A few weeks have past and Mikan and Natsume were busy practicing their performance for the upcoming school festival...Which happens to be...
"I can't believe the school festival is next week! Ahhh!! I feel so nervous my stomach is growling"Mikan whined
"Stop whining, we've practiced this song for three executive weekends and for me, that's a huge sacrifice! And probably you're feeling hungry that's why your stomach is growling"Natsume said
"Hmmmm...mmm...mmm...Natsume!!"Mikan said, feeling annoyed and circling around Natsume's room
"Will you shut up, I'm trying to concetrate here...And besides whining about your stomach, why don't you just sit over here and wait! I'll give you snacks later, and right now, I need some solitude"Natsume demanded from Mikan while looking at the musical notes
"Sorry for whining but I can't take it anymore!Let's eat! Right now!"Mikan's body, suddenly has a purplelish glow, which didn't bother Natsume at all
"Natsume, you better give her something to eat or else, something bad will happen. And I know this because I've known her for six years, so..."Hotaru said while riding on her upgraded swan mobile outside Natsume's room
"Hotaru, do you have something to satisfy this little girl's stomach?"Natsume asked while looking at the musical piece
"Yeah, I do, but it'll cost you 50 rabbits"Hotaru said
"Yeah, yeah, yeah, just give me the damn snacks you have and I'll pay you later"Natsume said
"Okay then"Hotaru took out a picnic basket from her swan mobile then thrown it inside Natsume's room
"Again, pay me or you will face serious consequences..Ooops, I have to go"Hotaru suddenly flew away since she saw Ruka riding on a huge eagle that is about to catch her
"Here little girl"Natsume handed the picnic basket to Mikan
"Yehey! Food! Wait a second, where did you get this?"Mikan asked
"From your cursing best friend and eat up, we still have to a lot of things to do"Natsume said
"Yeah...Um...Natsume, aren't you feeling hungry?"Mikan asked
"Just eat"Natsume said
'Grrrr...You meanie!But, thanks Natsume'Mikan giggled and ate her delicious snacks. A few hours has past and it's already 7 pm, she and Natsume had finally finished their song and they both ate their dinner inside Natsume's room
"I'm glad we've finished and rehearsed the song on time! We've made a pretty good team"Mikan said
'She's got a point'Natsume thought "But, I did all the work and all you did is whining"
"Hey! I also sang this afternoon you know! But, I'm glad, that I've get to know you for a bit"Mikan said while looking at the carpeted floor
"What do you mean by to know you for a bit?"Natsume asked while doing the quote fingers
"Um..Well, I realized that you're poetic and a good piano player"Mikan complemented while holding her hands together
"Oh really..."Natsume asked while playing on his glass of wine
"Y-Yeah"Mikan said(while blushing) and smiled to Natsume. Natsume suddenly felt a feeling of nervousness and he looked away from Mikan's presence
"W-Well, you're not bad yourself today...I-I mean to say is.."Natsume stuttered and Mikan looked to him with eyes of curiosity
"Say what?"Mikan asked
"You're not a bad singer as I thought you'd be"Natsume said
"Really?Well, thank you"Mikan said. The two people talked a lot of things. But they didn't know that someone has been spying on them
In Hotaru's room
"Wow, it's the first time I heard Natsume giving a complement to a girl"Ruka said
"Yeah, and those two looks like they're having so much fun"Anna said
"You're right, but they still kept on arguing"Nonoko said
"But, what we're witnessing right now is a big leap for those two. They're opening up with each other"Yuu said
"Whatever, still, those two are total idiots"Hotaru said
"Who would've known that Natsume and Mikan is taking this presentation seriously, especially Natsume?"Koko asked
"Yeah, I know Natsume skips classes and still kept his grades up, but he's usually lazy when it comes to academics and school events, especially school events"Ruka said
"Well, maybe he's different right now because he's spending some time with someone he really likes"Anna said
"Hmmm...Probably..."Ruka thought
"Okay, shut up people! I'm getting some juice from this video"Hotaru's eyes sparked and zoomed the camera, which is unknowingly placed on the picnic basket
"Oh, look at the time!It's late. I better go after this. The food is delicious by the way"Mikan said while helping Natsume fixing the table
"Hn"Natsume said while fixing the dishes
"Look! Natsume's blushing!"Anna pointed
"Oooooh"all of them replied with amazement
After fixing and washing the dishes, and cleaning the table, Mikan said goodbye to Natsume and left his room
"Okay, Mikan's already gone I better turn off this...huh..."Hotaru stopped talking when she saw something on the television screen
"Hey Hotaru, what is it?"Anna and Nonoko said and approached Hotaru then looked at the screen as well
"AAAAAAH! OMG!!!!"the two girls screamed
"Hey Hotaru, Anna, Nonoko what's wrong?"Yuu asked and approached the three girls
Natsume unbuttoned his shirt and unknowingly revealed his half naked body to the camera
"Nyaaaa! Stop it! You shouldn't watch this! Ruka! Koko! Find the remote!"Yuu said but
"Too bad Yuu, I have it"Hotaru smirked and pointed her BAKA cannon to Yuu
"Now, move away from the screen"Hotaru asked and Yuu moved away
"Look! He's about to remove his pants!"Anna exclaimed
"Oh yeah.."Ruka and Koko joined the three girls and watched Natsume stripping
"Hey you guys! Will you stop this? This is againts Natsume's privacy"Yuu said and then the squeling of the two girls stopped and all of them gasped
"Hey, what's wrong?What did you see...GASP!"Yuu covered his mouth as he saw, no, ALL OF THEM saw Natsume's underpants
"I can't believe it"Anna said
"And he gave Mikan a hard time for six years"Nonoko said
"Thank you, KAMISAMA"Hotaru prayed and shed one tear from her eye
"HAHAHA! I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!! PLEASE TURN OFF THE SCREEN! I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!"Koko laughed really, REALLY hard
"I think I'm going to fart! Hahaha!!!"Yuu exclaimed and laughed along with Koko
"Natsume..."Ruka was speechless to see Natsume wearing the most embarassing underpants
"Okay, okay, that's enough"Hotaru turned off the screen
"Thanks for the home videos Hotaru! Let's do it again sometime"Yuu said
"Sure"Hotaru said
"Wow, I didn't know that...And I'm his best friend. I usually go to his room but I'd never noticed it"Ruka said
"That Natsume is ACTUALLY wearing polkadotted boxers"Koko said
"Yeah!"Ruka exclaimed
"He's so unfair you know!"Nonoko complained
"Yeah! I know! Now they have matching underpants"Anna exclaimed
"Who's they?"Yuu asked
"Mikan and Natsume of course!"Anna said
"Okay, let's keep this to ourselves shall we?"Ruka asked
"Sure...sure!"they replied to Ruka's desicion
The next day...
Mikan arrived early this morning and the witnesses to Mikan and Natsume's practice didn't utter a word
"Good morning Yuu!"Mikan greeted
Yuu just waved his hand and walked away from the classroom and started giggling
"Good morning Anna! Nonoko!"Mikan greeted
The two girls just waved their hands and then continued with their work
"Good morning Hotaru! Is their something wrong why Yuu, Anna and Nonoko can't speak?"Mikan asked
"Maybe...they're just..tired"Hotaru said
"Hmmm...Maybe you're right!"Mikan said with a smile and went to her seat. And then, Natsume and Ruka entered the room but everybody noticed Ruka sweating and curling his lips like he's holding his breath, especially Natsume
"Good morning Ruka! Natsume!"Mikan greeted
Ruka just waved to Mikan while Natsume just ignored her. The two boys took a seat and Natsume begins to wonder about Ruka's current state
"Ruka, is there something wrong?"Natsume asked
"O-Oh ! N-N-Nothing! I-I'm just fine! See!"Ruka just smiled and wiped his sweat with his hankerchief
"Oookay"Natsume said and started reading his manga
So the secret of Natsume was safely kept by the witnesses of his practice with Mikan, which is mainly composed of, Ruka Nogi, Yuu Tobita, Hotaru Imai, Kokoryomi, Anna and Nonoko
