Chapter 2: I am there for you!

The Next day Mikan woke up to her ever annoying alarm clock. She got up from her bed and got a sleepy start towards her bathroom. She went inside her bathroom brushed her teeth and took a bath, half sleeping throughout the time. She came out of her bathroom and went to her cabinet to find a suitable outfit for herself. After half an hour later she finished fixing herself. She wore a Cream Lace wrap top with Turquoise Lace Down pants accessorised with Teale Satin bow pumps, Mini Strawberry tote, Lux gold Medallion Bracelet, Simple Diamond drop Necklace, Turquoise Flower ring and a Dangling Diamond drop Earrings. (A/N Wow so classy).Funny Mikan did all this and she didn't even see her alarm Clock. But When she did ...1...2...3

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...Hotaru will kill me...I'm Late...

She rushed to the bus stop. The Girls were already waiting for her there. Luckily the Bus hasn't arrived yet.

Late as usual...When are you ever going to learn to be on time Mikan Sumire spatted

I'm sorry guys! I guess I let the time fly! Mikan Apologized

It's alright Mikan-chan the bus hasn't arrived yet said Anna

Yes I wouldn't want to Miss Central Town! I'm so excited! Shopping in Central town! Ah! I just can't wait! Mikan Jumped up and Down (Anime Style)

Ah Mikan did you ask Natsume to come? I mean you can't go if your partner doesn't accompany you right? Nonoko enquired

Yes I told him yesterday! He isn't here yet! Sulked Mikan

***Flashback***

**The day before**

(While walking with Natsume to the Dorm)

Mikan: Natsume-san, Natsume-san...Please! Come with me to Central Town!

Natsume: Why do I have to go with an ugly girl like you?

Mikan: But I am your Partner! I'm only allowed to go if my partner also accompanies me!

Natsume: I guess you're that big of an idiot that you forget not only your lessons but also the rules that are imposed on you Polka dots

Mikan: What do you mean? I didn't forget any rules...if I had forgotten then why I would be here asking you, you jerk!

Natsume: What you asked me is only half the rule idiot!

Mikan: uh?

Natsume: I must be with you the entire time you're in central town boring girl. I don't want to spend my entire day with an ugly girl like you Strawberries.

Mikan: Ah! But it's a girl's day out you can't be with me the entire time! And I don't get it! How would YOU feel if I called you names like "boring" or "polkadot" or "strawberry print"? My name is Mikan... M.I.K.A.N... Mikan you pervert!But Please! Come with me! I beg of you!

Natsume: Ugly, stay away ape girl. Why would I want to go with an Idiot like you?

Mikan: But I can't go if you don't come! Please! Natsume!

Natsume: Whatever... (Mikan Felt relieved within this period: D) In Exchange you must be my gofer. (A/N Natsume isn't Natsume if he doesn't make Mikan do like this ;))

Mikan: Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaat! (Mikan Cried Anime Style) I'll do my best! Since it's to go to Central town! Central town!

***End of Flashback***

Thank goodness that Natsume-san decided to go to Central town with you, Mikan-chan! Anna exclaimed

Just then Natsume made his appearance from behind a tree. He was hiding there the entire time and was waiting for Mikan to arrive (A/N He would never let her know that he waited for her) and Further off all he didn't want to be caught up in the chatters of his class girls who were accompanying Mikan. He made his way to Mikan and the girls.

Natsume, you're here! Good Morning! Mikan Exclaimed happily

...

Eh Natsume you can atleast wish me back? You sure are anti social aren't you!

You sure are an Idiot aren't you smirked Natsume

Why you! You never change you jerk!

Oi remember our deal polka dots, you are my gofer for the day or else...

Or else no central town I know...Mikan put her head down and sulked

Everyone else sweat dropped. They know how both of them feel for each other but did not know where the both were headed to. They just hope they would be fine along the way.

Oh my God! Natsume-kun, your here! Beamed Sumire

Don't move I'm right here! Sumire fantasy jumped towards Natsume only to find Natsume had moved from her way and she went crashing into a tree nearby.

Why'd you have to get out of the way? Cried sumire

The Bus came and everyone hopped on. Natsume took the last seat in the bus which was isolated.

In the Bus...

Hello. Would anyone like some ice cream? Mikan deadpanned

Oh, give me one. Hey, isn't that chocolate?! I only eat Vanilla!

I'll have the strawberry flavour!

I'm the gofer, and I'm gofing all I can, but this is just...Mikan cried Anime style

Stupid!

Good-for-nothing!

I'll do my best! Mikan proclaimed since it's to go to central town!

At Central town***

As usual Mikan jumped and beamed at everything in central town.

Calm down...Hotaru waved

All right! Let's do a ton of shopping girls! Mikan Declared.

They headed to Angels Haven as they have planned the day before. Natsume just took out his manga and headed for the tree where once Mikan had presented to him the last piece of Hawalon that she first bought during her very first trip to central town. He remembers everything about her and this has not gone unnoticed by "anyone" except the said one "Mikan Sakura". He heaved a sigh thinking about her dense self and seated himself leaning his back on the tree. He took out his shonen manga and started flipping through the pages.

Meanwhile with Mikan and the girls***

The store had a lot of collections. The girls wear lost within the racks of clothes. Finally after an hour of rummaging through the racks they each found what they'd like.

Mikan bought an Orange Bow Blouse, a White full tennis skirt and a Serene Snowflake Lace Tights

Hotaru bought a Top stylist Black white dance pants and a top stylist Blouse

Anna bought a Blush Low – cut Blouse chain, a Pink rose skirt and a Pink rose Lace legging

Sumire bought a Faux Fur Halter top and a two toned Legging

Finally Nonoko bought a Blue Ombre Polo Tank, a Red Diamond Hatch Legging and a White Full tennis Skirt

The girls exited the shop chattering and laughing when the nearby store caught the attention of Sumire. Girls look a ball gown store! Wow those dresses are amazing! Shouted Sumire

Yes you are right! They look beautiful! Anna exclaimed

I know why don't we get a ball gown each and throw a ball, in one of our rooms! Just a pretend ball! What do you say girls? Chirped Sumire

Yes it's been quite a while hasn't it since we had any dance party! Nonoko said

Then it's decided we are throwing a spring ball! Yeah! Sumire decided

What is the matter Mikan-chan? Are you ok? You seem uncomfortable sort off! Anna enquired Mikan

It's just that with my allowance those gowns are so out my reach! And I have spent my money on these dresses we bought! I don't know if I have enough Sulked Mikan(A/N Sulking again Mikan! )

I can lend you some money if you'd like Mikan-chan? Anna said

Me too. With interest, of course. Hotaru emotionlessly said

Thank yo-Mikan was immediately cut off by the memory of her grandfather saying Money is not mean't to be lent or borrowed! Especially by you who have a social status of a child. It's improper!

I know. I know, Grandpa. I won't rely on anyone! Mikan put her head down in defeat.

Thank you guys, but no thank you! Why don't you guys get your dresses and I'll help you select.

But we are going to throw a party and you are going to be left alone with no gown Anna said

No that's alright. I'm sure I can wear some of my old dresses.

Are you sure Mikan? Nonoko asked

I'm sure you guys and now let's get going! Mikan cheerfully pushed her friends into the store.

Unknown to her a pair of Crimson eyes were eyeing her and felt he should do something about it. Even though he will never tell her he did it.

The day ended. And the girls were heading to the bus stop. But Mikan was not present with them; she had excused herself from the girls stating that she wanted to go to the toilet. But the girls knew better than to believe that! They know she has gone to find Natsume. There never goes a day without beginning and ending without the said crimson eyed fire caster for Mikan but she was too dense to even notice it.

Mikan found Natsume sleeping under a tree. Natsume! Mikan called out!

Natsume took off the manga from his head and sternly looked at Mikan.

She just gave him a warm big smile in reply to his stern frown.

She went near him and presented a box to him.

What's this?

Just a thank you present for you! Thank you Natsume! Thank you for coming to central town with me! I know you've had nothing to do but you were the reason I had so much fun today with the girls so thank you very much Natsume!

What's this supposed to be? Natsume inquired

A Box of Hawalon's! Mikan cheered

Who the heck would want something like this?

Ah Come on Natsume! Who would not want hawalons?! Everyone loves Hawalons! And I spend last of my rabbits to get that for you so be a little grateful would ya?!

Well apparently everyone else is an idiot like you to want this. Natsume blurted

Natsume for once just woud you try to act normal! Apparently you're different from everyone else and you don't even care when someone gives something to you! It's called friendship and not idiotism!

Well I don't care...Natsume said

Mikan just sat next to him defeated. Apparently he will never listen to anyone.

Just then Natsume handed her a piece of Hawalon! Here...

Saying Mikan's face lighted up would be the understatement of the year. She was very happy because of Natsume's kind gesture. Thank you Natsume! She beamed

Don't be so happy, for all I know you could have poisoned these and I was just checking to make sure if they weren't! Natsume said then his trade mark smirk appeared on his face.

Naaaaaaaaatttttttttsssssssssssssssuummeeeeeeeeee...I would not do that in my entire life! You Jerk!

Oi My Ears are bleeding ugly. Would you stop this stupid tantrum of yours Polka Dots! Or should I say Dolphins. *Smirk* (A/N How did he know when Mikan is wearing pants? Hmm thinking...)

Natsume Youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Hentai! Erupted the volcano named Mikan

Everyone heard it from the bus stop and smiled to themselves. Everything is the same as usual in the world of Natsume and Mikan they all thought in unison.

When Mikan arrived with her friends to their dorm she said her goodbyes from them and excused herself early because she knows that they will be dressing up and admiring their new gowns they have bought. She didn't buy one so she felt that she needn't stay with them. But when she arrived at the door of her dorm room she found a big red box tied neatly with blue ribbon which was labelled to be delivered to her.

What's this?! Ah! She picked it up and the box was pretty heavy.

She opened her door dancing for balance while holding the box in her hand. She went inside her one star room and placed the box on her bed. She sat near the box and started to unwrap it carefully. When she opened it she was dumbfounded. There in the box was a ball gown so beautiful that it definitely must've cost more than the other girl's dresses.

Then a smile plastered on her face and her eyes reflected a glance of knowing...
