It was just another day in the countryside. There were two 5 year old children in the fields. A girl and a boy. They were enjoying the nice weather and nature (Well, one was reading manga, and one was begging the other to play with them),
"Natsume, let's play Princess!" A little 5 year old brunette called. She climbed up a tree and to the little boy who was sitting on it.
"No ugly, leave me alone." The boy said coldly. He raised his manga off his face and looked at her. She pouted adorably.
"Natsume!" She looked like she was going to cry, but the boy remained indifferent. "Mou! You're so mean Natsume!" She scrunched up her nose. "Well, you aren't my ideal prince anyways, so it doesn't matter!" She crossed her arms and looked away.
'I'm not her ideal prince?She must be blind! I'm handsome, smart, and not to mention popular! What's not to like?!'
"Then what is your ideal prince?" He asked, a bit curious but didn't show it.
"The prince first must have blond, silky hair and pale skin, but not too pale. For all the princes in the books do." She said, "Then he must be smart and good looking too." She added.
'I don't have silky, blond hair and pale skin? That's just discrimination!' Natsume thought
"He must also treat me with respect, kindness, and he must love me." She listed.
'Well, I'm definitely out then...I wonder if I did match all of those, would she....?' Natsume pondered about it until Mikan interrupted his thoughts.
"Well then Natsume," She sighed, " Let's go play something you like." She jumped down the tree, pulling him along as well.
"Alright," He put his manga away. "Polka," He stuffed his hands in his pockets and walked away.
'Polka? I wonder what he means...' Mikan thought.

"NATSUME NO HENTAI!!!" Mikan shouted angrily at the retreating figure. She chased after him and smiled.
{10 years later}
Mikan was sleeping peacefully in her bed. A shadow loomed over her and she woke up.
"NATSUME!!!" She yelled, surprised. Natsume was looking at her.
{Downstairs}
"Natsume must have just woken Mikan up." Yuka said smiling.
"Eh, doesn't he get tired of that?" Narumi said, reading the newspaper and taking a sip of his coffee.
"I don't know but," She smirked, "I hope they end up together." Narumi choked on his coffee and spit it out.
"N-nani?! (what)" He stuttered.
{Back upstairs}
"Baka, don't be so loud, and hurry up. You don't want to be late for the first day of high school." She looked at her clock, it read '8:34 am'. She gasped while the boy just smirked.
"I'M GOING TO BE LATE!" She kicked Natsume out of her room and got ready. It was '8:45 am'. "I'm skipping breakfast!" Mikan yelled as she ran outside with Natsume. They both got on his bicycle and he pedaled as fast as he could. "Ne Natsume?"
"Hn?"
"Just because you're my childhood friend and your window is across from mine doesn't mean that you can climb in." She pouted, "I'm a full fledged girl now, and I need a boyfriend!" The bike almost tipped over. Natsume bursted out laughing.
"YOU? A FULL FLEDGED GIRL?" He laughed. "You know you have to be at least a B cup to be considered a girl?" He said, Mikan blushed.
"Says who?!"
"Says me!" He laughed more as they got near the school. They got off and ran to their class, making it.
"Mikan Chan!" A pink haired girl called.
"Anna Chan! Nonoko Chan! Hotaru Chan!" Mikan called out to them. She ran over to them.
"Look at this!" Nonoko waved something in front of her eyes. It was.... a magazine!
"Is this a magazine?!" Her eyes sparkled. It was hard to get a magazine from Tokyo from where they're from.
"Look at him!" Anna pointed to the guy on the cover. "He's hot!" They giggled.
"Wow!" Mikan said. The boy on the cover had golden hair, deep, blue eyes, and pale, soft looking skin. "He's handsome!"
"Let's read his description," Hotaru said. They opened the magazine and read it.

Personality: Is sweet and shy. Always is loyal and true to his friends and always chooses his family over his popularity. Is not the type to cheat.
Info: He is a new model who is working for money to help the local animal hospital. He has never had his first love yet and is kind to everyone. He is half french, half Japanese.
"Wow! So he's part foreigner! How cool!" Mikan exclaimed with hearts in her eyes.
'He's my ideal prince!' She thought. Then Jinno Sensei came in and they started their lessons.
'Wow...such a cool face,slender, long, legs, and golden hair.' Mikan daydreamed until...
"SAKURA! Answer this question!" Jinno Sensei said, and of course she didn't know it, and of course she got a punishment.
"Mou..." Mikan whined during lunch.
"That's what you get for not listening." Hotaru said, biting into her sandwich.
"I can't stop thinking about him...." Mikan zoned out.
"Thinking about who?" A voice said as an arm wrapped around her neck. "Was it me?" He smirked.
"Stop it Natsume," Mikan said, bored. "Of course not, it was Ruka Pyon!" His expression darkened a little but the brunette didn't seem to notice.
"Who's that?" He asked. He let go of her.
"That's the new model in Tokyo!" She exclaimed drooling. "He has the exact qualities for my prince!" She smiled like an idiot.
"What's so great about him?" Natsume said coolly.
"He's handsome and cute, smart, kind, sweet, popular, cool-" Mikan was interrupted by Natsume.
"You can be quiet now Ichigo Kara (Strawberry Print)," Natsume sighed and walked off.
"Ichigo???" Her friends said.
"Kara?" Mikan repeated.

"NATSUME YOU PERVERT!!!!!" Mikan yelled. "You act like an old man! You, you....molester!!!" Mikan shouted at the top of her lungs. Then she noticed other kids in the cafeteria staring at her. She was embarrassed and sat down quietly.
"Hey Mikan~" Anna said.
"What?" Mikan said, in a bad mood.
"I think that-" Nonoko finished the sentence for her.
"Natsume likes you~" They both giggled and Hotaru shot her Baka gun at them.
"Stop acting like morons." She said to them. They whined about how their foreheads hurt.
"Anyways," Mikan said, sighing, "That could never be true, he always teases me."
"Do you like him?" Nonoko asked.
"O-of course not!" Mikan stuttered, flustered. "I could never like a pervert like him!" Hotaru, Anna, and Nonoko just shook their heads.
Natsume was taking Mikan home on his bike again. They were riding when Mikan suddenly asked Natsume a question.
"Ne, Natsume, do you like me?" Natsume was really surprised at the question and ended up losing control of the bike and they both tumbled down on the street.
"W-what?!" He said, obviously embarrassed.
"Do you like me?" Mikan said. "It couldn't be right? Anna and Nonoko said that you like me." She smiled. Natsume was angry.
"Who would like a flat chested girl like you?" He smirked.
"NATSUME!!!" She shouted, angry. Natsume got up and held out his hand.
"Come on," He said, "We're going now." He said gently, and for a moment there, Mikan saw her prince in him.
'Natsume?' The brunette thought as he grabbed her arm and pulled her up. Then the raven haired boy got his bike and got on. Mikan blushed.
"Come on, we don't want to be late for lunch," He smirked. "Pandas,"
'Pandas???' She thought.

"Natsume!" She yelled, as Natsume rode off without her. She ran up to catch up with him. "Mou! Natsume! Let me on!" He pedaled faster as she ran faster.
'Well,' Mikan thought, 'I guess I could put up living with this Prince Charming...'
