Hello and thank you for your help. Here is a brief summary of my soon to be published story –
Runo has begun to have doubts about Dan's feelings for her. She knows Mira is beginning or already likes Dan. Could Dan feel the same? Runo decides that the best course of action is to break it off with Dan for his and her own sake. Then when someone comes to visit, emotions run ramped, misunderstandings flourish, and feelings concealed.
It is obvious a Dan and Runo fanfic, but it also has some Dan and Mira hints and maybe some of my original character with other characters. It is at least 6 chapters long I belive. I am still in the process of writing it, but I have the whole story line laid out and have already made progress in getting it written.
What I would like from you is a scene in which Runo breaks up with Dan due to her doubts about his feelings for. Runo in my story is more insecure that she seems in the show. Though I feel Runo is generally an insecure person who covers it up but being outwardly loud, violent, and a little rude. I am hoping for this break up scene that Runo talks, not allowing Dan to have his say, and neither fights it. Runo in the end runs away and this is a portion I have already written. Ideas, and just words that you think would fit what I am going for are just fine as well. Also please do not just restrict your comments and words to fit my idea, I would like to hear your own opinions and ideas as well. I don't expect anyone to write a full out scene. If you want to do that thought feel free.
Here is a preview of my fanfic, so that you can get a general idea of it:
"Hey Runo, can I talk to you for a minute?" asked the chestnut brown haired boy, nervously rubbing the back of his head.
"Sure," answered Runo puzzled as she followed him out into the all of their mutual friend's mansion.
"Runo…" the boy trailed off, keeping his eyes anywhere but on the girl in front of him.
"Yes Dan?" Runo urged the brown-haired boy. She was confused as to why his sudden nervousness when mere seconds ago he was literally rubbing their noses in the scoreboard. Good thing Marucho has a top notch cleaning staff otherwise that might have been disgusting.
"No offence…" Dan said gearing up for an angry outburst that was so typical of the blue haired girl. "But you can't brawl the Vexos." Dan noticed the anger growing behind Runo's mint eyes, contained only by her profusely biting on her lip. However, Dan continued, determined, "I mean they're really tough and you have never faced their mechanical bakugan. Even Shun had serious trouble. Plus you haven't brawled in awhile; you wouldn't know what to do." Dan was babbling and he knew it, but he couldn't stop. In an almost inaudible whisper, he could finally get the words out, "You just aren't strong enough."
By the expression on Runo's face you could tell she heard it though, and she wasn't happy. Her face contorted in a mix of astonishment and anger, and unnoticed by Dan hurt. The inevitable outburst pushed passed the only line of defense, the bitten lip. Gasping Runo cried, "I don't believe you Dan Kuso."
"Runo please, don't blow this way out of proportion." Dan pleaded, placing his hands together. His eyes flashed with a look of desperation that had no effect on the increasingly agitated girl in front of him.
"It's just that," Dan began before Runo proceeded to cut him off with, "You think I'm a lousy brawler." Runo countered frustrated, but more than anything upset. Crossing her arm, Runo took a forceful step towards Dan, causing him to stand up straight. "You've got some nerve," she said to a now sheepish Dan. Runo's head was spinning, she couldn't tell what or how she was feeling. The boy that she loved, the one who she thought at least cared for her, stood there and told her that the one thing that she felt confident of her skill in, was something that she wasn't good at it. All Runo knew right then, was that, at the moment, she needed to get out. She needed to get away, away from the one person whom it pained her to be separated from.
"Hey Mira come with us!" Dan shouted, signaling for the orange haired girl to follow.
"Did you do something with your hair?" Runo inquired.
"You noticed," Mira responded, surprised, that someone had noticed the subtle change in her hairstyle. "Actually I'm hoping Dan notices too," Mira admitted.
Runo shocked at Mira's comment and stumbling with words to respond, was only able to utter a quick, "I'm sure he will."
The vivid memories were carved into her memory. They were consuming all of Runo's thoughts. The voices in her memories seemed to be screaming, if only in her mind. Runo could only think to drown out the memories by turning up the volume on her CD player. The lyrics of the songs oozed into her ears through her headphones, consuming her thoughts in place of the memories.
One night and one more time
Thanks for the memories
even though they weren't so great
"He tastes like you only sweeter"
One night, yeah, and one more time
Thanks for the memories, thanks for the memories
"He, he tastes like you only sweeter"
Been looking forward to the future
But my eyesight is going bad
And this crystal ball
It's always cloudy except for
When you look into the past
One night stand
Runo groaned even her music echoed the thoughts brought on by the memories, which had been haunting her since Mira's return. It was only natural. Dan went away, voluntarily leaving her behind. Getting fed up from waiting and wondering, Runo takes action. This only causes Dan more trouble. Then when he follows her back to earth; a new girl he met during their time apart, spaciously speaking, mind you, is right behind him. Not to mention how more mature and beautiful Mira is. With the dimension controller temporarily out of order, Mira stays at Dan's house. Making matters more uncomfortable, she works at her father's café, gathering more stares than she, herself ever could.
Dan had broken free from a technologically advanced shield to catch Mira before she returned to New Vestroia with to join the Vexos. When he couldn't get to her in time, he decided to leave again, without Runo again. When he eventually comes back, succeeding in what he set out to do, Runo expected everything to go back to the way it was or evolve. She was only kidding herself though.
Mira returned suddenly, taking Dan away again. They're back, along with Marucho, Shun, Ace, and Baron, but Dan continues to show Mira more respect than his own so-called-by-her, Runo, girlfriend. In addition, he remains and is becoming increasingly more distant towards her. Did she also mention how Dan generally denies that she is his girlfriend?
Runo knows that she will always come in a close second to Drago in Dan's heart, but now she is beginning to even doubt that second place position. Runo understood Dan and Drago's relationship, she had a similar one with her own bakugan, Tigrerra, but at the same time she wished they were at least even in Dan's heart. Dan had lost Drago twice and both times, though more so for the second, Dan barely functioned. He had almost lost her and left her willingly and no one especially her had seen him act very much affected by the separation. She was not saying that Dan did not care for her and that she wasn't in his heart. Dan cares deeply for all of his friends. Runo just thought she might be special. One thing Runo had little doubt about is that Dan had once felt something more than friendship for her. Dan feelings for her had just degraded as he got to know Mira. It is because he still cares for Runo, even if it is just as a friend that he may still be with her and not with Mira. She has known Dan long enough to know that he does not like to put anyone through unnecessary pain or stress. Coming to this realization and knowing she doesn't want to cause Dan any unnecessary pain either, Runo knew what she had to do.
So again, I would like you to write a scene where Runo breaks up with Dan because of the doubts she has about his feelings. I have written the ending of the break up, after she finishes telling Dan it is done between them. I would prefer it to be a I will either use yours or use all yours to influence my own. I would be eternally grateful if you were to do this for me. Also I know this may be a lot to ask for so I hope none of you feel inclined to do it. Feel free to just review it and leave your general thoughts.
Please and Thank you again,
Betty-Davis-Eyes
