The summer holidays ended and so everybody found their way back to Alice Academy again for the new term. Natsume was standing outside the school gates waiting for a particular brunette to arrive when he seen a girl fly past on a moped with two pigtails swirling around in the wind.

"Hey Natsume!" Mikan cried out, taking her helmet off and running over to him.

"What the hell Mikan!" he said, firing up. "You told me you weren't going to let your father teach you how to ride one of those death traps!"

Mikan stuck her tongue out, "this is a moped Natsume. Not a motorcycle," she said pointedly.

"I got my licence for it and everything," she continued before Natsume could interrupt. "I even got a perfect score on my test! I wanted to make sure I'd pass though before I told you," she finished self consciously.

Natsume looked the moped over. It looked sturdier than a motorcycle but he couldn't help but be concerned.

"A perfect score huh?" he said catching what she said.

"Yeah, I was surprised too," she said.

"I'm not surprised," he said, tipping her chin. "You're a hard worker. I'm sure you studied well."

She smiled a little shyly at him before returning to her exuberant state.

"I can drive!" she cheered happily.


"I don't believe this," Tono said resting his head in his hands. "First Naru gets a girlfriend, then Tsubasa gets back with Misaki. Even the brats," he said pointing over in Natsume's direction, "have girlfriends."

Reo looked over and sure enough Natsume, Ruka, Kitsuneme and Koko were each sitting next to a girl.

"I feel so lonely," Tono joked, taking another gulp of his juice.

"Don't say that," Reo said smiling widely, "you've got somebody too."

"What are you talking about?" Tono asked.

Reo pulled out his phone and bought up the picture of Tono spooning Misaki, before doubling over in laughter.

THE END
