Authors' notes:
Before We continue, Let us tell you first that the Last Dance in our story is different from the real anime… You see, it's more like a prom.
All Girls, which means all including the high school, middle school and elementary… can choose their dress styles, colors and etc.
(that's because if we follow the ones in the real anime, We would be making our fic rather dull. So, it's just because)
But the boys will be wearing a tux…
(hehe… they look cute in it!)
That's all thanks!
- - -
So, on with the story!

Chapter 5:
The next day… That night… During the Last Dance…
Mikan wore a very elegant gown which attracted her "Fan Club". The boys then had heart-shaped eyes as they watched Mikan pass by them. But she never minded them. Because this time, they would really be burned if they chase her again. And oh, her date is Natsume! So you should keep that in mind.
She looked around but didn't see him.
"Where could Natsume be? He promised that he would go with me…" she said to herself as she sat on a table with Hotaru and Ruka.
"Hey Ruka, have you seen Natsume yet?" she asked.
"Not really… but I'm guessing he's at the Sakura Tree right now… Since he never wanted too much noise…" Ruka stated.
And he was right. The music was really loud and it was also a rock song not a romantic one.
"Maybe their saving the romantic ones for later…" she sighed and went outside to the Sakura Tree.
She spotted him.
"Natsume?" she said, getting near him.
"Hn?" he replied nonchalantly and not looking at her.
"Why are you not there?" she asked and sat beside him.
He faced her and noticed how beautiful she is in the dress she's wearing. "wow… I never knew this idiot was good in choosing clothes… she looks so pretty in it…" he thought as he stared at the gorgeous brunette right in front of him.
Mikan looked at him and gave a questioning look.
"Natsume? You okay?"
"I'm fine…" Natsume said as he looked away. Mikan just smiled.
"So, why were you not there anyway?"
"It's too loud in there… it gives me a pain in the ear…"
"Oh… so, can we dance here then?"
Natsume didn't reply. Mikan felt a bit disappointed but kept it all to herself.
"If you don't want… it's okay…" she said, with a hint of obvious disappointment in her tone. She looked away, stood up and dusted her gown as if she was about to leave when a hand grabbed her wrist firmly. She looked behind her and it was Natsume. Obviously.
"Stay…" was Natsume's command. She obediently followed the order and sat beside him.
"Mikan" he said as he stood up, facing her. "Dance with me…" he continued. His voice had a very slight emotion in it. All those sad thoughts faded away and was forgotten upon hearing the very sound of her first name. She smiled sweetly at him and gave him a nod.
Natsume had a perfect timing. When they danced, a soft, sweet and gentle tone of a piano was heard.
Authors' Notes: Before you continue reading, try imagining Natsume and Mikan dancing in front of the Sakura Tree. And I mean a sweet dance! Not a rockin' one since the song is now a sweet tune. And oh! Listen to the song Ai No Melody while imagining it. You can find this song at thnx!
During their dance…
"Natsume…" she said sweetly. "Thanks"
"Thanks too…" he said as they both stopped dancing and leaned at the tree.
Just then, a countdown was heard from the crowd inside the gym.
(A/N: As I have mentioned earlier, it was more like a prom and proms are mostly held in the school gym.)

…BoOm…
The fireworks began. Mikan was surprised. Very surprised. For many days, she had been bugging Hotaru to tell her what the special surprise is since she's the head of the Last Dance committee. And still she wouldn't tell her. She finally gave up on that. But when she saw it, and discovered it, she was fully amazed at the beautiful sight she's witnessing and with a very special someone to share it too.
(A/N: Have you ever seen the Fireworks Spectacular at Hong Kong Disneyland? Or the one in Disney World? If you have, the fireworks is like that!)
- - -
Meanwhile, on that very minute, two people from afar were also witnessing this amazing event.
"It's so great! Very amazing!" A guy with blond hair stated as his eyes showed great impression. Hotaru noticed this and smiled sweetly after receiving a compliment from her date.
"I'm glad you're enjoying it"
"Of course, it's because I'm watching it with… you" Ruka said facing Hotaru. And from the look of his face, he was very sincere in his words and she was touched.
"Me too…" was her reply. Before she could even make another move, he cupped her chin and asked. "I'll do this if you're ready…"
"And I am…"
And so he kissed her. She gave in to the kiss. Making their kiss a very unforgettable one. It was their first kiss. And it was so meaningful. They enjoyed the rest of the night together…
- - -
After 15 minutes, the fireworks ended.
"Wow!" Mikan childishly said, as if acting like they were still ten.
"Yeah…" Natsume softly spoke, replying to her.
"You know what Natsume?" she said, moving an inch closer to him. "I'm glad I saw that amazing view with you…"
"Me too…" he replied as his lips locked with hers. After a few moments, they both broke the kiss for air.
"Love you…" Mikan said and placed her head on his shoulder.
"Love you too…" was his reply.
Silence…
"Polkadots?" he softly said. But no reply came from the brunette. This time, he knew she was asleep. (Recall Chapter 3)
He slowly leaned her body at the tree and watched her beautiful figure. Her dress really matches her milky skin. Her hair was not tied up in ponytails nor in a half pony but with a diamond butterfly clip just to hold her bangs. And she let down the rest of her hair. Her angelic face had a light make up and to top it all, she looks completely perfect.
"She's looks so peaceful, calm and beautiful when asleep… I just wish I could make her mine" he thougt as he gave her a two-second kiss on the lips. He carried her bridal style after that.
He reached her room door and slowly placed her on a bench near it. He took out a duplicate key from his pocket which Hotaru gave him after that little incident. (Recall Chapter 4) Hotaru knew that of course. She had her video cams everywhere and she found out about their confession in his room. Oh what a blackmailer she really is! But then again, SHE was the one who gave him the key. And thanks to her, he can come in anytime… hehe...
When he successfully opened the door, he again carried Mikan and gently placed her on her bed.
"Good night, Mikan…" Natsume spoke before leaving.
- - -
The next morning, Mikan woke up and found herself not in the location she was last in but she was now in her room.
"Natsume must've carried me here…" she said and yawned. She then proceeded in doing her daily routines. And after that, she hurried to her classroom.
She opened the door and greeted her classmates. "Ohayou minna-san" she said with a bright and cheery smile plastered on her face. Almost everyone greeted her back. Just then, the two boys which obviously are Ruka and Natsume, arrived.
"Hi Ruka-pyon…" she greeted Ruka first.
"Good Morning Mikan-chan!" he replied her.
"Hey Natsume… thanks for last night…" she said with her head bent down. Trying not to show her blush.
"Same with me…" he nonchalantly replied as Ruka and himself proceeded to their respective seats. Mikan just smiled. She then turned around and saw Hotaru. Little did she know, of course she doesn't' know! That Hotaru was already and secretly holding her Baka Gun.
"HHHHOOOOTTTTAAAARRRRUUUU!" she yelled as she tried to hug her. Sadly, it always happens.
Baka Baka Baka
That sent Mikan to hit the ground. "Ouch! I was just trying to hug you!" she said rubbing her sore butt. "Idiots never learn…" Hotaru smirked and continued with her experiment. Mikan stood up and Yuu directly went to her. "Mikan-chan, are you okay?" he asked, concerned. "Yeah… Of course I am…" she replied with a small smile. "Okay then…" Yuu said and smiled at her too.
After Classes…
Mikan and the others left to the cafeteria. Except for Natsume and Hotaru. Hotaru was hiding behind the door when Natsume opened it. She was blocking his way out.
"What do you need?" he emotionlessly asked. Hotaru did not reply. She showed him the picture she was holding. "I'm giving you this… And don't worry… I'll be giving her a copy later on…". Natsume was completely shocked. Although he didn't really show it. It was because, in the picture he was now looking at, was about last night. When he kissed Mikan on the lips when she was asleep. "Blackmailer…" he lifelessly said as he tried to burn the picture. But it didn't burn. Even a single flame. "It's fire proof, Hyuuga…" she said with a smirk. Natsume just took the picture in defeat and left to the cafeteria without a word or an emotion. Hotaru grinned slyly and went to the cafeteria.
In the cafeteria…
"Mikan… at my lab after classes in the afternoon" Hotaru said upon arriving.
"What is it about?" she asked excitedly.
"I have a surprise for you…"
"Really? I love surprises! I can't wait!" she jumped for joy.
After classes in the afternoon, Mikan excitedly followed Hotaru to her lab. When they got there, Hotaru signaled Mikan to sit on the couch.
"You ready for my surprise?"
"Very!"
"Okay then…"
Hotaru took out a picture from a drawer and gave it to Mikan. She looked at it with shock and for no reason, well there is, she smiled sweetly.
"Surprised?" Hotaru asked with interest at her reaction.
"Yeah… Thanks Hotaru… Thanks so much…" And before you know it, she hugged her. But this time, she let her do that.
When Mikan reached the door, she smiled at Hotaru. "Thanks best friend, for letting me hug you…" and closed it.
That Night…
Mikan couldn't sleep. She just stared at the photo she's holding.
"That Natsume…" she giggled. And then she placed it in a picture frame and positioned it on a small cabinet beside her bed.
"Perfect!" she said as she stood up from her bed and went to her window and opened it. The soft and soothing breeze caressed her face as she felt a calm feeling inside her. Just then, when she was now very deep in her thoughts, someone yelled right at her from below.
"Mikan!" a familiar masculine voice was heard. She looked down and saw Natsume.
"There are colorful butterflies in the Northern Woods..."
"Butterflies?!" she said with an obvious hint of excitement in her voice. "Can we go there please!" she begged and placed her hands together. She lost her balance and fell. "AaAaAaAhHhHhH" she screamed. "Mikan!" Natsume yelled, worried that she might hit the ground.
(A/N: Can you imagine? Her room is in the 2nd floor! If she falls and hits the ground, she could be badly injured! Luckily, I won't make that happen… Since I'm aiming for a romantic story…)
Natsume caught her in a bridal style formation. His worried face then turned into a relieved one when he saw Mikan in his arms. Smiling.
"Don't be clumsy… You could end up being hurt!"
"Thanks Natsume… I promise. I'll try my best not to be clumsy again" she said and giggled. Natsume just smiled at her.
"So, Hotaru told me…" Mikan said as Natsume put her down. He recalled what he did to her during the Last Dance.
"During the Last Dance?"
"Yeah…"
"Want another one…?"
"Well---" she was cut off when Natsume kissed her on the lips. She gave in and kissed back. Making the kiss a very passionate one. After a minute, Mikan broke the kiss for oxygen. She blushed slightly and so did Natsume.
"Thanks for that…"
"Thanks too, Strawberries…"
"You noticed that I ate strawberry candies a while ago?"
"You smell like it too"
Mikan smiled sweetly. Then, Natsume held her hand and signaled her to come with him.
"Oh! The butterflies! Let's hurry before they would fly away!" Mikan said dragging Natsume.
"Even if those butterflies have flown somewhere else right now… I'm still happy I'm here with you…" Natsume thought as he smiled.
