So it's been two years since I last updated this story. I am sorry for making you wait so long. As always the excuse of every author 'There were a lot of things going on in my life'. One of the things I really dislike though is leaving things unfinished, so I am continuing this story, don't worry! Right now it's my summer vacation so I want to finish this story before the summer is over ^_^
Dream
I felt something so soft and fragrant underneath my body. I slowly opened my eyes and found myself on a giant gold flower. Wait, I was sleeping on a flower? That would explain the softness and sweet smell. I looked around and saw myself in a huge garden. There were other giant colorful flowers and giant butterflies flying over my head like beautiful stained glass airplanes with the sun's rays reflecting through the magnificent design of their wings. I looked down and saw myself dressed with a thin but beautiful material. The color was pastel pink mixed with some purple hues. I stood up and discovered I was wearing a flowing dress that made ethereal movements every time I move. I decided to jump from flower to flower feeling the soft and slightly slippery texture under my bare feet. It was a lot of fun and I giggled like I was ten years old again. I saw a monarch butterfly perched on a pink flower and decided to jump on that flower and try to ride the pretty butterfly. I hopped on and the butterfly started to flutter into the air. I felt the cool wind in my hair and the warm sun enveloping me. I closed my eyes for awhile to enjoy the ride and after awhile the butterfly landed. I opened my eyes and jumped off and waved at the departing butterfly. I saw I was on a reddish chrysanthemum flower and turned around only to meet those crimson eyes of his. He reached out his hand towards me, I hesitated but decided to hold it and I saw him smiling so warmly at me. He held my hand and pulled me closer until I…
Riiiiinnngggg…
"Huh? Wha?" I shot my eyes open and saw my alarm clock right in front of my eyes. I rubbed my eyes and sat up looking around only to find myself in my messy apartment.
"So it was a dream" I thought as I turned off my alarm clock and went inside my bathroom. I was doing my business while trying to wake myself up when I just realized what I had been dreaming about.
"What? Of all the things!" I said angrily to myself as I finished my business. I grabbed my toothbrush and squeezed out some toothpaste in anger only resulting into a huge amount of paste covering my toothbrush "Ugh, what a bad morning" I mumbled and shoved the toothbrush into my mouth.
"Why did I have to dream about that stupid jerk? After what he did to me!" I thought while brushing my teeth aggressively. I should stop now if I don't want my mouth to bleed.
After I was done I got dressed for work and went outside.
"That bastard! Even in my dreams he is taunting me!" the nerve for him to even show his face in my dream.
"Mikan?"
Hasn't he tortured me enough already? He's got his stupid fiancé for crying out loud and let me tell you they suit each other well.
"Mikan-chan?"
They're both very rude and arrogant; it's such a perfect terror couple!
"Mikan!"
"Huh?" I turned around to see Serina who had her hand in midair "Serina-san, ohayou!"
"Ah ohayou Mikan-chan, but um where are you going?" she asked with a smile.
"To work of course" answered Mikan.
"Um, don't you usually rest on Sundays, Mikan-chan?" asked Serina, it finally dawned on Mikan that it was a weekend for her. She forgot it was her rest day.
"Looks like someone really loves her work" giggled Serina.
"Ah, it's not like that. I do love my work but I just…forgot" said Mikan embarrassingly while looking at the floor.
"It's okay, we all have one of those days" said Serina and Mikan just responded with a shy smile.
"Well, I guess I better go eat some breakfast since I'm already dressed" said Mikan as she was about to walk away.
"Ah! Wait Mikan-chan!" said Serina stopping Mikan in her tracks.
"Yes?"
"How's your friend? The one who took care of you when you were sick?" asked Serina, it took Mikan awhile to process what she meant "You know, that handsome young man with the red eyes"
"Oh! That's right" said Mikan as she suddenly remembered that event that made her so frustrated that she holed herself inside her bedroom for almost a whole day.
"Well, um…I don't really see him much" lied Mikan while trying to look somewhere else so she wouldn't get caught by Serina's lie detecting senses.
"Hmm…I see. He seems like a really nice guy. Although he was bit clueless and too naïve, I mean he was so embarrassed when I was changing your clothes that I-"
"Wait, did you just said you changed my clothes…in front of him?" yelled Mikan as she was feeling the heat coming to her cheeks.
"Well you were sick and I-"
"You should have kicked him out, or shot him, or hit him over the head or something!" said Mikan in disbelief, did Natsume just see her naked body while she was unconscious? That can't be right!
"Mikan, I don't have a license to kill people. So I can't assassinate him for you" said Serina with a chuckle.
"But you have abilities beyond a professional assassin!" said Mikan while pointing at her.
"Aw shucks, you flatter me" smiled Serina "It's not that big a deal though, I was there anyway"
"You don't understand how perverted he can be" muttered Mikan while remembering all those times Natsume acted like a pervert in high school. Those were not very nice memories and traumatized Mikan to believe she would never get married…ever. Mikan shuddered at that thought and was thankful she got over the trauma.
"I'm uh, going to get some fresh air" said Mikan as she waved at Serina and Serina waved back. How embarrassing, first her dream and then Serina just had to talk about Natsume. Mikan groaned and decided to go to a café for breakfast. Hopefully she would feel better and not think about that perverted jerk.
Mikan was at an intersection and was waiting to cross the street to get to the café. As soon as the pedestrian light turned green, Mikan crossed the street and was about to go on her way when she accidentally bumped into someone.
"Ah, gomenasai!" apologized Mikan.
"Watch where you're going!" screamed a squeaky voice, it sounded familiar to Mikan. She looked up and saw Rumiko, Natsume's annoying and busty fiancé. Mikan immediately frowned, why did she keep bumping into her?
"Oh, you're that girl from the other day" said Rumiko and she began to smirk "Listen, I am insulted to think of you as competition!"
"Huh?" Mikan raised an eyebrow.
"You're just a clumsy and simple girl with no sex appeal at all!" insulted Rumiko, Mikan gritted her teeth. Why does she have to deal with this next? This is certainly not a good day for her.
"Look woman, I don't want to deal with you and you're fat ass that shoves people around here and there" said Mikan with anger evident in her tone. Rumiko gasped and covered her butt consciously. Mikan smirked, looks like she got back at her.
"Look you insolent girl, stay out of my way or I'll never leave you alone!" said Rumiko as she glared at her and walked past her. She paused and turned around to face Mikan "Oh and stay away from my fiancé too, he's not interested little girls" she said and stormed off. Mikan's face became red with anger and she stuck out her tongue childishly at Rumiko.
"You tell that to your fiancé you pris!" said Mikan angrily and stormed off in the other direction towards the café. Mikan growled as she stepped inside the café.
"I swear, if another thing goes wrong today…"
"Ah Sakura-san…"
"What?" said Mikan in a demanding tone, she looked up and saw it was Karashima. Mikan covered her mouth in embarrassment.
"I-I'm so sorry! I didn't know…" apologized Mikan, Karashima chuckled.
"It's alright, you must be not having a good day" said Karashima.
"The worst" replied Mikan glumly, Karashima pulled out a chair and gestured her to sit.
"Why don't we have breakfast together? I'm taking it you came here to eat right?" asked Karashima, Mikan nodded and gladly took the seat.
"So what will it be?" asked the waitress.
"I'll have the ham and cheese pancake" said Mikan.
"Same here" said Karashima.
"And drinks?" asked the waitress again.
"Coffee" they both said in unison.
"Coming right up" smiled the waitress and left. Mikan and Karashima chuckled.
"Let me apologize again about earlier, I didn't wake up so good and there were things happening here and there…"
"It's alright, we all have those days" said Karashima, Mikan smiled.
"Yeah, I guess you thought you were going to work as well today right?" said Mikan propping up her elbow.
"Oh mine was worse. Try going to work wearing a white coat…" said Karashima, Mikan had a confused face.
"You're an animal doctor! You're supposed to wear a white coat" said Mikan.
"With nothing but my underwear underneath" continued Karashima.
"Seriously?" said Mikan laughing.
"Yes, it's true. You can ask Ruka" said Karashima while smiling.
"Eh, so you can be clumsy too" said Mikan.
"Oh, you should see me when I'm nervous. I sweat like a pig!" said Karashima cracking some jokes and making Mikan laugh. She forgot all about the events that happened this morning and just had a good time with Karashima.
After the breakfast, Mikan and Karashima decided to have a walk around the park when Karashima suddenly got an emergency phone call from the clinic.
"I'm sorry but I gotta run there's an emergency patient!" said Karashima.
"It's alright, you have to hurry. Go on" said Mikan, Karashima nodded and left. Mikan was now left all alone "What should I do now?"
Dream
Meanwhile Natsume was drinking coffee while strolling around the park waiting for Ruka.
Riiinnngg…
"Hello?" answered Natsume.
"I'm sorry Natsume, I'm going to have to cancel. There is an emergency at the clinic" said Ruka.
"It's alright, go save some poor animals or whatever" said Natsume while grinning, Ruka chuckled on the other line and hung up "Great, what am I going to do today? I'm bored out of my mind already"
Natsume sat on a bench and leaned back. He started to close his eyes and Mikan suddenly came into his mind. He couldn't help but smile. He suddenly heard a loud sigh and opened his eyes to see the source of the sound. He turned around and saw Mikan, sitting at another bench beside his. He couldn't believe it, one moment he was thinking of her and the next she appears!
"I'm really bored" said Mikan herself while leaning back, fortunately Natsume heard this and had an idea. He stealthily went behind Mikan's bench and slowly blew in her ear. Mikan's eyes shot open and she jumped on her seat. She briskly turned her head around and saw the person in her dream.
"Kyaa!" screamed Mikan as she tried to get away but failed when Natsume quickly grabbed her arm.
"Whoa, hold on there. Relax, I'm not gonna flash you or something" said Natsume then he smirked "Unless you wanna flash me sweet cakes" Mikan instantly pinched his arm.
"Ow! I was only kidding" said Natsume while rubbing the sore spot.
"I see your perverted side has never left you" said Mikan as she frowned.
"Why? Turns you on?" said Natsume while leaning his hand on the bench and giving her a sexy wink. Mikan suddenly remembered her dream and turned around so that Natsume wouldn't see her blushing face.
"You perv, don't think I don't know about what happened in my apartment back when I was sick!" said Mikan, Natsume suddenly tensed up.
"Crap, did that Serina tell her? I'm going to find ways to burn her" thought Natsume, he coughed and straightened up.
"Hey," Mikan turned around and almost bumped into Natsume, she instantly backed away because of the close proximity.
"Let's go on a date" said Natsume as he leaned down to her eye level.
"W-What?"
"I'm bored, so let's go on a date!" said Natsume, Mikan widened her eyes.
