And then she gets all confused when it comes to love thing. And then when Ruka talks to Natsume, he tells him to go to the dance and Mikan would probably want her 'last dance', but then he disagrees and tells Ruka she'd probably want to dance with him instead and go on until the host announces that the next last dance will be between Hotaru and Mikan. So I guess Natsume and Ruka can be characterized as SELFLESS when it comes to love and their "competition" for the same girl. Ahehehe… just a thought… üüü
P.s.: I also love tsubasa-misaki pairing! Aheheh… I thought they were a couple when I first saw them on the episode where misaki was cutting tsubasa's hair and then she punches her head. (I wasn't able to watch the first 4 episodes… TT )
i don't own gakuen alice...
Thoughts
"Yay! We're going to Central Town!" Mikan said as she danced her way to the bus.
"Mikan, we're shooting a movie, not going sight seeing," Hotaru told her.
"I know. But I just feel so happy today! I can't help it!" she replied, happily looking outside the bus windows like it was just her first time going there. When they arrived at Central Town, they got started immediately, but three hours had passed and still…
"Mikan, all I filmed is you tripping over a rock, you forgetting your part, you getting your skirt burned, you splashing yourself with water, you running around still burning, and you getting hit on the head with my Horseshoe Glove,' Hotaru said, putting down her videocam.
"I'm so sorry, Hotaru!" Mikan pleaded, bowing her head. "I promise it won't happen again!"
"Never mind. I guess idiots like you just can't do things like these. I'm taking a break," Hotaru said, turning back and walking away from their set.
"I'm leaving too," Natsume said, having grown tired of doing nothing for hours, just setting Mikan on fire and watching her fail over and over again. "Lets go, Ruka." And of course, Ruka followed.
"I'll meet you back here at 4:00 p.m.," Hotaru called after the two boys before she herself went away.
"Hey, Hotaru, wait up!" Mikan ran to her friend and stopped beside her best friend when she caught up. "Where are you going?" she asked, but Hotaru ignored her and just walked past her. Mikan watched her walk past by but ran again and stopped and asked her friend.
"Hey, Hotaru, where are you going?" again, the same thing happened.
"Hey, Hota-ACK!" she tripped once more, but stood up immediately, determined to catch up with her best friend. This time, Hotaru asked and faced her.
"You leave me with no choice."
"Wha-NO!" She screamed and fell to the ground, her hands over her head.
BAKA! BAKA! BAKA!
"I have no time for idiots like you," she said, walking out and having no second thoughts. 'Mikan,' she thought, 'I'm already doing this for you, and I know you're not that stupid enough to not notice what I'm doing.' Mikan stood up, brushed the dirt off her skirt and watched her Hotaru walk away.
'I guess I'll have to go with Natsume and Ruka then,' she thought as she, too, walked away from their set.
'But I'll bet Natsume will just push me away.'
'He always tells me to not get too close to him.'
'As if I would! He's always like that!'
'Always calling me "Little Girl" or "Idiot" or "Polka-dots"'
'Hotaru also calls me an idiot, but I know she doesn't mean to. She is my friend after all.'
'But then, why does Natsume affect me so much? Could it be that…'
"No way, Mikan! Stop imagining things!" she told herself, hitting her head with both hands alternately, and then trips and falls to the ground. She must be lucky this time, having her hands support her fall and not face-flat again.
"Watch where you're going, Polka-dots," said an annoyed voice. She sat upright and looked behind her. Natsume was seated under a tree and his back, against it, reading a manga. His other leg was extended, which was possibly why Mikan tripped.
"Oh, Natsume! I'm sorry." She stood up, not knowing where to go, so she just went behind the tree, opposite to where Natsume was.
'What's she doing now?' Natsume thought to himself.
"Hey, Natsume?" Mikan asked.
"What?" came Natsume's reply.
"Can I stay here? I've got nowhere to go."
"Do whatever you like," Natsume answered.
"Thanks." Mikan sat down, wrapping her arms around her legs and tucking her chin between her knees. 'This is nice,' she thought, enjoying the tranquility of the surroundings. 'At least we're fighting like we always do. In fact, I'm really enjoying his company now…'
'Her company's not that bad, though she seems quiet,' Natsume thought. 'There must be something going on.'
"Hey, Little Girl, what's your problem?" Natsume asked.
"Huh? Problem? What problem?" Mikan asked him back.
"That's what I'm asking you. You're not making your noise this time."
"Noise? What noise?"
"Your loud voice."
Mikan pouted when she heard this. 'When Natsume's being nice, he suddenly acts like a jerk. He's doing this on purpose…' "Oh, no problem really," she said. "I just don't know where to go. I always enjoy Central town, but I enjoy it less when I'm alone. And besides, I think I like this peace," she finished, smiling.
'Glad you're enjoying it. at least we're not biting each other's heads off,' Natsume thought as he flipped the page of his manga.
'This is the perfect timing, you should tell her!' said the voice inside his head.
'You again! Will you just shut up! I've got nothing to tell her!'
'LIAR! Do it now before Ruka does, or you're going to regret it!' replied the voice.
'What if she'll reject me? What if she thinks I'm lying? What if she doesn't believe me?'
'The point is, at least she knows that you love her!'
'Right. After doing all those things to her? She'll definitely believe that I LIKE her.'
'Oh, that's really funny.'
He sighed. He was really tired of having to fight his own thoughts. Whether he was going to tell her or not, he didn't know. But what if Ruka really did tell her first? And then it turns out the she liked him too?
'I guess, as long as they're happy, I'm happy too.'
"Oh yeah, Natsume, where's Ruka by the way?" Mikan suddenly asked.
'Ruka? She must be reading my mind,' he thought.
"I thought he left with you. What happened to him?"
"Dunno," Natsume calmly answered. "He chased his rabbit and never came back after that."
"Oh," she replied.
"If you're really in need of him, why don't you look for him—"
"Why don't you come with me then?" Mikan asked him, standing up and extending out her hand, smiling.
"—Strawberries," he finished, looking the opposite direction. It took a while before Mikan could fully understand what he meant, and when she did…
"NATSUME! HOW DARE YOU, YOU PERVERT! I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU SAW—" she cried out.
"You should really consider wearing shorts you know," Natsume said coolly, amidst her ranting.
"—I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU!"Mikan continued. She turned her back on Natsume.
"Hey, it's not my fault your skirt flipped up," he told her.
"I'm going to look for Ruka," she said, and started walking away. "Pervert," she told him.
"Ugly," he replied back.
Putting down the manga, he watched as the figure of the brunette faded from his view. 'So, is it really Ruka then?' he asked himself. He knew after all that Ruka likes her too, but he never really got mad at his friend, only a bit jealous sometimes, but those were times when he just couldn't help himself, like when he threw that apple when they almost kissed. But there are also other times when he gave way for them.
'He deserves her after all. She doesn't deserve someone like me.'
He knew Mikan would never like him back after all those things he's done. He knew she hated him for calling her names, for being the Pervert that he was. He knew she enjoyed Ruka's company more than his. But what he doesn't know is that…
"Why did she leave?" a blond boy whispered. He was somewhat crouched behind a bush, together with a certain raven-haired girl, who just happened to hit his head with the Horseshoe Glove.
"It's because of you, you idiot. She went looking for you," she replied. "Aren't you glad they didn't kill each other?"
"Ouch! Did you really have to—" and then he covered his mouth with his own hands, remembering what situation they were in. he looked at Natsume who seemed to have noticed the presence of other people.
"He heard us you idiot," Hotaru said.
"What do we—ACK!" Hotaru pushed him out of the bush and into Natsume's view before he could even finish. He felt that his bunny jumped away from his arms before it could have been crushed under his weight.
"Hey," Natsume said.
"Oh, Natsume, h-hey!" Before he could think of the perfect excuse, his bunny hopped back to him, and then he blurted out, "There you are!" His bunny just stared at him in confusion.
"Hm," was Natsume's answer.
"Hey, Natsume, we ought to be going back. It's nearly four o'clock," Ruka said.
"Sure," he replied, standing up and left with Ruka.
madoka-san: ahehehehe… well, there'll be a lot more happenings in the next chapters… it'll be the climax. This is just the 'boring part'…
mikan: it's not boring at all!
natsume: especially the part where cat-dog girl threw the book on her head.
mikan: hey, that wasn't funny!
hotaru: who said anything about funny?
madoka-san: sorry it took me long to update! I was busy with trying to prepare for school! Darn. Summer's almost over… I can't believe it!
madoka-san: sorry if it gets so boring… I'm just more of an artist (I draw and sketch but never paint and color. I draw anime, real people and sometimes sceneries, but never animals. I hope to be an architect someday! hahaha!). as I was saying, I'm more of an artist than a writer, a watcher than a dancer, a listener than a singer, and a reader than a reviewer. Nyahahaha… stop talking nonsense (talks to self…) I'm going nuts again… haha… hmmm… I need some ideas on the ending… hahaha… I got it planned out, just don't know how to put it in words.(i'm being a blabbermouth again...)
Quote for next chapters: "This is stupid. I'm leaving." Just guess what happens… hehehe… I'm putting this up so I won't forget my plot… hahaha… I'm really forgetful… üüü…and I'm learning my lesson…
Thanks for the reviews!
Thanks for the suggestions!
Thanks for everything! üüü
