I updated sooner than what I have planed! Well hope that you enjoy it!
Alice's POV
Finally we arrived to Marucho's beach house, it's been a long trip and everyone was very exited about what they are going to do here. Dan is willing to fight and eat pretty much all summer; Runo just want to relax and enjoy her time away from the cafe; Julie… well Julie's a hole lot of things to do, paint her nails shopping, get a tan, etc, etc, etc…; Marucho is going to learn some foreign languages and more strategies for the battles; Shun… well I don't know what he is willing to do and I… I haven't planed anything yet; guess I'll just do whatever thing that comes up in my mind.
Marucho led us in to his huge castle type mansion and showed us all of their incredible rooms. The place was simply beautiful. After we had a small lunch in the enormous dining room, Marucho led us to our rooms. Julie, Runo, and I were going to share a beautiful and sophisticatedly decorated room. Dan, Marucho, and Shun would share another room. The bakugans were really tired and went directly to bed; in the other hand we were full of energy and willing to have fun at the beach.
"DAN! STOP EATING SO MUCH YOU GREEDY!" shouted Runo, while giving him a punch in his head, seeing the empty bowl that was full of ice cream just 2 seconds before it felt in Dan's hands. "HEY! That hurts!" said an annoyed Dan. That was all I heard while I was coming out to the beach, I have to admit I'm slow changing.
When I got out Marucho was laughing at them but Julie, because she was too busy with her get-a-beautiful-tan-while-painting-your-nails-project, and Shun weren't.
It was so nice to be here at the private beach of Marucho with all of my friends. I sat on the sand next to Runo, Marucho and Dan.
They were all gazing at me and Julie interrupted her project to see the cause of the silence, and when she did she put the same dumb-founded face. I blushed and began to worry about why they all looked at me, what was wrong with me? Dan was the one who spoke up "Wow Alice you look stoning! I mean wow you're just…WOW!" I blushed harder. "Alice! You have like an awesome body and that bikini looks just awesome in you! The colors highlight your eyes and combine with your skin! HOW DO YOU DO IT? I mean I just can't find such a perfect suitable bikini for me!" That didn't help, I blushed even harder. They look at me for a while until Runo suggested us a volleyball match, girls vs. boys.
"Come on Runo! Boys vs. girls? Are you kidding me? That is just unfair for you! It's going to be so boring to "play" against you!" Dan complained.
"What Dan? Afraid to loose against girls?" Runo replied challengingly.
"Loose against you girls? HAHAHA! Runo sometimes you are so funny!" said Dan teasingly.
"Well then lets play and find out who are better boys or girls!"
We all played, including Shun, who was being obligated by Dan. At the beginning boys were winning because of Shun's incredibly fast ninja speed, but then he got bored because we were no challenge for him at all and retired, leaving us outnumbered. I decided to retire too and leave them playing.
After a few matches only Dan and Runo were left playing to decide whether boys or girls were better.
Later I decided to get in the room and take a bath. On my way back I saw a beautiful painting on Marucho's hallway. I could see a beautiful woman I could see that her beautiful soft violet dress was being transformed from the middle to a war style clothe. She had straight reddish hair and small but sharp fangs extending her arms and trying to touch a group of people that seem to be… a woman and a man holding hands… what would that mean?... she was trying to… reach… her… FAMILY! When I discovered what that painting's meaning was, I bumped into someone who was strong enough to not fall to the ground because of me...
It was Shun! I immediately pushed myself away from his bare chest and blushed hardly. "Shun… um… I'm sorry" I said
"It's fine Alice, no harm done… I should say sorry too" my face turned into a confused expression. "Well it's been so long since I last saw you and I did not even take the time to greet you back there in Russia" I blushed at his words.
"No problem Shun, don't worry about it" I replied and gave him a sweet smile. For my surprise, he smiled back a small but sincere smile.
I passed quickly beside him and rushed to my room. I burst the door open and jumped into my bed with my face bright red. Hydranoid woke up and rolled closer to me, seeing my facial expression.
"Alice, what is the matter?"
"Nothing Hydranoid, I just… had… um… a small conversation with Shun."
"Sure" Hydranoid answered unconvinced, but did not asked more. I stood up and went to the luxurious bathroom and took a long bath, while thinking of everything that happened today. Without stopping my train of thoughts I put on my pajama and went to my room. I sat down on a bed and felt a pair of legs underneath me.
"ALICE! Gush! Look where you are sitting!" Julie yelled, was she there when I came in the room?
"Oh my God! Sorry Julie, I got distracted right now and…"
"I don't think you got distracted right now Alice." said Runo.
"Yes Alice, what… or who were you thinking of?" I blushed, which didn't help at all.
"OMG! Alice you HAVE to tell me everything that happened when you left!" Julie demanded and they both stared at me with intense eyes. "Well on my way back to our room… I got distracted with a painting and well… bumped into Shun…"
"OMG! AHHHH!" Chimed Julie.
"Julie! Let her continue!"
"YES ALICE CONTINUE!"
"Um well… that was all…"
"LIAR!" they yelled at the same time.
"Fine, he told me he was sorry for not greeting me back there at Russia and I said it was okay and rushed into our room"
"And that was ALL? I thought it would be at least interesting" Said Julie disappointed.
"Well that is a beginning Alice" said Runo.
"A beginning of what Runo?"
"A beginning of a relationship Alice!"
"C'mon! Don't tell me you don't like Shun, because it is O-B-V-I-O-U-S!" I blushed, I had to admit it I liked Shun; he understands how I feel and we know the pain of not having the love of a real family.
