Here's the next drabble, my last for today. I know Shun's mother gave him Skyress, but this idea just popped up...

"Shun?"

Shun Kazami ignored the sweet voice coming from outside his window. He gazed out at the stars, zoning everything out, the crickets chirping, the owls hooting, the light breeze...suddenly, he was snapped out of his trance by a warm hand shaking his shoulder. He turned slightly to identify the intruder, to find that a certain orange-haired girl had crept, once again, into his home. He was surprised, however, at the late hour she had chosen. Alice Gehabich was never one to intrude...

"Yes?" Once again, his usual cold, one-syllable greeting. She smiled warmly at him. "I have something for you."

He turned towards her fully, eyes showing disinterest, but he played along. "What is it?"

"Close your eyes."

He obeyed. A few seconds passed.

"Alright, you can open them now."

He opened his eyes slowly and looked down at her outstretched hand. Sitting in her palm was a Bakugan. She was Ventus, and seemed to be a bird of some kind. Alice placed the Bakugan in his palm gently. "Meet Ventus Skyress."
