"Oh! There's Sophie-nee!" Yoichi pointed out at a girl wearing white uniform adorned with Alice academy batch while playing the clarinets as she marched with the rest of Active ability students in the marching band. Currently, Amy with the rest of her siblings, and classmates are watching the closing parade on top of the elementary roof.

There are also some students from middle school such as Tsubasa and Misaki there too, watching the parade. It was bustling with excitement for the lively marching down at the Academy's main road. While Yusaku since earlier taking pictures, hoping to save as much memory in their album- and for newspaper purpose.

As they are busy watching the parade, Amy just surveying the area on the roof.

'Ah! There he is...' Amy exclaim as she walked towards Koko. She called for his name, getting his attention,

"Koko, can I have a minute?"

Koko, with his ever smiling face, just tilted his head. At this, Amy pulled him to the side and say,

"I have a favor to asked of you... if you don't mind?"

"Why?"

"Can you... read Narumi-sensei mind? And also Noda-sensei too? They will come to the rooftop soon. I just need to confirm something"

At this, Koko just shrugged.

"Sure, but you owe me one"

"Nice, and don't say it out loud. I'll ask you later... Ah! Speak of the devil, there he is" she pointed out at Noda-sensei, who was greeted by the students from special ability after returning from a time trip who knows when.

"Thanks, Koko... "she smiled and walked away, her eyes turned cold while thinking to herself,

'Another chess piece moved- check'

Then, with the rest of the students, they head towards the assembly point, where all the students gathered for the closing ceremony.

"Congratulation Mikan~ Congratulations Hotaru~" Sophie cheerfully congratulating Mikan, followed by shoulder pat by Amy. The Special ability class won the special awards of the year while Hotaru won the newcomer awards. Everyone was busy cheering and congratulating one another, while some slowly head to their class area for cleanup.

Then, the moment came when Narumi approached Mikan, handing her a letter by her Grandfather- in which upon that, she broke to tears. Amy just look from afar as everyone surrounded her, comforting her.

After a while, they all dispersed to their own direction. Her siblings went ahead to the dormitory after she replied that she was waiting for someone. Hence, they all leave, except for Koko.

He approaches her with a solemn look. She smiled,

"Thanks again, Koko. You don't need to tell me everything. I just wanted to know, did Noda-sensei really go to the past and met a woman carrying a baby?"

Koko nodded. She continues.

"Narumi-sensei went to visit Mikan's guardian... and what's the result?"

"...she..is adopted."

"... I see" then silence filled in between them.

"What was that? What's with their conversation? And how did you... " Koko asked.

"Do you wish to know? It could be dangerous..." Amy replied.

"How dangerous? Does this affect everyone?"

"It will eventually be affecting everyone, Koko. Dangerous- I will say yes..."

"It's the truth?"

"I still remember my promise to you, Koko. I won't lie- even if you can or can't read my mind, I still won't lie."

"..."

"Koko, I don't mind. Whatever you choose, I will support it. However, don't tell anyone of what you have learned today... and once you've decided, do tell me"

"..."

"It's alright Koko. You know something, your face really frowned right now~ don't be. It will all be ok" she smiled as she pointed to herself a cheerful expression. Koko's eyes gloss over her facial expression and smile yet again.

"Yeah, alright. Woah~ I've never been this serious. Hahaha. Well, one last thing, if I know more, will I be helpful?"

Amy just nodded and smile "Yup, you will be one of our very powerful allies"

As the teachers are busy arranging for tonight's Afterparty dance, the class was, as usual hectic. Students talked and shared who will they choose as a partner for tonight's dance.

Amy sat at her table, reading a book she borrowed from the library. It's one of those books about Alice Academy history since established 100 years ago. Meanwhile, Sophie was sitting beside Hotaru, watching as she fixed one of her inventions, while quietly use her Tinkering Alice on Hotaru's invention for improvisation.

Then, Mikan appeared, plopped beside Hotaru's empty seat hugging her. Sophie asked,

"You're ok Mikan?"

"Yeah~ I'm fine. It's just that, everyone is on romance mode all over. Talking about the legend of the last dance, and who are they going to ask for a dance partner, etc... Oh! Do you have anyone in particular, Sophie?" Mikan cheerfully asked.

"Well, usually, I dance with my family member- and occasionally with Inchou and Koko. But the last dance will always be all 5 of us. This year will be the third time" Sophie smiled.

"Oh~ how nice~" Mikan nodded thoughtfully. Suddenly, a group of girl approaches Mikan and asked,

"Who are you going to dance the last dance with Mikan-chan? Could it be Ruka-Kun?"

"Huh?" Mikan puzzled. Amy, who was distracted since Mikan asked who Sophie will dance with, immediately tune out the conversation. She's already know how things will go, so she decided to ignored it and focused on her reading.

She wanted to see who was the previous elementary principal. And creepily enough, the principal have only changed twice since the Academy foundation. The first principal is a man at his late forties who retired 5 years later. And the second principal... he's the same person as the current elementary school principal. She just shivers.

'How old is this man anyway? No wonder he is so good at manipulating people. Having loads of experience will surely contribute to that' - she thought to herself as she flips the next page. Then a voice suddenly shake her off from her thoughts.

"How about you then, Amy-san?" she looked up. It was one of the girls who came here visiting this class to invite Natsume or Ruka as a dance partner. She then saw Mikan huffing at one corner, with Sophie and Inchou trying to comfort her. She then looked back at the girls before smiling,

"Yes, sorry, I was distracted. What was your question again?" - she smiled politely. Then, the other girl asked again with slightly annoyed toned,

"Geez, she's asking you who you're going to dance with. Are you a ditz or something?" Though, immediately then, she regrets saying it in an intimidating and annoyed tone as people around her started to give her a stern glare.

"Amy-san, you don't need to answer her. She's being very rude, calling you that. How about you girls get out of this class" Sumire immediately said with a very annoyed expression. She wanted to say more when a hand placed on her shoulder. It was Amy, she shook her head and smile,

"It's alright Sumire. Thank you for your concern~ And for your question, I will be dancing with my siblings for the last dance as usual."

"I-I see, sorry about my friend Amy."

"Don't be. How about you guys go back to your class, and take along those others too. It's suffocating to have this many extra students, totally unneeded right now. You will do as I say right?" She said, still smiling, though there's a slight menacing aura from her. They immediately nodded.

"Y-yes! Right away. Hey girls, let's go now" and s they all scurried away. Then, once the last of them left, she settled down on her seat, relaxed.

'Much better now~' she hummed to herself, happy that the class no longer too noisy- while ignoring the admiration she received from her classmates...
