A/N: Hello, FFNers! What's up? I haven't updated this story for a while! But, I had this sudden burst of imagination last night when I was having a hard time sleeping. It was so awesome! But, I forgot what it was. I remembered this part though! :D LOL :D Uhm, tell me what you think. Do you want this to be a Ruka-Mikan fic? Or a Natsume-Mikan fic? there will be a poll in my profile (if I won't get too lazy after I post this) But, if there's none, PM me or just simply review. :) I probably won't update 'til I have your opinion.
BELATED HAPPY BIRTHDAY, RUKA NOGI! (March 16)
Disclaimer: I own Polaroid, Apple, Canon, and a flying pig. So, I must be the author of Gakuen Alice! "BOO!" *throws apple* "You suck!" LOL :D =))
FAMILY BONDING
Normal POV
A brunette was waiting in the middle of the music and arts building. She got her white blackberry from her bag pressed a button and held it to her ear.
*ring*
"Hey." the person from the other line said.
"Ruka. Where are you?" Mikan said in her nicest voice.
"Uhm, what? Why?.." there was silence when...
"HOLY CRAP! Oh My God! I'll be right there!" The line dropped. Mikan placed her phone back to her bag. looked at her fingers, and started to count.
*5*
Ruka placed all his art materials back in the right places.
*4*
He gathered his books and papers, and slung his bag over his shoulders
*3*
He ran so fast that he almost fell off the stairs
*2*
He was there on the last step of the staircase
*1*
He dashed towards Mikan and skidded to a stop just before she hit rock bottom.
"Where were you?" Mikan asked calmly.
"Ahahahaha, well you see..." He trailed off nervously.
"Fine. I'll let you go this time. Be thankful that I had a good day today." She smiled a sunny smile.
"Whew! I'm so thankful right now. Well, let's go pick the boys up then." Mikan hooked arms with Ruka as they went towards the Elementary school division.

Youichi's POV
Mamoru was busy colouring with Imai while I was stuck here, just reading my manga. I looked over to my left and saw Aoi (I smiled inwardly when I say her name) runmaging through her Spongebob backpack.
"What are you doing?" I asked her. Genuinely curious.
"I'm looking for my favorite book." She said while looking in her bag and sticking out her tongue while she reached for something. "Aha! I got it!" She placed the book on her
other side, so I didn't sea what it was. She organized her stuff, placed her bag on the side and started reading a book. When I read the title, I was so shocked, I almost jumped on her.
"No way..." I whispered.
"Youichi-kun? What is it?" She asked. But, before I could stop myself, I literally snatched the book away from her and read it with lightning-speed. When I was done, I looked at Aoi and shyly gave her back her latest chapter of Naruto. She looked at me in amusement and said "You like Naruto too?" I nodded enthusiastically. "Do you??"
She smiled and then we started talking about the manga, what we like, what we don't like. I learned she likes manga, Spongebob, the color blue, fluff puffs, chocolate ice cream, dogs, and cute stuff. She dislikes insects, bugs, snakes, spiders, heights, dark places, and being alone. I was about to ask her another question when...
"You-chan!" Mamoru practically screamed in my ear.
"What do you want?" I snapped at him. He merely shrugged, and pointed to the door. I looked at the door then, I blushed. Onee-san and Ruka-nii was smiling slyly when Aoi and Yuna went to them. My sister knelt down to their level and said
"Hello! I'm Mikan Sakura!"
"I'm Aoi Hyuuga! And this is Yuna Imai! We are best friends since birth and new friends of Youichi and Mamoru! I am pleased to meet you, Sakura-sempai." Aoi and Yuna curtsied.
"Oh please, Aoi-chan. Call me onee-chan!" She sent me a mischievous grin "I'm Youchi's older sister and this is Ruka" She motioned to Ruka-nii, who smiled a radiant smile. "He's Mamoru's older brother. You can call us, Mikan-nee and Ruka-nii if you want." Onee-san motioned for me to get my stuff. I did what she said and went to them, my cheeks slightly pink.
"Do you have a ride? Yuna? Aoi?" Ruka-nii asked. Aoi smiled and said "Well, our personal drivers are going to pick us up. Why'd you ask, Ruka-nii?" Onee-chan smiled, clapped her hands together, and said "Well, since it's still a bit early, why don't we go get ice cream? Will your parents be okay with that?"
Aoi and Yuna didn't seem to have a second thought and agreed ever so willingly. But, secretly, I'm happy to be spending time with the people I loved since I was born and it seems that two new people have been added.

Normal POV
Two flashy sports car made its way to the private park owned by the Sakura family. It had a huge gate with the initial "S" in the middle. They parked their cars in the lot and went to the ice cream parlor.
"Daichi-jii! How are you? I haven't visited you in a while haven't I?"
The old man chuckled and said "It's been a while hasn't it, Mikan-chan? Look at you! All grown up! And is that Youichi, Ruka, and Mamoru? My, my! Did you guys come here to rub my age in my face?" The four laughed carefreely. Mikan looked at Aoi and Yuna and back to Daichi and said "Daichi-jii! I'd like you to meet the new friends of Youichi and Mamoru. This is Aoi Hyuuga and Yuna Imai." The two girls smiled at Daichi as he smiled back.
"So, what will it be today?"
"I'll have two scoops of strawberry ice cream on a sugar cone with marshmallows, please!" Mikan said with puppy dog eyes.
"I'll have two scoops of blueberry cheesecake ice cream on a sugar cone, Daichi-jii." Ruka respectfully smiled at the old man.
"Two scoops of chocolate ice cream with marshmallows and chocolate chips in a bowl, make that double please." Aoi smiled in appretiation.
"Same with You-chan, Daichi-jii! But make it Vanilla, please." Yuna grinned.
The two teens sat on the swings, with their ice creams as they were observing the four children as they sat under the big, leafy tree.
"Ruka.." Mikan said lightly.
"Mhmmmm?" Ruka said while staring at the orange sky.
"How are you? I missed you a lot, you know."
"That's good to hear. I missed you a lot too. I've been busy these past few months. But, there wasn't a day when I didn't think of you, Youichi, Yuka-san, Izumi-san, and Rei-nii."
"anything new?" Mikan whispered.
Ruka looked at her with a serene smile. "Not at all. If there was, I would have told you." Mikan stayed quiet, as she continued on finishing her ice cream. "How about you? anything new?"
"No, not at all." four kids went towards them and said "Let's go home, onee-chan, onii-chan!"
It was around 6 p.m. when the six of them said goodbye to Daichi, hopped on their cars, Youichi, Aoi with Mikan in her car. Mamoru, Yuna with Ruka in his car. Ruka and Mikan dropped the girls at their own houses, not before kissing Ruka/Mikan, Youichi/Mamoru on the cheek and saying thank you and goodnight.
--
When Mikan and Youichi were walking to the main house after parking Mikan's car, they saw Ruka and Mamoru heading towards them. The Sakura siblings waved, which were returned by the Nogi siblings.
"Can we join you for dinner?" Ruka asked Mikan.
"Sure! The more the merrier!"
--
They ate dinner like a normal family would. Asking about their day, the people they met, what they did. So far it was all going smooth. But that was just day one. What happens to the next? Who knows? I don't even know, myself. So, yup! Til next chapter!
I was going to add more, but I got lazy all of a sudden. *shrug* Stay tuned for the next chapter!
Love it? Hate it? Review! :D
