When you thought of Alice Gehabich, you would immediately think of her bright smile, her orange hair cascading down to her back, her warm chocolate brown eyes, and her small, petite body. She was sweet and caring, the closest thing to an angel, technically, heaven on earth. She never was one to fight, but more of a peacemaker. She never wanted to brawl, not one to be competitive. She was never one to wear clothes that were revealing *cough JULIE cough*, never one to be as tomboyish like Runo and Mira, but more of a girl who wore conservative clothes and was more of a working girl, who would cook and clean. That was Alice.

But one day of the summer she was nineteen, she changed. As she walked into the Misakis' Cafe, she looked around and saw all eyes on her. It was nothing new, boys stared at her all the time but this time, she knew that they were staring at her for another reason that was not admiration. She ignored the feeling and looked at her friends. Dan's mouth was hanging open, Julie stared at her with wide eyes, Marucho was stammering, and Runo didn't even look at her. Alice didn't blame her. They had a bit of a spite last night and Runo felt defeated. The blue haired girl sighed and the Russian girl kept her head down, trying to avoid them.

For the whole day, all of the boys stayed away from her and none of her friends were even near her, not even Runo. The only person who talked to her normally was Dan, who made jokes and bragged to her about his wins with Drago. He made her laugh and didn't mention anything that was off about her, making the girl feel more appreciative towards her friend.

"Alice...c-could you buy some groceries, please? There's a list in the basket." Alice looked to find Ms. Misaki with a basket in hand, a bit of a shocked and afraid look on her face.

The Russian girl forced a small smile. "Of course, Ms. Misaki. I'll be right back." She took the basket from Runo's mother's hand and walked out the door, head down, only to bump into someone. Looking up, she saw his hazel eyes and her blue eyes. His eyes, which usually showed no emotion, now looked worried and confused. Her eyes had a somewhat of a scowl, a bored expression, if you will.

"Sorry." The girl mumbled as she held her head down once again.

"It's...fine." The male replied, stepping aside, as she walked out to buy groceries.

Alice sighed as she sat on a park bench, near the very same fountain that he once battled against Komba. She knew that it was a long shot that he would show up, but a part of her was still hopeful. Hopeful that he would be there.

"Alice..." She looked up and was staring into his hazel eyes.

"Sh-Shun..." She barely spoke his name.

"You know what I'm going to ask." Shun crossed his arms, a scowl on his face but his eyes told a different story. They told her that he was worried about her.

"No, I don't know."

"Why did you do it, Alice?"

"Because you loved Fabia..."

Note: This is my first Bakugan fanfiction and I'm sorry if anything or anyone seemed to be out of character, since I haven't seen this in almost three years. Should I continue? Please review!
