Mikan's a very normal highschool girl. Not popular, not genius, not too pretty or too ugly. She's someone behind the curtains and doesn't stand out much. Enemy : the popular, rich, smart, snobby and selfish Luna with huge façade in school. The guy : the oh-so-great Natsume Hyuuga, almost perfect he is, but not really interested in anything with the word 'school'. This story's trying to prove that friendship and love are the most beautiful colors in life, and how impossible fairytales can happen.

o+o

The guys just finished their game, and now it's time for the girls to start their game. Unfortunately, not everything can go smoothly, especially when one of the girls' team's members just went away.

"Why the hell are you congratulating us again ?" Koko asked unpleasantly to the two fake barbie dolls.

"Well….to show our honest supports, of course." replied Wakako with a sweet smile and a smirk.

Anna, Nonoko, Hotaru, and Permy watched this with pure hatred in their eyes.

"Yeah, just to say we're very happy for you guys." Luna said this time, with an evil sweet smile still plastered on her face.

"If that so, then why the hell are you freaking touchin Nat -" Permy snapped, but Luna cut her.

"I wasn't touching him." Luna said, emphasizing the words and looked unpleased.

"Yeah, so what did you call that kiss? Putting your lips on him on purpose ?" This time, Anna snapped out, can't stand the bitch's attitude.

"Don't tell me you're jealous, huh?" replied Wakako with a mocking tone.

"She's not, but she's right." Hotaru said with a cold tone.

"Well, it's only on the cheek, and as long as Natsume's fine with it, then it is fine, right, Nat-su-me?" Luna said while snaked he arm around Natsume's neck.

"Get off, bitch." Natsume finally said and get her hand off him with disgust.

His crimson eyes burning with anger, and he's restraining himself from slapping Luna.

Ruka and Inchou immediately step besides Natsume, in case he's gonna slap her, at least they're ready to hold him down.

Luna and Wakako's eyes widen and Wakako immediately said, "That's not polite, especially to girls, and a pretty girl too in this case."

The girls looked like they're about to blow up, while the guys looked really disgusted.

"And it is not polite to kiss and hug someone without their permission." Inchou said sternly.

Luna answered again, "Really? If that person's fine with it, then-"

Kitsu cut her before she's finished, "That person is not fine with it, and he doesn't like you at all."

"Says you !" Wakako snapped at Kitsu's statement.

"Says me. Now go away, or else." Natsume said again, still with the murderous aura around him.

"Really? Are you sure? Since the difference between like and dislike is not that far, you know." Luna purred, with a seducing gesture and voice.

"That's just disgusting, eww." Nonoko said while her expression is totally mocking Luna.

"How dare you say that ! Can you girly freaks just go away now? I, am having a conversation with my future boyfriend and his friends right now, and-" Luna said again, but abruptly stopped.

"He will never be your guy, he hates you, we hate you, so you both, better go now." Ruka, who hasn't say a word, surprisingly said the fact that everybody's thinking right now.

Luna and Wakako twitched at his statement, but eventually walk away.

Wakako then said before they left, "This ain't over yet, and I will make you pay for what you all said about us. Me, Luna, and my girls," she pointed at their followers that has multiplied by number behind them, "will make sure we get what we want. I never failed."

With that, the gang finally let out a glad sigh.

"Damn those bitches. I just wanna slap them ! Urghh !" Permy started to grumble around.

"They act real good so far, huh? Being nice and goody two shoes around us." Kitsu said.

"Well, they're good around you guys, not around us girls, too bad, eh?" replied Nonoko.

"But it's glad to know the real them. So we can beware for their next…move." Inchou said in return.

The group nodded, and suddenly, an announcement was heard, "Ladies, gentlemen, and teenagers, in 5 minutes, the girls' 'Dodge Ball' competition will be started. For the girl contestants, please gather in the middle of the field now."

The gang immediately looked at each other, knowing the exact same thing that becomes the problem here.

"Mikan…. I don't think she should play." Anna said.

"Why did she suddenly go anyway?" Koko pretends to ask densely, while he knows the answer really well.

The girls juts stare at each other again, but none of them answered the question.

"Hyuuga, go find her." Hotaru said while staring at the field.

Natsume looked taken aback and replied, "She won't listen to me."

"Why not?" Ruka asked this time.

"I called her, and she didn't budge, remember?" Natsume said with a blank expression.

"I called her first, then after that, you called her." Permy added, pointing out how passive he is.

"What are you trying to say?" asked Natsume impatiently.

"It means, you actually are an idiot." Hotaru said again coldly.

Natsume twitched at her statement, then Kitsu said, "Alright, alright, just forget that, so now, Natsume, just go and find Mikan, right?"

Unfortunately, the owner of the crimson eyes replied, "I don't think I should do it."

Koko groaned, and Anna said, "Well, just do it, please Natsume? We will tell the judges that Mikan is not feeling well so she can't play."

Natsume twitched his eyebrows again, unsatisfied with her answer.

With that, Ruka finally said, "Don't play dumb, Nastume. You know Mikan's jealous, so don't play hard to get and just go after her."

"Yeah dude, it's time for you to finally get interested in a girl." said Kitsu who got glared from the crimson eyes owner.

Nastume let out a deep sigh, then answered, "That girl doesn't look jea-"

Before he finished, Nonoko cut his words. "Yes. Yes she is. Her mood swings are totally obvious."

"But although she can't lie well, her fake smiles always help her." added Permy.

Natsume's expression is really unreadable, but he said the answer everyone's expecting to hear, "Alright, I'll go."

Then, he started his pace in the direction Mikan Sakura went.

'Mikan's POV'

Damn it. Damn it. Damn it.

These are the only words that keep on circling my mind.

Damn it.

I look at my surroundings, no one's around. Then I looked at the small wooden fences in front of me.

Northern Forest.

I looked around, still no signs of anybody around. I took a deep sigh, then started to enter the forest.

Actually I'm scared to be alone like this, but since my mind couldn't think properly, I guess my body just moved on it's own.

Why did I go away? Why did I go after I saw Luna so close around him?

Too many answers are in my head.

Suddenly, a strong wind gushed, realizing me to reality, and I started to look around.

As far as I look, I can only see trees.

Dang it.

I quickly turned around, and it's just the exact same view as in front of me. Trees.

This is not good.

I started to run at one direction that I guess will lead me to the right way, but I regret it. I slipped at the muddy ground underneath me, and I felt my body's falling fast. For all things that could happen, I fell down, real great.

My eyes started to widen. This is like déjà vu. That time, when I almost fell, but he caught me on time.

Yes, he did caught me on time. Natsume Hyuuga did.

I closed my eyes, and felt my body's stiff and hurt at the impact. Know what? It actually hurts.

This time, he's not around to help me anymore.

I stumble along to stand up, then I checked if I'm wounded anywhere.

My left knee is bleeding, and my other knee got a small scratch that also bleed, while both of my arms got small scratches. I'm pretty sure my sport uniform's dirty now, but I don't care.

"Damn it," I muttered under my breath, than wobbled at my way to sit under a tree.

I slowly sit down, stretch my legs out, and rest my head against the tree. Again, I let out a deep sigh. Yeah, I guess I need a time to think that I shouldn't left.

I slowly closed my eyes, trying to light my heavy head.

Great, now what should I say if they ask me why did I run ?

Because I'm jealous? Because I'm scared?

I shook my head at those thoughts. Unfortunately, they're real.

I'm scared that I like him too much.

No guy has been able to make my heart beat faster, until I met him. Until I saw him at that coffee shop. This sucks.

I'm scared I would be left alone.

I felt like a stupid girl with lovesick disease now.

Being left alone, I doubt I can bear the pain again.

God, I've only known that guy for what? Less than a week, but I got head over heels at him. Can't believe this.

Now I actually know the reason why lovesick people don't think straight.

Foolish me to still believe in love at first sight.

Maybe, just maybe, if that thing didn't happen two years ago, I could be more honest, no more fake smiles, no more fake cheerfulness, just me.

Just maybe….i wouldn't be this scared to get broken hearted.

Just maybe, i could feel the fairytale in my life, a happy ending with someone that i truly deserve, maybe...

'Natsume's POV`

Stupid girl. Where the hell did she go?

I keep on running at the road's path. She wouldn't leave the tracks, right?

I ran for a few minutes, until a big view is on sight.

Northern Forest.

Is she dumb enough to go inside? Considering that this is Mikan, I think she is dumb enough.

Unconsciously, I let out a small chuckle, then started to step inside the forest.

I just walked straight ahead from the wooden fences.

Although I already memorized the whole path in this forest, I got a feeling that that childish girl, who of course will get lost, would walk or run straight ahead.

I walked a little bit fast, hoping I could spot her soon.

Damn that girl, that baka, she always unconsciously attract my attention. I've always interested in her from the first place. I would care at her because I just do.

That's the difference with that bitch, Luna did attract my attention because she tried to. She had to put a big effort, just to grab a tiny bit of my attention.

This is just sucks.

Why in the hell didn't I realize it before? Oh right, because that Luna tries to grab everyone's attention, so no one realized it, what a joke.

Just plain great, now I really have to find Mikan, fast.

I started to walk even faster, but still, no signs of Mikan.

Where the hell did she go to?

After more and more minutes of walking, I finally spotted a figure lying against a tree a few meters in front of me.

Yeah, finally.

I slowly make my way there, trying not to make any sound.

As I walk slowly, I looked at her figure closely, and she looked asleep. Her uniform and face are covered with dirt, her glasses rested loosely above her nose, her long brown hair messed up a bit, and she looked really tired.

I sighed soundlessly, seriously, she looked like a big mess. And I'm restraining myself to not run towards her.

When I reached her, I stood beside her sitting figure.

I guess she didn't realize that I'm here, well, she does look asleep.

I gently touch her shoulder, trying to see if she's actually sleeping.

Suddenly, she shot her eyes open, and quickly turned her gaze towards me.

Okay, so she's not actually asleep, which is actually not good.

She looked terribly shocked, and her eyes, God, she looked totally scared, she looked like a poor sheep that unexpectedly met a wolf.

Unfortunately, I'm the wolf here.

"Polka." I said, trying to make her stop looking at me like I'm going to hurt her.

Unfortunately, her expression's still dull, and she looked unfocused.

"Hey, Polka, it's me. Are you alright?" I asked her again. Damn, I really want her to stop being scared.

Why is she so scared, anyway ?

Slowly, her expression soften, and she hoarsely said, "Y-yes. I-I'm fine."

I looked at her trembling figure closely and twitched my eyebrows at her reply. She is definitely not alright.

"Really?" I said sarcasticly, and she looked nervously at me.

"Well….yeah…" Mikan replied again, but she doesn't look so sure.

Before I can reply her, she suddenly looked surprised again and quickly stammered, "Umm, I, uh, I-I just remembered that I need to…uh..to-to.. go ! Yes, to go ! So…uhm..I'll take my leave now…and…"

I looked at her suspiciously and she gulped.

"You're not good at lying." I stated.

She looked guilty, but said afterwards, "N-no ! I'm not lying ! No…"

"Yeah, where do you need to go?" I asked her even more sarcasticly this time.

She looked taken aback, and looked more nervous, "Uhm-that's…uh…"

"You need to go to the field for the game." I said again with sarcasm, I actually helped her made up a reason, tch.

She immediately blushed, realizing that her lie has completely failed, and said, "Y-yeah, right."

I sighed loudly and said, "Forget that, your friends don't let you to play."

She looked really surprised, and said, "What ? But I can play, I mean….." Polka tried to stood up quickly, but suddenly she wobble and fell.

I quickly catch one of her arms while her other hand hold on to the tree. She hissed in pain, and now she's avoiding my gaze.

Something's not right.

I looked at her arm that I'm holding, and I can see a little bruise. I quickly let go of it, so she won't get hurt from my grip.

I eye her suspiciously, and she just gulped.

Immediately, I took a step backward so I'm face to face with her.

I looked at her from head to toe, and my eyes widen.

"You're bleeding." I sternly said, trying to restrain my anger.

"Well, it's only a little-" she started to protest, but I cut her, "Why the hell didn't you tell me?"

She looked down and mumbled something.

I glared at her and asked, "What did you say?"

"You didn't ask." She said slowly, and I gritted my teeth. I said sarcasticly, "Right, and this is also one of the reasons you can't play in the games."

She pouted, looked unsatisfied, while I just rubbed my temple.

"Come on, let's go to the infirmary first to clean that wound, then we can talk about this later." I finally said.

Suddenly she took a step backward, and said, "N-no, I can go on my own, so don't bother."

I twitched m eyebrows and said, "You can't. You're going with me, Polka." I said again.

"Hey, i told you I can do it myself, and don't call me Polka." She protested.

I sighed again, this is getting nowhere.

"Let me get this straight. You're lost and you're bleeding. So how the hell can you get to the infirmary by your own, huh?" I said impatiently.

She looked guilty, and said nothing.

"Do you really hate it when I'm around?" I finally said the one thing that looked like happening now.

She looked surprised, but she didn't say a word.

I looked at her again, and she looks like she really wants to avoid me.

"Natsume ! Of course n-not, I mean, I actually don't want you to stay away, but…" Mikan looked at me straight in the eyes, trying to make me convinced with everything she got.

I looked back at her, then said, "But what?"

She gulped, then continued, "But I would bother you a lot. I've been such a bother for so long, and I don't want you to be troubled because I'm too clumsy and such, so…."

Her voice is trembling, and she's averting her gaze to the ground.

She's not actually being honest, I know that there's another meaning of her words, but I just keep silent.

She's being awfully…..different now. Her face is not cheerful anymore, and she's not full with energy like usual.

"Alright, I get it. I'll forgive you if you go to the infirmary with me, deal?" I unconsciously smirk at this idea.

Polka, who immediately realized the change of situation, luckily back to her character, "That's not fair ! Natsumee !" she pouted, and I just chuckled.

"So, what's your answer?" I asked again.

She mumbled something then answered, "Alright, alright. I'll go with you."

I smirked in victory, then step forward so I'm in front of her, and asked, "Can you walk?"

She flushed and answered, "Of-of course ! Hmph."

With that, she started to take a step forward, but suddenly wobble and fell, again.

This time, I hold both of her wrists, preventing her from falling.

She blushed madly, and whispered, "Thanks."

I smiled a bit, then quickly sweep her out of her feet, and carry her in my arms.

"Wh-wh-what the hell ! N-natsume ! Put me down, you jerk, put me down !" Mikan immediately said loudly.

"Shut up, little girl. You can barely walk, and the forest is not the best place to walk in pain." I replied lightly.

She groaned and struggle as hard as she could, trying to get off off me.

"You'll make your wound worse, just stay still, will you?" I said again, and start walking.

"B-but, I'm heavy ! Noooo ! Put me down !" she yelled again, and I twitched my eyebrows.

"Well, you're definitely not slim, but-" before I finished, she cut my words and blushed madly again, "Hey ! I know I'm heavy, but you don't have to point that out ! It's embarrassing, you jerk !"

Her face is as red as tomato now, and I unconsciously let out a small laugh, "I'm not finished, baka. I said you're not that light, but you're not too heavy either. I'm used to worked out, so it's fine, idiot."

She groaned again, and replied, "But still, it's also embarrassing if people see this !"

I let out a smirk, and said, "It is, for you."

She blushed again, and plead, "Alright, alright, but pleaseee, please put me down after we reached the end of the forest, okay?"

I smirked again, and finally said, "Alright, alright."

`Mikan's POV. Infirmary`

"N-no, no, stay away, no !" I practically pleaded.

Natsume raised his eyebrows, but I just shook my head even harder.

"Baka, you don't want to get infected, right?" he asked me to the point.

I shook my head again, but added, "But it's hurt !"

He sighed and looked at me closely, but I just gulped.

He walked towards the bed where I'm sitting, and I started to panic.

"N-no, no, don't you-" before I finished, he cut my words and said, "It will only hurt a bit, Polka. Your wound is cleaned with water already, but it also has to-"

"Noo ! Alcohol will hurt it more !" I whined, no way I'll let that painful liquid get any closer to my precious knee.

"You baka, it will only hurt a little, and your wound can heal faster." He added impatiently.

I gulped again.

"Just stay still, okay? I'll do it." He said, then started to come even closer with a small piece of cloth and alcohol on both of his hands.

"J-just, carefully, okay?" I said in a whisper.

He nodded, then started to pour a small amount of alcohol to the cloth, and I immediately closed my eyes.

I peeked a little, and I can feel he's sitting on the floor, then holding my trembling leg, and put the cloth on top of my wounded left knee.

I immediately hissed in pain, after a few moments, he took the cloth off, and do the same thing for my right knee.

After that, he put on some other liquid to heal the wounds on both of my knee. Then, he took a rather big band-aid and plastered it.

"Th-thanks, Natsume." I said with a hoarse voice, and I quickly cleared my throat.

He smirked and said, "Chicken."

I blushed madly, and replied, "Who cares, hmph."

"Come on, I'll treat your scratches too." said Natsume while standing up.

I almost nodded when I finally realized that this is sooo embarrassing, I mean, yeah, I'm not used to be treated like this by a guy, especially by this kind of guy, ughh, I can blush non-stop this way…

"Hey, baka, stop spacing out." He said again, and I jerked a bit at his point.

He started to pour the alcohol and the other liquid to the cloth, and I immediately said, "Erm, Natsume, l-let me do it instead, I-I can do it myself, I mean, you don't have to-"

"Baka. I can do it faster than you do, so don't move." He lightly cut my words, and I can just gulped, and stare at his doings.

He pulled a chair and sit in front of me. Somehow, I feel like I'm going to blush again.

"Here," he said while pulling my arm, and treat the scratches.

I looked at him closely, he looked really caring right now, no annoying teasing Natsume, and I smiled a bit.

Sometimes, he could be nicer, huh?

"Oi, what are you grinning at, idiot?" a voice cracked my imagination, and I scowled.

Right, there goes his 'nice' personality.

"Hmph, nothing." I said in return.

He smirked and chuckled, but that's enough to make me blushed like a tomato.

"Alright then." He said with another smirk.

"Heyy, don't you dare laugh ! What's funny ?" I pouted at his reaction.

"Yeah, yeah." He replied shortly, and continue treating my scratches.

Damn it, how can I stay away from him now?

`Normal POV. Sports Field`

"Okay, it's been like almost 2 hours, and where the heck are they ?" Permy walked back and forth, and her hands are on her hips.

"Calm down, Permy, it's only been 1 hour, you know." Anna said, trying to cool her down.

"Do you think Natsume found her?" Kitsu asked the gang.

Unfortunately, the question left unanswered, since no one can figure it out.

"Well, let's think positive, I'm pretty sure he found her." Inchou said with concern.

They all nodded, and Ruka finally said, "I'll call him."

"I guess you should, since Mikan left her phone here." Nonoko added.

"Don't. I'm writing the article about Hyuuga right now." said Hotaru coldly.

Koko's eyes widen, and he replied, "Weren't you uploading pictures only?"

"I do both." Hotaru replied again, then started typing with all of her might.

"Haha, good one, Imai." Kitsu said while laughing.

"Wait a second guys, it's that them?" Anna suddenly said while pointing her finger at the front side of the now empty sport field, while they're sitting on the bleachers.

All eight heads turned towards the two figures who are walking to the bleachers.

"Hey ! You're all here !" Mikan said happily.

"Well, sure we are." Nonoko answered with a smile, knowing that her friend has returned to normal stake.

"You're hurt?" Hotaru asked in a sudden and everybody starts to examine her from head to toe.

"Yeahh, I kinda slipped and fell back there." said Mikan sheepily.

"Not a surprise for a baka." Natsume added with no guilt.

"Right." said Hotaru again, while the rest of them just chuckled at the conversation.

"That's so not true !" Mikan protested at the statement.

"Hah ! You are a baka to be hurt like that ! Lucky you didn't play the game." Permy said in a snap.

"Wait a second, how was the game?" Mikan quickly asked.

"They didn't play, well, they're kind of withdrawing the game today, since the rule's to play with the whole team members, no less." Inchou explained.

Mikan avert her gaze to the girls and said, "Sorry girls, I didn't think-"

"No problem, Mikan, you're hurt anyway, so it's fine." said Nonoko.

"Yeah, no big deal." added Anna.

"Pay me 500 yen and I'll forgive you." said Hotaru with money signs on her eyes.

"What ? Come on, Hotaru, isn't Ruka enough to be your money source?" protested Mikan again.

"Hahahahaha, you got the title, man, 'money source' ! So you're ready to be the head of the family, huh?" said Koko with a laugh.

"The hell with you Koko ! And Imai, you- " before Ruka finished, Hotaru snapped, "Do you have any problems, bunny boy?"

Ruka just growled at her statement and end up mumbling 'nothing'.

"Good." said Hotaru again with a satisfied smile.

Suddenly the school bell rings, giving the sign that they're allowed to go home.

"Oh what the heck ! I just realized that I should go to the dentist !" Mikan nearly yelled to the whole field.

"Hey, chill, Mikan, haha, you don't want to attract any attention, right?" Kitsu said.

Mikan blushed immediately, and Permy said, "You better not forget about the sleepover."

"Sure not ! I'm really excited about it too !" replied Mikan with a big grin plastered on her face.

"Mikan, you sure you can go home with public bus while your knee are in that condition?" Anna asked with concern.

Natsume immediately twitched at this, while Ruka quickly added, "Yeah, it's sort of unsave."

"And who knows if something bad happen." added Inchou.

"Or you'll fall again." said Natsume.

Mikan just pouted with unsatisfied at the bitter fact she gets.

"You'll go home with me." said Hotaru flatly.

Mikan widen her eyes and said, "What?"

Hotaru continued, "Yeah, so you can sleepover from tonight."

"Oh my gosh ! Thanks a lot lot lot Hotaru !" squealed Mikan and tried to hug Hotaru, who immediately swift away.

"Alright then, let's go home everyone ! See you guys on Monday !" Kitsu said, closing their meeting for today.

'Hotaru's POV. Mikan's House'

Slowpoke.

It's the one thing to describe this girl who apparently wanders around her room for the last 30 minutes with no result.

"Hey idiot. The world will end first before you finished packing." I said.

"So cruel Hotaru ! Come on, I kinda confused what to bring and so on." Mikan protested.

I just sighed and rub my temple, then looked around the now messy room.

"Just a little bit more, and I'm done !" she said again while walking around her room to put things inside her light orange sports bag.

I shook my head, and jumped out of her bed to look around, especially at her desk.

Maybe there's something I can use to blackmail….

Her desk is just simple, full with books, writing utensils, laptop, but there's one thing that catch my attention, a photo album.

I smirk and I can feel my eyes glint as I flip the pages open.

"Hotaruu ! Says who you can look at those embarrassing pictures ?" Mikan said loudly.

"Me."

She groaned, and I said again, "7 minutes more, or I'll leave you."

"Oh come on, Hotaru, but you were very nice to have taken me to the dentist too." Mikan laughed, and this time, I started to see her face carefully.

There's no more ugly braces to minus her look. Only those stupid glasses left.

"Know what, you look better this way." I said.

"Nah, I think it's the same." She replied.

I just shrugged and closed the photo album which is full of her photos from baby until now, also with her family.

I looked at her desk again, and my eyes focused in a snap.

I quickly take the not too thick book, and flip the pages as fast as I can, until I reached that page.

This…

"Hey, Hotaru, what are you looking-" Mikan stopped talking, and her eyes widen at what I'm holding.

I stared at her awkward figure, and started to speak, "I know what you're thinking."

Mikan finally continued packing and said, "Yeah, it's been a long time since I last opened it."

I sighed and stare at the book I'm holding right now. It's her Junior High's yearbook.

Yeah, I opened it to see the face of one person who gave her nightmares back then.

Unfortunately, the nightmares were real. He gave her lots of horrible memories.

He-

"I'm done ! Yay !" I heard Mikan squealed in joy, and I just nodded.

"Let's go."

`Normal POV. Hotaru's House`

"Geez Hotaru ! You never told me that your house is this big !" Mikan said while staring at the high ceiling and spacious room she's at.

"Idiot. Let's go up." Hotaru said and starting to go upstairs.

Hotaru's house is really huge, it has a big front yard with a small fountain in the middle, the grass and flowers are arranged neatly with a few trees surrounding the place.

Inside her 3 storey house are marble tiles with cream white wallpaper, there are the spacious living room which Mikan's at, kitchen, backyard, swimming pool, and so on at the first floor.

The second floor contains bedrooms and another living room, while the third floor is her personal lab, and her family members' working rooms.

"Hey baka, do you want to come in or what?" Hotaru who's opening her bedroom stated impatiently at Mikan who's busy looking around her luxury surroundings.

"Heheh, of course I'll come in ! Wait ! Don't lock the door ! Hotaruu !" Mikan immediately said loudly and laugh at the same time.

Hotaru just smirked in satisfy, and started to look at Mikan who looked really different without her braces.

"Right, you actually really look better this way." Hotaru said, and Mikan just laughed again and replied, "Well, I hope so."

`Luna's POV. Koizumi Mansion`

"So, Luna dear, you didn't show me which one is Mikan back there." Lucy said, unsatisfied.

Luna laughed in victory and said, "Well, she's so jealous with me until she even withdraw the game !"

Lucy's eyes widen and she joined the laugh.

"Yeah, but more problems coming." Luna said again.

"What is it? The boy?"

"Yes. Natsume Hyuuga. He likes her. I know it." Luna said with anger, and Lucy just scowled.

"Then threaten the Mikan 'pest', just force her to go away, since I know that Hyuugas are hard to get." Lucy said lightly.

"Really ? How do you know, mom?"

"Well, one of my friends tried to seduce his father, Ioran Hyuuga, but failed. I also wonder why…" answered Lucy.

"Hmph, well I do get information to bring that bitch down."

Lucy's eyes brighten and she said, "That's my daughter."

`Normal POV`

It's just another peaceful night, about 8 o'clock or so, when a girl lightly approach the telephone that lays silently on the desk. A small paper is in her hands, as she dial the cell phone numbers that are written on it. After a few rings, finally the silent broke.

"Hello?" asked the other person on the line.

"I know who you are. We need to talk." A sweet voice came out of the girl's mouth as she replied.

"Who's this?"

"Someone who will make you remember your glorious moments."
