me: Hey everyone! I'm sorry for not updating for a long time...
Hotaru: That was indeed a long time..
me: Gomenasai, I just got busy with high-school life and many things
Mikan: It's okay! At least you're trying your best to spare time for updating!
me: Arigato, Mikan-chan! Thank you for understanding...well...I'm guilty that I forgot to put disclaimers so...
who wants to do it?
Ruka: I'm glad to help! Here it goes...natsumikan383 do not own GAKUEN ALICE and Westlife...
me: The world is too cruel for me...Can I borrow Natsume and Nicky Byrne?
Natsume: Hurry up will you
me: Hai! This is natsumikan383 signing in!
Previously...
Why don't we have an open forum? So we can tell more about ourselves, our pasts and our alices!" Mikan said.
The five lads sat down with Mikan and looked at each other. "Why not?" but only four lads said...
CHAPTER 8
Getting to know the Lads
"Can I introduce myself first?" Bryan asked. "Of course!" Mikan cheerfully said. "The name's Bryan McFadden. I love to sing, dance and I play football" he said. "My bandmates call me Bry or by my surname...hm...what else? I'm known as the one who jokes a lot" he said. "Ano...Bryan, can you play some intsruments?" Mikan asked. "Yes, I bet he can do everything...even serious things, but most especially funny things" Shane said.
"Yup! I play the guitar and piano!" Bryan replied. "What about your alice?" Mikan asked. "I have the super x-ray vision...I can even see through you!" Bryan said. With this, Mikan quickly covered her chest...(a/n: as if there's something to see)
"Don't worry, Mikan. This bad guy is just scaring you. He can't see through you because he's equipped with a device that temporarily paralise his alice when he looks at human cloth" Shane said while smiling.
"Arigato for telling me" Mikan said. "How about you introuduce yourself, Shane?" Nicky said. "Okay...I am Shane Filan. Please call me Shane...my hobby is horseback riding...I love horses...that's why I love my alice!" Shane said.
"And that is?" Mikan asked with a glint of curiousity in her eyes.
"I have the Horse Pheromone. I attract horses and I can even talk to them!" Shane said.
"Eh? That's weird but a nice alice at the same time!" Mikan said. "At this rate, I should introduce myself now. I'm Nicky Byrne. My true name's a bit longer so...I won't mention it anymore. Anyways, everyone close to me calls me Nix or Nicky. But you can call me by my surname, too!" he said. Mikan nodded and smiled. "And, Kian?" she said.
"I'm Kian Egan with the wind alice. I love performing on stage, having a night out with the lads and being in Westlife" he said. "May people just call me with my surname or call me Ki" he said.
"Well, it's my turn!" Mikan cheerfully said. The five lads or boys nodded. "Hai! I already introduced myself earlier so I'll just talk about myself more!" she added.
"You guys, call me Mikan, I have the Nullification Alice--" Mikan said but before she comtinued, Bryan spoke. "Nullification, huh? Never heard of that, must've been a rare alice...what can you do with it?" Bryan asked.
"Well, I'm 10 years old. They say my smile is my best asset...I came here to follow my bestfriend, Hotaru but ended up studying here as well. My parents left me when I was young so my grandfather was the one who raised me...that's all! Mark, it's your turn!" Mikan said to Mark just to escape from Bryan's question. She's hiding something...Bryan thought.
"Um...me?" he said nervously. Mikan smiled sweetly and nodded. "O-okay...well...about me...umm...I love singing...I can play the piano and the guitar too" Mark said. Mikan nodded. "Sugoi! So, what's your alice?" she asked. "My alice.." Mark hesitated and Nicky was worried for his friend. "Mark, are you ok? I can tell her your alice if you like..." Nicky suggested.
"No...I was too scared to face the truth...that this was my alice...this time, I'm gonna be proud of it!" Mark said with courage in his eyes. "That's good!" Nicky said. While Mikan had no idea what was going on.
"I...have...an alice called...The Alice of Growth!" Mark stood up and said.
Everyone sweatdropped.
"Too much fighting spirit can make you over react sometimes..." Shane whispered to Kian. "Yeah right" Kian replied and laughed. Mark noticed that he was standing there for a long time and realized how he over reacted. He sat down while his face was REALLY red of embarassment.
"Eto...Alice of growth? What's that?" the innocent little girl asked. Mark fell down anime style. "If you have the alice of growth, you can change yourself to any age you want...I can make myself a child or an old man if I like..." Mark said proudly. "Really? That's a nice alice! I hope I have that kind of Alice...demo...why does Kian call it a useless alice?" Mikan asked.
Mark bowed down. His eyes were covered by his hair. He looked dead serious. Then he spoke. "It's because of this alice...no one knows...even me...how old I really am" Mark said in a serious tone.
SILENCE
"Nani?! You don't know how old are you now?!" Mikan said, breaking the silence. "Yup, that's why I hate to talk about my alice...because it is the reason...to all of my sufferings..." Mark said still in a serious tone.
Mikan was shocked upon what she heard. But later, she smiled..."Don't ever blame your alice about your sufferings...you didn't have the chance to choose your alice, and so does your alice. Everyone is unique in their own way. Maybe, that is the special thing in you that nobody else can have or steal away from you..." Mikan said. (a/n: that was too mature of her, don't you think?) Mark held his head up.
For the first time, his bandmates saw him smile. "Thanks, Mikan. Now I know...I'll always remember what you said" Mark said. "That's right...your alice can be helpful...if you use it the right way...unlike my alice..." Mikan's eyes saddened while her own words stabbed her like a knife.
"Mikan?" Mark said in a worried face.
"Bryan asked me a while ago, what can I do with my alice...the nullification alice nullifies any alice...and I won't be affected..." Mikan said in a serious tone."But...I can't even protect the ones I love..." she said as tears filled her eyes.
"So we feel the same thing after all..." Mark said.
"Huh?" Mikan stopped crying. She smiled sweetly. "Arigato ne, for cheering me up" she replied and everyone smiled. That afternoon, they shared stories and jokes. They all had a great time...
