From chapter 2:

Mikan's POV

'Even though Hotaru says it will all be alright, I'm still nervous.'

Knock…Knock…

'I heard her knock and the door swung open. It must be one of his highness's magic. Well, here we go"

End of POV

Chapter 3: The Secret

Mikan and Hotaru went in the white room while two of three people are bored and irritated in a room painted in a stupid pinkish orange color… (As they put it)

Natsume's POV

' butler. Stupid room...' I thought, quite irritated.

'Darn room... What's with the PINKISH ORANGE color!' thinking, now showing a bit of irritation. (Author's say: Duh! Natsume, it's the PinK-orange room!)

End of POV

Flashback:

After the two princesses went out of the hall, a butler came in.

"Your highnesses, your parents would like to speak with you. Please come with me when you're ready." He said.

(Let's just say their done eating)

"Your majesty, please come with me now" the butler said.

'Hn. Nobody orders me around' Natsume thought.

'What the heck? Might as well go on. Tcht.'

The three princes all went to the butler. The butler placed his right hand on the floor, thought of their destination and muttered ''transporto''. POOF, they were all gone. (Author: Koko-crunch, heheh!)

They were transported in another room... The ORANGE-PINK room. It has a fireplace and in front of that were two couches and a center table. The curtains were somehow of a purple color only darker but still vivid. It was indeed a beautiful room and the ceiling tied it all together.

Have you ever watched Harry Potter before?? Yup! The designer of this very castle cast the same magic on this ceiling as that of Hogwarts'. Only, it has different scenery. It was like twilight and with the orange-pink wallpaper and purple curtains, it was like they're in paradise.

"Please stay here, your majesty. I'll get your parents" The butler replied. After that, he vanished in clouds of smokes.

End of Flashback

And so, that's the reason why they are sitting on the couch waiting for ten whole minutes.

In the white room......

Mikan was very nervous since the kings and queens were looking very serious. Hotaru in the other hand is still as emotionless as always.

Hotaru was about to say something when the butler suddenly appear in the room in clouds of smoke.

"Your highness, King Hyuuga, they are waiting for you."

"Alright. Yukihira, take care of things here. Takahashi lets go" King Hiro Hyuuga said.

King Izumi Yukihira Sakura nodded. King Takahashi Nogi stood up and he, together with King Hiro Hyuuga, stood close to the butler.

King Hyuuga opened his palm and a bright flame appeared. As the flame diminishes, so is their body. Their body is constantly becoming transparent. After 30 seconds, the flame disappear and so are King Hyuuga, King Nogi, and the butler. Then they reappear in the ORANGE-PINK room.

(Author: It's quite a handful to say the real name of each king, and queen so I won't type their real names. Also, in this conversation, only King Sakura is talking so please forgive me if I don't put ''king sakura said'')

Back to the Mikan and Hotaru...

''Your majesty, why did you call us here?'' Hotaru asked.

''We want to inform you that Mikan will only enter this school in disguise.''

''But why father???'' Mikan ask.

''Spies from the enemy might be in Gakuen Alice and I want you to be safe. Shi Hikari and Shi Hiroki, come.'' King Sakura said.

Two people suddenly emerge from the shadows. They were twins, one was a girl and the other was a boy. They were about twenty years old.

The girl, whose name was Shi Hikari, has long blonde hair that reaches to her hips. It was tied up with a small ponytail. Her eyes were a shade of dark blue. Her lips were somewhat pink in color. She was wearing her long sleeved fitted top (color black) inside a vest (color red) in which both go just above her bellybutton. The vest had the Shi clan's emblem in the left portion. She had tight fitting jeans in which the right portion was that of a mini shorts and the right portion goes just below her knees. She was wearing fashionable ninja shoes. She had a bracelet on her right hand and the Shi clan's mark on the back of her left hand which she has from birth.

The boy, whose name was Shi Hiroki, also has blonde hair; only it was messy. His eyes are also dark blue in color. He was wearing a long dark blue sleeveless button-up shirt (upper buttons aren't closed), and was top off by a sky blue unbuttoned vest with an embroidery of the Shi clan's emblem at the left side, just like his sister. He was wearing jeans in which the left portion goes just above his knees. His shoes were that of a ninja's. He also has fingerless gloves on his right hand. His left hand also has the Shi clan's mark on the back.

Hikari and Hiroki bowed down.

''Nice to meet you, your highness'' they both said.

Mikan and Hotaru just nod and look back to King Sakura, motioning him to continue.

''Mikan, they will be your personal bodyguard. Now, about your disguise.''

King Sakura raised his right hand and a necklace appeared. It has a black stone-like diamond for a pendant. He gave it to Mikan and as soon as it attaches to her neck, it glows. It turned into Mikan's color, a pure white diamond-like gem.

''Sugoi! Its beautiful, otou-san... But, isn't this a....'' Mikan stuttered...

''That's right. That gem is a special element stone. I modified it myself so it will match your chosen disguise and powers perfectly. It will only work once it's with you so that means that no one can use it except you.'' King Sakura finished.

''Thank you father.''

''Now, Mikan. Why don't you use the gem now so that we will all know what you'll look like in disguise. Just imagine yourself transforming.''

''Alright''

Mikan closed her eyes and started to imagine. She concentrated until she started to transform into a girl with blond hair like Ruka's which goes down the middle of her back. Her eyes, instead of chocolate brown orbs, it became tantilizing green eyes. And her lips became paler.

'' So this is what you'll look like then??''

''Yes father''

''To transform back, just imagine yourself transforming again. Oh, and even if you remove the necklace, you won't transform back. Also, I need you to have an alternate name for this disguise. It can be anything you choose.''

''Of course. Uhm...I know! I'm going to be known as Minako Ashura.''

''Minako...hmm... Alright... Then it shall be Minako.''

King Sakura started to write on a paper on his table. He touches it then the paper rolled all on its own and vanished. He then turned to Hotaru.

''Princess Hotaru, please promise me that you'll take care of Mikan'' King Sakura said

(AUTHOR: Nice father, huh???)

''I will your majesty.''

''Thank you. Now, the princes and the other students must never know who Minako really is, alright?''

Mikan and Hotaru nodded.

''One last thing, the princes will be going first to the school. Followed by Hotaru then Mina---'' King Sakura stop half way.

''Your majesty. What if the princes ask where Mikan go?? Wouldn't that be obvious that Minako is her??'' Hotaru asked.

''Its fine. King Hyuuga and King Nogi are telling them that Mikan won't be attending Gakuen Alice anymore. So, there's no need to worry.''

This time, Mikan spoke up.

''Father, I thought the point of all this is for us to bond and unite the kingdoms?? If I disguise myself as a commoner, then they won't even bother to talk to me.'' Mikan ask worriedly.

''Its going to be fine since you'll be with Princess Hotaru the entire time… Now then, before both of you go to Gakuen Alice, you must first go to the Animal Kingdom. Enter the Demon forest and find the Pixie Village.''

''Pixies??? Umm... pixies...in the Demon Forest???..'' Mikan stuttered...

''It might sound strange but, yes it is. The main pixie village in the Realm of Magics is in the Enchantix Forest, which is now known as the Demon Forest. I would want you to go to the Pixie Village here in the kingdom but the Pixie Village there needs your help. While both of you are there, try to find the right pixie for the both of you and take them to Gakuen Alice as well. Your partner pixies would be great comrades''

''Yes, your majesty. Mikan and I will go. Is that all??''

''Yes it is. You may leave now.''

Both Mikan and Hotaru headed for the big door. Hotaru spoke up after leaving the room.

''Mikan, you should turn back to the real you while we are here.''

''Heheh... I forgot I'm still Minako... Thanks Hotaru!!''

Minako slowly became Mikan.

''Your being an idiot, idiot.'' Hotaru said, smiling.

''I know''

OO==OO==OO==OO==OO==OO==OO==OO

Back in the Orange-Pink room....

Natsume's POV

'The butler finally came with my father and King Nogi. Tcht. Why do adults always have a serious look on their faces?'

End of POV

Ruka's POV

'My father is also here... I wonder why??'

End of POV

King Hyuuga and King Nogi looked at the three princes.

''We'll make this brief. You three will go on to Gakuen Alice this noon. Princess Hotaru will follow you shortly.''

''Uhm, your majesty, how about Princess Mikan??'' Youichi ask.

''Due to some circumstances, she will not be coming with you to the school. ''

''Why??'' Ruka ask.

''Some things came up.''

''Oh.''

''Alright. Your things have been sent to the school. Prepare for your transportation this noon. You're now dismissed.''

''Hai.''

King Nogi and King Hyuuga disappear from the room. The princes just left the room.

Youichi's POV

'With everyone ordering us around, I feel like a prisoner' I thought.

''Youichi, lets go.''

I heard Natsume-nii-san call me.

''Alright!'' I called back

End of POV

(Let's say its noon already)

Prince Natsume, Prince Ruka, and Prince Youichi are at the entrance door of the Elemental Kingdom's palace. There with them are their loving mothers.

=O=O=O=O=O=O=O=O=O=O=O=O=O=O=O=

''Youichi, please take care of yourself in Gakuen Alice. Study hard, ok??'' His mother, Megumi Hijiri said.

''Okaa-san, hai. Sayonara. Love you.'' Youichi replied.

=O=O=O=O=O=O=O=O=O=O=O=O=O=O=O=

''Ruka dear, me and your otou-san loves you very much. Sayonara. Take care of yourself, kay??''

''Yes mother. Sayonara! I love you too.''

=O=O=O=O=O=O=O=O=O=O=O=O=O=O=O=

''Natsume, please behave yourself. Act like a true prince when you're there and don't do something that will disgrace our kingdom, okay??''

'Tcht. Whatever' Natsume thought.

''Yes Mother. I will. Please don't worry. I'll act like a true prince in the best of my ability.'' Natsume told his mother.

''Good. I love you, okay.'' Natsume's mother said then she kisses his forehead.

''Hai. Sayonara.''

The three princes said their goodbyes and headed for the carriage that's waiting for them at the end of the stairs. The golden carriage has 6 coachmen for every 2 horses. So that's a dozen horses, right?? Imagine how big the carriage is to have those many horses!!

Anyway, the three-some got in the carriage and they drove off. The horses started to move and after about 9 feet away, the horses' foot started to get off the ground and they flew in the air. After awhile, they vanish and reappear outside the boundaries of the 5 kingdoms and into the heart of the Realm of Magics.

Unknown to them, two people have been watching their carriages... Preparing for their next move...
