~Lunchtime at the Cafeteria~

"Boohoo, Hotaruuu what am I gonna DOooo?" Mikan Sakura wailed loudly at a table, banging her fist with tears streaming down her face.

BAKA BAKA BAKA

Hotaru blew smoke off her baka cannon version 3. Hotaru was a genius inventor before being an idol. But that doesn't stop her from making stuff in her free time. The baka cannon was just one in her collection of 'Idiot Punishers', a series of inventions used to stop idiots like Mikan.

"Shut up you're noisy. Just live with it. Natsume would be dead already if he wasn't a popular idol." A dark look crossed the beautiful girl's face. Natsume was left partially alive in the classroom, with fangirls fawning over him. Many of them were angry at Hotaru but none of them dared to cross the Ice Queen. Her inventions were well-known after a boy got into the Intensive Care Unit for three weeks when he made fun of her poker face. He had two black eyes, four broken ribs, a fractured leg and a dislocated arm. A few teeth were knocked out as well.

"Hotaru..." Mikan's eyes welled up again and she tried to hug her best friend.

"Back off. You'll get snot on me. I have a photo shoot later." Hotaru waved her baka cannon.

Anna and Nonoko consoled Mikan, who curled up into a ball at the edge of the bench. Just then, a boy with dirty blonde hair came over.

"Inchou." The four girls acknowledged their other class rep. Tobita Yuu is another member of Star Prism, the keyboardist. By coincidence he was present when Mikan arrived as he had to check on his newly arrived custom-made keyboard. So he was introduced to Mikan along with Hotaru.

"Hi. Sakura-san, Narumi-sensei called for you. He needed to speak to you about something." Yuu smiled shyly at Anna before waving and walking off.

Three girls started at the recipient of the smile with questioning looks. Anna blushed madly before stammering "Mikan..yo..you...need to..see...see Narumi-sensei." Mikan slapped her forehead and stood up to go off. Just then, she spun back round and looked at Hotaru and Nonoko, "You will tell me about it, won't you, guys?" The two of them nodded and waved at her to leave.

Mikan sighed again for the second time that day and made her way to Narumi's office.

Knock knock knock

"Come in!" Narumi called out.

"Mikan-chan! You got your first job! So I was here sitting at my desk when I suddenly saw this email from the Newbie Star magazine. It's this magazine that features new idols every month, and since you're the latest idol in Alice Academy, you will do the honors. It will be so exciting! Your very first job and a chance for everyone to get to know you..." Narumi blabbered on and on.

No normal person would understand what this freak in a prince costume would be saying, but then again no one is "normal" in Alice Academy. Mikan caught on immediately. "REALLY?!" She exclaimed., going starry eyed. "OMG this is awesome! When is it? Where is it? What will I be doing? What will be happening?"

BAKA BAKA BAKA

"Owwww!" Both teacher and idol held their heads in pain.

"The same place as me. Same time too. You will be modeling branded clothes. Now hurry up and pack. The shoot is in two hours." Hotaru Imai appeared out of nowhere. A shocked Narumi and Mikan were tongue-twisted with no words to say. They could only gape open-mouthed at the blacked-haired girl standing in front of the door as if she had been there forever. Narumi stuttered "Hotaru...chan...Err… What... are you...doing here?" Hotaru glanced expressionlessly at her teacher, and pointed at Mikan. It was quite obvious: picking up her stupid friend who was bound to insist on walking and end up getting herself lost and late for the shoot. She said it out loud.

One look at Mikan's surprised wide eyes would be enough to confirm the truth in Hotaru's words. She went starry eyed again and once more tried to hug Hotaru, resulting in three more hits in the head by her baka cannon.

"I told you not to get close to me with snot on your face." The Ice Queen snapped and turned on her heels, strutting out of the office. "Wait for me!" Mikan bowed to Narumi and ran off after Hotaru. "And what about Anna and Inchou?" Mikan's voice echoed down the hall. The of a cannon being loaded could be heard.

Narumi smiled. Teenagers... good to be young.

~At the location of the photo shoot~

"Pose! 3...2...1… Okay, next!"

Mikan turned awkwardly and tried to make a relaxed pose, leaning against the makeshift wall, clad from head to toe in branded clothes. A Miss Selfridge dress, Michael Kors accessories, Alexander McQueen pumps… Luckily Mikan's past month of hard training paid off. She was able to pose beautifully for her shoot. Even though Mikan is on the path of a singer, which idol doesn't do photo shoots?

"Not bad… For a girl who wears such childish panties." Somebody murmured into Mikan's ears as she was about to go get changed.

... …

"Kyaaaaa!" Mikan whirled around to slap the person, but her hand was caught mid-air by Natsume Hyuuga. Ruka was standing near him, and blushing with his rabbit. Behind them were three other guys, one of them Yuu, another with a stupid grin on his face and the last one with eyes so small that they could be blindfolded by dental floss . "Hello Sakura-san! We're on our way to our agency when we passed by and decided to drop in for a peek." Yuu introduced the two remaining guys who haven't met Mikan yet to her. " This person who would forever have a smile on his face is Kokoroyomi, our rapper but you can call him Koko. This one over here with small eyes is Kitsuneme, or Kitsu. He is our drummer. The two of them are brothers and their names are of course, not real ones, but nobody presses around here." "And the five of us form Star Prism." Natsume ran his hand through his hair, making a few female photographers squeal. Mikan just rolled her eyes. "Pervert." She retorted.

"Natsume, since when did you start going after girls?" Koko asked mischievously. Kitsu formed a heart shape with his hand and angled it so that it only contains Mikan and Natsume.

CLICK!

"Lovely pose you got there." Hotaru had finished changing and was holding her camera. Suddenly, Ruka's rabbit jumped out of his arms.

CLICK!

"Thank you Bunny boy, for the picture." Ruka went beet red and started chasing Hotaru, trying futilely to get the camera whilst his rabbit jumped after him.

"Time to go back to school." Hotaru grabbed Mikan and pulled [dragged] her to their waiting car. "I...I haven't changed!" Mikan gasped between breaths. "The car windows are tinted. Now hurry up! I need to get these developed," was her friend's only words as she pushed her into the car and slammed the door. Mikan belated realization once again cost her as the car started moving.

"Wait, wait, WAITTTTT!" She screeched.

I made this chapter longer than the previous two ones. Originally I wanted the prologue to be with chapter one, but it turned out too long so I separated them.

Oh, and any request for the next chapter? Not that I don't know what to write, but I want to know from ya'll what you want for the next few chapters. PM and reviews both accepted.

Love you all!
