Hi everyone! I have a surprise for all of you! It's a new story, but it will be posted on fictionpress.com. I'm still working on chapter one, so it's not uploaded yet. Here's my fictionpress account page: http://www.fictionpress.com/~claireponcherrii. The story is going to be based on Romeo and Juliet, except for the ending is happy (typical Claire Poncherrii ending). Please look forward to it!

Title: Orange Soda

Notes: Fine, I'll admit, this doesn't really have to do with alices... Anyways, it's about a girl called Mikan (no duh) and her close childhood friends, Hotaru, Natsume, Ruka, Yuu, and Koko. They've always been together since they were born and are always together. While Natsume, Ruka, Yuu, and Koko are the school star soccer players, Mikan and Hotaru are known as the "Opposite Princesses". Hotaru is a mature and calm figure, often mistaken for a high schooler. But Mikan is the total opposite of her best friend. Mikan is a cute and happy girl who everyone treats as a little sister, or a elementary kid. Then Chris Marks, a new American student comes, falling for Mikan. Natsume will have to tell his feelings to his long-time love, or Chris will do so before him! Natsume tries to not have Mikan think of him as an older brother, but as a "guy". While Natsume tries, Mikan tries to show Natsume that she not a little girl any more, but Natsume thinks that she's doing that to impress Chris. Hehe, I love this story because it's full of innocent love.

Sneak Preview #1: "... 'I told Mikan my feelings, Natsume," Ruka told his best friend with sadness..."

Sneak Preview #2: "... He smirked. 'Mikan is really my type of girl you know, Hyuuga.'..."

Sneak Preview #3: "...'Yay! We're here!' Mikan shouted as they arrived at the amusment park..."
