Chapter 1: Unexpected Things and Visitors!
In the ground of Alice Academy…
"Huh?" A girl said, looking in the sky. It's the first snow fall this year. It's snowing beautifully.
There are plenty of snowflakes falling from the sky yet there is one thing that's different. A white thing that's sparkling but it's not a snowflake. She watches it until it landed on his palm. As she touch it, she felt warm in her heart and body even it's cold and freezing on that day yet it warms her up.
"It's a feather but I never seen this kind of feather before. It's different. It warms me up." The girl said as she put the feather in her hands closer to her heart. It really feels warm. She feels alive and joy and warm but not cold, loneliness and disappointment. Then she walked away carrying the feather on her hands.
After 6 months…
Kring…Kring… Kring…
"Ah, it's already morning. Better get ready or I'll be late." Mikan said as she stand up then went to the bathroom then she remembers something.
"Oh, it's Saturday morning today. Well I'm awake so better get started for a Saturday morning." Mikan said and continue to do her daily routines. She dresses up casually (since it's Saturday and they don't have school today
She went straight to the dining room to eat her breakfast and see Yuu and Hotaru eating already with Anna and Nonoko.
She sat beside Hotaru.
In the dining room…
"Good Morning, Hotaru, Yuu, Anna and Nonoko." Mikan greeted.
"Good Morning too, Mikan!" both Anna and Nonoko greeted back.
"Hi, Mikan!" Yuu greeted. And Hotaru just nodded.
"You're early today. Are you going to do something this Saturday morning?" Mikan asked and Yuu and Anna nodded.
"Well, yeah. Mr. Fujiwari wants my report to be finished this day and Hotaru will help me to finish my report." Yuu said.
"I'll be with Nonoko doing some experiments that we can add up." Anna said and Nonoko nodded showing that she agree of what Anna had said.
"Oh!" Mikan said then ate her food. Then Yuu and Hotaru stand up.
"Bye, Mikan, Bye, Anna, Bye, Nonoko. We'll be going now." Yuu said then as he walked away with Hotaru. He waved to them and they waved back.
"We'll be going as well, Mikan. Bye Mikan." Anna said as she walked away with Nonoko who wave to Mikan.
"We'll I guessed I'm on my own now." Mikan said as she stares to her food. She sighed.
"Can we sit beside you, Mikan?" a blond boy said.
"Oh, good morning Ruka, sure why not." Mikan said as she stared to Ruka who's with Natsume. Ruka sat beside Mikan and Natsume seat beside Ruka who's still reading a manga. Ruka start to eat but Natsume didn't.
"Hey, Natsume. Aren't you going to eat breakfast?" Mikan asked as she looks at Natsume. Then Natsume put down his manga and look at Mikan.
"I ate already." Natsume said then went back to his business. And Mikan continue to eat.
In Maychin Kingdom…
"What do you think Princess Mariwaly mean by that." A brown haired man said as he really thinks hard.
"Well, that's the same thing Princess Emerald said when we're in the Jade country." A blond haired man said.
"So that's mean that that person is still interfering with our journey, Right? That's the one who tell about the Sakura's feather to Dr. Kyle, but who's that person?" A tall with black hair man said.
"I'm ready!" a girl with brown hair said.
"Mokona Midoki is excited to go to the next world. Haa-puh!" a fluff ball said as he jump from the girl's shoulder and open his mouth and a light came as he open his feather. It's time to go the next world. (Where do you think is it?)
Back in the Alice academy…
"It seems that they are busy this Saturday. They're always busy." Mikan said as she walked around the grounds of the Alice Academy and brought her to a familiar place.
"Oh, the Sakura Tree, Maybe I'll stay there for a while. It helps me to think about something." Mikan said then sat beside near the tree.
"What you're doing here, Strawberry print girl?" a voice said from above. Mikan look up and see the raven haired boy wearing a blue t-shirt and shorts standing on the branch of the tree that Mikan usually see when she went here.
"Oh, Hi Natsume, Well, this tree helps me to think about something. How about you?" Mikan said then Natsume went down from the tree. And sat on the other side of the tree and take out his manga and read it.
"You're always reading manga, don't you ever get tired of reading it." Mikan said.
"It's none of your business, Polka-dot" Natsume said.
"Fine then I'm going." Mikan said and stand up and left but Natsume didn't mind.
While walking she met with Yuu and Hotaru.
"Hi, Yuu, are you finish already?" Mikan asked and Yuu nodded.
"Mikan, we're going to the central town this afternoon. Do you want to come?" Yuu asked.
"Oh, Sure. I'll be glad too." Mikan said.
"Hmm, Maybe I should ask Natsume?" Mikan thought.
"What time are we going to the central town?" Mikan asked.
"Well, the bus usually goes to central town 3 o'clock. So we'll be meeting up 3in the bus stop." Yuu said.
"Okay, so I'll just meet you there. Bye!" Mikan said then left with smile on her face and went back to the Sakura tree and see Natsume still there but this time sleeping with a manga covering his face.
"Oh, He's asleep now. He's always sleeping. Well, he's always having missions during night time." Mikan thought then she take a closer look at Natsume. She kneels down beside Natsume. Natsume who's still asleep move to face the side where Mikan is sitting throwing off his manga from his face, showing his face. Mikan who's curious looks closer at the sleeping Natsume. Then he faces the sky still sleeping peacefully his hand on his chest and the other one still at the back of his neck.
"He looks cute when he's sleeping. I hope he's always sleeping without a manga covering his face" Mikan thought as she giggles and then somebody grab her hands. Mikan was really shocked. She's trembling. Then the hand pulls her closer to Natsume. Natsume's hand is holding hers. One of his eyes opens Mikan who's afraid that Natsume might burn her was really shaking yet blushing.
"What do you want, idiot?" Natsume asked.
"Nothing!" Mikan said still shaking and blushing.
"Don't worry I will not burn you or something." Natsume said coldly as he open both of his eyes. He then sat up properly as he stare to Mikan's hazel eyes still not letting her hand go. Mikan blushed harder but not letting Natsume see it. Natsume raised an eye brow.
"Even she's hiding it; I can still see that she's blushing." Natsume thought still staring at the blushing Mikan.
"Well, Yuu ask me if I want to go to the Central town and I said yes so I want just to invite to go with us at the Central town." Mikan ask trying to avoid Natsume's stare.
"And why would I do that?" Natsume hissed.
"Well I'm just asking you? I'm not forcing you to do it. And I know that you'll go with Ruka and Youichii. If you don't want then don't go. You're such a jerk." Mikan pouted looking at him and forced him to let her hand go. Then she folded her arms and looks the other way. Natsume just stared at her.
"She looks cute on her stubborn nature, adorable yet idiotic." Natsume thought.
"I'll go with you but I don't want others to come with us. Meet me at the bus stop before 3 pm and don't be late." Natsume said as Mikan look at him with questioning look. Natsume stands up and walk then paused.
"Wear decent clothes or casually just not uniform and not that either." Natsume said then walked away. Mikan can't help but to stare at him as he walked away then she look at her clothes. Well she's just wearing t-shirt and jeans.
"Did he just ask me a date?" Mikan asked herself then went stand up and walked away. They didn't know that Ruka and Hotaru are listening to their conversation.
"Did you hear that Ruka? Natsume ask Mikan out?" Hotaru teased. As he look at Ruka with teasing eyes.
"So what, it's okay." Ruka said with a little blush but he returned to his normal color.
"What do you say we spy on her and her date with Natsume? I'll be rich if I sell those pictures." Hotaru said with dollar sign on his violet eyes.
"So that's why Mikan suddenly changed her answer." Someone said from their behind. They both look behind and see a blondie with glasses. It's Yuu.
"What do you mean Yuu?" Ruka said.
"Well I ran to her and we bump to each other a while ago. Then she said she'll not go with me in the central town but she said yes when I ask her first." Yuu said.
Flashback…
Yuu is walking on the ground of the Alice Academy then he accidentally bump to a girl.
"Sorry!" the girl said.
"Oh, Hi Mikan, Don't worry its okay." Yuu said.
"Oh, by the way I can't go with you at the Central Town. You can ask Hotaru about it if you like." Mikan said then runaway.
"Why?" Yuu shouted and Mikan paused.
"Well, I got something to do. Good bye." Mikan said as she run away.
"Something to do, she's up to something?" Yuu thought.
End of Flashback…
"Okay, then let's spy on them. We should meet at the bus stop before them." Hotaru said and Yuu and Ruka nodded showing they agree. They all left in different ways.
2:57 at the bus stop…
"Where could that idiot girl be? I said don't be late." Natsume said as he waits at the bus stop wearing a red polo with white t-shirt and black jeans with rubber shoes and his favorite cross pendant. Then he heard footsteps coming his way. It was Mikan running towards her wearing a yellow dress.
"Pant… Pant… I… made… it… pant." Mikan said panting.
"You're late, I told you to be here in 2:55 and you're late." Natsume said.
"What? I'm on time, see it's only 2:58, you said we suppose to meet here before 3 and it's not yet 3. You're such a moron." Mikan said.
"Yeah, yeah, Look the bus is coming." Natsume said as he point out at the bus that's coming.
They ride the bus and the spy group joins them too secretly. (Well, you know, Ruka, Hotaru and Yuu.) They seat in the 2nd row in the back of the driver which make everyone look at them.
"What? Natsume and the legendary Triple-Alice-User are dating. No way!" Some whispered to another which makes Mikan blush a little bit.
Then Natsume suddenly place his one arm to Mikan's neck which really shocked Mikan. On the back, Yuu, Ruka and Hotaru widened their eyes and jaw dropped as they saw what Natsume did. (Can you imagine Hotaru doing that?)
"Natsume, what are you doing?" Mikan whispered.
"Sssh, don't make a noise and just do what I said." Natsume whispered.
"What is he up to this time? He's beginning to look and sound weird." Mikan thought.
They arrived at the Central Town at exactly 3:10. Then Natsume drag Mikan near an Ice Cream stand.
"What flavor do you want?" Natsume ask.
"Uum, Strawberry is okay." Mikan said.
"Stay here, I'll get it for you." Natsume said then left and went to the Ice Cream stand. He went back with 2 cups of ice cream, one is chocolate and one is strawberry.
"Here. Let's go to the park." Natsume said as he walks. Mikan followed him.
"Is this really Natsume, the cold Natsume who's always calling me names? He's so different from the one I know. So this is Natsume that Ruka says, the good side of Natsume." Mikan thought.
They arrived at the park and Natsume sit on a bench. Mikan followed him and sat beside him.
"You're thinking why I was this huh?" Natsume began to talk as he open his ice cream cup. Mikan nodded.
"Well, there's something bothering me these days and when I'm with you, it clears my mind. Don't tell everyone." Natsume said as Mikan look at him who's starting to eat his ice cream. Mikan blushed and open her ice cream cup too. They both eat their ice cream then Natsume suddenly stand, close his cup and look around.
"What is it Natsume?" Mikan ask who finished her cup.
"Someone is watching us for sometime now." Natsume whispered then throw his empty and close cup in to the bush in front of them and its Bulls eye. He hit Yuu. The three who belongs to the spy group stand up.
"Huh, Yuu, Ruka and Hotaru. What are you doing here?" Mikan said as she stands up.
"We kinda heard your conversation and followed you all to your date." Ruka said as he blush a little.
"Date? This is not a date. I… I just go with Natsume, that's all." Mikan said blushing.
Then the wind began blowing strongly which blow Mikan's dress a little getting Natsume, only Natsume a view of her favorite under wear, (do you know what it is?) her strawberry print under wear. (Well, I don't know what print of her undie is her favorite, just imagining it.)
"Oh, Strawberry print again, you're too old for baby prints you know." Natsume teased. Mikan was about to say something but then they saw a big tear drop from the sky beginning to flow down until it reached the ground which get their attention and then…
"Puh, We arrive at the next world." A fluff ball mascot something said as he went to a tall dark haired man's shoulders.
"Do you call this arriving, you Fluff ball?" the tall man said.
"Come on now, Mystery man. You can't call Mokona names." A blond haired man said.
"Quit calling me Mystery Man." The tall man shouted angrily.
"Hey guys, I think someone saw us arriving." A brown haired man or boy said as he stand up and help the girl with them stand up and point to the gang who has wide eyes. Then the two man stand up to.
"Who are they?" Mikan said.
"Who are you guys? Where do you come from? Are you from AAO?" Natsume said angrily as a fire ball appear on his hand.
"No, we're from another dimension. We came here to look for something." The brown haired man said.
"Yeah, like you can fool me. Prepare to die." Natsume said angrily.
"Natsume, don't, they look serious. They are telling the truth." Mikan said as he holds Natsume back. Then the fire ball in Natsume's hands faded.
"Did Mikan nullify it or Natsume is the one who made it fade?" Ruka said.
Nick: There you go. Chapter one has ended. I hope you like it as I enjoy doing it.
Ruka: Have you seen Imai?
Nick: Don't tell me you're going after her again. You should stuff doing that. You look like lovebirds you know.
Ruka: Shut Up! (Yells as he left but blushing)
