Disclaimer: I don't own Gakuen Alice...

1 week has passed since the trip to Central and the 4 of them are back to their normal routine. Nothing had happened ever since they returned to school, however, none of them let their guards down as no one know when will those people strike again.

"Natsume nii-chan…Ruka nii-chan… Hotaru nee-chan… Mikan nee-chan…" Shiki shouted as she entered the classroom.

"Hello, Shiki-chan." Yui greeted.

Shiki only nodded and run to Natsume and Ruka. Followed behind her is Youichi and then a group of boys and, lastly, girls. Soon the whole of Class 2A is in Class 2B.

"What is going on here?" Mikan asked as Youichi climbed to her lap.

Shiki, sitting at Natsume's lap, look up and pointed out to Class 2A, "Youtai-kun they all have been following Shiki everywhere Shiki go… very annoying…Aki-chan they all also follow Youichi-kun everywhere… Shiki don't like…" Shiki complained.

"It seems like Shiki really likes you a lot, You-chan." Mikan commented.

"Ah… You-chan, so nice for you to drop by and see me." Sumire said.

Youichi just answered, "Baka Permy, who is here to see you?"

Hotaru sighed, "Now is the time for ability classes. If those people who wants to be punished by their respective sensei can continue staying here. We're leaving now." She said as she stood up.

Mikan, Natsume and Ruka followed her and they left the homeroom together. As soon as they walked a distance from the homeroom, Mikan then put Youichi down.

"Guess we will meet later, then. Bye." Ruka said as he went off with Hotaru.

Mikan wave to him, "Bye, Ruka-pyon, Hotaru." She then looked at Natsume, "Ne, Natsume-kun, be careful, ok?" she then said and he just looked away.

"Mika-chan!" someone called out from the corridor.

Mikan looked towards the voice, "Tsubasa sempai and Misaki sempai! Konniichiwa!" she greeted.

"Yo, Natsume-kun. How are you?" Tsubasa asked.

Natsume ignored him and walked off with Shiki and Youichi. Meanwhile, Mikan, Misaki and Tsubasa walked to their ability class together. When they entered the homeroom, they are surprise to find Noda sensei there as well.

"Oi Noda, back from your travel? How is the recent one?" Tsubasa asked.

Noda looked at them, "Well, nothing much. Everything is the same."

"Sensei, do you know anything about the Water and Wind Alice?" Mikan asked.

Noda was stunned by her question, "Why those 2 Alice is the most powerful yet can be dangerous Alice. They are very rare. To be exact, these 2 Alice only appear once and history has recorded that only 2 people has it."

"Who… Who are them?" Mikan asked.

"Hey kid, why are you asking this?" Tsubasa asked Mikan.

Mikan looked at him with determination, "Because I want to know."

"Well, they are the Ouji-sama and Hime-sama of Alice, Misaki Takeru and Fuyuki Hikari." Noda said.

Mikan's face immediately change when she heard the names. Those names are those people that appeared in hers and Natsume's dream. However, nobody noticed it.

He continue talking, "They are the most respected people among all those people with Alice at that time. And if you ask me why, that is because they risked their own live for the survival of mankind at that time…" his voice then trail off.

"Noda sensei!" Mikan shouted, alas, too late to use her Alice as he has disappear into the time dimension again.

"Mou…. I still have a lot of questions to ask." Mikan said disappointedly.

"Well kid, sorry to disappoint you, but Noda that fellow is not always right when it comes to this type of thing." Tsubasa then said.

Mikan just absently nodded as she thought of what Noda has said earlier.

At the Danger Class,

All of the students want to talk to the cute Shiki as this is the first time she entered the Danger Class, but she refuses to talk to them.

"Natsume nii-chan, who are they? Shiki is afraid… don't like them…" she said.

Natsume looked at her, "Don't worry, they can't hurt you." he whispered.

"Who are we waiting for?" She asked.

Youichi looked at her, "Persona."

As soon as he finished his line, Persona entered the room.

"The annual body checkup is tomorrow. I will go through all your reports when it is out. You all better make sure you don't give me any information which I won't like to have. There will be no class today." He said before leaving the room.

Right after Persona left, Natsume walked towards the balcony, leaving the kids to play on their own.

'I wonder what is that Poke-dot girl doing now… it has been a long time since I last call her by nicks… I wondered how she is now.' Natsume thought silently.

'Wait a minute!' he then jerked up. 'What am I thinking about? We just left moments ago and I'm thinking about her already? What kind of feeling is this? But, strangely, I don't hate this feeling at all. I wonder what future I will have with her.' He wondered.

He looked startled again, then smiled, 'After all, this is the 1st time I thought about it, the future.'
