Woohoo!!! Thank you for enjoying my fiction! Thank you so much! Bows multiple of times. Now here's the next chapter! Squeals!

Present in the Moonlight

Natsume was then knocked out by Ruka and Hotaru's men and sent into a room. When he woke up, he realized he only had ten minutes to get to the Ferris wheel in time to catch up with Mikan. Luckily or as planned, the door to the room was unlocked at now Natsume was facing the Ferris wheel. It's not moving slowly so each gondola can experience a beautiful full moon scene on the top of the wheel.

That's when Natsume locked his eyes on a girl with long pigtails alone in a gondola slowly reaching the top of the wheel. "M-Mikan!" Natsume cried out and started running towards the Ferris wheel. He saw by the counter a man was pushing people aside from stepping into the gondolas. "What's going on?" Natsume asked and a couple turned around and saw him, then they sighed.

"Every year on this date, there will be this beautiful full moon rising as you're at the peak of the wheel. If you're with your lover, it's said to have an angel fall to you and give you her blessings to make you be with each other forever," The girl said.

"Only thirty lucky couples will be able to ride it each year. But from the looks of one of the gondolas, there seems to be only one girl on the top of the gondola and she isn't coming out while everyone is taking their chance to make their true love happen," The man said and Natsume clenched his fists when he saw the gondola behind Mikan's was Hotaru's and Ruka's.

"The girl paid twenty times the amount of the ticket and no one could top that off. The only way would be to climb up and pull the door open and throw her down," The man said with a determine fist. Natsume creased his eyebrows and frowned. What the hell are they thinking of doing? Why are they keeping him out of the wheel? Why was it planned for him to come yet he wasn't welcomed? WHAT THE HELL IS FRIGGIN GOING ON?!

The man was now pushing all the couples away violently until he pushed Natsume and he fell. "You bastard…" Natsume sneered at the man suddenly looked at Natsume whom now has his eyes blazing in anger. "You dared touch me with those filthy hands that were stained by the devil. You dare separate me from someone I love…" Natsume mumbled and got up slowly. "You should have the punishment of having your head chopped off by me," Natsume somehow was able to grab the man by the neck and was now on the floor strangling him.

"Wh-gat Argh Yuh Dooingh?!" The man struggled to get lose from Natsume's grasp and all the couples stepped back to get away from Natsume.

"You should die! People who stands in my way of getting Mikan back should die! My life was troubled because of her presence! She's annoying, stubborn and horribly irritating! I don't even know why I fell in love with such a bubblehead!" Natsume screamed and suddenly two big men pulled Natsume away from the man. "LET GO!" Natsume elbowed the man right to their stomachs and they pulled back and let go of Natsume's grasp.

"That boy is crazy!" The man said and hid behind a couple. The couple moved away and glared. "Humanly crazy! What a nutcase!"

"No he isn't!" The girl shouted. "He just believes in his love for his lover! He's a rare person! How dare you call him crazy?!" The girl shouted.

"Yeah," Muttered everyone that crowded.

"How could you separate the people who should be in love? How could you be the person to acknowledge who belongs with whom?" The man said. "How dare you told me and my girlfriend that we don't suit each other?" The man said and a woman clutched close next to him.

"Yeah! I love him just the way he is. Even if he was poor, short, dumb, I'll still love him!" The woman said. "Why do we need a blessing of an angel to prove what we're worth?" The woman suddenly shouted and all the couples nodded.

"Yeah! It's just wasting my twenty dollar bill!" A guy held his fists up.

"Yeah, it's a whole lot more romantic if we camp out and do the things we love like doodling each others faces and tickling each other! Here we're just practically sitting on a hard twin seat and vomiting from the height!" A girl shouted.

"Let's leave!" A boy said and everyone agreed and started moving on.

"That was surprising," Natsume chuckled and glared at the man. "So are you letting me in the Ferris wheel?" Natsume asked and the man fidgeted.

"I-I'm sorry, but the Ferris wheel is actually jammed. Rather, on this night, the Ferris wheel cannot be stopped until it has made a full round. It's to share the scene of the moonlight together," The man said and Natsume frowned.

"No! That's not fair!" Natsume clenched his fists.

"Haha, if you really want to get on, it looks like you have to climb it with your hands," The man chuckled and saw Natsume's serious face. "You're not serious?" He asked and suddenly Natsume ran towards the Ferris wheel. "Wait! Mister! Don't, it's dangerous! Someone stop that boy!" The man shouted but Natsume was already standing face to face with the wheel.

"I have to climb it," Natsume said and looked up. Mikan was halfway to the top and he needs to get there in time. "This is going to be the most craziest stunt I've done in my life," Natsume said and hooked himself to a gondola that arrived in front of him.

"Oi! What are you doing?" A couple inside who was making out shouted. They were interrupted by Natsume's jump. When Natsume glanced inside with his hair flipping down, the girl inside the gondola blushed. "Hey, Irene! What are you blushing for? Oi!" The guy scolded and Natsume shook his head.

Natsume continued to climb. Thank goodness for him the wheel moves slowly and it takes time. Natsume wouldn't be off balance. He found the ladder reaching to the centre of the wheel so he jumped and grabbed it and sweated when he saw the height. He looked up and saw the gondola Mikan was in. She was oblivious, eating the Octopus Ball as if nothing was going on. As if he wasn't even in her mind.

Natsume frowned when he saw Hotaru found him below her and smirked. Ruka faced the back and creased his eyebrows. Natsume knew they were up to something since they were talking about something. Natsume hurried climb the ladder. He saw all thirty gondolas around him and suddenly it was moving faster. Natsume panicked since he was at the centre and he couldn't balance himself.

"IT'S DANGEROUS!!!" He heard a voice below him. Very familiar…and very annoying. Natsume glanced down and saw Sumire and the rest of his classmates. They were screaming out to him that it was dangerous.

Oh I get it! Hotaru called them out so they would distract me! That leech! Natsume cursed and ignored the shouting below him only until he heard a soft voice.

"Natsume!!!" He looked down and saw Youichi on Koko's shoulders. He held his hands up high in case Natsume fell. Natsume sighed and shook his head. He continued to try and grab for a cable beam. The right cable that would get him straight to Mikan but he was confused now since he couldn't see Mikan's shadow. She's too high up.

"Eh, uwaaa!!!" Natsume screamed when he slipped and everyone else shouted when Natsume barely managed grabbed a cable. "Ouch, that hurt!" He said and tried to swing to balance himself but his hands was slipping. "Argh!" Natsume grunted and tried to maintain his grip but the cable was too cold and slippery.

"Natsume!!" Youichi shouted again and Sumire clasped her fingers together and prayed. Natsume struggled to get to a better position to get up. Then he managed to sit on the cable and inhaled deeply. That was close!

………………

"I think we have to help him," Ruka said and breathed in when he saw Natsume sitting and breathing slowly.

"We can't and we won't," Hotaru folded her arms. "He brought all this mishaps by himself. He deserves a little punishment," Hotaru said.

Ruka sighed. "He received more than enough punishment from you, Hotaru. You were the one who always pulls Mikan away from him when he was planning to invite her for a date," Ruka said and Hotaru looked forward and saw Mikan's gondola in front of her. Mikan was sitting and gazing at the moon next to her. But her face wasn't smiling.

"I suppose so," Hotaru said and looked at Natsume. "I guess today's your lucky day, Hyuuga," Hotaru said and took out a remote from her pocket and grinned. "It's time for my present in the invited moonlight." With that Hotaru pressed the button and Natsume was suddenly in shock from a short circuit.

Natsume looked at the ring and the necklace and it glowed and a bright light blurred his eyesight and he disappeared in a second. "Wha-What happened to Natsume?!"

"Did he fall?!"

"OH MY GOD! SOMEONE CALL AN AMBULANCE!!!"

BOOM!!

"Shut up pipsqueaks!" Hotaru shouted after she shot Anna and Sumire with the XXL Baka Gun.

……………….

"Yikes! Ahh!!!" Natsume screamed when he fell onto a gondola. "Huh? Where am I?" Natsume looked around and saw the kite that he used to get into the Ferris wheel compound. He looked down and saw Koko carrying Anna and Mochu slapping Sumire's face to get up. That's when he realized he wasn't on the wire beam anymore but on a gondola that was about to reach the top.

When it did, the gondola stopped so suddenly that Natsume lost his balance and fell head first. "NATSUME!!!!!" Mikan screamed and opened the gondola door to grab him. Natsume reached out and caught her hand.

"Use both hands you dimwit!" Natsume shouted.

"Dimwit?! I'm saving you and you're calling me a dimwit?!" Mikan shouted back.

"Yeah! You're a dimwit! You're an airheaded dimwit! You're so much of a dimwit that you don't even realize how much you're causing pain to the people that love you!" Natsume shouted and hanged on Mikan's hand for dear life.

"Excuse me?!" Mikan shouted and suddenly the gondola swung back and forth because of the cold wind blowing. "Na-Natsume, hold on!" Mikan now used both her hands and grab hold of Natsume's hand.

"Look at everyone down there! They've done so much for you! And then you suddenly left for America out of the blue without even sending letters to us! You have no idea how much all of us worry for you!" Natsume shouted. Then Natsume's hands started to sweat and became slippery.

"Natsume! Use your other hand!" Mikan shouted to ask Natsume to grab hold.

"Do you have any idea what we've been doing without a happy and cheerful person like you to comfort us? Heck, it was because of you that we're all miserable in the first place! Look at Ruka and Imai! Ruka was so happy to see you again that he backstabbed me and Imai was so furious that you were dumb and blamed me and almost killed me!" Natsume continued shouting.

"Natsume!" Mikan sobbed. "Use your other hand and take mine!" Mikan said but Natsume refused. This was the only time that he could be serious with her and the time when she's actually listening.

"NO! This is the only way for me to make you realize that you're not the only person in the world who has feelings! You seem to think that the world revolves around you! You think as though because you're so popular now that everything you thought of will go exactly the way it was planned!" Natsume said.

"NATSUME!" Mikan screamed when she was only able to grab just the three fingers of his. His eyes widen in fear when he felt totally off balance and that gravity was pulling him in.

"I know this is wrong timing but I'll say it again. I love you, all of us love you…," After that Natsume's hand slipped by Mikan's grasps and fell down straight. Mikan's eyes tears up and her mouth was wide open to scream but she was so much in shock that nothing would come out. Natsume's falling, girl! Catch him! Grab him! Don't lose him!

"NATSUME!!!!!!!" Mikan screamed as loud as she could. "I LOVE YOU!" As she shouted that she saw Natsume's face lit up a little and saw a slight glimpse of a smile. She saw him mouthed back 'I love you' and disappeared in the darkness below her. "Natsume? NATSUME?! NATSUME!!!" Mikan shouted only when she felt a huge bump on her gondola and it swung back and forth.

"Yes my dear, Mikan?" Natsume grinned when he hopped inside the gondola from the other side door. Mikan turned around with her face wet from the tears and her snot drooling down from her nose.

"You idiot! You numbskull idiot!" Mikan ran to him and hit his chest multiple of times. She grabbed his shirt so tightly and cried. "You idiot…," She mumbled in his shirt. Natsume smiled and placed his hand on Mikan's head. "You freak! You could've grabbed my hands!" Mikan cried out and Natsume felt his shirt getting wet from the tears. "You idiot! You idiot! You idiot!"

Natsume chuckled lightly and looked out from the window. He saw the moon gazing at them with it's light. Natsume lightly patted Mikan's head and she looks up. Natsume smiled and got out a small box from his pocket. "Happy birthday, Mikan," Natsume said and Mikan blushed.

She wiped her eyes and nose and looked at the blue box in Natsume's hands. "Is this for me?" Mikan asked.

"Not yet, it isn't," Natsume said. When all the clouds near the moon disappeared Natsume kneeled down.

"Here's the good part! Ruka, switch on the camera!" Hotaru said and Ruka pressed a button under the seat of their gondola. Suddenly all around the Amusement park were flashes of screens and televisions with Natsume and Mikan in it.

"Will you, Mikan Sakura, marry me?" Natsume asked and Mikan grinned. She leaped and hugged him so tightly.

"Yes! I'll marry you! I'll marry you, Natsume!" Mikan shouted and then there were screams and applauses. Even laughter and smiles. Out of the blue there were fireworks exploding in the air forming a heart shape and stars. "Hotaru! You're over doing it!"

Hotaru looked out from her gondola window. "I didn't plan the fireworks!" Hotaru looked and Ruka.

"Me? No way!" Ruka said.

Mikan looked down. "Sumire?"

"CONGRATULATIONS!" Her whole class shouted and screamed. "This is just for you, Mikan!" Sumire shouted and pointed to Yuu who was the one making the fireworks and lighting them up.

"Now for the official kiss," Mikan said and Natsume laughed so hard.

"You must be joking. You want my royal lips to kiss something that had snot drooled all over, you're nuts!" Natsume laughed and Mikan's face flushed.

"You bastard!" Mikan kicked Natsume out of the gondola. "When you have a better attitude, that's when we can start planning a wedding!"

"WAIT! MIKAN!" Natsume dropped from the gondola. "The electronic necklace was broken up there! I can't teleport back!" Natsume shouted.

"WHAT!!!" Everyone screamed. Mikan covered her mouth. "NO!" She screamed.

"Sometimes I think those two idiots are really suited together," Hotaru sighed and looked at Ruka.

"You said it," Ruka said.

"MIKAAAAAAAAAN!!!" Natsume shouted.

Kyaaa. I so love this chapter. The next would officially be the last. It's about the wedding! Thank you so much for reading my story so far. I hope you enjoyed it.
