Please note before continuing on with the story.

Mikan, Natsume and the group are either 15,16 or 17.

Aoi and Youichi are both 11 years old.

Misaki and the other senpais are around their 20s

They are also more free than the actual manga/anime. They get a choice of staying at the academy or go home when they want. Unless certain circumstances make them stay at the academy.

And, I suck at grammar (:

After school finished, students either went back to their dorms, went home or went to central town. For Mikan, she was dragged into the idea of going to central town. So, she had to ask Natsume Hyuuga to go with her, though, she had to find him first. She went into their classroom, the playgrounds, the cafeteria, asked people where they thought Hyuuga might be, and finally, she found him, at a Sakura tree. Now, she just had to ask him…

"No" was his answer

"Aw! Come on! Please!"

"Go away"

"PLEASE!" she started to jump up and down, then she continued, "And don't you ever talk to anyone with more than 2 words? Ever?" she asked. Natsume gave out a sigh, and then gave out a smirk.

"NO WAY, POLKA"

"WHY? PL- eh? Polka?" She stared at Hyuuga in wonder 'what on earth is he going on abo-'

"AHHHHK! YOU DAMNED PERVERT! YOU MONSTER!" she screamed. Hyuuga just sat there continuing to read his manga, though, with a smirk on his face.

"Your fault for jumping up and down" he said coolly, only to realize he just started an argument, a noisy one.

"WELL, YOU CHOSE TO PEEK AT IT!"

"Just quiet down, will ya!" he replied, starting to get annoyed.

"NO, unless you come along with me" she stated. You don't be a best friend of a blackmailer without picking up a few things. Hyuuga just glowered before giving out a 'Hn' indicating that he'll go only if she just shuts her yap.

"YAY! Thank you Hyuuga-kun!" With that, she gave him a hug unconsciously, making the boy blush; luckily his bangs covered his face.

"Mind letting go, Polka?" he replied as coldly as he could, which didn't work out so well.

"Oh, sorry, Hyuuga-kun, meet you at the bus stop, then" quickly letting go, and then standing up to head to her dorm to get ready only to be stopped by his voice.

"Oi, Polka, stop calling me 'Hyuuga-kun', call me Natsume" he told her. She simply smiled, and then quickly ran off to get ready or else she would be late.

When she finally left, Natsume slumped against the trunk of the tree. 'Damn' he thought 'what the hell just happened?' Little did our Natsume know that his feelings were only developing.

Mikan quickly arrived at her dorm, quickly dressing up into her clothes, grabbing her purse, then ran to the bus stop where her and her new friends, Anna, Nonoko, Sumire, Yuu, Ruka, Mochu and Natsume were meeting. In the end, she wore a plain v-neck plain grey t-shirt, faded blue jeans that stop at her knees, and a black ¾ sleeve jacket and she wore black ballet flats. As plain as her clothes were, she still looked amazing. 'Simply amazing' is what she often received as she quickly made her way to the bus stop from people who saw her go past. When she reached the bus stop, only the boys and Hotaru had arrived. It seemed like she was early after all. When the boys saw her, they blushed, they were also amazed by what she was wearing, she wasn't wearing any make-up and her clothes were plain and simple, her hair was tied up in her usual ponytail, and she still managed to look simply gorgeous. They had a quiet chat for a bit, then when everyone arrived, so did the bus. They all hopped on, all seated with their partners. It was a silent trip except with the whispers of Anna, Sumire and Nonoko talking about what they plan to buy.

When they reached Central Town, they decided to take turns for which shop they wanted to go to. So let the travels begin! Ladies first~(much to the 'gentleman's' misery). Anna was up first to choose, she chose a clothing store called 'Chicabooti'. Everyone went it. Yes, everyone, even Natsume Hyuuga, though only because Ruka was dragged in, by Anna, so he dragged in Natsume, too. They spent in there for about 30minutes, it was then Nonoko's turn to choose, she chose a clothing store as well, named 'Valley Girl' so they all went there and all went in again, and spent their time in there for about 30 minutes as well. So far, the boys didn't think it was too bad, I mean, they were only one shop… Until they reached Sumire… it was her turn. Anyone who knew her, knew how she shopped. When she went shopping she likes it big, so, she chose…*drum roll* …

"MY CHOICE IS MYER!" exclaimed Sumire. The girls merrily chuckled whilst the boys felt like hell. Mochu, Koko and Ruka exclaimed "NO! WHAT THE HELL! THAT'S EXTREEEMEE CHEAT! MYER'S GOT LEVELS! NOO!"

"Live through it boys" was all Sumire said before walking off to the direction of 'Myer' with her arms linked with Anna and Nonoko and Hotaru trailing behind them. Mikan just stood next to the 3 boys with Natsume, watching them sulk before she bent down to their level (they were crouching down on the ground) and patted them on the head, making them look at her, before she spoke.

"It's alright, it should be over soon, then it will be your turn to choose which store to go to, so, try to live it through, ok? Plus, Myer's got a few things for you guys. The only thing you've got to live through is the amount of mannequins they place around the fashion level, and the perfume sections. Heads up, the perfume sections have extremely strong smells- makes you sneeze a lot too, if you're not use to it much". With that, she headed off with her friends. Leaving Natsume and the 3 boys to watch her retreating figure. 'Oh boy, this sure is one screwed up day for us' they all thought.

After an hour and a half of hell in Myer, it was finally Mikan's turn. All boys were worried wondering what she was going to choose. Stupid as he is, Koko asked "are you going to choose the same as Sumire? Like, David Jones?" which earned him an elbowed from both Ruka and Mochu and a glare from Natsume. Though, much to their surprise, Mikan just chuckled and ask in return, "why Koko? Do you want me to choose that shop? I mean, I wouldn't mind, mayb-"

"NO!" cried out Ruka, Mochu and Koko at the same time, in panic. Mikan then assured them it was alright.

"Haha, guys, it's cool, and anyway, I just want to head to the book store. There have been a few books I've been meaning to buy for a while now. Let's go" Mikan then headed off with Hotaru and the guys following, with the rest of the girls whining about her choice of her choice of store whilst the guys couldn't be more than delighted, even though Mikan had chosen the book store with 3 levels, though, the guys couldn't be happier.

[Inside the bookstore]

"Damn… this place is huge!" exclaimed Mochu. Mikan just chuckled before announcing she was heading off to look for the books she wanted. Natsume tagged along too. Mikan couldn't help but comment.

"Oh, so you like to follow me, eh, Hyuuga?" Natsume just glowered at her before he replied.

"Whatever, think what you want".

They stopped at the music section; they searched around in there for a bit. Mikan, feeling a bit awkward with the silence, tried to start a conversation.

"Do you play any instruments, Hyuuga?"

"Not if I can help it, and I told you to call me Natsume, did I not?" was all he said, trying his best to concentrate on the book he had in his hands. In the corner of his eye, he saw her give an awkward smile before heading off to the novels section. He just went the complete opposite section to head to the manga section to see if the next book of the series he was reading was released yet.

After an hour, all went to the cash register. Sumire, Anna, Hotaru and Nonoko ended up buying a few things from the books store, though, not surprisingly, Sumire bought fashion magazines, Nonoko bought some books for chemistry, Hotaru bought some books on robots and Anna bought some books about cooking. Though, they were shocked by the amount of books Mikan had in her hands. So, being gentlemen they try to be, they offered to help, though, she declined the offer saying she was fine. Natsume, being who he is, just snatched ¾ of the amount of books she had in her hands. What caught his attention was the price all the books would add up to, so out of curiosity, he asked "Hey, Polka, you know that the amount of books you're going to buy adds up quite a lot, right?"

"Yeah, I know, I check the price before I buy things, Hyuuga, and don't call me that" replied Mikan, though, when she saw the way Hyuuga look at her, she realized what he told her about an hour ago.

"I mean, uh, I always check the prices of the books I buy and make sure I have enough money for all the books, Natsume". With that, he gave a satisfied nod. Not soon after, it was her turn to pay for her books. All books added up over 200 rabbits. All wondered, except Hotaru, how she was going to pay for it, though; Mikan just took out her money from her purse without a care. Noticing the stares she asked what they were looking at.

"Well, where did you get all the rabbits from, Mikan?" asked Koko

"Yeah, speaking of which, I don't think special stars get that many rabbits, do they?" Mochu said, looking at Natsume, who indicated that they don't get that much. Mikan just chuckled and told a lie, hoping no one would know. "Well, since I just came here, and I'm special star, the principal gave me extra, though; my allowance will soon be same as Natsume's- 350 rabbits". Everyone seemed to have believed it, so she said they should probably go grab something to eat. All agreed. Then, all boys rejoiced aloud, except Natsume, that it was finally their turn to choose where to go, all girls except Hotaru, who was already reading her book and Mikan who just merrily chuckled at how happy the boys seemed.

After eating, all boys had their turn in choosing the stores they wanted. Koko was first, he chose a toy store, Mochu then chose music store, and Ruka chose to visit a pet store and finally Natsume chose a book store.

In the end, all bought something. Only to realise that they will soon have to go back soon to buy some more things for an upcoming event that was going to be an event they are to remember.

This somehow was a longer chapter… I guess shopping is always longer…hmm…

And, thank you, hannah-chanxox for correcting my mistake with the cooking-alice person. I corrected it and…yeah… upload the fixed version (:

Please tell me what I need to fix.
