Here's another story because I feel guilty about killing Alice in Invincible. ;~;

This one is a combination of MiraxAce, a little OCxAce, OCxOC and a hint of ShunxAlice. And I might throw a tad of JuliexBilly in there if I make it longer. I'm thinking only five chapters, but it depends. I'm still not sure about it in the first place so please, please review this chapter and tell me if you think I should continue it! Because I don't wanna write something suckish that everyone hates. =/

Sorry if this plot has been used before, I tried hard to make it original. But the first chapter is really just an intro to let ya know what's going on a little bit.

Alice: I don't have to die again, do I?

Me: No. Wait...actually...I'M KIDDING! Shun get that katana away from me! *runs

Dan: *sighs I don't have a pairing in this story, because ShunandAce is a big meanie. Please protest to this horrible crime. Oh, and she owns nothing but the OCs.

Me: One more thing. Acsio, Ace and Shun are triplets. Obviously Shun looks nothing like them, but Ace and Acsio are identical. Look at my profile (on the bottom) to see Acsio's character profile, that will explain more.
Sorry that this chapter is so poorly written! I changed the writing style four times! -.- Darn my picky nature. Most of this will be in noone's PoV. I feel like I really messed up this chapter and I just can't seem to fix it, so bear with me, please.

Ages:

Shun, Ace, Acsio, Alice and Mira: 18

Dan, Julie, Billy (if I put him in), and pretty much everyone else besides the OCs: 16

Shun's PoV

The Vestals - Ace, Mira, and Baron, that is, I still don't really count myself and Acsio among them - are on Earth for two weeks. We're all taking a little break from saving the Bakugan. Baron's thrilled, of course.

When we got there, through the Dimensional Transporter of course, we met up with three more humans. They were rather odd, but seemed nice enough.

Rob isn't the brightest guy around. He's pretty strong, but really reckless and hotheaded. He doesn't play Bakugan, which is probably a good thing. He has short dark hair and eyes, and his skin is tanned thoroughly. Broad-shouldered, and pretty well muscled, but like I said, he doesn't know how to use his strength very well. He has some scars on his face and chest, it makes me wonder what they're from, but I never asked, of course. He's nineteen years old.

Narcissa is Rob's girlfriend, but she's not that into PDA, so you really can't tell much. Rob is just the opposite, he keeps trying to make a move on her, but she never notices. She's really spaced-out and quiet, and a little mad. She has a taste for torture. Her hair is raven-colored and very curly. It falls down past her shoulders, and is untamed, as she never bothers to brush it. Her eyes are a very warm brown. She's twenty-one, and the oldest in our group, but also one of the shortest.

Kyle is just...Kyle. He notices /everything./ Narcissa is attempting to train him to keep his mouth shut, but he tends to just spurt out whatever he notices, and sometimes getting others in trouble. For instance, after we'd been on Earth two days, he announced to everyone that Narcissa has a crush on Ace. Ever since, Narcissa and Mira have been engaged in a silent war, casting glares from time to time, and Mira has been clinging especially tight to the poor guy. But I'm getting off track. Kyle has really bright blue eyes, short, jet black hair that's always slicked down like it's wet, very fair skin, and quite thin. He's about six feet tall, and a complete klutz. Nobody's sure how old he is, but probably around eighteen from his appearance. He claims to be five.

No one's PoV - In the cafe

It was a slow day in the cafe, so Runo had invited the rest of the Brawlers - and their new friends - over for coffee. Everyone had shown up but Ace and Narcissa, but they were only about ten minutes late, so no one mentioned it.

Shun was sitting on a stool at the bar, as far away from the others as possible. Dan was also at the bar, talking to Baron animatedly, while the rest lounged in the booths.

Rob was the only one who noticed the absence of the others, and he watched the door closely while sipping his latte.

Twenty minutes passed. They were just talking, enjoying themselves. Rob continued to watch the door.

Everyone looked up as it pushed open finally, and a sopping wet Ace trudged in and dropped down next to Shun on a bar stool. Narcissa followed closely, it looked as though they'd walked together. Rob could feel his face growing hot in anger. It was obvious that Narcissa was crushing on Ace, the way she looked at him. But Ace didn't seem to notice a thing. Narcissa slowly walked over to the booth Rob, Mira and Kyle were in, and slipped in next to Kyle.

"Where were you?" Rob questioned suspiciously.
Narcissa didn't seem to catch his tone, she was watching a certain mint-green-haired boy with a dreamy look in her eyes. "There was a lot of traffic on the way, people trying to get out of the rain. I bumped into Ace, and he helped me get here. I hope I didn't keep anyone waiting." Her tone suggested that she didn't really care.

"Well-"

"Nah, we don't mind." Kyle cut Rob off. He had his arm behind her shoulders on the back of the booth, but Rob didn't care, he knew that Kyle was just a touchy person, he liked being close to people.

Rob also looked over at Ace, but with a glare. He tried to suppress his loathing for the boy, because it really wasn't his fault- wait, what? He stopped and listened more closely. He thought he'd just heard Narcissa's name mentioned, but he could be wrong.

"I don't know, Shun. I mean, everyone seems to think I have a thing for..." Ace's voice lowered a bit. "you know, the other girl. But I really like her. Maybe I'm moving a little too fast..." He took another sip of his black coffee. "She said she likes me, but how do I know it's like that? Girls are so confusing. And I think she's dating someone...not that it will stop me if she is. I'm not afraid of a little competition."

Shun muttered something unintelligible and they both smirked to themselves.
Rob pondered that for a moment. The other girl...who could he mean? He glanced across the table at Mira, who had overheard as well, it seemed, and looked a little hurt and disappointed. Mira...so who was he talking about? Then it hit him. His eyes snapped back to his girlfriend, who was oblivious to the conversation, zoned out in her thoughts as usual.
He's dead meat.

And I stop here. Short, I know, but like I said, it's just an intro, not an actual chapter. I know it's suckish! The intro always is for me. I don't know why, I can just never do it right. I'm not even sure if I'm going to do this story. I hope it isn't as confusing as I feel. XD Anyway, please please please review and tell me if I should continue it. Constructive crit would be appreciated. o.e
