Konnichiwa minna-san! I'm a new writer of fan-fics, so please do not kill me for being annoyed with my work! Onegai!

Disclaimer: Even if I want to, never in a million years, will Gakuen Alice belong to me.( hehe, I really wanted to do that at least once!)

'Do you really want to die that bad?'
'Why? Won't you be happier if I did?'
'Baka! Stop being so selfish!'
'I need to be stronger!'
'Then let me help you!'
'No.'

She sat up in bed. After a few seconds of rubbing her still sleepy eyes, she stretched, her golden brown hair tumbling down her shoulders and reaching her back. She yawned, wide, pink, full lips parting and a cute nose wrinkling. She opened her eyes, revealing honey colored irises still sleepy, her long and thick eyelashes casting shadows on her high cheekbones. After a final stretch, she flopped back down on the bed.

'Baka! Baka! Baka!' The shots rang out and the poor girl on the bed flew, her head hitting the board of her small bed.
"Mou, Hotaru! What did you do that for?!"
The said girl merely rested the legendary invention on her shoulder, before saying, "I told you to wake up early, stupid." in her normally emotionless voice.

"I am not stupid!"
"Yes, you are."
"Hotaru! Don't be a meanie!"
"Act your age first. You're 20 now, not a 10 year old child. Besides, you are making both of us late for work."
"Hai!"

Mikan Sakura stood up from her bed and rubbed her aching head a final time before turning to Hotaru Imai, her best friend and the one responsible for waking her up in such a rude way, and giving her legendary smile. Hotaru leveled her deadly invention she called the "Baka gun", used for hitting idiots like Mikan, at the girl and Mikan immediately ran for her bathroom.

Hotaru sighed softly, so softly as if she didn't sigh at all, and sat down elegantly on the shabby bed Mikan just vacated. The two girls had been together for a long time, so Hotaru is not surprised at all with her friend's tardiness. Hotaru admits readily that she is a very anti-social person and would just rather build things than talk to another person. This is the main reason why she is called the "Ice Queen" and the reason why no one wants to talk to her.

But Mikan, with her bright smile and cheerful personality that never fails to appear, went straight to her and said, 'Do you wanna be friends?' She knocked her down immediately with the latest invention she was working on that time, ironically the 'Baka gun'. After that encounter, she expected Mikan to stay away like the rest of her classmates who tried to do the same. After all, she was also considered weird, building things that can kill a person, an IQ higher than theirs and so quiet and reserved with herself, her mask of indifference always in place.

But Mikan kept coming back. And again. And again. And again. Withstanding the limits of a body's capacity exposed to the Baka gun that is continuously being updated, Mikan also showed her so much kindness and warmth that she was not able to resist her charms and managed to finally tolerate her at the end of their elementary school years.

'You are very precious! I love you!' was what the dumb girl would always tell her. And she would only look at her and stare at her honey colored eyes and hit her with the baka gun, especially made for her. And of course she would complain, but Mikan has already figured her out and knows that this is how she shows her love.

At least, this is what she tells herself whenever Mikan makes her annoyed and she needs to remember why she bothered making friends with an idiot of a girl. But as she listens to the silly girl now out of the bathroom and running around the small room, hurrying to get dressed, she knows that deep down inside her.

And I mean, really deep down. Deeper and deeper. Deeper. She really is grateful to have a friend like her. Then she glanced down, looked at the time and shot Mikan square in the forehead without even looking up.
