New Students
Ello, everybody! It's me casey-16! This is the second chapter of New Students and I'm really excited to write it and for you to read it. So umm, remember in chapter 1 I said I'd be giving away my other stories, yeah, I changed my mind and deleted them instead. I want to start fresh so I deleted the stories I gave away or never finished. Oh and sorry if Natsume isn't really in character. So bai-bai!

Summary: New students…ever since the Nullifier arrived all they've done was cause drama. It was Miss Null, then Luna, and now there were four new students arriving in our class. A glasses geek, some girl with a video camera, one of those innocent looking girls and some guy whose expression was a lot like mine. Too bad they have to sit next to Polka-dot.

Chapter 2: &GSongsG&
Mikan POV
"Hi, Mikan-nyan. It's nice to see you again." Eriol said to me, once he was beside me. Then I just realized something, he called me Mikan-nyan, a nickname he came up for me when we first met JUST because I had a little kitten with me and I was nursing it. He must be making fun of me.
"It's nice to see you again too, Eriol-kun." I said blankly, not even looking at him and pushing the whole Mikan-nyan thing aside. He frowned for awhile.
"You don't sound happy. Are you sure you're all right?" he asked me.
"I'm fine." I told him, partly because he annoys me greatly and because the whole class was watching us.
"But the Mikan I knew would be smiling if she saw her best friend for the first time in 2 years (You'll understand why he said 2 later.) When I didn't respond he shrugged and kissed me on the cheek before going to his seat. I snapped my pencil in two and felt like stabbing him for doing that. Then I remembered everyone was watching with their mouths hanging. Again. I hate Eriol Hiiragizawa.
25 minutes have passed and while Narumi-sensei was writing on the board everyone was either staring at me or talking about how Eriol kissed me. Stuff like 'I can't believe he kissed her', 'Do they know each other?', and 'He even has a pet name for her, Mikan-nyan' were whispered around the class. Now there were only 3 minutes left of class. But the clock was so slow, like it was mocking me.
"Okay class! "Narumi-sensei's voice startled me. "I've just received news from the principals that since tomorrow is a holiday we'll be having our S.A. classes today. Umm, for the new students S.A. is separate ability classes are classes that happen only once a week when we go to the type of classes that have our type of Alices. You four go to the Special Ability type classes for Alices that are rare and don't fit in the other types. Mikan will guide you there since she's also in the S.A. type. Dismissed." Just what I needed. To be stuck at a welcoming party for Eriol. Wait! The party! We haven't got it set up yet!
"Mikan!" I heard someone call. I turned around and saw Misaki-senpai or her clone.
"Misaki-senpai! Just the person I needed to see! Can you show them to the S.A. type room? I…um, I need to go somewhere…to do something." I told her, pointing to the direction opposite of the S.A. Type Class meaning stall them.
"Oh, sure. Umm, follow me." She took Sakura by her hand that was dutifully followed by Tomoyo and silently followed by Li. Eriol gave me a quick wave and smile before following them. I ran off the other direction to the class and when I entered everyone was working around, dozens of Misaki-senpai's clones around and working, Tsubasa-senpai was manipulating the shadow of the objects to put them in place, Megane-senpai was jumping into objects and putting them in place and everyone else was using their random Alices to do work around. I walked over to Tsubasa-senpai and asked how everything was set to quickly.
"Noda-cchi came back from the past and told us before we knew about it then Misaki sent a bunch of her clones to work then when we were released from class most of the things were set." he explained. I sighed with relief.
"Thank you Misaki-senpai and Noda-cchi." I said.
"I know," he sighed, "I'm so glad she's my girlfriend." Tsubasa-senpai told me. That's right; they've been dating for at least 3 years around the time where I lost all my friends. I noticed the stage.
"What's the stage for?"I asked him.
"Oh, remember when we practically fell in love with music and you, me, Misaki and Megane formed this mini band and me and you wrote a bunch of songs then we stopped when we all constantly went on missions for Persona." I nodded. "Well, Misaki said she was bored so we decided that we'd sing a few songs for the class."
"But…fine." I said as I saw how many people worked on the stage.
"That's the spirit, Mikan!"He said happily, "Oh, and do you remember the songs?" I sighed and took out a folder that I hid a few months ago. It was a folder full of the songs Tsubasa-senpai and I wrote. As I looked through them I let my hair fall down and I greatly resembled my mother, then I tied my hair up into a ponytail, revealing a black star on my neck, just like the one on Tsubasa-senpai's face.
My Mark of Punishment was given to me by Rui Amane so that if I ever disobeyed Persona or the Principal Kuonji's orders I'd be hurt by his Alice. He'd also threaten me by hurting Tsubasa-senpai, Misaki-senpai and Megane-senpai, sometimes he'd even say he'd put his mark on any of my old friends. Ever since the ESP learned about my Stealing and Insertion Alices he made me do missions for him, it was the same for Tsubasa-senpai ever since he learned to create their shadows and control them, for Misaki senpai ever since she could make clones of anyone else and Megane-senpai since he could use his Alice to possess bodies with a soul or not. Of course we asked them to keep us a secret from most of the Dangerous Ability Class; the only people who knew were Youichi, Nobara; though she was completely against me doing this, Rui Amane, Hayate Matsudaira and all of the Special Ability Class, well, except for the four new students.
:::::::::::::
Natsume POV
"Koko," I called him. He walked over to me.
"What do you need Natsume?"He asked me. I pointed to Polka (Mikan).
"Read her mind." he nodded.
"I can't believe we have to do this for Eriol. When I see him I want to stab him. The last thing I want to do is be stuck there because of him and Li. Ouch, my arm still hurts from last night's-" That's where I cut him off.
"What is she talking about?" I asked him. He shrugged and walked away. I wish I could know what was going on in there. (Natsume isn't really in character, sorry.) I walked over to Imai who was reading a book. She looked up.
"What?" she immediately asked me as she looked up. She looked back down to read her book and turned a page.
"Do you have a camera like device that can move on its own?" I asked her. She nodded and reached into her bag. She took out a mechanical butterfly with two lenses for eyes and antennae that looked like mini microphones.
"What is this?" I asked her. She gave me a booklet and opened to a folded page. I unfolded the colorful page and read the first item. Invention #100: Butterfly Camera- a device that roams a room and records anything it sees in picture and voice.
"Are you satisfied?" she asked, knowing I was done reading.
"Whatever." I said and walked off, the butterfly in hand. I saw Polka run off the opposite of the new kids. "Follow her." I told the butterfly and fluttered after Polka. Someone tapped my shoulder and Luna was there.
"Natsume-kun, Imai-san asked us to come to her lab." She smiled sweetly. I nodded and walked ahead of her. Besides, I'm sure Persona wouldn't mind if I skipped and as for Luna, I don't even know what her Alice is and Imai probably sent a robot to replace her or something like that.
Hotaru POV
"Why did you call me here, Hotaru?" my boyfriend, Ruka Nogi, asked me. I ignored him for a while as I put on the footage that the Butterfly Camera was taking.
"Natsume asked me if he I had a camera-like device and I gave him the Butterfly Camera. Then he sent it to the S.A. Type Class. Apparently, the have something planned for the new students." I said, finally answering him.
"WHAT?" Sumire shouted, obviously annoyed that Natsume would waste him time on a useless class like the S.A Type Class. "Why would my Natsume waste time on such a stupid class?" she asked angrily.
"Calm down, Kaichou (President)," Wakako said, as she tried to calm her down. Wakako wasn't actually crazy about Natsume and Ruka anymore but she always likes new guys and in her case it was Hiiragizawa and Li. So she was pretty mad when Hiiragizawa kissed Sakura (Mikan).
"What do you mean 'your Natsume'?" a voice came from the darkness of the lab. Natsume arouse from it with Luna next to him.
"S-sorry Natsume." She apologized, blushing.
"So Imai, what did you call us for?" Natsume asked me.
"I've got the butterfly cam's footage." I said pointing to the screen. "Come watch." They gathered around the screen and I got a picture.
:::::::::::::
Mikan POV
"Okay, so this song first then this, this, this and this…hmmm, maybe this should go next, then this, this one next, then this one, then this one, and then this one should go last. So you're on vocals, I'm on drums, he's on guitar, she's on keyboard for these songs," Tsubasa-senpai pointed to eight songs. "Those songs also have Misaki as a background singer. On these five we'll change places and Megane will be a background singer. Oh, right. Take off your blazer, tuck out your white shirt, and if you want untie your ribbon." He told me and I nodded. But I won't do that until I have to get on stage. He closed the folder and put it down on a chair. "So, I heard the new kid kissed you." He said. I blushed.
"Just on the cheek." I said.
"I'll make him cry for doing that to my sister." He said, with fire in his eyes.
"You know I'm not really your sister." I told him, embarrassed. He sighed and patted my head.
"But you're the closest thing to a sister I've ever had, remember, here in the S.A. Type Class we're all family. Everyone here is your brother and sister." he reminded me. I smiled.
"But dating Misaki-senpai is like dating your sister so you have a sister-complex." I laughed when he blushed.
"I hate it when you use my words against me." He sighed. I laughed again. The decorations were done, the tables; set, the stage; finished with instruments and a microphone there and everything was in place. Now the things that we need here are the four new students and Misaki-senpai.
Some time has passed now and Misaki-senpai still wasn't here with the new students. I walked over to the keyboard and played a few keys of my favorite song which was last to be played and I sang some lyrics. We heard a knock on the door and once it opened streamers flew everywhere and a banner was hanging from the wall saying 'Welcome New-comer-sans!' on it. Eriol had a clam and charming expression as always, Sakura was smiling and so was Tomoyo. Li had a small smile on his face as he saw all the people here.
"Wow," Sakura said in awe as Tomoyo continued videotaped her, "this is so amazing." She said as she saw all the decorations and the golden sparkles raining down on her, thanks to a certain Alice.
"Thanks." Multiple Misaki-senpais said. Sakura looked at all of them and screamed, then hid behind Li.
"Don't worry, they're just my clones." The real Misaki-senpai told her. "I'm Misaki Harada, I have the Doppelganger Alice." She said and the clones returned to her, leaving only the real her.
"Oh, so that's it." Sakura said, coming out from behind Li.
"And I'm Tsubasa Ando; I have the Shadow Manipulation Alice." He said kindly, he looked at Eriol and said, "Try to move." He told him and he couldn't move at all. Eriol then saw that Tsubasa-senpai was stepping on his shadow.
"That's a very nice Alice you have." He said and Tsubasa stepped off his shadow.
"Thanks, at least some people see that." he said, looking at me, Misaki-senpai and Megane-senpai. Hey, I think his Alice is plentiful cool.
"Hey, I compliment your Alice from time to time." I told him.
"Yeah, I compliment it too." Megane-senpai said, offended.
"And I just complimented your Alice last night." Misaki-senpai said, she froze, realizing what she just said.
"What were you doing with him last night?" a few girls from our class asked her. I laughed. To be honest we were on a mission and had to meet up at Tsubasa-senpai's room. But of course, no one knows that.
"Nothing, I swear!" she said, defending herself.
"Yeah, Megane and Mikan we're there too." Tsubasa-senpai said, embarrassed.
"So what, did you guys play Spin the Bottle or Seven Minutes in Heaven or something?" they asked him.
"What, no! Absolutely not!" we all shouted at the same time, all blushing.
That was crazy, all we were doing was leaving for a mission then meeting up back there. I looked at the four newcomers and they were very amused, laughing and Tomoyo was videotaping me. "Don't videotape this!" I told her, becoming even redder, if that was possible.
"But you look so cute when you blush, unlike in class where you barely talk. Ah, I think I've found someone almost as cute as Sakura-chan." She shouted, zooming in on my face.
I blushed again at her compliment. "Ah, Mikan-nyan is redder than a tomato." Eriol said.
"Don't call me Mikan-nyan, it's embarrassing." I hissed, still red and he tried to hold in his laughter…but of course he couldn't and started laughing, not rolling on the floor, though he started to cry and hold his stomach. Tomoyo was still videotaping this. "Don't videotape this!" I told her.
"So kawaii!" she said and continued, completely ignoring my words. She turned her camera to the table. "Ah. A bunch of sweets!" she said. Something moved inside Sakura's bag and a yellow plush toy popped out.
"Sweets," It shouted and tugged on Sakura's bag. "C'mon, Sakura. Let's go to the sweets." It told her and looked around, seeing all the people staring at it.
"Great, now you're cover's blown, you plush toy." Li told it. It faced him.
"Shut up kid! At least if I aimed at a girl I would've hit her not miss like some idiot who couldn't shoot a girl when he shoots other things miles away." It shouted at him.
"Kero-chan, stop being so mean to him!" she shouted. Then she glared at Li. "You too!" the umm…thing glared at Li and he glared back until the turned around with a "Humph."
"W-what's that, Sakura-chan." I asked her, pointing to the yellow talking plush toy. She stared at me and stuffed it back into her bag.
"W-what thing?" she asked, trying to cover it up.
"That yellow talking plush toy that was battling out with Syaoran." Misaki-senpai said, poking her backpack and LI, much to his annoyance
"Could you stop that, and why are you calling me Syaoran?" he asked, trying to slap her hand away.
"Everyone in Gakuen Alice calls each other by their first name. Besides, you'll get used to it since you'll be staying here for the next six years."
"Six years? Why?" Tomoyo asked her.
"Don't you guys know that when you enter Gakuen Alice you can't leave until your 20, well you can send messages to them and send back but some students aren't allowed to and then there's the students who get the highest scores and then are allowed to visit their family for a week."
"Oh, that's so sad." Sakura said.
"Hey, don't change the subject. What was that yellow talking plush toy?" I asked her.
"That was umm…uhhh…it was my…my…my…"she looked for words for an excuse as her friends stared at her.
"Just tell us, we'll believe you." Tsubasa-senpai told her. She sighed and took it out.
"This is Kerberos, guardian of the Clow and sun, he and the guardian of the moon, Yue, come with my powers or Alice." She let him go and he started flying around. "Kero-chan only looks like this because he's in his disguise. His real form is much, much bigger." she looked at all of us who had very shocked expressions on her faces.
"Do we believe her?" I whispered to Megane-senpai.
"I think we believe. Do we believe her?" he whispered to Misaki-senpai.
"I'm not sure I believe her, what about you Tsubasa?" she asked him.
"Ah…yeah, we believe." We all agreed. "We believe you!" he said and Sakura smiled, relieved.
"Now, let's eat!" Kero said, rushing to the table. He started tugging on a glass cover, trying to take it off of the platter which held the cake.
"C'mon, Kero's right. Let's eat!" Misaki-senpai agreed and picked up the glass for him. "Welcome to the Special Ability Class, you five." She said as Kero stuffed his face with cake.
"It's Kerberos." He said, face stuffed with food.
Everyone had eaten their cake and said their speeches about being free, having fun and not worrying about what others say to us so now the only event left was the whole singing thing. The lights were dimmed and there was a spotlight on the stage. The drums and keyboard were set at the very back, parallel to each other, while the microphone was at the front and the guitar would be at the side. Tsubasa-senpai got up on stage and went up to the microphone, blazer gone, white shirt tucked out, sleeves rolled up to his elbow, few buttons undone with a lose tie.
"Okay, for the last part of this fabulous welcoming party me and my friends are gonna sing a few songs. Come on up here you guys." He said and we got up on stage, Megane-senpai had the same look as Tsubasa-senpai, Misaki-senpai and I had the same too. Blazer off, tucked out white shirt, and sleeves rolled up to our elbow. When we all went up on stage we went to our respective places. "So the first song we'll be doing has a little dance to it so all of you, get up and help us out!" he shouted into the microphone before going to his drum set.
"Okay, this is something you all can do, do this with me." I said. I told them to start playing on their cue.
(Mikan, Misaki, All)
Boom clap, boom de clap de clap
Boom, boom clap, boom de clap de clap
Boom, boom clap, boom de clap de clap
Boom, boom clap, boom de clap de clap
The others started playing and the audience started clapping when I did.
Try it with me, here we go
Boom ,boom clap, boom de clap de clap (Whoa oh, oh)
(That's right) boom de clap de clap (Who oh ,oh)
Boom, boom clap, boom de clap de clap

I'll give you the BBQ
Show and tell you how to move
If your 5 or 82
This is something you can do
Pop it, lock it, polka dot it
Countrify then hip hop it
Put your hawk in the sky, move side to side
Jump to the left, stick it, glide
The audience started mimicking my moves as I sang.
Zig zag cross the floor
Shuffle in diagonal
When the drum hits hands on your hips
One-footed 180 twist
And then a zig-zag, step, slide
Lean in left, clap three times
Shake it out, head to toe
Throw it all together, that's how we roll
Do the hoedown (throwdown!)
Do the hoedown (throwdown!)
Do the hoedown (throwdown!)
Throw it all together, that's how we roll
We get to four, five, six
And if your feelin' busted
But it's not time to quit
Practice makes you perfect (Whoa oh, oh)
I saw Eriol looking at me, smiling and I smiled back.
Pop it, lock it, polka dot it
Countrify then hip hop it
Put your hawk in the sky, move side to side
Jump to the left, stick it, glide
Do the hoedown (Throwdown!)
Do the hoedown (Throwdown!)
Do the hoedown (Throwdown!)
Throw it all together, that's how we roll
Zig-zag cross the floor

When the drum hits hands on your hips
One-footed 180 twist
And then zig-zag, step, slide
Lean in left, clap three times
Shake it out, head to toe
Throw it all together, that's how we roll
Boom de clap de clap, boom, boom clap

One-footed 180 twist
And then a zig-zag, step, slide
Lean in left, clap three times

Boom dap clap, b-boom de clap, clap, clap
Boom dap clap, b-boom de clap, clap
Boom de clap, boom de clap de clap
Throw it all together, that's how we roll!
When the song ended the audience clapped and I smiled, laughing.
"Okay, now that song number one is over you can all get back to your seats and listen to this song." I took the microphone off the stand and the others started to play.
(Mikan, Tsubasa, Misaki, Misaki and Mikan)
I took the microphone stand and started to move it (Like Selena's mop in the music video)
Everybody tells me that it's so hard to make it, it's so hard to break it,
there's no way to fake it.
Everybody tells me that it's wrong what I'm feelin',
I shouldn't believe in,
The dreams that I'm dreamin'.
I hear it every day,
I hear it all the time,
I'm never gonna amount to much,
But they are never gonna change my mind, oh.
The crowd was smiling and shouting our names.
Tell me, Tell me, Tell me,
Something I don't know,
Something I don't know,
Something I don't know.
Tell me, Tell Me, Tell me,
Something I don't know,
Something I don't know,
Something I don't know.
Eriol was smiling, Tomoyo was recording this, Sakura was pumping her fist in the air and Li was taping his foot to the music, but not really looking this way.
How many inches in a mile?
What it takes to make you smile?
Get cha' not gonna treat me like a child baby.
Tell me, Tell me, Tell me,
Something I don't know,
Something I don't know,
Something I don't know.
Tell me; tell me something I don't know.
Tell me; tell me something I don't know.
Everybody tells me that I don't know what I'm doin',
This life I'm persuin',
The odds I'll be losin'.
Everybody tells me that it's one in a million,
like one in a billion,
one in a zillion.
I hear it every day,
I hear it all the time,
I'm never gonna amount to much,
But they are never gonna change my mind, oh.
"Go Mikan-chan!" Sakura yelled, jumping into the air with her fist pumped up.
Tell me, Tell me, Tell me,
Something I don't know,
Something I don't know,
Something I don't know.
Tell me, Tell me, Tell me,
Something I don't know,

Something I don't know,
Something I don't know.
How many inches in a mile?
What it takes to make you smile?
Get cha' not gonna treat me like,
A child baby.
So here's the track,
like Katrina make you work like a machine
and make 'em say 'I'm ready!'
Are you ready for it?
Tsubasa-senpai looked at me and I walked over between him and Misaki-senpai.
Yeah, I'm ready for it.
Really ready for it?
Yeah, I'm ready for it.
Let's get ready for this.
I'm on my way,
I know I'm, gonna get there someday.
It doesn't help, when you say,
It won't be easy.
Tell me, Tell me, Tell me,
Something I don't know, (Tell me)

Betcha not gonna treat me like a child baby.
Tell me, Tell me, Tell me,
Something I don't know,
Something I don't know,
Something I don't know.
The song ended and the crowd was screaming like crazy. "That was awesome!" Sakura shouted.
"Go Mikan!" Kero said, flying up with cake on his face.
"Okay, this next song is something I can't sing," I heard whines this the audience and I laughed, "But we all know someone who can so let's call out his name and get him ready!" I shouted and started chanting. "Tsubasa! Tsubasa! Tsubasa!" the crowd started chanting with me and he got up to the mic.
"So far I've been playing drums but know, it's time for me to shine! But I don't think I'll be so confident after those two wonderful songs Mikan sang, but I'll do my best.
(Tsubasa, Megane, Both. There's supposed to be two voices in this song but Tsubasa with cover most of it.)
(It starts with)
One thing, I don't know why
It doesn't even matter how hard you try
Tsubasa-senpai looked at Megane-senpai to make sure he would do his part.
Keep that in mind, I designed this rhyme.
To explain in due time
He sighed, relieved
All I know
time is a valuable thing
Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings
Watch it count down to the end of the day
The clock ticks life away
It's so unreal
Didn't look out below
Watch the time go right out the window
Trying to hold on but didn't even know
Wasted it all just to
Watch you go
I kept everything inside and even though I tried, it all fell apart
What it meant to me will eventually be a memory of a time when
I looked at the newcomers who were smiling and cheering him on. "Go Tsubasa-senpai!" Tomoyo screamed, videoing him.
I tried so hard
And got so far
But in the end
It doesn't even matter
I had to fall
To lose it all
But in the end
It doesn't even matter
One thing, I don't know why
It doesn't even matter how hard you try
Keep that in mind, I designed this rhyme
To remind myself how
I tried so hard
In spite of the way you were mocking me
Acting like I was part of your property
Remembering all the times you fought with me
I'm surprised it got so (far)
Things aren't the way they were before
You wouldn't even recognize me anymore
Not that you knew me back then
But it all comes back to me
In the end
You kept everything inside and even though I tried, it all fell apart
What it meant to me will eventually be a memory of a time when
I tried so hard
And got so far
But in the end
It doesn't even matter
I had to fall
To lose it all
But in the end
It doesn't even matter
I've put my trust in you
Pushed as far as I can go
For all this
There's only one thing you should know
I've put my trust in you
Pushed as far as I can go
For all this
There's only one thing you should know
I tried so hard
And got so far
But in the end
It doesn't even matter
I had to fall
To lose it all
But in the end
It doesn't even matter
When he sang the end the crowd clapped and shouted his name, especially the girls, who got a murderous glare from his keyboard playing girlfriend. Tsubasa-senpai chuckled and smiled at his girlfriend who was still glaring at a few girls. He put the microphone back on its stand and motioned to me. "Alright, I'm a little tired to sing, so Mikan is gonna take over again for a while. Is that okay with all of you?" he shouted. The crowd roared in approval. "Of course you are!" he said and went back to his drums, hugging his drum sticks.
"Okay, so Tsubasa-senpai is taking a little break from singing and I'll be taking over again." I said into the microphone. I looked at Misaki-senpai and she nodded.
(Mikan, Misaki)
(Round & Round)
Round & Round
Round & Round
Round & Round
You see me standing there
And act like you don't know me
But last night you were calling me
Saying you want me
Oh why you always make me feel
Like I'm the one that's crazy
You feel my heart racing
My, my heart racing
[Chorus]
Boy, I need you here with me
We can't go on this way
I'm falling hard for you
All I can say
We're going round & round
We'll never gonna stop going round & round
We'll never get where we're going
Round & round
Well you're gonna miss me
Cause I'm getting dizzy going
Round & round & round
You come to pull me close
And whisper in my ear
You always told me eyes
I cried out all my tears
I brush my feelings to the side
But can you bring them back
Bri- bring them back
Now you got me singing
[Chorus]
Boy, I need you here with me
We can't go on this way
I'm falling hard for you
All I can say
We're going round & round
We'll never gonna stop going round & round
We'll never get where we're going
Round & round
Well you're gonna miss me
Cause I'm getting dizzy going
Round & round & round
Love me or love me not
I'm staring at the clock
I pick them flower petals off
And then I watch them drop [x2]
[Chorus]
Boy, I need you here with me
I can't go on this way
I'm falling hard for you
All I can say
Round & round
We'll never gonna stop going round & round
We'll never get where we're going
Round & round
Well you're gonna miss me
Cause I'm getting dizzy going
Round & round & round & round
We're never gonna stop going
Round & round
We'll never get where we're going
Round & round
Well you're gonna miss me
Cause I'm getting dizzy going
Round & round & round
Uoh, uoh, uoh
Uoh, uoh, uoh
Uoh, uoh
By the end of the song people were clapping their hands and screaming. Tomoyo was recording every second of it, Sakura was screaming our names, Eriol was smiling his charming smile as always and even Li was smiling, clapping a little. I smirked and his eyes threatened to throw another thunderbolt at me while his mouth was formed into a smirk also. I looked at Tsubasa-senpai and he made a shuffle motion.
"All right! This next song is a song I've been waiting for! Our dear Tsubasa-senpai will sing it and you will love every second of it!"I screamed and the crowd roared, again, most of the girls who, again, got a glare from Misaki-senpai. I smiled and walked back to the drums, fishing out my drumsticks, one of them was pink with oranges on them and the other was orange, with sakura petals on them. They represented my name, like a yin-yang sort of thing. My first name, that was the orange one, can't live without my last name, so there are sakura petals on them, representing my last name, Sakura. My last name, the pink one, can't live without my first name, so oranges, representing my first name, Mikan (Mandarin Orange), decorated it. All the girls in this class called it cute and I nearly killed them. Of course they forgave me since they knew years of doing could make people irritated by calling them cute. I mean seriously, stealing Alices and killing people isn't really cute. But there are some really cunning people who pass off as that like Eriol-kun. He's not cute; he's kinda hot and…I just called Eriol hot! I know I was probably red by now so I shook my head and sat down.
(Tsubasa)
It's all the same, only the names will change
Everyday it seems we're wasting away
He smiled at a few girls and they fainted. He's so going to get hit by Misaki-senpai…and there it goes.
Another place where the faces are so cold
He rubbed his head and pouted at her.
I'd drive all night just to get back home[Chorus:]
I'm a cowboy, on a steel horse I ride
I'm wanted dead or alive
Wanted dead or alive
That was actually true, except he was usually known as Unmoving Shadow.[Chorus]
Sometimes I sleep, sometimes it's not for days
And the people I meet always go their separate ways
Sometimes you tell the day
By the bottle that you drink
And times when you're alone all you do is think
I walk these streets, a loaded six string on my back
I play for keeps, 'cause I might not make it back
I been everywhere, and I'm standing tall
I've seen a million faces an I've rocked them all
I'm a cowboy, on a steel horse I ride
I'm wanted dead or alive
I'm a cowboy, I got the night on my side
I'm wanted dead or alive
And I ride, dead or alive
I'm pretty sure that most girls would have perverted thoughts about that line.
I still drive, dead or alive
Dead or alive [x4]
The crowd started screaming his name and some of ours. Sakura of course was really pumped, jumping into the air, screaming and shouting. Tomoyo was videotaping her, camera going up and down as Sakura jumped. Eriol had caught my eye and winked at me, making me go a little pink. Li was watching Sakura go up and down, smiling.
"Okay, now that that song's over, let me warn you girls that if you get anywhere near Tsubasa with any kind of ideas I will rip your heart out so that you never love or live again!" Misaki-senpai threatened and the girls backed off, scared. Tsubasa-senpai walked over to her and gave a long lingering kiss and when they broke apart Tsubasa-senpai chuckled.
"Don't be so jealous, Misaki." He said softly, charming every girl in this class. Misaki crossed her arms and murmured a "Fine." And I went back to the mic.
"Okay, this next song is my second favorite. I wrote this one even though Tsubasa-senpai said he wanted to help." (I love this song!)
(Mikan, Everyone+Crowd)
I am unwritten
Can't read my mind
I'm undefined
Staring at the blank page before you
Open up the dirty window
Let the sun illuminate the words
That you could not find
Reaching for something in the distance
So close you can almost taste it
Feel the rain on your skin
I'm just beginning
The pen's in my hand
Ending unplanned
Staring at the blank page before you
Open up the dirty window
Let the sun illuminate the words
That you could not find
Reaching for something in the distance
So close you can almost taste it
Release your inhibitions
Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
The rest is still unwritten
Oh, oh
I break tradition
Sometimes my tries
Are outside the lines
We've been conditioned
To not make mistakes
But I can't live that way, no
Staring at the blank page before you
Open up the dirty window
Let the sun illuminate the words
That you could not find
Reaching for something in the distance
So close you can almost taste it
Release your inhibitions
Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
To the years where your book begins
Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
To the years where your book begins
The rest is still unwritten
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
To the years where your book begins
Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
To the years where your book begins
The rest is still unwritten
The rest is still unwritten
The rest is still unwritten
When I said the last sentence screams erupted from the crowd and I smiled. "Okay, this next song a little more upbeat, can you keep up?" I shouted.
"Yeah!" they shouted. I nodded and motioned for them to play.
(Mikan MisakiBoth)
Yeah, uh oh, uh oh, uh oh, yeah"Let's hang out"
Then you confess that there's something special
In between us, why don't we find out(a rock star)
If you only knew the real me
I might even be a rock star
I'm telling you that we are meant to be
Sometimes I walk a little faster
In the school hallway just to get next to you
Some days I spend a little extra time
In the morning just to impress you
Guess you don't notice, guess you don't need this
Sad, you're not seeing what you're missing
On the outside shying away
On the inside dying to say
I'm unusual, not so typical
Way too smart to be waiting around
Tai Chi practices, snowboard champion
I can fix the flat on your car
I might even be a rock star
I might even be a rock star
Sometimes I wish when the phone rings
That it would be you saying,
You don't know me, guess you don't need me
Why you're not seein' what you're missin'
On the outside shyin' away
On the inside dying to say
I'm unusual, not so typical
Way too smart to be waiting around
Tai Chi practices, snowboard champion
I can fix the flat on your car
I might even be a rock star
Now wouldn't it be nice if you could see
That I really am a rock star
Yeah, yeah, woo
Yeah I really am a rock star
Ha, a rock star
I'm unusual, not so typical
Way too smart to be waiting around
Tai Chi practices, snowboard champion
I can fix the flat on your car
Rockin' it wherever we are, yeah, yeah
'Cause I really am a rock star
'Cause I really am a rock star
I am a rock star, whoa, yeah!
I could hear the crowd and it felt good, to be noticed and appreciated. In class, getting noticed to me and having a lot of close friends wasn't exactly good unless you wanted to die one day and leave all of them behind. But, here I could be myself and have friends.
(Mikan)
[Verse 1]
We sign our cards and letters BFF
You've got a million ways to make me laugh
You're lookin' out for me; you've got my back
It's so good to have you around[Chorus 1]
You're a true friend
You're here till the end
You pull me aside
When something ain't right
Talk with me now and into the night
'Til it's alright again
You're a true friend[Verse 2]
You don't get angry when I change the plans
Somehow you're never out of second chances
Won't say "I told you" when I'm wrong again
You know the secrets I could never tell
And when I'm quiet you break through my shell
Don't feel the need to do a rebel yell
Cause you keep my feet on the ground
And suddenly find myself thinking of my old friends.
I'm so lucky that I've found[Chorus 2]
A true friend
You're here till the end
You pull me aside
When something ain't right
Talk with me now and into the night
'Til it's alright again[Bridge]
True friends will go to the end of the earth
Much like me with Hotaru.
Till they find the things you need
Friends hang on through the ups and the downs
Cause they've got someone to believe in
Ruka and Natsume[Chorus 3]
A true friend
You're here till the end
You pull me aside
When something ain't right
Talk with me now and into the night
No need to pretend
You're a true friend
You're here till the end
Pull me aside
When something ain't right
Talk with me now and into the night
'Til it's alright again
You're a true friend [3x]
Some people were crying and holding their best friends while some were clapping with love. Sakura and Tomoyo were hugging each other saying "You're my best friend Tomoyo." And "You too Sakura-chan." And continued crying. Li and Eriol were staring at the girls looking at them like they went crazy.
"Last song, people, hope you enjoy." I said softly.
(Mikan)
How did I get here
I turned around and there you were
I didn't think twice
or rationalize
Cause somehow I knew
That there was more than just chemistry
I mean I knew you were kinda of into me
But I figured it's just too good to be true
I said pinch me
Where's the catch this time
Can't find a single cloud in the sky
Help me before I get used to this guy
They say that good things take time
But really great things happen
in the blink of an eye
Thought the chances to meet somebody like you
were a million to one
I can't believe it (o whoa)
You're one in a million
All this time I was lookin for love
Tryin to make things work
They weren't good enough till
I thought I'm through
Said I'm done
Then stumbled into the arms of the one
Your makin me laugh about the silliest stuff
Said that I'm your diamond in the rough
When I'm mad at you
you come with your velvet touch.
can't believe that I'm so lucky
I have never felt so happy
everytime I see that sparkle in your eyes
They say that good things take time
But really great things happen
in the blink of an eye
Thought the chances to meet somebody like you
were a million to one
I can't believe it (o whoa)
Your one in a million...(yeah yeah)
All this time I was lookin for love
Tryin to make things work
They weren't good enough till
I thought I'm through
Said I'm done
Then stumbled into the arms of the one
I said pinch me
Where's the catch this time
Can't find a single cloud in the sky
Help me before I get used to this guy
They say that good things take time
But really great things happen
in a blink of an eye
Thought the chances to meet somebody like you
were a million to one
I can't believe it (o whoa, yeah, yeah)
They say that good things take time
But really great things happen
in a blink of an eye
Thought the chances to meet somebody like you
were a million to one
I can't believe it(o whoa)
Your one in a million.(yeah)..One in a million...
(Yeah)
You're one in a million
When I sang that last line the room was quiet and about 2 seconds later the crowd erupted like a volcano of screams and cheers, people were still crying ** but still clapping.
:::::::::::::
Natsume POV
"Oh my gosh." We all said at the same time. That girl on stage was…Polka? Polka, the talentless annoying 10 year old girl who turned into a friendless, lonely 14 year old who know we find out have friends all over the school and can sing and play drums and keyboard.
"That was unexpected." Ruka said.
"Very." Permy agreed. Hotaru was now running her hands all over the computer.
"What are you doing now?" Luna asked, completely annoyed.
"Just watch." She said. It turned into a scene with Tsubasa. She paused it and zoomed in below his eye. "That is his Mark of Punishment. Supposedly, it causes him pain when the creator of that thing wants to." We nodded. Then she skipped to the scene where Tsubasa had kissed Misaki. The camera had seen that by the side so you could see the side of the faces. Imai zoomed in on her neck, and right there, just barely hidden by her hair, was the same exact mark that Tsubasa had on his face. "There's the Mark of Punishment again on Misaki's neck. Now…" she fast forwarded and went to a scene where the camera had gotten a little too close to Megane. Imai zoomed in again and got a picture of his neck. "Look, closely." She told us and we saw the star again at the base of his neck, which was very visible since he had a very loose tie. "Another Mark of Punishment." She said and sighed. "Finally." She went to a scene where Polka had turned around. Imai zoomed in again and we saw a picture of her neck, and at the back, which would usually be covered by her hair, was the Mark of Punishment. "Mikan has it too."
"So what you're saying is…" Sumire said, not really sure.
"That whatever Tsubasa has been hiding all these years is what Mikan, Megane and Misaki are hiding too." Hotaru said simply.
"And you our help to figure it out." I said it as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.
She smirked. "Exactly."
