AN: Hello! And welcome back to "Pucca Goes Emo!" Thank you all for your reviews! To those of you who read and reviewed my story months ago…I am sure it seemed like I was never coming back…and I am very sorry. I had a terrible loss of inspiration…and I was kinda bored with fanfiction. But now I'm on Summer Break, and I will do my best to write more! Please forgive me! T_T

You know, it really is amazing. I took a few months break from fanfiction, right? I remember the good old days when Pucca only had 30 fanfictions, even less than that. Then I come back from my break, and it has like 150! I knew Pucca would get more popular one day! *claps hands*

Disclaimer: I do not own Pucca. If I owned Pucca, the little girl with hair buns would take over the world! D Muahahahaha!

It was 8:00 in the morning after Truth and Dare night at the Goh-Rong. And today was the day Pucca, Garu, Abyo, Ching, and Tobe were to start their month-long dares. Pucca just woke up and was about to get out of her bed, when...

"Surprise!"

"AAAAAH!" screamed a startled Pucca. She looked over to her right to see Yunxu. "Yunxu! What the hell are you doing in my room?!"

"Just wishing you a good morning, and as of now, I'm going to help you get ready for your first day of being emo!" he replied.

"But can't I—"

"Hurry up and shower and get dressed!" he interrupted while literally pushing her into her bathroom and shutting the door for her.

xoxoxoxoxo

Garu yawned as he stretched his arms in his bed. He stroked his cat Mio's fur, when suddenly he arched his back, hissed, and ran away. Garu looked the other way and found the reason Mio was spooked. It was Yunxu.

"Rise and shine!" he greeted.

Despite Mio's warning sign, Garu still got startled and nearly ninja-kicked him in his already damaged face…but he blocked it.

"Ah ah ah. No martial arts for you, remember? Today is the first day of your dare. Now get ready to go out in town. I'm going to take you to get that shiny black hair of yours cut!"

Before Garu had a chance to reply, Yunxu ripped off his usual black shirt with a red heart and pushed him into his bathroom where his already soapy, water-filled, bamboo-faucet bath awaited.

xoxoxoxoxo

Tobe had just awoken to see Yunxu staring at him as well. And to the evil ninja's utter horror, he started to sing. And it didn't help that his song was worse than "It's A Small World After All."

"Good morning to you! Good morning to you! We're all in our places with bright shining faces! Good morning to you! Good morning to you!" (AN: This is something my mom would sing to me annoyingly early in the morning when I just woke up. We do NOT own this song…but I don't remember where we got it from.)

"Augh! Go away. I want to go back to sleep now and get back to my wonderful dream of vengeance."

"No can do, Tobe! You agreed to do this dare. You have to get ready now for a peaceful day of flowers, rainbows, and good deeds!" he grinned.

"Nooooooooooooooooooo!"

xoxoxoxoxo

After similarly waking up Abyo and Ching and making them get ready for the day, Yunxu returned just in time to see Pucca outside the front door of the Goh-Rong, who had showered, blow-dried her hair, put it in her usual buns, and dressed into a long, red shirt, and black, loose, stretchy pants while he was gone. (AN: wow that was a long sentence.)

"Ok, so how are we gonna do this?" asked Pucca. "I don't really know anything about being emo, even though I'm not preppy either."

"You may not be preppy, dear, but you sure are peppy! You are too cutesy happy all the time."

"Wait…how do you even know I'm like that 24/7? You just met me last night!"

"Oh I spoke with your uncles this morning. They wouldn't stop talking about you. They sorta gave me the impression of what you're like."

"Really? Well…ok."

"Good! Now let's go clothes shopping."

And so, Pucca and Yunxu walked to the mall. Yunxu was going too slowly for Pucca though, despite the fact that he was only in his twenties…so she ended up carrying him and running and arriving at the mall before he could even complain. Yunxu glared at her.

"Hehe. Sorry," she said with a sheepish grin.

A few minutes later, they arrived at 'Illuzion,' one of the best joints to buy hot new clothes.

"Now Pucca," said Yunxu while they were looking around, "let me tell you the basics. Emo stands for emotional. And if you want to know more about being emo, then you have to understand its opposites as well. The term 'preppy' comes from preparatory school. I wouldn't say that preppy is the exact opposite of emo, but some people consider it to be. Preps are stereotypically known for being outgoing, classy, athletic, wealthy, and above all, prissy. They enjoy sports such as tennis and polo. And most preppy girls are in sororities. So just imagine emo as being the reverse of all that."

"Alright, but I'm still not sure I understand everything," said Pucca.

"It's ok, you'll get it in time. Now let's buy you some clothes."

xoxoxoxoxo

"Are you done trying things on yet?" asked Yunxu impatiently.

"Yeah, yeah. I'm coming out."

Pucca emerged from the dressing room and looked at Yunxu hoping for approval. He glimpsed at her for a second, and then nodded.

"Excellent. This outfit works perfectly for you."

Just to make sure they didn't miss anything, he scanned her closely once more. He started at her legs, where she was garbed in black converse shoes with red and black striped knee-high stockings. Then his eyes traveled up to her pleated, black mini-skirt and studded belt. Finally, he looked up at her red, lacy tank top. It clung to her figure so it was almost like a corset. And the straps were designed to fall off her shoulders a bit.

"Great. Now you need some accessories," stated Yunxu.

He handed her a set of black bangles with diamond stars on them, and she slipped them on her arm. Next, he gave her a pair of silver earrings shaped like lightning bolts and she put them on.

"Now all that's left is to take you to a hair and makeup stylist."

xoxoxoxoxo

Pucca and Yunxu spent a while at a nearby salon. Shortly, Pucca was ready to go.

"So…what do you think?" she asked.

For the first time in ages, her raven black hair was free of the usual ties. It cascaded down to her mid-back, and was now ever so slightly wavy. Her long bangs, which she usually brushed back and out of the way, were now hanging gently on one side of her face, partially covering her eye.

Her makeup was also done. She was wearing jet-black mascara and eye-liner and a little bit of reddish blush. Her lips were covered in just a clear gloss.

"What do I think? I think you are complete, my dear."

"Great! …So what happens now?"

"Well, you get to go work at the Goh-Rong or run errands or whatever it is you would do on a normal day. The only difference is that now you are going to do these activities as an emo would do them."

"But I have never been even close to emo. I'd just be acting this whole thing out. This isn't what I'm really like."

"I know. And for now, acting is ok. But trust me, eventually you will learn to think like an emo. And then you'll have no trouble."

"Okie-dokie then," she said with a suspicious undertone. "Anyways, what are you going to do?"

"I'm just gonna help everyone else with their new dares. I'll see you around!"

And with that, he gave her a little wink and zoomed out the door.

AN: I know this was a boring chapter what with all the detail on Pucca's clothing. But one has to get a good idea of her new look. Anyways, it won't take very long for me to put the next chapter up. It will probably be about Ching or Tobe's time getting started. I'm not sure yet. But I shall bring you another chapter soon! I'm on a roll! Oh and be forewarned: this will probably turn out to be a LONG fanfiction. But I plan on it being a good one!
