily. Hotaru sighed.

"You don't get it, do you?" She asked.

"Get what?"

"That they're probably just pranks." Hotaru told her. Mikan frowned.

"Why would they be pranks?" She asked indignantly.

"You really are a dummy." Hotaru said simply, and went away on her hover scooter.

"Geez Hotaru's so mean today." Mikan pouted, and walked away. As she walked across the courtyard, a boy and girl who had been hiding behind the pillars smirked.

"Are you sure it worked Onii-chan?"

"Yes. It started as of midnight. Now we just let the countdown begin."

……

A few hours later.

"Morning everyone!"

"Good morning Narumi-sensei."

As Mikan's class settled down (or stopped yelling anyway) Narumi-sensei smiled.

"Alright class, now normally, I'd leave you with a sub, but today, we have a few special guests. Two new students will be joining us today. They're names are Suki and Shikijou. They're a brother and sister from Tokyo who have the same Alice. However, the parents refused to tell us what their Alice is, and they've refused to show us what it is." Narumi-sensei said with a sigh. The students looked at each other in interest.

"Anyway, here are you're new classmates. Alright you two, come in." Narumi said to the door. It opened and a boy and girl stepped in. They appeared to be twins. They both had short brown hair, bright yellow eyes, and the boy had a fang on the lower left of his mouth, while the sister had a fang on the lower right. They both had wide, mischievous grins, which showed off their white smiles. The girl had a heart shaped necklace hanging around her neck.

"What's up?" The boy said casually. The students whispered at the friendly greeting.

"Onii-chan, I think that was a bit to casual. They don't even know you yet." The girl told her brother. The boy scratched his head and chuckled.

"Alright you two, why don't you tell us a bit about yourselves?" Narumi-sensei suggested.

"Well, I'm Shikijou, and this is my little sister Suki. We're twins from Tokyo, and we've known about our Alices since right around we started school. They only work and last one day a year, but it's amusing to watch what happens." Shikijou said with a laugh.

"Onii-chan, if you keep talking like that, you're going to scare them. I'm Suki, and as he said, I'm his little sister. I was born a few minutes after him, but I'm the more responsible one. What he said was true, that our Alices only work one day a year, but it actually is interesting to see them work." Suki said.

"Why don't you tell us what your Alices do?" Narumi-sensei suggested. Suki and Shikijou looked at each other and shrugged.

"Alright, I guess it couldn't hurt to tell them now." Shikijou said.

"Alright. Well, to start simply, our Alices are pheromone Alices. They start taking effect on someone ten minutes after we've left them. And they just so happen to activate today. So for example, ten minutes after class is over, everyone in this room will be affected." Suki said with a small smile.

The class suddenly broke into an angry chatter.

"What does she mean we'll all be affected?"

"Did they plan this?"

"Does that mean we've all just been forced to take part in their plan?"

"Calm down class! Now before you get all riled up, why don't we listen to what their Alice is?" Narumi-sensei said calmly. The class reluctantly settled down.

"Thank you Narumi-sensei. Now then, our Alices, as we said, are pheromone Alices. The people who are affected, will suddenly find themselves heavily attracted to the first person they see." Suki said with a smile. Hotaru spoke up for the first time after the class remained silent.

"So basically what you're saying is, those who are affected, fall in love with the first person they see?" She asked with a glare.

"Basically." Suki said with a shrug. The uproar of the class rose up again.

"Class. Class, settle down. CLASS!" Narumi-sensei yelled. Suddenly a large flame rose in the air above them. The class ducked and remained silent as the fire went into Natsume's hand.

"Thanks. Now, let me explain in more detail, so you can know when someone's been affected.

Number 1. Anyone affected will automatically be overcome with an obsessive attraction to the person that they first see.

Number 2. That person's reasoning will be completely pushed down when it comes to the person of their affection.

Number 3. If the affected person kisses the person of their affection, the effects of our Alice will break. It will also break if they're kissed by someone else. So technically if you kiss someone who's affected, both of you will be set free from the effects.

Number 4. This is no fake love. Those affected will then actually know what it's like to be in love with someone. It won't just be some baseless crush. The strength of the obsession and love will depend on how good of a person the target of affection is.

And finally, Number 5. It doesn't matter what gender the person is, or what gender the target of their affection is. Everyone is a target." Shikijou explained, all the while wearing a smug grin.

"Oh and another thing. Since we both have that ability, we aren't usually affected. But there was once where we were, so for all we know, we might be chasing one of you." Suki said with an unconcerned look on her face. The class began whispering to each other mutinously, some plotting to lock themselves in their rooms, some discussing who they would try to get to fall in love them.

"So what do you think of this Natsume?" Ruka asked.

"I'm not crazy about the idea, but it's not like I'm a stranger to people obsessing over me." Natsume pointed out. Ruka looked around and saw girls staring at them already.

"I guess you're right. But what about the chance that you'll fall for someone?" Ruka asked worriedly. Natsume sat up.

"I'm not sure what to make of these guys, but I can tell you that it doesn't matter what happens. The likelihood that two people end up liking each other because of this is small, so I won't be kissing anyone, and then it'll all be over tomorrow." Natsume said casually. But a frown was on his face.

"So what are you going to do about it? Surely you're not going to hide in your room all day?" Natsume asked.

"I don't know. What you just said sounds like a good idea, but I'm just not sure how to take this whole thing."

"At least we know one person that won't be falling for us." Natsume said.

"You mean Mikan?"

"Who else? She's not affected by pheromone Alices, so she'll only have people going after her. She's not going to be with anyone, so it's safe to talk to her at least." Natsume said, leaning back again.

"But wouldn't that mean that we'd fall in love with her?" Ruka asked.

"Aren't you forgetting something?" Natsume asked. Ruka just stared at him. Natsume sighed.

"Do I have to spell it out? Here's a hint. We argued over who she would ask for a dance at the ball. Get it now?" Natsume reminded him. Ruka blushed.

"Oh yeah."

"So we wouldn't really be falling in love… It'd just be intensified." Natsume reasoned.

"I wonder how Mikan would take hearing that." A voice said suddenly. They both jumped.

"Hotaru! Did you just hear… what we were talking about?" Ruka asked.

"Not just heard. I have recordings." Hotaru said, holding up a tape recorder in the shape of a notebook.

Hotaru's Invention # 174

"This is the 'diary of other's' recorder. It's designed to look like a diary, but can be used to secretly record conversations of others. Or as a handy tool for those who take bad notes (cough, Mikan, cough)"

"Well, whatever, what do you want?" Ruka asked.

"What do you think? What are you planning on doing about this?" Hotaru asked emotionlessly.

"What do you mean? They're isn't much we can do about it, is there?" Natsume asked.

"Are you okay with the chance of Kami knows how many guys and girls chasing after Mikan, Trying to gain her affection? She might even get kissed." Hotaru said with a small smile. Ruka's and Natsume's eyes widened, and Natsume sat up again.

"In fact, I think that would be her first kiss." Hotaru said slyly. Natsume and Ruka both stood up, anxious glares on their faces.

"Alright, we can't let that happen."

"Yeah, we have to make sure that Mikan doesn't get hurt or anything."

"Well, what do you plan on doing about it?"

Just as Natsume was about to open his mouth, something interrupted him.

The bell rang, signaling the end of class. The two new students left first, leaving the others to whatever might happen.

Total-Insanty519: Alright, that's the first chapter. What will happen next? Will the class fall under the Alice? Who else will get hit with the Cupid Alice? Stay tuned to find out!
