Author's note: Hey guys! Don't worry, if your following my Goblin Bride story, it is technically on hold at the moment until my inspiration starts wheeling its thread and start turning it into gold again. For now, this story has been on my mind for a while, and I would love to hear your feedback. I've always had a fascination with aliens and the galaxy, so I thought why not give this a go with a gakuen alice twist.

Disclaimer: Nope, don't own Gakuen Alice or the T.V show Star-Crossed. If I did, the Star-Crossed show would have never cancelled and Gakuen Alice would be rolling a season two or a season three by now. This is loosely based off Star-Crossed, but it is my own plot, I just borrowed the concept.

Written in the Stars

~Chapter one: Be careful what you wish for

Ten-year-old Mikan couldn't sleep, no matter how hard she tried. She stared up at the ceiling, which consisted of yellow paper stars, a white paper moon, and colorful paper planets that plastered themselves on the entire ceiling. She always had a fascination with the galaxy, especially the possibility of another alien race living somewhere out there. She always wondered if there were other people that lived on a different planet? And how come the grownup astronomers weren't venturing out more to check out that possible theory?

She decided not to dwell on her perturbed thoughts any longer, thinking it would be best to get out bed because she isn't going to fall asleep anytime soon. She grabbed her flashlight off her desk, also her blanket and pillow off her bed. She wanted to go to outside, and gazed out the real twinkling stars instead of the fake ones on her ceiling.

Mikan quietly opened her door, tiptoeing through the hallway, passing by her parents and her older brother's doors, she didn't want them to know she was sneaking out again. Her current heart condition wasn't good for going outside, but she couldn't bear being condemned in this house any longer. She almost felt like Rapunzel locked up in her tower, and her sickness was the chains from keeping her from going outside.

When she headed down the basement and reached the back door, she held in her giddy glee when she slid the screen door open. It was a beautiful summer night; she could hear the crickets chirping, also the bright stars were winking down below her, and a full moon was out. Mikan set her favorite teddy bear blanket down on the grass, and then she laid herself down.

She gazed up at the stars in pure wonderment, grinning like an idiot. She tried to see if she could recognize some of the constellations up there, and she was high on alert for a shooting star. It was a good thing she was, because all of a sudden, not one, not two, but three shooting stars were falling from the sky. However, unknown to her, they were space ships not stars.

Mikan closed her eyes real tight, making her wish. She wished someone from outer space could cure her, and become friends with them as well.

When she opened her eyes, she noticed the moon turned red as blood. This made her felt uneasy, and before long she felt the ground shaking beneath her. She gasped in fright, about to run back inside, but clumsy as always, she accidently tripped over her blanket.

She twisted her ankle, and felt the pain upon her. She saw that outskirts of Tokyo, all of the lights turned off like an off switch, and then there was this blinding light that inflicted on her poor brown eyes. Finally, after a while, the burning light diminished, and her ankle didn't hurt as bad. As she tried to make an attempt to get up, she noticed someone was hiding in the bushes.

She found her flashlight and turned it on, she put the light towards the bushes. "Who's there?" She asked, with a hint of tremble in her tone.

The person that came out, was a boy around her age. She saw that his red eyes were brighter than the planet Mars. He looked like he got his face painted, with fancy designs that were styled all over his face. She had to ask him what carnival he went to or festival he went to get his face painted like that? It even looked like the paint was glow in the dark too, how cool is that.

As she slowly got closer to him, while limping her way over in the process, she noticed it wasn't paint on his face. Those strange designs were tattooed all over his face, and he lit up fire from his hand. He put his finger to his lips, implying her to be quiet. She nodded her head for response, still mesmerized on how he lit fire on his hand.

She noticed he put out his fire and fainted on her, making them both tumble down in the process. Mikan noticed his breathing was irregular, and he was sweating like crazy. Should she take him to her parents? But something was stopping her from doing so. She looked at her dad's tool shed, and then back at him, an idea popping into her head. She put his entire weight on her, ignoring the white-hot pain from her ankle. She took him into the shed, then went back to get the blanket and pillow. She got him all comfortable, deciding to come back early in the morning and hoped he would be okay.

When she got out of the shed and closed it, she felt her mother putting her in a tight embrace.

"Mikan, what on earth were you doing, come inside, now!" Her mother exclaimed with a choked sob.

She dragged her daughter back in the house, having no idea that her daughter just met an alien from other planet.
