DISCLAIMER: I DON'T OWN GAKUEN ALICE

Thank you very much for the reviews that you gave. Okay since today is Christmas I make a special Christmas chapter just this day but its still part of the story although this idea only came up in my mind while I notice that Christmas is approaching.

CHAPTER EIGHT: CHRISTMAS AND SURPRISES

It's the day before Christmas, Mikan and Natsume were shopping for gifts to give during Christmas day. Since Ruka, Hotaru and Ryutaru can't come because they're busy Mikan went to Natsume. She pleaded and pleaded until Natsume decided to go shopping with her just to make her shut her mouth.

As Mikan was animatedly talking to Natsume she found a cute teddy bear on the shop's window.

"Waah...kawaii!!! Natsume look it's so cute!!!" Mikan said pointing at the white teddy bear holding a heart shape pillow to which Mikan found cute.

"Tch. So what?" Natsume asked.

"You don't care about this stuff??? I thought that you like cute teddy bears?" Mikan asked.

"Not anymore. I just realize that they're disgusting. Why do girls like them anyway?" Natsume said.

"Because they find it cute? And besides you also love cute teddy bears. Well anyway come on Natsume...let's buy the bear." Mikan said then they went inside the shop.

When they went inside the shop they went directly to the bear but it was so expensive. Mikan doesn't have enough money and so does Natsume. They left the shop with Mikan disappointed.

"It was such a cute teddy bear...too bad that I can't have it...I really like to have it. It must be the greatest thing that I can have." Mikan said mourning that she can't have the bear. And with that she started to sob.

"Hoi...crying again because you can't get the bear...tch!" Natsume said.

"You should at least do something to comfort me you know not making things worse." Mikan said while crying.

"Tch. Wait here." Natsume said then went away. When he came back he already have two ice creams in his hand.

"You pick what you like." Natsume said letting her choose.

"Aah! Natsume...you're so considerate. Hmm...of course chocolate!" Mikan said then Natsume handed her the chocolate flavor ice cream.

"Arigato Natsume...this cheers me up a little." Mikan said with her usual cheery smile.

"Don't be sad again baka...it makes you uglier." Natsume said while licking his ice cream.

"Meanie! Ahehehe...there's an ice cream on your face...ehehe…" Mikan laughed.

"Ano ne Natsume even though that tomorrow is the time for giving gifts demo...here it is!" Mikan said as she gave her gift to Natsume.

"But I don't have any in return. You must know that I didn't even buy a single Christmas present." Natsume said

"It's okay." Mikan said. "Come on...ikuzo."

-At present-

"Aah...Christmas is already tomorrow…I really can't wait for the party… too bad that there's no snow in here. It would be fun." Mikan said as she was preparing for the list that she will buy for Christmas.

"Ehee...it'll still be okay Mikan-chan. There are many things to enjoy in Philippines especially Christmas day." Ryutaru said.

"Ah...honto? Anyway where is Hotaru? I've been looking for her..." Mikan asked.

"Hotaru-chan? I remember that she went together with Ruka to buy Christmas gifts." Ryutaru said as he went near the window.

"Oh right! Let's go shopping for Christmas gifts Ryutaru-kun. It'll be fun! Ah! Let's invite Natsume-kun. Matte." Mikan said then she went to Natsume's room.

"Mikan-chan you're so sweet...Natsume's really lucky." Ryutaru thought. Then he heard Mikan pleading Natsume to come.

-In Natsume's room-

"Come on Natsume...it's just shopping...and besides you won't have anything to do anyway…come on!" Mikan plead.

"I don't like it." Natsume said.

"Fine! Then it'll be me and Ryutaru who will go shopping." Mikan said then started to get out of the room but Natsume when he heard that Ryutaru will come decided to come also.

"I'll go." Natsume said.

"Nani?! Natsume you will go with us?! YATTA!!!" Mikan cried and then she went back to her room.

"What the heck?! I'm not letting them go together. If they go together who knows what Ryutaru will do to polka." Natsume thought as he changes.

Then after Natsume change he waited outside then together with Ryutaru and Mikan they went to the nearby mall. Good thing that they've done a make-over of themselves that's why people don't really recognize them.

The atmosphere is filled with Christmas spirit and they were having fun shopping and Natsume even though that he didn't really do anything than scowl at how Ryutaru and Mikan were so close with each other was also having fun although he didn't show it.

Ryutaru then decided to buy Mikan a Christmas gift so he went into the shop leaving Mikan and Natsume. Natsume and Mikan still continue shopping because Mikan still need to find a gift for Hotaru but it slipped into her mind when they saw a teddy bear in the shop's window.

"Look Natsume! It's a cute teddy bear!!! Kawaii!!!" Mikan cried.

"..."

"Hey Natsume...I just suddenly remember the time when we also went shopping together and we saw a cute teddy bear. Do you remember it?" Mikan asked.

"..."

"Maybe you don't remember it demo I really like that teddy bear. It was so far the cutest teddy bear that I've ever seen. I really wanted it that badly."

"So you should have asked your parents to buy you that bear." Natsume said.

"Yeah...I asked for money to buy that bear but when I went there the sales lady already told me that somebody had already bought it. I really cried after that." Mikan said.

"..."

"But this time since I have already many money I can now buy this teddy bear!" Mikan said and they went inside to buy the bear.

When they went out of the shop Mikan was so happy to have the teddy bear. Then they meet up with Ryutaru and they went back to the hotel. When they arrive there they found Ruka and Hotaru wrapping gifts.

Just then Mikan suddenly remembered that she still hadn't bought any present for Hotaru so she decided to give the teddy bear a present since the mall already close.

"Bye bye!" Mikan said as she wraps the teddy bear with a sad face.

"You could buy another teddy bear...with that money of yours." Natsume said as she accompanies Mikan.

"Yeah...why am I so unlucky on teddy bears? I, for once hadn't had any teddy bear at all." Mikan whine.

"Maybe because they don't like you at all." Natsume said while Mikan started to sob

"Hoi...don't cry baka for the loss of the bear. You could buy another one as I said why are you still crying?" Natsume said.

"Nandemonai... I still remember that teddy bear." Mikan said as she wipes her tears. "You really love that teddy bear right?" Natsume asked.

"Of course." Mikan said.

"Well...I'll walk for a while." Natsume said.

"Hey don't forget that we'll have a party today Natsume." Mikan said.

"Wakata na yo." And with that he went away and Mikan still continue wrapping her gifts.

-Meanwhile-

"Can you deliver that here in the Philippines tonight?"

"Tonight?! Oni-san it's impossible!"

"I know demo just try to deliver it tonight."

"Ehh...so you're gonna give it to her now is it?"

"Just shut up and do what you are told. I'll be waiting." And with that Natsume hang up.

"Oh so Mr.-just-shut-up will now give it to her." Ruka said as he accompanies Natsume.

"I'll gonna be late for the party Ruka so just start without me. Just pretend that you didn't know where I'm going." Natsume said then went away.

-In the party-

"Sugoi Mikan-chan! You look so beautiful!" Ryutaru said.

"Ahhehehe...arigato Ryutaru!" Mikan said then she went towards Hotaru and Ruka who were chatting.

"Konban wa!" Mikan said to seek attention.

"Aah! Konban wa Mikan! You're so beautiful." Ruka said.

"Arigato!" Mikan said. "Ho-ta-ru you're so beautiful!!!" Mikan said as she went to hug Mikan but as usual BAKA BAKA BAKA

"Don't hug me baka!" Hotaru said as Ruka went to help Mikan.

"You're so mean Hotaru...just for now since its Christmas can I hug you?" Mikan asked.

"I don't know...now is everyone present?" Hotaru asked.

"Now that I think of it...Natsume isn't here." Ruka said as he pretends not to know where he is or unless he will be dead by Natsume.

"Oh yeah right...Natsume isn't here do you know where he is?" Ryutaru asked.

"Iie. I said to him that he should come in this party. Maybe...he really doesn't like to come to the party." Mikan said disappointed.

"Neh...I know Natsume...he'll surely come." Ruka said as he sees that Mikan was disappointed that Natsume wasn't in the party.

"Yeah...he'll surely come. Maybe he has any surprise or whatsoever. Let's just start without Natsume." Mikan said.

-Meanwhile-

"Grr...where is she? I'll gonna be late for the party." Natsume said as he was waiting for her sister to arrive.

"What's taking her so long?" Natsume thought.

"Natsume oni-san!!!!" someone cried.

"Finally! What's taking you so long Aoi? And what's that big luggage you have there?" Natsume asked.

"Well I'm here to deliver and also...I will take a vacation in here. That's what taking me so long...packing my things and everything." Aoi said smiling.

"Vacation...right what else would you always think." Natsume muttered.

"What you say oni-san." Aoi asked.

"Nothing. Let's go already. We don't know maybe the party already ended." Natsume said.

"If the party already ended then it will be more exciting." Aoi said happily.

"What's so exciting when the party already ended?" Natsume asked confused.

"You'll see...I'll help you with it. Now let's prepare for it already." Aoi said then they went away.

-Party-

"OOKAAY!!! Let's start exchanging gifts already!!!" Ryutaru cried.

"Demo...Natsume still isn't here." Mikan said worried that Natsume still isn't around.

"He'll be fine Mikan...(thinks) where is he anyway? He's really very late." Ruka said.

"Okay so I'll start giving my gifts." Hotaru said as she gave gifts to everyone.

After the party ended Natsume still didn't came and Mikan was really disappointed and at the same time angry and worried that he didn't came to the party. Mikan immediately went to her room. When she enters her room there was already a note in the floor.

"Come to the rooftop. No more questions." Mikan said as she reads the note. "Who could it be?" Mikan thought then she went to the rooftop as indicated.

When she opens the door the first thing she saw was a wonderful view of city lights. Not only is that since its Christmas so there are many Christmas lights and decors to add the wonderful view. Also the stars in the sky were so beautiful.

As she was amaze by the wonderful sight she saw a teddy bear in the desk that was also adorn beautifully.

"It's...it's...it's...It's that cute teddy bear." Mikan muttered and then she went to hug the teddy bear. The teddy bear that she really wanted to have all these years.

"Merry Christmas" someone said from behind her. Mikan knew that voice. That voice was so familiar that she burst out crying when she heard it.

"Na-Na-Natsume..." Mikan sob as she faces the person behind her and truly it really was Natsume.

"Did you...did you brought this teddy bear?" Mikan asked.

"More or less...who could else be? I'm the only one standing in front of you." Natsume said.

"So...you were the one who bought this teddy bear." Mikan said happily.

"Oh...yeah." Natsume said hesitantly.

"But...why did you give it to me only now?" Mikan asked curiously.

"Well...it's just that...ano..." Natsume muttered but he can't possibly tell it to her that he can't give it to her.

"It's okay. You can just keep it to yourself. Anyways arigato and...Merry Christmas." Mikan said happily.

And Natsume let out a sincere smile and together they watch the fireworks that he and his sister for the event.

Yeah it's done already! Anyways...MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!! I really intended this chapter just for Christmas. Anyways can you give me wonderful tourist spots or any wonderful places in the Philippines? Please...I really needed those places since they are not only here for their Christmas but also for a vacation. Remember Hotaru said that they'll be in the Philippines for a month. So it's probably because they have to spend their vacation in the Philippines.

Please give me any info or wonderful places in the Philippines. I know some places but I want you to give me your ideas and everything. Just send me those reviews, suggestions, ideas or anything. Thanks!

Merry Christmas!!!
