Gomen! I really wanted to update sooner but I couldn't really think of anything to write. I kinda forgot to put Teru and Akemi in this so I hope you'll forgive me...I promise next chapter will be faster and more interesting. But of course how fast I upload depends on how many reviews I get. :)


"T-the bus!"

All that was left was the bus's tracks. They students searched around but got no hints to where their bus is.

"The tracks stop halfway." Kitsu called as he landed on the ground.

"Hey, Naru–" Sumire was about to ask what happened when Narumi sensei was no where to be found.

"Great. Our teacher and the bus are both gone. Now what?" Koko asked after 10 minutes of looking around.

Everyone just shrugged, their face was blank. Natsume got his phone from his pockets and dialed a few numbers.

"Natsume, who are you calling?" Mikan asked, curious like she always is. Natsume showed her the number and she recognized it right away.

Natsume was calling Narumi sensei.

Riiiinng...riiiinng... riiiinng... riiiinng... riiiinng...I'm sorry but this number is not available at this time.

Natsume closed his phone angrily and shoved it down his pocket. He turned sharply around and started walking.

"Natsume, where are you going?" Mikan asked looking confused. The others looked blankly at him as well.

"Anyone got money? We need to get a taxi." Natsume said simply and continued walking.

The others dug into their bags and pockets for money and followed Natsume towards the road. All the taxi's completely ignored them as if they weren't even there.

"Great. We can't use our alices and we can't get a taxi." Nono sighed and hugged Anna tightly.

"Natsume, what do we do now?" Akemi asked Natsume sweetly as he tried to ignore her. He looked around and sighed.

"We got to walk back." Natsume stated simply and started walking again. Everyone else sighed and followed.


"Are you sure letting the students walk alone is ok?"

"Don't worry. I'm sure."


"WOW!" Mikan was jumping all over the place.

The city was lit up in beautiful lights. Restaurant's lights were in all different colors and creative pictures and names were everywhere.

It was very lively and loud but it was very fun for them. They were buying a whole lot of toys, books and snacks.

"You guys should stop eating so many snacks." Sumire scolded the boys who were gorging more than 10 different snacks. They swallowed and laughed.

"I think these food are gonna be way better than the dinner we were supposed to have." Koko stated coolly and continued eating.

"What do you mean by 'the dinner we were supposed to have'?" Sumire asked, glaring at them with her hands on her hips.

"We don't know the way to the restaurant. Besides, our 'great' teacher, Narumi, just disappeared."

"But if Narumi sensei didn't disappear, than we wouldn't see and eat all these amazing things!" Koko, Kitsu and Sumire jumped and turned sharply around to the person who spoke.

"Don't sneak up on us!" They all shouted together making Mikan feel small.

"I-I'm s-sorry..." She mumbled and quickly crawled away.


After 10 more minutes of searching for the restaurant, (or to be more exact, playing and eating,) they finally stopped.

"I'm so tired!" Nono and Anna complained, sitting down on a nearby bench. The others nodded in agreement and sat down on the remaining space of the bench or on the ground.

"Where on earth is the restaurant!?" They all screamed at once.

"There!" Ruka pointed in a direction but no one cared to look.

"Dude, stop teasing us. We really do want to know where the restaurant is." Kitsu sighed closing his eyes.

"No! It's really there!" Everybody jolted up but ended up tripping on each other and fell back down.

Ruka sweat-dropped and watched as they one by one got up and looked in the direction he pointed at.

"Oh my god! It's really there!" Yuu exclaimed and the rest ran up to the restaurant.

"I told you so..." Ruka mumbled after the others went into the restaurant.

"Huh. Those idiots." Natsume grumbled as he walked up beside Ruka.

"Natsume, do I look like I tease people?" Ruka asked in dismay.

"You don't want me to answer that." Natsume answered and quickly ran to the restaurant leaving Ruka stuck dumbfounded.

"Natsume! What does that supposed to mean!?" Ruka shouted angrily and ran up to him.

They burst out in laughter and chatted happily as they walked inside the restaurant.

Bang! Bang! The others stood in a daze. Why there confetti?

"Narumi sense—" Mikan was cut off by Narumi sensei who was about to explain everything.

"Well you see, I thought it was boring just walking around and telling histories so I decided for you to walk around yourself..."

Silence

"...But if anything bad happened we were ready to rescue since we use Ms. Yamada's alice to see whats happening." Narumi explained and when he was finally finished he laughed a little and instantly stopped when he felt the glares of the students.

"NARUMI!" They all screamed and jumped on him knocking all the air out of him.

"Hey! Stop! Please! No! Misaki help!" Narumi called for help as the students attacked him.

"This gotta be the best day of my life." Misaki sensei laughed and sat down at a table in the restaurant drinking tea.

"Misaki you traitor!" Narumi screamed through gasps of breath.

Zap! A flash of electricity suddenly made all the students stop.

"Are you kids done yet? Give some respect to you teacher!" Jinno sensei scolded with his cold and strict tone.

All the students hesitantly stood up and bowed in apology.

Narumi stood up and was not as badly hurt as it looked like when all the students were jumping on him.

He coughed a little but smiled at them.

"I bet all of you are pretty full since you ate so many snacks, but eat some of dinner anyways." Narumi sensei said and then all the students moved to their reserved tables.

The teachers has their own tables as well in the corner of the restaurant.

The waiters and waitresses were zooming around serving dishes and taking orders.


For the rest of the night, they spent their time in each others rooms doing their own things.

"So...your not gonna leave us on the streets alone again, heh Narumi?" Sumire said with a creepy grin while cracking her knuckles.

"But honestly, if you abandon us again it's you who gets hurt in the end." Narumi sensei sweat-dropped and quickly crawled away before any of the students could strangle him again.

"Narumi sensei, where are we going today?" Mikan asked while skipping around.

She got no answer so she stopped and stared at Narumi sensei crouching in the corner drawing circles on the ground with his finger.

"Mikan...was I wrong to let you guys go alone yesterday?" Narumi miserably asked.

"Of course not! It was so fun yesterday!" Mikan exclaimed and did some cartwheels.

Narumi instantly lit up and they skipped in front of the others hand in hand.

"Whoa, whats up with them?" Kitsu and Koko said observing closely at the two skipping around.

"Who knows. They're always a little crazy. Maybe they ate too much sweets or caffeine." Sumire joked and high-fived the two boys who were laughing their heads off.

"I wonder where we're going today." Yuu asked curiously.

"I don't know but I bet it's gonna be something fun!" Nono and Anna both exclaimed happily and skipped along with Mikan and Narumi.

Everyone else looked at each other and shrugged but skipped along, of course Natsume and Ruka didn't skip...they have too much pride.

Narumi waited for everyone to get on the bus.

This time the seatings were a little different.

Teru was sitting next to Mikan while Akemi was sitting next to Natsume. They somehow 'fought' and persuaded to sit next to the two.

When everyone climbed onto the bus, Narumi stood up so everyone could see him. He had a silly grin making everyone wonder where they were going.

"Who here likes animals?" Narumi asked scanning the bus. Numerous boys and girls raised their hands not mentioning Mikan.

As every second passed, she got more and more excited on where they were going.

"Looks like a lot of people like animals. I bet you guys will like this next trip. We are going to...the Nogeyama Zoo!" Everyone cheered.

The girls were squealing in their high pitched voices while some of the boys were cat calling and whistling.

Narumi beamed and sat back down on his seat feeling satisfied by the reactions everyone gave.


After about 10 minutes on the bus they arrived as everyone grew wild and tried to get a glimpse of the zoo from the windows.

"This is the first time I've actually been to a zoo!" Sumire exclaimed as she was staring from the window.

"Yeah, because we all spent most of our lives in Gakuen Alice. Although Mikan came about...2 or 3 years ago." Koko stated and they all turned to Mikan making her gulp.

"W-what?" She asked uneasily.

"Have you ever been to a zoo?"

"How does zoos look like?"

"How many animals are there?" Millions of questions were thrown at her and she started feeling the world spin. Natsume realized this and quickly caught her in the shoulders and steadied her balance.

"I've never been to a zoo before...but I thought Hotaru did." Mikan said after she recovered from the dizziness.

"Right...she came before Mikan did but she's still from the city." Nono answered with the things she was told before.

All the other's attention went to Hotaru, whom was sitting in her seat eating crab.

They all went to bother Hotaru instead gaining and big bump from her infamous Baka Gun.

"If you really want to know so much, just go." Hotaru stated and swallowed her crab. The others thought about that and immediately agreed.

"Why are people here all idiots?" Hotaru mumbled to herself while standing up from her seat and followed the others.

"Com'on everyone! Lets go!" Narumi sensei cheerfully said as he skipped into the gates of the zoo.

All the students glanced at each other wondering where their tickets were.

"Oh. I forgot to tell all of you that the entrance is completely free!" Narumi sensei chirped and skipped into the zoo.

The students glanced at each other once more and followed their teacher.

"Awww, that Pheasant is sooo cute!" Nono and Anna said as they watched the Pheasants fly around in their cages.

"Their not that cute, you know." Kitsu said as he casually walked past with both hands resting behind his head.

"Everyone has their own thinking." Yuu defended the two girls because he, too, also thought that the animal looked pretty cute.

"Yeah, Kitsu. Everyone has their own thinking." Anna said sticking a tongue out at Kitsu who was still standing their casually.

"Fine. Whatever." Kitsu smirked and walked away.

Anna and Nono continued watching the birds and making comments on them like 'their colors are so beautiful' or 'their tails are sooo cute!.'


"I think you should totally get one of those, right Natsume?" Koko said as he suddenly popped up from behind Mikan and Natsume.

Natsume and Mikan were both looking at Lovebirds flying around with their brilliant green wings.

Natsume hit Koko's head hard, burned a little of his hair with his alice and scowled at him.

"Don't read my mind, Yome." Koko put out the fire in his air, put both hands up in a surrendering position and shook his head in apology.

Whenever Natsume calls his friends by their last name, it means 'talk more and I'll get you when Mikan's not looking.' Mikan chuckled and ran over to the red pandas.

"These red pandas look so much like raccoons." Mikan stated the obvious as she watched them eat bamboo.

"The funny thing is that they don't look like pandas." Ruka went to join Natsume and Mikan after he saw Natsume's dark aura, probably got his mind read by Koko.

Mikan nodded and continued to observe.

Natsume was taking pictures next to her and Ruka smiled.

Natsume has always been a great photographer and Mikan has always been great at observing things in great details. Perfect match.

"Ow. What was that for?" Ruka whined after being punched in the arm lightly from Natsume.

"Stop laughing like a maniac. It's creepy." Natsume said with his stoic expression.

After a short pause they both burst in guffaw, hugging their stomachs. Mikan was just watching and sweat dropped. Boys are so hard to understand.

Snap

Huh? Mikan turned around and saw Nono and Anna holding their camera.

"Mikan, look." They showed her the picture they just took and saw the picture of the two laughing.

Mikan gave them a questioning look while the two girls looked at each other and giggled.

"Well, you usually don't see them laughing this hard—" Anna started.

"—so we took this picture as a good memory." Nono finished.

Honestly, they are such good friends they are basically twins.

Mikan smiled and giggled at the picture. She went back to the boys who are now chatting about 'private off topic boy stuff.'

Mikan ignored their small chat and went in the middle of the boys.

She grinned widely at then as she hooked her arms around theirs and continued to look around the zoo.

There were exactly 1416 with approximately 100 species.

Mikan's goal was to look at all of them at least once including Mandarin Ducks, Cranes, Red Pandas, Chimpanzees, Hamadryas Baboons, Reptiles, Lion, Tigers, Tanuki (Raccoon Dogs), Badgers, Pheasants, Love Birds, Zebras, Giraffes, Flamingos, Camels, Ruffed Lemurs, White-mantled Black Colobus, Black-capped Capuchins, Swans, Ducks, Kagus, Penguins, Wallaby, Deer, Eagles, Owls, Condors, Bears and Tokyo Bitterlings (Rhodeus).

Thats not even half of the animals and I bet your already overwhelmed with names.

"Hey are you guys planning to see the whole zoo?" Koko asked as he walked past them.

Natsume and Ruka used their extra hand and pointed at Mikan who was still linking arms with them.

Koko laughed and nodded his head.

He already knew the answer since he could read minds but it was priceless seeing them like that. He continued giggling as he walked away when Sumire went up to them.

"Did you guys know there's a part of this zoo called the Makigahara Children's Z–" Sumire tried asking but Natsume and Ruka darted to her and quickly shut her up by putting their hands on her mouth and didn't care if she was practically spitting on their hands.

They stared at Mikan nervously as she lit up even more and declared she's going to the Makigahara Children's Zoo as well.

Natsume and Ruka wiped their hands on their pants and sighed heavily. Looks like it's gonna be a long walk.

'She's so childish' The both thought as they stared at her skipping and stopping once in a while observing the rare animals.

They smiled at her and ran to catch up with her.
