Disclaimer: Gakuen Alice is not mine….. But this story is……
Lesson actually started 2 days later for Mikan they all as most of the students who visit their parents, went overseas and cannot make it back on time. When the 4 of them entered the homeroom together, they notice everyone was talking about their home-stay experience and about each other's home.
"Ohayo, minna-san!" Mikan shouted, doing her regular thing like usual.
However, before anyone could greet her back, there is yet another scream.
"WHY ARE YOU WITH NATSUME-KUN, MIKAN?" Sumire shouted. "NOT ONLY THAT, WHY IS RUKA-KUN WITH YOU TOO?" She then asked as the 4 of them entered the room.
Natsume and Ruka just walked back to their tables and left Hotaru and Mikan alone. Seeing them leaving Mikan and Hotaru, Sumire immediately chase after them and asked them about their home-stay.
"Ohayoo, Hotaru-chan, Mikan-chan. How's the home-stay for you guys? Mine is very fun. I never noticed that Shouda-san's house is very big." Yui said.
Hearing the home-stay, Natsume, Ruka and Hotaru immediately looked at Mikan, whose face has turned a bit white. They know that Mikan has not fully walked out from her Ji-chan's death yet, and someone hit the spot which she hopes no one will.
"Yui is right. My place is a big one, what about you, Sakura? I bet Natsume-kun didn't get to sleep well there." Sumire then teased.
"Well, ours is also very fun." Mikan said with a smile and returned to her seat.
Sumire then looked at Natsume, only to find him staring at her deadly. She was frozen there until Narumi came before she went back to her seat.
"Welcome back, guys. Did you all enjoy the home-stay? I'm sure all of you did. Well, as a new school year as well as your form teacher, I guess it would be boring to sit at the same places right? Anyway, for this period of class, you all are allowed to change to the place which you would like to sit." Narumi then said.
All the students immediately changed their seats to sit with their friends. However, both Natsume and Ruka did not move nor change their seats. Instead, they wish that Hotaru and Mikan is seated in front of them.
"Oi… you 2." Natsume called out.
"What is it, Natsume-san?" Kokoroyomi asked.
Ruka looked at Natsume, "Can the 2 of you change place with Imai and Sakura?" he asked.
"Why should we?" His partner asked.
Suddenly, there is a fire ball and they immediately change place with Hotaru and Mikan. All of them were very surprised by their action but they are too afraid to say it.
"Are you alright, Mikan-chan?" Ruka asked as they settled down.
Mikan just smiled at him, "Mou daijoubu, Ruka-pyon."
However, Natsume could see that she is lying as her smile is not genuine. Soon, Narumi left them as the next class teacher, Jinno, is already waiting for them. As Jinno is teaching his lesson, someone interrupted his lesson.
"Who is it?" he asked sternly.
"Shiki says that she misses Natsume nii-chan they all. I bring her over here." Youichi answered.
"Go…Go ahead then…. But no noises." He warned them.
He has taught them lesson and already know how powerful and scary Youichi and Shiki's Alice is and is afraid of them. Youichi then sit with Natsume and Ruka, while Shiki sits with Mikan and Hotaru. He then continued his lessons.
After the lesson, everyone continue with the home-staying things that they talked about before classes.
"How is you home-stay, Natsume nii-chan?" Youichi asked.
"It is very nice, Youichi." Natsume answer softly.
"You-chan, please don't mention about home-stay in front of Mikan." Ruka said.
Youichi then looked at him, "Why is that, Ruka nii-chan?"
"That's because her Ji-chan died during the home-stay. You won't want to upset her, right?" Natsume asked him and he shook.
Suddenly, there is a big commotion and before they realized anything, Shiki is already running to them.
"Natsume nii-chan, Mikan nee-chan is crying there." She said.
The guys immediately went to the group and found Mikan there, really crying.
"Mikan!" Natsume exclaimed, putting Youichi down.
Ruka saw Hotaru, asking, "What happened?"
"Nonoko accidentally asked her about her home-stay and her Ji-chan before I could stop her." Hotaru explained, carrying Shiki.
"Ruka! Let's bail…" Natsume said as he hustle the crowd away.
The four of them went to the Sakura tree and let the 2 kids go and play on their own first.
"Are you ok now?" Natsume asked.
Mikan nodded, "Yes, I'm ok now. Just feeling a bit sad just now." She then looked at Natsume, "Have you consider of telling them about the dream already?" she whispered.
Natsume nod, "It is time." He answered.
"Natsume, Mikan-chan, what are you talking about?" Ruka asked.
They then start telling them about the dreams that had after reading the 4 novels. They describe the places they saw in their dreams and it is almost all the same as the novels. Both of them also do not know why they are so attracted to the books. Once they started reading, they cannot stop.
"That is so unbelievable!" Ruka commented.
Mikan just shrugged, "Well, that's the truth, after all."
Yet, before they can continue, Shiki and Youichi run back to them.
"Nii-chan, Shiki says that she wants to go to the Central for a look." Youichi said.
Shiki then asked, "Can us, Nii-chan? Nee-chan?"
The 4 of them looked at each other and agreed to continue their conversations later.
"Alrite, Shiki-chan, You-chan. Since there is no lesson later, let's go to the Central and have fun!" Mikan then said.
