Chapter 3: Mikan's birthday

The next day was finally here. It was Mikan Sakura's birthday!! After classes were over, she ran to her room. Everyone was arriving about an hour and 30 minutes from now. Everyone was coming at 6:30. Mikan cleaned her room, baked 5 big cakes with the baking Machine Hotaru gave her last year. The machine helped her bake all 5 cakes within 30 minutes. The cakes were chocolate, fruit, strawberry, carrot and a plain cake. Mikan then went to take a shower. After she had done that, she cleaned up her room and put up the decorations. She prepared all the other foods, and set them all on the table. It was now 6:30 and the door bell rang. Mikan went to open the door.

"Hi, friends and all!" Mikan welcomed them cheerfully.

"I'm not you friend." Sumire muttered stubbornly. "I only came to check out your room."

Mikan just smiled. She saw that there were a lot of presents in her classmates' hands, so she told them they could put their presents for her under the table.

"So, welcome, everyone! Hope you have fun." said Mikan.

Just then, she spotted Natsume and Ruka with Hotaru in the middle of all her classmates. They were near the corner of the room with her couch besides them and the door on the other side of them.

"Ah! HOTARU-CHAN!! Ruka-pyon! Natsume!" cried Mikan happily as she ran towards them with open arms. The only one she was able to hug was Ruka. Both Hotaru and Natsume dodged her. Ruka was blushing madly when Mikan hugged him.

"Anyways, let's get on with the party!"

"Yeah!" everyone roared in agreement. Well... except for Hotaru, Ruka and Natsume.

"What would everyone like to do first?" Mikan asked.

"How about EAT?! I'm STARVING!" exclaimed some of the guys.

"Sure!" laughed Mikan. As she did that, all the guys gazed at her face while blushing. Even those who hated her. Ruka noticed this and asked, "Where are the plates, Mikan-chan?"

"Oh! They're in the cupboard." Mikan replied, as she pointed to the cupboard at the far left, which was near her closet.

"I'll get them." Ruka suggested with a smile.

"No, it's okay. I'll get them. Thanks for offering, though!" Mikan smiled as she went to get the plates, cups, spoons, napkins, and forks.

Soon after, everyone began to eat happily. Well that is... all except for Natsume. Mikan noticed that. He still ate, but only alittle. As long as he ate, Mikan was happy.

"These cakes are awesome, man!" the guys complimented, as they licked their lips. "Where did you buy them?"

"Yes... where?" asked Sumire.

"I... uh... um... I baked them myself." Mikan finally managed to tell them.

"No way... Are you serious?! YOU baked these?!" asked Sumire surprised. She just couldn't believe it.

"Yes, I did! Do you have a problem!??!" asked Mikan frustrated. 'UGH!! They think so low of me!! How could they?!'

"I can't believe it... I didn't think you could even cook! Talk about baking..." said Sumire in astonishment.

"Well, I CAN!" shouted Mikan even angrier.

"Ok, ok... Guess I was wrong... Anyway, nice cakes..." mumbled Sumire.

With that, Mikan smiled with satisfaction. "By the way... thanks!"

When everyone finished eating, they decided to play truth or dare. Hotaru even had a machine ready for this game. If you lied, the circle on the mobile would change into the color of red. If you told the truth, the color would change to yellow. If you only told partial truth, the color would be orange. Of course, this was only for if you chose truth instead of dare.

"Who wants to go first?" Mikan asked.

"Me! I want to go first!" said one of the boys.

"Actually, I think I should go first." remarked Sumire.

"What?! NO! ME! Why should it be YOU?!" asked the boy.

"Cause I'm way better than you." said Sumire smugly.

"Shut up. I think Mikan should go first. It's her birthday. Not you nor you." Hotaru told them while glaring at the same time.

"Fine..." they both mumbled.

"Oh, Hotaru!" Mikan smiled happily.

Mikan decided to pick Natsume. So she asked him, "Truth or dare?"

"Dare." Natsume answered.

Mikan thought it was pointless to dare him to smile. I mean, that wouldn't be a true smile. And that's what she wanted. So she had to think up of another dare.

"Umm... Ok... let me think..." replied Mikan as she bit her bottom lips, trying to think.

After 5 minutes of thinking, she finally told him, "Oh! I know! I dare you to NEVER skip class again! And if you do, you'll have to treat me to dinner and lunch for the rest of your life!"

WHOA! That was extreme! But did Natsume care? NOPE! Not at all. In fact, this is what he said, "whatever..." And now, it was Natsume's turn! And guess what? He decided to pick Ruka!

"Ruka, truth or dare?"

"Uh... Truth... I guess..."

"Is it true you sleep with all of your pets?"

Ruka blushed and looked down at the floor. "Y-yes..."

The machine's circle glass turned into a yellow-ish color.

Now it was Ruka's turn. He picked Hotaru.

"Imai, truth or dare?"

Hotaru picked dare.

"Ok. I dare you to give back all the pictures you took of me." said Ruka demandingly as he stuck out his hand bouncing it up and down alittle.

"Fine..." Hotaru sighed as she gave back all the pictures.

'Finally...' Ruka thought relieved. Ruka tore up the pictures and asked Natsume to burn them. So he did. Only ashes were left, and down the dumps they went!

"Thanks!" Ruka thanked Natsume gratefully for burning the pictures.

And now... it was Hotaru's turn. She decided to pick Sumire. "Truth or dare, Sumire?"

"HAH! Dare of course!" Sumire smirked. 'What could she possibly make me do?' she thought.

"I dare you to lick and kiss the floor without cleaning it." Hotaru dared her.

"WHAT?! I HAVE TO DO WHAT?! YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME! Do I have to?!?!" cried Sumire in total shock.

"Yes." replied Hotaru.

"Imai-san! You're the evil-est person on Earth! You hear?! EVIL!!" exclaimed Sumire as her face went pale in horror and shock.

"Don't call Hotaru that!" shouted Mikan.

"It's ok, dummy." Hotaru told her.

"It is true, Sakura-san!" shouted Sumire.

"Just shut the hell up and do it!" said Natsume coldly.

"B-but... Natsume-kun... It's filthy..." Sumire pleaded him.

"Do it." he said again.

And so... Sumire had no choice but to do what they said. She did it with tears at the corners of her eyes threatening to come out. It was quick, but not quick enough. Hotaru was able to capture her embarrassing moment on a photograph. When Sumire had realized that, she began to cry. It was a very pitiful sight, and Mikan just couldn't bear to watch. Even so, her classmates laughed. All except herself, Ruka, Natsume, and Hotaru. Mikan thought this was kind of an unfair thing to do, but it was a dare... so... all she was able to do was comfort her.

"Aw... it's okay.. Come on, Sumire-chan, let's go to the washroom and clean you up. While you're at it, you'll be able to rinse you mouth as well..." Mikan suggested.

"Sniff... o-ok... sniff..." whispered Sumire.

" You can continue the game. We'll be right back." Mikan told her classmates.

Her classmates cheered as they continued to laugh. But they soon got back to the game. Since Sumire had to go to the bathroom, and it was her turn, they skipped her turn, but of course it was going to be her turn again when she came back.

"Are you okay now?" Mikan asked.

"Yes... Thank-you..." Sumire said quietly, still hiccuping.

Mikan smiled and said, " No problem. I'm sorry Hotaru made you do that. I still don't like it when you called her evil, though."

"Oh... about that, I'm sorry." Sumire apologized.

"It's okay now, since Hotaru didn't care and she made you do something nasty." Mikan assured her.

"Thanks." Sumire said again. " You're nicer than my friends. They weren't really friends anyway. Just some members of Natsume-kun and Ruka-kun's fan club."

"Really? I didn't know." Mikan said in surprise. "Well then... would you like to be friends?"

"Are you sure? I've done so many horrible things to you." Sumire reminded her.

"It's ok... I mean it's all in the past now, right?" Mikan asked her.

"You really don't mind?" Sumire asked with her eyes wide in surprised.

"Nope! Not at all!" Mikan said happily as she smiled.

"Well then... If you really don't mind, of course! I just can't stand to live like this any longer!!" Sumire cried as she started so sob again.

" Hee hee... no problem!" Mikan chuckled as she handed Sumire another tissue.

As soon as Sumire felt better, they finally got out of the bathroom.

"Oh... you're back..." Hotaru noted.

"Yup!" Mikan cheered with a huge smile pasted on her face.

And so... they began to continue the game.
