Sorry it's taken me so long to write up a new chapter. I've been extremely busy, and I'd sorta lost track of time. A big thanks to dastunninglitoanjo who finally reminded me that I was slacking and got me back to work. Thanks to all my reviewers, and again…SORRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"Okay guys," Christina said nervously, "Joke's over. What are you talking about?"
"Simple." Hotaru sighed, "You are Mikan."
"Look!" Mikan retorted, "This really isn't funny! You don't think I'm that girl, right Yuu?"
Yuu smiled at her, his eyes blank, "Of course not, Christina. Hotaru is just guessing. Okay?"
"See," Christina exclaimed, "He doesn't think so. Now, can we stop fooling around and go eat dinner. I'm starved."
"Sure." Ruka laughed, "Let's go."
"Awesome Ruka-pyo---…Race you!" Christina corrected herself. The friends exchanged looks, then followed Christina to dinner.
Later that night, Mikan collapsed on her bed, exhausted.
"You're going to have to tell them soon," Persona chided her, "You're draining your power too fast by keeping up this disguise all day long. What if you need a sudden burst of power…you'll be all tapped out!"
Christina sighed, "Who cares? I'm not using most of my power anyway. Where's dad tonight?"
"Narumi wasn't able to make it."
"Fine. Do you want to verse me in Halo 2?"
"You're going down, Squirt!"
The next Day
Mikan was in her room, brushing her hair on her bed, when she heard a knock on her door.
"Come in!" she yelled, not paying attention.
"Hey. We were just wondering if you wanted to come to Central Town with us." Koko spoke up from the doorway.
Mikan lay back, so that her head faced the door, upside down. "Great idea. Are there good blackmail opportunities today, Hotaru?" She was secretly hoping that they had forgotten about yesterday...and from the looks on the faces at the door, Mikan was in luck.
Hotaru held up her camera in response to Mikan's question.
"Perfect!" Mikan grinned, and she rolled backwards off the bed and grabbed her camera.
At Central Town
"Woah!" It's even bigger-" Hotaru glanced at her, "- then the one in France!" Mikan quickly finished.
Natsume smirked at Youichi, who glanced at Mikan.
"So Christina, what was it like in France?" Ruka asked innocently. Yesterday's conversation was still fresh in everyone's mind, even though they kept their interest from their faces. Yuu's defense of Christina had been too well timed and he didn't even remember what he said. Besides, he agreed with Hotaru.
"It was fine. All schools are the same right! Oh! Fluff puffs!! I'll be right back!!" Christina yelled as she ran off.
"I didn't know they had fluff puffs in France." Koko murmured in surprise.
"They don't." Hotaru remembered. "That's one of the reasons I know she's lying. The other is that I hacked into the French Academy's database and haven't found a record of any of the girls, and that includes Mikan and her sister."
"So where can we find this sister of her's, cause she might know what Mikan looks like in disguise." Yuu thought outloud.
"That's her." Youichi spoke up, pointing to a petit blonde girl walking with Mr. Narumi.
"That was easy" Ruka sweat-dropped.
"Oh my Gawd!!" Sumire yelled, "Isn't that Ryo?"
Ryo was aboard a helicopter, hovering above the academy grounds.
"You can run, my little Miss Sakura, but you cant hide from me forever." He cried, leaping down onto the ground. Everyone backed up.
"Ah." Ryo sighed, "If it isn't the little brat with the barrier alice. I remember you. You stopped me from using the children in France." He was looking at Mikan's little sister.
"I hope you don't mind if I use you to get your sister."
"Go away Ryo," Mr. Narumi stood in front of the little girl, "Leave Alicia and Mikan alone."
"Alicia," Persona cut in, "Go find your sister. She's in her usual outfit. Hurry."
Alicia nodded, and ran off. Christina had made her way back to the gang.
"Who are they?" She hissed.
"They are the Anti-Alice Organization. We're currently at war with them, but we quit having drills just before you came." Anna whispered back.
"Oh." Christina looked insecure.
"Get them!!!" Ryo commanded. Hundreds of Anti-Alice men jumped from helicopters to the ground, most of them aiming for Persona. Natsume began to usher students away from the battleground. These men were out of their league.
"Gottcha!" Ryo hissed to himself, as he grabbed Alicia's arm.
"Sissy!!!!!" She shrieked, scared and missing her big sister.
Christina wirled around, "Alicia!"
She ran towards the battle, and all her friends watched her go. Mikan dropped her disguise as she ran, calling up fire and water to attack Ryo and the various helicopters.
The results were chaos. Helicopters were burnt, exploded, crushed by unexplainable gravitational forces, drowned, frozen, vanished, and all sorts of unpleasant things befell the cursed occupants. Mikan was heartless in her destruction, desperately trying to rescue her little sister.
"Mikan!!" Alicia screamed again, "Help me!"
"I'm coming," Mikan hollered back, running a little faster.
Ryo looked Mikan dead in the eyes, as……
HE HE! I thought I'd leave you in suspense…well… PLEASE POST SOME REVIEWS BECAUSE I NEED A NEW ENDING TO THIS STORY…MINE BOMBED OUT BY CHAPTER TWO. Luvssssssssssssssss!
