Hi everybody!

Thanks for reviewing and putting this on your story alerts and favorites list!

And I'm also sorry for not updating this story in a while.

Disclaimer: I do NOT own Gakuen Alice, not even for the rest of this story or EVER!

Sorry I didn't mention this in the last chapter, but

"…." Means they're talking

'….' Means they're thinking

--previous chapter--

"Oh! Here's the CD!" Mikan said as she saw the CD sitting on the shelf next to her. She listened to a sample of Hotaru's previous CD and softly sang along with it, which caught the attention of a certain person passing by.

Mikan purchased her CD and was outside the shop when a hand grabbed her arm and turned her around.

"Who are you?" Mikan asked, with shock evident in her eyes.

Chapter Two

Mikan stared at the young man holding her arm. He had blond hair and lavender eyes.

"Oh sorry about grabbing your arm, but would you mind spending some time with me?" he asked as he smiled politely but still held on tightly to her arm.

"Uh, why?" Mikan asked before being dragged away to a small café.

"Hey, let go of my arm already!" Mikan shouted when they were in front of the café.

"Oh, I'm really sorry about that," he said as he let go of her arm, "now, let's go inside, shall we?"

"No way! I'm not going to talk with some strange idiot! I'm leaving!" Mikan said as she turned around.

"Huh, but don't you want your new CD back?" the man asked as he dangled a bag.

Mikan turned around and saw that he had the bag her CD was in!

"Hey, that's the CD I bought using my friend's money! Give it back, I owe her my next month's allowance!" Mikan yelled as she tried grabbing for the CD.

The man raised the CD out of the girl's grasps.

"Tsk, tsk. You shouldn't just grab for it. You should ask for it first, don't you have any manners?" he asked.

"Fine, would you please give it back."

"Sorry, no can do, you have to come inside with me first and listen to my request."

"Request?" Mikan was confused now.

"Yes, I have something to ask of you," he said.

"What kind of request, though?"

"Let's go inside and talk," he suggested while opening the door to the café.

Mikan hesitated, but followed his gesture since she definitely wanted her CD back, and there was no harm in listening to a simple request.

"Would you like to order anything?" asked a waitress after they were seated.

"Um, we'll have two ice cream parfaits," the man said.

"Yes sir," the waitress replied.

"Anyway, back to business," he said.

"What kind of business?" Mikan asked.

"Alright, first, let me introduce myself. My name is Narumi. What's yours?"

"Ah, my name is Mikan Sakura and I'm a first year in high school."

"Well, Mikan-chan, I'm a talent agent and I'm going to be the manager of a new idol group. The idol group is going to consist of four people: two boys and two girls. I've already decided who the two boys are going to be and one of the girls, but I need one more girl and I can't find anyone suited for the job. So, I was thinking maybe, you would like to do it?"

Mikan was silent for a second, then asked, "Why me?"

"That's because I heard you singing in that CD shop and you have an absolutely wonderful voice!"

"I don't know, if I become an idol, I can't walk around on the streets normally and I'll have to move to a different school."

"It's your decision, but just to tell you, you're going to be working with Natsume Hyuuga and Ruka Nogi."

"Who are they?" Mikan asked.

Narumi fell down anime-style.

"Ah, thank you," Narumi said as he got up and their parfaits were delivered.

"I can't believe you, a young teenage girl, don't know who they are!" Narumi said.

"Why, are they famous or something?" Mikan asked.

"Yes! They are famous! They're two of the top male idols!"

"Oh. Anyways, who's the other girl going to be?"

"Hotaru Imai."

"What!! Hotaru Imai? OMG OMG OMG! Why didn't you tell me earlier?! Of course, I'm going to join the idol group now! I'll definitely join it now, nothing can stop me!!" Mikan yelled, attracting stares and glares from people around them.

'Wow, she suddenly changed to super crazy fan girl mode…' thought Narumi.

"O-Ok, then it's decided," Narumi stated. "You are now going to be an official member of an idol group, after you sign the contracts, that is. The name is going to be decided when you four meet."

"So, when do I sign the contract? And when am I going to meet Hotaru-chan!?" Mikan asked excitedly.

'Hotaru-chan?' Narumi sweat-dropped. "I'll give you the contracts right now and I'll set up the meeting for this Saturday. We can meet in front of the north gate of the station," Narumi explained as he handed her a stack of papers and a pen.

"Why do you even have this contract with you right now?" Mikan asked as Narumi pointed out where to sign and she signed.

"I was actually looking for the fourth person for the group at the CD shop. I was hoping I could consider some of the people whose CD's were in there, but instead I found you!"

"Oh, ok," Mikan said as she signed the last signature. "Well, I'm going to get going now, I'll see you the day after tomorrow, right?"

"Since today is Thursday, I guess so! Bye and thanks again," Narumi said as he put down the check on the table before he got up.

"Bye!" Mikan waved and left for home.

The next day went by quickly for Mikan and soon it was Saturday morning.

'I woke up early today. I guess it's because I can't wait to meet Hotaru-chan!' Mikan thought.

Mikan got out of bed and washed up, and then she brushed her soft, slightly layered brown hair.

Mikan looked at her hair and thought about when she was little. Her hair was about the same length it was when she was a kid, but a little shorter. She had cut it a bit when she started middle school and she cut it again last year.

Mikan put her hair into a ponytail and then got dressed. She went downstairs and out the door before anyone else woke up.

"Ok, so I'm supposed to meet him at the station," Mikan told herself. "Which gate was it again?" Mikan stopped.

"I can't remember which gate I was supposed to meet him in front of!" Mikan gasped.

Ok, I'm done with this chapter. Sorry if you guys waited long for this.

Don't forget to review when you finish reading this or it will break my fragile, poor, little heart.

Ok, I'm kidding, I have a strong heart…. Ok, forget about the whole heart thing!

Anyways, just remember to review.
