Dan's POV:

I went down stairs and put my hand on the doorknob.

"Who is it, Daniel?" My mom asked

"I don't know. I didn't opened the door yet." I said to her with an attitude.

"Watch it Dan!" She warned me.

"Sorry mom." I said as I opened the door. It was Julie and Marucho.

"Hey guys!" I said with a big smile.

"Hi Dan!" They both said as they came in. Julie hugged me. I kept my arms down.

"Oh, Dan." She said with a sigh. I felt supper awkward. I just let her hug me though.

"Yeah, uh…Julie…let's just go up stairs." I said as nicely as I could. Why do they keep doing this? She let go and then wrapped her arm around mine. I looked at her and laughed nervously. I was just hoping that Runo doesn't fight her again. When we got into the room, Alice and Runo were still playing. Runo paused the game and looked at Julie. Julie gasped.

"Hi Runo. What a coincidence." She said with a smile. Runo shoved the remote in Shun's hands. She got up and walked towards Julie and me. Julie gripped my arm tighter. It hurt like heck! Runo grabbed onto my right arm.

"Come on Dan. You do want to play the game right?" She asked with a smile. Julie growled.

"Please don't fight." I said quickly under my breath.

"Oh, no one's gonna fight…yet." Runo said as she stared at Julie. Julie stuck out her tongue at Runo. Runo did the same. I shook my arm's out of theirs.

"I'm gonna go play the game." I said as I side stepped towards Shun. He looked at me and then laughed.

"Shut up!" I whispered at him. Marucho grabbed the controller from Alice.

"Can I play Alice?" He asked her.

"Sure." She said as she went over to Runo and Julie. All three girls started to have a conversation. I grabbed the other controller from Shun.

"Why are you in a hurry to play? All you gonna do is lose." He said laughing.

"Ha! Ha! Really funny. That's why you suck eggs." I said to him.

"You're the one who sucks the eggs! Not me!" Shun said laughing again. Marucho laughed too. I was heated.

"Whatever Shun. You'll see when I beat you after this." I said to him.

"That's it! I challenge you to a bakugan battle!" Runo yelled out of nowhere. Shun, Marucho, and I looked to see what happened. Runo was pointing at Julie. Julie was as angry as Runo was. I looked at Alice, and she looked super confused.

"What's going on?" Marucho asked.

"I don't know." Alice said with her hands up. Runo and Julie ran out of the house. The rest of us followed.

"Field open!" We all said together. I sat on the ground. Shun sat next to Alice on my right and Marucho sat to my left.

"Gate card set!" Runo yelled.

"Wait! I thought you two didn't battle anymore?" I asked them. They looked at me.

"Oh yeah." They said as they looked at each other.

"What do we do now?" Julie asked. I looked at Marucho. Marucho shrugged and then looked at Shun. Shun stood up.

"Bakugan brawl!" He yelled as he threw Wavern on the gate card.

"Wavern stand! Crush that gate card, and end this battle!" He called to her. Wavern smashed her tail on the gate card and broke it. Marucho pressed some stuff on his watch.

"This should do the trick." He said as he pressed the final button. The field was gone and they were back in front of Dan's house.

"Aaaaaaah!" Julie yelled as she attacked Runo. Runo was caught off guard and got knocked down. They started smacking each other. Runo pushed Julie off of her. Shun, Marucho, and I just watched.

"Take this!" Runo said as she smacked the spit out of Julie mouth. Julie held her face where Runo smacked her.

"How dare you?" She said looking surprised.

"How dare you?" Runo said back to her. Julie smacked the spit out of Runo's mouth. Runo held her face.

"Uh uh! No you didn't!" She said as she attacked Julie. They started smacking each other again.

"I'll get your mom." Alice said to me.

"Get popcorn too!" I called to her. Shun nudged me.

"No. Get nachos!" He said. All us boys laughed as we watched the fight.

"This is very interesting." Shun said with a smirk.

"Why do they always fight around me though?" I asked Shun. He shrugged his shoulders and kept watching the fight. I saw Julie reach for the sleeve on Runo's shirt.

"Oh yeah!" I yelled out. Before she could rip the shirt off, my mother came out the house. Bummer!

"You girls get off each other and act like ladies!" My mom yelled. Shun and I got scared. Marucho just looked at my mom.

"Yeah. Act like ladies!" I said folding my arms and acting all serious. My mom slapped me on the back of my head.

"Shame on you Daniel!" She said to me.

"Ow ma! What did I do?" I asked. Shun and Marucho laughed under their breath.

"That's for not stopping the fight!" She said as she pulled me in the house by my ear.

"Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow! My ear. My ear. My ear." I said as I walked in the house behind my mom. I heard Shun and Marucho bust out laughing.
