This is just a one shot, about Tart and Purin. So cute!!!

Where could he be?

Purin sat in her room, she was not upset, but a little disappointed. She had been waiting for Tart to come back and see her, but so far there was no such luck.

They enjoyed playing together, the two. Some of their favourite games included Hide and seek, tag, and Hop Hop Bunny's. Which was basically leapfrog, but it was a little different.

He was her best friend, they never fell out with each other and they never were late when they were going to meet up. So where was he.

Purin was starting to get worried now. She sat up on her bed, and stared out of the window for a bit. Suddenly, there was a loud Knock at her door. She wandered over and opened it. There in front of her stood Tart.

"Sorry I'm late", he said, breathing heavily. "I tried to get here as soon as I could, but Kish started talking to me and I just couldn't get away.

"It's ok, as long as you're here, that's all that matters," Purin replied.

They ran down the stairs and out of the door, Purin couldn't wait too get started on her favourite game of all. Hide and seek.

"I'll count and you hide," she said to tart, "Ready.. Go. One…two.. three….twenty nine.. Thirty. Coming ready or not," Purin shouted.

She looked in all the usual hiding places. Behind the tree, under the bush (they were both small enough to fit under there, so it was an obvious place to look), in the shed and in the small gap which was just big enough to fit a little person and a lot of weeds, which was at the right side of the house. But he was nowhere to be seen.

She looked for him until it she got tired. She had been all round the town and still he wasn't there.

"Tart," she called. "Tart, where are you?

Purin was beginning to get worried now. She cared a lot about Tart, but she had never been as worried as this before. She ran to the café. Ryou and Keiichiro were sitting having coffee in the kitchen.

"Have you seen Tart?" she asked them breathlessly.

"Not since he was here this morning stealing all my freshly baked buns," Keiichiro joked.

"Why aren't you taking this seriously," she shouted at them, getting really upset. "Tart has gone missing and I've searched all around town and you two are trying to make a joke out of it!"

"Whoa, calm down. Tell us from the beginning." Ryou spoke to her.

"Well," Purin began. "We were playing hide and seek this morning. I was it so I counted then I went looking for Tart and I couldn't find him anywhere and now he's LOST!!!"

"Let's get all the Mews together and figure this out. You ring the Ichigo and Retasu. I will ring Zakuro and Ryou can ring Minto," Keiichiro organised the plan of action quickly and simply. "We will all go looking for Tart and we will meet back here in one hour. Got it," he said.

Purin nodded and everyone got to work.

She rang Ichigo and Retasu as quickly as she could. They agreed to all search a different of the town, and meet back at the café in an hour, just like Keiichiro had said.

Purin searched high and low for Tart, even Kish and Pai turned up to help, but they didn't find a thing. Eventually an hour had passed. Purin was looking so upset that she was probably going to start crying there and then.

Everyone stood in the café that night. Everyone was feeling a bit down. Keiichiro fixed a cup of coffee for each person, with juice for Purin. She didn't even speak. She just stared in to space. Not noticing where she was, or what was happening around her.

Suddenly, she jumped up out of her seat.

"What's wrong," Ichigo questioned her.

"I know where Tart is," she stated.

Hearing this, everyone in the room turned their heads to look at her.

"Where, Retasu asked.

"I can't tell you," she replied. "I have to find him by myself, wish me luck."

And with that Purin leapt up from the table she was sitting at and zoomed out of the room.

"Bring him back here when you find him!" Kish called after her.

"If she finds him," Ryou added.

"Why do you always have to look on the downside of things," Ichigo gave him a fierce look.

"Come on, all nine of us have been searching the entire town for a whole hour for him, and have we found him, No."

"You have a point," Ichigo replied.

Meanwhile, Purin was running as fast as she could to the place she thought Tart could be.

"I have to get there quickly," she thought as she ran. "Or Tart will be gone, he will hate me for not finding him. Oh, what have I done? He has probably been hiding there all day, and if only I had thought about it properly, then he would be here with me now, and we would have finished out game of Hide and Seek."

Purin stopped thinking for a moment as she had reached her destination. Taking a deep breath, she walked inside the candy store.

After looking around the candy store for a bit, she went to ask the store owner if anyone small and rather odd looking had been into the store today.

"Sorry, we have only had a few customers today, and we shut in ten minutes, so no one will else will be coming in. Anything else I can do for you.

"No thank you" Purin replied, feeling rather down.

She wandered out of the store. Trying to avoid the cracks on the pavement, in hope that she would find Tart.

As she was walking she saw movement in the corner of her eye. Going over to take a closer look, she bent down to see what was there. In an instant, she recognised exactly who was there.

"Tart, Na-No-Da!" Purin shrieked in Joy.

"I thought you would never find me," Tart told her as they hugged.

"I was so worried about you," Purin said to him.

"I know, but whatever happens, we're friends forever"

And with that, the skipped home, hand in hand!

I hope you enjoyed that. Please review. I will come up with another one shot soon. If you have any ideas for me then please leave them in your reviews. Bye for now!!
