A/N: I do not own Bakugan

Runo sat on the park bench, waiting for no one in particular. It had been two years since her old friends left for America. This year she knew they would be back. Runo had been dating dan for about six months now, but she knew that it wouldn't last forever; they were just too different to be together for too long.

"Runo!!" Runo looked up to see a certain red head staring at her.

"Huh, oh, hey Alice" said runo

"Um runo, what's wrong" asked Alice. Runo sighed.

Just then, she remembered something. Katelyne. How was she going to tell her friends that she doesn't know where she is?

After Amy and the others left katelyne and runo just started to drift apart slowly. Now, runo had no clue where the pink headed eleven year old was. Then she realized that Alice had been staring at her the whole time.

"Uh, Alice" runo started "could you leave me alone for a sec?"

Alice nodded and walked away. I wonder what's up with runo. She thought

Runo stared at the park entrance until a familiar face popped up. Runo rubbed her eyes to make sure she wasn't seeing things. She wasn't. Because right there by the water fountain stood-

"Amy?!!" runo blurted out. The girl turned around and saw her blue haired friend.

"Runo! Hey girl! We home!" shouted Amy

"Amy, you're back!" yelled runo.

The two ran to each other and Amy tackle hugged her best friend to the ground.

"Oh My Gosh, its sooo good to see you again, you haven't changed one bit" commented Amy

"Thanks, it's good to see you too." Replied runo

"Hold on I gotta tell the others I found you" said Amy

Amy dialed a number and someone picked up the phone. Runo could hear another familiar voice on the other end of the line.

"Hey aims, watsup" said the voice

"Didn't I tell you not to call me that, anyways guess what? I found runo!!" Amy shouted into the phone

"No way, where are you, c'mon I wanna see our favorite blunette too." Bryan pouted

"Just come over to my place, we'll be there" replied Amy

"I'm so there!!" exclaimed Bryan

Amy's father was very rich, but not as rich as marucho's. Amy and Mari shared an apartment on the north side of town. After Amy called Bryan, she began to tell the others to meet at her place.

Amy's apartment was huge!! It had a gigantic plasma screen TV in the huge living room, and three gigantic bedrooms, one of them was Mari's of course(yes, they are gonna be roomies in this story), a Jacuzzi in the bathroom, and an extra large, oversized loft. Amy had the master bedroom, while Mari had the slightly smaller bedroom. Not to mention she was completely set for life in everything, food, money, bills, etc.

"Wow, Amy," Runo started "your dad sure doesn't fail at spoiling you"

"yeah, well, you can say that" said Amy

Just then, Mari burst through the door.

"RUNO!!!" she screamed

"MARI!!" runo shouted back

"Girl, you're really here!!" yelled Mari

"Yeah, well, I sorta live here" said runo in a matter-of-fact tone

"Oh, yeah, sorry" replied Mari

"Hey, where are Sam and the guys?" asked Runo, noticing the rest of her old friends were nowhere in sight.

"They'll be here anytime now" assured Amy

As if on cue, the guys and Sam burst through the front door.

"Runo!!" they all said at once (is there a word for that?), well except kyo.

"Wow, I'm hearing my name a lot today" commented Runo

"What do you expect from people you haven't seen in two years?" asked Bryan

"Man, it's good to see you again" said Justin who reached out for a hug. After a brief hug, he released his arms from her.

"You've all gotten so tall" commented Runo

"Yeah, and you're still as short as ever" replied Bryan

It was true; runo was always the shortest of the group. She was even the shortest out of all the brawlers, excluding marucho.

Runo suddenly heard a beeping noise, Dan, she thought. She pressed a button on her baku-pod causing Dan's face to appear on her screen.

"Hi, Dan" she greeted

"Runo, where are you?" Dan asked

"At a friend's house, why?"

"Cause we're all going to the beach, wait, what friends"

"Some friends from a couple years ago"

"Well you can bring them too. It'll be fun" said Dan

"Great. Meet cha there" replied runo

"Who was that?" asked Samantha

"My boyfriend" responded Runo

"Awww, my Runo is growing up" said Amy, fake crying.

"I guess you aren't so little anymore" commented Bryan

"Hey guys, sorry to interrupt you're little conversation, but, Runo, do you know where Katelyne is" asked Kyo

Runo looked down at her feet. This was the question she had been avoiding all along.

"Well, you see" she started "when you all left we sorta drifted apart. To tell you the truth, I have no idea where she is"

Everyone looked shocked, especially Kyo. Suddenly, Amy's cell phone rang.

"Hey, I got a text" she exclaimed

"Surprise, surprise" said Bryan sarcastically

"Wait, it says I know where Katelyn is, meet me at the beach in the girls' bathroom,"

Everyone looked at Amy like she had grown a second head. Their faces were full of shock and worry. Nobody said a word. Until Justin decided to break the silence.

"So, I guess we're going to the beach" he said
