Me: Hey guys, here is the next update.
Summary: A Darkus bakugan was send to Tokyo rather back to Vestroia with the other bakugan where he meets Mimete and team up to catch pure hearts. Can the Sailor Scouts defeat this new foe or will the Battle Brawlers have to step up to help them out?
I don't own Bakugan or Sailor Moon.
-Darien's place-
"Remind me again why we chose French as your language class?" wondered Dan as he was staring down at his homework assignment. He looked over at Marucho, "It's not like I am ever going to use it."
"It wasn't the matter of choosing Dan but rather, it was the only class that had room," replied Marucho. "We did attend the school pretty late so it was no wonder they gave us the one class that had enough room for us."
"At least you guys are not in French 2 like we are," stated Serena as she rubbed her ear after Mina shouted at her. "Did you really had to shout so loud Mina? My ear hurts."
"Sorry but I had to wake you up or you would have been asleep instead of studying," said Mina.
"That's right Serena so wakey, wakey!" said Lita.
Darien sighs, "I understand how Dan and the others are here as they plan today to work on their homework but you guys? I mean you said you guys needed my help but I get this feeling that you came for the air-conditioning."
"I second that," said Shun.
"Third," said Dan while the others nodded.
"Oh no, we also like your herbal Tea as well," said Raye before realizing what she said. "Um ah…"
"Oh thanks, that's makes me feel a lot better," said Darien as everyone laughed a bit.
"Amy what are you doing?" wondered Mina.
"Find anything interesting?" asked Darien.
"Yea, look at this wonderful diverse books," replied Amy as she listed a few she saw that were quite advance but useful. "Marucho, come and have a look with me."
"Why do you have so many books Darien?" wondered Dan as his blond friend walked over to Amy. "Is there a reason why you have so much?"
"Well you see, I always had many interesting in things and because of that, I can't seem to decide which subject to study," replied Darien.
"Hey you are like that saying, 'Jerk of all trades, master of nothing', right?" asked Lita as she lean over to Darien.
"Actually Lita it supposed to say 'Jack of all trades' not jerk," said Darien as Lita made a shock face before apologizing.
"I never heard of that saying before," murmured Dan while his friends nodded.
"Alright you guys, it's time to study again," said Darien as he grabbed hold of a textbook. "Let work on English Literature first before moving on to French. By the way, Shun if you guys need any help please feel free to ask."
"Of course Darien but I think we have it covered," said Shun before poking at Dan's face with his pencil. "Come on Dan, don't go fallen asleep on us now."
Dan yawn, "Sorry guys, Drago and I woke up a bit early today for our morning jog and some training before coming here."
"How early did you wake up Dan?" asked Raye.
"Um like…five in the morning, I think," replied Dan before slapping himself awake. "Alright, I think…I might take a break on French and work on my math."
"Oh let's work on it together Dan," said Julie happily as she moved over to the brunette. She pointed at a problem, "Have you done this one yet? I am a bit stuck."
Runo glared at her, "Julie, he needs to work on his own! Not have someone bothering him!"
Julie stuck out her tongue, "Not really as someone told me that helping each other in problems is a good thing as it helps the couple out on both ends – so can it girl! Besides, Danny is mine, you hear!"
"Yours?!" shouted Runo angrily before going after Julie.
Dan widen his eyes before getting out of the way as the others watched Runo and Julie bickering again. Dan and Shun sighs while Marucho and Alice shook their heads.
"Um you are not going to stop them?" wondered Lita.
"This always happens," said Marucho as he waves his hand. "They will soon stop so don't worry about it. Now French?"
Serena made a grim face, "But…I'm horrible in French."
"And that's why I suggested that we study it," said Darien before everyone heard the door ring.
"Oh there's the door, I'll get it," said Serena and quickly get up from the table and answering the door. At the door was an elderly man carrying a cane, a suite with a cravat, teal hair, had blue eyes and a mustache.
"Um he already has a subscriptions to the paper if that's what you want," said Serena.
"Mm ah! Bonjour mademoiselle," greeted the elder.
Serena blinked a bit before waving her hands a bit, "Um I don't speaky French. Just me, not French."
The elder man looked confused before finally understand what's wrong, "Ah, I get it now. You don't speak the French language. Can you please tell me if Darien is home right now?"
"Um yes, Darien is home right now. Can I ask who you are, monsieur?" said Serena before widening her eyes. "Oh so you do speak English! You surprised me!"
"Édouard," said Darien as he came to the front door.
"Bonjour Darien, it's been a long time since I've seen you," greeted Édouard before noticing everyone else. "Ah Bonjour mademoiselle and monsieur."
"Enchanté," greeted Mina.
"Bonjour," greeted Raye.
"Enchanté, to make your acquaintance sir," greeted Amy properly.
"Merci," said Lita as the girls looked down.
"That's not a greeting Lita, that means thank you," stated Raye.
"At least I was polite," said Lita honestly.
"Comment allez-vous?" said Marucho and Alice.
"Hello monsieur," said Shun and Dan.
"Bonjour monsieur!" said Julie happily. "Oh I have always wanted to say that!"
"Bonjour," said Runo.
"Would you like to come in Édouard?" asked Darien.
"I love to but I can't," replied Édouard. "Actually I'm hosting a dinner party back in my house tonight for some of the students and faculty. They suggested that I invite you."
"I'm honored by the invite," said Darien.
"Well I was in the middle of my daily walk so I better be on my way. I hope you can attend Darien and of course you young ladies and gentlemen are invited as well," said Édouard.
All the girls agreed quickly minus Alice while the Dan and the others were shaking their heads.
After Édouard left, Darien explained to everyone who he was. The elder man was a retired rich businessman from France who lives at the Rose Mansion.
Darien showed a picture of the mansion to everyone.
"Oh so he is the one that lives there," said Serena. "Wow, what an amazing place to have a party. What do you think Dan?"
"I guess so," said Dan as he looked over at the picture. "It sure is big enough to hold a few people here and there, right Marucho?"
Marucho nodded, "You're right Dan."
"Now he teaches Economics and have these parties for his best students," said Darien. "He's interested to mix people from different countries."
"Oh that is so kind of him," said Alice.
"I'll say as I never heard of a nice rich man that help other people," said Runo.
"I so want to be his student now!" said Julie happily.
"Wow imagine that big house with music and the ballroom," said Raye as she was daydream of the mansion.
"And it's a wonderful chance to have cultural exchanges with people all over the world," said Amy. "What do you think of it Marucho?"
"I have to agree with you as it was the same with the game that Dan and Shun created with the Bakugan back home," replied Marucho. "You would have get to meet different people online and would chat with them."
"Really? That's pretty cool," said Mina while Lita nodded.
"I'm into the romance being with you Darien in a beautiful mansion," said Serena happily as she raised up her hand. "I feel just like a princess."
"Um…I thought you already are one Serena," murmured Runo.
Serena laughed nervously, "Well not in this timeline."
"By the way, do you happen to know who are the students are from Darien?" wondered Amy.
"Sure do! These group is coming from France actually," replied Darien as the girls gasped. "These year there is a bunch of French students coming so we better practice more on our French."
"Well that oddly coincidence," murmured Dan as his friends nodded to agree.
"Don't worry Dan, you be fine as you are getting the hang of it actually," said Marucho. "Runo you really need to practice and don't forget Julie, be careful on how you pronounce your words properly."
"Right on it!" said Julie while Runo nodded slowly.
"I can help Julie and Runo while you help out Dan and Shun, Marucho," said Alice.
"Perfect!" said Marucho.
"Well looks like that have things planned out," said Darien before taking out a French book. "Shall we get started?"
That's when he noticed Serena wasn't paying any attention as she was having trouble of having a romantic evening with him then going looking grim that she has to speak French.
"Serena, can we get to work here?" asked Darien but knowing her, she already is lose in her mind. Raye and the other girls sighs in defeat before calling quits.
The Scouts waited for the Bawlers to finish up their study session before going back home and started getting ready for the party.
Serena apologize to Rini as she couldn't come as she was too young to attend for the event. The small scout was sad but understood.
Before leaving, Dan whispered to the young scout that he will try to bring food from the place just for her. Rini's eyes sparkle in joy before hugging the brunette and thank him.
The gang arrived at the Rose Mansion and inside was filled with students from different regions. Some were dancing while others were talking among themselves.
"Ah look at this gorgeous guys," stated Mina dreamily.
"Alright, they're all tall," said Lita happily.
"I don't care any of that, just as long it get to dance with Dan," said Julie as she holding onto Dan's hand. "Come on Danny! Let's go dancing!"
"Hey, who said that you get to dance with Dan first?!" snapped Runo before grabbing hold onto Dan's other hand.
"Ah not again," murmured the brunette as he was being tagged back and forth.
"Alice," said Shun as the Darkus brawler nodded her head.
The scouts looked at them with a sweatdrop coming down from their heads before looking back at the people.
Serena looked nervously at the people, "Just great, most of them are speaking in French."
"Well you know what they always say about France Serena, it's supposed to be the language of love," said Raye as in her way of calming her leader down.
"Only if you can speak it," argued Serena.
"Come on Serena, it's a good opportunity for you to try it out so give it a shot," said Amy before smiling. "Even Dan and his friends are going to try to speak French."
"That's different and this is not a good opportunity Amy," whined Serena dramatically just as Shun and Alice were able to get Runo and Julie away from Dan.
Marucho and Shun stood side by side at the brunette just in case.
Suddenly Drago pop out of Dan's pocket and looked around, "So…this is what a fancy human party looks like. Your friend Marucho never made his party like this."
"No but I'm glad that he doesn't or it would be weird and I would feel out of place," said Dan before making a face. "Like now…hey wait! You supposed to be hiding inside there."
"Sorry Daniel but…let's just say I got a bit curious what was all the fussy was about," said Drago.
"Then why didn't you let Mina make you a disguise like the others," said Dan.
"And look ridiculous in front of those humans," said Drago before shaking his head a bit. "Sorry Daniel, I rather not embarrass myself to the level."
"Ah come on, Preyas looks great as a necktie gem," said Dan. "Tigrerra, Skyress and Gorem look great as a necklace…well Skyress is more of a clasp. And I don't hear Hydra complaining either being a ring."
"You're just messing with me, aren't you?" said Drago before sighing. "Alright, tell me something is happening if not, I am going to sleep."
"Alright pal," said Dan just as someone was calling out to Darien.
"Bonsoir Darien!"
"Bonsoir Vincent!" greeted Darien.
"Long time no see, how it going man?" asked Vincent as he and a few students were walking towards them including Édouard.
Serena had a panic look on her face when they were coming their way. She was begged they wouldn't speak in French.
"Bonsoir mademoiselle."
"Darien, you're quite a popular fellow this evening," said Vincent. "How about introducing this lovely ladies to us and of course the young gentlemen as well."
"Hey, you guys are talking in English," said Dan.
"That's right, we are studying the language so we are practicing speaking it right now."
"Not bad as I can understand you quite clearly," said Shun as the others nodded.
"Why thank you, little one," said Vincent.
"Hey you're lucky Serena – mm where did she go?" said Raye before noticing that Serena wasn't with them.
"That's strange…she was here a minute ago," said Dan. "I'll go and find her!"
"Go and check if she is in the ladies room," said Lita. "Make sure you knock!"
"I know that!" said Dan before getting direction to the bathroom. The brunette was about to turn the corner when he spotted Serena behind a curtain with a blue book on her hand.
Dan walked over to her as he could hear her trying to practice with her French but is failing. The brunette sighs knowing how it feels before seeing Serena taking a drink from a pink liquid.
"W-Wait Serena! That's not…juice," said Dan after Serena stopped and looked at Dan with silly grin look on her face. The brunette backed up a bit, "Oh boy…"
"Bonjour Danny, here why don't you have a drink? You look like you need one," said Serena happily before giving Dan a bit of the pink liquid. "Oh look its Darien! Oh Darien!"
Serena ran off leaving Dan cough a bit before feeling a bit dizzy.
That's when Drago came out a bit to see what was going on. He looked around before seeing Dan leaning over the wall and his face had a crimson color on his face.
"Daniel, are you alright? Are you – Dan watch were you are going!" said Drago before falling into the pink liquid.
Meanwhile Darien was talking to some of the French students about science while Amy was talking to Édouard.
"I think all of your guest are so smart and interesting," said Amy. "They must be all honor students."
"Yes, they are all promising young people and our hope for the future," said Édouard. "That is way I enjoy having this parties in my home every so often. To see young people like this enjoy themselves in my home with stimulation conversation and a waltz or two is my idea of a rosey evening."
Amy smiled, "It sounds wonderful and I agree, an evening of intellect and culture is indeed rosey. What do you think Marucho?"
"Mm," said Marucho before adjusting his glasses. "It's not bad idea at all. Learning new things is quite useful as you have no idea when you are going to need it in the near future."
"Well I hope that both of you will join them someday to make a bright future," said Édouard.
"Oh yes, I try," replied Amy politely while Marucho smiled a bit.
"Look at them," said Lita.
"I know," said Raye before sighing. "I don't know how Amy does it, she is so confident. Was Marucho the same way as well?"
"In a way but he's like that cause of his lessons from his mother about manners," said Shun. "Marucho is pretty smart as he can created stuff that is useful for us in our last battle with Naga."
"Well I guess it must be easy for them to be confident just they are geniuses," stated Mina.
That's when Serena walked pass by them but was walking rather wobbly. She went over to Darien who was with two French students.
"Hey what's wrong with Serena? She's all wobbly guys," said Julie before looking around. "Hey wasn't Dan supposed to be looking for her?"
"Hey yea you're right," said Shun. "Where is Dan?"
The girls looked around before Alice spotted the brunette walking over to them but was holding onto his head.
"Dan!" said Alice before running over to him. "Are you alright? You don't look so good. Are you ill or something?"
Shun and the others walked over before Shun noticed that Dan had a bit of crimson color onto his face and couldn't stay still.
The raven teen grabbed hold onto Dan as Marucho ran up to him.
"Guys, Serena is drunk," informed the Aquos brawler before noticing Dan. "Hey, what's wrong with Dan over there? He kind of looks like how Serena does."
"So wait don't tell me that Dan is – drunk?!" said Runo before grit her teeth. "That idiot! Was he not paying attention on what he was drinking?"
Dan smiled with a goofy look on his face, "Hehe…who's the loudmouth?"
"L-Loudmouth?!" snapped Runo before grabbing hold onto Dan's shirt. "Who you calling loudmouth?!"
"Runo, carefully. Dan is not himself right now," said Alice before taking out Drago from his hiding spot. That's when she felt the pocket was a bit wet.
'Strange,' thought Alice as she took out the Pyrus bakugan. "Drago, did you by any chance see how Dan got drunk?"
"Hehe…blondie gave some to Danny-boy before I me got some too," said Drago strangely.
Shun slapped his forehead, "Not again…Drago is also drunk."
"Come on let's take Dan outside with the others," said Marucho as he pointed to a balcony. "I will go get some water for Dan just make sure he get some fresh air!"
Shun nodded before guiding the brunette outside and saw Serena leaning over to the balcony railing while Amy was trying to get her to drink some water.
Lita turned around before noticing Dan, "Wait don't tell me that he too got drunk?"
Shun sighs, "Most likely but I have a feeling that Serena offered the drink she was drinking to Dan which why he is like this."
"Figures," murmured Raye.
While Serena, Dan and Drago were recovering from their drunken state, Amara and Michelle were playing inside but just outside, someone was just entering the party as well.
It about a few minutes for Serena, Dan and Drago to return back to their normal selves and entered back inside.
"How are you two feeling?" asked Lita.
"Alright," replied Serena and Dan.
"Hey I didn't say nothing…um weird, did I?" wondered Dan.
"Now that you mention it – ouch! Hey what was that for Julie?!" said Runo.
"Oh nothing – oh hey is that Amara and Michelle! Hey guys!" said Julie.
"Hey gang," greeted Amara.
"Hello," said Michelle.
"Amara! Michelle! Hello," said the others.
"Wonderful party, is it not?" said Michelle just as they were starting to play a different tone. "Oh they are playing a waltz now, Darien please honor me with a dance?"
"N-No, he is going to dance with me," said Serena.
"Come on then, how about I can give you a lesson and then you can have Darien?" offered Amara.
Serena blushes a bit before smiling, "I do need a lesson."
The other girls sighs dramatically before Amara took Serena to the dance floor while Darien took Michelle. Julie and Runo brighten their eyes and were about to get Dan to dance with them before noticing he was not with them.
"Hey, where is Dan? He was supposed to be waltzing with me," said Julie with a pout.
"You? No way, he's going to dance with me as an apology of what he said when he was drunk!" snapped Runo.
The two were bickering once again and failed to notice something.
"Should…we tell them that Alice is teaching Dan to waltz," said Marucho as he glanced over to his left to see the two dancing.
Shun shook his head, "Na, let them be. Besides, Dan did ask Alice to give him a lesson of waltzing and a reason for Julie and Runo to not dance with him."
Marucho laughed, "It would have been a disaster if he did. He would have ended up stepping on one of their feet…it looks like Dan is learning pretty fast. Look at them!"
Shun looked over to see Alice and Dan waltz gracefully just the same with Serena to Amara and Darien to Michelle.
Shun blinked his eyes, "Well, what you know. Dan can really waltz…who know?"
Marucho and Pyres sighs, "Not us."
-Break Line-
Mm who feel sorry for Dan now? At least Alice taught him to waltz before going to dance with the other two. The same with Serena and Amara…Lita and the others are feeling left out, that sucks.
Oh what's this? A party crasher? Who is it? Mm…
