Chapter 12. First Date

" Ack! How dare up you bump into-," Ring Ring protested until she saw me." Oh, Garu it's you."

" I'm sorry," was all I said.

I haven't seen Ring Ring in a while either last time I remember she went to a different higher education school. She still had that blue hair pinned up in her head and in her purse there was a dog glaring at me. She watched me for a moment. Her eyes narrowing, observing me.

" Um," I mumbled because it's pretty freaky the way she's looking at me.

" Well, Well...I almost didn't recognize you, you have definitely changed Garu," as she said this her eyes expanded a little.

I looked back at her. She seemed about the same height as Pucca. She wore Pink lips gloss and had a pink dress and blue snow boots,

"-And you seem the same," I replied starting to move away now.

She fallowed me.

" Wait Garu..you know we haven't seen eachother in such a long time don't you think we should meet more?," she said while walking along side me.

" Not really," I mumbled.

I know that may have sound rude but you all have to admit Ring Ring is rude unless she miraculous changed.

" Oh come on we use to be just buddies remember," she murmured back her voice trying to sound persuasive.

" Buddies?," Yeah... I don't think that happened.

" Yeah, Buddies we even almost got married," she smugly said.

I vaguely remembered that time Ring Ring has attempted marrying me. Ew. Not a pleasant memory.

" That wasn't me you were planning to marry that was Dada," I mumbled back still haunted by the thought of marrying Ring Ring.

The thought of marrying just send shivers down my spine.

" But..it was meant to be you in the beginning, Dada just got in the way I didn't expect him to come in," she lied while standing right next to me.

" Sure you didn't," I mentally rolled my eyes.

Ring Ring reached for my arm unexpectingly.

" Hmm... You've gotten stronger," she practically slurred.

What the hell? Do you think that I would be us to someone grabbing my arm when even with Pucca I'm not use to her grabbing my arm how do you think I felt when Ring Ring grabbed my arm. I jerked my arm back not liking the cold feeling I felt by her grasped.

" Garu!," I hear behind me.

Ring Ring and me both turned as Pucca came towards me. Halfway to me she stopped and she looked at Ring Ring questionably. Ring Ring step back from me to look at Pucca. Pucca walked to me. I don't know if it was juse me but there was some weird atmosphere going on between those two.

" Pucca," Ring Ring said as she forced a smile on her face.

Pucca wasn't smiling anymore she wrapped her arm around mine.

" Ring Ring," she replied her voice changing to stiff.

?

Ring Ring glanced at our arms together then her eyes became hard as she looked up at Pucca. Her stare became a glare.

" What's this?," she asked Pucca as she glared at her.

" It was very nice seeing you Ring RIng but now we have to go, come on Garu," Pucca gripped my arm tighter before starting to pull me away.

Somehow I felt like a stuffed animal when Pucca pulled me away.

" We? Don't tell me you two are going out?," Ring Ring asked her voice now full of something unknown but my mind registered a hint of anger.

" Yes Garu and I are going out Ring Ring," Pucca announced way too loudly.

Some of the people walking past turned to look at us.

Ring Ring laughed.

Pushin her hair out of her face in a dramatic way.

" You two? Haha-Pleeease that is impossible, good one Pucca I almost believed you there," she laughed.

Pucca and I exchanged glances before looking back at her.

Ring Ring still laughed. I didn't know how I could tell but I felt Pucca fiery expression by just her rise in temperature on my arm.

Somehow I felt like saying something at the moment.

" It's true," I say.

Ring Ring glance back at me.

" You're joking," she still refuse to believed.

" Garu would never go out with Pucca it's-it's..just won't happen, I don't believe this," Ring RIng shook her head.

At that time the bell rang. I felt like saying something again but my mouth was dry and I didn't feel words coming out of my mouth. Pucca looked mad at Ring Ring and she seemed like she wanted to say something back at her but in the end she tugged at my arm Making me take the clue of leaving now. We started moving away. Pucca angrily walked away. It wasn't until we were on the other floor that Pucca seemed to calm down. I heard her sighed. Then she turned to me and smiled.

hmmm..

With hr arm clinging to mine again. I remember my conversation with Abyo earlier. Could it be that she wants more attention? I need a manual to this. Maybe I should asked Abyo for a personal book on how to have a girlfriend. Attention? How am I suppose to do that?

" I'll see you after class, even though we're already late for class," Pucca smiled at me before she started pulling away and walking away. Abyo words, suddenly appeared in the back of my head.

She's walking away Garu! Do something she's your girlfriend isn't she? Are you just going to let her walk away. WIthout saying anything. Anyway, I am obligated to do things like that if I'm going to be her boyfriend

My conscience told me. I turned around walking to my class but my conscience got louder. I still walked away until my conscience got the best of me. I turned back around.

" Um...Pucca?," I called after her.

She turned and walked over to me.

" What is it Garu," she asked me.

My mouth felt dried at that moment.

" ..Um...I...was-was thinking...if you wanted to go out on Saturday," I managed to say with a mumble.

Pucca face got brighter. In fact too bright. Her smiled become wider as se did another thing I didn't expect. She practically jumped on me. Her hands fling at my neck and she kissed me quickly. That all took me by surprise that when she pulled apart I still didn't get the chance to kiss her back.

" I'll love to!," she cheerfully giggled.

Her hands were still around my neck and I didn't even notice until now but my hands were at her waist.

er...

" Okay," I say still too surprised to come out with a better reply.

I think she was about to kiss me again or I was going to kiss her but at the time when she reached up and I leaned down we heard-

" Ahem,"

We pulled apart both separating from eachtother. I noticed it was a teacher.

" Um...why aren't you two in class,'' he asked giving us a stern look.

" We're going," Pucca cheerfully said before she went away.

" Yeah...we're going," I embarrassingly say walking pass the teacher.

I looked out the window. For a moment I could've sworn I saw a blue figure on the edge that looked like Tobe. But the moment I saw it, it disappeared. Hmm...where is Tobe Anyway?

Ring Ring Pov *Bonus

Grr. Stupid Pucca. How dare she? Why does she have to leave everything. Ugh. That sticken Pucca. She always has to ruin for me!.

" Breathe Ring Ring I'm too pretty to be angry, I'm too pretty to be angry," I told myself repeatingly.

I know if I got mad. Red marks will appear in my pretty face. I take breathing exercises to calm me down. It just got me so mad that Pucca always gets what she wants. Garu had been the only thing she didn't have before. Garu was the only thing she needed and now. She has him. Grr. That can't happen. Not if I'm back in town. I won't let Pucca get what she wants. I go down the stairs when I hear.

" ..Um...I...was-was thinking...if you wanted to go out on Saturday," I heard Garu say.

Saturday? Hmm. This should be interesting.

-On saturday ( back to Garu POV)

I give my cat food just before I go.

" I don't know when I'll be back so here I'll give you a little extra, don't get carried away," I tell my cat.

" Mew," My cat meowed before eating in big gulps.

I don't think he was going to obey me.

I hesitated at the door...I just hope today doesn't end up in chaos. I tucked in my sword behind my back. I needed to go back to practicing soon. Maybe when I make my way to the new girlfriend status things. I'll be able to practice again. I make my way to the restaurant. When I arrived the door opened before I could go in.

" Well Hello Garu we've been waiting for you," Uncle Dumpling said.

" Pucca should be here in a minute," Ho informed.

" Sit down," Linguigi offered.

" Thanks," I say awkwardly.

I've known them since a while now it seemed different now that Pucca was my girlfriend. They kept smiling at me. I didn't sit down. Suddenly I thought for a moment. I didn't parcticularly dress nice today and I wondered if I was suppose to .

Damn, it is basically our first date and I didn't even bother dressing nicer than usual. Well..that just proofs it. I'm oblivious to these kinds of things. I know maybe I should've talked or tried to get conversation out. But I remain silent. Just nodding or shaking my head when they asked me if I needed something.

" Garu!," Pucca came running down the stairs.

She came rushing down towards me. She made me slide a little when she wrapped her hand around mine. I wondered for a moment if I'll ever get use to Pucca clinging to my arm. She kissed my cheek not even shy or embarrassed. Suddenly I felt the opposite. I tried my best to hide the shade of red forming on cheeks. How can she do that in front of Ho, Uncle Dumping, and Linguigi.

" Aww," they said in sync.

My gaze went away, embarrassed.

" Well have fun and take all the time you need," Uncle Dumpling said while Ho and Linguigi nodded.

It was pretty obvious that they had a double meaning.

( Bubble)

I was already almost at the door when the blush from what they said came to me. I didn't let Pucca see but she was laughing anyway. So the only place I thought for a first date was at a movie theater. Maybe I should've been more romantical since It's like first date and everything but the only thought that occurred to me was the movie theater. It shouldn't be that hard right? We go in, we go out and end of date and I passed it see piece of cake. I let the tingle from her touch become part of me as I grip her hand. I sighed. Not use to the warmth of her hands either.

" Which movie do you want to see?," I asked her once we were in line.

" Romantic one!," she said happily.

Romantic? Yuck I didn't want to see some lame romantic comedy in fact I rather see ninja assassin 2 than watch some romantic comedy or any romantic movie which would probably end up all lovey dovey.

" Are...are you sure you don't want to watch some other movie?," I asked again.

She shook her head.

" Um...," I looked around and found the perfect movie. One that had both supposedly.

" Well watch that one," I pointed at Pucca, she nodded putting her head on my shoulder.

I think I am getting use to that now. We were going when Ring RIng appeared in front of us.

" Oh you guys were here I had no idea what a total coincidence," she said though her voice sounded fake.

" Weird Coincidence," Pucca replied her smiled fading.

" Just luck I guess," Ring Ring shrugged nonchalant like she wasn't fallowing us but it wa pretty obvious she was.

I'm already use to the sense of being fallowed. Pucca started to frown. I try to ignore Ring Ring.

" I'll get the pop corn," I walked over to the popcorn stand and start getting the popcorn when I hear a sudden gasp.

I turned around to see Pucca and Ring Ring facing eachother angrily. There were red marks appearing on Ring Ring face. Pucca grabbed the soda and walked away towards me. She grab my arm in a hard grip. I think some of the popcorn fell while she grab my arm and hauled me away.

" What happen?," I asked her.

" Nothing," she muttered which was pretty strange because usually wasn't the grumpy type.

Now I pretty much know from experience to not mess with Pucca when she is mad. So I just let her lead us to our seat. She calm down by the time we were on our seats because she gave me a small smile. Relief spread now that she was calming down. The movie began. I guess everything was going to be good until I felt a cold shiver as someone sat next to me. Pucca and I both turned to see Ring Ring sit next to us. She didn't say anything just sat down. Pucca frowned, glaring at her. I really felt weird now being in between two girls who have some issue going on. The movie continue to play. Pucca was watching Ring RIng cautiously for a moment until she decided to ignore her and she got close to me. Laying her head on my shoulder. I guess that was normal but then the normal charade ended when Ring RIng did exactly the same.

( Bubble Bubble Bubble!)

Uhh...

what the hell now? I felt my body stiffen. Pucca frowned again when she pulled me closer to her side, Ring did the same. I felt myself being yank by both. This is not the situation I want to be in. I felt stuck.

" Move Ring Ring we were here first," Pucca angrily told her.

" Fine...I'll move," she snapped back getting up.

I sighed in relief but then I only saw her move a seat above us. Directly above us.

" It's a better view," she smirked smugly.

An exasperated sigh came out of Pucca mouth. Coming here wasn't the best idea I start to think. If this was suppose to be a romantic first date I think it's ruined. Pucca looked back at the screen. I could tell she wasn't enjoying the date anymore...and here I am without words. It just got worst when Ring Ring dropped soda directly over Pucca face. That did it. Pucca jumped up abruptly.

" Okay, what's your freaking problem Ring Ring," she yelled back.

Ring Ring smirked.

" You are my problem," as soon as she said that they began fighting. Ring RIng tried punching Pucca but she would catch her blows. The rest of people watching the movie were intently paying attention to Pucca and RIng Ring fighting. I was stuck not knowing what to do but to keep watching as they fought.

" How come you have everything! I am the one with eveything! I should have everything not you!," Ring Ring red marks appeared.

" You do have everything! You're spoil you get whatever you want!," Pucca replied angrily.

Ring Ring efforts were useless against Pucca which only infuriated Ring Ring more. Her hair started to become lose. I had the feeling of leaving but I was glued to them.

" I don't have Garu," she yelled back.

" Garu is mine he's always been mine!," Pucca yelled back dodging items thrown by Ring Ring at her.

Ergh..why do they have to include me in there fight.

" What about Tobe then," Ring Ring suddenly asked.

Tobe?

Everyone gasped in the audience behind us. Pucca face became paler.

" ...Tobe," she asked Ring Ring but her voice was different.

" I saw you talking to him...what's the deal? You're playing both guys or something?,"

" No," Pucca replied grabbed on ring Ring long piece of clothing and swinged it. Making Ring Ring hit the wall. The wall made a hole.

" This isn't over," I heard Ring Ring say before she hit the wall.

I looked at Pucca. SHe looked down. She ran away suddenly and for a moment I wondered why? I chase after her without thinking. Which was pretty hard considering that she was faster than me. I lost track of her until I saw a small puddle of water and knew it was her.

" Pucca," I saw when I stand behind her.

" I ruined the date...didn't I?," she wiped her tears.

I felt like doing something again.

An impulse.

the way she was crying didn't go good with me. It made me feel as bad at her. I walked to her and took a breath before grabbing her by the shoulder and kissed her. It took her by surprise. When I pulled apart I pull out a box and handed it to her. Before glancing away because I got embarrassed. Can't believe I did that...

" What's this?," Pucca asked curiously her face still surprised.

"A present," I tell her.

" Present?,"

" I figure since it was...first date and everything that I had to give you something nice," I mumbled still looking away.

Pucca eyes were still watery. She looked at the box I gave her which held a necklace. She smiled. That made me glad.

" Garu...I'm sorry..I-," she suddenly said but stopped herself and just shook her head. " Nothing.. thank you,"she laughed before swinging her arms around my neck and kissed me. I msile and kissed her back. I knew I still had to ask her what was the deal with Tobe but at least now I just passed the other test. Something wrong with the Tobe subject but my own heart tell me to ignore it I guess I'll find out eventually..but now...all I have to do is complete this girlfriend thing. Make her happy. My girlfriend. Pucca. I held her closer. For the first time risking myself to deepening the kiss.

~~~~ Well yeah this is the end of season two. Stuff are abou to get much more serious now so we'll have to get Tobe back in the picture but before I go I have to ask you all something...do you want me to make Pucca pregnant? Just wondering XD
