"Wow Alice, I can't believe it's been years since we've actually got to see each other in person. Kinda feels weird in a good way." Runo said happily taking a seat on the couch. Runo had decided to take a break from the brawlers and go visit her good friend Alice in Russia.
"I'm glad you could make it here Runo." Alice said in her calm peaceful tone of voice. She took a seat across of from Runo and placed the plate of tea on the center table. It was cold in Russia especially during the winter. So the girls decided to spend the first day of being together again by having tea over a nice warm fire in the quiet cabin.
Runo couldn't help but stare at her dear friend. She began to reminisce about the good old days and how they had so much fun helping her parents run the diner. Alice was one of the older figures of the original brawlers so she always looked up to her. The 19 year had evolved over the years, her orange flowing hair had gotten a little longer and her beauty was something she herself thought she couldn't compare too. Alice was the definition of beauty, no wonder she always envied her when guy gocked at her at the waitressing job.
But yet, something felt different about Alice that Runo just couldn't put her finger on. Had she gotten taller? Maybe? No, that wasn't it. Runo crossed her legs as she continued to look at Alice as she too sipped her tea. Alice was now gazing at the chimney staring at the fire's flames.
I just can't figure it out! Why in the world do feel as if Alice is different somehow? Maybe she's trying some new conditioner?" As Runo kept her eyes on the women in front of her, she couldn't help but notice how the flames lights complemented her skin tone. Alice's brown eys shine with the reflection of the flames Once again Runo began to get lost in envy of her beauty, it wasn't long before she had broken from it.
It was that moment that Runo had finally figured out what was up. When Alice had raised her left hand to face level with the tiny plate and cup of tea on top of it, she cound.t help but notice a small diamond shiny from her left ring finger. Runo gasped, almost dropping her tea.
Is… is that what I think it is?
Runo?
"Runo!"
"Huh?" Runo snapped out it and glanced at Alice. "What is it?"
"You dazed out on me again tonight. I was asking how your new bakugan Aerogan was doing." Alice giggled setting her tea on the table.
"Yeah, yeah, he's fine." Runo said not taking her eyes off her as she set the tea cup on the table. "Alice?"
"Hm? What is it?" '
"That ring on your finger." Runo sat up a bit "Where did you get it? And why is it on that finger."
"Oh!" Alice look at the ring on her left hand "Well….you see…."
"Alice! Are you… engaged?"
Alice kept her head down as a deep blush appeared on her face. Her right hand now cupped the hand that held the ring. "Um…yes."
"Oh wow! Hahahaha!" Runo got up in excitement in went over to hug her best friend. "Wow this is amazing! When wre you going to tell me! Your ring is so beautiful! I knew something was different about, I just couldn't put my finger on it! So who's the lucky guy?"
"Um… its someone that I've been with for a while now." Alice began to twiddle her fingers.
"Wait a sec, when were you going to tell me you were even seeing someone?' Runo took her friends hand in hers.
"We wanted to keep it a secret and then there's the whole bakugan coming to earth thing and all those other events and -."
"Okay, I guess I can understand that. But who the heck have been seeing all this time?"
"Mmmmm."Alce turned away from Runo and kept silent. This only worried Runo more. The only sound heard was the sound of the fire crackling.
"Alice, what wrong? Is the guy mean or something? Is a dork, is some rich guy? Come one Alice who is it!"
Alice still refused to respond. After a moment of silene. Alice had finally made the first move: hide behind the couch.
"Uh…Alice? What are you doing." Runo anime sweat dropped at her action.
Alice took in a deep breath before speaking. "Okay, I'll tell you. But once I do you can't go around screaming and freaking out in anger. Understood?"
"Okay! Okay! I promise, now spill the beans." Runo said as crossed her arms in annoyance.
"Sigh…..okay." Alice closed her eyes as ducked behind the couch and said in a louder tone so Runo would be able to hear her. "It was a month ago Shun asked me to marry him!"
"…wait Shun? All this time….but I never even thought….Agggh!" Runo bent her head down letting her bangs cover her eyes.
Alice peeked from the couch "Runo…"
"SHUN IS SO DEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAD!"
Yay! Another story! This one is going to be one of those "I wish it happened in the actually show" storys.
