Ami,Yumi,and Kaz belong to Cartoon Network.

Koja,Sakura,Yukio,and Donjo belong to ShadowTheHedgehog92 (me).

This fic uses the animated versions of Ami and Yumi,not the actual people.

FOREWORD: 'ello to you all. It has taken me SUCH a long time to update this old thing, the reason for this I will explain: When I first planned this fic out, it was going to be all about Koja and Sakura's (mostly Koja's) attempts to fill Ami and Yumi's shoes, and it was going to span their entire lives (well, at least until their adulthood).

However...

I began to use Koja and Sakura in other stories, and in all these stories they remained about 4 years old. This started to cause continuity problems with the original storyline, so I had to figure out a way to fix this. I eventually decided to make the whole thing about Koja and Sakura as adults a separate (future) story, and also get rid of some the characters and plot elements I wasn't satisfied with (such as Kichu, Sakura's younger brother, who had not even made his appearence in the story yet when I decided to get rid of him because (1) He was incompatible with the real Puffy's canon [well, this WAS inspired by the real Puffy after all and (2) He just didn't work.)

So, lament my changes if you must, but just be grateful I updated this thing after so long.

Now, proceed.

CHAPTER ONE:

It was a seemingly uninteresting day on the Puffy Bus. Well,not really,because Ami's husband Donjo was there.

He and Ami were discussing things,calling people on their cell phones,and playing with their 4-month old daughter,Sakura. They seemed to be having a good time,and they were completely oblivious to the discord that was going on in Yumi's room.

''For the last time,Yukio,what they say is wrong!''Yumi shouted.

Yukio,Yumi's husband,looked at her steely-eyed. ''Every newspaper and magazine says the same thing, Yumi.'' He said, ''If there are so many out there who beleive you're having an affair, then it must be true!''

''Yukio,please...it's not what you think!'' And she was telling the truth. The rumor was false; Yukio was taking it much too seriously.

''In fact,I'm beginning to have doubts that's my child you're pregnant with!'' Yukio said angrily, pointing at Yumi's stomach.

'' It is, you idiot!'' Yumi shouted back at him.

''You know what?'' Yukio said,sounding much angrier than before. ''Forget it! I don't want to see you again if all you're going to do is lie to me!''

''I'm not lying!'' Yumi said. She was starting to cry somewhat.

''Forget it!'' Yukio shouted again. And with that,he stormed out of Yumi's room and slammed the door,left the bus,then drove off in his car.

Yumi knew what this all meant. She'd have to get through everything on her own now.

Or so she thought.

''Ummm...Yumi?'' Ami asked. ''I heard the door slamming...is everything okay with you and Yukio?''

Yumi looked at her sadly. ''I'm afraid not.''

Ami thought this over,and all the noise and shouting she heard...it started to make sense. Realizing what had happened,she hugged Yumi. ''Well...we're still here for you, you know,'' She said

Yumi looked at her,and she also noticed that Donjo (with Sakura) and Kaz had come in her room with Ami.

I guess Ami's right, Yumi thought, smiling.
