ALTERNATE ENDING #1: KOKO

Recap:

'I'll do my best to win you back,' Natsume thought, gritting his teeth. Physically, he'd lost to Koko. Emotionally, he didn't know yet. That was up to Mikan. Natsume left.

"Koko, you do know that you know me best right? You might have a hint of what my final decision is," Mikan turned to Koko as soon as Natsume left.

"I know, Mi-chi. I'll support your decision no matter what it is," Koko replied.

Mikan hugged Koko. "You've done everything for me. Natsume hasn't done much, and yet he's captured my heart as well. That's not fair..."

Koko looked away, "So you're choosing him?"

"I never said that, silly!" Mikan giggled. "There'll be two days before my final decision!"

"This isn't a game, Mikan... Feelings are at risk here. Deep ones," Koko sighed, leaving Mikan alone.

"W-wait!" Mikan exclaimed, a hurt expression upon her face. Her outstretched hand went back to her sides as she looked down. "In the end, I just can't choose..."

Chapter 22: Love Rivalries and Gods (Koko)

Two days have passed... Mikan had made her choice. She knew who she was truly in love with all along. She wasn't blind...

It was just to make it more entertaining for Hoshi and Sakura who'd helped her all this time. But... feelings were being hurt and crushed... She couldn't wait any longer.

She called for Natsume and Koko to meet up in her dimension.

"But Koko is the one that's really giving me the hope. The moon doesn't emit light by itself. The light is provided from the sun. Koko is always behind Natsume, ready to help me if Natsume can't. Koko is truly... the one I love," Mikan said. "I'm sorry... but after I learned what you've done while I was gone... it hurts. Too much."

"Mikan," Koko smiled, reaching out for her hand.

"Natsume... I know. You wanted me to come back and you didn't know what to do anymore... You needed to calm down. The only way was to find other girls to play with. But... I can't accept that," Mikan said. "I think I love you, Natsume... but if this is how you're going to be, I choose Koko... I love him more. He's been here for me since forever. Please... You have to understand me. Koko and I were made for each other. It's destiny."

"That's unacceptable," Natsume growled.

Koko stood in front of Mikan, protecting her. "She's chosen me. You have nothing to do with her anymore."

"Yeah... Hoshi and Sakura... they said... no matter what, any ending with you would've turned out bad. Because... you abused me in the end. They said Koko provided me happiness... They said I had to make the right choice. And I know that the right choice is Koko! You'd have a bad influence on me," Mikan said.

'Excuse me?' Koko communicated with his lover in their minds.

'You're excused.'

'No, um, didn't your siblings provide bad enough influence?'

'OH come on, I'm doing this because I love you! I have to give reasons... although I truly have none. If you weren't everything I said I loved you for anymore, then that should mean I wouldn't love you anymore. But I will love you forever, no matter what.'

'Awwww, stop it Mikan!'

'I will.'

'Nooo, I do want you to keep complimenting me!'

"Nah. I've done enough.'

'MIKANNNN'

"No!" Mikan pouted. Koko and she had a pouting contest, but then they were both hit on the head by Natsume.

"Fine.. I'll give up. But if you ever make her cry or hurt her, I will sweep her off her feet. Because I can," Natsume sighed in defeat. He could see the two were madly in love with each other. He would not interfere with true love.

A few years later, Mikan and Koko were living together up in Heaven, monitoring Earth with Hoshi, Sakura and her husband, Syaoran Li.

Mikan and Koko were acting lovey dovey with each other as was Syaoran and Sakura, while Hoshi was pouting, feeling left out.

"GUYS, WE'RE SUPPOSED TO WORK!" Hoshi whined.

"Go get yourself a boyfriend..." Mikan snorted.

"Go get yourselves a room," Hoshi glared playfully.

Koko turned out to be the God of Manipulation. Mikan asked him to erase Natsume's memories of loving Mikan. Koko did, but even so he regretted it. Because Natsume would lose approximately a half of him.

But Mikan told him it was fine. It was for the best. And Natsume would be getting himself a girlfriend anyway- Luna! The two worked hard playing matchmaker to make Luna heal Natsume's wounds and then after they got together, Koko erased Natsume's memories of loving Mikan. They were happy that they' d caused happiness, instead of sadness. Because when they first started controlling their powers, it went all over the place, killing some people randomly. Hoshi was upset, because they were all innocent people. She scolded Koko and Mikan.

When Koko and Mikan are not monitoring Earth, they go back to their mansion on Earth.

Mikan and Koko had created the mansion on a private beach nobody has ever come across, and now it is the Yome property.

Mikan had three children, who she loved equally. She had two sons and a daughter, Rise, Derek and Jackie. The Yome Mansion is located in America, as they didn't want to have any recollection of Gakuen Alice and the memories there. It would bring tears to Mikan's eyes remembering the hearts she broke, the friends she lost, the other past...

But Koko has given Mikan the gift of eternal happiness.

Forever Koko and Mikan shall stay looking 19... because they are both gods. Their children will die... but two will survive. Rise for sure... and one of her overprotective brothers who both have forbidden feelings for her...

Who the boy is, they've no idea.

But Mikan is sure that she made the right choice, because she was happy now, happy before and she has seen the future. She will never again shed a tear, unless it's for the death of her family. Never again will she become cold, cruel and mean.

Never again will she become A Different Mikan.

None of the endings are related to each other. So say if Hoshi said Koko could never make Mikan happy, in an alternate ending, he might be the only one who can ;)
