Author's Note: Your reviews, oh my gosh! I was literally smiling like an idiot reading your reviews! It really made my day. THANK YOU! :) A lot of you are wondering who caused that change, the potion or the girl. Well, I haven't planned yet actually who or what caused it. Just stay tuned for more updates!

Seeing someone cry really makes my heart all cold and numb, especially if the one crying is the girl you love. Sure, she always cry when I tease her by calling her names or when she doesn't get anything right, but those cries doesn't usually mean anything to me, but this, this is different. She raises her head to look at me, and laughed quietly. It's soft and just like the laugh of an angel, which she probably is to me. I smile back.
"Idiot, of course we'll help you," Imai says. I would've said the same thing, just erase the 'idiot' part.
"Thank you," Mikan says in between sobs. I, being a gentleman I am for the day, wiped the tears on her cheeks then pats her back, as if saying that everything would be alright. She seems to get it because she nods at me. Hey, new Mikan is not that bad after all. The new Mikan could show emotions and well, say thank you and – I'm quiet impressed to say this – smarter. But, old Mikan was way, way, way better than this. I enjoy her loud but cheerful voice greeting me every morning and her lovely smile she always flashes at me whenever she sees me. I would love to see that smile and hear that voice again even though it may be irritating, but hey, that's what I actually love about her. Love… I guess I can say whatever I want in my mind. Yeah, I do love polka.
I'm still holding polka's shoulders as if steadying her, and just out of the blue, I wrap my arms around her. Yes, I am hugging Mikan, and I can feel my cheeks burning, I wish Imai won't be able to see it so, duh, she can't blackmail me… I shouldn't have thought about that! After I thought about that, she looked at me hugging polka then she brought out her camera and snatched pictures of us. Can she read minds now? Crap! Oh well, I really don't care, but I bet Mikan does, I mean, the old Mikan. Hell, she'll blush like a ripe tomato and beg Imai to stop whatever Imai would actually do. I, on the other hand, don't care and I would usually enjoy Mikan getting irritated and cry cutely.
"That should get me a million rabbits. They rarely see Hyuuga blush this much," Imai say, probably talking to herself. Mikan laughed, loudly. Hearing her laugh that loud again made me miss the old her. I promise her this; I will bring the old Mikan back. No matter what happens, I will. I guess this makes me a prince charming, eh?
Mikan seemed to blush as she stepped back from the hug. I smirked and whispered to her ear, "I love you". I don't why I said it, but I guess I should stop hiding what I truly feel towards polka. It'll only hurt me when she doesn't know and find a guy that would tell her those three simple yet heart stopping words. I didn't look at what her reaction might've been, as soon as I said it, I left the room. As I closed the door, I sighed loudly and leaned back. I used to be the guy that doesn't care what people think about me or what they comment on my speeches. Yes, used is correct. I guess I'm not that guy anymore. Now, I'm dreading to know what Mikan would say about what I just said, or how she felt when I said it. Shit, she is making me crazy! I don't know if that is a positive or a negative thing.
I go back to my dormitory, thinking about ways to retrieve the old Mikan. I removed my shirt, being topless makes me feel all macho and manly, which I really am. I walk around my room, thinking how I could possibly solve this mysterious puzzle.
I hear the door open slowly, as if hoping that no one would hear the door creak, well, that person would definitely curse seeing that I am in my own room. I smirked.
Being a gentleman, I opened the door quickly wanting to see who the hell has the guts to open my dorm without knocking first.
She gasped. The girl who tried to open my door hoping no sound is made, turns out to be the new girl of Gakuen Alice; Miki Tanaka.

Sorry for the long update! I was busy and I had no idea what I would write in this chapter. But, the wait is done, chapter four is done!
