*** Dan (Bayview )***

Life for Dan Kuso was perfect in every aspect. He was the most popular guy at Bayview Academy thanks to his number one rank in Bakugan Interspace. He passed all his subjects in school thanks to his super intelligent friend Marucho, who had volunteered to be his tutor. Dan had saved the world once or twice and some dimensions in between. He was practically known as a legend in almost all the galaxy. Yeah, his life was almost perfect for him. Almost perfect.

Why almost prefect? Well because none of the things Dan had made him happy. His fame and glory didn't mean anything if his blue haired girlfriend wasn't there to share it with him.

Runo.

Just thinking about her name made him smile. He remembered everything about her. Yes. Everything. Her light blue wavy hair, her pale skin, her blue-green eyes, heck, he even remembered her smile. He remembered every single detail no matter how small. Truth to be told, he really missed her. Not a single day passed where he didn't think of her. He guessed that meant he truly loved her. He would never let it show but without her he felt half dead. Yes, half dead. It was like he was physically alive but dead, emotionally. Without his lover, his soul mate, his... .well his everything, he felt just like a zombie..It was torture not to see his Runo.

He wasn't able to hug her or feel her lips pressed against his. To him, knowing she is there but not being able to speak with her face to face was pure torment. He understood very well that his father made the right choice when he accepted the promotion given to him by his boss. But he kept asking himself one question. Why did he and his family have to move to America when his friends and Runo were in Japan? He hated that the only contact he had with his lover was through letters or by video phone he could not even see her in Bakugan Interspace because of Tigrera retiring from brawling and Runo would never replace Tigrera. Her loyalty to her Bakugan seemed so complex for a 16 1/ 2 teenage boy to understand. But he did. Even he would have done the same thing if Drago had retired. But then again, couldn't he just stay at Marucho's home? No, his parents had told him that he needed to be with his family- but they didn't understand that to Dan, his friends are his family. Japan was his home, the place he grew up in and… the very place he met his friends; Shun, Marucho , Julie, Alice and… Runo.

But his parents still argued. They even said that he would make new friends, which was true. He met Jake. Okay, Jake was a great guy but he was not them (his friends). And most importantly he was not Runo. All though Dan's parents had won the little battle they had, he later found out that one of his friends would live in Bayview too. He secretly hoped it would be Runo but his hopes faded as he saw Julie move in. Not that he wasn't happy about Julie's arrival… it' that, he actually thought it would be…Runo.

Days went slowly for Dan. The days turned to weeks and weeks turned to months. But Dan wasn't alone. His feelings were also being experienced by a light blue haired girl. Who? Well it was none other than Runo. Runo Misaki.

*** Runo (Wordington )***

Runo felt gloomy yet again as she cleaned the tables in her parent's café. It seemed like she always felt gloomy or blue since her boyfriend left for America. She would always be sad, no one could get her to cheer up at least for a few minutes. Not even

Alice, her best friend could make her smile.

It seemed as if Runo's life had been taken away from her- just like her boyfriend. Life seemed dreadful for her now. Sure she was still the honorary student in her class and all her teachers adored her and almost every boy she knew drooled over her but nothing seemed good enough anymore for the fifteen year old girl. Without her boyfriend Dan, she felt as if the whole world had collapsed on her. She kept writing to him every day but she was sure he got the letters really late because of the distance between them. He even sent her presents every now and then. Phone calls would be occasional but it never gave her the same feeling as when she was actually with him face to face.

As down hearted as Runo was, she knew that no ocean, no land and absolutely no distance would truly separate them because they loved each other deeply and their love would never die. Its flame just kept getting bigger and bigger. What was the saying? Oh yeah , "The heart grows founder by distance" or "You never know what you have until it's out of reach" Well, now she knew that those sayings were true. Oh how she longed to hear Dan speak, to hear his laughter that sent welcomed shivers down her spine, to see; his goofy grin, his light chocolate brown reddish eyes, to experience his; courage, his bravery and his constant will to put others needs before his own. She could go on and on but what she really missed most was… just… having him near her. She remeberd the days he would wrap his arms around her, press his lips against hers, tell her that she was the only one he loved and nothing could ever come between them. Nothing.

All those were distant memories now. Every day, she would cry herself to sleep. Her parents thought she was over reacting but little did they know that to Runo, her feelings towards Dan weren't just a teenage crush. And his departure left a huge scar on her heart.

Like every other night, Runo lay on her bed, crying as she hugged a stuffed teddy bear Dan had sent her three months ago. It was a night before her birthday and the thought of a surprise had completely never occurred to her. But little did she know…

Next day (Runo 's birthday)

Runo woke up late as usual. She brushed her teeth, took a quick shower and dressed up. As she was dressing up, her eyes accidentally landed on the calendar that was put up right next to her wardrobe. She realized that it was Saturday. Perfect. And to

think she was worried. Today was her day off. For some reason she looked up the date and her eyes widened in shock.

It was her birthday!

It was the day she turned sixteen. Most teenage girls would love this day but to her it really did not matter. How could she enjoy it when she was going to spend it without Dan. Runo was going to change her clothes and pick something that actually represented her mood- BLACK. But sadly her thoughts were immediately cut off when she heard her mum's voice outside her door.

"Runo, sweetie? Are you up yet?" Mrs. Misaki asked as she opened Runo's bedroom door. Runo smiled at her mother and replied,

"Yeah mum. I'm up. I' ll be down in a minute."

"Breakfast is ready. And guess what, I've made you a little surprise! Today is a special day for my special little girl after all." Stated Mrs. Misaki with so much enthusiasm one could clearly compare her to Julie.

Runo resisted the urge to say, "There 's nothing special today ." Instead she just smiled and gave out one of her fake laughs. Mrs. Misaki's enthusiasm dimmed as she heard her daughter's laughter. It was the one she always put up to let people think she's happy when in reality, she was not. For some reason, Runo had developed it when Dan moved to the U.S.

"Well uh… you better hurry before it gets cold. Oh and I almost forgot. You got mail." Stated Mrs. Misaki as she too faked a smile. She handed Runo a letter as well as a medium sized package before darting out of the room. Runo looked at the items in her hands curiously before opening it. She wasn't expecting any mail that day. She started to open up the letter and she immediately smiled as she realized the name of the sender.

Dan.

She sat down on her bed and fully opened up the letter:

Dear Kid,

Ha ha you can't hit me XD. How are you? Well, I'm fine… oh who am I kiddin? I miss you a lot! You know since I returned from the war I can't stop thinking about you. I miss you so much! I know this will sound corny but I miss your smile, your laughter, your light blue soft silky hair, you green- blue eyes and… your short temper hehe. And, let's keep this a secret. You wanna know what I miss the most? Well, I miss you lips, your taste. I still remember that last kiss we shared back at the airport before I left.

Runo let out a tiny laugh as the memory flashed inside her mind.

Any who, I wanna wish you a happy birthday. I know it not 'today ' (I mean the date I wrote this cheesy letter) but according to my calculations. It has arrived just in time. Yes, I did the math. Oh, and did you know Shun plans to move here. He said it had something to do with his grandpa expanding their family business Or something like that...

"Great, another friend is planning to leave me!" Runo said out loud to no one in particular.

"Never mind, I' ll kill him for not telling me later. " She thought as she let out a sigh.

Everyone back here wishes you a happy birthday (as in, me, mom, dad and Julie). Jake says congrats too. I know you two haven't met but I've told him so much about you he could practically write a book XD I don't have much to say here except, I love you and… check out the package I sent you! I'm sure you'll like it.

See ya!

Runo couldn 't help but smile at what Dan had done for her. They were miles apart yet he still remembered to send her a gift on her birthday. She opened up the package only to see a snow globe, a necklace and two roses (a red one and a white one). Runo knew the roses were plastic but it was okay with her. Real roses would have withered away before they even got to her. Plus, it's not like she could complain. In a way, the flowers looked so life like she wondered how much he could have spent for them. Runo was overjoyed at the sight of the snow globe. Not because of the fact she got a new snow globe but because of what was inside. Right in the center, was a miniature statue of a blue haired woman wearing a white dress with a red ribbion in her waist and a brown. haired guy in a tuxedo, holding on to each other as if they were waltzing. If you shook the globe not only would you disrupt the snow but you would also cause the mini statues inside to start dancing . Underneath the snow globe, was a little note that seemed to be written down in a hurry.

So, did you like it? Good! I knew you would. Personally, I thought they were like us (the Snow Globe that is). I'm guessing you' re kinda puzzled by the roses. Well, let me explain: The red one represents the strength of our love. It means that our love is strong and it will never burn out. And the white one represents the purity our love. There is no evil in it… (I forgot what Julie told me to write but you get the point right?) Oh and the necklace, I found it and bought it for you. It kinda reminded me of you. It may have been pretty but let 's face it. It's not as beautiful as you. (I'm being corny again right XD) Anyway, I gotta go now. I'm being chased by a hoard of crazy witches!

Dan. ^-^

Crazy witches. Runo laughed at the nickname Dan had managed to give his fan girls. The fact that Dan was honest and always told/ wrote her about his unpleasant encounters with them made her trust him even more. His relation with his fan girls wasn't one that would make her jealous.

P.S. I love you Runo. And… uh… be careful with those 'dogs' (if any of them try to lay a finger on you I will…)

See ya!

"Dogs." She said as a smile adorned her face. Like his fan girls, Dan had also managed to nick-name Runo's fan boys. Their relationship couldn't get any better.

"I love you too, Dan." She whispered as she put the gift back into the parcel. She couldn' t help but laugh at Dan's childishness. He was 16 goin on 17 but he still acted like he was 10. She placed her gift and letter on her bed before hurrying out of her room much happier than when she had woken up she returend quickly after realizing something. She quickly put on the neckless and put the one of the roses in her hair since her hair was in a low side ponytail it fit her prefectly. She out the other rose in her pocket and then out the snow globe in her nightstand.

"Maybe today isn't going to be so horrible." Thought Runo as she made her way downstairs.

"Look princess. Your mom and I got you this. " Said Runo's father as he handed her an envelop. He was the first one to spot her as she got into the living room.

"Thanks Mom, Dad" Runo said as she hugged them.

"Uhm… Your welcome." They said in unison. They were both shocked that Runo was actually happy. Then it dawned on them. The things she had received had probably been from Dan. Once they realized this they hugged her back and smiled too.

Runo was about to open the envelop when she spoted gift on the table one from each of her firends, and for the first time in months, Runo was actually happy.

She got a friendship bracelet from Alice. She also got a new outfit that fit both her personality and her taste. She was surprised that Alice could have chosen such a thing. From Shun, she got a sorry letter (because he was moving away) and a picture frame of her and him that read Siblings till the end.

"Shun was forced to do this." She thought. Because she knew that never in a million years would Shun, the cool ninja do such a thing.

She smiled as she imagined what would occour if they were actually here she would proubably give him a mockingly smile at him and he would just roll his eyes. But then he later gave in with one of his famouse smirks.

On the other hand Marucho got her a new laptop. The note said that it hadn't even got out into stores yet and she would be the first ever person to use it. Julie got her another friendship braclet and a make up set she rolled her eyes at her present.

Runo thought that was it until she remembered about the envelop her parents had given her earlier on. Without hesitation opened it. She gasped. In there, were three airline tickets. One for her and the other two were for her parents to Bayview. She laughed and hugged them while tears of joy streamed down her face. She had a mixture of emotions at the time but she didn't care.

"Thanks you so much! You guys are the best parents in the whole world! I could never have asked for more! I don't think I'd ever be able to repay you." She said as she still hugged them.

"No need to worry princess. We just wanted to see you smile again." Her father said.

"Now Runo dear, we better have breakfast fast. The plane leaves in a few hours so we'll need to start packing as soon as possible." Runo's mother said as she led the way to the dining room.

Runo nodded and quickly went after her mother and father. She knew that after breakfast, she'd have to go get packed and then….say good bye to her home for know. This truly was the best birthday ever.

*** Dan (Bayview )***

"And the winner yet again is Dan Kuso of The Battle Brawlers" Said the announcer. Loud cheering noises were heard after he finished his statement.

"We did it buddy." He told his guardian Bakugan as he popped up on his shoulder.

"Yeah, you don't seem too in to it today Dan. Does it have something to with Runo." Drago asked.

"You're right. I' m not so in the mood today. And yeah, you're right it's Runo. She's always in my mind Drago." Dan would have lied but what was the use?

"It's alright Dan I know how you feel. " Drago said. Dan knew he was thinking of Wavern by his tone but didn't say anything as he let his friend take a walk down memory lane. Their thoughts were immediately interrupted by someone calling Dan's name.

"Dan! Dan!" It was Marucho .

"Yeah Marucho what's up" Dan asked.

"I have great news." He said while smiling.

"Yeah. What is it?" Dan asked. He wasn't interested in the least bit because to him nothing could be great without Runo.

"Um well Runo-" Marucho started but was immediately cut off by Dan.

"Runo? What is it? Did something happen? What's wrong?" Dan asked while shaking the younger brawlers shoulders.

"Nothing is wrong Dan. On the contrary it's great news. Runo plans to visit Bayview. And if my sources are right , she'll be arriving tomorrow."

It took a few seconds for Marucho's words to sink in. And when they did, the short blond found himself wrapped in an enormous rib crushing hug.

"Thanks Marucho!" Dan yelled as he Ieft interspace. He quickly went home and… prepared. Finally he was going to see Runo. His Runo, His Girl, His everything.

***Runo ***

As soon as Runo and her parents arrived to the airport she felt anxiety build up in her. Finally after months she will be seeing Dan. She also felt like something really bad was going to happen but Runo being who she is, ignored it. When they got seated it started raining. She thought nothing of it and started thinking of how life in Bayview would be like. Suddenly she fell asleep...

"Passengers please fasten your seat belts. Please be prepared for an emergency landing." Said the announcer, completely pulling Runo out of her slumber. She did as she was told. Suddenly… they hit something and everything went black.

***Dan***

Dan woke up panting like crazy and completely covered in sweat..He felt like something had happened and it was definitely not good.

"Dan, is something wrong?" said Drago

"I had a dream… it was about Runo. She… She… the plane…" Dan replied in between breaths.

"Don't worry, it was probably just a nightmare. I'm sure Runo is fine. Just go back to sleep." Drago said.

"Yeah I guess you are right" He stated. Even though he lay down on his bed, something told him his dream was not a just a nightmare. He woke up earlier than he normally did and for some reason he felt compelled to turn on the news. As he did, he gasped.

There, in the T.V screen was the image of the airplane which was said to have crashed the previous night.

"We are here in Hudson bay in New York to report that there has been a Plane crash. The plane was destined to go from Japan to California in the town of Bayview." Stated the reporter.

He stood there, frozen in place. Surely it couldn't have been Runo was in. He started panicking. When the announcer said the flight's name, he nearly fainted. He knew for a fact that it was Runo's flight. He fought back tears while he listened.

"Many people are injured. Some have died and others are in unstable condition. If you have a love one please contact…" Dan froze in place.

Oh God please let Runo be well. He kept panicking while the words: 'Plane crash' were echoing in his mind.

So did you like it plz tell us. Any who updates will be slow because of time zones and school so anywho bye.
