Me- Time to get this started!

Dan * yawns * Too tired….

Runo- Oh, shut up!

Baron- Eyes for Colt only does not own Bakugan!

Me- On with the search party!

Dan's POV

I shut my locker closed and locked it. I heard someone whimpering. I turned around and came face-to-face with Baron. Baron had those puppy dog eyes and he was whimpering.

" Dan, do you know where Mira is?" he asked.

I did my signature nose flick. " I have no clue! Ask Ace!" I said. Baron thanked me, and ran over to Ace. I smirked and walked to Science.

" Baron's just wasting his precious time." I thought. When I walked into class, Runo ran to me, and bombarded me with questions.

" Where's Mira? Have you seen her?" she asked me. I looked at her.

" She's acting kinda suspicious…I wonder….." I thought to myself.

" I don't know, and I haven't seen her." I answered both of Runo's questions. At just that time, Baron came running straight towards me. I stepped out of the way, and he landed on top of Runo. I flicked my nose again.

" DAN KUSO? And, Baron! Get off of me!" Runo exclaimed as she pushed Baron off and walked to Julie and Billy, who were previously making out in the corner.

" Master Dan? Ace said that she didn't know where she went. He said that Runo might know." Baron explained.

" RUNO? WHAT HAPPENED TO MIRA?" I yelled at the top of my lungs. Runo turned around and looked at me with a surprised look on her face.

" Oh, Mira? Well you see, she left for the other side of London." Runo said sheepishly. ( Note: I made a typo in Chapter 7: It was supposed to be on the other side of London, not by the bridge to Sydney. My story was held in London, so I have no idea why I put Sydney! )

" SHE DID WHAT?" everyone exclaimed as we all stared at Runo, bug-eyed.

" Mira?" I called out. It was after school, and we were all searching for Mira.

" Mira?" Runo cupped her hands, and yelled out Mira's name.

" Master Mira? Where are you?" Baron called out.

" Guys! I swear on Drago- - - " I began to say, but was cut off as Drago gave me a dark look.

" You swear on who?" he grumbled.

I sighed. " I swear on Drago that we're never going to find Mira! You know how good at hide-and-seek she is! She could be anywhere!" I exclaimed, throwing my hands up in the air.

" I thought you said my name." Drago muttered to himself.

" Dan? Don't you realize that this is the real world? She could get lost easily! This is not Billy's shack downtown in Teddington!" Julie exclaimed, shaking me violently.

" Okay! Sheesh..." I trailed off as I saw a redhead going into a library that was across the street.

" Guys! That might be Mira! I know that baby blue backpack anywhere!" Ace exclaimed as he raced across the street. We all followed in suit, wanting to see if that girl was Mira.

" Guys! We need to- - - " I was cut off as the librarian shushed me.

" Whisper!" the librarian whispered to me.

" Okay. Sorry," I whispered back to the librarian. " Anyway, what I was saying was that we should split up." I whispered to my friends.

" Okay. I'm good with that." Billy whispered/agreed. We all went to different aisles in the library. I went down the aisle that had tons of atlases and audiobooks. The girl was right by the end of the aisle, looking at magazines. My heart suddenly stopped beating. The girl looked at me in shock.

" Dan?" she rasped. I was in complete shock.

" Mira?" I whispered/exclaimed. At just that time, my friends came racing to my aisle.

" Mira, where have you been?" Ace whispered/asked sternly.

" Ace, are you trying to mock my father?" I asked.

" No! I don't even know your father!" Ace whispered/exclaimed.

" Mira, please come back! What you did was horrible." Runo whispered/pleaded.

" I'll come back, but the only reason I ran away in the first place was because of my father." Mira whispered/stated.

" Your father?" Ace asked, although he looked like he knew what she meant.

" Can you tell us?" Billy asked.

" I'll tell you when you reach my place." Mira said as she led us out of the library and across the street to her house.

Me- Finally, I'm finished!

Ace- How long did it even take you?

Me- Three days, I'm guessing?

Dan- Bad author!

Me- Shut up! * whacks Dan with a atlas that weighed about 450 lbs. *

Dan- * has stars in his eyes and faints *

Mira- Please review! =)
