Yay! Anyway, I think this is my 6th Pucca fanfic (If not please correct me) Now lets celebrate with some chapter story, shall we?
DISCLAIMER: I do not own Pucca, and this story is in Garu's P.O.V. (also please bear with me)
Thank you!
-----------------------------------------
When did I ever stop believing in Santa Claus? Well, I never really believed in the guy really, my parents never told me he even existed in the first place. I only knew about him through other people. I guess I just kind of backed off the subject most of the time. (Until, however when I moved to Sooga Village, I noticed Santa DID exist, but let's move on.)
However, it took me more time for me to stop believing in paranormal objects like aliens, time-travelers, and espers in those effects-filled 'good guys versus evil organization' cartoons. No, wait, I probably did know they didn't exist; I just didn't want to admit it. I guess, deep somewhere in my being I wished that those paranormal objects did exist. Compared to the strange life I have right now and the sort of action-like life; I want to live in that world too!
I wanted to be the one who saved the girl kidnapped by aliens and imprisoned in a bowl-like fortress. I wanted to be the one who used my courage, intelligence and trusty laser gun to fight against villains from the future trying to change history for their own gain. I wanted to be someone who could banish demons and monsters with a single spell, battle against mutants or psychics from evil organizations, and engage in telepathic fights!
But wait, slow down, if stuff like that ever happened, how would I be able to fight back? I don't have any special hidden powers!
Well then, how about this: one day, this guy moves in to Sooga village, and appears to be a normal human being. Except he's really an alien incognito or from the future, and he has telepathic abilities. When he gets into fights, I'll find a way to get involved in them. He'll handle all the fighting and I can just be his sidekick! Yes...
Or maybe, if that doesn't work, how about this: one day, I just happen to realize that I had this special power inside of me. I discover that there are more people like me. I'll become part of this organization and protect the world against evil mutants.
Unfortunately, reality is surprisingly cruel... No one moved in to Sooga for the past 6 months. I've never seen a UFO. When I went to places that were rumored to be haunted, ghosts or monsters never showed up. Two hours of intense staring didn't make my pencil move a single millimeter, and glaring at someone's head didn't reveal his thoughts to me either. I couldn't help but get depressed at how normal the laws of physics were. I began to stop watching for UFOs and paying attention to paranormal rumors because I finally convinced myself it was impossible.
After the first year of junior high, I eventually grew out of that fantasy world and came to accept reality. I suppose, from the way things are looking, that I'll be long dead before you can book a round trip from Earth to Alpha Centauri.
And with that kind of stuff over and done with, I never got to the thought of paranormal objects ever again. Until, that particular day.
