Thanks to RingoTart, KokoroBliss, and nyien for reviewing!
I own Gakuen Alice! NOT!
It's time for the dance!~ Woo!
Mikan's POV
In a couple hours I get to dance with everyone! It's going to be sooo much fun! Anna, Nonoko, Sumire, and Hotaru came to my 2-star room and we helped each other get ready. I was wearing the sakura dress Hotaru gave me, white sandals, and the pink rose hair clip Hotaru got me for the gift scramble. My hair was down and I wore a little makeup (courtesy of Sumire). Hotaru was wearing a purple dress with purple heels. She wore little makeup, but she still looked beautiful. Anna and Nonoko were wearing dresses that came down to their knees. Anna's dress was pink and strapless, and Nonoko's dress was blue with one strap that went over her shoulder. Nonoko's hair was in a bun, and Anna's hair was in a single braid. They were wearing high heels that matched their dresses. Sumire's dress was dark green that went down to her mid-thigh it was kinda clingy, but not extremely clingy. Her hair was in a french braid and she wore high heels and makeup. It took forever to get ready because Sumire couldn't decide between a light green dress or a dark green dress. By the time we all got ready, we had 10 minutes to get to the dance.
We hopped into Hotaru's giraffe car and made our way to the forest. As we arrived in the clearing I was speechless. All the trees were covered in blinking lights and snow. (Thankfully it didn't melt.) There were also some colored lanterns that glowed brightly. It made the snow look different colors. The lights made the snow sparkle and everything looked beautiful. There was a giant bonfire and everyone was talking, waiting for the party to officially start. There was also a buffet table, where Hotaru immediately went to. It was kind of chilly, but I didn't mind. Everything looked so pretty and breathtaking.
A couple minutes after I arrived, Narumi-Sensei came and announced the official start of the Gakuen Alice Anniversary Dance! After that, Narumi came over to me and we started to dance. Dancing with Narumi was really fun, he was being really silly and making funny jokes! When the dance was over I went over to Anna and Nonoko and we danced. Sometimes they play classical music, meant for two people, and sometimes they play fast music, so you can dance with more than one person.
All night I danced with my friends. I danced with Tsubasa-Senpai, Misaki-Senpai, Hotaru, Sumire, Koko, Yuu, Mochou, Ruka, and a ton of other people! It took forever to convince Hotaru to dance with me. All she wanted to do was eat crab and crab brains. I don't get why she likes crab brains so much, it seems gross to me. I told her that once; I got hit by her Baka Gun. After begging her to dance with me, she finally agreed. We danced and it was really fun!
The sky got darker, and the DJ started to played more slow songs. All the couples started to dance together. Hotaru and Ruka, Anna and Mochou, Yuu and Nonoko, Sumire and Koko, Tsubasa and Misaki. I felt kind left out watching all my friends and their boyfriends dance, but I also felt happy for them too. I was about to go to the buffet table, when I felt a tap on my shoulder.
Natsume's POV
I never wanted to go to the dance, but Ruka persuaded me to. Dances have never been my thing. Every dance I've been to, I've been swarmed by my fangirls. Not fun. But I still go to see one person. Mikan. She always looks beautiful. Wait, what am I thinking? Beautiful? Her? No. I only talk to her to get her irritated. That's right. That's right. It's the only reason I hang out with her. I just like to tease her. Right?
I walked up to her and tapped her shoulder
"Would you like to dance?"
Mikan's POV
"Would you like to dance?"
I turned around and was really shocked to see Natsume, and even more shocked that he wanted to dance. With me! I really wanted to dance with him, but he didn't get me a present and rules are rules.
"You didn't get me a present so I can't dance with you." I pouted, "I can only dance with the people who gave me presents, that's the rules."
He smirked, "Idiot. I did give you a gift."
I stood there stunned, what? "Oh yeah? What?"
He rolled his eyes, "I gave you the Neko-Necklace."
What? The necklace? How did he know I wanted that?
"I saw you looking at it with Ruka when we were shopping awhile back."
I blinked, How did he know what color I wanted?
"I also overheard your conversation."
I blushed, he knew that it reminded me of him.
"I can't believe you wanted something like me."
I blushed even more, It's like he's reading my mind! How does he know what I'm thinking?
"I don't, you're just really predictable."
My face, that was red from embarrassment, was now red with anger. I was about to tell him what a big jerk he was when he asked, "Well, I got you a gift. Wanna dance or not?"
Natsume's POV
She grinned and flashed me a huge smile, all her anger forgotten.
"Sure! I'd love to!"
She grabbed my hand and dragged me to the dance floor. She turned around and looked at me, obviously not knowing what to do. I sighed, grabbed her arms, and pulled her in. She blushed as I put my arms around her waist. I positioned her arms around my shoulders and we began to sway to the music. I knew it surprised her that I pulled her in so forcefully. The shock was evident on her face. She was like an open book, waiting for someone like me to discover all her secrets.
We danced in silence for awhile. "So... Natsume."
I raised my eyebrows, "Yes?"
She looked uncomfortable, "Why did you give me that necklace?"
I rolled my eyes, "Because you wanted it."
She shook her head, "That's not what I mean! Usually you're mean to me! Why did you suddenly do something nice?"
Crap she's right! I'm never nice to her!
"Well... to tell you the truth, I-" wanted to see the look on your face when you realized I gave it to you. I felt a tap on my shoulder and turned around.
"Excuse me, may I have this dance?"
Mikan's POV
"...to tell you the truth, I-"
"Excuse me, may I have this dance?"
I felt Natsume stiffen, but he released me, nodded to the other guy, and simply said: "Of course..." and walked away. I stared at the boy in front of me. I've never seen him before. He had curly chocolate brown hair, dark brown eyes, and a friendly smile. Oddly, it felt like I knew him.
"I'm sorry," I said, "I can't dance with people who didn't give me a present."
He flashed me a big smile, "But Mikan, I gave you that camera."
I stood there shocked, "H-How do you know my name?"
He just smiled, took my arms, and put them around his neck. And, just like before with Natsume, we danced.
He leaned forward, "Soon, you'll know everything."
I danced stiffly for awhile, but soon, I grew comfortable in his arms. There was just something really familiar with this guy. I felt like I know him from somewhere.
"Ahem..." I looked up, Narumi-Sensei was talking. "Everybody look at your partner!"
I looked at my mystery boy.
"This is the last dance! So, if rumors are true, you and your partner will be together forever! Enjoy this dance, then its time for the fireworks!"
Together forever with a guy I don't know? We finished the dance and I asked him, "W-Who are you?"
He smiled and said, "You'll know soon enough." With that he bowed and walked away, leaving me very confused.
Natsume's POV
Damn that guy! He interrupted our dance! It's not like I could have said no, if I did, it would seem like I actually like Mikan. I almost burned that guy! Good thing I've practiced holding in my temper. It made my blood boil seeing Mikan dance with someone else, especially with a random stranger. And when that gay teacher announced the last dance, puh-lease. Together forever? Not if I have anything to do with it.
Mikan's POV
Soon after Mystery Boy (MB) left, Hotaru took me to where the fireworks were being displayed. There was a bunch of really cool fireworks, but I was too distracted with MB to focus. Who is he? I think I know him from somewhere, but I can't remember! "Mikan?" I looked up at Hotaru. She looked kind of worried, (Which was a first), "Are you ok?" I put on my best smile, "Yeah, everything's great!" She looked like she didn't believe me, but she let it go. Everything'll be fine. I'm just going to enjoy this moment. I grabbed Hotaru's arm and watched the rest of the fireworks.
