I was about to go to my girlfriend Runo's house to pick her up. We were going to the park where we first met for our anniversary. I rang the bell and out she came - Runo. She looked beautiful.

"Hi Runo " I said.

"Hi Dan" she replied.

"You ready to go?" I asked her

"More than ever!" she replied.

We both went to the park , holding hands. The sun was about to set in a few hours. Runo stopped , pointing at two lovebirds. "They look adorable! Just like us! " she said.

"I know. But I think we're the best couple there is" I replied.

She blushed.

We continued our walk to the park. I remembered the place . That time , Runo and I were kids. She was new to the city. I was playing baseball when the ball fell in front of her. "Hey kid! Throw the ball!" I said. "I have a name ! And it's Runo , you pipsqueak!" she replied and threw the ball to me. We started playing and at the end of the day , I had to leave. But I knew we were going to meet again. And I was right. The game of Bakugan came along . My friend Joe created a website for the game and I met Runo again in the chatroom. But little did I know that we both lived in the same city AND that her father was the owner of my favourite eating joint. We reached the park and we both sat down.

"Do you remember Dan?" she asked me.

"Of course I remember! This is just where we met , Runo!" I replied.

"It was so fast! I never caught your name when we were little. But I'm glad we met again!" She said.

"I love you Runo" I said.

"I love you , too , Dan" she replied.

We kissed

"You found anything about the others?" Runo asked me.

I turned a little sad. I tried to put on a smile but Runo found out. I just shook my head.

When we were all 17(except Marucho , who was 15) , each of the battle brawlers just moved to other towns. Marucho moved to New York , Julie moved in with her boyfriend Billy and my best friend Shun and Alice moved to an apartment in the west mountains in Moscow. We never heard anything about each other , ever since. (It's been a year since that happened so me and Runo are 18)

"Sorry for bringing that up..." Runo apologised

"It's fine." I replied.

We spent the rest of the time , chatting and a wee bit of smooches.

Soon , the sun was about to set. Runo kept her head on my shoulder as we watched the sunset and moonrise together , in silence.

We didn't need to talk. The bond we shared could even be felt when we didn't speak.

A few minutes later , the Stars were shining. Then I realised that Runo was too quiet. I turned my attention towards her and I saw that she was sleeping.

I laid her down on my lap.

I took my phone and dialled her father's number.

"Mr. Misaki , Runo's sleeping so can I take her to my apartment?" I asked him

"Sure , Dan!" her replied and cut the phone.

I grinned. I lifted Runo's head a little and carried her bridal style . My appartment wasn't far off from the park so I just walked there with Runo in my arms.

It was a good thing that the security guard opened my door for me , or else I couldn't have opened it myself.

I carried Runo straight to my bedroom and tucked her in bed. I went back , thanked the security guard and locked my door. I wasn't that tired so I decided to finish my work . I had a job in the business department and I had to file out a report on the company sales.

I finished my work in an hour. I looked at the time and it was almost 10:30 . So , I went to my bedroom to sleep. I had to wake up early to drop Runo tomorrow . I kissed Runo's forehead .

"Goodnight Runo" I whispered and I went to sleep.
