A/N: hey guys! I am so sorry! I am not going to be able to reply to your reviews because this laptop is defective and when I transfer it to the one that does have, it doesn't have a writing program. It's annoying I know but thank you for all the reviews. I remember one who was asking something and the fact is, Natsume was the one who went out with Mikan and Ruka was the one who made him promise. By the way, nobody answered last week's question. I'll still post a question.

Send in funny quotes, the funnier the better.

Recap

"You didn't have to do that you know." She said since she felt sort of guilty.

"I wanted to." He said as they finished after her waiting for his reply for a few minutes and he did as she was about to give up, he did.

"Why?" she had to ask Ruka if he did this to everyone's he's dated. That would be very expensive.

"Because you deserve all of it and more." He said as he closed the door to his hotel door leaving her there dumbfounded.

End of Recap

She stared at the ceiling for about an hour now, still not being able to comprehend what had happened. She remembered her vow not to fall for a player since they were all talk but in the end, will leave you heartbroken and their contentment is never filled.

It just couldn't happen. She was starting to like him and if she didn't control herself, she was going to end up falling for the one guy she promised never to.

After a few more minutes of daydreaming, her eyes finally collapsed to her contentment, tomorrow was going to be a long day for both of them.

He woke up to the alarm as he turned it off and got off to take a shower. He had slept so peacefully that night for the first time in a few months. He just felt so rested and content. He remembered all the events that had transpired throughout the week, he was now a bit more confident knowing that she was the type who didn't dwell much as he wore a Hurley shirt, cargo pants and dunks.

He went down and saw her with Ruka looking the same as usual if not a bit more happier as she was wearing a yellow summer dress with white leggings underneath with Converse flats and her hair clipped to the side.

"Hey."

"Hey Natsume." Ruka greeted.

"HI." She said a bit timidly. Natsume was wrong when he said she didn't dwell, she so did.

They ate in silence but this time Ruka decided it would be better if she left the two alone. They were a bit too immature and they needed too figure out these things on their own. They rode the bus and Natsume for the first time hated the silence,

"Are you okay?"

"Yeah."

"Why the sudden awkwardness?"

"Sorry, my mind's just in the mood for spacing out." She said scratching her head.

"Okay..?" he said as they got off, barely speaking to one another. At least he knew it wasn't just him, for the rest of the day MIkan was a bit more kept and all.

By the end of the day, she finally came to her senses and apologized to everyone. She ate a quick dinner then went back to her room suddenly remembering something. She brought out her notebook and wrote,

Hey, it's been a long time I know but I felt like I needed a release for all the pent up feelings I have without shouting since that will only cause a riot. These past few days have been amazing but I feel that it's somehow for the worst. I promised myself to never fall for someone who's known to be a heartbreaker but here I am anxious to see if he's really changed.

I can't help it. When you have the feeling knowing you changed someone for the better, you'd like the feeling… a lot. It was all his fault! Why did he have to be so charming and know just how to get me. The song he dedicated was just music to anyone's ears, especially if it was dedicated to you. He just left me so nervous and I've been so different today, my mind was all over the place, even Natsume noticed.

What do I do? He's got me, whether I like it or not.

Signing off XOXO, Mikan

She closed it and went out to see Natsume about to knock.

"Hey." She said staring as if the floor were the most interesting thing.

"I wanted to see if you were doing better."

"Sorry, I'm a bit off I know."

"Yeah you were."

"What? You were supposed to say 'Really, I didn't notice. You looked to beautiful for anyone to notice that'" she said jokingly.

"Oh yeah?" he said smirking.

"Just when you could pick up on social cues. I'm so disappointed." She said sarcastically.

"Whatever."

"You want to go in?" she asked to avoid anyone hearing them then spreading one of those wildfire rumors.

"Sure." He stepped inside and saw that she made a few improvements. The white walls now had a border of a two tone of orange and purple. The bed now had polka dot sheets.

"The room is so you." He remarked.

"Is that a bad thing?" she asked.

"Not really but I definitely wouldn't want this to be my room, it' too… girly."

"What? You think you're all manly. I'm not girly!"

"Oh yeah, sure." He said.

"Was that sarcasm I just heard?"

" never made it to be." He said smirking once again.

"Hey." She said hitting him in the shoulder.

"That hurt me so bad."

"Good." She said not noticing the sarcasm in his tone.

They sat down in the couch and turned the television on. They remembered that there was no cable but found some dvds underneath the TV.

"What movies are there?" Mikan asked as Natsume was the one who stood up. Knowing that she'd pick the chick flick, he decided not to tell her that there were.

"The Grudge and some boring but bloody action movie." He said.

"Why are there only two?"

"How should I know?" actually these were the only two he'd be okay with watching.

"Um, the boring one?" Nah, he was only fine with the Grudge.

"It doesn't have a cd inside." He stated, pretending to open it.

"Can't we ask for it at the receptionist?" she said a bit desperately which made him notice and made him smirk inwardly.

"That'd be wasting time, let's just watch this one."

"O-okay." She said unsurely. He inserted the disc and sat down beside her. He barely saw her as she covered her whole body with a blanket except for her face and had a pillow at her chest.

"How are you going to watch with all that cover? Wait, don't tell me you 're scared?" he said challenging her with her tone.

"Of course not!" she said justifying herself even if she knew she was lying to herself.

"Then watch, with no cover." He said knowing she wouldn't back down.

"Fine; it's a dare." And he was right.

"Alright, now shut up. It's starting."

The start she was a bit okay but as things were getting scarier, he noticed her hands clutching the sofa and smirked; it wasn't going to be long before she backed down. A few minutes, something popped surprisingly.

"Ah!" she shouted and covered her eyes.

"No cover." He reminded her. She took it off and she looked so stiff but she refused to give up; she wanted to finish the movie with some of her dignity intact; she would've kept more of it if she had just backed out but she was too dense to realize that.

For a few minutes, not much happened so she calmed down a bit then something surprising came out again and this time to both of their surprise, she clung to his arm and buried herself in fright. She didn't notice at first and Natsume was too shocked to speak. He hated the fact that he had gotten much closer with other girls but with her, it felt too much or at least enough to make him stiffen and almost blush. He never came close to that.

"Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry but it's your fault for wanting to watch the movie." She stated trying to cover her humiliation and embarrassment.

"You covered again, you lose." He said in a matter of fact voice.

"Fine." She quickly agreed and grabbed the blanket again only realizing now what she should've a long while ago before she did that. She buried herself into the pillow as she was blushing.

The rest of the movie was filled with some screams of her in some parts and Natsume's ears getting deafer per scream she released. The movie finally finished as Mikan stood up to pee to release the fright that had remained in her. He stood up to drink water.

"I'll put the cd back, okay?" she told him.

"Whatever." He replied forgetting one small thing.

"There were non-horror movies?" she shouted as she put it back. He cursed in his mind for letting it escape it in his mind knowing that now, he was good as deaf.

"I didn't notice." He said even if he knew she wouldn't buy it.

"Why didn't tell me there were rom-coms?"

"Because I hate those." He stated.

"I hate you." She told him.

He waited for another rant.

"But thank you." She told him which he was so surprised to hear.

"Why?"

"Because I really needed to scream." She said. "That doesn't mean I liked what you did either." She went to him and flicked her finger to his forehead.

"Ow."

"It was supposed to hurt." She said.

"I'm leaving."

"Good Night!"

He went out rubbing his forehead but let out a semi-smile remembering her actions during the movie. Great, he looked like a fool for smiling at nothing. What was she doing to him?

"The houses were almost finished." Tom stated as they stared in wonder at how fast it happened.

"But that only means, transferring to a farther part of the island and starting from scratch." Their group mate remarked.

"Yeah, but at least we'll help more people." Mikan said optimistically. She was back to her normal self.

"That's right, positive thinking." Tom said.

They were already painting the houses. They looked sturdy enough to last a storm. Natsume's group was also productive because they barely spoke to one another because the girl has been in depressed mode after the dedication of the song to Mikan so they concentrated to what they were doing. They were also painting, each assigned with one side of the house.

Ruka's group was not doing so well. Two of them had gone sick so there were only two of them so they gave it their full effort.

They all went for a lunch break and grabbed the food containers which had sushi. They sat at the long table as Mikan was seated between Natsume and Tom.

"How's your group doing?" Mikan asked.

"Good, we're finishing up." He said. He felt better now that he had his own space, he was fine with silence.

"Great. This is really fun. I don't regret going here at all." She said biting into her California maki.

"Yeah, it's been a fun experience. It's great that we're all within the same age range so we can talk to one another and it's easier to make friends."

"Exactly." Mikan agreed.

The two talked animatedly as Natsume and Ruka conversed a bit more quietly.

"You and Mikan seem to be getting along well…. really well." Ruka implied.

"Yeah, so?"

"Natsume just…" he paused thinking of the exact term to use. "don't play with her. She's innocent and she's good for you."

"Good for me?"

"Well, you're not playing with that fangirl are you now?"

"Yeah, I guess."

"I don't want you to mess this up. You guys are good for each other."

"I'll try not to."

"I guess that's the best I can hope for."

The break was over and they finished up and Mikan and Natsume's group ended a bit earlier than the others so they helped Ruka's and they ended up in time, thankfully. They got dropped back and Natsume went out for a little while to buy some stuff for his suite. He passed the jewelry shop again and he saw a new arrival sign on the window and it was a matching necklace to the bracelet. He went inside to be met by the man again.

"You're back."

"Yeah, I came for the necklace."

"I'm sorry I still displayed it. Someone already reserved it." He said apologetically. That just wouldn't do.

"I'll pay for it at a higher price." He offered.

"Sorry sir, it's on a first come, first serve basis. This has been on display starting yesterday. If you want, you can bargain it with the one who reserved it. He said he'll be picking it up around this time." Just in time, the door opened.

"Ah, that's him."

Natsume turned around to see Tom.

"You're the buyer?"

"You want the necklace too? For who?"

"Mikan."

"I guess it does fit her well. I was supposed to buy it for her."

"Why?"

"I saw she had the matching bracelet so I thought it would be a perfect goodbye gift."

"Dude, can I have it? I'll pay for it with interest."

"I'm going to tell you this once and hope you don't punch me in the face or do something worse; I like her and I've decided to court her."

Unfortunately, Natsume didn't comply since next thing he knew, Tom had a black eye.
