3.3.3:It's your first time! Welcome to fanficiton! I'm just curious what made you choose my story? Not that I don't want you to read it, I'm actually really glad that you're reading it =). Thanks so much! =)

DDR326:LOL! Yeah Fabia had to die… because if she didn't, then my story would end up differently xD but she'll be back in my next story! =) Sorry I had to make you wait so long. Thanks for your review! =)

YayForEveryCoupleILoveAndMore:Haha when you have no one to blame, blame school! LOL I like that xD. Anyways, I also feel bad for not being able to read some other stories that people wrote. It's hard to do both. Anyways, thanks so much for your review! =)

MaudyNovianti:Thanks =). Oh I like what you did with the dollar sign as the "s" xD. I'm sorry, I can be very easily amused. Anyways, I appreciate your review and I will definitely try updating soon. Thanks! =)

AkikoJ.Suzuki:Aw don't worry. She can take therapy and walk again =). Which she will definitely do since she probably wouldn't want to lose her job and stuff. Yeah… anyways, thanks for your support like always! =)

flippy17:It's nice to hear from you again. Well I'm glad someone doesn't hate Ace xD. Lol anyways, thanks a lot for the review! =)

Light-Sakura:Aww thanks so much! =) I'm really glad you like this. One of the reasons why I write this is because of the same reason you have. Alice isn't even on the show anymore. I really hope they'll make a season with only the original battle brawlers again. It was so much better and the game was less complicated too. Anyways, thanks for your review! =)

shadowwing1994:Really? Well I think we should have known she would come back since she and Dan are together lol. I guess we were just being negative. I really hope Alice and Julie come back too! Oh and Billy of course xD. I haven't been watching much of that season… I'm kind of waiting for the next to see if they'll all be in it. Anyways, thx for your review! =)

Me: Guess what!

Dan:… what?

Me: I have a new story idea that I can't wait to write!

Dan: … that doesn't sound good…

Me: What do you mean? I'm going to finish this one first, don't worry.

Dan: I'm not worrying about that…

Me: Oh, well don't worry about Runo. I made a special something for you guys in this chapter =)

Dan: Why would you do that?

Me: … umm because… ummm… forget it… I'm sure you guys would want a Dana and Runo moment! Here's the little review from last time!

Okay so Runo knows about Shun because when she went to visit Alice in the hospital, he was there and because Alice told her before.

Now Shun knows Runo knows which is alright with him.

They find out Fabia is dead and a funeral was held.

Shun finds out about Alice's legs.

He comforts her.

DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN BAKUGAN!

Alice's P.O.V.

"I can't believe it's tomorrow!" Julie exclaimed as she jumped off the ladder and carried an empty box to the recycle bin.

"Yeah, it's been fast," I agreed but I wasn't really into their conversation. I was thinking about Shun's gift. When should I give him the necklace? I knew necklaces weren't a boy type of thing but this one was special.

"Alice… Alice… come on! Stop daydreaming!" Julie whined as she moved her hand in front of my face.

"Oops, sorry…" I smiled apologetically. She shook her head and smiled.

"You're always like that. Who were you thinking about anyways?" she wondered. Julie didn't know about Shun… well not yet. She doesn't know that he's still alive or that he's still with Ren. She thought that we broke up. I didn't say anything though. I really don't want us to argue.

"No one," I lied. Julie smiled at me.

"Sure…" she teased as she started to blow a balloon, "Where's Runo?"

"Umm… I'm not sure, but probably with Dan somewhere…" I smiled.

Runo's P.O.V.

Where was Dan this time? I checked my watch. He was late! Again! Why can't he get a watch or something? Maybe I should have gotten him a watch… that jerk… always forgetting about me. I don't even know why I like him! I decided to leave and not wait anymore, that should teach him a lesson. I left the restaurant and saw Dan coming inside.

"Runo! You're leaving already?" he questioned confused. I glared at him and then left him standing there without saying a word. I could hear him following me, "Why are you mad this time?"

"Daniel Kuso, do you know what time it is? You're half an hour late and you didn't even bother to call!" I yelled at him.

"It's not my fault your cell phone was off!" he countered. I pulled out my cell and saw that it was on. I moved it around in his face. He got out his phone and checked who he called and realized it was the wrong number, "Oops…"

"I don't feel like talking, just leave me alone," I cried as I turned to leave. How could he get my number wrong? I call him almost everyday. That jerk! I walked off ignoring his hurried footsteps after me.

"Runo… I'm sorry… I didn't mean to be late and call the wrong person and…" he said quickly but I cut him off.

"That's not the point," I stated as I turned to face him. He seemed shock at my tear stained face, "You act like you don't care. You're always leaving me and you're always late. When have you ever been on time? You always put other things before me and it seems like I mean nothing to you. It feels like I'm just there for the sake of it!"

"Runo, that's not true," he whispered despite all my shouting. He grabbed my wrists before I could walk off again. He pulled me closer to him.

"Dan, don't even try sweet talking me out of this or doing anything stupid," I warned him as he stared into my eyes. I knew he was going to somehow do it anyway.

"Runo… please forgive me. I'm crazy for you… I have been since we were kids…" he actually sounded sincere and truthful. I sighed and gave him a small smile.

"I guess I might have been exaggerating a bit…" I admitted.

"A bit? You were way overboard!" he joked. I pushed him away but he pulled me back close.

"You sure know how to ruin a good moment…" I smiled, "And it's perfect…"

"Maybe I should do this more often… you know arguing with you…" he laughed.

"Don't even think about it," I warned. I could feel his warm breath as he leaned in and kissed me. He wrapped his arms around my waist and I wrapped mine around his neck. I broke the kiss, "I didn't know you like kissing me."

"I didn't know either," he laughed as he kissed me again. Then I held his hand and we walked on the streets.

Julie's P.O.V.

"It's eight Alice and we haven't even had dinner yet," I grumbled as I put up the last of the balloons. It feels like forever since we've sat down. My legs were aching!

"There! We're finished," Alice smiled at me as she turned off the lights and turned on the Christmas lights and decorations. I gasped at the view. It was beautiful!

"Oh Alice! It's amazing!" I exclaimed as I went to hug her. Then my phone started to vibrate. I took it out of my pocket. It was a text from Billy.

"Is it Billy?" Alice asked knowingly. I nodded, "Go ahead. I'll just clean up a few things and I'll be going."

"Are you sure?" I questioned feeling bad. I turned off the decoration lights and turned the lights back on.

"Definitely," she smiled, "I'll see you tomorrow."

"Thanks Alice! You're the best!" I gave her a quick hug and hurried out of the building. Billy told me to meet him at this fancy restaurant. I ran through the streets, looking for that restaurant. It was snowing again. I smiled at the sight. I wondered what Billy wanted. He really wasn't the romantic kind of person. I sighed as I finally got to the restaurant. I saw Billy waiting for me inside. He waved as I approached him.

"Hey Jules," he greeted shyly. He got out a bouquet of flowers and I couldn't help but peck him on the cheek.

"Hi Billy. So what's this for?" I wondered.

"It's for being such a great girlfriend. Julie, you are absolutely amazing… you're the best thing that has ever happened to me…" he whispered. I gasped as he said that. Billy was never the open kind of guy. He was always shy especially about our relationship. Then a slow song came on. He looked at me shyly. He was so adorable! "Do you want to dance?"

"Definitely," I grinned as he took me to the dance floor. I placed my arms around his neck and he placed his lightly around my waist. It felt amazing to be dancing with him. I lay my head on his chest. I could feel his heart pump fast from nervousness, "Don't worry… relax…"

"You're right… I have you right now and I won't let you go…" he whispered and lifted my head so our eyes met. He leaned in and leaned in as well. His lips were so soft and sweet. He broke off the kiss unsure of my reaction. I just smiled at him and lay my head back on his chest. I was looking forward to another one of his kisses. They felt like tiny explosions of joy.

Alice's P.O.V.

I was happy for Runo and Julie. I knew that Dan and Billy would take them somewhere. I just had a feeling. The room looked amazing. I turned off the lights and left. I was finally finished cleaning the place up. We were ready for tomorrow. It was cold outside and it was snowing again. I thought about taking the bus but it would be safer by taxi. So I decided to wait for a taxi to come. I looked at my watch. It was eight thirty now and it was already dark.

"Hey there beautiful," a drunk man had walked out of a club across the street and approached me, "We're having a party down there and it's a blast. You wouldn't want to miss it."

"No, I'm fine thanks," I rejected politely. His words were slurred and he definitely looked drunk. He was only wearing a t-shirt and jeans. I was worried he might get sick, "You should go back in, it's cold out here."

"Hmm… a wheelchair eh?" he completely ignored me as he touched my wheelchair and placed a finger under my chin. He made me look at him when I was trying to avoid his gaze, "What's wrong? I won't bite."

"I'm sorry but I have a boyfriend," I stated as I gently pushed his finger away. He didn't seem pleased about it.

"Who cares?" he continued as he ignored me again. I quickly pulled my wheelchair back to get away from him but he had gripped on to my shoulders and pulled me forward. He pulled me off the chair and threw me on to the ground, "Now… let's see…"

"Please, just leave me alone," I begged as he pinned me to the ground. I was so scared as I tried pushing him away from me.

"Get away from her!" I recognized and the voice and in one quick motion, he had kicked the guy off of me. I saw his worried expression as he knelt down beside me and picked me off the ground. I hid my face in his chest. It felt so good to feel his warmth.

"Shun…" I mumbled in his chest. He stroked my head and didn't let go of me or place me back on the wheelchair.

"So that's your boyfriend…" the guy laughed.

"You better go now…" Shun threatened.

"Shun don't… let's just leave…" I whispered. He nodded and ignored the drunk man. He folded my wheelchair and carried it with him as he carried me. I didn't know if we were walking or not but it didn't matter. I soon fell asleep in his arms… feeling safer than ever.

At Alice's house…

Shun's P.O.V.

I had finally got Alice's fireplace lit. It was cozy in the room. I stared at her sleeping figure. She was so beautiful… I still couldn't believe she wanted to stay with me… out of all the people in the world. I watched as she shifted her position and opened her eyes.

"Hey… are you feeling better?" I asked. She nodded and the smiled at me.

"Yeah, thanks Shun…" she reached for me and so I stepped forward. She pulled my hand and signaled for me to sit beside her. I did and waited for her to do something but she just bit her lip and stared at me.

"What's wrong?" I questioned confused.

"Why do you always think something's wrong?" she asked curiously. I stared at her a bit confused, "I was just… telling myself how lucky I am to have you…"

"Alice…" I started but she shook her head to cut me off. I would never talk over her.

"Shun, you're just going to tell me that it's not true," she said knowingly.

"Well it's not," I stated. She just smiled at me.

"Why are you like that?" she wondered.

"Like what?" I asked once again confused.

"You know… amazing… stunning… irresistible…" she blushed. I laughed. She looked adorable when she blushed.

"Irresistible?" I laughed again. She pouted playfully.

"Shun, stop laughing at me, I'm being serious…" even she couldn't hold in her smile. I gently caressed her cheek with one of my hands and wrapped my other hand and arm around her waist. I shifted closer to her. She stopped smiling and looked at me curiously.

"Well did you know that you are beautiful… sweet… and absolutely wonderful to be around…" and with that said, I leaned in. My angel did the same and automatically wrapped her arms around my neck. I kissed her gently. Her lips were so warm. It felt like fireworks… but I broke off the kiss to look at her again. She was smiling and nudged me in the forehead. I kissed her on the cheek.

"How about some dinner?" she asked randomly.

"Sure, I'll help you with it," it felt great to have finally gotten my first kiss from my angel. At that moment, I felt like the luckiest guy in the whole world.

The next day…

Alice's P.O.V.

"Alice, I'm almost done… hold still for a little longer," Julie instructed as she applied make up to my face. I really didn't want make up but if it was going to make her happy, I guess it couldn't hurt. Runo and I were at her house again. Runo was sitting on her sofa staring at the make up on her face.

"Julie, this is way too much!" she complained.

"Well, you want to look good for Dan don't you?" Julie teased. Runo mumbled some words and then glared at Julie but I knew she was happy inside, "Alice, close your eyes for a sec."

"Alright," I closed my eyes. I didn't know how it would turn out. Julie had been hiding the mirror the whole time. I could feel her brush the eye shadow.

"Okay Alice! I'm done!" she said excitedly. I opened my eyes and she gave me a mirror. I was surprised that it was applied lightly.

"Julie, this is amazing!" I complimented.

"Thanks, I kind of knew you wouldn't want too much," she smiled.

"Julie… you're not still feeling bad about the whole thing… are you?" I asked worried.

"I-I… Alice it was a mistake and now look what happened," she sighed, "I'm sorry."

"Julie, we're having a party tonight! Why are you still thinking about he pass? It already happened and I'm not mad at all," I smiled. She came and hugged me. Runo decided to join us and we had a group hug. They were both wearing the necklaces I had given them for Christmas.

"Sorry to interrupt, but we've got to get going," Ace stated as he stood by the door. I had forgiven Ace and he knew that now. He was going to give me a ride home so I could get ready for the party.

"Well, I'll see you guys later!" I waved as Ace pushed me out of the room. I knew that a long awkward silence would follow.

Me: So how was it? It might be a bit shorter… I think… I'm not actually sure… I can't believe Runo's BACK! I am so happy if only Alice would come back too! Then I'll be extremely happy! And if Shun and her start dating!

Shun: …

Me: You know you want to =)

Alice: Hey guys, I haven't been here for a while… what's the emergency?

Me:Well you see, Shun here wants…

Shun: *pushes me out of the room. Don't listen to her, she's crazy.

Me: I can hear that! Anyways, my dear readers, I hope you enjoyed this chapter! Thanks for your support! Please comment and review! Thanks =). See you all next time!
