Mikan is writing to her grandpa about how different students with different stars receive different allowance. Special stars like Natsume receives 300 rabbits, 3 stars like Hotaru and Iincho receive 100 rabbits, 2 stars receive 50 rabbits, 1 star student like Kokoroyomi, Anna, and Nonoka receive 30 rabbits. How about no star? Well, 5 rabbits are good enough for them. Anyway, all of the kids then tell Mikan that they're about to go to Central Town. Mikan is clueless about the place so Hotaru tells her that Central Town is the schools own shopping mall. Iincho adds that the products sold in the town are the creation of people who have Alice ability. Hotaru then invites Mikan to come to town and Mikan immediately assumes that Hotaru is asking her out on a date. So everyone tells her that there's no date but Mikan is welcome to come with Hotaru, Iincho, and Kokoroyomi-kun.

Unfortunately for Mikan, Jin-Jin (Jinno-sensei) decides to be an ass and tells her that a no-star, trouble child like her is not allowed to go to Central Town. Thankfully for Mikan, Narumi-sensei then arrives and asks Jin-Jin to allow Mikan to go. Jin-Jin finally relents on the condition that Mikan is accompanied by her partner: Natsume. Mikan is devastated about this and has no choice but to grovel in front of Natsume, asking him to come to Central Town with her. Sumire doesn't miss the opportunity to mock Mikan telling her friend that Mikan is trying to ask Natsume out on a date. While groveling, however, Mikan is distracted by the presence of a cute 3 year old boy called Yoichi. Natsume seems to be awfully nice to the boy much to Mikan's surprise. So Ruka-pyon tells her that Yoichi is familiar with Natsume due to Yoichi being in the same group as Natsume (Kiken nouryoku-kei - students with dangerous Alices).

Mikan and Sumire immediately fight over thekid. Unfortunately for them, the brat is not as sweet as he looks. He loves calling Mikan and Sumire names ranging from idiot to ape thanks to Natsume's tutelage. Mikan, however, still insist on playing with Yoichi despite the kid's reluctance so Ruka warns her to be careful because the kid's has the ability to release evil spirits. It's a case of a little too late because Mikan and Sumire are already spooked out by then. Never the less, the tot seems to be interested to go to Central Town. So Natsume agrees to come on the condition that Mikan becomes an ice-cream seller inside the bus that takes the students to Central Town. Of course this means she gets to be abused by other students while doing her job. The pain seems to be worth it, however, because Mikan seems to love Central Town the minute she arrives at the place.

Unfortunately for Mikan, she doesn't have enough money to buy anything good in the city. For example, she's interested in a vanity mirror that can display a mirror image of her wearing different costume but that mirror costs 300 rabbits. So Hotaru and Iincho suggest that they go for soft-cream since it'll only cost Mikan 2 rabbits. On their way to get the food, however, Mikan is distracted by an apple that refuses to be eaten by anyone. Mikan tries to defend the apple's right and in doing so, setting it free. Well, it's not free for Mikan because she has to pay the store owner 5 rabbits. There goes her entire allowance. While Mikan is still in shock, Ruka, Kokoroyomi-kun, and Yoichi arrive on the scene carrying a box of Cotton Candy. Mikan, who never saw Cotton Candy before is excited to know what it is. So Rukan points her to a store selling Sweat driciaus Cotton Candy. Yup, that's not a typo on my part.

Upon hearing Ruka and Kokoroyomi-kun's explanation, Mikan wants to buy the candy as well. But unfortunately, the price is beyond her budget. One small box apparently cost 10 rabbits. Iincho offers to lend her some money but Mikan then remembers the advice of her grandpa not to borrow money from others. So Mikan tries to earn money by offering various entertainment/services on the street. After several failed attempts, she sees a successful performer on the street and decides to do something similar. Employing the help of her friends, Mikan decide to make a theatrical play of "The Little Match Girl - Mikan". Iincho provides the special effects that make it looks like the place is snowy. Meanwhile, Hotaru plays the role of the evil old lady who forces poor Mikan to sell Match stick or else she can't go back home. Anyway, the play then starts with the story started out similarly to the original version.

In brief, the story goes like this: the little match girl tries to sell a match on a cold winter day but she feels cold so she lights one of the matches to warm her body and in the process start to hallucinate and imagine nice pleasant home, etc. Halfway through Mikan's performance, however, a few mishaps happen such as Yoichi unleashing his evil spirit on Mikan. Since the whole play becomes messy by now, Mikan decides to go straight to the point and makes her character hallucinating some Cotton Candy and tells her captive audiences that she wants to eat one. Once the little match’s girl drops dead from hunger, Hotaru goes around and tries to sell a crappy stick for 1 rabbit. For some reason, everyone including Sumire and her friend love the play and decide to buy the useless stick. So Mikan gets her 10 rabbits in no time.
