Bleh... this doesn't really fit the theme of Love, but oh well... I'll try and do better next chapter.
Now, onto the sto... I mean, disclaimer :)

love; n. an intense emotional attachment
Alice had been gone for a couple of days, and things felt like they were back to normal. But something was wrong. He still stopped by the chatroom whenever he felt like it, but somehow it didn't feel right. It felt like something was missing.

He wanted to tell Alice to stay. But something froze him in place. Maybe it was the shock of finding out that Masquerade; their worst enemy, the one they had been fighting all along; was their friend Alice.
"Well, you proved one thing: Masquerade knew where to find us; because you were him." His words came out icy and cold. He had trusted her; now that trust seemed to all fade away.
Tears began to streak down her face, and while Shun wished that he could take those words back, he also wanted her to pay for what she had done as Masquerade.
As Alice turned to leave, he should have told her to stay; but instead, he just let her go. The feeling of betrayal was too much for him to handle.

He shouldn't have cared that Alice was gone. After all, she was the one who had been sending all the Bakugan to the Doom Dimension. And she was the one trying to take over both worlds with the help of Naga and Hal-G. Yet something pulled at his heart.
Why did he care? Why did the feeling of losing Alice hurt so much?
He didn't realise that over time, they had become more than just friends.
He didn't realise that their friendship had grown into something more powerful: love.
Next chapter is M for Marriage. Don't expect an update for a while, I'm a little stuck on how to do this theme.
