"…." Means they're talking

'….' Means they're thinking

--previous chapter--

"Relationship? You want to be in a relationship with me, Polka? Is that it?" Natsume smirked.

"W-wha-? No! Who would want to? I'm trying to get along!" Mikan said, flustered.

Hotaru and Ruka watched the amusing show before them.

"Mikan?"

Mikan and Natsume stopped quarreling. The four teens looked behind Mikan to find the owner of the voice.

Chapter 10

"Mikan? Is that you?" Standing before the four kids was a boy with a star on his left cheek and with blue hair and blue eyes. (a/n: I wasn't sure if his hair was blue or purple… so… yeah)

"Yeah, I'm Mikan. How do you know my name?" Mikan asked.

"What? You don't recognize me, Tsubasa Andou?" he asked.

"Tsubasa…? Andou…?" Mikan asked. "AAAHHHH!! Tsubasa-senpai?"

"Haha, that's right. Didn't you see those pictures we sent you?" Tsubasa asked.

"I saw a few, but Kai and my mom were hogging them. I can't believe I got to see you so soon!" Mikan jumped up and hugged Tsubasa.

"Who are you?" Natsume asked.

"Oh, I'm Tsubasa Andou, a sophomore here. Nice to meet you."

"Tsubasa-senpai, this is Hotaru-chan, Ruka-pyon, and Natsume-kun," Mikan introduced.

"Yeah, I know. I watch TV," he said.

"Are you an actor or singer or something?" Hotaru asked. "I've never heard of any 'Tsubasa Andou' before."

"That's right, Tsubasa-senpai. Why are you at this school? I thought this school was for celebrities," Mikan asked.

"Of course I'm a celebrity! Haven't you seen my face around before?"

They just stared at him.

"Come to think of it. Actually, I think I've seen you somewhere before." Ruka said. "But I can't remember where."

"I'm a model!" Tsubasa sighed. "I guess the reason you've never heard of me is because I used to model in the United States."

"That's it! You're that new model that's been becoming popular over there?" Ruka asked.

"Yep. My stage name over there is Shadow. I'm surprised you didn't recognize me, but you do now, don't you?" Tsubasa asked.

"What, you're actually famous?" Mikan gaped.

"First time I've ever heard of you." Hotaru said.

"What kind of Japanese person models in the U.S.?" Natsume retorted.

"You guys have seriously never heard of me before?" Tsubasa asked, eyes open with shock.

"… Ruka-pyon has! And he represents all four of us!" Mikan said, pointing at Ruka. She turned around to face Ruka. "Right, Ruka-pyon?"

"Uhhh, yeah. Sure," Ruka said.

"Pfft!" Tsubasa tried to hold in his laughter.

"What's so funny?" Hotaru was annoyed at the thought that he might be laughing at them.

"Hahahahahahahahahahaha!!" Tsubasa started cracking up.

"Tsubasa-senpai? What's wrong?" Mikan asked.

"Hahahaha!"

"Hey, Shadow-freak, you better shut up right now. I'm trying to eat," Natsume glared daggers at him, but Tsubasa was too caught up in laughing to notice.

"Ahahahahaha! Hahahaha!" Tsubasa continued laughing.

"Be quiet or… else," Hotaru said. She had an evil glint in her eyes that was being completely ignored by Tsubasa.

"Hahahahahahaha!"

Robemat suddenly appeared.

"No, not Robemat! Tsubasa-senpai, you have to stop laughing! He's dangerous!" Mikan pleaded.

Robemat jumped toward Tsubasa's face.

Tsubasa kept laughing but looked up to see the robotic cat.

And, as if in slow-motion, Robemat spun around slowly in mid-air before Tsubasa'a eyes.

He spun… and spun… and spun until finally he faced Tsubasa again and… kicked!

Tsubasa went falling backwards into the ground.

"Owww! That hurt! What was that?" Tsubasa asked.

"Sorry, but I needed to do that in order to calm you down," Hotaru replied.

"Tsubasa-senpai, are you okay? I understand how much it hurts," Mikan sympathized.

"Anyway, why were you laughing so hard? Were you laughing at us?" Ruka asked.

"Huh? Oh, no I wasn't. Hehe. Hahaha," Tsubasa laughed, but stopped short after receiving three menacing glares. "Sorry, but I wasn't laughing at you guys. I was laughing at that kid over there on the other end of the room. Milk came out of his nose, so I couldn't help myself."

"…"

"…"

"…"

"… Really?"

"Yeah, honestly."

"No, I mean, really? Like, how could you just start laughing like that because of something so stupid in the middle of a pleasant conversation?" Hotaru asked.

"You got saliva all over my food…" Natsume said.

"You kids are so cute. Acting all cool like that," Tsubasa laughed. Sigh. "I can just remember when I was your age. I was so popular, and I used to get love letters all the time! Whether they were hand-written letters, texts, emails-" Tsubasa stopped.

"You're only a year older!" Mikan said as she giggled. She stopped when she noticed Tsubasa was thinking about something. "Tsubasa-senpai?" Mikan asked.

"That's right! Mikan, you've been getting emails, haven't you? From a certain mysterious?" Tsubasa asked.

"Eh? Yeah, I have! How'd you know about them, Tsubasa-senpai?" Mikan asked. She didn't tell anybody about those emails.

"Hehe," Tsubasa grinned as he gave her a wink. "We've been sending them. Me and Yo-chan."

"What, really?" Mikan gasped. "I thought they were being sent by some idiotic prankster who didn't have anything better to do than to send emails to random people anonymously!"

"Well, you didn't guess wrong," Natsume smirked.

Tsubasa sweat-dropped.

"But how did you know about me becoming an idol before we announced it?"

"Simple. Narumi's a friend of my manager, so when we came back, Narumi met us and told us all about it." Tsubasa explained.

"So you were back here before today?" Mikan inquired.

"Yeah."

"Then why didn't you come see me before?"

"I was busy with work and settling in and stuff."

"Oh."

"But I think me and Yo-chan are coming over to your house today. If you'll let us," Tsubasa said.

"Sure! Hotaru, Natsume, and Ruka can't come to practice today anyway." Mikan chirped.

Ring!!!

"Looks like it's time to go," Ruka said as he got up.

"Yeah, bye Tsubasa-senpai," Mikan said.

"Ok, see ya. Let's meet in front of the school after school ends. Don't forget to tell Kai to come home early, too," Tsubasa said as he started walking away.

"Ok!"

Natsume got up and threw away his tray of mostly uneaten food. Hotaru, Ruka, and Mikan started walking with the rest of the crowd back to the classroom. Natsume looked at Mikan's back for a while, then at Tsubasa's retreating figure. He shook his head and smirked as he followed the rest of his classmates out the doors.

After School

"Bye Hotaru-chan, Ruka-pyon, Natsume-kun!" Mikan waved goodbye as they got into their managers' cars and drove off to their work. 'Hmmm, I wonder if Tsubasa-senpai has any work today.' Mikan wondered as she skipped to the front of the school.

Mikan was nearing the front of the school when she saw Tsubasa. "Tsu-" she started as she waved, but soon stopped when she saw another person with him.

"I-I-I like you, Andou-kun," the girl said.

Tsubasa just continued looking at her.

"Do you want to g-go out?"

Tsubasa sighed silently to himself. He was about to say something when he noticed Mikan standing several feet away.

He started smiling. He said something to the girl as he pointed at Mikan. The girl turned and saw Mikan. Then, she started crying and ran away.

Mikan was shocked at what just happened. She ran up to Tsubasa.

"Tsubasa-senpai! What did you say about me?" Mikan asked.

"Huh? Did I say something about you?" Tsubasa asked, looking innocently at Mikan.

"I don't know, but you pointed at me, the girl saw me, and then she ran away crying!" Mikan exclaimed.

"Well, she was just confessing to me," Tsubasa said.

Mikan gasped. "W-what? Like a l-l-love confession?"

"Yeah."

"W-wow! I didn't know you were actually popular!" Mikan gaped at Tsubasa with wide eyes.

"Hey! I'm offended. But whatever, I reject everyone anyway," Tsubasa said as he tilted his head back and started walking.

Mikan ran to catch up. "Why? Don't you like them?"

"Well, I don't hate them or anything. It's just that I have a reason to reject them."

"What reason?" Mikan asked.

Tsubasa eyed Mikan for a second. She stared back at him with curious eyes. Tsubasa looked away and simply said, "I like someone already."

"What? Really? Is it someone I know?" Mikan asked.

"Yeah, I guess you could say that," Tsubasa said as he laughed.

"Wow, that's amazing! I never knew you liked anybody!"

BAKA~ YOU ARE A BAKA~ THERE'S NO ONE AS STUPID AS YOU~ DING DONG~

"What? I thought I changed it back to Hotaru's song! I guess Kai changed it back," Mikan said as she took out her phone.

She opened her cell phone and said, "Hello?" She waited for an answer.

BAKA~ YOU ARE A BAKA~ THERE'S NO ONE AS STUPID AS YOU~ DING DONG~

"What?" Mikan looked at her phone like it was crazy.

Tsubasa took out his phone. "Oh, looks like Yo-chan's calling," he said.

"That's your ringtone?" Mikan asked.

"Yeah, you've heard it before?" he asked.

"Kai put it as my ringtone."

"Oh yeah, I sent this ringtone to him a few days ago."

"You have his number?"

"I got it from your mom."

"Ah, I see."

"Hello?" Tsubasa asked into the phone. "….. Okay, we're almost there. Bye."

"What'd he say?"

"He asked me where we were. He said he's with Kai, and they're already at your house." Tsubasa replied.

"Let's hurry! I can't wait to see Yo-chan!" Mikan said as she ran forward.

"Hey! Wait, Mikan, that's-" Tsubasa yelled after Mikan. BAM!!! "-a pole…" Tsubasa ran to Mikan.

"Ooowww… That hurt!" Mikan said as she waddled around dizzily.

"A- pfft- A-Are you okay, Mikan?" Tsubasa asked as he tried to conceal his laugh.

Mikan shook herself back to reality. "Yeah, I'm fine." She looked at Tsubasa, who was holding his stomach as he shook next to a wall.

"Hey! Tsubasa-senpai, why are you laughing?" Mikan accused.

"Hahaha! Whew! Sorry, sorry, I couldn't help myself," Tsubasa said as he turned back to Mikan.

"Hmph."

"Aw, don't be mad, Mikan."

Mikan turned the other way.

"I'll buy you some ice cream next time, okay? I don't have any money on me right now," Tsubasa said.

"Promise?"

"Yeah, yeah, let's go to your house now," Tsubasa said as he led the way. Mikan followed along happily.

Finally, they arrived at Mikan's home.

"Yo-chan! I'm home!" Mikan opened the door to her house.

"Finally, took you guys long enough," Kai said as he appeared from the kitchen.

"What are you guys doing in the kitchen," Mikan asked. She entered the kitchen with Tsubasa.

Mikan saw Youichi and Kai making something in the kitchen.

"Yo-chan!" Mikan exclaimed as she ran forward to hug him.

Youichi turned around and let Mikan hug him.

"Awww~! You're still so cute, Yo-chan!" Mikan said as she cuddled him.

"Hehe, Yo-chan's the one who told me what to write for the emails," Tsubasa chuckled.

"Mikan-nee, I'm cooking," Youichi said when Mikan kept cuddling him.

"You know how to cook?" Mikan asked.

"He's been wanting to be a chef lately. Cute, right?" Tsubasa said.

Youichi turned around and glared at him. "Don't call me cute." He turned back around to his cooking. "Plus, it's better than being a guy who puts make-up on."

"W-what? How many times do I have to tell you? There's a difference between regular girl make-up and the kind models put on. The one models put on are more… more… for both genders!" Tsubasa said.

"Sure, whatever helps you sleep at night," Youichi smirked.

"I'm saying-"

"Come on, stop fighting, Tsubasa-nii and Yo-kun!" Kai cut in.

"By the way, what are you cooking, Yo-chan?" Mikan asked as she peered over his shoulders.

"A cake."

"Is it almost done?"

"Yeah, just got to bake it, then decorate it."

"Can I help with decorating?"

"Yeah, we should all decorate it together. I'll show you guys how," Youichi said.

Youichi put it in the oven and set the time.

"Want to go shoot some hoops while we're waiting?" Tsubasa suggested.

"Sure, let's play two-on-two!" Mikan chirped. "I'm gonna be with Yo-chan," she said as she hugged him. "Kai and Tsubasa-senpai can be on the same team."

"Ok, where should we play?" Kai asked.

"I know the perfect place," Mikan said.

Ok, it's done! Chapter 10! Well, I wanted to put a cliffie, but I couldn't think of anything to put. I hope you guys loved it! I'm hoping to speed up this story so I can start another one! But I wanna finish this one first... who knows how long that'll take... -_-... Anyway I had fun introducing Tsubasa and Youichi in this chapter~

Don't forget to review!!! XP
