I really wanted to write for a Bakugan, so that's why Skyress earns a cameo in this story.

Shun paced around in his bedroom, phone in hand and running over the lines in his head. He wanted to tell Alice how he felt, but he didn't know how to say it.
It was like an internal battle within him. Part of him wanted to open up his feelings to her, but the other part was too shy, too quiet to speak up.
"I can't tell her, Skyress," he finally said, flopping down onto his bed with a frustrated sigh.
"Why not, Shun?" She asked, waddling over to his side.
"What am I supposed to say?" He said, now sitting up straight. "Hi Alice, I really like you? What if she doesn't even…?" His voice trailed off.
"Shun," Skyress started, hopping onto his shoulder. "If there's one thing I know about Alice, it's that even if she doesn't feel the same way about you, she will always value your friendship. No matter her feelings for you, your friendship with one another will never change."
He smiled at his Bakugan partner and uttered a small, "Thanks". He stood up, filled with newfound confidence and punched in her number. His heartbeat quickened as he lifted the phone to his ear, listening to the ringing tone.
"Hello?" The gentle voice murmured on the other side.
"Alice? I have something to tell you."
"Yes? What is it, Shun?"
He glanced at Skyress, who nodded her head. With a deep breath, he decided to forget about what his head was telling him and follow his heart.
"I… I really like you."
