Recap…
"Narumi-sensei, do you know when we're going to have the fieldtrip?" Mikan went up to the front to ask Narumi personally.
"I'm not sure Mikan-chan, but from what we've agreed, it'll probably be on the second of July, which is next week. I don't know where though" he smiled at Mikan.

……………….……………….……………….
Almost nobody went out of their classrooms during recess time (Students were still shocked so they stayed in their classrooms) and by lunch break, all the students in Gakuen Alice were very happy. You could say that the food halls for the different school departments were, for the very first time, EMPTY because the students were all around the school, spreading the news as if nobody told their friends. Because of so much happiness, everyone ate everywhere. The girls (Mikan, Hotaru, Anna, Nonoko, Sumire and Jaylee, the girl who joined their class on their first day of middle school) were all eating their lunch below the shade of Natsume and Mikan's favourite cherry blossom tree.
The boys (Natsume, Ruka, Koko, Mochu, and Youichi) soon joined them.
"Nye Natkume-kun, Bot Ju ju vink abut te furtip?" Mikan asked Natsume while chewing down lots of food as he sat down beside her with his own lunch and Youichi.
"Eeww… Don't talk while your mouth is full baka" Youichi said.
"Yo-chan! Who are you calling 'baka'? " Mikan yelled at Youichi after swallowing lots of food. Her eyes became diamond shaped and yellow and her lips turned into an angry scowl when she heard the last word.
"Who else but you… polka" Natsume said and took another bite of sushi.
"Who asked you, pervert?"
"Shut up idiot"
Before Mikan can shot back another pathetic insult at Natsume, the group started chanting: "Natsume and Mikan… sitting on a tree… k-i-s-s-i-n-g" Mikan looked away from Natsume and blushed. Natsume just shrugged and continued eating.
Everyone talked about their suggestions for the field trip through out lunch.
During their first class (Math) after lunch, Mr. Jinno gave them leaflets about Do's and Don'ts for the fieldtrip. Nobody dared to read them and listened as attentively as possible to the strict teacher.
"As everyone in school knows, we are trying our best to plan different educational and should I say… "Fun" trips for everyone. All school levels and years will have different trips. Vehicles that are going to be used for the trip are currently in the making. Windows will not be see-through but you could do whatever you want inside as long as the teachers supervising you approves of it. That is all. We will add additional rules after we have fully decided and discussed about this matter. A scheduled meeting about the trip is on in 5 minutes and all head teachers and class advisers would be called through the intercom. Remember, if there are any mischiefs or troubles caused here while we are settling everything for the trip will cause its cancellation. I'll leave this class as a free period. Do as you like but don't leave this room. Tobita, I expect you to watch this class" With that, Mr. Jinno left the room.
Everyone examined the leaflets Jinno gave them. It looked all girly and cute. Some guys didn't bother reading them. They all have the same thought: "NARUMI". The leaflet was pink with a red ribbon stapled at the middle top hand corner. The letters were written in a darker shade of pink and it was cursive. It looked more like a debut invitation than a leaflet. It even had a sweet fragrance on it.
TEN…TUN… TEN…TUN… TEN… TUN…
'Could all class advisers and year heads please come down to your assigned rooms in every division to allow a meeting for the planned fieldtrips. Elementary class advisers are assigned to room ELE-27, Middle School year heads are assigned to room MID-15 and High School year heads are assigned to room HIGH-14. That's ELE-27 for Elementary, MID-15 Middle School and HIGH-14 for High School. ELE-27, MID-25 and HIGH 14… Thank you'
That was the announcement Jinno was talking about.
"Uhm... Okay… Everyone, let's read it together so that we can share our opinions about rules. I only saw the last part: 'P.S. Suggestions are welcomed'" Yuu came up in the front with his own leaflet and searched for a chalk. His girlfriend, Nonoko, accompanied him. Yuu and Nonoko have been lovers for 3 months now. Yuu, best known as Iinchou, has always been their class chairman. Yuu was more respected now. He was no longer the scared 4 eyed guy from before. His hair was almost the same as Narumi's, his voice became more masculine and he wears blue contacts which Nonoko thought as sexy and at the same time, cute. Nonoko on the other hand, didn't change much but she was the class secretary and she loved assisting Yuu.
Yuu examined the paper first. He sweat dropped when he saw the opening line below the title. He cleared his throat.
"2008 Field Trip Rules and Regulations for middle schoolers"Yuu started…
"Good day my lovely angels! The faculty decided to give you guys an opportunity to go out. We haven't decided where to go yet but upcoming plans suggested by your year heads and class teachers are being used to provide you happiness on the said school out. The rules are…" Yuu stopped. "Let's read the rules together everyone. Any comments, suggestions or obligation can be made in the end. Please raise your hand if you have any of those three ready later."
The class started to read:
"1) Never go anywhere alone. Always have a companion with you.
2) We are planning in sending you out of school for a week. Food and other essential items can be bought on nearby stores around whatever place we send you in.
3) Three teachers will be with you along with your Year Head. Since you're all teenagers, we understand that you're in the stage of wanting freedom. To show you our respect, we will leave you alone and do as you wish. But please stay aware that the world's population is growing. Go slow on the moves my sweet pets. The teachers and your year heads will be there to sell you foods and essential items plus, to protect you if any intruder should interfere in your trip.
4) For security, something must be worn at all times. This 'something' will be revealed on the day of your departure.
5) We know you'll be all suggesting different places for your trips. But the exception is that you can't be in crowded places. There should be a minimum of 30 normal people there.
Last and not the least…
5) All of you must be wondering who you'll be staying with. You will be staying with and will be at all times with your assigned partners. This rule may change to 'whoever you want to be with' after all decisions are done
Thank you my dears.
I hope that you have understood all of the rules above and loved my oh-so-beautiful leaflet!
Adieu!
Mwah!
-The beautiful Narumi" Everybody giggled and sweat dropped at the last part. They wanted to show their appreciation for the staffs for letting them have 'freedom' by not teasing Narumi.
"Any questions, suggestion and/or obligations everyone?" Yuu asked them
Sumire raised her hand. "Hai? Shouda-san?" Sumire stood up with her arms folded on her chest.
"Why not tell Sensei to really replace the one we're going to be with to whoever we want to be with. It'll work better that way so that I can be with Na… I mean… So that we could have sleepovers with each other. Ho ho ho!" Sumire just pretended to smile as she realized that Natsume's taken already. She doesn't hate Natsume and Mikan for that but she can't get the 'with Natsume-kun' part out of her vocabulary. Same goes with the 'with Ruka-kun' part. 'Mikan-chan and Imai-san are so lucky…' Sumire thought as she smiled.
Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that Mikan and Natsume are in a relationship for 2 years now. Mikan said 'sure' immediately and was very happy when Natsume finally had the courage to show and tell her his feelings.
"Good idea Shouda-san. I agree with that… I don't think anybody has any problems with that. Does anyone else have some suggestions?"
Nobody else raised their hands.
"Okay guys. So we just have to tell Narumi-sensei about the 6th rule. Maybe we should suggest a place we can go to!"
Everybody shouted "YES!"
Several hands were seen on the air and the class was roaring.
"What do you think Anna?" Yuu faced at Anna. Everybody was quiet.
"Hmm… Eto… I know! How about Tokyo Disneyland!?" Anna said with her eyes twinkling.
Several murmurs like 'good idea'; 'I've never been there before'; 'Ehh? I'm scared of mascots'; 'I don't like amusement parks' and 'it'll be fun and educational. We can learn about simple machines!' were spread across the room.
But the murmurs died when Koko said "Anna-chan, I don't think that'll be a good idea. Remember the 5th rule? We can't be in crowded places. I've never been there but it's a big attraction park from what I heard. Very famous in fact. I bet some people are on tour there."
Anna and the other students gave out whines. Koko was right. Only a few hands were left on the air.
"Hai, Mikan-chan?" Yuu pointed at Mikan since she was waving at him like crazy.
Mikan stood up and smiled.
"A beach! Even though summer's already over, maybe we could just… ano… celebrate it again? And since it's over, less people will be on beaches with school and all."
The hands went down as they were also thinking what Mikan said.
"Mikan-chan's right! I agree with Mikan, Iinchou" Anna smiled.
"My mother wrote in one her mails that my uncle opened up a new beach resort last week. We could go there for free and since it's new, I bet nobody's even there yet!" Jaylee squeezed while her face was plastered with an 'XD' expression. (A/N if you don't get it, the X is the eyes and the D is the mouth. It shows great excitement. Yay! My first sentence!)
Yuu wrote the word 'beach' on the board after Nonoko gave him the chalk. Nonoko got her notebook and waited for Yuu to write more things.
Nonoko leaned closer to Yuu's ear and whispered, "Yuu-kun, Ask them to tell you some games/activities we're going to have so that I could give it to Narumi-sensei later." Yuu blushed when he felt Nonoko's sizzling hot breath on his ear.
"YEEEEEE… YUUNOKO… YUUNOKO… Yuu and Nonoko sitting in a tree, k-i-s-s-i-n-g" the class teased. They were very fond of the k-i-s-s-i-n-g chant. Yuunoko meant Yuu and Nonoko.
Yuu and Nonoko blushed and looked away from each other. Yuu finally poised himself and said "Okay guys, that's enough. Tease us later. We should start thinking about the trip" Yuu smiled and Nonoko blushed more.
