When two hearts are meant to be, no matter how long it takes, how far they may go, how tough it seems, time will bring them together to share a life called forever.

Morning...

"I'm going to take a shower first," Mikan told them.

"Ok. I'm going next," Anna said.

"I'm going to use it after Umenomiya," Natsume said nonchalantly.

"Then, I'm last," Koko told them with a grin on his face.

Mikan walked to the bathroom. They only have one in their room. She stripped her clothes and took a cold shower. After that, she wear her swimsuit under a loose dark blue shirt and denim shorts. She walked out from the bathroom when she's done.

"Anna-chan, you can use it now," she said. Anna nodded and went in.

"You're going to wear that?" Natsume asked, disappointed. "Here I thought I can actually see her in a swimsuit."

"Hmph," Mikan looked at the other way. After a few minutes, Anna came out, wearing a tank top and a white miniskirt.

"We will meet Hotaru and the others now. We are going to wait for you guys," Mikan told them.

The two girls walked out from the room.

"I bet you're thinking why didn't Mikan-chan wear a swimsuit," Koko said with a playful smirk.

"Is he a mind reader it something?" Natsume thought and just walked in to the bathroom.

Beach...

Mikan and the others are walking together. The boys and the girls in the beach turned to stare at them, admiring their beauties. Some are envious because they are so hot. Sumire, Misaki, Yuu, Tsubasa, Koko, and Natsume aren't with them yet. Mikan is continuously talking to her friends. Hotaru is just ignoring her but Nonoko and Anna are listening to her. Youichi, Kitsuneme and Ruka are chatting about guys' stuff.

The rest of the gang finally arrived and joined them.

"I want to go swimming," Mikan said enthusiastically.

The girls nodded and began stripping their clothes, revealing their swimsuits. Hotaru is wearing a violet two piece bikini. Misaki has a pink halter two piece bikini. Anna has a pink and yellow stripes swimsuit while Nonoko has the same but it's blue and green stripes. Sumire's swimsuit is dark green. Mikan is wearing a light pink triangle two piece bikini with sakura petals on it.

Once the girls put their clothes away, the others saw their perfect bodies. Almost all the boys in the beach turned to look at them. Natsume and the others are having issues with their nose bleeds.

"I didn't know that Polka is really this hot," Natsume thought.

The girls just giggled at their boyfriends' reactions. They winked at them which made the guys to turned to a ripe tomato. The girls laughed at them and went to the water. The boys just only stare at their girlfriends.

They start swimming and the guys followed them. Natsume dived into the water and swam to Mikan. He popped out behind her and she shrieked in surprise. He put his chin on the crook of her neck and wrapped his arms around her.

"Didn't know that you are actually hot," Natsume whispered huskily to Mikan's ear.

Mikan just rolled her eyes and wiggled her hair. Natsume growled.

Then, they decided to play volleyball. They divided their gang into 2 groups. On the Group A are Mikan, Hotaru, Nonoko, Kitsuneme, Tsubasa, and Koko. On the Group B are Natsume, Ruka, Yuu, Anna, Misaki, and Sumire. Youichi stands as the referee of the game.

The game went on for an hour and their score is 24-24. They decided to rest for a bit and buy ice cream. Hotaru and Ruka got cookies and cream flavor. Misaki and Anna bought vanilla flavor. Tsubasa and Yuu have chocolate. Youichi, Nonoko, and Kitsuneme chose banana flavor. Koko and Sumire have mint flavor. Mikan and Natsume got themselves their favorite, strawberry flavored ice cream.

"Natsume and Mikan have the same taste?" Kitsuneme pointed out.

"Whatever," Natsume muttered.

They started licking their ice cream. Natsume was already finished with his ice cream so he turned to Mikan. She's half way done with hers and happily licking t. Natsume got tempted and licked the other side of the ice cream of Mikan. She twitched when Natsume lick her ice cream.

"You. Are. Licking. MY. Ice. Cream," she emphasized each word.

Natsume ignored her and continued to stare at her red face while licking the ice cream. It dripped on Mikan's fingers so he pulled her hand closer and licked her fingers. Mikan's face became more red because of embarrassment and she's angry. She took her hand away from Natsume and eat the rest of her ice cream.

Natsume narrowed his eyes on her. She just finished her ice cream and turned to glare at him. She then whacked his head.

"You just eat some of my ice cream even if you already had one," Mikan accused.

"What's wrong with that? Is it wrong if i want to eat yours if I really want another one?" Natsume replied back, grabbing her hand.

"Whatever," she took her arm back and ran to the others.

"Tch," Natsume followed her.

They decided to spend the rest of the day playing in the beach. They are playing catching the ball. They have to catch the beach ball if someone passed it to them. Youichi and Natsume just watched them.

Mikan is happily playing. She's thankful that they went to this trip because she really need some break to ease her mind. She's mentally preparing herself to tell her other friends who she really is. Her mom would definitely plan something big when they landed here in Japan. Her parents didn't know that she's using another last name in Gakuen Alice and they will definitely lectured her about that.

The ball went towards her and she tried to reach it. She got to the deeper part of the water and she stumbled because of big rock. She tried to swim back but there's suddenly a painful sensation shot through her. She figure out that it's because of muscle contraction in her thigh.

"Oh, no! Muscle cramps," she thought. She tried her best to swim back and she's already crying because it's really painful. She can't get enough oxygen and she slowly black out, her body sink slowly to the water.

"Hey! Mikan-chan! Where are you?" Misaki shouted. She looked frantically to her besfriend but she can't see the certain brunette. She's already worried because it's been 6 minutes already when she gone into the water to get the ball.

"I'm going to fine her," Koko and Kitsuneme dived in and looked for Mikan in and out of the water. Then, Koko spotted a figure under the water.

"A girl," he thought. Koko grabbed her arm and his eyes widen in horror. It's Mikan.

"Oh-uh! What happened?" Koko pondered. He quickly pulled Mikan and himself out of the water. He started to swim back to the others who are anxiously waiting for them. Koko saw Natsume and Youichi already taking their shirts off and ready to dived in. He swim faster to them.

"I found her!" Koko yelled.

When he's near to them, he carried Mikan in his arms and walked briskly to the gang.

"What happened?" Hotaru asked.

Koko laid Mikan on the sand. "I found her under the water unconscious."

"CPR, Hurry up!" Hotaru ordered.

Youichi stepped in closer to Mikan but Natsume ran to her side before he could step a feet away from her. Natsume bent down and did the CPR to Mikan. Everyone turned to look at them, wondering what's the commotion all about.

Mikan coughed out water and looked at Natsume with half opened eyes.

"Are you alright now?" Natsume asked.

Mikan nodded her head.

"I'm going to carry you to our room," Natsume lifted her and carry her to the hotel. He impatiently waited for the elevator to reach their floor. When the elevator opened, he quickly walked to their room. He had a hard time fetching his key in his pocket because he's carrying Mikan who fell asleep. He sighed in relief when he finally caught his room key. He insert it to the hole and turned the knob. He took back his key and pushed the door open.

He walked in to their room and placed Mikan gently to the bed. He locked at the door in case someone accidentally entered their room. Natsume stare at Mikan's angelic face then his eyes flew on her body. HE FORGOT THAT SHE'S ONLY WEARING HER SWIMSUIT.

"Aaarrghh! How can I forgot!" Natsume mumbled, having troubles because of his nose bleed.

He grabbed some tissues and also a black shirt from his own bag because Mikan will friggin' kill him once she finds out that he rummage her bag. He doesn't want to die young.

He walked to Mikan and put her a shirt on. He sighed in relief when he successfully made it. He really hard a hard time doing that because he's touching her creamy white skin. HE'S FRICKIN' TOUCHING HER. If she wakes up, he's sure he's going to be a dead meat. After all, he already got punched so many times by her and it really hurts like hell.

He sat beside her sleeping figure and shoved lightly her soft honey brown locks. He stared at her beautiful face, remembering every detail of it. He can't believe that she's his, alone. They started as mortal enemies and they didn't even notice that they are getting closer to each other.

He realized that he already tried so many things that he can't imagine himself doing those. Just for her. He saved her from troubles like his fan club and the Kyou Yamamoto incidents. He sang in the hallways with many students watching him just to ask for her forgiveness. He rode the roller coaster, which he swore to himself that he will never ride, just to make her happy. He also showed his different side to her and to the gang, which he never did before for the sake of his pride.

He sighed. "You're just like her, giving me hope in times I really want to give up and just go to the flow of the life. Now that you are finally mine, I'll never let go of you and I will make you happy for the rest of my life," Natsume whispered. He slipped beside her and held her close to him. Mikan turned, facing him but she's still sleeping. She then cuddled closer to him. Natsume smile, not a smirk, but a genuine smile. He smelled her strawberry scent.

~O~O~O~

There are two children who were playing in the park with the snow. It's already December and it's pretty cold. The kids are making a snowman.

"Nat-kun, what are you going to do for Christmas?" an eight year old brunette haired girl asked.

"Nothing. My parents have to go to their business trip but they told me that they are going to be home in New Year," an eight year old raven haired boy said.

"Eh? Do you want to spend the Christmas with me and my family? Mommy will definitely be happy to see you again," the girl happily told him.

"Aunt Yuka? Is your dad gonna be home for Christmas?" the boy asked.

"No. He also told us that he has a business trip so he will just make it up for New Year," the girl replied.

"Oh. Then, I'll come," the boy agreed.

They finished their snowman and they stood in front of it.

"Not bad," the boy murmured.

"Amazing! I'm going to tell about it to Taru-chan and the others," the brunette said.

"Taru-chan? Your bestfriend?" the boy asked.

"Yeah. You should meet them. Saki-chan, Anna-chan, Nonoko-chan, and Sumi-chan are my friends too," the girl enumerate.

"Why don't you invite them for the Christmas?"

"Because they are going somewhere. You don't want to spend the Christmas with me, Nat-kun?" the girl became teary eyed.

The boy gaped at her and knocked her head gently. "Idiot. Who said I don't want to be with you in Christmas?"

"Eh? So you really want to come with me?"

"Hn."

The girl hugged him tightly that made the boy blushed tomato red. He tried to keep his cool so he push her gently.

"You're suffocating me," he lied.

"Hmph. I'm just happy that you are going to be with me."

"I'm also happy. Just being by your side makes me real happy, Mi-chi," he thought.

~O~O~O~

Last day of Class trip...

The gang decided to shop to variety of stores near the beach. They bought souvenirs and some clothes. Mikan got interested to a shop and dragged the gang over there. The shop is selling some accessories and key chains. Mikan spotted a key chain, a cute one. It's a circle shaped one with flames around, a cat is in the middle with hearts around it.

Natsume noticed Mikan staring at the key chain. He got the key chain and walked to the cashier.

"I'll buy this," Natsume placed the money on the table and walked away, not bothering to take his change.

Mikan ran to him and glance at the key chain that she's been staring at a few minutes ago.

"Hey, can I have that?" Mikan asked, showing her puppy dog eyes.

"Must not look," Natsume looked away and said, "I will but what's your going to exchange?"

"Eh?" she thought for a while then looked at him. "You name it."

Natsume smirked and gazed at her. "How about a kiss?"

"WHAT?" Mikan blushed crimson red and stare at Natsume incredulously.

Natsume chuckled at her reaction. They have been kissing so many times but maybe she's really not that used to it. "I'm just kidding. Here," he showed the key chain to Mikan's face.

Mikan smiled brightly and tip toe slightly. She then gave Natsume a chaste kiss and grabbed the key chain out of his hand. Natsume's face is slightly red because he didn't actually expect that Mikan will really going to kiss him.

"Thanks Natsume," Mikan said, still smiling.

"H-Hn."

The day dragged on until the night quickly approach. It's already 7:30 when they got to the hotel. They went to their room to place the stuffs that they bought. They walked in to the dining room where everyone is almost done eating dinner. They sat on vacant seats and started eating.

Departure...

Narumi-sensei ordered them to partner up. The gang chose their boyfriends again to sit beside them. After hours of driving, they arrived at the Academy. The students quickly got off and went home. Hotaru and the other girls decided to sleep at Mikan's house. They told their boyfriends that they can go home so they also went home after they saw Hotaru's car drove away.

"What a nice trip," Ruka said, yawning.

They are taking a nap in Tsubasa's mansion, even Natsume is sleeping in the couch.
