Chapter 3
Pucca hadn't tried to kiss Garu in a week. She was still finishing the decorations for the Fair, which was in 3 days, also on Christmas Eve, andshe was almost done.
Garu was getting some peace and quiet for once, but he hated it. He was so use Pucca trying to kiss him all the time. 'She must be mad at me' Garu thought. He was laying on his bed, looking up at the ceiling. "But what did I do?" he said.
The next day, Garu went to the Goh-rong for some noodles. Instead of the usual greeting, kissing and hugging, he was expecting from Pucca, he got a 'hi' and his usual noodles.
"Pucca, are you mad at me?" Garu asked when Pucca had brought him his noodles.
Pucca looked at him and smiled. "No. I have been busy with the decorations for the Christmas Fair. Enjoy your noodles, Garu." she said and left.
'She's mad at me.' Gary thought. He ate his noodles in silence.
Garu left after awhile. Pucca was in her room. She watched him walk back to his house. Pucca sighed. "He knows there is no way that I can be mad at him." she said.
Ching and Abyo saw what had happened with Pucca and Garu. "I wonder what's going on with them." Abyo said.
"Pucca thinks she should stop chasing Garu around since he doesn't have the same feelings for her as she does for him." Ching said. She looked at Abyo. "And I'm guess Garu misses her sneaking up on him."
"How? He would always run from her when she did that."
"Maybe he does like her but doesn't want to admit it."
Abyo shrugged. "You could be right." He looked at Ching. "What should we do?"
Ching smiled. "We should get them together."
"How would we do that? They are bearly talking to each other. Pucca stays here most of the time working on the decorations and Garu is always practicing."
Ching sighed and looked at him. "Sometimes you can be real clueless, Abyo." He looked at her with a blink expression. "I will help Pucca with the decorations and talk her into going to the Fair. You can spar with Garu and talk to him about who he likes and try to talk him into going to the Fair. Maybe they will get together on Christmas Eve." Ching put her hands together. "That would be so romantic."
Abyo raised an eyebrow. "I thought it was romantic when I asked you out after the fight with Tobe when I said I loved you thinking that we were going to die?"
Ching looked at him. "It was. But Christmas Eve and Christmas are also romantic, sweetie." She kissed his cheek. "Now let's get them together."
"Yeah." said Abyo. He left to go find Garu.
"Good luck." Ching yelled. She went upstairs to Pucca's room.
Ching knocked on Pucca's door. "Pucca, can I come in?"
"Sure."
Ching opened the door and went over to her best friends bed. "Need some extra help?"
Pucca smiled and nodded.
Ching helped Pucca with the decorations. After 5 or 10 minutes of silence, except for the chirping from the grass hopper, Ching asked Pucca about the Fair. "Are going to go?"
"I might go for a little bit but I wouldn't stay long. The Christmas Fair is kind of getting boring now." laughed Pucca. Ching couldn't help but laugh with her.
"Remember last year when Abyo got stuck in the House of Mirrors?" Pucca nodded and laughed. "That was so funny. We had to go back and look for him."
"Which caused Garu to get lost." They both laughed. "Maybe I should go to the Christmas Fair this year. It could be more fun like last year." said Pucca.
Ching hugged her. "Yay."
