An Athlete Named Dan
Young Dan Kuso had already introduced himself to the class before getting changed in the change room with the other boys. No one said anything to him while he was changing with them, they just looked at him which creeped him out a lot.
But, two other students looked at him with positive faces and smiles. One had a bit of long black hair with peach skin and brown eyes, while the other student was surprisingly short, he looked like he was the high if a six year old, but his voice made him sound like ten year old when he was actually third teen. Dan didn't say anything thing because he didn't want to be rude, which is what Pan has taught him and his 'siblings' over the years. This kid had yellow blonde hair, wore red glasses, had blue eyes, and had peach skin like the other student.
Both of the smiled at Dan while everyone was in the changing room, while other boys shot jealous glances at him for his six ton abs!
Over the years, Dan has trained hard with his 'brothers' and 'sister' to push his skills as a hero, martial artist, and Bakguan battler, to the limits and beyond. He and Ash always liked going against each other in lots of things, which includes getting stronger muscles and abs. It was starting to look like he and Ketchum over did it a little with all the glances that he was getting.
Now that he and the others were out of the change room and into uniform, the coach was having them do sit ups and push ups to start to first class of the year. Dan was doing all if them with no problem, he was able to do ten push ups in six seconds.
The coach was impressed, "Well done, Kuso. You have the skills of a true athlete, unlike these couch potatos" he said while looking at the other students.
After about fifteen minutes, the boys were now doing a bit of stretching to get their bodies in good condition.
"Alright! Today we're going to get ourselves into running condition so that one of you will be able to race against a girl from the gym class next door, so we need to keep our running selfs in check!" announced the coach.
"Wait! One of us will be racing a girl?" asked a random student.
"Yes, and don't think that we need to do a little training because we're going to be training to make sure we beat them!" replied the coach.
The boys were frustrated, evertime that they go against one of the girls in the next door class they always get a bit arrogant and end up losing because of their own pride. The coach dose train them well, but the boys end up making fools of themselves in the end.
The only girl that that boys always get serious on is and girl named Runo Misaki, she was the fastest runner and always wins when running against the boys, but no matter how hard the boys practice, they can never seem to keep up with Runo.
However, one of the boys that was being positive towards Dan as a new student is named Shun, he had trained so hard that he had tied with Runo about two months ago during the last gym class of elementary school before Summer!
He and Runo were so close until he started to pick up speed and ended up crossing the finish line at the same time as Runo down. Ever since then, his been training to get faster so that he could beat her and help the boys win at least one victory against her and her class.
(1 Hour Later)
The boys have been doing breathing exercises, running laps out in the field, stretching, and push ups for the last 60 minutes. They felt like they were ready for Runo this time!
Not long are they finished training, the girl's phys ed class came out to the track, they were all looking at Dan! Since he was a new student, the girls haven't seen him before.
"Ok, are the runners ready?" asked the coach.
"Ready?" replied the runners. It was Dan against Runo, he was sure he could beat her.
Runo looked over at Dan next to her, 'This Dan kid doesn't look bad, he seems like a good runner. And his kind of cute!' she thought.
"Go!" called the coach.
(Sonic Colours: Reach For The Stars)
Dan and Runo sprinted off down the track and started to race for the first place position, they looked at each other and Dan smiled, causing Runo to smile back.
'He seems like a nice guy, and he runs fast too!' she thought.
Take off at the speed of sound
Dan and Runo neck and neck, the race was three laps and they have 2 and 3/4 to do.
Bright lights, colours all around
Runo starts to pull ahead a bit.
I'm running wild living fast and free
The boys already start to worry.
Got no regrets inside of me
Dan started to close in.
Not looking back
Dan is in the lead.
Not giving up
The boys' eyes widen at the sight and start to cheer.
Not letting go
Dan crosses the finish line and wins the first lap!
I keep on running
Dan and Runo are now even in speed.
I'm gonna reach for the stars
Dan gets more speed and is now ahead.
Although they look pretty far
Dan stays ahead for a few seconds until Runo pass him.
I'm gonna find my own way
Dan stays behind Runo for a bit until they pass the finish line again, this time Runo won, which means that the final lap decides the winner.
And take a chance on today
The boys started to cheer on Dan to go faster.
The sky with stars so bright
Girls cheering for Runo.
The colours feel so right
Dan starts to pass Runo.
I've never felt like this
Dan is in the lead.
I keep on running
Runo trys to catch up.
The sky with stars so bright
Dan slows down a bit.
The colours feel so right
Runo and Dan are neck in neck!
Just take my hand we're gonna reach for the stars tonight
Dan rockets forward and passes the finish line first
(Song Ends)
Runo passes after Dan and is too tired to stand, she was about to fall to her knees when someone caught her. She looked up and saw Dan holding her so she wouldn't fall.
"Thanks, you really fast!" she said.
"Thanks, you were great out there, we sure run together sometime!" he replied.
"Thanks, I'd like that" she said while blushing.
Before the boys were going to congratulate Dan for winning, but now everyone just saw Dan and Runo have a moment together, it was Dan's first day at school and already he and a girl have a connect with each other.
Near the school close to the track was Lucy! She was getting leaves for and experiment that Mr. Makarov and Natsu wanted to see the class with fire. She was about to head in when she saw period 1 gym boys and girls returning from the track.
She saw a new boy that she have never seen before, he had brown hair, brown eyes, peach skin, and was regularly tall for his age.
She listened to the conversation between him and the other boys, he was talking about how he was able to run so fast. He said that his name was Dan, and that he had been a Bakugan battler and runner for years. He said that his running skills come from racing against his friends Ash, Naruto, and Natsu!
'This guy knows Natsu! I guess he and Natsu and this Ash and Naruto guys have been friends for a long time I'll ask Natsu once I get to class' thought Lucy. She then started to walk back to her class before it ended for period 2.
Dan and the other boys headed back to their gym room, while the girls left for their gym room. Dan and the other boys got changed again into their normal clothes, after that before the bell rang, the coach came up to Dan to talk.
"You did really well out there Dan, thanks and welcome to Epic High School!" he said.
Thanks, coach. Glad to be coming here!" replied Dan.
Soon, the bell rang to give the students the ok to leave. Dan started to walk out the door to his period 2 class, he knew he had 15 minutes, but he just wanted to try and find it without the schedule sheet to see how he could do.
Cut!
Sorry I mad this chapter short as well, but I can't write too much about school things because I can't think on how to make something like school subjects excited.
I'll try harder next time. For now, what do you think about me putting the Sonic Coluors thing on during the race?
Just a little for shadowing, I'll be putting more songs on during small events like that in the future, so get excited about that.
Next, I want to know how much some of you know about Bakugan by answering this question,
Who are the two boys that had a positive feeling of Dan in the change room?
*Hint* They are Dan's friends/partners in the series.
Finally, I'll be do deciding who the next chapter is about since no one voted, I'll make sure to have it about in some time around the first week of August.
Hope you guys enjoyed, peace out!
