Chapter 8: Never get over you

The two remained quiet inside the car. There was no music. With Natsume driving and Mikan sitting in his side, currently staring at the window. After a couple of seconds, Mikan just broke the silence, "Hey, uhmm, I would just like to say thank you for saving my life from those addict boys yesterday." She smiled at Natsume while saying this; however, Natsume didn't reply so she just bowed her head and kept quiet. "Just be sure, you're not going to repeat that." Natsume told her coldly. Mikan nodded and smiled with teary eyes. They remained silent through the rest of the short trip. Arriving at the Central Town, Natsume parked the car in the side and they both entered the Central Town. It didn't quite change after all. The same store is there and the owners are much older now than the time they're still studying there. Proceeding to the shopping list, Mikan read the long list as it goes:

SHOULD BE OF DIFFERENT KINDS AND COLORS:

1 piece of corsage for girls

SHOULD BE OF DIFFERENT COLORS BUT ONE KIND:

1 piece of tie for boys

SHOULD BE ONE KIND AND ONE COLOR:

10 pieces of battery

"Oh, shoot Hotaru! No wonder it's too long!" Mikan said in despair as she handed over the list to Natsume. "Your best friend didn't change after all." Natsume said as if he expected this to happen. "God, she could've at least written '10 pieces of corsage for girls' and '10 pieces of tie for boys'! And what is the battery for?" Mikan protested. "Just keep quiet and start looking for the shop where we could buy those things." Natsume said in solution. Meanwhile, the rest of the gang is currently preparing some kind of way to continue their so-called 'PROPOSAL PLAN' for the lovebirds.

With the nullifier in front and the flame caster behind, Natsume looked at the window of a house. There, he saw the flowerpot about to fall to Mikan. Natsume ran over Mikan, hold her through her waist, and jump as far as they could. They jumped just in time before the flowerpot could hit Mikan's head. After that jumped, the lovebirds just found their selves lying on the floor and Mikan on top of Natsume. Natsume's hands are on Mikan back and Mikan's hands are on Natsume's chest. People are around them watching what will happen next. They just lied there, both staring at each other eye-to-eye and both not wanting to move nor change their positions. Upon knowing that those two are all right, people cheered. The moment was distracted by the people. They quickly stood up and cleaned their own clothes from any dirt. After a couple of seconds, the two ran away from the crowd both panting. "That was close! Thanks Natsume! If it wasn't because of you, I could've been in the hospital by now!" Mikan said cheerfully. "You're not watching where you're going! Idiot! You're already old and you don't know how to take care of yourself? What a shame!" Natsume told to her. "Why! It was pretty OBVIOUS that it was an accident, Mister! Well, I'm sorry I didn't see that flowerpot falling, Mr. Hyuuga!" Mikan shouted in reply.

Natsume just kept quiet and resumed to his walking. Mikan just followed and went to a store where they are selling flowers. She thought that they could be selling also some corsets. Natsume just followed. "Good Morning Madam and Senior!" greeted the saleslady. "Oh, Good Morning too Miss" greeted back Mikan. Mikan inquired and upon inquiring, the saleslady brought up different kinds and colors of corsage. Mikan looked closely at every flower while Natsume is at her side also looking at it. After staring at it for almost five minutes, Mikan decided to separate these corsages: pink rose, white carnations, small yellow dendrobium orchids, white glamellia, yellow alstroemeria lilies, white gardenia, red aster, purple cattleya, white stephanotis, and white cymbidium. "Do you think these will do?" Mikan asked her companion. "Those flowers will do. Anyway, I will not be the one to wear those things." Natsume answered teasingly. "Grr… Fine then I'll buy it!" Mikan answered snobbishly. As the saleslady is packing those entire corsages, Mikan pulled Natsume a bit far away and whisper, "Natsume, can you buy these entire corsages because I left my wallet in my room? Please! Please! I promise that I'll pay you when we reached the dorm! Oh please!" Natsume, upon hearing this, wanted to laugh aloud but then he just brought out his credit card and said to her quietly, "Stupid girl! Be thankful that I'm here to buy those stupid things!" Mikan answered, "I'm really really really sorry, Natsume!" Mikan said begging to him.

Mikan gave the credit card to the saleslady and then handed out a paper to be signed by the owner of the credit card. Mikan gave the paper and a pen to Natsume and then he signed it. The saleslady gave Mikan a basketful of corsage and then she carried it. After that, they went out the store and start walking to look for the ties of the boys. While walking, Natsume noticed that Mikan is having a hard time bringing the basket so Natsume pulled it away from her and then walked away, leaving Mikan all behind. "Hey what are you going to do with those things? Wait for me!" Mikan yelled. "Stay there and I'll just place these corsages in the car." Natsume answered.

Mikan saw a nearby bench and sat there while waiting for Natsume. She said to herself, "Why did he want to place the basket in his car? May be because he doesn't want me to suffer from carrying heavy things! That means he still cares about me! Oh god! Mikan, don't forgot that you're companion is already having a proposal! A Marriage Proposal to another girl! You were able to live for 3 years without him, so you might as well continue that and aim for a longer span of time Mikan!"

Without Mikan knowing it, the rest of the gang are in the tree in the nearby bench and all are listening to her. "Aoi, what is the thing about Natsume having a proposal?" Hotaru asked. "What proposal?" Aoi asked. "Marriage proposal." Hotaru said coldly. "What! My brother doesn't even have a girlfriend! How can he propose a marriage right away!" Aoi defended. "But Mikan just said, right guys?" Hotaru said as the others nodded. "Wait! Natsume told me something about a proposal, but it isn't a marriage proposal." Ruka remembered.

Meanwhile, Mikan paused and said "Hay! Falling in love with you is just the greatest mistake I ever did in my entire life! I hate myself… for loving you!" She stood up and sang:

I hear your taking the town again
Having a good time
With all your good time friends
I don't think that you think of me
Your on your own now
And I'm alone and free

I know that I should get on with my life
But a life live without you could never be right

As long as the stars shine down from the heaven
As long as the river run to the sea
I'll never get over you getting over me

I tried to smile so the hurt won't show
Tell everybody I was glad to see you go
But the tears just won't go away
Loneliness found me looks like its here to stay

I know that I ought to find someone new
But all I found is my self always thinking of you

As long as the stars shine down from the heaven
As long as the river run to the sea
I'll never get over you getting over me

Oh no matter what I do
Each nights a life time to live through
I can't go on like this
I need your touch
Your the only one I ever loved

And as long as the star shine down from the heaven
As long as the river run to the sea
I'll never get over you, getting over,
I'll never get over you,
I'll never get over you getting over me...

On the other hand, "It was a business proposal. Actually, it was a surprise for Aoi." Ruka said. "For me!" Aoi burst in. "Your brother knew that you like to design dresses and other stuff. So he planned to build the company a new product to be run by you. And that you will have your own building and your name on it. That's all I know." Ruka said. Aoi was astounded by the news and said cheerfully, "Oh my god! Oh my god! Oh my god! Oh my god! Oh my god! Oh my god! I really love my brother! Oh my god!"

As Mikan finished her song, she sat on the bench with her eyes covered by her bangs and frowning. Natsume arrived with a box of fluff puffs on his hand and saw Mikan in that position. He placed the box of fluff puffs in Mikan's lap and said "Eat. We still have a long way to go." Mikan tilted her head as she saw Natsume sat by her side. Her frown face turn into a sweet smile and then said cheerfully, "Thank you Natsume!"

the song, for the information of many, was entitled "I'll never get over you, getting over me" by MYMP... hope you like it!
