Dear 'Mein Chamber of not-so secret, secrets',

Did you like that story?

Heh... probably not too much, we still haven't gotten to meet officially.

My Name is Puku Duckie and I'm addicted to video games...

"..."

This is where your supposed to say, "Hi, Puku..." in monotone.
I guess you're a mute then... That's fine, that's okay...

Anyway, I am 18 years old and am a 1st year College Student at Sweet Amouris University. I just began my third quarter. Still no sign of Ken...

I've got this weird thought that someday, someday, he'll just pop up again, saying that he wanted to be with me... It's ridiculous, right 'Mein'?

...It's okay I know you can't speak...

Enlisting in the army... you have to be there about 3 years before you can leave, right? That's what I've heard anyway or remember being told...
I'm holding the bear he gave me the first time he left... I'm saying that because I know you don't have eyes to see, 'Mein'. hah, you're kind of like a vegetable... I am peering down sadly... So is this bear...

I'm still living in my apartment with my housemate, Su. Su will be graduating this year from the university with her BS in Biology, I'm so proud of her.

Since there wasn't any class for the day, we went for coffee with Iris.

"Rocky, you've done so well, you didn't try this hard with school work when we were all in High school, wouldn't you say, Puku?"

I nod in agreement,

"Iris is right, Su. It's seems you've come quite a long way, if anyone met you now in comparison to before, they would be shocked to know how you used to be. Not that I think you were that bad to begin with..." I say while tightening my jowls making a little frown in deduction, knowing what she was going to say about that.

"Nya! You guys are so sweet!" Says the cat demon with bubbly eyes, sparkling underneath her rectangular half rimmed glasses.

"Iris, you'll be continuing in the band and music club this quarter, right?"
I ask, keeping the conversation going.

"Yeah, of course!" She chimes while I sip my cold white chocolate and peppermint coffee. Sipping on the coffee I remember another friend who loves coffee and's name reminds me of the beansy drink. Mochachi... I wonder what she's up to...?

"Mochachino should have come too! I'll bet she would have loved to have had some coffee with us." I grin.

Su bobbed up quickly, "Puku! This will be your second quarter being a school help, right?"

"Yeah, I help with the Assistance to students, Visitor Guest Book management, and introduction panel." I answer a little shyly.

"Really? That's great, Puku!" Cheers Iris.

Su puffs a little while turning a bit red, "I do stuff too..."

I grin knowingly and help my bestie out,

"Yeah, Iris, she does a super job working at the library."

"Wooow!~ I'll have to come see you work sometime then." Iris says sweetly.

Su swoons cheerfully, her ears and tail perking up, "Wow, really!? I'd love that!"

Su continues to smile dreamily and turns her head towards me, a 'isn't this great?' type of look. I shoot a quick wink in her direction. Suddenly a thought comes to mind,

"Su, do you know if the library will issue the newer volumes of 'Detective Conan'... I mean 'Case Closed' soon?" I wriggle in high hopes mein ears and short tail perking up just as high. "I really want to read them, even though I've already seen the episodes on TV~"

"Sorry Puku, no plans as of yet..."

"D'oooh...pooh..." I pout, my jowls stiffening again making a face like this; * H*

Getting all excited brought up Ken in my thoughts, so I began to redden from the mere thought of him. All that would go through now was, kenpples, kenpples, kenpples... My sight was blurred with these thoughts.

After a few moments of trying to catch my attention, I finally come back to Earth, Poping my head up straight and inquiry.

"heh?"

"I need to get home..." Says Iris chuckling as she fumbles for her wallet. Reopening her eyes and fixating her gaze towards inside her purse, her face becomes flush.

"..." Iris' turns beat red. "I forgot my wallet..." She stutters nervously.

"Kyaaaaa!~ You're so adorable!" Squeals Su as she clasps her hands together waving them up to her side, eyes glittering again.

I felt I should take the tab this time, but I figured Su wanted to be the hero this time so I waited a second.

Pulling out her money, she begins to count it. Suddenly there comes a cold chill look on her face, a blank frustrated glare at her wrinkly dollars.

"Stupid wallet doesn't have enough money in here." She says sternly

"heehee It's not the wallet's fault." Giggles a lighthearted Iris.

"I've only got enough for 2 of us, I'll... I'd... pay for both of you, but... I already drank stuff..."

Thinking quickly, I puff my lower eyelids while glancing upward, I fling out a card dramatically. A goofy grin appears upon my face.

"Su's cute, too... I've got mein, ladies. I need to use this sucker, this gift card!" I bark triumphantly. "So, you can get both Iris and yours!"

I pause "...or y'know, I could get everyone's. If that's alright with you guys..."

"I want to get it for Iris!" Puffs an eager Su in a ready fight pose, but not as if ready to fight, but to show her determination, two fists raised above her chest.

I grin slyly chanting to myself inwardly I guess I don't have to pay as much this time~

"Alrighty then, Su I'll let you pick up the tab." I giggled suddenly feeling guilty of my thoughts but also just feeling playful.

~~~

We wave good bye as we part ways with Iris and begin to walk toward the apartment. I feel a huge grin broaden upon my face from feeling the great chill freeze my cheeks and make my breath visible.

"Can we pick up some Crab Rangoon, Puku?"

"Yeah. That's sounds good." I sigh with narrow eyes, feeling a bit tired.
Striding on the way home, feeling playful I begin to shoot a dirty convo with Su about Iris, making her blush and squeal a lot. I just grin cackling quietly.
Then she gets her pay back yelling "Well! - Kenpples!" causing my eyes to shut dazedly and imagination land with a flush of pink creeping onto my face. "...mmmph. " ,,=v =,,
