Moon: Don't own ANYTHING!
Mikan's POV
"I refuse."
"Mikan please put the dress on."
"No, I already told you that I don't want to."
Mitsukai was trying to get me to put on my costume for the play. I hated it. Mainly because it was a dress, had a long skirt and it was girly. The dress was red with poofy sleeves until about my elbow then it flowed out a bit, the skirt was simple, and there was gold embroidery at the waist.
"Sakura-san please try it on," said Umenomiya.
"Sakura do it or I'll show every boy these pictures of you sleeping," Imai threaten while holing the pictures.
"Fine I just have to try it on right?" I grabbed the dress from Mitsuki and went in the curtains that they put up.
20 minutes later.
"How long does it take for someone to put on a dress?"
Natsume's POV
I saw Imai and the others stand outside one of the curtains. "What are you doing?"
"We're waiting to see Sakura in her play costume," Imai said holding a camera.
"Mikan are you done yet?"
"No."
The twin with the blue streak walked in. "No! I don't wanna!"
"Mikan it looks great on you so come out and let Mitsukai see if we need to make changes!"
"No! Imai has her camera and I don't want boys to see!"
The twin came out pulling on a hand. "Can you help?"
The girls helped her and they mange to pull her out. She looked amazing. The dress complimented her eyes perfectly and faintly shows the size of her chest. She looked like an actual girl. Then she glared at me.
"What do you mean that I actually look like a girl?"
"Your chest is small and you only wear skirts for school."
Then I saw Imai take pictures and Sakura broke her camera.
"It's good but there's something off," said Anna.
"Her hair? It might look better in a loose braid."
The twin with the pink streak undid her pigtails and her hair fell down to her waist.
"Sakura your hair is so pretty!"
Her hair like that completed the look. She should wear her hair like that all the time, it looks better that way.
"You aren't helping my situation," Sakura said. The twin started to braid her hair. When she was done she held a mirror in front of Sakura.
"What do you think?"
"It works. I guess."
"Now that that's done we need to see if Romeo looks good too."
"Leave that to me."
Imai went to get Ruka.
"Hotaru! Where are you taking me?"
"Ruka, be quiet and hurry up."
"Hotaru!"
"Who said you could use my first name?"
Imai…
Mikan's POV
I hate this dress. That is what I thought as I watched Nogi get mad in his costume at Imai for taking pictures. He was perfect for Romeo. (Just imagine him in a poofy blue shirt and those pants that people used to wear a long time ago in white)
"So these costumes are good now Hotaru-"
"Don't call me that."
Mitsuki handed her 80 rabbits. "Continue." Everyone sweat dropped.
"Hotaru-chan, I need you to try on your Juliet costumes. And yes there's more than one," Mitsuki said.
Imai went in the curtain. "Natsume-kun, can you try on the costume we have for you?"
"Hn."
Then Mitsukai handed them their costumes. A few minutes later Hot- I mean, Imai came out in the same outfit as mine.
"Hmm… Ruka-san what do you think?"
Nogi was blushing. "It's… um… it's-"
"What a hopeless boyfriend."
"Hotaru…"
"It looks good on you, "said Nogi.
"Okay now can you put on the other outfit?"
Imai didn't answer and went back in to change again. Then Natsume came out in a British guard outfit with a mustache. (Can you imagine that? I can and it's funny)
"Why the hell, am I wearing a mustache," he asked irritated.
"You're not the only one the other guards are wearing them too."
Then Imai came out in a purple version of my costume. She looked at Natsume and started taking pictures of him. And so he got angry and burned the film.
"That will be 150 rabbits for burning my film," Imai said while holding out her hand.
"Why are you charging me when that girl," He said then pointed to me," broke your camera?"
"I managed to save the film. So I can just repay for a new one with the money from her pictures. So pay up," she explained with her hand still out for the money.
Then he didn't speak and just went to go change out of his outfit. "Natsume, do you want me to sell these pictures of you in a maid costume to your fan girls?"
A decent sized sack came out from the curtain. Imai took it and weighed it in her hand. Then put it in her pocket.
After everyone changed.
The twins and I went to their store after they finished up all the costumes.
"I've been meaning to ask you two something."
"Yes," They both asked.
"When did I tell you that I was going to wear that dress to a dance I don't even plan on going?"
"I thought it would be a good idea, no one would know it's you."
"And Nobara's been wanting to go too. Besides it's it time that you show everyone your gentle brown eyes?"
Did she say brown? "Yes, I did. I have a mind control Alice so I can listen to other's thoughts and make them do whatever I want. While Mitsuki has an elemental Alice."
"So basically I can use earth, air, water, and fire. Anyway, we thought that you should just play around that night and you know everyone needs to have some fun once in a while."
"But-"
"Don't say that you can't afford it. Or that you'll have a mission."
"Mikan, Onee-chan is right. Have some fun in your life. Before everything gets too complicated."
"Complicated?"
Then I noticed that we were in front of their store.
"Well, thanks for walking back with us. Say hi to Nobara for us. Good luck."
"Bye then."
I teleported to my room. Then started thinking. Should I go? Everyone will be wearing masks so… it wouldn't hurt to go… would it? And Nobara wants to go too. So what do I do? Go or not… I'll just go since Mitsuki told all the girls in class that someone was going to go in that dress. So, I'm going to the masquerade.
Normal POV At the store.
"Onee-chan," Mitsukai called.
The elder twin put her tea down. "Hmm?"
"Do you think that the fortune teller is right?"
"About what's going to happen to Mikan? Well, we can't know for sure."
"Will she really…?"
"If she does fall in love with the black cat. Then…she just might end up like that for the one she loves," Mitsuki said a bit scared.
"We couldn't stop it?"
"We can't stop love. No matter how powerful we are."
Day of the play right before it. Mikan's POV
Today's the day. I sit in my costume with my hair done reading my parts in the script. Then I heard a knock at the door. I looked behind me to see Nobara holding a bouquet of flowers.
"Hello Mikan-chan. You look pretty," she said in her soft voice. Then she handed me the flowers.
"Thank you. Nobara, are you watching the play?"
"Part of it."
"I hope you enjoy it then."
"No one is allowed back here except people that are in our class," said a cold voice.
Nobara and I looked at toward the door to see Natsume in his guard costume.
"N-n-n-Natsume-kun. I just want t-to see Mikan-chan."
"Why aren't you with Persona?"
"Hyuuga I think you should chase after Imai. I saw her take a couple of pictures to sell to people."
Then he went to go hunt Hot- Imai. 'Thank you Mikan-chan. Natsume always scares me."
"No problem. I think you can stay back here to watch the play."
She smiled and nodded a thank you. "By the way Mikan-chan Mitsuki and Mitsukai said that you were going to the dance next month."
"Yeah I think I'll go. They said that you wanted to go too. Which, is the only reason why I'm going."
"They told me that if you're going to tell you that we need to go to their shop three hours before."
"Everyone to center stage!"
'Later."
She waved. Then I hurried to where everyone was listening to Naru give do your best crap and etc. Few minutes later the curtain was raised and the play started.
Scenes later Balcony scene (I'm sorry to everyone who wanted me to type the entire play and if I get any lines wrong.)
"Change to the balcony!"
I sighed and watch as they quickly changed the scenery. Then I felt Persona behind me so I turned around. "What?"
"Mission in ten minutes. Nobara's waiting too."
"I'll be there." Then I got up and ran to Imai. "Sakura shouldn't you be on stage?"
"Change your clothes and put on a brown wig."
Before she could say anything, I put the gown on her and the wig then ran with her. "I'm not going to be here from the entire scene so stand behind me and wait."
We went inside the handmade balcony. Then they curtain rose again. Nogi walked in. Then I appeared at the balcony window.
"But soft what light through yonder window breaks? It is east and Juliet is the sun! Arise, fair sun, and kill the envious moon, Who is already sick and pale with grief That thou her maid art far more fair than she. Be not her maid, since she is envious; Her vestal livery is but sick and green, And none but fools do wear it. Cast it off. It is my lady, O, it is my love! O that she knew she were! She speaks, yet she says nothing; what of that? Her eye discourses, I will answer it.
I am too bold: 'tis not to me she speaks. Two of the fairest stars in all the heaven, Having some business, do entreat her eyes To twinkle in their spheres till they return. What if her eyes were there, they in her head? The brightness of her cheek would shame those stars,
As daylight doth a lamp. Her eyes in heaven Would through the airy region stream so bright
That birds would sing and think it were not night. See how she leans her cheek upon her hand
O that I were a glove upon that hand, That I might touch that cheek!"
Wow… that is kinda sappy and how the hell did he mange to remember all of that?
"Ay me!"
"She speaks. O, speak again, bright angel, for thou art as glorious to this night, being o'er my head, as is a winged messenger of heaven. Unto the white-upturned wondering eyes of the mortals that fall back to gaze on him When he bestrides the lazing-puffing clouds and sails upon the bosom of air."
These line are really long. "O Romeo, Romeo! Wherefore art thou Romeo? Deny thy father and refuse thy name or, if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love, and I will no longer be a Capulet."
As Nogi recited his lines, I only had three minutes left. I quickly formed an ice pick and secretly threw it at a stage light. Then ran while saying, "Good luck."
I ran to the back door to be stopped by Hyuuga. "Where the hell are you going?"
I didn't answer him and went past him. Then he grabbed my arm and forced me to look at him.
"Answer me, bloody rose."
Does he know that I'm going on a mission? I hit him with my other hand and knocked him out. Then teleported to where Persona and Nobara were.
"Late by ten seconds. I'll punish you later."
"Do you plan on going on a mission in those clothes," asked a cold Nobara.
I pulled off my gown to reveal a black tee with black sweatpants and sneakers. Then we both put on our masks.
"You both are to steal back a girl with the Alice of explosion. She is in a cell in the basement of the HQ of the AAO."
We nodded and teleported to the basement where there were about 60 or 80 guards around the entire basement. They must really not want us to take this girl.
"Freeze the guards."
Nobara nodded. Ice appeared everywhere but where we were. So all the guards completely froze were they were. We walked out of our hiding place and I kicked the door and looked inside. There was a girl that looked no older then 5 frightened.
"W-who are you," she asked in a scared hoarsely voice.
"We're from Alice Academy. And we're here to take you away from this place."
"B-but I'm not allowed to. O-or s-someone will hurt me."
"If you come with us no one will hurt you," I said in a comforting voice. I extended my hand to her. "Come on, no one will trap you in a cage like this."
Her hand hesitantly took mine. "Hold on tight." She nodded and held my hand tightly. Nobara grabbed me too then we teleport. As we teleported I unfroze the room. When we were back at the academy, we saw Persona with a watch.
"It took 15 minutes only. Put the girl in the elementary school office dorms after."
We nodded. Then Persona took out a small causal of pills and handed me three. I swallowed them. I'm not going to be able to sleep tonight. I really don't know how but the pills somehow electrocute my insides making it harder to use my Alices. I felt a shock at my chest and started to clutch it.
"Onee-chan, are you alright?"
I looked at her worried face. "I'm okay, don't worry."
I stood up. "Now let's take you to the elementary section."
She nodded. I teleported us to the office with some difficulty.
"What are you doing here at this time," asked a female voice. It was the elementary school principal. (Just think that the old one is gone or dead, or something he's not there)
"This girl was retrieved from the AAO and so she's going to be studying here," I explained.
"Then I'll take her."
The ESP held her hand out to the little girl but she hid behind me. "Sakura-san how about you stay with her for tonight?"
"It's alright but I have to get up early tomorrow."
"Then why don't you let her sleep in your room and I'll have someone pick her up in the morning."
"I think that will be fine."
"Now what's your name," she asked the little girl.
"Miku."
"Last name?"
"I don't know."
"Then Miku-san you'll start your classes in two days then. Good night."
"Miku-chan, let's go to sleep"
"Hai, Onee-chan."
We went to my room and I changed her clothes into a tee-shirt that I outgrew and let her sleep on the bed. I unfortunately couldn't sleep because of the pills so I stayed awake for the rest of the night. When it was five I changed into a simple spaghetti strapped black dress, left my hair down, and left a note, breakfast, and a change of clothes for Miku. Then I went to my uncle's office. Time to leave to visit Mamma and Daddy.
