Chapter 3

Again! please! reviews, suggestions, comments!

Thanks a lot!

Koko and Ruka is walking back to the classroom, while Hotaru, Mikan and Natsume were running on the hallways as fast as they could, headed to Hotaru's Lab.

"Hey! I forgot to ask Hotaru about my excuse! Mr. Jinno is our teacher for this hour!"Ruka said nervously.

"Don't worry, I'll make an excuse for the both of us" Koko said.

"Koko, thanks, I owe you" Ruka said with a smile.

"Sure" Koko replied.

'I wonder, if Ruka is jealous of Natsume, since Natsume will be spending his half day with Mikan? I better read his mind' Koko reading Ruka's mind...

'I can't believe this is happening to us! I've never felt this nervous before, except the time when Mr. Narumi almost kisses me during the Snow White play at the school festival. But, I'm happy for Natsume, because he finally found his light. I know Mikan has feelings for Natsume, same also for Natsume, but both of them are still in denial since the Last Dance. But, I'm not giving up that easily. Mikan, I'll do anything to make you fall for me'

'Oh, Ruka, you're really are Natsume's best friend' Koko thought. and they almost made it to the classroom.

Inside Hotaru's lab

"Great! We've made it without getting ourselves caught! Mikan said.

"Don't celebrate just yet polka-dots, we still have to get back to normal you know" Natsume said.

"I know that! Hmph"

"Now, stop flirting you two and help me carry this would you!" Hotaru exclaimed.

"We're not flirting!" Natsume and Mikan said in unison.

"Whatever! Just help me!" Hotaru replied. Mikan, Natsume and Hotaru carried the machine that looks like an ordinary telephone post.

"Hotaru, are you sure this is the machine? It looks like an ordinary telephone post" Mikan said.

"You idiot, of course it may look just like an ordinary telephone post, but its just a cover up" Natsume said.

" I'm not an idiot!" Mikan exclaimed. "Well, you sure are "acting" like one" Hotaru and Natsume replied in unison.

"You meanies…." Mikan pouting. "So, Imai, what does it do?" Natsume asked.

"This is invention # 15, the Telephone Closet. Just dialing the code of a particular costume , then it will dress you according to your desired costume. To look for costume codes, just look at the book of costume codes that looks like an ordinary phone directory" Hotaru explained.

"Mikan, you go first" Hotaru said.

"And dial the numbers 66669 and push the green button" Hotaru commanded.

Mikan did the instructions as ordered and a glowing light shone inside the telephone post. When Mikan opened the door, they saw her wearing a baby pink dress, white flats, a white apron wrapped around her waist and her hair laid down.

"Wow, amazing.." Mikan said with sparkling eyes.

'She looks so…so…' Natsume though

"Good, it's still working, even though it's just one of my prototypes" Hotaru said.

"Natsume, its your turn!" Mikan said, pushing Natsume inside the telephone post.

"Hey! You don't have to push!" Natsume complained.

"Stop the flirting you two, we're wasting time here!" Hotaru said.

"There you go again with the flirting! We've told you already, we're not flirting!" Natsume and Mikan replied in unison.

"Natsume, dial the number 32339 and push the green button" Hotaru commanded. Natsume did the instructions as ordered and the same glowing light appeared inside the telephone post. When Natsume opened the door, they saw him wearing a long sleeve navy blue polo and black pants.

'Natsume, he looks so…so…'Mikan thought

"Great! Now, Imai , its your turn" Natsume said.

"Fine, but don't take this as an advantage to humiliate me or else…"Hotaru glaring at Natsume and Mikan, giving both of them a cold chill.

"Did you hear that Mikan, she said nothing stupid" Natsume replied.

"I'm not the only one she's referring to you know!" Mikan said.

"Okay, Hotaru, dial the numbers, 24453" Hotaru dialed the numbers and pressed the green button, after the lights shining inside the telephone post, Hotaru opened the door and dressed like a Class A student.

"Oh Hotaru you look so cute!" Mikan exclaimed.

"Whatever, now, both of you, take Yuu and go to Central Town while I'll go straight to the Class A." Hotaru said.

"Oh! I remember! Today is the day when students of Class A and Class B will join together for a special class! I can't believe it's today! Mikan said.

"Oh, lucky for me, that means, I'll be joining with Anna, Nonoko and Ruka. so, here" Hotaru passed Baby Yuu to Mikan.

" Hey, what are we suppose to do?!" Natsume asked.

"Since you two are Yuu's parents, well, its obvious that you should take care of Yuu for awhile. Go to Central Town and enjoy yourselves. Wait for us at the Central Fountain at sunset, so good luck!" Hotaru ran away, leaving the two alone with Baby Yuu.

"Well, you heard what she said, let's go to Central Town" Natsume said. "Yeah, right" Mikan, carrying Baby Yuu in her arms walked together with Natsume.

In Class B...

"Good afternoon Mr. Jinno!" Ruka and Koko greeted the teacher in unison.

"Ruka, Koko, where have you been?" the teacher asked.

" Well, sir, I had an accident during lunch and Ruka took me to the nurses' office." Koko explained.

"Okay, both of you are excused, now go back to your seats, we're having a special class today, with the accompany of the Class A students...

In Class A...

"Students! We're having a special activity today! We're going to visit your big brothers and sisters in Class B. Isn't that exciting?! And..."

KNOCK!

KNOCK!

KNOCK!

Hotaru opened the door and Youichi saw her. "Hello, are you a new student?" the teacher asked.

"No teacher, I'm one of your students. It's just so happens that there are so many of us and maybe you didn't even notice me" Hotaru explained.

"Oh, yes, true, you do look like someone I knew, anyways, come in! And sit next to youichi" the teacher asked Hotaru playfully.

'Good! I came perfectly on schedule and I'm sitting next to Youichi. Maybe he could help us with our current situation' Hotaru thought.

Hotaru went into the classroom and sitted beside Youichi.

"Big sister Hotaru, what are you doing here?" Youichi whispered. "So, you reckognize me." Hotaru replied.

"Well, I can tell if its you by the look of your eyes, you're the only one I knew who has a cold stare like that" Youichi explained.

"Well, I'm glad you noticed it. So, when are we going to Class B?' Hotaru asked.

"Class, form two straight lines outside, boys on the left and girls on the right, quickly" the teacher said.

"Right now" replied Youichi. The students of Class A formed two straight lines and walked straight to Class B. Meanwhile...

In Central Town...

"Yuu! Look! A teddy bear!" Mikan, holding a teddy bear, is playing with Baby Yuu, which is sitting next to his temporary father, Natsume. Yuu is having a good time until he saw a couple and their baby having fun together. The mother's face is so close to her husband's face, both smiling and the baby was happy. Baby Yuu is kind of jealous to the baby so he pulled Mikan's hair and tugged Natsume's shirt, making their faces touch each other, while Baby Yuu is at the center, smiling and chuckling.

"Yuu! What are you doing?!" Mikan said, blushing.

"Hey! Yuu?!" Natsume said, blushing too. Their faces turned red and somehow, Mikan managed to loosen Yuu's grip of her hair and Natsume's shirt and carried Yuu to her arms.

"Hey, Yuu, what's wrong? Are you hungry?" Mikan asked.

"Hey, Natsume, let's go to the cafe, I bet Yuu is hungry, that's why he pulled my hair and your shirt, hehehe.."Mikan blushing and acting nervously.

"Yeah, I guess you're right" Natsume, hiding his blushing face by looking at the other direction.

Mikan's face sure is soft and smooth' Natsume thought.

'Natsume's hair smells nice' Mikan thought.Then the Natsume, Mikan and Yuu went to the nearby cafe not noticing Baby Yuu's disappointed face.
