REVISED CHAPTER.

When You Wish Upon A Star
By: Aminatsu032

Hand in hand, Wish I would see
That a stranger could be my friend

CHAPTER 2 "Shall I, Or Shall I Not?"

'Oh no!' Mikan thought. 'The burglar's got me!'

She tried to break free but whoever it was, was just so strong for her. And then it hit her! Well…it may be gross but it also may be the only way.

Sticking to her idea without any second thoughts, she started a countdown.

3...
2...
1...

Hesitant but desperate, Mikan licked the 'burglar's' hand, and thank fully, the burglar let go of her.

She glided swiftly to get her umbrella that slipped off her hand when the person grabbed her and hit the person who was hidden in the house's darkness.

"OUCH!" the person said.

"Who are you and what are you doing in my house! You...you burglar!" said Mikan as she continued hitting.

First hit, second hit, third hit and so on.

"Is that how you treat a visitor?! You were the one who wished me out of my kingdom!" the burglar said as he tried to get the darn umbrella out of her hand.

"Pardon? Wished you out of your kingdom?" said Mikan without stopping her 'hitting session'. "I hardly even know you!"

"Ouch! Stop hitting me!" he said as he finally got the chance to grab the umbrella.

"Who are you and what are you doing here!?" yelled Mikan so loud that the person covered his ears.

She thought she saw the light in the next lot open.

"I already told you! You wished me out of my kingdom!" he replied.

"URGH! Just show yourself first you ugly h—," Mikan was cut off when he saw his face.

The face of a boy about Mikan's age with crimson eyes and raven hair appeared from the darkness. He was rubbing his head and he was certainly not ugly.

Mikan's mouth hangs open. She took two steps backward and turned the lights on to have a clear view of him.

He was taller than she; about a head and a half taller.

"What were you saying?" the boy said as he stopped rubbing his head and put his hands on his pockets.

"Uh...n-nothing! J-just tell me who you are!" said Mikan as she blushed a little and looked away.

The raven-haired boy smirked.

"I'm Hyuuga Natsume," he started, "As I have said, you wished me outta my kingdom."

"WOULD YOU PLEASE ELABORATE!"

"Sigh! As you can see, I'm so unfortunate to be your guardian star. I was assigned to this job like everyone else and what I do it to grant your wishes," explained Natsume.

"G-GRANT MY WISHES?! What guardian star? And one thing…you never grant my wishes!" Mikan snapped as she crossed her arms. "When I wished I could find a lottery ticket, there was none!"

"Well, the next day, a 'piece of paper' was in front of you when you were walking to school. What did you do? You threw it in the trash without even looking at it," said Natsume flatly.

Mikan sweat dropped, 'I did do that, did I?'

"Wh-what about the time when I wished that my Hotaru would call me?" said Mikan finding at least one thing that would make her statement true.

"She did call you that day but you were too busy doing your assignment and told yourself 'No phone calls'," explained Natsume.

"Well, what about the time when I wished I was a tooth fairy?!"

"That wish was just too impossible to grant," said Natsume, "Anymore?"

"Okay, I'm convinced!" said Mikan as she rolled her auburn eyes.

There was silence between the two after that. Mikan was looking at her feet. At that, she said, "Can you bring my mom to life?"

Natsume looked at her expressionlessly.

"I'm sorry…" he simply said

Tears fell from Mikan's eyes as she bit her lower lip. Natsume couldn't do anything. It was against the rules to bring someone back to life.

"I'm sure that…" he began to say, "wherever your mom is, she'll always be by your side."

Mikan looked at the raven-haired boy and wiped her tears.

"You're right," she said, her eyes still watery, "I'd better go to sleep now...I still have classes tomorrow."

Mikan started marching to her room and then she came to a halt.

Pointing her umbrella to Natsume, she said, "You can sleep at the guest room...I've got my eye on you!"

Natsume sweat dropped as he watched Mikan's walking figure march to her room.

"She forgot to tell me where the guest room was…" Natsume said to himself, "Oh well…"

Natsume shrugged looked for the room himself.
