Last Chapter:
Weeks past as she and Ruka celebrated their newfound relationship. Sure, it was great, but she felt as if it was ripping her apart. She was growing farther and farther away from her friends, and more importantly, Natsume. Ruka was really cute and sweet, but he had this inner…spirit that seemed so demanding. It felt as if she didn't spend every second with him, he would become that fierce tiger inside him and roar. Yes. Roar. Ok, maybe not. What was she thinking? "That fierce tiger inside him and roar?"
--
"What was a real relationship?" she thought.
--
What a typical happily ever after ending, right? Sooo not. What kind of person asked a girl to the dance FIVE MONTHS ahead? Sometimes she just really wanted to kill him for his stupidity.
She regretted it now.
He was hopeless at conversations, too. This was how they went:
The cute little hugs, and the polite little laughs, it was killing her. She just couldn't take it anymore. She no longer had a life…
--
Well they were wrong.
He would show them.
Mikan believed he was hopeless, but was realizing that she should dump him. He could feel it. Well, he would show her. He would make her scared of him…
--
She tried not to barf as she walked past the many camels, and… wait…apparently that was Ms. Sato…
Ms. Sato had horribly styled, old lady curly hair, and skin that looked like it had gone through plastic surgery, far too many times.
Her clothing taste was bad…and so was her makeup, despite being the CEO of Shiseido. I mean, wouldn't you think the owner of Shiseido would have some fashion sense?
Who dressed up in a purple, pink, blue, green, yellow, and dark brown spotted shirt and orange and black striped, way too long, pants. Oh, wait. The brown spots were from camel poop. Eghh.
And there she was, hugging a camel like it was the end of the world, and she would never let go. Didn't people have any regular pets these days?
"You'll always love Mommy, right Carter-poo?" she sang lovingly as she stroked its smelly hair.

Report to AAO by Luna
Ruka starts being abusive
Hotaru can't take it anymore
"Ohayo, Reo-kun. Miss Luna here to report, of course. "
"Yes, Lunaaaaa-chan?" he drawled out her name.
"Mhm, well, a group of Sakura Mikan's old friends, which I had brainwashed against her has discovered the truth about me. Luckily, everyone else is under control, so they can't do anything about it. However, I no longer am controlling Sakura Mikan; she seems to be nullifying me now."
"That's good, but not good, but it's ok, babe. We have captured Imai Hotaru, Sakura Mikan's ex-best friend, and are forcing her to work for us. Expect her to work alongside you as a spy in a couple months. "
Luna grimaced a little as she thought of the violet-haired inventor.
"Perfect. I'll be seeing you soon then, baby?" she struggled to say.
"Of course," he grinned.
--
Even though he wanted Mikan to be happy, he still missed her. Though she understood the reasons that they had all been controlled by that evil Koizumi bitch, she still did not talk to him. Ever since his confession, and of course, his mindwash, they had grown farther and farther away from each other. That incident in the forest, which he himself, one who was far away from romantic fantasies, considered to be quite, well, romantic.
Flashback:
"I'm sorry, minna-san. I wasn't strong enough. I didn't believe you."
"That's ok, Mikan," Anna said nicely.
"How can you be so accepting? I hurt you guys so much, and you treat it as if it were nothing!" she burst out.
She ran away- far, far, away; somewhere in the forest.
She kept running. How could they be so forgiving? She had hurt them so much!
Somehow, who knows what possessed him, Natsume ran after her.
"Damn that Polka," he thought. "Where could she be?"
Mikan was actually bruised and bleeding, lying on the forest floor.
After endless wandering around, Natsume actually found her.
"Mikan. Mikan. MIKAN!" he yelled as he tried to shake her awake.
He felt her pulse. Still beating, he observed. He sighed in relief. Finally, she awoke.
"…Natsume," she murmured.
"What happened to you," he asked.
She didn't reply.
"Mikan, Mikan, don't fall asleep," he yelled, scared that she might die. She looked very scary, with blood squirting everywhere.
"Mikan, I love you!" he yelled.
"I'm sorry, Natsume, but I'm not sure if I can accept your feelings yet." She murmured, just as she passed cold, and the world turned black.
End Flashback
"I'm sorry, Natsume, but I'm not sure if I can accept your feelings yet."
The words stung, even now. Time had passed, and as there was only time to heal his broken heart, he did have to have a little faith in himself.
Flashback:
"Natsume, how can you be so inconsiderate and uncaring? Mikan has liked you since we were 10! And this is the kind of thanks you give her? We need to save her from the darkness!"
End Flashback
After all, Anna had told him that Mikan had liked him since they were ten. Some part of him knew, or at least wished that she still did. What had caused her to go and have a change of heart? Bitterly, he thought back and remembered his traitor friend, Ruka. Their friendship had been torn apart, ever since Ruka went off and claimed his girl. Ruka had known how much Natsume liked Mikan, and yet, he seemed to have no respect for their friendship.
Though Natsume deeply cared for Mikan, and wanted her to just be happy, he didn't believe that true happiness would be found (for Mikan) with Ruka.
Images of the forest scene flashed through his eyes, and memories of the winter ball, too.
He deserved Mikan as well.
And yet, love just has to be so cruel.
--
"Hey baby," Ruka grinned, as he met her in front of her house.
"Hey," she replied sweetly.
She dressed nicely for their date, in a casual but pretty way, wearing a yellow sunflower print dress.
"I'll be taking you somewhere tonight."
"Where are we going?"
"It's a secret." He whispered in her ear as he covered her eyes.
"Tell me!"
"No. Come on, get into my car, ok?"
"Walk straight… step down…" he said as he opened the car door.
She sat down and put on her seatbelt while he closed the door.
"Keep your eyes closed!" he exclaimed.
The drive was still and calm.
"Open your eyes!" he shouted exuberantly.
The sign read Gakuen Alice Amusement Park. A smile immediately lit up her face.
"Where do you want to go first?"
"THAT ONE!" she pointed to a roller coaster called, 'The Grizzly'.
'The Grizzly' was a brown, wooden roller coaster. There were huge drops and turns all around it. The line was tiny, amazingly, and so they rushed immediately to the coaster.
After getting checked by the attendants, the ride sped off as they headed into a deep, dark tunnel. It was black, and suddenly, there was a drop. Mikan squeezed her eyes tight and clung tightly to the bar as they dropped. Sweat dripped off her face. They zoomed through the ride in about one minute, and finally, they were done. Mikan could open her eyes now.
"That was fun! Can we do it again?"
"Are you kidding me? You're the one who was just closing her eyes and screaming and clinging tightly to the seatbelt bar!"
However, he obliged, but not without seeing their pictures first.
In the picture, he had a smile on his face, while she, squished on the other side, was squeezing her eyes tight, clinging tightly to the bar, and perspiring deeply from every pore. Her face was light purple, her lips were dark, and every inch of her face was squished together in concentration.
The picture was, surprisingly, hilarious.
"How can you even be smiling after that?"
"How can you be so scared? It wasn't even scary!"
"You're just a freak of nature!"
His eyes squeezed hard together for a second, and his eyebrows rose up. He lifted his hand in a single, flashing motion as if he were about to slap her. She blinked, and when she opened her eyes, it was gone.
"Must have been my imagination," she thought.
--
Somehow, Natsume had been forced into attending this stupid amusement park thing. Sumire, being unbelievably annoying, had bugged him to death's end about attending some one-day only event.
Natsume Hyuuga, normally didn't do amusement parks. It was a brilliant sunny day. The sky was just the right shade of blue, and there were just the right amount of clouds in the air.
The only problem was that he couldn't get any damn peace in this stupid place. The bright lights, loud noises, and little children clearly did not portray an ideal place for relaxation. Oh, and did he mention the idiotic green-haired girl which he had to go with?
If it was with Mikan, it'd be a different story…
Well, actually, if he was with Mikan, he wouldn't get any peace either…
Just as he got up to ditch the annoying girl, he accidentally tripped on her odd leg, crushing her with his weight, and making him land on top of her, in…such a suggesting position.
He looked up, and you would not believe who he saw.
--
After they rode 'The Grizzly' about 10 times, Mikan finally decided it was time to try something new.
She felt a bit hungry, so she asked Ruka, and so they decided to go to the ice cream parlor. Walking there, she saw the strangest sight.
Natsume, on top of Permy, looking like he was about to kiss her?
She stared and he stared back, just as crimson met honey.
"Seriously," she thought, "in public?"
"Too much PDA there."
Still, it troubled her that Natsume had gotten over her so quickly. Her throat grew dry, and she burned of jealousy, even though she didn't realize it. She thought back to the forest scene, of when he confessed to her.
I'm sorry, minna-san. I wasn't strong enough. I didn't believe you."
"That's ok, Mikan," Anna said nicely.
"How can you be so accepting? I hurt you guys so much and you treat it as if it were nothing!" she burst out.
She ran away- far, far, away; somewhere in the forest.
She kept running. How could they be so forgiving? She had hurt them so much!
Somehow, who knows what possessed him, Natsume ran after her.
"Damn that Polka," he thought. "Where could she be?"
Mikan was actually bruised and bleeding, lying on the forest floor.
After endless wandering around, Natsume actually found her.
"Mikan. Mikan. MIKAN!" he yelled as he tried to shake her awake.
He felt her pulse. Still beating, he observed. He sighed in relief. Finally, she awoke.
"….Natsume," she murmured.
"What happened to you," he asked.
She didn't reply.
"Mikan, Mikan, don't fall asleep," he yelled, scared that she might die. She looked very scary, with blood squirting everywhere.
"Mikan, I love you!" he yelled.
"I'm sorry, Natsume, but I'm not sure if I can accept your feelings yet." She murmured, just as she passed cold, and the world turned black.
Really, what had she been thinking of at that time? Was it that she had been just scared?
"What are you thinking about?!" she asked herself anxiously. "How can you be thinking of Natsume when you are already with Ruka? Ruka has been so good to you, how can you be thinking such treacherous thoughts, you evil girl!"
"It was too late, anyways. He was already with Sumire, and she wished the best for her green-haired ex-friend."
"Hey Mikan? What are you thinking about?" asked the clueless Ruka. "Are you seriously still thinking about what ice cream flavor you want to get?"
"What? Oh yeah, yeah. Silly me. I just can't decide on what ice cream flavor to get. Chocolate or vanilla, chocolate or vanilla, it's so hard to pick!"
"Are you serious? Those are the only two ice cream flavors there are there!"
"But I just can't choose…"
"Fine, you can have both."
"Hontoni? Arigato, Ruka-pyon!"
It was times like this that made her so grateful for Ruka and feel so guilty for thinking about Natsume.
--
He swore he would kill that annoying green-haired girl. She probably stuck out her foot on purpose! After finally ditching her, he scrambled to find some kind of quiet place in which he could think. Finally finding a dirty spot behind an abandoned food wagon, he sat down.
It seemed like he had no chance in getting Mikan anymore. After seeing that scene, she probably thought that he was now with Sumire.
Feeling depressed, he moped and kicked around some rocks, unconsciously tracing things around in the soil with his wandering finger. He supposed he should try to get forget Mikan after all. Things were looking rather dark for him.
Just as he told himself he would get over her, he looked down, only to see the words Mikan traced in the soil, because of his wandering finger.
"Damn," he thought.
Now, abandoning his sad try at forgetting her, he proceeded to think of random things, until he suddenly saw two figures near the barnyard.
Creeping closer, he tried to see who it was.
A brunette and a blonde haired couple, could it be them?
"Ahaha, that tickles, stop!" squealed Mikan.
He quickly grimaced at the horrendous images in his mind of whatever Ruka could be doing to her.
"Mikan was his," he growled.
Mr. Brightside – The Killers
--
After their "infamous" tickle fight, Mikan and Ruka headed down to the haunted house.
They took one step in, and guess who they saw?
There was a white and black painted clown wearing dark liner and having a very white, pale face. They stared. The clown stared back. They stared. And the clown stared back!
Looking harder into his face, Mikan suddenly saw eyes of malicious intent. The clown suddenly grinned, and tossed his hair back, revealing many Alice Control devices.
"Who did this remind her of," she wondered.
Ruka pointed, stared, and stuttered.
"P-p-p-" he stumbled, legs shaking.
Mikan beckoned for him to go on.
"Persona!" he pointed out with a girlish shriek!
Oh, and you can expect that the two ran. Oh how they ran…
Instead, the two decided to get their faces painted. Mikan got a tangerine on her cheek, and Ruka got a Piyo. It was so nice to see how much he loved that giant chick, right? Next, they went to a petting zoo.
Mikan and Ruka's faces lit up at once. As soon as Ruka walked in the petting zoo, all the animals crowded around him. Imagine that time in Gakuen Alice with Ruka and Piyo. Oh yes, it was just like that.
Along with several furry, soft animals, there was Piyo too!
As their eyes met each other, both of them glowed with delight. One could say that there were hearts in each others eyes.
"I love you, Piyo!" Ruka shouted adoringly, the giant chick spinning him around.
"-chirp chirp chirp chirp-!" echoed the lovestrick chick.
Mikan chuckled at the scene, while trying, but failing, to push Ruka out.
"Ruka, I know you loveeeee Piyo! Look you even got Piyo face painted on you! And I saw the way that you guys look at each other!" Mikan teased after they finally exited the petting zoo.
He ignored her.
"Aw, you're in denial! How cute!"
Slap.
So sudden.
It was just like that.
Hard, cold, and bitter.
"I'm so sorry," he apologized afterward.
Everything seemed normal, and they were quiet and polite once again.
To make it up to her, they shared a passionate embrace before she had to go back home.
Still, she had to wonder, why?
She felt cold and small and tiny as if she was trapped in a cage. She was sure he had done it on accident, but she had to wonder…
She was scared…
How was it? Did you like it? Hate it? Meh meh? ish? Review plz!
