Hey guys! Sorry for the late update. I was really busy in school! :DD HERE'S THE NEXT CHAPTER! ;)

Chapter 5 – The Truth

Normal POV

It was early in the morning. Mikan had her things packed already. Natsume was outside waiting for her. Though Natsume put on a stoic façade, deep down his heart was aching. He would definitely miss her. He'll miss her smiles, hugs, kisses and many more. He'll definitely miss their bickering and their sweet moments even though they just started their relationship.

After preparing herself, Mikan went out to meet Natsume and outside the building, her friends, sempais and teachers.

Mikan faked a smile "Let's go Natsume, they're waiting,"

Natsume to stop time but he couldn't, sadly "Hn, let's go," was his reply.

They both entwined their hands and gradually walked outside. Upon reaching the exit, they both saw many people mainly Mikan's friends, teachers and sempais. Everyone was shredding tears even the boys since Mikan was a very special friend to them. She changed their boring days to enthusiastic ones. She brightened everything up.

Mikan smiled sadly at them and hugged each of them while whispering "I'll miss all of you," to each and every one of them.

"Mikan, we'll miss you!" Nonoko and Anna cried as they strangled Mikan because of their super tight hug.

"Mikan, I'll miss you too even though you're loud and irritating; I'll miss those days," Sumire said while hugging Mikan tightly.

"Mikan-chan, we'll miss you especially when we share jokes and laugh out loud. Uwahhh! Mikan-chan, we'll super miss you!" cried Koko and Kitsuneme.

"Umm . . . M-Mikan-san i-it was n-nice being y-your f-friend and c-classmate. I hope y-you'll have a s-safe trip and w-will be f-fine a-always," stuttered Yuu since he was fighting back the tears that were threatening to fall from his eyes.

"Mikan . . . It was nice being your friends. You showed me true happiness and friendship. If it wasn't for you, I won't be this new and better person even Natsume," Ruka said while small tears fell from his eyes.

"Mikan, remember Tsubasa and I will miss our adorable, cute and favorite kohai. Take care of yourself ok?" Misaki said while she too cried. Tsubasa wasn't able to speak since she'll super, super miss her favorite kohai.

"Guys, thank you so much. I'll really miss you all. I'll miss our bonding time, going to Central Town, having sleepovers and fooling around. I'll really miss you guys. I hope to see you again," Mikan said as she wailed.

"Onee-chan, I'll miss you," cried Youichi as she embraced her sister tightly.

"Youichi, onee-chan will definitely miss you too but I have to go. Goodbye," Mikan replied as she cried harder since she'll miss her younger brother.

"Mikan . . . I'll miss you, baka. Come here," Hotaru said in a whisper while tears fell from her eyes. Her normal façade wasn't seen on her face. She'll definitely miss Mikan so much. She'll miss her stupidity, her hugs; everything she'll definitely miss.

"HOTARU! I'll definitely miss you. You'll always be my best friend. Thanks Hotaru, goodbye," cried Mikan as she embraced Hotaru back tightly.

"Goodbye Mikan," Hotaru said as she released herself from their tight embrace,"

"Goodbye guys! I'll miss you all! Take care," Mikan said as she walked toward the limousine along with Natsume.

Natsume grabbed Mikan's hand and escorted her to the limousine since he was in charge of guiding and leading of her. When they reached the limo, Mikan hugged Natsume and cried all of her bottled up feelings. She will definitely miss all of them especially her Natsume. Natsume too shed a tear or two and hugged Mikan very tightly as if he didn't want to let her go. They looked at each other's eyes and kissed; a passionate kiss that would last in their hearts. Mikan then again hugged Natsume but he told her she'll be late.

"Mikan . . . remember I love you. You're the only one reserved in my heart, no one else. I will never replace you because all I know is I love you more than anything and my life," Natsume said as he gradually released himself from their tight hug.

"Na-natsume . . . I'm gonna miss you so much. But I trust you and love you so I know there's no need to worry," Mikan replied.

"Mikan, it's time to go . . . Goodbye . . . I'll be waiting for you," Natsume whispered.

"Bye, Natsume. I promise, I'll return back to you," Mikan said as she slowly entered the limo waiting for her.

"Goodbye . . ."

While the limo was traveling to the airport, Mikan was just staring at nothing but space. She has been spacing out since she entered the limo. Persona, being her brother surely got worried because of this.

Persona held Mikan's hand and hugged her, "Mikan, are you alright and umm I've got to tell you something…." Persona said quietly. He hoped Mikan woon't get mad at him.

"I'm okay, nii-san. I'm just distracted." Mikan replied still looking out of the window.

"Well Mikan, you see umm this really ain't training camp–" Mikan cut her off and shrieked.

"WHAT! You fooled me all along! How could you."

"I was doing this because-"

"Stop! I don't want to hear anymore. Return me to the academy at once!"

"MIKAN!" Persona had enough. Mikan was always cutting him.

"I did this because it was our mother's dream. He dreamt that someday, you would be on stage singing your heart out. I did this for you and for her. I also want to spend time with you." Persona explained.

Mikan tried to absorb everything. Every tiny bit of information she was getting. "So you mean, I'm gonna be a singer? You must be joking Persona-nii. I have no talent." Mikan said.

"Oh really? How come you can play the piano, guitar, violin and flute? How come you always get high grades in music too, huh?" Persona asked.

Mikan was speechless. Everything that Persona said was true. "I'm sorry nii-san. I was just shocked. That's all." Mikan said hugging his brother.

"Don't worry Mikan, I understand and one more thing. I, by the way am Scooter Braun though that really is just my name in hollywood." Persona said.

SILENCE

STILL SILENCE

MORE SILENCE

THEN….

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! OMG! I CAN'T BELIEVE IT! MY BROTHER'S SCOOTER BRAUN!" Mikan shrieked. Persona covered his ears because of the ear shattering scream.

"Yeah that is true but please keep it a secret, ok?" Persona said trying to calm Mikan down.

"Okay but how come you don't look like him? And OMG! Can you introduce Justin Bieber to me!" Mikan squealed. She totally forgot her friends and boyfriend. WOW! A dire hard fan of Bieber she was.

Persona sweat dropped at her sister. "You see, our mother inserted a huge shape shifting alice stone in me that's why. And yeah, I could introduce JB to you one day."

"Thank you thank you thank you very much nii-san though, I will still miss my friends." Mikan said suddenly becoming sad.

"Don't worry Mikan you'll gain friends in America too." Persona said trying to comfort her.

"Yeah, I do hope. So we'll go to America? Cool!" Mikan suddenly brightened up.

"We're here!" Sato, the driver said.

Persona and Mikan went out of the limo went inside the airportt. They waited their flight for 3 long hours, well Mikan slept while waiting.

"Passengers for Flight E34A are boarding." The announcer said.

"Onii-san I'm excited! Let's go!" Mikan said.

Mikan and Persona abruptly stood up and went inside the airplane. They buckled their seatbelts. Good thing they were seated beside each other. They were able to talk catch-up on things with each other throughout the ride. It was also Mikan's first time riding a plane. This was one hell of a rid for her though the ride was long. Probably it lasted for 1 and a half days.

"Mikan, before I forget, you'll have three students coming with you. They will be coming from different countries and will be forming a band with you so please don't be surprised. I hope you become friends with them," Persona said as he browsed files from his folder.

"Wow! We'll form a band! " Mikan replied, yawning since she's tired.

Hours passed….

"Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. For your safety and comfort, we ask that you please remain seated with your seat belt fastened until the Captain turns off the Fasten Seat Belt sign. This will indicate that we have parked at the gate and that it is safe for you to move about…" the announcer said.

"Nii-san, we're almost near! YEY!" Mikan cheered.

"Shhh. Quiet Mikan. Ohh before I forget, you're name and stage name will be Hayley Braun here. And I need you to change your appearance" Persona said.

"Okay nii-san." Mikan said activating her shape-shifting alice which she stole from one student.

Minute later, the plane landed and they went out of the plane.

"Scooter, man; finally nice to see you back!" someone said or rather Justin Bieber said giving him a manly hug.

"Yeah, nice to see you too, Justin." Persona replied.

"Ahhhhh! Scooter, we misssss you!" Ryan screamed.

Everyone laughed at Ryan's outburst. "Yeah, missed you to Ryan" Persona replied giving him a fist bump.

"Hey! Hey! Hey! Don't forget me!" Kenny said.

"Oh Kenny my man, finally nice to see you!" Persona replied giving Kenny a manly hug too.

Mikan was frozen and shocked. Right in front of her was none other than JUSTIN BIEBER, her all time idol! And right in front of her was his crew! Her eyes were wide like saucers and her mouth formed an "O". SQUEAL!

"You must be Hayley, Scooter's younger sister, nice to finally meet you. And I'll be looking forward collaborating with you." Justin said offering a handshake.

Mikan snapped out of her trance and smiled. "Nice to meet you to Justin and yeah, I'm looking forward to it too." Mikan said accepting the handshake also giving him a bright smile.

"Hey! You're cute! I'm Ryan!" Ryan said giving Mikan a hug.

Mikan giggled. "You're rather cute too. I'm M- I mean Hayley" Mikan replied.

"Aye! Easy there Ryan! I'm Kenny by the way." Kenny said offering a hand shake.

"Nice meeting you. Hayley here!" Mikan replied enthusiastically accepting the hand shake.

"Okay enough with the introductions. Let's go, I got jetlagged." Persona said impatiently.

Mikan chuckled at her brother's actions. "Okay fine. Chill bro, let's go!" Mikan said grabbing hold of Justin's hand which he didn't mind since they were JUST friends.

"Guys, our rides already waiting, let's go." Justin said. They all went in the limousine and started chatting. For starters, Justin, Kenny, Ryan and Mikan became instant best friends right away. They shared stories about their life and more. Persona would occasionally but in their conversation too. After a few more kilometers of driving, the limo stopped. In front of the limo was a big house, no a mansion. The gates were painted black while the house was painted white. There was a fountain at the middle a pool at the backyard. There were big windows and there was also a spacious veranda. The roof was color blue with a chimney. The door was also huge and was painted brown. The landscape was perfect with the trees and flowers surrounding the mansion.

"We're here." the driver said.

Persona, Mikan, Ryan, Kenny and Justin went out of the limo. Upon entering the mansion they saw three figures slumped on the sofa. The nearest to them had blonde hair with lime eyes. He was wearing a blue shirt, faded jeans and Nike dunks. Next was a black haired girl with cute blue eyes. She was wearing sleeveless pink shirt with a white bolero. She also wore a white skirt that reached up to her knee and white converse. The last guy had dark brown hair and cerulean blue eyes. He was wearing brown cargo pants and a black shirt that had a big skull. For his foot wear, he wore black Vans. After staring at each other for quite a while, persona broke the stares with a fake cough.

"Oh, forgot to tell you Scooter, the others arrived already. They're pretty cool." Kenny said.

"See you guys! Got a tight schedule. Bye!" Justin said and him and company went away.

"Ahem. As you see Mikan, the people here are the ones who will also be training with you. The guy with blonde hair is Christian Brown, an American citizen. The girl with black hair is Yuen Goo Kyung or Yuen and she's a Korean citizen. The brown haired guy there is Joshua Myer, he's a Canadian Citizen," Persona introduced.

Luckily, before the trip she was able to study the English language with Natsume, "Umm . . . hello, my name is Mikan Sakura. I have the nullification and Steal, Erase and Copy alice. Nice meeting you all," Mikan introduced herself while showing her bright smile.

"OMG! You're so cute! By the way I'm Yuen Goo Kyung but you can call me Yuen. I have the dream and curse alice. Don't worry I know how to speak English and Japanese too, they also can so no need to worry! Oh . . . and nice meeting you too!" Yuen said enthusiastically.

Christian stood up and approached her, "Yo, Christian here. I have the elemental alice. Nice meeting you too," Christian replied coolly while shaking her hands.

Persona noticed that Joshua wasn't bulging so he called his attention, "Joshua, introduce yourself," Persona said.

Joshua's POV

"Ugh. Another stupid girl here. Well at least she looks good. Ugh… Persona's calling my attention better introduce me," Joshua thought.

Normal POV

"Hn. Joshua's my name. Have the water and ice alice," Joshua said while lazily walking at her.

"Ok . . . since you've introduced yourself, here's your room key. Feel free to roam around them mansion but go to the living room at 6:00. I have some things to discuss with you." Persona said and he gave them their keys.

After getting their keys, they picked up their baggage and went to their room and fixed their things. After they fixed their things, one by one each of them went out of their rooms and roamed around the mansion. Mikan was strolling around when he found a Sakura Tree. She slowly approached and touched the tree.

"Natsume I miss you so much. How I wish you were here with me," She said while she gradually crouched down and sobbed.

Suddenly somebody tapped her and offered her a handkerchief. Surprisingly, it was Joshua. He sat down a few centimeters away from her and put his hands behind his back, "Little girl, why are you crying?" Joshua asked.

Mikan stopped sobbing since she was very surprised by the given nickname by Joshua, "Nothing I just miss the people I love,"

"Hn. Do you mean your boyfriend?"

"Ehh . . . How did you know?" Mikan asked quite surprised.

"You're too easy to read, y'know," he replies.

"MIKAN! JOSHUA! Hey what are you guys doing here and Oh My God! Why are you crying Mikan? Joshua! What did you do now?" asked Yuen as she hugs Mikan.

"Tch. Why would I make a stupid girl cry? She's not even worth my time," replied Joshua.

Mikan's POV

"Is it me or did he just sound like Natsume? Natsume, Natsume, how I miss you. I hope you're doing fine there. I love you," Mikan thought while reminiscing her times with Natsume.

Normal POV

"It's ok Yuen, Joshua didn't do anything. I just remembered the people I love that I left in Japan," Mikan silently replied.

"Ohh . . . So is there any problem?" asked Yuen.

"No there's not I just miss my boyfriend," Mikan said while blushing madly.

Yuen squealed while jumping up and down, "OMG! You have a boyfriend can you tell me about him and can you give me a picture of him?" asked Yuen.

"Umm . . . well you see, his name is Natsume Hyuuga. He has the fire alice and a special star. He's also in the Dangerous Ability Class," Mikan said while handing them Natsume's picture.

The picture was when Mikan and Natsume had their first date walking hand in hand. The picture was courtesy of Hotaru Imai, obviously.

"Ohhh, so that's him. I hear he's the infamous black cat, right?" Christian asked.

"Well yeah he is the black cat," Mikan said as she slowly stood up.

"He's so hot Mikan. Lucky you! Guys, look at the time it's quarter to six. We better get ready or Persona might get mad," Yuen reminded them as she took off.

"Alright"

"Hn"

"Ok"

Each of them prepared themselves and headed to the living room. Upon entering the room, they saw Persona sitting on the couch.

"You're late," Persona said passively.

"Umm . . . sorry nii-chan we were so caught up exploring the house, we forgot the time. We're sorry," Mikan explained.

"Persona sighed, "Fine please sit down. So, let's start discussing the important matter. Well you see I'm Scooter Braun and I was just joking about the AAO." Persona said.

Gasps where heard after hearing what Persona said. Well Mikan knew about this so she just smiled.

"Really brother? Why didn't you tell me?" Mikan asked while pouting cutely.

"Well, before wasn't the right time. So about that matter, I would like you to form a band. Your band would be called "The 4th day Twilight". After, reading all of your backgrounds, I saw that you all had the potential to make a band. You all will have code names in order to hide your identities and secure your safety. So . . . do you agree with my proposal?" Persona asked.

"Sure, why not," the three replied while Joshua just answered with an "Hn".

"So Mikan, you will be the lead singer and rhythm guitarist. Your code name will be Haley Fox. Joshua, you will be the male singer if a duet with Mikan is required. You will also be the lead guitarist and your code name is Mark Evans. Yuen, you will be the bassist and back up vocalist. Your code name will be Hana Seung. And Christian, you will be the drummer and also the back-up vocalist. Your code name will be Ryan Hudson. In the morning you will all have your training but in the afternoon you will practice. I would also want to change your appearance when you will be appearing live,"

"Yes, we understand,"

"That is all good night," Persona said as he bid them goodnight.

What do you think? Bieber haters, sorry. :D NO FLAMES PLEAE! :)
