Author's Note:

This is a collaboration with my brother, Hidden-Danger524. He challenged me to write something Artemis Fowl and Gakuen Alice. It actually seemed impossible at first. Now it seems fun to write this when I am trying to escape from studying. This chapter is like a filler. A fun one that I came up with when my brother thought that I should make Natsume out of character. It did not seem like a bad idea, but with my writing style it would be hard. Besides, I liked the character as he is. Then, I thought it would be fun to turn Artemis into a playboy temporarily.

It was a dare. I took it!-

Wow! This has been on hiatus for longer than I thought! I am so sorry! Part of the reason for my slowness is because my brother and I are arguing about one part of the story. He points out why my plan won't make sense and I am just simple stubborn. As soon as we agree on something, I might be able to do something about the plot. I hope you will enjoy this chapter... you can say that this is the calm before the storm... we will be going to the main plot soon. I can really say that doing a collaboration is difficult, especially when the two can't come to an understanding.

Yarra: I fell in love with your comment. Do not ask. I honestly did! Hahahaha…

Artemis Fowl and Gakuen Alice:

"Artemis Fowl: Alice Academy"

(A collaboration between Tsubame Ongaku and brother.)

Chapter 5: It's Genii by the Way. Alice Mix-up.

Alice Academy, Japan

Sometimes Mikan wondered if she really was Natsume's girlfriend. They hold hands sometimes but she felt that they were a couple different from others. Natsume sometimes acted very cold towards her when they were in public. He wouldn't speak to her at all and would sometimes just shrug his shoulders in reply.

When they go on dates, she would see couples leaning against one another and whispering sweet things to each other. Not that she isn't happy with Natsume. She was ridiculously happy. He might not show it much in public but he was the sweetest person when they were alone.

Once. Just once. She would like to have Natsume not be so shy about his affections towards her. Maybe then, she wouldn't feel so insecure whenever a pretty girl approached them to talk to him. Most girls always just assumed that she was a temporary girlfriend or one of his groupies.

It was because they didn't act like a couple, they said.

That morning, Mikan noticed that both Artemis and Natsume weren't in their seats. To arrive earlier than Natsume might not be so odd, but arriving earlier than Arty-kun certainly was. Since the beginning of their acquaintance, he had never been late for class. She told herself that he wasn't late yet and that he had a few minutes left. Arty was aiming for the Honor Student prize, he couldn't afford to be late.

Ruka didn't look like he knew where the two boys disappeared to. He kept looking at the empty seat nervously. Watching him feel uneasy was making Mikan feel uneasy. She didn't know how distracted she was until Anna tapped her on the shoulder to get her attention. "Mikan-chan? Mikan-chan?"

The distracted girl looked up at Anna who was smiling at her as if she knew what she was thinking. "Anna-chan? Sorry, Anna-chan. I was thinking about something. I didn't notice you calling me."

Anna smiled and assured her that she didn't mind. She pulled out from behind her what she wanted to show her. It was a pie. From the smell, Mikan could only guess that it apple pie. It certainly smelled heavenly.

"This smells heavenly, Anna-chan! Did you want me to-"

Before she could take a slice, Anna closed the lid and shook her head. "This isn't for you, Mikan. It is not ready to be eaten yet."

Mikan tilted her head, confused. "Eh? What is wrong with it, Anna-chan?"

Anna laughed and shook her head. "There is nothing really wrong with it. This is our newest creation. It is the Mix-up Pie." Anne looked very pleased with herself but Mikan simply stared at her in confusion. "It is a pie that temporarily mixes up the eater's personality! It is brilliant, right? The problem is-"

Anna chuckled nervously. "We haven't exactly determined yet how long 'temporary' is."

Mikan didn't understand why anyone would want a pie like that but she still congratulated Anna's accomplishment.

It was only then that she noticed Natsume enter the room. Two minutes later, Artemis followed. Both boys acted normal as they went to their respective seats. Was it coincidence that they both arrived almost at the same time? Narumi-sensei arrived before Mikan could dwell about it some more.

Later, she forgot about it completely.

After class, the gang gathered around Anna so that she could introduce her latest creation. Natsume and Artemis though weren't really listening. Natsume was reading a manga and Artemis was reading a book about Advanced Physics. "Natsume! Arty-kun! Come here for a minute!" Mikan called. Neither boy moved an inch. Suddenly, Iinchou proposed that they have a play soccer outside.

Everyone liked the idea. They had some time to spare before they had to go to their respective dorms. They all left. Anna left her creation in the classroom.

That was her biggest mistake.

When the group returned sweating and laughing after a game of soccer, they found the classroom empty. Natsume and Artemis were missing. They thought that they probably returned to their dorm rooms. Then there was a knock at the door, Mikan opened it and found Natsume there. She smiled and greeted him, "We thought you went back to your roo-"

But she didn't get to finish what she was about to say because Natsume gave her a bright smile and leaned down and kissed her. There was a gasp in the group because Natsume was always strict about not doing public displays of affection. The worst he had ever done in public was hold Mikan's hand. Mikan was too shocked and frozen to react.

Natsume pulled away and gave another bright and happy smile. It gave everyone in the room shivers. "Mikan, I love you!" By then, everyone realized that there was definitely something wrong.

It was then that Artemis entered the room. He had one hand in his pocket and the other massaging his temples. He had a deep frown on his face, like he had a migraine. Mikan ran to him, very panicked. "Arty-kun! Arty-kun! Something is wrong with Natsume! We have to hurry! It might be-" She reached out to touch his shoulder but before she knew it, Artemis flung her to the wall. His two arms cornering her and keeping her from escaping.

Artemis openly glared at her and said, "Shut up! You're annoying."

For a long time, nobody in the room moved. It was Anna who finally spoke. "Mikan-chan. Look here! Look!" She pointed at the opened box of her pie. Two slices were missing.

"No way!" The whole room chorused.

"Mikan! I love you!"

"Yes, yes, Natsume-kun. I love you too…" Mikan sighed, patting Natsume on the head. The academy's most notorious agent was smiling and rubbing himself against his girlfriend's hand very innocently. She turned to Anna who looked very apologetic and asked. "Anna, you really have no idea when this will wear off?"

Anna shook her head. "No. I don't at all. I am so sorry, Mikan-chan."

Mikan sighed again, wondering what she was going to do about her boyfriend now. "It is alright, Anna-chan. You didn't mean to."

Artemis relaxing on his chair and had opened two buttons on his shirt. He looked very devilish as he openly flirted with two girls from their class. The girls gushed a and giggled, very pleased with the attention they were receiving. Hotaru stood close by taking pictures of the event while Ruka tried to stop her. He knew that Natsume wouldn't be very happy when the potion wore off.

"Imai!" He was shouting and chasing after the inventor, but she was always able to escape his grasp. Hotaru had just smirked with her camera in her hands, and at times flash the camera at Ruka just to annoy him. Imai wanted to see the expression on the two boys faces when they were back to normal. Also, she could sell these rare pictures for a very good price.

"Mikan, I love you!" Natsume said again, leaning closer to Mikan and making her blush. "I love you very, very much…"

"Na-Natsume!"

Mikan's heart was beating uncontrollably. She should be happy, right? Natsume was openly showing his affection to her. So, why didn't it feel right? "Na-Natsu-"

BAKA.

Before they could kiss, Hotaru's baka-gun was shot and it shot Mikan a few meters away. "Hotaru! What was that for?"

Instead of Hotaru, as she expected, she found Artemis holding the Baka-gun and was inspecting curiously. "Imai-san, you have an interesting invention here."

"Arty-kun?"

Artemis frowned and aimed the gun towards her again. "Call me that one more time and my hand might slip. Do we have an understanding?" The frown became a frightening smile.

"Arty-kun is scary," Mikan heard Anna whisper to Nonoka. They had backed away considerably, afraid that Artemis would explode at any moment.

At that moment, Artemis's hands shook and made him drop the Baka-gun. He looked away and covered his face with his hands. "What is happening to me?" he muttered. It looked like he was really fighting to wake up from the potion. "What-"

Hotaru sighed and walked over to him to retrieve her Baka-gun. "Maybe you should be the one shot with this, Arty-kun." She bends down and picks up her gun. "You are acting like an idiot as well…"

She was about to turn to leave, but a hand grabs her to keep her from doing so. "When I said that no one calls me, Arty, that also includes you, Hotaru-chan." Artemis pulled Hotaru to him and wrapped one arm around her waist while the other hand caressed her face.

Everyone in the group sweat dropped. "Black Artemis. He is definitely Black Artemis."

Suddenly, Artemis's malicious grin changed to that of utter horror. "What-what am I doing?" He blinked, disbelieving as he began to back away. He glanced at his hand and rubbed his temples. He was used to fairy magic, but this certainly wasn't the magic he was used to.

He could not fight it.

"Artemis! T-try your best!" Mikan cheered him on with Natsume still trying to lean closer to her. Mikan, feeling uncomfortable with his change and his closeness. This was not the Natsume she knew and loved and Mikan found it very unsettling to be cuddling with him.

But Artemis was only barely listening. He was careless. How could he have been so careless? He wanted to berate himself. This was infinitely worse than his previous problem with his hormones. He staggered to a nearby seat and with shaking hands clutched the backrest, trying to keep himself.

His head felt like it was going to explode and a voice kept speaking to him and laughing. It was telling him what would be fun. Hormones? No. This was not hormones. The voices persisted, and it was loud enough for him to want to pull ever strand of hair from his head.

Hotaru sighed. She was now sitting comfortably eating her favorite crab brains. Not putting down her jar of crab brains at all, she watched the situation with a hawk's eye. Ruka was beside her, turning absolutely red at the very intimate position that his bestfriend and girlfriend were in.

"Is-isn't there anything we can do for them, Anna?" Ruka asked their classmate desperately. Anna simply shook her head. She really had no idea what to do or how long the potion needed to wear off.

Anna's eyes were downcast as she replied, "I am so sorry." Ruka almost panicked. Anna sounded like she was about to cry.

"It is alright, Anna. You didn't know this would happen, did you?" Ruka tried his best to comfort her. "Artemis and Natsume are genuine geniuses! They will get through this somehow…"

"Yes. It is not your fault. It is Genii by the way."

All became silent after that. For a long moment, no one moved or even breathed. It took even longer for the whole group to unfreeze and turn their attention to Artemis. The sweat was visible on his forehead and his breathing was slightly labored, but the fact that he now stood straight and putting into order his a skewed tie was a good sign.

"Arty-kun?" Mikan asked hesitantly. Natsume had looked up as well and watching Artemis with curiosity in his eyes. From the pout on his lips though, Artemis knew that he was not pleased with the fact that his girlfriend was paying more attention to another guy.

"Mikan, Artemis please," he reminded her, brushing his hair back into place. Artemis noticed that his hands were still shaking. The potion had obviously not worn off, but he was going to have to fight it. "This predicament is annoying." He touched his face again, trying to keep himself in check with simply his will power.

"Arty-kun!" Mikan was going to go and help him, but a hand went to her shoulder, she was shocked to find that the hand belonged to Natsume. He was gazing at her, and for a brief moment, she saw her boyfriend in those eyes. They were begging her to stay. At them, Mikan just stayed and stared. It was Anna instead that went to help Artemis.

Mikan's heart began beating wildly. "Natsume, you're-"

But the mood was broken when Natsume suddenly burst into tears and began clinging to Mikan. "Mikan! Don't leave me!"

Mikan began stepping back.

"No. No. I don't like this. Natsume… Natsume…" Her knees failed her and before she knew it, she was on the ground. "This is not the Natsume I love!"

"Mikan ?"

"Natsume! You don't need to change! I love you, Natsume." She was crying and she felt embarrassed. "I love the Natsume that won't hold my hand in public because he's shy. I love the Natsume that… that confuses me. I love the Natsume that makes me angry! And-and- I love the Natsume that is Natsume!"

"Mikan"

"No… I want-!"

"MIKAN!"

At that loud voice, Mikan screeched and fell off her bed. Hotaru, Natsume and Ruka were gathered around her. Ruka looked worried, Hotaru looked bored and Natsume looked annoyed.

Without meaning to, she began staring at Natsume. Her cheeks changed to every shade of red, Natsume noticed and his annoyed look turned to curiosity. Mikan hid under her blanket.

"Hey! We are going to be late," Artemis reminded them, waiting at the door. "Drag her out from under there if it is necessary."

"Arty-kun?" Mikan peeked from under the blanket and she was relieved to see that Artemis was still the same. Not a hair our of place, not one button unbuttoned and a bored scowl gracing his face.

"No. It's Santa Clause," he shrugged and moved away from the door. "I'm going ahead. I will see you guys in class."

Mikan remained confused What was all this? Was it all a dream then? Mikan suddenly burst out laughing. It was all a dream! It wasn't real!

"When you're done with laughing, I suggest that you get ready for class," Hotaru said, following Artemis's lead. "Ruka and I will be going ahead. Come. Lets go, Ruka."

Ruka gave a curt nod and gave one last look to Mikan before following her out.

"I'll wait for you outside," Natsume muttered once they were out of the room.

"Natsume, I-" But before she could finish, Natsume kissed her. Pulling away, he muttered that she moved fast. Mikan's brain was not working even after he was out the door.

She turned another shade of red. "He has to stop doing that!"

Outside, Natsume was surprised to see Artemis still there. "So you're going to just let her believe that was a dream?"

Instead of answering him, Natsume just closed his eyes and leaned against the doorframe as if guarding the door.

"It was a convenient time to faint. A few minutes later, we were both back to our senses." Artemis shrugged. "I can't really blame your for wanting that it didn't really happen. It was a very unthinkable situation."

Seeing that Natsume wouldn't say a word, he turns to leave. "I am going ahead for real this time."

As Artemis disappeared at the corner, Natusme replayed the events before he returned to his senses.

"I love the Natsume that is Natsume!"

An unthinkable situation… yes. But it was worth seeing Mikan look at with that look in her eyes. That look that just screamed that she loved him and no one else would ever do…

"Oi! Mikan! What is taking you so long?"

Author's Note: Thank you for the wait! And yes I will be continuing with this fic! I will just be pretty slow. I, Tsubame, have my own fanfiction page. If you are interested in more of my works I am pretty easy to find. I warn you though, I am mostly a shoujo writer. I write Cardcaptor Sakura, Tsubasa Chronicles and many more. I think I deviate a bit from the usual at my brother's request. Please tell me what you think of this story so far. I want to thank my reviewers for being so patient with me and waiting. Please keep your eyes out for the next chapter. Maybe your favorite character will make an appearance. By the way, you can even leave a name of character that you'd like to see in this story, Artemis Fowl or Gakuen Alice. I will try my best to include them. Again, thank you! And have a nice day!
