Chapter 2:
It was mid-afternoon when Shun and Alice had nothing to do. "Sigh, I don't know where we are...I hope the others find us," she said. "Well, I tried to contact them in my BakuPod...But, it's no use...It's jammed," Shun replied. "Oh,well...Are you hungry? I could get some fruit over there..." Alice said, concern in her voice. "Uh, it's okay," Shun replied. Waiting there seemed forever. How could there friends notice them? And, the thing is, It's going to be Valentine's Day. How'll they make it to the dance?
Meanwhile, at the Misaki Cafe, the brawlers came to discuss what they are going to do on this "dance" of theirs. "Well, we might have the -60's theme," Marucho said. "No! No way! I'd rather have a romantic theme," Julie said. Dan and Runo stared at them bickering. "I-I'll go with Julie's plan," Runo said. "Hey! By the way, did anyone see Shun and Alice?" Julie said. "Alice...Oh yeah! Where is she?" Runo said, finally realizing. "Shun's gone, too...I checked my BakuPod where he was, but there's no signal," Dan reported. "They'll just catch-up," Marucho said. "Okay!" Now, there back to planning.
At the forest, Alice wasn't feeling good. "Uh..." Hydranoid noticed this. "Alice? What's wrong?" Hydranoid asked. Shun was out finding food. "I...I don't feel well," She said. "Why?" Hydranoid asked again. "I forgot to take my vitamins..." Alice said. Shun came with a pack of oranges. He noticed Alice's paleness. "Alice, What's wrong?" Skyress asked. "She forgot to take her daily vitamins," Hydranoid replied for her. "Here, there's oranges here. It'll be a good source of vitamins," Shun said, handing her an orange. "Th-Thank you," Alice said, taking the orange. With this, their hands touched and Shun can feel the smooth skin Alice had. He held her hand and said, "Alice, whatever you need, please don't hesitate to ask," He said it with his hard voice, but it was full of concern. Alice blushed. She didn't know this "other Shun". Maybe she has time to ask him to the dance, but, then again, their still lost.
That night, before they sleep, Shun and Alice told stories of their lives outside the city. "In Moscow, I couldn't fight my shyness on making friends...So, as I grew up there, I was a loner," Alice told her story. "Oh, we're the same..." Shun said. Skyress and Hydranoid made a quick check to all of their surroundings. They'll be back. But their not yet back. So, after Shun's statement, his face neared to Alice until they were a breath away."I can't take it anymore...My chest burns," Shun thought. Alice noticed this and blushed. She closed her eyes, until..."Shun!" Skyress suddenly yelled. This made them jump. They quickly turned away hiding their blushes. So much for their moment! "Wh-What?!" Shun said, turning to Skyress. "We made a thorough search of the area and no harm around," Hydranoid reported. "So, it's safe to make a camp-out here," Skyress announced. "O-okay. Thanks, Skyress, Hydranoid," Alice said, still red. "What happened to you two?" Skyress asked. "Uh, it's nothing! Nothing at all!" Shun sweared, sweating heavily. The two Bakugan eyed the two in suspicion. "Oh well, let's go to sleep," Hydranoid said in between yawns. "Good Night," They told each other.
In Runo's room, Runo was pacing on the room. "I wonder what happened to Alice or Shun," she thought. "It's already night and she's not yet here. Maybe he and she are...kidnapped," Runo told with horror. She just prayed for her safety and went to sleep. "Alice..."
