Chapter 3:
It was the day of the dance and the brawlers all went to Runo's house. "Hey Runo. Any sign of Alice and Shun yet?" Dan asked. "I...I don't know. Alice's not yet back. I'm beginning to think their kidnapped," Runo said. "Hey! Cut that thought! They couldn't be kidnapped, would they?" Julie chided her. "What other explanation could it be?! It's already a day, and their not yet back!" Runo said. "Then, let's forget about the dance. Let's find them first," Dan announced, "Let's start this afternoon," And with that, they discussed their plans on how to tackle this problem. Will they ever find them?
At the forest, Shun and Skyress were taking a morning walk. "Shun, I've got to ask you something," Skyress started, "Do you...Care for Alice?" Shun suddenly froze, "I..." he began to say, but Skyress cut him off, "I saw the way you look at her. And that you enjoy her company," Shun looked at the river beyond them, "I just can't hide it anymore, Skyress," Shun thought aloud. "I...I'm not sure," Shun blurted out. Skyress just eyed at Shun.
Hydranoid and Alice were gathering fruit to have lunch. "So, Alice, what's up with you and Shun?" Hydranoid suddenly asked. "Huh? Oh! N-Nothing at all!" she talked nervously. "Come on! Like a Bakugan can't be curious," Hydranoid said, still pushing. "I...I'm not really sure," Alice mumbled. She went back to their place and sat. Shun came to her. "It's lunch," Alice said. "Okay," He said. They ate their lunch quietly.
That afternoon, the brawlers went on their search for Alice and Shun. "Their not in the city, Runo," Dan said. "Well...Let's keep on looking!" Runo urged. "But, I-I'm...tired," Julie said. "We can't give up now!!" Runo yelled. "Okay okay," Marucho called. "Oh, I hope Skyress and Hydranoid are alright," Drago said. "Oh, they will be. They are two strong Bakugan," Tigrerra said. "Well, let's not give up!" Preyas said. "Let's hit the gas, shall we?" Angelio said. They went all day around the city.
It was night already and Shun and Alice finished their dinner. "The dance was supposed to be today," Shun thought, "Maybe, I should ask her now," He looked at Alice. He walked over to her and held her hand. "Shun?" Alice eyed him with a blush. "Will you...Will you dance with me?" Shun finally said. "Right here? Right now?" Alice asked, surprise in her voice. "Yes..." Shun said quietly.

Alice took Shun's hand. "Okay," was her last word. Shun can feel her soft, gentle hands. He took her closer, their noses touching. Alice placed her hands on top of Shun's shoulder. Shun's hand on Alice hair. They began to dance. They took advantage of the space they were in. Skyress and Hydranoid watched them in awe.
"Let's try the forest," Julie said. They were in the forest not far from home. They were walking and walking until...
Shun and Alice were dancing and dancing, their eyes locked to each other until...
"Alice! Shun!" Runo screamed.
