The Bakugan Wizard
By: Aubrie1234
Dear Readers, the second chapter of this great story! Anyway, since I haven't watched much of anything beyond season 2, I'm using Bakugan Wiki to help with the outfits, and I might make up some of them, so if I don't do something right, tell me, please. Also, I saw that Julie is now a news reporter for Bakugan City, but since that doesn't exist in this world, I changed it to Bayview, and set them back during Harry Potter's years so that this story would work; I also have some OCs as well, but they are mine (as far as I know)!
After he hung up, Billy got to work unpacking his trunk. Once all the clothes from both his trunk and his suitcase were hung up in the wardrobe, he hung up his picture of Dumbledore's Army, which he was in, and he hung the wizard posters on the walls (well, he couldn't have left his home in Britain without a few souvenirs, now could he?). He had three posters in total: One for the England National Quidditch Team, one for the Japanese National Quidditch Team, and one for the Australian National Quidditch Team. All of the posters had the players of each team from 1994 and, like any normal wizard poster, the pictures moved, along with the picture of Dumbledore's Army.
Billy, like most wizards, was a big fan of Quidditch; in fact, he used to play Keeper on his old team at Hogwarts, ever since his third year. He loved those old days, but since he was now an Auror, he didn't really have a chance to play the game any more, and he didn't have any of the supplies for it, either. All that was left from his Quidditch days were a smaller version of the banister showing the house and the house colors, his broom (an Air Wave Gold), and a few of the flags that the spectators flew to support the team. In fact, when Billy had been in Hogwarts, he had been sorted into Hufflepuff for his loyalty, and even though that other houses didn't think much of Hufflepuffs, they were proven wrong when dealing with him on the Quidditch field. Billy was a good Keeper and made sure that most Qwaffle shots didn't get past him. Ron, when he got onto the Gryffindor Quidditch team, was just as good, which made for good competition between the two houses during Quidditch, even though it was just for that school year.
Anyway, Billy put his broomstick and its servicing kit in the corner on the other side of the wardrobe and he hung up the banister and flags. He checked the rest of his stuff and was satisfied that everything was where he wanted it, except for a few Muggle things. He took out a dog-bed from the trunk and laid it on the floor of his room, where Hynoid instantly claimed it; Billy then closed said trunk and laid Atmos' cage on top before pulling out a laptop from his suitcase, laying it on the desk. The food for Atmos and Hynoid was already unpacked, right after he had gotten there, and it was in the cupboards downstairs. Billy knew that he would also have to go shopping soon, since none of his houses had ready food in them except for nonperishable food. When he had to leave, however, he would have to get rid of all the perishable food, since he didn't want anyone to just get to this house out of the blue and claim it as theirs, though someone owned it.
Suddenly, the doorbell rang. Billy looked out the window to see Julie there, and he was a bit surprised that she had come so early. Atmos instantly recognized her and flew down to meet her while Hynoid trotted out of the room, probably going downstairs. When Atmos came closer, Julie looked up and smiled, holding out a glove-covered hand (she knew how to handle Atmos after all the times they had met). Atmos landed on it and gave her hair a friendly nibble, to which she giggled.
"Hey, Julie!" Billy called, "I'll be down in a second, okay?"
"Right!" she called back. Billy left the window, leaving it open in case Atmos decided to fly back up and through the window. As he closed his door, however, he brought out his ash wand once again and cast Colloportus on his door before hiding the wand; he didn't want Julie to enter his room by accident, since she probably didn't know about wizard magic. He then made his way downstairs and to the front door, opening it.
"Great to see you again." Billy said as she came inside. Atmos then flew from her and and perched on the couch while Hynoid barked happily, "By the way, this is Hynoid." Julie pat the Crup on the head.
"He's cute!" she said. Hynoid was kind of cute, in a way; he was white with a few brown and black spots on his back and his face and had dark brown eyes, but there was no sign of where Billy had severed Hynoid's second tail. As for Julie, she hadn't changed much. Her hair was still in the ponytail made by her brown scrunchie, and she wore a black tank top underneath a pink short-sleeved jacket, a pink and white watch on her right wrist, white shorts, and her white boots.
"Where's Cycloid?" Billy asked.
"Right here, in my pocket." Julie said, sticking her hand into one of her shorts' pockets. She then pulled out two brown marble-like balls, one of which opened to reveal Cycloid. The other was Hammer Gorem.
"Boss! Great to see you!" Cycloid said as Billy picked him off of Julie's hand.
"You too, Cycloid." he then held the bakugan down to Hynoid's level, "And this is my new pet, Hynoid."
"Nice to meet you, Hynoid!" Hynoid barked in response.
"Hello, Hynoid." Gorem said, and Hynoid barked to him as well.
"What type of dog is Hynoid, anyway?" Julie asked.
"A Jack Russell Terrier." Billy lied. He couldn't tell them what type of dog Hynoid really was, but only what dog breed Hynoid looked the most like.
"Well, that's a cool breed for him! How long have you had him?"
"A little over a year. I got him shortly after my 17th birthday." Billy said, though this was no lie, "He's pretty loyal and friendly, but there are some people he doesn't like."
"Well, now that you're on vacation, boss, what are you going to do?" Cycloid asked. Billy shrugged.
"I don't know. I'm coming for the reunion, that's for sure, but I don't know what else I want to do."
"We could go shopping together!" Julie suggested. This made Billy pale, remembering her version of 'shopping.'
"No way, BakuBabe! I'm not going through that again!"
"Stop calling me BakuBabe!" Julie said, then sighed, "But I really wanted to do at least something with you, so we could get caught up on where you've been."
"Now's as good a time as any." Billy said, gesturing toward the couch. Julie smiled and, while putting Gorem on her shoulder, went over to the couch, avoiding Atmos' talons while she sat. Billy moved Cycloid to his shoulder as well while he sat beside her and Hynoid climbed onto their laps.
"I'll tell you what I can, Julie, but there are somethings I can't tell you." Billy sighed, "Traveling and such during the entire last year takes a lot out of a guy. What have you been doing since I've been gone?"
"Well, I'm now a news reporter for Bayview." she said, "The stories aren't always exciting, but it's a good paid job. Gorem and Cycloid help out a lot, too."
"That's good." Billy said, "I've seen all kinds of things while I've traveled, like lions, komodo dragons, monkeys..." Billy had seen all of these animals while he was on the run, but he didn't mention that part.
"That sounds great, Billy." Gorem said.
"You should have seen some of the architecture." Billy continued excitedly, "I saw the Eiffel Tower, the Leaning Tower of Pisa, and the Taj Mahal. It was great!" He had also seen these places and they were also great hiding spots while he was hiding out from Voldemort, but he didn't mention that part, either.
"Wow! I wish I could have come with you, boss!" Cycloid said, "And why didn't you come see us at all?"
"Well, I couldn't." Billy sighed, "I was busy, and I was doing a few jobs, and this is the first free time I've had since then. I only got my first permanent job a few months ago, and during the time I was traveling, I couldn't get into contact with you guys at all or visit." He left off there, leaving them to imagine why he couldn't talk to them at all last year.
"And anyway," he continued after a few silent minutes, "Should I bring anything to the reunion?"
"Well," Julie thought for a moment, "You're bringing Hynoid and Atmos, right?" Billy nodded, "So, well, you could bring a few drinks and some food."
"I don't really think I can." Billy said, "I don't have any food or drinks in the house at the moment, since I just got here."
"Well, I guess Hynoid and Atmos would be enough, then." Billy nodded at her words.
"Alright; they'd love meeting some new people, especially Hynoid."
"And, since you have no food right now, why don't we go on a shopping spree?" Billy groaned.
"Okay, but no clothes!" Julie rolled her eyes.
"Oh, fine!" she huffed, "We'll just some food." He silently cheered, having gotten out of shopping clothes.
"Ugh, how did you talk me into this again?" Billy groaned, having to carry all the grocery bags.
"It's your fault for not having any food at your house." Julie said.
"Sorry, boss, but she's right." Cycloid said (he was now on her shoulder, in case his extra weight, though however tiny, accidentally toppled Billy over), "Plus, when we got there, you offered to carry all the bags for her."
Dang my protectiveness! Billy cursed himself in his head, also cursing himself to forget that he couldn't use magic in front of Muggles, since he had to go shopping with Julie. They had gotten there in Julie's car and now they were walking back to it; along the way, a few men gave him empathetic looks, having to have gone through all that before themselves, and Billy continued to think, No offense, but at least I'm not married yet, thank goodness.
"Julie, I think you should help him before he sprains a wrist." Gorem whispered to her. She glanced back and sighed.
"You're right, I know," she whispered back, "But if I try, he'll be too stubborn to let me." Gorem thought about it, then nodded.
"Yes, he won't." he sighed.
Soon, they made it to the car (to the relief of Billy) and when they got to his house, she helped him unload and place the food in the correct places.
"What are you going to do with all of this when you go back?" she asked.
"Well, unless any of you guys want it, I would throw all this away."
"I'm sure Dan and Runo wouldn't mind the pudding and pasta." she said, "Lync and Alice could take the dairy, especially the yogurt, and Shadow has a weird fascination with bread..." Billy laughed.
"Okay, I get it. Are any of them married?"
"No, except for Klaus. They're all boyfriend/girlfriend, though. Dan has Runo, Joe has Chan Lee, Lync has Alice, Shadow has Mylene, and Ace has Mira."
"Speaking of Klaus, does he have any children yet?"
"Well, for one thing, his wife is named Bella Siuyuan, Japanese, and they do have two children: Thomas and Klara, twins, and they're both 2 years old. I haven't seen them, but Klaus seems happy."
"When did they marry?"
"Shortly after Klaus met Ace, on one of his trips to Japan and while visiting Runo. As far as I know, he met her while he and Runo were at a mall and he instantly fell for her. You can tell what happened next." Billy nodded.
"Oh yeah. So, Thomas and Klara?"
"I've heard from Klaus, who seems happy, that Thomas takes after his mother while Klara takes after Klaus."
"What does Bella look like?"
"She has dark brown hair, almost black, brown eyes, and she wears regular clothes, like jeans and a T-shirt." Billy thought about it.
"So, if the two kids were also brought to the reunion, Klara would probably have blue hair, like Klaus, and Thomas would have dark hair, like Bella." Julie nodded.
"Yeah, and they are coming to the reunion. I'm sure that they would like to meet your pets." she glanced at her watch, "Hm... I still have a bit of time before I have to go to my job. Anything else you want to do?" Billy shook his head.
"No, and I'll be fine." he said, "You should get going. And, sorry again, but Cycloid, you should stay with Julie." This surprised them.
"Why, boss?" he asked.
"Well, I know you miss me and all, and I do too, but I have some stuff here no one can see. I can't even let any of you see it, sorry, and I can't take the chance that you might see it, Cycloid."
"Oh..." the bakugan looked depressed.
"But don't worry!" Billy said quickly, "You can visit me during the rest of my vacation and we'll have all day tomorrow to see each other." This seemed to cheer Cycloid up.
"Great, boss!"
"Then I guess we should get going." Gorem said.
"Billy, are you going to watch us on TV?" Julie asked.
"Sure!" he said, "I'll do it. What channel and time do you guys have?"
"Channel 43, at 7:00." Cycloid said proudly, "We're apart of the night news!" Billy smiled.
"Well, I hope you have some good stories tonight." They then left as he called goodbye and waved. As soon as Julie started to drive away, he closed the door and sighed. He hadn't told her that he didn't have a television, but he did know a way to watch the program...
My second chapter so far! What do you think? Did I do good and keep them in character? It's been a while since I've seen Bakugan. And, the reunion will be in the next chapter.
