Chapter 10

Finale

Alice sat in the jet-plane. She was glad that everything was over. Masquerade was gone and now they were on their way back home. She blushed at her own courage and thinking about the way she had actually kissed Shun on the cheek. She gulped slightly.

"Penny for your thought?" Julie said.

"Uh…Julie who says that anymore?" she asked puzzled...

"No one. I was just wondering what was up with you, I mean, you have been acting strange ever since you got on the plane…If it is about the Masquerade business, then don't worry. That meanie is gone now."

"I guess… But it's not that." Alice accidentally narrated everything to Julie.

"You idiot! You didn't respond? I would have kissed him then and there."

Alice was now embarrassed that she actually told Julie. "Easy for you to say…"

Julie sighed in defeat. She then looked towards the hallway… [A/N: Well it is Marucho's jet…So there can be a hallway okay?] There was Shun; he was heading towards the right.

"Talk about the devil." She muttered.

"Did you say something Julie?"

"No..." she answered to Alice but then called out. "Hey Shun… Come here..." Alice's face turned bright red. Shun looked in their direction. He was puzzled, he didn't understand Julie's devious plan and plus he didn't see Alice sitting there.

As he entered the room he half-stopped in surprise.

"What's wrong hot-shot? Take a seat." Shun nodded and sat down on the couch and saw some manga lying there on the table so he took one and started reading. Alice was playing with the edge of her green skirt. Yes, Julie and Runo had made her change when she got on board and they wouldn't let her wear pants or jeans.

"Good luck." mouthed Julie, before she left.

Shun didn't notice this.

He was engrossed in the manga. Alice sought forth all her courage and stood up and headed towards Shun's couch. He seemed to have sensed something. He put the manga aside and looked straight at Alice, perhaps he had expected one of Julie's pranks.

Both of them blushed. Alice didn't know what to do or say…

The rest of the brawlers were spying from behind the door. Julie was getting impatient.

"Joe, you can use a bit of every element as your powers can't you?"

"Uh yeah…. Julie but why?"

"Send a strong wind on Alice and push her right on top of Shun."

"Uh don't you think that is a bit much?" Joe asked uneasily.

"At this rate I think we really will have to resort to that." Said Runo sighing.

"You girls are way too extreme." said Dan starting to feel awkward as well.

"Do it NOW Joe, Or I will strangle you. Believe me I will." Julie threatened. Joe gulped.

Meanwhile.

"Uh...Well…About what you said to me…I…I."'

"It's okay you don't have to reply straight away." He told her in a reassuring voice.

"No, it's not that…. I want to reply right now….I really want to…I don't know what made me be silent at that moment…. It was probably the pressure I was under… But regardless, Shun I do feel the same way…"

Shun was dumbstruck.

"I really do... I love you…I never had the courage to confront you about it….But I do…I love you Shun." She was well and truly breathless now.

"Alice I…" he was about to say something when an unnaturally strong gust of wind came hurtling down the hallway… It hit Alice's back and she plummeted onto Shun's couch.

She was on top of him. Her knees on his and her hand positioned on the couch's handle. Her eyes were wide…Both of them were blushing like tomatoes…Their faces were just centimeters apart. One wrong move and they could be kissing… But wasn't that what they wanted. It was like they realized the other's thought.

Both of them moved their lips closer at exactly the same moment. And their lips met in a kiss…Alice let go of the couch handle and let her body settle on Shun's, hoping that she wasn't that heavy. Shun encircled his hands around her while still in the sitting position. He gently pulled her closer. Her heart fluttered in happiness as she cherished the feel of his lips on hers.

"Aw..." said both Runo and Julie at the same moment.

"Well brawlers, job well done." said Dan in an enthusiastic voice.

Shun and Alice parted and Alice got off Shun.

"SO will you be my girlfriend?"

"Is that even a question to ask? Of course yes." She answered in a smile.

They then looked towards the door and saw all the brawlers peeping through, excluding Marucho of course.

Julie waved at them, a bit embarrassed. Shun opened his mouth to say something.

"Don't say anything Shun; you owe us for the interference." said Joe in a sly tone.

Shun slapped his own forehead. He should have guessed they were the cause of the wind.

"But hey… All's well that ends well. Right?" urged Runo smiling uncontrollably.

"Anyways you should be happy...You are officially a couple now….And I will not regret THIS." She said showing them a video camera.

"Julie, you …you taped it?" Alice was almost speechless; she practically forced herself to say these words.

"Uh-huh."

"Give it here." said Shun in a threatening tone….

"No way hot-shot... Consider it payment for our service."

Just then Marucho reached the scene.

"What's going on you guys? You all seem unnaturally happy." He asked observing them closely.

"Oh nothing." answered Joe.

"Anyhow, I think in Marucho's age-group parental-guidance would be advised." whispered Runo to both the girls. Julie giggled uncontrollably. Alice blushed the world's brightest shade of red.

And so they returned to their respective homes, happiness restored and peace returned, and the next day they resumed their daily lives like nothing had happened. They occasionally used their powers for this and that. However the only difference was that now Alice and Shun were together now.

And like Runo and Julie sees it "'It's about time.'"
