"Don't worry Yuu-chan, we'll save you"Mikan murmured to herself "Hey, how come, this road seems familiar?"
Meanwhile...
"I wonder, how did Mikan knew if that is really Yuu? I mean, it could be anything, like an alarm, an animal-"Koko said but Ruka interupted him
"Koko, don't judge a girl's intuition"
"Intuition eh.."Koko smirked
"Just, shut-huh? Hey..."Ruka pointed at the small figure in the forest and Koko focused on the small figure, which happens to be..
"What? Its just Mikan"Koko said, looking at Ruka with a "so-what" look
"I know, just look at her location...she's near to a specific place.."Ruka still continues to make a point to his friend. Koko looked at Mikan again, trying to understand what Ruka is talking about, until...
"Oh man...OH MAN!!"Koko said with such horror
"See! I told you"Ruka said
"Oh man! Natsume accidentally got tripped over by a small rock...and it was hillarious! The way he falls, is like a girl "Koko laughed really hard and Ruka just lowered his head with embarassment
"Whatever man, we're landing"Ruka said with annoyance and the eagle starts to lower his elevation, trying to give the two boys a safe landing...
Back to Mikan and Natsume...
Mikan was leaning on the tree, looking at the cabin, where Mr.Bear lives. She heard the rustling of the grass, so she turns around and sees Natsume, panting
"Natsume, you're just in time"Mikan said with a worried look.Natsume was startled becasue of the little girl's face. So he came closer to the girl...
"What's wrong?"Natsume asked with concern
"Natsume..."Mikan's eyes were teary and Natsume was worried, since his little girl was about to cry.This means that it must be serious business for the both of them
"What...what is it?"
"Could you, could you.."Mikan walked a little closer to Natsume, and grabbed his shirt collar
"Could I, what?"Natsume puts his hands on Mikan's shoulders
"Could you, please go get Yuu from Mr.Bear?"Mikan shakes Natsume back and forth. Natsume was surprised, after that serious moment they had a few seconds ago. So he removes his hands form the girl's shoulders and starts to burn one of Mikan's pigtails
"Aaaah! My hair, my hair!"Mikan puts out the fire on her pigtail and she gave Natsume an angry look
"What did you do that for?"Mikan asked
"Get a grip, woman! Why do I have to get Yuu from Mr.Bear?Natsume crossed his arms
"Please.."Mikan pouted cutely at Natsume and he was startled by Mikan's cuteness so he distanced himself from the cute girl
"No way!"Natsume said
"Pleeeeeeeaaaaaasssse?"Mikan came closer to Natsume and he just backed away from her, until he trips, again and fell on the ground. Mikan was startled and lost her balance so she accidentally falls on top of Natsume, giving then an akward position
"Ouch! Clumsy girl.."Natsume said while lying on the ground
"Sorry Natsume"Mikan apologized in a serious tone, while her head was somehow, resting on Natsume's shoulder( if you can imagine that, you can see that Natsume's head and Mikan's head were close to each other..gets?)
Natsume felt akward and curious, because after the apology, Mikan is still, lying on top of him. He expected that after she apologized, she should be standing up and distance herself from him, but she's not doing anything. Natsume liked their position right now, and he let it be for a few more minutes until someone ruins his moment.
"You guys...what are you doing?"Koko asked
"Huh?"Natsume and Mikan said and focused on the figure infront of Mikan
"Koko, Ruka"Mikan said
'Not again...' Ruka's surprised look made Koko laugh a bit.Mikan noticed their expressions and she regain her common sense, and realized that she's lying on top of a boy.
"Oh! Its not what you think!"Mikan said and somehow, gives her a sitting position on blushes even more and Koko slightly laughed because of the even more akward position...
"Ahem...we'll just put this issue aside and focus more on Yuu's condition..We don't have much time left to return him back to normal"Ruka said
"Oh right!"Mikan stood up and went to the bushes, trying to spy on the cute specimen, carrying their main target. Koko gave Natsume a hand and Natsume took Koko's hand and he stood up.
"So Mr.Bear has Yuu all along..thank goodness"Ruka said
"What's so good about that? It's Mr.Bear we're talking about..so what should we do?"Mikan asked
"Well, I think one of us should approach Mr.Bear and ask him if we can have Yuu back and let him eat this antidote"Ruka suggested
"Hmmm..that's a good idea, but which one of us will persuade Mr.Bear?"Koko asked. And they look at each other with a questionable look
"You know, I think that the person who should talk to Mr.Bear must be a cold person with a strong personality, who doesn't need words to persuade the Bear"Mikan said and the three students focused on Natsume
"Fine, I'll do it"Natsume said and went out of the bushes 'How akward, in the end, I'm the one doing the hard work'
"Wait Natsume, here"Ruka throws the antidote to Natsume and Natsume catched it perfectly.
Mr.Bear saw Natsume, standing in front of him. Yuu was sleeping soundly behind Mr.Bear's back and Natsume sat down on the ground, still facing the stuff toy
"Give me the baby"Natsume said, reaching his hand on the bear.
Mr.Bear looked at the hand first, then went back to Natsume's face.
He stared at Natsume's glowing ruby eyes and Mr.Bear somehow, got scared. So Mr.Bear gave Yuu back to Natsume. Natsume took Yuu and cradled him into his arms, pops the bottle cork and putted on Yuu's mouth.
Yuu sucked the antidote,and his body began to glow...
At the school's garbage disposal
NOTE: Garbage disposals in Japan are just small empty spaces.
"Well, I guess, this is goodbye for us"Anna cried and pulls out a hankerchief from her pocket and blows on it
"Come on, Anna, Nonoko, this is for the best"Mikan tries to calm down their chemist friends and the two chemists just nod their heads
"I'll never forget the good times"Anna said and patted the box
"And also the bad"Nonoko sniffed the box and lays it on the empty garbage disposal
"Actually, more of the bad than the good, don't 'ya think?"Koko whispered to Yuu
"Somehow, you're one of our best and dangerous inventions ever"Anna said
"It's time"Hotaru said
"Let's go back now, you two"Mikan grabbed her two friends away from the garbage disposal. Anna and Nonoko waved goodbye to their bittersweeet concoction until they never saw it again.
"Man, I'm glad that those two decided to throw away those rice gelatins"Yuu sighted
"Again, we're so sorry to cause trouble to all of you guys"Anna and Nonoko apologized
"That's okay Anna, Nonoko! It's over, past is past"Mikan said with such encouragment "I know, it's your price pocession, but it's dangerous if you two keep it"
"We know" Anna and Nonoko nods their heads
"So cheer up, and pretend that this event never happens"Ruka said
"Well, you right"Anna said cheerfully
"Yeah, somehow, I feel a lot better"Nonoko said
"That's good"Natsume said
The students were headed to their first period class, which is of course, Mr.Narumi's class. When they arrived inside the classroom, they were surprised that everybody were still doing their usual things inside the classroom
"That's weird, Mr.Narumi's not here yet"Anna said
"But, he nevr gets late"Mikan complained
"And if he's in an important meeting, he'll just send to us the stupid substitute"Koko said
"Hmmmmm"the students wondered
A tall figure happily skips around the road until he crosses over the garbage disposal. Suddenly, the tall figure skips back a few steps and grabbed the box that was lying on the garbage disposal
"Hey, what's this?"Mr.Narumi said and examines the box, until he coincidentally opens the lid
"WOW! Rice gelatin!"he exclaimed "This must be my lucky day! I better take this to the faculty" Then the teacher skips again, with a box of rice gelatin on his hands until he reaches the faculty room
Inside the faculty room
"That's weird" Serina said while looking at her crystal ball
"What is it?"Misaki asked and approached the lady
"Narumi hasn't arrived on his first period class. And the weird part of it is that all of the students were holding their chins and looks up the ceiling"Serina said
"I think that those students were wondering why their eccentric teacher hasn't arrive yet in their classroom"Misaki said while sipping his cup of coffee
"Really, I'm eccentric?"Narumi asked
"Mr.Narumi!" the two teachers gasped
"You should be on your way to your first period class"Serina said
"I know, that's why I'm asking my substitute to go, come one"Mr.Narumi patted the shoulders of his substitute. The substitute sadly went out of the room, and cries really hard at the school hallways
"You know, you should give your substitute a break"Misaki said
"Well, maybe tomorrow, I'll give him a break. Right now, look what I brought!"Mr.Narumi slammed the box on the table and opens the lid, revealing the delicious rice gelatin
"WOW! Rice gelatin!My favorite!!"Misaki praised
"Look, there are only four pieces left..hmm...one for me, for Narumi, Misaki, and Mr.Jinno"Serina said
"I'll take the red bean!"Mr.Narumi quickly grabs the crimson colored gelatin
"Then maybe I should take the vanilla"Misaki said
"Hmm...I think the chocolate flavored looks good"Serina took the gelatin
"OKAY! Itakimasu!"the three teachers were about to eat the gelatin when someone entered the faculty room
"Oh, Mr.Jinno, you're just in time"Narumi said
"Time for what?"Jinno asked
"Narumi brought us rice gelatin!"Misaki said eagerly
"Rice gelatin? That's sounds nice...is there any left?"Jinno asked
"Yes, actually it's the last one"Serina handed over the lemon flavored gelatin to the frog teacher
"Lemon? Misaki, want to trade your vanilla for my lemon?"Jinno asked
"No way! This is my favorite!"Misaki pouted, which is unusual for them to see
"Fine! Well, what are we waiting for?"Jinno asked
"Itakimasu!"the teachers took the first bite of their gelatin and all of them glowed. Until the glowing stops and the teachers transformed into cute little children.
