Thank you so much for the reviews! I really appreciate it! I really feel like continuing it until the end because of you. This 3rd chapter is for all of you!
Chapter 3
"I'm so glad I did it. I hope Ms. Ami liked my performance." These words played in Mikan's mind.
"Great performance Ms. Sakura. Looks like we've seen the lead?" Mikan smiled after recalling that Ms. Ami really DID love her performance.
"Was he watching me?" Mikan immediately changed her expression after remembering this.
"Mikan! What are you doing there? We already have to go back to our class!" Mikan immediately snapped out from her imagination when she heard Anna.
"You're right! Let's go then." Mikan replied.
Mikan, Anna, Hotaru and Nonoko went to their class.
Why isn't Natsume here?" Mikan thought. "Considering the fact that I saw him a while ago during my audition."
"MIKAN!" A girl from her class called.
"What? What happened?" Mikan was frightened because she was in the middle of her thoughts AGAIN.
"What are you thinking?" She asked.
"Nooooothing!" Mikan yelled.
"I didn't mean to intrude. By the way, congratulations on your audition a while ago." She greeted.
"Congratulations? But the cast list hasn't been announced yet." Mikan wondered.
"But I heard that Ms. Ami liked your performance, knowing that she's one of the meanest and scariest teacher in this school."
"Ooohhh… Then thanks! But please don't expect much." Mikan lowered her head and smiled.
"I know I can. Ja!"
Their teacher entered.
"Stand!"
"Bow!"
Bell rings
"Bye guys!" Mikan waved her hands and immediately left. She ran through the corridor and looked at her watch. "I'm gonna be late for my recording!"
Outside the school, she was about to look for a cab when a limo parked in front of her. The driver went outside the car and opened the door at the back for Mikan. "Please enter." He said.
She looked around her and when she saw, rather thought that no one was looking, she went inside the limo. And so did the driver.
"Eh? A limo picking her up from school? Looks like she has a tiny little secret."
"What is this for? I can ride in a cab anyway. How many times I've told you never to fetch me from school. What if someone sees me. You know I want to keep a low profile."
"I'm sorry Ms. Miyu." The driver apologized.
"I'm not angry ok? I'm just explaining." Mikan said. "Is this my mother's order?"
"Hai."
"She's really overprotective." Mikan thought.
After half an hour, they arrived at the studio where Mikan will record her songs. The driver opened the door and she stepped out of the car. One of the staff immediately went to her.
"Welcome Ms. Mikan." She greeted.
"Thanks." Mikan answered.
She leaded Mikan to her studio room.
"At last Miyu, you're here." Her mother stood up.
"Mom, you don't have to be so protective. I'm a grown-up now you know." Mikan said.
"But I'm really worried you won't make it on time." Her mother said with a concerned tone.
"And I'm here, safe." Mikan replied.
"Ok guys, let's proceed to the recordings. Miyu, you will be recording songs today for your album entitled Rising to the Sun" One of the staffs said.
"I'm gonna sing Japanese songs right?" Mikan asked.
"As I promised. So go inside and start singing!"
Mikan went inside the recording area and held the mic.
"First song, Sakura Kiss from Ouran High School Host Club."

"Awesome, darling! You're great, shining as always!" Her mother complimented.
"Kawaii!" One staff exclaimed.
Mikan smiled because of their compliments but her face immediately turned into a serious look.
"What's the problem Miyu?" Her mother asked.
Mikan was staring at her, or rather at the person at her mother's back.
"What are you looking at Miyu?" Her mother turned her head and saw… "Oh, let me introduce you to him. He's Natsume Hyuuga, the son of the person who likes to sponsor your next concert." Her mother explained.
"Konnichiwa!" Mikan greeted as if she doesn't know him but the truth is that she does. "I'm…"
"…the one who vomited at me at the after-party of your concert, Amayasaki Miyu." She was cut by his words.
"How dare you embarrass me!" Mikan angrily said.
"Why? Am I wrong?" Natsume started an argument with his sarcastic words.
"Like I did that on purpose!" Mikan was pissed off.
"So you didn't?" Natsume sarcastically asked.
"The hell I would!" Mikan answered back.
"I'm not here to argue with you." Natsume professionally said.
"But you started the fight!" Mikan said.
"Guys, guys. Stop fighting." Her mother interrupted.
"But mom, he started it first!" Mikan answered.
"Now Mikan, act with your manners." Her mother reminded her.
"But…"
Her mother looked at Mikan.
"Hai." Mikan said.
Mikan gave Natsume an i-will-get-a-revenge-to-you-look. And Natsume gave her a you-can-never-do-that-look. Instead of arguing, they just had an exchange of glares.
"If you'll EXCUSE me, I'll continue my recording!" Mikan went back to the recording area and started to sing Honto no Jibun from Shugo Chara."

Her pissed face didn't change before singing the song, while singing the song and until after singing the song. But after she went out of that area, she saw that Natsume was already gone.
"Where did he go?" Mikan asked.
"I know you like him." Her mother whispered.
"What! I'm just asking!" Mikan answered back.
"But you're blushing." Her mother teased.
"Mom!"
"Alright now, I'm just kidding. And by the way, do you know why he's here?" Her mother asked.
"Now I realize, actually, no." Mikan replied.
"His father wants him to get closer to you, if you know what I mean." Her mother explained and then smiled.
"Mom!"
"Let's go home now. It's getting late."
"Okay." Mikan said.
Mikan and her mother went outside and rode into their limo. Their driver headed them to their home.
- - - - -
Knock Knock
"Come in." Mikan's mother was lying in her king-sized bed while reading a book. "What are you doing here sweetie?"
"Can I sleep with you tonight?" Mikan was carrying two very large pillows and a blanket.
"Of course and you sure are ready." Her mother smiled.
Mikan went to the bed and lied beside her mom.
"So what's the problem dear?" Her mother asked.
"Can I ask you a question?" Mikan asked.
"No problem."
"What if you are forced to do something and that something would lead you to having a life everyone dreams of but you know you don't want to have, like you think that it's complicated but you have no choice?"
"Mikan…" Her mother touched Mikan's soft hair. "Don't be afraid. Show them you can sing without a wig. Don't make them underestimate you. After all, Miyu is just like a counterpart of Mikan. Without you, she's nothing ok?"
"Ho-how did you know that?" Mikan wondered.
"Connections!" Her mother showed her the phone and smiled.
"Those brats!" Mikan giggled.
"So let's sleep?" Her mother invited.
"Okay mom and thanks!" Mikan replied.
- - - - -
Mikan was eating her PILLOW when she woke up.
"WAAH! Why are you two in my bed?!" Mikan asked.
"HI!" Anna and Nonoko greeted in chorus.
"Why are you still sleeping? We're hitting the mall baka!" Hotaru said.
"But I'm still sleepy." Mikan covered her face with two gigantic pillows.
Baka Baka Baka
"That was…" Anna's words was cut.
"Awesome!" Nonoko continued.
Anna sweatdropped.
"Do it again!" Nonoko excitingly said.
"Shut up Nonoko! I'm hurt here! Awww…" Mikan held her butt after falling down from her bed because of Hotaru's torture baka gun.
"So are we going or not?" Anna interrupted.
"Actually, we are but that girl isn't ready yet!" Hotaru sadistically looked at Mikan.
"I'll get ready but just keep that baka gun for yourself!" Mikan panicked and hurried.
After some time of preparing, Mikan was finished.
"I'm done!" Mikan said as she ran down through the stairs.
"At last!" Anna boringly said.
"We've been waiting for TWO HOURS!" Hotaru added.
"Aren't we going yet?" Nonoko asked.
"We are Anna. Thanks to that stupid girl." Hotaru sarcastically said.
"Stop calling me stupid!" Mikan yelled. Hotaru looked at her with one of her eyebrows raised.
"Can we just go?" Nonoko interrupted.
"That's better." Anna said to stop the tension between Mikan and Hotaru.
- - - -
"So where do you wanna go?" Anna asked.
"I don't care." Hotaru said.
"Let's eat!" Nonoko said.
"I know, let's head first to time zone!" Mikan raised her hand as a sign of "let's go".
- - - -
"Yey!" Mikan jumped after shooting the last ball.
"You're really good at this Mikan! How many points did you get?" Anna asked.
"Lesse… Umm, it says 84 tickets." Mikan said.
"84 tickets?! I just got 20!" Anna sweatdropped after hearing what Nonoko said.
"That's alright. It means you're not a SPECIAL child!" Hotaru said.
Mikan smiled but after realizing what Hotaru really meant by special,,, "Hotaru!!!"
"I'm right so don't react." Hotaru said.
"Fine, say what pleases you. I don't care anymore as long as I play basketball again and again." Mikan inserted a coin again in the basketball game for the eighteenth time! And as expected, Mikan never missed even one single try. Every ball was perfectly shot to the ring until…
"Oops, I missed." Mikan's ball rolled outside the area and she kept on running after it until she saw,,,
"You!" Mikan shouted.
"So?" Natsume said.
"Why are you here?" Mikan asked.
"I'm here because I want to and how dare you ask that to me! We don't even know each other!" Natsume said.
"Don't know each other? But you…" Hotaru stepped on Mikan's foot.
"Please excuse this special child for bring bad luck to mankind." Hotaru said.
"Hotaru!" Mikan yelled.
"You're Mikan baka!" Hotaru whispered to Mikan's ear and looked at Natsume innocently.
"Yeah right. We know each other because we're classmates." Mikan said to Natsume.
"Natsume! I'm here with the juices I bought." Ruka went to Natsume.
"Hi! Mikan, you're here!" Ruka waved his hand.
"Hi Ruka!" Mikan greeted.
"Hi Ruka!" Anna and Nonoko greeted in chorus.
"Since we're all here, why don't we take this opportunity to have a bonding with each other. There's nothing bad with this because we're all classmates. Agree or not, you have to come. Let's go." Hotaru explained.
"To the food!!!" Nonoko yelled.
Everybody sweatdropped.
