On with the story!!

"Natsume!" Mikan shouted as she knocked on Natsume's door.

There was still no answer.

'I woke up early just to get him help in our plan for Hayato and Kaede.' she thought.

Suddenly the door opened and Mikan saw Natsume, yawning and rubbing his eyes.

"What do you want polka?" he asked.

"Uhgh! Our plan!! for Hayato?"

"Was that today?"

"Yah."

"Come on. Why don't we go now?" he said and started to walk away.

Mikan laughed, "Atleast change into something decent."

Natsume was only wearing his pajama button. Which concludes him on walking outside of his room without his shirt. Natsume blushed and immediately ran inside the door dragging Mikan in.

"Why didn't you tell me sooner?" he demanded.

"I did. As soon as I noticed."

"Can we go later? I'm still sleepy." he suddenly said.

"b-b-but!!"

"Hayato's love life can wait. My sleep can't."

"Natsume!!"

Natsume just shrugged and went to sleep again in his gigantic bed. Or atleast pretended to be asleep.

"Natsume...you asleep?" she asked, looking at his face.

When he didn't move or wince, she placed her right hand on one of his cheeks.

"I guess they need to wait." she whispered.

Suddenly, Natsume's hand grabbed her waist. He hugged her tight.

"Hey, Natsume!" she complained.

"Let's stay like this even just for awhile." he said.

"Okay"

About a day later, the operation HayatoxKaede was somehow successful. Hayato got to know Kaede more and vice versa. Mikan knew her bestfriend had somehow started to have feelings for Kaede. She also trusts the girl, she had looked into her, and she is really a good person.

"Hayato!" Kaede shouted.

"Oh, Kaede. What brings you here?" he asked, a smile glued into his face.

"I was wondering if you'd like to go with me to Central Town."

"Alright. Pick you up later at 5? After classes?"

"Sure. See ya."

Then the two parted ways.

"I guess it was successful." Mikan said as she jumped from the tree branch.

"Good for him." Natsume said.

Mikan smiled wider, "Oh such happy days."

"Yeah."

"Natsume. I feel something big is gonna happen."

"Like what?"

"I don't know. But I have this feeling."

"Its just your imagination."

"Yeah. Maybe."

As the days flew by, Natsume and Mikan spent almost all their time toghether. Natsume never wanting to lose sight of the most important girl in his life. And Mikan, never wanting to leave the person she loves most. As for Hotaru and Ruka, well, things are still the same between them, but they spend more time with each other. And Hotaru treats him nicer. Hayato and Kaede seems to be in good terms with each other. Nonoko and Koko also have been spending time with each other. Yuu and Anna too. As for Sumire, Mochu still tries his best to impress her. Poor levitation guy.

"Central Town sure is exhausting!" Mikan exclaimed.

"Want me to help carry your things?" Hotaru asked.

"Sure. Bye Natsume, Ruka!" she said and pecked Natsume's cheek.

"Bye. See you tomorrow." he said and walked away with Ruka.

When Hotaru and Mikan are alone and walking towards Mikan's room, Hotaru said,

"We never get to spend some time together these days."

"Yeah, Hota-chan."

"I missed you, you know. Even though I see you everyday, I still miss you."

"Me too. I missed being hit with your Baka-gun. I missed everything we do before Hotaru."

"Do you want it as it is before?"

"Yes and No. I like to be with Natsume and I know you like to be with Ruka."

"You are right." Hotaru said softly. Then she added, "but sometimes for me, I want it to be how it was before. When I was still the one person you really love. I can't ask you such a selfish request Mikan. You know, I was kinda sad when you weren't clinging so much to me like you did before. You really grew up."

"Hotaru. . ."

"I love you like how sisters love each other. I love you Mikan, just like how much Natsume does."

"Me too. When my time limit is up, please tell everyone not to cry. I don't want to see them with such sad faces."

"I'll tell them. but I'm telling you this now, I don't know if I can stop my tears from flowing."

"Hotaru!!" Mikan shouted and cried as she hugged her number one bestfriend in the world.

Hotaru hugged her back, fighting the urge to cry, "Mikan. Thanks for coming into my life."

"Hotaru!!"

"If I can stop that dreaded event to happen, I can even fight fate or even destiny. I don't want to see you go."

"I don't want to go but, its whats about to happen."

Hotaru cried. "You know, I will give up all the riches in the world, I would stop loving money, and I would accept any consequences, I would do everything just to stop that from happening! I don't want my number one bestfriend to die!"

"Thanks Hotaru. Thank you."

"Mikan!"

"Hotaru. Thanks for saying those things. I. . .I. . .really am thankful."

"I would really give up everything if that will make you live. I would Mikan. Just for you."

"Hotaru. Thank you so much. Thank you."

That night, Mikan was still thinking of what Hotaru said.

'I'm glad you are my friend Hotaru. I'm glad I've met everyone Natsume, Hotaru, Ruka, Hayato, Kaede, Tsubasa, Misaki, Nonoko, Anna, Koko, Yuu, Sumire, Mochu, Mr. Narumi, mom, Ms. Marie, and almost everyone I met. Thanks. I'm happy to meet everyone.' she thought.

Then, she slept. About a few minutes later, her slumber was disturbed with a huge and ear-breaking explosion.

"What was that?" she said aloud. She changed into some decent clothes and ran towards the window.

She saw half of the western forest totally destroyed. And that place filled with enemies. She opened the window and jumped. Landing gracefully to the ground, not even producing a sound. Mind you, her room was on the fourth floor. She used her levitation alice to check on what'c currently happening. Once in the air, she used yet another alice, to detect how many enemies and who exactly the enemies are. Her eyes widened. She flew towards everyone who have gathered to see the commotion.

"Mikan!" Natsume shouted once he saw her flying towards them.

"Oh. Natsume! Everyone!" she shouted.

She landed beside the teachers.

"What's happening out there?" a student asked.

The teachers looked at Mikan who practically knew everything. With her voice-amplifying alice, she shouted,

"We are currently being invaded by the AAO! Please remain calm. All those students whose alices can help in the battle, prepare yourselves. As for those who cannot, guide the children and the others to a safe location. I'm gonna use my alice to put barriers for alice students so you needn't bother about protection. Everyone, let's team up and end up safe after this."

All the students from the dangerous ability class immediately ran towards the teachers who gave them instructions. For those who can fight, they also went towards the teachers. All the kids are being evacuated and so are those whose alices aren't very helpful. Persona arrived, all the teachers and so did Mikan's mother.

After settling in place, Mikan held Natsume's hand.

"This is it. No more turning back." she whispered.

Natsume just smirked, "It's finally their time to strike."

"Natsume. . .we need to get back safe and sound."

"Yeah, you too. Don't overuse your alice."

"alright."

Narumi clapped his hands. Then he shouted,

"This is the start of the unpredictable battle! Get ready!"

"Everyone! Let's do our best!" Mikan shouted.

"Let's begin." Yuka shouted and charged.

All the other students followed. Every second is valuable for everyone. They are all fighting, wanting to protect their friends and the academy, everyone's home.

"Hayato! On your back!" Mikan shouted.

Hayato turned back and used his Ice alice on the AAO guy, then he flashed a smile at Mikan, "Thanks."

"Be careful. Take care of Kaede and take care of this area. I'm going to the next." she said and left.

As she ran, she stopped when a man in a mask just stood there and blocked her way. At that exact time, Yuka arrived.

"Mom! Are you alright?" Mikan asked.

"Yes dear. You?"

"Never better. Its just been a few minutes since the battle started."

"Good. Now for this guy."

"Mom, lets take him on together."

"That is what you call teamwork right?"

"Yeah. Get ready you AAO scum!" Mikan shouted.

"Yeah! You are gonna take it this time!" Yuka shouted.

Suddenly, the masked man took off his mask. What Yuka saw made her heart almost leap out of her body. Yuka's eyes widened. Mikan just stared at the guy.

"Still want to kill me ladies?" the guy cockily said.

"Yeah! You are an AAO member!" Mikan shouted.

She started to go at it again and beat up the guy when Yuka stopped her when she said,

"Mikan! Don't fight with him."

"Why mom?"

"Because that guy is your..."

"Is my??"

The guy is now smiling widely and staring at the two women, then he said,

"I hope I am not too late Yuka, and Mikan."

Then, more chaos begins!!

hehe...that's the end of the chapter.

I know all of you already have a clue on who the guy is.

Or if not, find out next chapter. lol.
