katzike123: I didn't really like Ren at first, but then I started adding him to my stories. I saw the battle between him and Fabia and he doesn't seem that bad. Anyways, sorry I'm talking too much.
Shadowjinx: I'm really glad you liked the first chapter. Sorry for the grammar mistakes, sometimes I type too fast and then I forget I typed it again…

Shun: You're talking a lot today…
Me: I know =)
Shun: Alright then…
Dan: HELLOOOOOOOO EVERYONE! Remember me?
Me: How could they not?
Shun: You've gotten meaner.
Me: I learn from the best.
Dan: Who me?
Me: Sure… let's go with that. Anyways, get ready for my second chapter but first, a little review of what happened last time!
Shun and Alice remembers the time they had spent with each other.
Alice is still avoiding Shun.
Shun ends up saving her from being killed by a car.
Alice then goes to Shun's house and seems to see Ren in the flames of Shun's fireplace.
She decides to stay for the night since there was a blizzard.
DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN BAKUGAN!
Alice's P.O.V.
"How does this look?" Julie asked as she came out of the fitting room. We were at the mall and Julie was trying to choose out a dress for the Valentine's Day prom. She had so many at home but she said that Billy and she had taken their dating to a new level. They had gotten a lot closer.
It looks great, I complimented. It was kind of frilly so it was definitely something I wouldn't wear but it looked good on Julie. Then Runo came out of the fitting room.
"Why won't this stupid zipper zip!" she screamed. I got up from where I was sitting to go help her.
Turn around and I'll help you, I offered. She gave a quick nod and turned around. I helped her zip up and then Dan and Shun came in.
"Wow…" Dan gasped as he stared at Runo. She started blushing.
"Oh my gosh! Runo's blushing!" Julie squealed as she went back to the fitting rooms to try on another dress.
"Why aren't you trying something on?" Shun asked me.
I don't know… I answered him truthfully. Then he let us and came back with a dress in his hands.
"Here," he smirked and pushed me into a fitting room. I looked at the dress. It was simple, just the way I liked it. This dress only went up to my knees. It was black like the one I had last year. It had long sleeves but they were see-through in a way. It was like a net and had pretty patterns. It went around my arms, shoulders and stopped at my chest. (The net part is kind of like a long sleeve shirt) From there, it was a black strapless dress with a different material, kind of like velvet. I tried it on and it fit perfectly. I took a deep breath and walked out of the fitting room.
Well… what do you guys think? Dan and Shun stared at me as if I was an alien. Runo and Julie both stopped to stare too. Julie was in a hot pink dress… typical Julie. It had strings that went around her neck to support it since it was strapless. Runo was in a navy blue dress. It went pass her knees by a bit. They had straps but they weren't just any straps. It had a pretty pattern on them, kind of like flowers. It also happened to the dress below her waist.
Are you guys alright? I asked worriedly.
Shun's P.O.V.
Alice looked stunning. The dress fitted her perfectly. It really brought out her beauty since her skin was pale and her hair was orange. It made her look delicate and beautiful. I was going to tell her but quickly stopped myself when I realized that we weren't' dating anymore. I decided to take the chance to ask her out again.
"Alice, you look…" I started but was cut off.
"… beautiful," someone finished for me. I turned around and saw a guy from our school standing there. His name was Jacob but everyone called him Jake. I glared at him as he came forward and kissed Alice's hand. Everyone was still surprised but about what Jake just did.
Oh… thanks, Alice signed. I didn't know if it was just me or if I saw disappointment in her eyes.
"I heard you haven't got a date for the dance yet," he continued. Yeah right… Well she did reject a lot of people but still what makes him think he's the one? "I was wondering if you would like to go with me," I knew he was going to ask but I was still surprised.
Well… umm… Alice didn't know what to say. I saw her glance at me. I turned away so she wouldn't' sense my jealousy.
"Thanks for giving me this chance," I heard Jake say. Alice must have decided to go with him. I didn't turn back to look at her reaction or for her to see mine. I could feel the tension in the room. Julie was extremely quiet especially since a couple just got together. I was angry, mostly at myself.
"I'll see you at school then," Jake said his goodbye to everyone but they were all still speechless. When he left I felt everyone relax.
"So, how about we go pay," Julie suggested. I watched as the three girls went back to their fitting rooms. I took the chance to leave.
"Shun, where are you going?" Dan asked.
"I'm going for a little walk. I'll meet you guys in the food court," I stated bluntly. I took a look at where Alice's fitting room was. I jumped a bit because I didn't know she didn't go back in yet. She looked upset but I ignored it and left. It didn't matter where I went, as long as I didn't have to see Alice.
Alice's P.O.V.
Why did I say yes to Jake? My brain told me to accept but my heart told me that I still loved Shun, but there was something about Jake that couldn't make me refuse. Was it the way her asked? Was it the way her looked? No… it was his eyes. They looked so soft; it reminded me of Shun's. His weren't honey brown but they were close to the same colour.
"Let's go to the shop next door," Julie nudged me as she said it. I just gave a quick nod and we were on our way after we paid. Everyone was exceptionally quiet. I suddenly stopped and they all turned to me.
What's wrong? I asked them. I had to know. Dan and Billy shifted uncomfortably while Julie pretended to be looking at clothes. I stared at Runo.
"Well… it's just that…" Runo started.
"… I was hungry and then Runo started yelling at me," he lied. Everyone added a nod or some yeses. We decided to go to the food court. I scanned the crowd to see if Shun was there.
"So what you guys want?" Julie asked as she looked at all the fast food stores. Dan had already went to buy food and when Julie was about to go, he had already come back.
"Dan Kuso! What is wrong with you? You want everyone else to starve?" Runo yelled at him. He had more than 4 trays of food.
"Umm… no… umm… these are for all of us?" he recovered. Runo seemed to calm down a bit when he said that.
"At least you're starting to care," she stated as she took a French fry. Billy decided to go look for Julie incase they might start arguing again and there would be a food fight. I smiled as he quickly ran away and Runo and Dan started arguing about something else. I wasn't listening because I was too busy thinking about Shun and Jake.
Shun's P.O.V.
I walked around the mall and stopped at a jewelry store. I stood outside and looked at all the necklaces and stuff. I took out the one in my pocket and flipped it over. I read the words over and over again to myself. Should I return it? She didn't love me anymore and it was just proven. I looked inside and saw happy couples sitting with each other. They were all looking at Valentine's Day necklaces. I was going to push open the door but stopped myself. My heart for once, had control over my brain. It told me that Alice and I were made for each other. I left the store and continued walking on. If Alice didn't realize this, I would help her.
"Am I being selfish?" I asked myself.
"Aw what's wrong?" someone asked as she came and grabbed on to my arm.
"Let go Victoria," I told her. She was this annoying fan-girl that had been crushing on me since I came to Wardington High School.
"What's that you're holding there?" she questioned curiously and snatched it away. I was still kind of shocked at the fact that she was grabbing on to me like a puppy dog (By he way, I just adore dogs!) and she appeared out of thin air.
"Give that back!" I commanded. She ignored me and danced around with it.
"I love you –Shun," she read out loud then she gave a disapproving look, "Didn't she break up with you?"
"It's none of your business," I said angrily as I took the necklace back.
"You know, there are lots of fish in the sea," she smiled.
"Yeah whatever…"
"You want to go to the prom with me?" she asked. I stared at her as if she was crazy but then again, Alice moved on. I shook my head as I realized what I was doing… well thinking. Just minutes ago, I was so sure Alice and I were meant for each other.
"No… I'm sorry," I said and left her.
"Think about, okay?" she yelled happily. I didn't get her at all. I just rejected her and she still sounded happy. I decided to go to the food court. It was huge but it wasn't hard at all to find Alice and the others. Their table had a humongous stack of food and trays… Dan. As I walked closer I realized that the tension was still there even though Dan and Runo were still arguing. It was a different kind of arguing. My eyes landed on Alice. She was sitting there quietly deep in thought. I wondered about what… probably Jake. She looked absolutely beautiful even though she wasn't in the dress anymore. She was just in a pair of jeans, a t-shirt and a sweater. Even if she was in rags, I would have thought she looked stunning.
"Shun are you just going to stand there?" Dan asked. I continued walking but my eyes never left Alice. I sat down and she didn't even hear me approach.
"We really should get going," Runo suggested.
"Yeah, Billy and Julie ditched us to go watch a movie," Dan added sounding hurt.
Alright, let's go. Alice said. We all looked at her surprised and she had a confused look on her.
What's wrong? She asked us.
"Umm… nothing. Let's just go," I said as I stood up. We all decided to chill at the Misaki Café for a while. We were at our usual booth. Runo was busy fetching some food for Dan and Alice was busy with planning the prom. She had a clipboard in one hand and a pen in the other.
Alice's P.O.V.
I sat on one of those high chairs with the really long tables. I was biting my pen while thinking about the prom. Runo was busy making something for Dan. She was putting random things into a sandwich and muttering to herself.
"Can you believe that Dan? He's going to eat my whole fridge!" she complained as she sat down beside me.
Don't worry, he doesn't have that big of an appetite I said.
"You should see him! He definitely does!" she half yelled.
Oh well… What decorations should we have this year? I asked her.
"It would be so cool if we could hold it at a fancier place," Runo suggested.
That's true… our gym isn't the best place, I agreed with her but where else could we hold it?
"I have to go give this sandwich to Dan, brb," I watched her as she went to Dan. She started yelling at him and he started yelling back. I wish Shun and I would be like that… well not the yelling part. I sat there thinking about Shun instead of the prom and didn't get much work done. Soon I got so tired of hearing Dan and Runo yelling that I fell asleep even though it was loud.
Me: I know that was a weird ending but I had to end it somehow. It is also shorter than usual. Sorry about that also. I am hoping that the next chapter would be longer =) Also, I shooed away the brawlers so I could talk to you guys. I read what ThatbloodyTartarusand there was some swearing in it. I am really sorry about that readers because I'm not sure if that counts as abuse and I just don't like reporting people… I was feeling down before but thanks to JazzGirl123 everything is better now =). Thanks so much! Well, if any of you are uncomfortable about it just tell me. I think there's a delete button somewhere and I'll find it just for you =) Thanks so much everyone I really appreciate all the nice reviews and seeing you guys review for more than one of my stories makes me feel more confident… trust me, I am the really paranoid type of people… Yeah anyways, thanks again and I will update soon! Please review and comment! =) You guys are the best!
