A/N: Chapter 9!

Disclaimer: Never have I ever owned Bakugan.

Masquerade glared at Spectra. Without warning Masquerade socked Spectra in the face or rather face and mask. The glass cracked slightly and now there was blood on Masquerade's knuckles and Spectra's face. Not that he cared, he'd already punched Masquerade. Runo and Alice were off to the side watching. Alice in horror at the violence. Runo in excitment because of it which Alice later chatsied her for.

"Is that the best you can do?" Spectra mocked though it was evident on his face it'd hurt a lot.

An hour later...

"Your such an idiot, Masquerade." Alice told him.

"He started it." Masquerade grumbled, "And I ended it!"

Alice rolled her eyes, "Now you sound like a 5 year old who's been sent to the principal's office."

"Your not really mad at me. Your too nice for that. How 'bout we just kiss and make-up?" Masquerade asked Alice.

"Fine-" She began but was cut off. Alice jumped back from him and shrieked, "Masquerade! What the heck was that for!"

"I did say kiss and make up, didn't I?"

"Real mature, Masquerade. I hate you!" , Then Alice smacked his arm and stomped out of the room.

"Love you too!" he yelled back mockingly before collapsing on the nearby couch laughing as Zixhos just stared at him in confusion since, as most bakugan, he really didn't get humans sometimes.

With Julie, Gus, Mira, Baron, Zenet, and Becky...

"Bakugan Brawl! Subterra Gorem stand!" Julie yelled throwing Gorem onto the gate-card for her battle with Zenet.

Zenet motioned for Julie to stop. Then Zenet stepped back from the battle field yelling,"Wait! Time-out!" and going on to say, "I'm leavin'. I don't feel like brawling right now. You comin' Beck?" This statment was met by some 'huh?'s and Julie's outraged cry of, "You can't do that!"

Zenet promptly teleported away, presumably back to the Gundalians' lair and Becky stood there akwardly, "Any chance we could forget any of this happened?" When this strategy didn't work Becky ran for dear life in who knows what direction.

"Well that went well." Gus muttered sarcastically heading back inside.

The girls were all in Runo's room sitting in a circle on the floor. Also Baron was there too because Spectra still scared him a little and Masquerade threatened to hurt him if he got within a foot of him.

"So what was it like being held prisoner, Julie?"

"It was awful. The tight ropes, the dark room... But I don't wannna talk about that. I heard Alice has something way more exciting to talk about! Tell us Alice!" Julie squealed making most of the others cover their ears.

"I don't know what you mean, Julie." Alice said.

"Don't be silly Alice! I heard Masquerade kissed you! So tell us everything!"

Baron interrupted, confused, "Wait, I thought Master Masquerade was Lady Alice?"

"No silly Baron. Don't you keep up with the news? Masquerade isn't Alice he's his own person. What were you locked in a closet for the past few days or something?" Julie questioned.

"Yes." Baron replied.

"Oh yeah...Well still!"

"Where'd you hear all this Julie?"

"I always keep up with gossip...and Masquerade told me." she said truthfully.

Alice wndered, "Why?"

"Well okay. I sorta threatened to cut of his hair when he was sleeping if he didn't tell me what was going on. Now spill!" Julie commanded.

"There's not much to tell, he just kissed me. Then I smacked him and left."

"Well did you like it? Is he a good kisser? Do you like him? Do you think he's got a crush on you? Are you two together?" Julie asked so quick Alice barely understood.

"No, WHAT?, NO!, I don't know, NO WAY ON EARTH!, in that order." Alice answered all of Julie's questions at once.

The girls(and Baron) continued to gossip and talk. Eventually Baron was thrown out though for getting a little weird with the 'OH NO YOU DIDN'T's and when he started to paint his nails bright pink it was the last straw.

"Gus we should be going now." Spectra called to him.

Gus stepped away from the door he'd been listening at, "Yes, Master Spectra." He looked back at the door, "...Do you think we might stay a little longer?"

"Why? So I have to put up with that masked maniac another second longer? No. We're leaving immediately and that's final." said Spectra turning to leave.

A foot from the door he heard someone call his name, "Gus! Where are youuu!"

"Come now Gus, we don't have time for this." Spectra ordered him.

Just then Julie found them, "Gus!" she came running at him trapping him in a hug, "Where are you going?"

Gus struggled to breathe in her death hug, lone enough come up with an excuse, "I...uh-well..."

"Go away Julie." ordered Spectra.

She stuck her hands on her hips and stuck out her tounge defiantly, "Your not the boss of me mister!"

"Julie," Gus grabbed her hand and led her out of the room, "Just stay here. Don't follow okay, can you do that for me?"

"Where are you going?" She asked.

"Away."

A/N:Sorry if anyone was a little OOC this chapter and for it being mostly dialogue and a bit short. Review! :)
