A/n: Hello there guys! I'm really relieved that I got to finish this chapter today! Honestly speaking, I really don't know what's going to happen, I mean, the ideas just come to me, not like I plan them or anything. (sigh) I'm a pretty lame writer. That's why I'm planning to write a new story! Nice and fresh! Well, that is if I ever get the time!! Ja ne! Enjoy this sugoi chapter!


The Idiots Return

IV: When the going gets tough

Subject: Hey!!

Hey Ruka! Did you know that graduation's like two weeks from now? It's really weird though, we finish school earlier that before. Remember when we used to take a break around June? And now we finish it on April, it's just odd how we'll never be able to stay anymore. Anyway, have you asked anyone to the pre-grad ball yet? I'm so available!!

Gomenasai, Sumire-san! I totally lost track of time when I fell asleep under my bed. Yes, I agree it seems kind of odd parting with the Academy on an early April, it seems like it was just yesterday when we all met each other and now, we're going on our separate ways. So, about the ball, I haven't really asked anyone 'coz Mikan told me to 'absolutely, positively never ever get a date yet' I don't really know what's up with her, I mean, she's going with Natsume, right? Why would she not want me to get a date? She actually said it was a surprise…what if she's planning…no!! I have to go now, Sumire, don't reply!

Subject: What the hell?

Hey!! Ruka just stormed in here a while ago shouting about setting him up with Imai. Told me that I should tell you that he was getting a date for the ball and stop meddling with his life, what's that about? You do know that this is all your idea from the start and I've got nothing to do with it, do you?

Subject: Re: What the hell?

Sorry I replied late, I was arranging my furniture. I guess he realized it already. But I really want them to get together!! They are like sooooo for each other!! I don't care whether he asks someone, our plan will still commence. Anyway Natsume, I'm part of the Ball Arrangement committee so I can't spend more time with you this week. By the way, have you gotten the clothes I bought for you for the pre-grad ball? You'll look really charming in those!! Not that you aren't already! Sweets!

What's with the abnormal sweetness? Have you eaten some bad Howalon? Or have you bought those mad chocolates from Imai? Anyways, you better be free on Wednesday, I gotta show you something. And by the way, those clothes look absolutely hideous, but since you wasted your money on it, I have no choice but to wear it.

Subject: Re: Re: Re: What the hell!

I've always been sweet! You're just too grumpy to notice that I was! You should be grateful that I treat you nicely after all those insults you throw at me!! Bleh!!

From: master (imhot.hyugawebs)

To: you're mine! (ichigomikan.special-ablty)

Subject: You should be nice!!

Well, I must admit that you really should be sweet to me because of the lack of romance between us. I mean, the last time we kissed was about 4 years ago, in that x-mas ball, was it? And now we're about to graduate…(Natsume pouts as he types this) you can't even kiss me.


Date: Sun, 23 March, 08, 6:13:27 pm

From: Awww (ichigomikan.special-ablty)

To: you're too kawaii! (imhot.hyuugawebs)

Subject: Re: You should be nice!!

Awww, Natsume, you really like me that much!! Are you saying that I should make up to you for our lack of intimacy? You do know, fairly well I might add, why we don't kiss often. It's because you always irk me and we argue more in person more that anything! You shouldn't blame me, you know, I'm not the one holding back.

I hate you!! I'm never going to talk about my feelings with you ever again!! You know nothing but to crush them, you're EVIL!! Don't you dare reply to this message!!

Subject: Weird occurrence

Have you noticed that ever since Natsume became my boyfriend he became whiny and just plain immature? Was that because of me?

Unt0uchbl3: What do u think of the pre-grad ball?

cAteyes: What about it?

Unt0uchbl3: Well, I was thinking about it for a while now and I realized that Natsume and Mikan were just trying to set me up with Imai.

cAteyes: Hontou? That's really surprising.

Unt0uchbl3: Don't try to humor me!

cAteyes: LOL. They've been going at it for years, really. I quite envy them, they're really lucky, the pair of them.

Unt0uchbl3: Ya! They're really lovely people when they don't try to set you up with a girl who seems to be made of ice!

cAteyes: hehehe! Don't be too hard on Imai.

idiotsRaroundme: Yeah Nogi! Don't be too hard on Imai. You might find yourself at one end of her Baka rocket when she's in the mood.

Unt0uchbl3: Imai! What r u doing here?

idiotsRaroundme: (sighs) I was under the impression that I have already informed the lot of you that I am the head, meaning the director, of all Cybertechnology connections here in Gakuen Alice. Apparently, I stand corrected.

cAteyes: U were? I never knew that!!

Unt0uchbl3: So, Sumire, I was wondering whether you could go with me to the pre-grad ball this Friday. You did say you were available, desho?

cAteyes: Gome, Ruka! I thought you really weren't asking anyone, so, I agreed to go with Kokoroyomi-kun! Sumimasen!! I gotta go!

cAteyes just signed out

idiotsRaroundme: too bad I had to witness your tragic rejection, Nogi. SMAOL.

Unt0uchbl3: Ur despicable. Wanna go with me instead? I know you haven't got a date.

idiotsRaroundme: You insult me. I will only agree to go if you stop Mikan tailing me every after class insisting I shouldn't take any dates yet and of course for a reasonable price.
