Encouragement~ A Pucca One Shor
A/N:Hey everyone! I've been watching Pucca online lately, so I decided to write this one shot and a multi chapter story, A Slap in The Face. R&R! If I get at least 10 comments, I'll write another one shot about Pucca J
"When I auditioned, I didn't know it was the lead!" Pucca almost wailed. "The lead is awesome!" Ching exclaimed, examining the sheet. S.M.S (Sooga Middle School) had decided to do Beauty and the Beast as the school play, and Pucca was cast as Belle.
"Lucky! Abyo is the Beast!" Ching exclaimed. "You get to kiss him!" Pucca gagged.
Opening night~ Garu, who was the stage crew manager, had to make sure everything was running smoothly. It was during intermission things seemed to fall apart. Dada had spilt punch all over the floor, the vagabonds were trying to sell cheap bobbleheads, and well….let's just say things were bad. When Garu walked into the backstage room for cast and stage crew, he saw Pucca beginning to cry. She was wearing the princess gown and Ching was buzzing around her, trying to do her hair.
"I just can't Ching. Not ever. I wish you were the lead!"
"Pucca, I don't have a voice half as amazing as yours!"
Ching bobby pinned a piece of hair into the style for Belle.
"You gotta go backstage now Pucca." Ching said, squeezing her hand. Pucca took a deep breath.
Wow…she looks beautiful. Garu thought. He followed her backstage. She was standing behind the curtain, waiting for her cue. Garu tapped her shoulder. She turned to look at him, red eyed.
*sniff* "Oh G-G-G-Garu." she murmured. It seemed like all the energy had been drained from her.
He looked at her face. It seemed color drained and weary. Not the face of a 12 year old but the one of someone who has no joy.
"You're a really good singer. I know you'll do great." he said. He took her hand and squeezed it. He could've sworn, for a brief moment, color returned to her face.
"Thank you." she hugged him before returning to the stage, where the Beast (Abyo) had died.
"Don't leave me…please…I love you." She kissed Abyo.
Garu gritted his teeth. He wished he was Abyo right now.
