Summary:

Dan and Shun are professional brawlers-the best two in the nation. But, they re also models. What happens when they have a brawl in the middle of a show?

The Bet

Dan and Shun had just finished another modeling job. "Good work, you two." Said their manager, Melanie.

"Thanks." Dan said cheerfully. Shun nodded.

"Alright, you two don t have any more jobs until tomorrow night's show. You guys can leave any time." Melanie told them.

"Sure. Later." Dan answered, getting up. Shun followed.

When the two of them were outside, Dan asked, "Why don't you ever say anything to Melanie?"

"I don't have to, do I?" Shun replied as the two started walking towards the restaurant around the corner.

"Well no, but its kinda rude not to, you know. You can at least give her one-word answers. That's better than nothing."

Shun didn't say anything. "Or maybe you re scared of talking to her?" Dan asked, a smirk on his face.

Shun glared at him. "I don't have to talk to her if I don't want to, Dan." Shun said icily.

"Oh come on," Dan said. "She isn't that bad." They were now seated at the restaurant. They had ordered cokes and burgers.

Suddenly, Dan had an idea. 'I know how we can solve this.' "Shun, do you want to make a bet?"

Shun, interested, asked, "What's it about?"

"The two of us would have a battle at tomorrow night's show. If I win, you have to start talking to Melanie. If I lose, I won't bring it up again."

Shun smirked. "You re on."

Dan and Shun's burgers had arrived and they were eating them, talking about who was the stronger bakugan.

"Of course Drago's stronger. He has the Infinity Core, and he's at the final evolution stage." Dan said, proud of Drago.

"That's not always true Dan; Skyrus is powerful as well. It'll all come down to strategy in tomorrow's battle." Shun replied.

"You two are having a battle tomorrow?" A voice asked. Dan and Shun turned to see Julie, Marucho, Runo, and Alice standing there.

"Hey guys, what's up?" Dan asked in his usual carefree tone.

"What's up?" Runo asked, getting angry. "You two are going to battle, and you say what's up?" She was almost yelling at him. Shun sighed. This happened often, but it still wasn t pleasant to hear.

"Shun and Dan are going to battle?" An excited voice exclaimed. The six brawlers looked over to Christopher with an excited look on his face. "That is SO awesome! I'll go tell everybody!" And Christopher hurriedly exited the restaurant.

"Heh, didn t see that coming." Dan commented nonchalantly, making Runo go off on him again.

"Of COURSE you should expect something like that! You two are the best brawlers in the nation, and you re going to battle each other. Hello, it s not something you see everyday." Runo said.

Dan sighed. "Fine, fine." He told Runo getting up. "I gotta get home. My mom's expecting me and Shun for dinner."

"When did she start expecting me to come over?" Shun asked, getting up.

"When she found out we were working together." Was Dan's reply. Shun smirked, but followed Dan anyway.
