It has been about 2 days, and Pucca was getting desperately worried. There was no sign of Garu anywhere. Nobody had seen or heard from him ever since the day Pucca chased him off the island.
Pucca couldn't bare the thought of Garu being lost at sea. Or worse.
She rushed down to the beach. Quickly, she built herself a raft, and then set off in the direction that Garu went a couple days ago. She was going to find him if it's the last thing she does.
Half an hour later
Pucca has been searching for a while with no luck. But she will never give up. But that's when she noticed some nearby islands. She had never seen them before. But that's when the idea hit her.
Maybe Garu could have washed up on those islands! It was worth a try, so she paddled over to the islands to take a look.
When she arrived, she was surprised to see a dock. She parked her raft beside it and hopped off to search the islands for her missing love.
These islands were strange to say the least. Usually small islands in the middle of the ocean were filled with tropical plants.
But these islands had trees that Pucca saw back home in Sooga Village, such as Cherry Blossoms, and Bamboo, and such. Not a single Palm Tree in sight.
Pucca just shrugged it off. She had a mission to do.
Pucca began exploring the island even further. Until she came across something, beyond odd. She had reached the other side of the small island, and she discovered a giant statue, made of stone, standing out in the water. But this was no ordinary statue. This, was a statue, of her!
A giant stone Pucca. Towering over her. This was kinda unsettling for poor Pucca. She had never even been to these islands before, and there was just a giant statue of her built out here.
But before Pucca could think of what to do next, she heard a snap. As if a twig had been stepped on behind her.
She quickly turned around, only to find... Her.
Pucca stared in disbelief at her visitor. It was a little girl that looked almost identical to her. Except, shorter. This tiny Pucca was about the same size as the little Smiley men that lived back in Sooga Village.
However, unlike the real Pucca, this one could talk.
"Who are you?" The little Pucca asked.
Pucca stared at the small girl in confusion.
"You are a very big sister." The little Pucca began. But then the tiny Pucca's face turned from confusion, to shock! The little one's little squinting eyes opened wide as she gasped. "Are, are you known as. Pucca?" Asked the small girl.
Pucca, not knowing how to answer, nodded her head, yes.
The tiny Pucca became very astonished. "Oh my goodness! It's finally happening!" The girl exclaimed. "One by one, our Masters Above are finally returning to us!"
Pucca just looked blankly at the tiny her. She was wondering if this was a crazy dream. But the little Pucca went up and tugged on her leg.
"Come Master Pucca! We must reunite with the others!"
Pucca, not knowing what to think, decided to follow her little self, out of curiosity. The little Pucca was leading her to another island. Which was within walking distance of the one she was on previously, the water separating the two islands was shallow enough for Pucca to just wade in. The little Pucca had to doggy paddle across though.
Before long, Pucca could start hearing voices. The two walked through some bushes, and when they emerged, Pucca was almost scared by what she saw.
It was an entire tribe of little Pucca's! They all looked exactly like her besides the size. With the exception of a few, in which were either wearing blue shirts, or had their hair flow down instead of having them in two buns on their heads.
But aside from the few that had different clothes and hair styles, the rest were literally tiny lookalikes of her.
Pucca was in disbelief. But then the other Pucca's took notice of her arrival.
They all surrounded her. The little Pucca who lead her here began to speak proudly.
"Attention, My sisters! The day that we have all been waiting decades for, is soon approaching! For a second out of the four of our Masters Above, has come to us! Everyone, celebrate for Pucca!! The most powerful of the four of our Masters Above!"
On that note all the little Puccas simultaneously cheered "Praise our Masters Above!"
Pucca just stood there. Wondering what on earth she had gotten herself into.
