Chapter Nine
Mikan sighed and leaned against the back of her seat as loud ring echoed throughout the park, signaling the start of the Farris Wheel ride. After an hour of roaming around New York and trying to cool her self down, she had found herself once again in front of the amusement park. And not too soon after, the Farris Wheel ride.
She propped her feet up on the empty seat facing her and sighed. This time there was no Jason to come to her rescue; she would be alone on the ride, as it should be. "Sex, sex, sex, why is everyone throwing it in my face?" She wondered aloud. It was only one person, silly. That Steph wasn't real. She was just part of your imagination. Her consciousness screamed out at her. Mikan growled and glared at an imaginary tree. "Did Nat-kun have sex with Ashley?" She wondered, remembering the state she had found both teens in when she teleported to his rescue the previous weekend. "I don't think he would do that." Suddenly, the ride jerked violently. Raising her eyebrows, Mikan peered out of the glass window, watching as there was commotion all around. "Ne…what happened? Is the ride broken?"

Ruka sat in the middle of an empty room. The walls where a pale white, with chipped painting and evidence of burning. The room still smelt like fire, as if it had happened yesterday. The only object left was a halfway burned picture on the ground. Ruka picked it up and fingered it gently. Two girls where smiling into the camera, they looked about six or seven. A tear escaped from Ruka's eye as he lifted the photo to his nose and sniffed. It smelt of lavender, it smelt of his Hotaru.
Standing up with the picture, he walked out of the room, cursing Gakuen Alice. He took one last longing look, and then left Hotaru's old lab. He would be back again, soon. And hopefully, so would she

Natsume walked into the hotel suite, Yoichi following behind. As soon as he stepped out of the way, Yoichi ran past him and into his room.
"Michelle!" Natsume called out. When he got no answer he checked in all the rooms, which he found empty. "Michelle?" He tried again, just in case she was using the invisibility alice. A few moments later, Yoichi walked over to Natsume, dressed in a pair of sweats. "Why are you dressed like that?" He asked.
"Okaa-san takes me training after we get home." He said matter of factly, and Natsume groaned.
Where is Mikan? I don't know how to train this kid. Natsume thought sullenly. Why isn't she home anyway? I thought she would come straight home…
"Come on Otou-san, Okaa-san said that I can't go anywhere alone." Yoichi said heading towards the elevator.
"Kami-sama…" Natsume moaned, following shortly after.

"Senorita Ashley! Senorita Ashley! Wake up please!" Maria, Ashley's personal maid cried out frantically. She had been doing her rounds around the halls when she had come across Ashley passed out in the library.
Ashley stirred and opened the eyes, staring at the beautiful woman in front of her. "Who are you?" She asked sharply, sitting up. "And why are you in my house?"
Maria pulled away, taken aback. "I'm…I'm your maid, Maria, Senorita Ashley. I've been one since you where a little baby."
"Oh," Ashley said looking down. I don't remember her… not at all. "Lo siento, I must've hit my head a little too hard," She said, standing up. Ashley gave her an uneasy smile before heading towards the stairs.
"All is well, please fall asleep in your bed next time instead of the hallway floor." Maria scolded before walking away.
Ashley blinked. She really didn't remember this Maria character, even if she did seem familiar. What's happening to me? She wondered. I…I need to do something. I need to control something. She pulled out her cell phone, dialing a familiar number. "Hello Mariah? Did you know that when I was in the bathroom with that little wanna be Michelle? Yeah, well I found out that she-"
-x-
Mikan's eyes widened when she heard something snap from under the Farris Wheel. People all around her began screaming as the ride began tilting, and people on the ground rushed to hold it up. Oh my God. Oh my God, I'm going to die today. I'm too young to die, I'm still a virgin. I have a test tomorrow. I have to get back at Ashley. I have to see Hotaru and Ruka again… I'm too young to die! Suddenly, a shriek from her cell phone broke through her thoughts.
I just can't refuse it!
Like the way you do this!
Keep on rocking to it!
Please don't stop the music!
She frowned at the unfamiliar caller, but flipped open her cell phone anyway. "Hello?" She asked, her voice shaky.
"Michelle." A voice greeted.
"Jason?" Mikan asked startled. "How did you get my number?" She questioned.
"I have my ways."
"Listen… this isn't really the best time to talk…"
"You are in a position above the average human being…" Jason said, and Mikan gave a small laugh.
"Well yeah, I'm at the top of the Farris Wheel!" She exclaimed.
"My darling Mandarin Orange, focus. You could be the superhero that everyone needs. You are above the average human being…oh shit." Jason mumbled, and the line went dead. Mikan look startled at the phone.
"What does he mean… higher than the average human being? The person who told me that was…Permy." Mikan said, her eyes widening in realization. "When we where going off to rescue…oh my…" Mikan closed her eyes…and turned invisible.
-x-
Jason spun around in surprise when he felt a hand on his shoulder. He was ready to knock whomever it was unconscious when he saw bright green eyes staring at him.
"Jason what are you doing here…" Stephanie trailed off as her eyes rolled back to her head and her knees locked, sending her towards the ground. Jason snapped his cell phone shut and caught the girl, cradling her in his arms.
"Ah… what's your name?" Jason asked, gently slapping her cheeks. "Shelby? Samantha? Stephanie…yeah, Stephanie wake up!" He tried, but Stephanie was unresponsive. He took her pulse, releaved to know that she was just unconscious, why, well he didn't know… yet. He ran towards of the entrance of the park, with her still in his arms, her hair flying along beside them. "Taxi!" He called, and soon one pulled up and he gave his address before glancing down at the girl in his arms. Sighing, he brushed a side bang away. "You are a very gorgeous girl…" He trailed off, frowning. His thumb brushed over her cheek, almost caressing it. His hand glowed a little before he pulled back. "Miss. Stephanie Danielle Rothschild."
-x-
Once she turned invisible, Mikan climbed on top over her little car, surveying the damage. Below her, there was a large group of people, trying their best to keep the Farris Wheel steady. Her eyes locked on a few hundred yards down and she sighed deeply before running… and jumping off of the Farris Wheel. Oh… I hope I make this…She thought. Focus Mikan…let's go mission mode…She chided, and her face went emotionless as she activated her float alice, landing gracefully on the tree. She stared at the Farris Wheel blankly. Alice of Wind… keep the Wheel balanced. The wheel swayed back and forth before, standing straight on the ground. The people looked up bewildered as the attendant began using the manual lever and letting the people off of the ride.

"Father, please just let me go." Jason pleaded, looking into the cold eyes of Elliot Winston.
"Why?" Elliot demanded. "I don't understand why I have to send you alone in New York City to do only God knows what."
"I'll be going to one of the best schools in New York." Jason countered. "And I told you, I need to go there on personal business. It's really important."
"And this business…" Elliot trailed off with a far away look. His eyes connected with his son's. He stood straight in front of his father, emotionless and waiting for his consent. "Involves a young lady." He accused, and Jason nodded curtly. "Do you… do you even love this girl enough to run off to America."
"I've grown to love her very much, father." Jason said truthfully.
"Be careful when you go," Elliot grunted. "I don't want the government finding out about you… abilities and taking you away."
"Is that a yes sir?" Jason asked.
"You leave tomorrow."
Stephanie sat up abruptly her eyes struggling to readjust in the dark. What was that dream? She wondered. Why would I dream about… "Jason." She said aloud, her voice raspy from sleep.
"So you're awake." A voice said, Stephanie looked up, only just then noticing the young man sitting across from her. Jason stood up from the chair and sat on the side of the bed, eyeing Stephanie intently. His amber eyes where as vibrant as when she first saw them, burning through her soul. Her throat went dry, and she swallowed, feeling as though she was trying to swallow an extra large ice cube. She tore her eyes away from him, looking for any excuse to look away. It was then she remembered that she wasn't in her town house.
"Jason…what am I doing here?" She questioned, motioning around her. "Better yet… where is here?"
"My hotel suite." Jason answered, Stephanie's eye brow lifted.
"You live at the Palace too?" She asked, and Jason just stared. "H-Hey Jason?" Stephanie didn't know why she was like this, fumbling and stumbling all over the place. Stephanie was generally a confident person, able to hold in every conversation. But with Jason, it was different. She felt like talking but just couldn't. It was too hard.
"Yes?"
"What business do you have in New York that girl you're obsessed with?" Stephanie asked, and Jason's eyes narrowed.
"What?" He hissed, and Stephanie shrunk backwards.
"It's nothing…in my dream you where talking to your dad and said that your business involves the girl that you love…" She said meekly.
"You're an alice. A memory snatcher, I suppose…" Jason stated, and Stephanie raised an eyebrow.
"What's an alice?" Stephanie inquired, and Jason shook his head.
"Tomorrow, go to your friend Michelle when you're alone, and ask her to take away your alice." He said, standing up.
"Why?"
"Because having an alice will take you away from everything you've ever known. You'll have the government and a bunch of looney bins after you. It's a superpower, and sure it can help out a lot of people. But it causes nothing but trouble." Jason stated.
"But-"
"Go to sleep." Jason ordered. "And stop asking questions. He said, walking towards the door.
"Jason…?"
"What?" Jason asked, exasperated. He turned around and glared at her, as if daring her to ask yet another question.
"Thanks for taking care of me…and all. It was really… nice." Stephanie said honestly. Jason smirked before walking out of the room.
"Goodnight Stephanie."
-x-
Mikan walked in the hotel suite at 11:30, her head throbbing. She had never tried to use her alice for that long before, and she had to admit that it was pretty painful. She just wanted to go straight to bed. She stumbled over to her room, flicking on the light. She tossed her key on the bed and pulled her uniform off before turning towards her bed… and shrieking.
"Oh God!" She yelled. "Make a noise! Are you trying to give me a heart attack Nat-kun! Jeez!"
Natsume lay on her bed, his upper body propped up by her pillows. "Where were you watermelons?" He demanded. Mikan rolled her eyes.
"Saving innocent lives. Is that okay with you?" She asked, sitting on the bed. She lazily kicked his leg, irritated. "And don't call me by my underwear prints."
"It's your fault for showing me." Natsume countered.
"Why where you in my room anyway?" Mikan asked, sliding under the covers. She fiddled with the end of her pajama shorts.
"You didn't come home after you left school." He stated, and Mikan turned to him with watery eyes.
"You care about me?" Mikan asked, sitting up. Natsume pulled her so that she was straddling his lap. He tucked a strand of hair behind her ear.
"Hn."
"Oh Natsume I care about you too!" Mikan exclaimed, squeezing him. Natsume rolled his eyes before capturing her lips in a sweet kiss. He started to kiss down her neck and Mikan giggled, her hands moving under his shirt. Natsume sucked in a sharp breath and he pulled away. "…Natsume?"
"Don't start something you can't finish." He said, and Mikan grew confused.
"Nani?" She questioned. Natsume reached over and turned off the light, a small smile on his face.
"Go to sleep, it's late." He demanded. Mikan slipped underneath the covers.
"Goodnight…Nat-kun."
"Sleep well, Polka dots."
