Disclaimer: I do not own Pucca or any of the characters in this fan fiction. This a simple fan fiction, I have always loved Garu and Pucca so I decided to write a fiction.

The streets of Sooga village are quiet as any normal afternoon would be, except when Pucca is chasing Garu around. The restaurant is as busy as ever with lunch hour just starting so Pucca will be inside most of the day serving and then helping Dada with the dishes, lucky for her there are quiet a few deliveries to be made.

Garu's Pov:

The buzzing was far off but steadily grew louder I turned to run but she zipped right past me her scooter at full speed. I stood there blinking for a moment, "She didn't stop? Did she not notice me?" I thought slightly relieved and kept walking. "It was rather quiet lately but it is almost like I don't know this place at all, and Pucca flying right by me without trying to kiss me? Well it was only once right so I guess it isn't completely foreign. Maybe she just has to rush those deliveries?" I thought walking to the dojo. "Hiya!" Abyo yelled ripping his shirt off again and jumping in front of me. "Hey Garu you wanna spar?" He asked punching the air. I shook my head no and a look of shock took over his face, "Why not?" He whined. I shrugged and continued walking he wasn't talking but I could hear him walking next to me. "Hi Garu, Abyo." Ching smiled bobbing toward us. "Hey Ching," Abyo said and I waved. "Here for training?" She asked us and then I thought about the reason I had come over here. I motioned for her to follow me and we left Abyo staring with an eyebrow raised in confusion.

"So you want me and Abyo to go to Gho Rong. To ask Pucca if she is mad or upset? Odd. Why would you think she is mad?" She asked. I lowered my head and shrugged I know it has been busy and all but it has been a week and I barely noticed she wasn't following me around anymore. "Well I guess she hasn't been chasing you for a while huh? But isn't that why you ran away because you didn't like her in that manner?" Ching asked a little to hopeful. I Couldn't help but blush just not enough to be noticed, I stared at her then sighed. "I get it, you're just worried because she has been acting a little differently and as her friend you don't want to see her hurt or sad. Ok I'll get Abyo to go with me for dinner around closing time so it won't be so busy and we can talk to her without pulling her from work," Ching patted my shoulder and treaded off giggling.

Third person Pov:

The sun had set Abyo and Ching were walking to Gho Rong. "So Garu is worried?" Abyo asked his eyes narrowing in amusement and curiosity. "Yeah but so am I she has been acting a little odd lately," Ching shrugged. "Do you think Garu has feelings for Pucca?" He asked her and was surprised by her slightly cold remark. "Yeah as much as you have feelings for me," Ching didn't mean to put so much venom in her voice but Abyo was flirting with Ring Ring again and it annoyed her. Abyo tried a laugh but Ching lowered her head shadowing her expression she wanted to cry but she promised Garu and herself for the well being of Pucca. Just before they reached the stairs Ching raised her head with her same cheery face and opened the large heavy red door, Abyo slipping in before her she glowed a bright red the took a deep breath to calm herself. They took the table they usually sit at with Pucca and Garu, then waited. Pucca came out smiling wide with bowls of noodles since she already knew what they'd order and sat with them. "Ah what a long day," Abyo tried to start the conversation but the girls looked at him leaning back with his arms behind his head. "Long day? All you did was show off in front of girls," Ching said with an eyebrow raised. "Yes but showing this off to make it look better than it already is aint easy since I can't make myself look any better," He said flexing his arms while the girls shook their heads at him. "So Pucca how was your day?" Ching asked nibbling on a noodle. "Busy I guess," She shrugged. "Busy? Well I guess with your uncles running a famous restaurant life would be pretty busy huh?" Ching smiled. "Yeah but it's been a little hectic lately," Pucca slammed her head on the table and just laid there. "So while on your deliveries did you run into Garu?" Ching asked and Pucca's head shot up. That's right Pucca hasn't really seen Garu in about a week, was he avoiding her as usual? "I don't recall seeing him in about a week. Do you guys know if he is mad at me or something?" Pucca asked they stared blinking frequently for a few moments. "You mean you haven't been avoiding him?" Abyo broke the silence and Pucca had a look of wonder on her face. She didn't say anything but picked up their bowls with a blank face retreated to the kitchen quietly and collected. "Way to go Abyo," Ching's eyes narrowed at him. "What did I do?" He asked defensively. Ching pulled her purse out and left the tab on the table then stood and left. Abyo looked from Ching to the Kitchen and back to Ching, running after her he cursed girls and their complicatedness.

Pucca slowly washed the dishes from dinner and stared out the window to the full moon, she stopped a moment when she thought she had seen a shadow pass over the room but no one was there. She continued till all the dishes were done and she began putting them away, sighing she sat on the counter and pulled out a small leather, slightly withered book and began writing in it. Garu watched intently as she wrote in her tiny book, after a few minuets she reread her work then put it in a small box and tucked it back on the top of a cupboard. She slowly walked from the kitchen then up the stairs and headed to lavatory, she let her hair down and it hugged her hips, slowly slid out of her dress she wears as more of a top with black pants than as the function of it. Lowering herself into the now almost filled tub of water she laid back and sighed. Garu was red and ran back to the kitchen, his heart pounded loudly against his chest and his breath was heavy. Sometime had passed and Pucca emerged in a soft lavender silk robe her hair damp and clinging to her soft, pale skin. She stopped and looked down the stairs and closed her eyes… silence… *creek* there!" She rushed down stairs not making a sound and using the back of her silver plated brush she scanned the kitchen from the corner, her eyes widened and a shadow was standing there without hesitation she brought the brush to her chest and as she turned the corner threw it with all her might. *crack* The shadow fell over and the brush ricocheted from the back it's head and hit the floor with a soft thud, just before Pucca screamed for her uncles the moonlight caught the face of the intruder. "Garu?" She whispered and knelt next to him. "Oh my," She said and ran to her room. She quickly threw on a sweater and leggings, socks and shoes then returned to Garu. With the strength she could muster she lifted him and pulled him onto her back holding his thighs at her waist she made her way out of the Gho Rong and down the streets of Sooga.

Pucca's Pov:

"I can't believe I caught Garu sneaking in to my uncles' restaurant," Pucca said walking with an unconscious Garu on her back. "What was he doing there and how did he not notice me or when I threw my brush at him?" She softly asked herself with her head lowered. It has been about seven years and not much has changed here in Sooga village, the Gho Rong is still the same, Ching is still chasing Abyo but he seems to have a weak spot for her, Garu still doesn't talk much, I guess the only thing changing is my stubbornness in trying to make Garu love me. We are friends and I guess that is better than nothing, its not like I am avoiding him but I just don't see the point in going out of my way to chase him around all the time… especially when he doesn't like me in that manner.
