Mikan and Natsume were finished eating the cookies and now, both of them were embarassed to even start a conversation...Until now...
"Mikan, how much did you hear from our conversation?"Natsume asked seriously
"What conversation?"Mikan asked sarcastically
"Mikan..."Natsume said
"Oh, that conversation"Mikan looked down and played with her fingers "Well, pretty much, everything"
"So?"Natsume asked
"So...what?"Mikan asked
"Is that all? Aren't you gonna say something?"Natsume asked
"To tell you the truth, I don't know what to say...about the conversation..I'm so, shocked to hear that, Natsume Hyuuga loves Me, Mikan Sakura. The girl he usually bullies around. The girl he ignores and almost invisible to him. The girl who, is also known as polka-dots, strawberry-print girl, idiot, or any hurtful names"Mikan looked at the water in the fountain, showing the full moon's reflection
"I pretty much, don't know, what to do right now"Mikan frowned and looked at Natsume. Natsume looked at Mikan seriously and their faces were sort of, near, but not too much...
"I know what you can do Mikan"Natsume said and he pulled himself nearer to Mikan.
"What Natsume, what should I do?"Mikan asked
"Answer this question, and be honest"Natsume said straightforwardly to Mikan and she just nodded
"Mikan Sakura, do you feel the same way about me?"Natsume asked seriously and he looked straightly to Mikan's eyes
'His eyes, they look much softer and warmer than before' Mikan thought
'Do I feel the same way? Think Mikan, this is a crucial situation for you...How do I feel whenever I'm with Natsume?' Mikan tries to looks back to the days she spent with Natsume...
'He always teases me a lot. He has a huge reputation to be a troublemaker, but some people say that it's not true. They said that Natsume is actually, a gentle and caring person, but he doesn't show it much. I know that, he's being used by the academy because of his powerful alice. Even though his life is at risk, he still continues to work for the academy, just to protect us. He, thinks of other people first, before himself because those people were important to him, and I'm one of those people. The day when he almost left us, I felt like crying..the day when he called me by my first name, my heart beats so fast...when he said that I'm everything to him, I felt...I felt...' Mikan's eyes suddenly widens and Natsume knows what's that signifies...
"So Mikan...what is your answer?"Natsume asked her, and this time, the tone of his voice, was a bit softer, calmer to be specific..
"Natsume, I, I..."Mikan was about to say the magic word but...
"Wh-What's happening? How come the fountain is glowing?"Mikan asked and stood up. She distanced herself from the fountain and Natsume followed her
"I don't know"Natsume said. Then the fountain starts to pour out water..
"Whoa"Natsume and Mikan said
Meanwhile...
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, BOYS AND GIRLS, IN A FEW MINUTES, THE MAIN HIGHLIGHT OF THIS SCHOOL FESTIVAL IS ABOUT TO BEGIN, THE LAST DANCE! SO BETTER GET A PARTNER!
"Hey Yuu, the Last Dance is about to start"Sumire said and she took hold of Yuu's arm
"Well, guys see you lateeeeeerrr!!"Yuu said quickly since he's being dragged by Sumire
"So Anna, let's go to our partners!"Nonoko said
"Yeah! I bet they're waiting for us at the dancefloor"Anna agreed and they walked together toward their partners
"Hotaru, want to be my Last Dance partner?"Ruka asked and Hotaru was startled
"But, Nogi, why me?"Hotaru asked
"Well, because I wanted too"Ruka said and Hotaru looked at the other way, so that Ruka wouldn't notice her blushing face
"So..."Ruka waits for Hotaru's answer
"Let's go, before I change my mind"Hotaru took Ruka's arm and Ruka was smiling while they're walking towards the dancefloor
"Finally! We're here!"Haruhi said with praise
"CIVILIZATION!"Tamaki and the twins exclaimed
"Kyouya-sempai, Hunny-sempai, Mori-sempai, what's happening here?"Haruhi asked
"Well, the last dance is about the start"Kyouya said
"Last Dance?"the twins asked
"It's a tradition of this school, right?"Hunny asked Mori and Mori just nodded
"Actually, there is a legend to this tradition"Kyouya said
"Really?"Tamaki asked with eagerness
"They say that during the last dance, the love between two people will be eternal"Kyouya said and that rings a bell to Tamaki and the twins
'Uh-oh, something bad is gonna happen' Haruhi thought and she looked at the Tamaki and the twins, all fired up
"I think I need to go to the girl's room"Haruhi ran as fast as she could to the girl's room and Tamaki and the twins didn't even noticed her leaving
Ladies and Gentlemen, boys and girls, The Last Dance...
The boys and girls starts to dance, following the flow of the music.
Youichi and Kirimi were dancing, in a playful way.
Anna and Nonoko winked secretly at each other for having dates at the last dance, the same thing was done by their dates
as well.
Yuu and Sumire were smiling at each other and seems to talk to each other while dancing.
Ruka and Hotaru can't seem to face at each other while they're dancing until they glance at each other once and both of them blushed.
Nekozawa finally used the emergency cape that Otonashi took with her, since he can't stay under the light much longer. Otonashi simply giggled when Nekozawa covered himself.
Kyouya,the twins, Mori and Hunny were asked by three unknown girls and they sincerely took the proposals
Tamaki was left alone, at the Host Club table, I wonder why...
"Tamaki-sempai, how come you're all alone here?"a certain girl asked behind Tamaki
"I was, waiting for someone"Tamaki turned around and saw...
"Haruhi!"Tamaki was surprised and he suddenly stood up from his chair
"What's with the expression sempai?"Haruhi asked
"Well, never mind the expression, I was waiting for you"Tamaki said
"Waiting for me?"Haruhi asked
"For The Last Dance... I want you, Haruhi, to be my dance partner"Tamaki took hold both of Haruhi's hands and looked straight through Haruhi's chocolate orbs.
"Why?"Haruhi asked
"Because, because, I want to! Now lets go!"Tamaki carries Haruhi
"WH-WHA! SEMPAI! WAIT A MINUTE!"Haruhi said but Tamaki carried her all the way to the dance floor
Back to Mikan and Natsume...
"Wow, what a beautiful fountain"Mikan said while looking at the sparkling fountain
"But, how? That fountain is ancient"Natsume asked
"Well, I guess, miracles happen"Mikan smiled and looked at Natsume. Natsume took hold of her left hand and Mikan tightens her grip on Natsume's hand
"I love you"Mikan said to Natsume and she smiled at him. Natsume smiled at her too
"Thank you"Natsume said and he moved closer to Mikan's face
"Can I..."Natsume asked
"Please, you don't have to ask!" Mikan said and grabbed Natsume's face and she kissed him. And Natsume kissed her back, then took hold of her waist while Mikan wrapped her arms around Natsume's neck.
BOOM!
BOOM!
"Wow"
"Beautiful!"
The students were awed by the fireworks display during the Last Dance. And some just continued to dance...
