Ok, so I know I got 10 reviews like last month and stuff but I didn't start writing it till I got 10 reviews which was like 3 days after I uploaded chapter 2 :P plus I write the story on my iPad and my dad gave me this restriction thingy where I'm not allowed to to use it after 10 and no using it in the dark. I don't have a laptop so no judging people. I just had an audition today so I'm dead tired plus I had a massive nosebleed just before the audition, talk about bad luck. Then I didn't have time to learn my lines and the nosebleed clogged up my nose, making my voice sound all weird O.O. Thank you for those who actually reviewed this time, I won't give the credits until the last chapter. I'm one of those people who leaves things to last minute. Well, I know you've all been waiting for a while so here is chapter 3, enjoy :D

Chapter 3

The wind blew the cold autumn air towards a handsome raven haired lad tailored in the Gakuen Alice High School Winter Uniform, sleeping underneath a Sakura tree that bloomed beautiful pink blossoms through out the year. He opened his crimson eyes, woken not by the cold wind but by soft tinkles of laughter and giggling.

He stood up, brushed off the fallen petals and crept silently towards the sound. No, he was not going towards the sound because of curiosity but because it sounded so much like the melodic laughter he heard every day five years ago, before that day.

The beautiful voice didn't seem to be alone; it was accompanied by another, one with bell like tinkle. They spoke softly, giggling and laughing constantly.

As the dark haired lad crept closer towards the voices, his attention was immediately taken by a beautiful brunette with silky waist length hair split in the middle of her head. Her hazel eyes looked so familiar yet so lonely and empty, her soft pink lips opened slightly, letting out a giggle with a small smile. She wore a pleated blue skirt with an off the shoulder long sleeve teal T-shirt showing off her luscious curves. Her small feet sported strappy blue heels and her fragile like arm was hooked to a dark haired girl's arm.

The waist length dark haired lass had irises that seemed to change colors every second to every color imaginable. One second a dull grey then to a bright hazel then to amethyst and etc. She wore a purple thigh length dress with a baggy blue 3/4 sleeve jacket. Her long legs were supported on knee length heeled boots.

The brunette spoke softly towards the dark hair girl and the said person stopped in her tracks and cracked up and soon the brunette joined in.

The raven haired lad continued to watch them silently, "The brunette... She looks so much like Mikan." Then slowly walked towards them when SNAP, he had stepped on a broken twig. The dark haired girl whipped her head towards him and quickly snaked water up his feet, the wind spun around the water and froze him in place while the brunette created a vine cage, weaving together, trapping him where he was.

He stood there with a bored look while the brunette looked at him in horror and whispered, "Natsume."

The brunette eyes started to fill with tears and the betrayal of five years ago, she dropped her hazel eyes into her hands and started to weep. The cage around the lad slowly dropped away but the ice didn't. "Elsie," the brunette choked out with a familiar voice that the lad knew so well. "He has the fire Alice."

Natsume's eyes widen by a fracture, "Mikan?"

Elsie seemed to catch on soon after, "Let's go, Mikan." She cradled the brunette against her chest and slowly disappeared.

"Wait!" At the sound of her name being mentioned, he confirmed his suspicion; he quickly melted the ice away and started to run towards the two girls. "Mikan!" He leaped towards them at last second, hoping to stop them or to end up where they were going but he was one inch, one inch away when they were fully gone and he fell down onto the cold, dirty, forest floor face down.

He slowly rose and sat on the hard ground, cleaning his face while running through what just happened in his head.

Some time later a little bunny came hopping towards him with a faint voice calling out, "Usa-chan, wait please!"

Soon that voice revealed a handsome blonde haired boy with blue sparkling eyes wearing the same uniform as the raven haired lad. "Natsume? What are you doing here?"

"Ruka," Natsume said with his bangs hiding his eyes. "Mikan's back."


In a mansion in the Northern Woods (Not Bear's House)

A/N This is in the evening after classes

Blond, red and dark hair were lounging in the games room when Elsie appeared with a crying Mikan into the room.

"What happened?" Emily said, immediately jumping up from her seat to the weeping brunette.

"We flamed," Elsie replied sadly. Flamed was their code of saying, "We accidentally bumped into Mikan's old companions." They say companions cause Mikan doesn't think of them as friends anymore plus it fits the fact that it includes her ex boyfriend and her step sister.

Peter and Lucas moved away from their motorcycle race game and quickly moved towards Mikan, "Who?" Peter asked.

"N-Natsume." Elsie slowly said, "We were taking a walk when he came up to us, we thought it was an AAO spy so we trapped him. But then Mikan realized who it was and started to tear up so I teleported us back here." She gave them a quick summary and watched as Peter gave Mikan a hug. She backed away from them and ushered Lucas and Emily out of the room.

Elsie knew that Peter had feelings for Mikan for a long time. At the beginning, it only looked like he was playing around like he usually does with all the girls, but he gradually stopped playing around and focused his attention onto Mikan.

But being the dense Mikan, she didn't know that she had a fan club and people were courting her, and if people with any intentions like that go near Mikan, Peter would use his Imagination Alice, an Alice where you imagine anything you want and it'll come out, make a gun and threaten people.

Elsie led Lucas and Emily down the hall and into their living room then sat them down on the U shaped couch. "Whoa," Lucas started. "I didn't think we would get flamed so fast."

"Neither did I," Elsie sighed, running her fingers through her hair. "Truth be told, I actually didn't want to bring Mikan back to Japan. Even though it's been five years, she's still healing from her past scars and since we've been Marked, it makes things even more difficult."

They heard a faint ding sound but shrugged it off.

"I still can't believe you guys got Marked though," Emily said. "We were suppose to stay out of their way and vice versa, who would've thought that they would take back their words."

"I would," Elsie said. "It would have been better if she just dragged me with her, why did she have to take Mikan too? She's been through too much already, that crazy Queen just had to add to her burden."

Lucas and Emily looked at her in horror, "Don't talk like that Elsie!" Lucas exclaimed, "Who knows what else they would've done to you if Mikan wasn't there! They wouldn't have just Marked you, they would have turned you into a full fledge!"

"Besides," Emily hugged Elsie. "You took the harder half, if Mikan finds out she'd kill you."

"But she's not gonna find out," Elsie said with confidence. "Not unless one of you guys tell her, which is not gonna happen unless you guys have a death wish."

Lucas snorted and Emily rolled her eyes at her, "Yeah, yeah whatever, Your Majesty." Emily stood up and bowed dramatically, "Please let me do your hair and make up."

It was Lucas's turn to roll his eyes, "I swear thats the only thing that's goes on your mind besides food."

Elsie laughed, "Yes, Emily you can do my hair and make up. Spiderman, go climb a wall or something."

Lucas scoffed, "Yeah, sure." Then he laid his head on Elsie's lap, closed his eyes and said, "Wake me up when Peter starts harassing Mikan."

Elsie giggled as Emily started tugging her hair gently this way and that, "Ok, ok, go to sleep spiderman." Barely a minute passed when they heard a CRASH

Lucas opened his eyes and said, "That was fast, I think he just made a new record- owwie!"

Elsie had closed her eyes and jabbed her elbows into Lucas's face as Emily continued to do her hair. "Shh, I'm sleeping."

"They have the Life later," Emily whispered through a mouthful of bobby pins, where she got them from no one knows. "She's trying to pull in an extra few minutes before Mikan and Peter wakes her up and pulls her into the fight."

"I get that," Lucas mumbled into Elsie's elbows. "But why is she not taking her elbows from my sexy face?"

Emily pulled a hair curler out of thin air and started curling the loose ends of Elsie's hair. "It's cause she's sleeping, genius."

"You know," Lucas grumbled. "You're starting to sound like Elsie and Mikan."

"Thanks!" Emily exclaimed happily.

"That wasn't a compliment, sunshine." Elsie yawned and stretched her arms out. Lucas quickly jumped up with a swollen cheek and a lump on his forehead shouting, "FREEDOM!"

Then they heard footsteps running down the hall, "COME BACK HERE YOU MEATBALL HEAD!" Mikan shouted.

They heard Peter laugh and shout back, "I DON'T HAVE A DEATH WISH, PRINCESS!"

"Smart," Elsie said yawning again. "But stupid. No one calls her that except for the court, he gonna die anyways."

CRASH

Elsie sighed, "I hope that wasn't the window, I don't want to fix it again."

Then they heard a tearing sound.

Elsie's eyes went huge, Emily smacked her head as Elsie gave a menacing aura, "Oh no they didn't, not the Winter Ball dresses." They heard another tearing sound and WHOOSH.

Elsie was out the door faster than you could say Dear Lord, Emily and Lucas looked at each other and ran out after her. Elsie may not seem like it but she loves to design clothes, she loves making them too, every single design she makes has no other that looks the same so if one of her designs gets, oh I don't know, ripped? Then the person -or people-responsible may not live to see tomorrow.

Peter and Mikan had gone into Elsie's office wreaking everything, but by the time Lucas and Emily got there, Elsie had them sit in those leg numbing kneels with their backs facing them while her back was facing Mikan and Peter cleaning the mess and gave a threatening aura that said, "Come-Near-Me-You-Die."

Peter tried to crawl to the door but a kitchen knife came out of no where and slammed an inch away from his hand. "Peter dear," Elsie turned towards Peter and said in an overly sweet voice, smiling with mad eyes. "Where do you think your going?"

Peter spotted Lucas and Emily, "Save us." He mouthed desperately but Elsie dragged him back to where Mikan was seated and they shook their heads in pity, slowly backed out of the room and closed the door behind them, then heard shouting, a scream, a yelp and a big CRASH. There were low murmurs but then it was silent.

Elsie came out of the room and closed the doors behind her. "So," she smiled. "What's new?"

They sweat dropped; this was one of the reminders in their everyday life that said, "Never Mess With Elsie."


This part is after Elsie, Lucas, and Emily left the games room

Mikan sobbed, burying her face in Peter's chest while Peter rubbed her back softly with his chin on her head and cooed, "Shh, its ok. Don't worry, I'm here now, shh, calm down."

"I-I-I did-didn't ex-expect t-to see him t-this ea-early," Mikan choked out between sobs. "If I knew, I-I would-would've been more-more prepared."

"Shh," Peter hushed. "No ones blaming you baby."

"Don't-don't ca-call me bay-baby," Mikan pinched his back, Peter jumped back and laughed. "Coward," Mikan mumbled and wiped her tears away, she looked around and asked, "Where are the others?"

Peter ignored her question and suddenly had his serious face on. "Are you ok?"

Mikan nods, "I'm fine."

"Sure?"

"Positive."

"Cookies?"

"Absolutel- what?" Mikan looked at Peter as if he'd grown an extra head.

"Damn it, almost got you to get me some of Elsie's cookies," Peter looked away."

An angry mark appeared at her head, she turned towards the How Strong Are You game (A/N sorry! I dunno what's the game called so I made up the name). She grabbed the huge heavy hammer, lifted it high above her head then slammed it hard onto the weight thingy.

The little iron rectangle flew up and made a loud DING as it hit the bell at the top then it slowly went back to its original position. Peter cringed and slowly backed away, "Umm... I was kidding?"

Mikan rolled her eyes, "Sure you were, and I was just testing my strength." She retorted sarcastically.

"Come on Princess," Peter laughed. "I was just joking."

Mikan's bangs hid her eyes and started to emit a dark aura, "You did not just call me that."

"What?" Peter asked innocently, "Princess?"

Suddenly Mikan had ice daggers and fireballs in both her hands. She lifted her head to glare at Peter, "I'm gonna kill you!" she threw the daggers and fireballs at Peter but he created a diamond dome shield to protect himself. (A/N In case you didn't know a diamond is quite strong so it's pretty hard to break)

Peter took down the dome and made a normal sized shield to fit onto his arm, "Are you serious?" And with that, he ran out the door and into their vast hallway. Mikan zoomed out after him, hot on his heels.

Their shoes slapped onto their carpet floor, "COME BACK HERE YOU MEATBALL HEAD!" Mikan shouted angrily.

Peter laughed as another dagger sailed past his head, missing him by an inch. "I DON'T HAVE A DEATH WISH PRINCESS!"

Mikan produced some ice blades and threw them all at once at Peter's back but he turned a corner and the blades collided with a window. Peter laughed hysterically and continued running down the hall, Mikan suddenly forgot what she was angry about and laughed with him.

He ran into a room with double door and Mikan gasped, "Peter wait that's-" But it was too late, his body collided with a dress forms and ripped the skirt off a beautiful pale blue dress, Mikan tried to stop but she bumped into Peter, pushing him a little more and ripped the collar down to the waistline on another dress.

The dress form fell and bumped into a bookcase, the books fell off the shelf. Some dropped into a basket of threads and pins, tangling the books with the delicate threads and poking tiny holes into the pages. Some dropped onto the ground and some flew into a cart of beautiful fabric, making the cart tilt over and spill all its contents. Luckily, the books stayed out of range from a sewing machine keeping it from danger.

Mikan and Peter fell into a mess on the ground and seconds later they spotted a fuming Elsie at the door, "MY DRESSES!" She whipped her head towards the tangled couple and unconsciously used her voice pheromone Alice. "Kneel," she said angrily. They're body's moved against their will and kneels on the ground.

Mikan was too scared and forgot to use her nullification Alice and Peter gulped loudly and both were shaking with fear. Elsie turned around and began to clean up the mess with angry mark on her head. Lucas and Emily soon appeared at the door but their backs facing them they didn't see.

Peter slowly turned around and started to crawl towards the door but a kitchen knife appeared and slammed an inch away from his hand and he started to shake in fear.

"Peter dear," Elsie turned towards Peter and said in an overly sweet voice, smiling with mad eyes. "Where do you think your going?"

Peter spotted Lucas and Emily, "Save us." He mouthed desperately but Elsie dragged him back to where Mikan was seated and they shook their heads in pity, slowly backed out of the room and closed the door behind them.

Elsie turned towards the wreckers, "HOW DARE YOU COME INTO MY OFFICE AND TRASH EVERYTHING? AND THE DRESSES! THE WINTER BALL DRESSES! DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW LONG IT TOOK ME JUST TO MAKE THEIR DRESSES?"

She leaned against her desk and pinched the bridge of her nose with one hand, secretly taking out a bottle of medications out of one of the drawers.

Mikan and Peter on the other hand was busying thinking up a plan to escape, they gave a final nod to each other and started to move. Before Elsie could open her bottle of medication, Mikan and Peter jumped away from each other and ran in opposite directions of the room.

Elsie reacted fast and activated her Elemental Alice, a thornless vine came out of her hand and whipped it towards Mikan. Mikan created an iron shield but the vine went under the shield and wrapped around Mikan's ankle, lifting her up in the air, Mikan dropped the shield and screamed, she struggled against the vine that started to twist around her body.

Elsie whipped her head towards Peter and froze water onto the floor, making Peter to slip and yelp as his butt painfully collided with the ground. Another vine came out of her hand and wrapped it around Peter as she dragged him under an upside down Mikan. She dropped Mikan and she fell onto Peter with a crash and an ow.

In that small time, Elsie quickly opened the bottle of medication and popped in two tablets into her mouth and threw it back into her table.

The two bruised teens groaned as the vines slipped off their bodies and disappeared, they looked at their torturer as she squatted in front of them. "I want the mess gone and everything cleaned by the time I get back." Elsie murmured, "Don't touch the dresses and don't go into my desk, are we clear?"

They nodded. Elsie took a deep breath and stood up, she activated her Healing Alice she copied from a Alice Academy student and the bruises and cuts on their bodies disappeared.

She took another deep breath and walked towards the door. She lifted her hand to the door knob and paused for a second, "I don't have much time left." She said it in such a low voice that they couldn't hear what she said.

"What did you say Elsie?" Mikan asked.

Elsie shook her head, "Its nothing." She opened the door and closed it behind her. Peter and Mikan looked at each other then the large room.

Mikan sighed, "Well," she rolled up her sleeves. "Might as well get to work."

So... Yeah, Elsie plays quite a big role in Mikan's life. Emily may seems kinda stupid in a way but her past is quite something. Lucas... he's... like...Elsie's dog? In a way... He also has a bad past and an...interesting family. Peter is just avoiding anything that has anything to do with his family.
