Last time: "Oh, and as far as the school knows…"

She said stopping and turning to look at the principals and the ESP from over her shoulder.

"I'm in the Special Abilities Class. I'll be seeing ya."

She said before walking out of the room, supporting my weight as she went.

-Mikan-

"I can't believe it! Hana is in my class! I can't wait for you to meet everybody."
I said as I dragged Hana behind me towards the special abilities classroom. I opened the door and everyone said hello.
"Good morning guys."
I said with a smile before pulling Hana into the room.
"Guys, we've got a new member!"
I yelled and everyone scrambled out of their seats to come see.
"Guys, this is Hana."
I said and everyone erupted into a round of 'hellos' and 'nice to meet yous'.
"Its a pleasure to meet all of you."
Hana said before bowing. I noticed she didn't wince and smiled that her side was getting better.
"So, what's your Alice?"
Tsubasa-sensei asked and Hana scratched the back of her head awkwardly.
"Umm, I kinda made a promise to my brother not to show off."
She said and everyone groaned.
"That's alright. It's good to have you here."
Misaki said and Hana smiled. I couldn't help but smile, Hana had changed since she first got here. She seemed cold and distant when she first sat beside me, but now she smiles and seems to be happy, just like Natsume-kun.
"Hey, let's have a party to celebrate!"
Misaki yelled and everyone cheered before they got started on decorations.
"Is it always this hectic around here?"
Hana asked and I smiled.
"Sometimes, but it's always fun."
I said and she laughed.

-Ice-

"Okay, so let me get this straight. You two passed and should have graduated from this place, but the principals made you stay?"
I asked Tsubasa and Misaki and they both nodded.
"Yes, we were here when Mikan here was in elementary school."
Tsubasa said and my eyes widened.
"That's not fair! They can't do that!"
I yelled and Tsubasa smiled at me.
"Its ok. We don't mind, we have a lot of fun here. And besides, neither of us really have a place to go outside of the academy."
He said and I calmed down.
"If you say so."
I said and he ruffled my hair. I blushed and looked down at the table.
'Why does he have to be so cute?'
I wondered as I willed my blush to go away.
"Hey! It's the 23rd of the month!"
Misaki said and everyone turned to look at her confused.
"And?"
Mikan asked.
"And, that means the Alice Festival starts in two weeks."
She said and everyone erupted into cheers. I looked around confused.
"Umm, what's the Alice Festival?"
I asked and Tsubasa turned to look at me.
"That's right, you don't know. The Alice Festival is when all types of Alices show off to sponsors and other students. It's like a town festival."
He said and I smiled at the thought. I'd never been to a festival and it sounded like a lot of fun.
"Too bad Jinno-sensei said we couldn't participate this year."
Misaki said and I frowned.
"What! Why?"
Mikan and i asked in unison and Misaki scratched the back of her head.
"Because we got into some trouble with one of the other Alices and were banned."
She said and I glared at the table.
"Hana? Are you okay?"
Tsubasa asked and I growled as I stood up.
"This will not do. You guys start preparations for whatever you did for the last Alice Festival and leave Jin-Jin to me."
I said before walking out of the room.

I walked into the Staff Room after knocking and saw it was empty except for Jinno. I smiled before walking up to him.
"Hello Jin-Jin."
I said sweetly and he froze before turning to look at me.
"Hello Hana. What can I do for you?"
He asked and I pouted as I wrapped my arms around him in a hug from behind.
"I just learned that the Special Abilities class was banned from the Alice Festival."
I said and Jinno pushed his glasses up his nose.
"That is correct and you can't change my mind. They caused a huge ruckus with the Technology Alices."
He said and I pouted even more and moved so I was standing in front of him.
"That sucks."
I said as I fake sobbed.
"I've never been to a festival and I was really looking forward to it."
I said as I forced myself to cry.
"D-don't cry, there's always next year."
He said, trying to calm me down, but I buried my face into my hands and started to cry.
"But I was so e-excited to d-d-do it this year."
I said and heard him sigh.
"Fine, the Special Abilities can participate. Just stop crying!"
He yelled and I jumped up and wrapped my arms around him and smiled.
"Thank you Jin-Jin!"
I yelled before running out of the room.
"Why do I get the feeling like I've been played?"
I heard him ask himself as I walked away and I smiled as I wiped my eyes. One of the benefits of being able to make yourself cry at will is you often get things to go your way.

I opened the door to the Special Abilities room to see everyone working on something. Tsubasa was the first to notice me.
"So? What'd Jinno-sensei say?"
He asked and I frowned, acting all dejected.
"Aww, well we can always try-"
"He said yes!"
I yelled, interrupting him and he smiled as he picked me up and spun me around.
"I don't know how you did it, but thank you."
He said and I blushed as he hoisted me up onto his shoulder.
"What's all the commotion over here?"
Misaki asked as she and Mikan came over.
"Hana managed to convince Jinno-sensei to let us participate in the festival."
He said and everyone cheered.
"That's great! Come on guys, we've got a lot of work to do."
She said and everyone got to work.
'This is going to be fun.'
I thought with a smile as I looked around at everyone working so hard for the festival.

-two weeks later-

-Ice-

"Are you guys sure people will like something like this? It doesn't seem like something people here would like."
I said as I changed into the desert outfit Misaki had given me.
"They loved it last time, we have no doubt they'll love it this year. And we'll have an extra part now because of you."
She said and I sighed as I walked out from behind the changing screen.
"Fine, but I don't think I look too good in this."
I said looking down at the light blue tube top covering upper half, but leaving my belly exposed. The midnight blue pants, sandals, and belt wrapped around my waist. I looked up to see all the girls smiling at me and all the guys blushing.
"What?"
I asked and Misaki and Mikan erupted in a chorus of 'kawaiis' and I blushed.
"I really think you and Mikan look a lot cuter."
I said and they blushed at my compliment. Tsubasa cleared his throat, catching all of our attentions.
"Are you sure you want to stay hidden in your part of the maze?"
He asked and I nodded.
"Yeah. That way I can participate while still keep my promise to my brother."
I said and he nodded.
"Alright, well all that's left is to wait for the customers."
He said and I smiled as everyone took their places.

-3 hours later-

"Umm, I think something might be wrong here."
I said and Mikan nodded.
"Well, the location isn't ideal. But once we get a couple of customers then it'll pick up."
Tsubasa said and I sighed as I leaned against the setup.
"I somehow doubt anyone will come all the way out here."
I said, then Mikan yelled and ran down the street towards the three approaching figures.
"Naru-sensei! Luca-Pyon! Natsume-kun!"
She yelled and I looked up to see them walk up to the entrance of the maze.
"So this is what the Special Abilities class came up with?"
Narumi asked and Mikan nodded and smiled. I sighed and Tsubasa looked at me.
"Why so down?"
He asked and I looked up at him.
"We've been open for three full hours and all we have is three people."
I said and he frowned before bending and picking me up. I squealed in surprise and wrapped my arms around his neck as he sat me on his shoulder.
"Don't get so down. Even if we don't get customers we'll all have fun. Because of you we all worked really hard on this. So don't frown so much, because it doesn't look good on such a pretty face."
He said as he poked my nose and I smiled at him.
"Hana! Luca-pyon, Naru-sensei, and Natsume-kun said they'd be our first customers."
Mikan said running over to us. I smiled down at her as Tsubasa set me down.
"That's great."
I said as I turned to look at Natsume, Narumi, and Luca.
"Don't you look cute in that outfit."
Narumi said and I blushed at the compliment.
"I think I look silly."
I said and Tsubasa flicked me in the head.
"Hey!"
I yelled and glared at him.
"What the hell was that for!"
I asked and he smiled at me.
"You look fine."
He said and I blushed.
"Doesn't she?"
He asked Natsume and Luca and I turned to look at them. I saw Luca blush as he looked at me and I smiled at him. I looked over at Natsume and saw him look me up and down and i blushed.
"Hmph."
He said and I sighed to myself. I don't know why, but the way he dismissed me hurt.
"Come this way and pick your weapon before going into the maze."
Tsubasa said as he laid a hand on my shoulder.
"We're not participating."
Natsume said and I looked down at the ground. I squealed as Tsubasa picked me up and looked me in the eyes.
"Don't worry about it, they're just scared cuz they know they can't get past YOUR part of the maze."
He said before tickling my stomach and making me laugh.
"Hahaha, quit!"
I yelled and Tsubasa smiled before setting me down.

-Natsume-

I glared at Tsubasa as he picked Hana up and held her so close. Then when he tickled her and made her laugh I almost burned him where he stood. He set her down and she turned to look at me and Luca.
"It'll be a lot of fun."
She said with a smile and I felt my face heat up.
"Fine."
I said and she jumped up into the air.
"Yes!"
She screamed before grabbing Tsubasa's and Mikan's hand and pulling them into the maze. I sighed before walking over to the box marked 'weapons' and pulled put a robotic cockroach. Luca got some rope and Narumi got a flower.
"Good luck."
Misaki said as she pulled the curtain aside and closed it after us
