And of course, thanks to the awesome people who added to their favorites' list, alerts or are following this story! I'm soooo happy!:)

IMPORTANT, PLEASE READ:

Okay so Mikan, Natsume and the rest have Alices, but they aren't in the Academy! Why? Because this fic is supposed to take place on a Saturday noon and it's supposed to end on Sunday night, and as they are High School students, they can go back to their homes with their families just on weekends! So yeah, I just thought I'd explain that so you wouldn't get confused. Thanks to Vegie-1526 for asking me, 'cause if she didn't ask me I wouldn't have noticed!

So let's get on with the story, shall we?

Disclaimer: I don't own Gakuen Alice, because if I did, I assure you the anime would be as long as the manga!


Call me maybe

"WHAT?!" a surprised Mikan screamed. The rest of the people in the room didn't move an inch or showed any emotions. Mikan pouted and ran to Hotaru, tackling her with a bear hug.

"Hotaruuuuuuuuuu! I don't want him-" she said, pointing at Natsume, "-to be in our band!" she said, loudly enough for everyone to hear. Said girl just stared blankly back at Mikan as she took out her baka-gun and started to polish it. The brunette stuck her tongue out to her best friend and ran to Ruka.

"Ruka-pyon, does he have to join our band?" she whined clinging to the blonde's arm. Natsume growled and looked away while Ruka just smiled at her.

"Yes, now that Koko is studying in Paris we can't stay with a missing member. Thus, Natsume is pretty good…"

"But I am the leader!" Mikan whined, "I have to choose the potential members!" Hotaru hissed and took out her baka-gun, and then started to swing it from side to side. Mikan eyed her and looked away to continue complaining as if nothing had happened. Hotaru was ready to shot the brunette when Ruka raised his arm in front of Mikan and shook his head. The raven-haired girl sighed and put her gun away with a scowl on her beautiful face. Then, the blond boy turned to Mikan.

"Sorry Mikan," Ruka said before flashing his best smile. Mikan glared at him.

"Ruka, I won't fall for that again," she stated with an equally charming smile. Ruka laughed nervously, and apologized again, this time truly sorry. After Mikan accepted his apology, she cleared her throat and looked around once again.

"So, all of you agree on letting Natsume into the band?" she asked. The three band members nodded and she sighed loudly while turning to face Natsume. "Well, then I have no choice but to-"

Natsume interrupted her, "No."

Mikan flinched. "What did you say?"

"I won't join your band," Natsume clarified.

"What?!" Mikan asked incredulously. Natsume just smirked in response and shrugged "You heard me, little girl," he said over his shoulder before walking out of the room with his hands shoved in the pockets of his black, skinny jeans. Mikan was right about to scream when Ruka stopped her.

"You should apologize, Mikan," the animal-lover boy stated. Youchi nodded curtly in agreement. "After all, you are the leader, aren't you?" Hotaru asked without any interest. The brunette puffed her cheeks and was about to protest once again, when Hotaru took out her baka-gun and started to polish it. She sighed deeply "Fine," she said before walking out of Natsume's room.

.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.

Mikan had been wandering through the mansion's empty hallways until she somehow managed to find Natsume in a big balcony, from which a beautiful view could be seen; the leaves of the Sakura trees softly flying through the air,

Right now, she was standing right behind the fire manipulator, who has his back facing her, so he hadn't seen her yet (or that's what Mikan thought), so she decided it was her chance and decided to tackle Natsume from behind.

However, Natsume, who suspected what her intentions were, turned around so he was now facing Mikan. As Natsume had decided to turn at the last second, Mikan didn't have any time to retreat and she collided with him.

Mikan expected to hit the ground, but the pain never came. Instead, she felt something warm, flat and hard under her. She snorted softly to herself 'Gah, maybe I hit my head and fainted…' she thought darkly.

"Ouch! Natsume you are an idiot, you know?" she asked, thinking he wouldn't answer her as she still was under the impression that she had fainted. So, Mikan couldn't help but gasp and open her eyes when she heard the deep male voice under her.

"It isn't my fault you wanted to do something perverted to me, is it?" he asked. Mikan's eyes grew wide and was about to scream when the crimson-eyed boy gestured for her to look at something. The brunette's eyes grew even wider and her face became red as she noticed for the first time what Natsume meant.

She was on top of him, both her legs on each side of him and her arms placed to each side of his head; in other words, her arms were the only thing (unfortunately) preventing their lips from touching. Mikan gasped and clumsily crawled as far from Natsume as she could, totally forgetting the fact that she was wearing a skirt.

"Nastume, you really are a pervert!" she screamed at the top of her lungs, "I- I just came to tell you can join our band if you want to!" she stated looking away from him. Natsume smirked.

"Is that so?"

"Of course."

"Hm? And why should I join your band, polka-dots?"

"Well, that's pretty obvious, don't you think? Besides, I know how much you'd love to be in our band, so you can stop pret- wait, polka-dots?" Mikan asked him, confused.

'Polka-dots? Where did he get that f-? Oh, that pervert!' Mikan thought as she balled her hands into fists, "NATSUME!" she screamed so loud, everyone in the neighborhood could her ear-splitting scream.

Natsume smirked but quickly put back on his expressionless mask and headed for the door. As he walked past Mikan (who was still on the floor) he spoke without bothering to stop "Okay then, polka-dots. I'll join your band."

Then, he exited the balcony and Mikan smiled "Natsume, he actually cares for others, doesn't he?" she asked out loud to no one in particular before dashing into the mansion.

.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.

Natsume, had stopped right behind the wall just in time to listen to Mikan's question. He snorted and ran a hand through his silky, raven hair. 'Stupid polka-dots. I'm just doing this for Ruka's sake, right?'

.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.

Mikan's band had been practicing for the last two and a half hours, so it was now nine o'clock. They were all in Natsume's living room, eating some pizza Kaoru had ordered for them. Next day was a Sunday, and after that they were all going back to the Academy, so they had decided to meet up at the movie theater to watch a movie next day. Ruka had also decided to invite some of their classmates who Natsume also knew, like Sumire, Koko, Yuu, Kitsuneme, Nonoko, Anna and Nobara.

They were naming other people they could also invite, when Mikan excused herself and went to the bathroom. Ruka had gone to attend a call from his mother, so just Hotaru, Natsume and Youchi were left in the room. They were trying to decide who to invite when Youchi spoke.

"What about Tsubasa-nii?" he asked. Hotaru shrugged and Natsume uttered his usual "Hn", so Hotaru took her phone and sent the shadow-manipulator a text. A few seconds later, her phone rang and she read his answer quietly.

"He asked me if he can bring his girlfriend over," she said. Both boys looked at her with a 'Whatever' expression and she took that as a 'yes'.

.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.

Minutes later, Mikan and Ruka came back, the first one happily talking while the latter had a distant look on his face. Mikan had obviously noticed he was troubled, but she couldn't really figure out why, so she had decided to wait for him to tell her.

The atmosphere was really tense, so Mikan had decided to try to lighten things up a bit by doing what she would have done two years ago.

"Why don't we watch a horror movie?"

.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.

The five teenagers were still in the living room watching Paranormal Activity 2. Most of them weren't really showing any emotion; Mikan was truly scared. She had tried to hug Hotaru, but said girl had threatened to shot her with her baka-gun, so she had retreated. Youchi was also out of the list; it was obvious he would bully her, and Ruka had a blank expression on his face. Yes, his eyes were glued to the TV screen, but he was still deep in thought. So Mikan's only option was Natsume.

Mikan's pride was very important to her, but she was truly scared, so she moved closer to the fire maker boy.

"Natsume?" she asked with puppy dog eyes.

Natsume looked down at her and for a second, Mikan would have sworn she saw his eyes soften and a slight red tint appear on his cheeks. "Hn."

"Can I come closer to you?" she asked, fiddling with her fingers. "I'm a bit scared," she admitted while blushing a bit. Natsume smiled for a split second before shaking his head and answering with a "Whatever,"

Mikan sighed in relief and sat closer to him, hugging her knees.

The time slowly passed, and Mikan didn't feel as scared as before. In fact, she felt more peaceful than she had ever done in her whole life. It was as if Natsume's warmth reached her heart and made her feel better; safe. It was such a pleasant feeling, Mikan decided to close her eyes for a second. But she was so calmed and so happy there, next to Natsume she felt asleep.

.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.

Mikan stretched lazily in her soft, silky bed, a thin line of light from between the curtains enlightening the whole bedroom. She happily laid down in her bed, clutching the silk-like sheets.

'Wait, since when do I have silk sheets on my bed…?'

Mikan's eyes shot open and she jumped out of the bet, slipping on the silk sheets in the process and finally falling into the ground, her legs landing above something soft. Mikan, deciding it was a pillow, stood up and started to panic.

"Where am I?" she asked, looking around her, as if she expected someone to answer to her question. She reached for the golden heart-shaped charm she wore around her neck, the one her mom and dad had given her when she was born. She also noticed she wasn't wearing her clothes, but a pajama tank top and a pair of pajama shorts. "What happened? Where am I? Why am I here?!" she screamed in frustration, pulling her hair.

Mikan tried to run and look for an exit, and just when she was about to do so, a hand gripped tightly her ankle, causing her to loose balance and fall in someone's lap.

Mikan was really scared now, and she was about to scream when something caught her attention. The smell coming from the person next to her. It was his scent.

"Ruka?"


KYYAAAAAAAAAAAAA! Cliffy once again! Why did Ruka kidnap Mikan? But wait! Is it even Ruka?

Did you like it? I'm truly sorry for the delay, but I had an awful case of writer's block :c which is definitely the worst ever. How was it? I tried to make it longer… I think it's annoying if I wrote more than three chapters per day in the story, so I decided to end Mikan's Saturday in this chappie! I also would like to apologize for the OOC-iness some the chapters would have...
