Declaimer: I do not own Pucca
Chapter 5: Experiences
Pucca's POV
I strolled across the squeak floorboards, and I watched where I step, dogging the swinging training bag. To think about it I don't think I have actually train before, I guess my strong like powers just came to me when I was a baby.
"Garu" I lifted my head up, and look who had called me. "Garu over here" I turned my head over to Chang, he was with a little boy about the age of 8. I walked towards them, dodging all the kicks, punches, and thrown items from all the training kids. Once I reached them, Chang spoke "Garu, since you are my top student, I need you to teach Aaron, the new boy here, the basics, is that okay?" I look at Aaron, he smiled sweetly at me, and I look back at Chang and thought "Garu wouldn't mind teaching this kid right? Nahhh he would be okay with it" I grin and opened my mouth and said "I will teach Aaron the basics" and I bowed down. Chang soon enough bowed down too, saying thanks.
Chang left, and I was with Aaron by my side. I look down at Aaron, and he looked up at me. Suddenly Aaron bowed down and saying with a thankful voice "Thank you, for taking your time to teach me, I will do everything you say, thank you" I heard stuttering here and there, it sounded like he was crying a little. I knelt down on my left keen, rested my elbow on my keen. I lifted the young boy head, and saw tears coming down his face; I stare at him for a moment.
"Why are you crying? Did something happen?" I asked worried. He rubbed eyes with his long sleeve dark blue shirt, and sniff, he looked at me with sorrow, he opened his mouth but no words came out, just soft crying sounds, and mutters, he look back down on the ground, as tears hit the wooden floor. I rubbed his back, he looked back again, his eyes were red and puffy, he spoke "M-my little si-sister got b-bullied, and now s-she is in the h-hospital, from a b-broken arm, and n-now I want to pr-protect her, I don't w-want to see h-her hurt a-again." I felt tears brimming on my eye lids, a few slide down my cheeks, I see now, he going to training, to protect his little sister, it's so sweet, I'm going to teach him everything I know to help. The reason I cried is because I had the same experience.
"Look here Aaron, I'm going to help, I'll teach you everything I now, alright?" I said. Aaron stared at me, with his eyes wide open, suddenly he crashed to my arms, making me stumble back a little, I thought "this kid has some power, this will be a piece of cake, teaching him". "Thank you, Garu I won't let you down" he spoke through my shirt, as I brushed through his almond, soft hair. I stood up and said with confidents "Well Aaron let's get to work, I'll make you one of the strongest person in Sooga, okay?"
I shot out my hand towards Aaron; he took it and shook it happily. I smiled, I looked up to see if there are any more training bags, I spotted one, "okay Aaron go to that training bag, and show me all your power". Aaron ran toward the worn out bag. I went behind it to hold it steady, "Okay Aaron, show me what you got, hit it as hard as you can". Aaron brought back right arm, made a tighten fist, closed his eyes tightly, and WHOOSH! My head dropped as I hit my forehead with my palm, Aaron open his eyes, and noticed he hit nothing but air. I shook my head and thought "well I did hear that 'whoosh' sound, but no thud, maybe he need to learn how to aim first". I opened my eyes, I saw Aaron on his keens apologizing fast "Garu, my master, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, I just need to learn to aim, I have always been bad at aiming, I'm sorry."
I crouch next to him "Look Aaron, no need to apologize, it's not your fault, it's one of the basic, I'll teach you that first, but I got to say, you do have power, I heard the wind slashed, maybe you didn't hear that, but to me I heard it, that tells me you have power, and once we get your aiming done, you be able to knock out the wind of anybody I promise, so let's get started on aiming, that's what we will be working all this week, does that sounds good?" Aaron lifted his head, and smiled "yeah that sounds good". "Alright, let me get training dummy, for we can practice on". Aaron nodded, and followed me, we went in the back, I observed all the weapons, and training bags, punching bags, and a training dummy.
I lifted the dummy, and walked out, and set it in the far corner, for no one gets hurts from when Aaron misses the dummy, and hits someone else. "Okay Aaron I want you to hit the X, like this" I swung at the dummy, as some stuffing came out "okay?" Aaron nodded, he missed a couple of times, he was losing his breath, I stopped him and told him to relax, and try to aim.
He hit and missed, hit and missed, I looked at him careful, trying to find out what is was doing wrong, hit and missed, "There", Aaron looked at me confused, tilting his head. "Your problem is that you close your eyes, try to hit without closing your eyes". Aaron looked at his hands, kept his eyes open and THUD! "YEAH, there you go, do it again" Aaron punched the dummy again and again, I was so proud.
"YEAH AARON! Hit it again harder!" I yelled "Garu" "COME ON AARON AGAIN" I shouted "Garu" "THAT ITS AARON!" "GARU" I jumped. I turn on my heels, and come face to face with Abyo. "WHAT THE HELL DO YOU WANT?" I screamed. "Whoa, come down, it's time to go, and my leg is feeling better, so come one." Abyo spoke with a bit of fear. I looked at Aaron, and knelt down "look Aaron good job, go home and get some rest, I have to go" I spoke softly to him. "Okay Garu, thank you" Aaron left my side, and went home, I smiled. "Okay Abyo let's go"
Garu's POV
I walk up the stairs; I was heading towards Pucca's bedroom. Once I reached in the door knob, I prepared myself and I just hope everything doesn't have my freaking face on it. I turned the knob slowly, opening to a light pink room. I observed the bed room, I have to admit, not everything, has my face on it, just some posters, and one or two dolls of me, everything else is a stuff animal, or pictures of Pucca or Pucca with the gang, Ching, Abyo and me, which fine by me, I just expect everything was explode with my face, but I was proved wrong, I laugh at myself, maybe I thought about Pucca the wrong way, maybe she isn't the stalker I always thought she was, maybe she's different. I walked my way to the bed, I sat down, it was soft, I picked up the doll of me, I looked at it careful, I stroked its face, and it was stitched nicely, and very detailed. I turn it around; it had words in the back, written in bright red, I spoke out the words "One day, he will love me back". I stare at those words, I wonder how Pucca felt every time I push her back, how I rejected her, I thought and thought I remember how many times she saved my ass, all the things she did for me, tears brimmed at my eyes, then I heard a faint call "Pucca" I looked up and came back to reality, one of her uncles where calling me. I put the doll back on the pillow, and fought back the tears, and got up from the bed, and walk back down stairs.
"Pucca, we need you to serve food, Dada is out, and he broke his leg… again" Ho said. "Alright" I nodded. "Here give this to table 4" Dumpling said. I walked out of the kitchen, to the dining room. "Table 4, table 4, table4" I repeated to myself silently. "Table 4" I found it, I dash towards it, there sat an elderly women with pure white hair wrapped in a bun. "Here your noodles mama." I lightly pick down the bowl, and walked off. "Um excuse me, miss?" the elderly women spoke, with a soft, weak voice. "Yes, mama?" "You have seem to forgotten my chopsticks" "shit" I thought "I'm very sorry" I bowed down, and walked back and saw the forgotten chopsticks grabbed them, and ran back to the women, "Again my apologies" I spoke. "Oh that's quite alright." I nodded, and walked back.
There was 5 more plates, and bowls of food, I sign and thought "how can Pucca does this so quickly?" I gave the two bowls, and looked for table 6, I raced towards the table, gave the two couple their food, and chopsticks, I went back, saw 3 more plates appear. "Busy be busy hour" I let out a huff. "Come one Pucca, you don't usually get tired during work" Linguini said. I jumped, "Pucca, seriously you don't get tried, I'm already breaking a sweat". I gave the plates, and did the same routines, Gave plates, look for tables, lay down food, drinks, and chopsticks, don't forget the chopsticks. This went on for an hour or two; sweats were sliding down my forehead. I grew tried and exhausted. Finally rush hour was over, only 5 the most came into the restaurant. It was getting a bit easier now.
"Alright Pucca, that it's your job is done, go on break". I smiled weakly, I just wanted to crash into the floor, and not move a muscle, not that I'm not out of shape, it's just 1. I'm new to this and 2. This isn't my body. I lean forward on the counter. Sweat drops fell from my face, heavy sighs escaped from my mouth.
THUD 'Crap, who the hell hit my back' I shot up, and turn around fiercely, it was Pucca 'Can't she see, that I'm exhausted' I open my mouth to yell at her. Suddenly a finger lay against my lips. "Hard work isn't it" Pucca smirked at me; I can sense she was making fun of me. But I ignore the fact of that and said "yeah, it is" I almost forgot to tell Pucca who I have in mind to tells this to, who might know to switch us back. "Hey Pucca, I have an idea who might be able to switch us back, but we have to go somewhere quite, so come with me" I reached for her hand, and dragged her along, she kept up, soon enough she was by my side. "So where are we going? What do you have to tell me?" she looked at me curiously. "Well we are going to my house, and then I'll tell you who, might have an idea who will answer our questions of how we switched, so come on, we are almost there."
We pasted trees, bushes, twigs, and other nature-like stuff, finally we reached my house. We walked up the steps to the front door, I opened like, and let us in. "Hey Garu" Pucca spoke. "Yeah?" I questioned "I think this is the first time you actually let me inside you house, without me using force." Pucca laughed. I thought about it "I guess you are right, it is the first" I scratched the back of my neck. "Anyways sit down, wherever you like". This was certainly awkward for me. She sat down on the sofa, "So who do you have in mind?" she asked. I walked towards her and sat down "well I was thinking about Sosso, because he is smart and wise, and he has books and maybe one of those books, have something with switching, so is that okay" I look over to her, without turning my head. "Sure that sounds like a good idea, I'm pretty sure we can trust him with our little secret" she smiled.
"Okay then, tomorrow we will visit Sosso." I spoke "Yeah…" Pucca said she looked at me, I look back at her at the corner of my eye, I rested my head on my hands, I had no idea what to say next, I wasn't exactly the talker. "Hey Garu, so for tonight where do we sleep? do you go to my house, and I sleep here?" Pucca asked. I thought about that, I guess it's for the best anyways "yeah that's the plan, you will sleep here, also make sure you feed Mio, and be care of any traps just I have to keep Tobe out. And I'll sleep at your house, is there anything I should know to do?" I questioned. "Yeah just feed Yani" Pucca said. "Alright, so also Pucca, I know it might seem awkward but when changing clothes…" I immediately started to blush. "Well umm, well… give me a second" I look at Pucca, she was really thinking about this. "Okay, I got it, we just shower, and change with our eyes close, that should be a problem right?" Pucca suggested "yeah it should be a problem." I nodded!
"Okay then that problem is settled" Pucca grinned. "well I guess I'll be going, be careful of Tobe and his ninjas, I don't want you to get hurt" I worried "don't worry I'll be fine, now go before my uncles start worrying too" she said pushing me out the door, 'funny usually I push her out' I thought and smiled "alright I'll go" I said bye and left, she wave bye, I looked back and saw Mio appeared. She picked him up and nuzzled him.
I ran back to the Goh-Rong, and got dress with my eyes close like Pucca said too, and got under the pink sheet, soon Yani appeared Meowed and laid on the egde of the bed.
Pucca's POV
I picked up Mio, I held him, and touch his soft black fur. I walked inside Garu's house with Mio in my arms; it was 10:00pm. I walked inside Garu's bedroom; I change into Garu's pajamas, a red loose shirt, and black pajamas pants. I enter the bed with Mio, but something was missing, I tried to remember what I was missing, then I got it "my Garu doll" I whisper, I always slept with it, it gave me comfort, I have to get it. I got up from the bed, "Come on Mio, follow me" I spoke; I open the bedroom door, walked across the living room, with Mio following my trial. I closed the front door, and ran to my house to get my Garu doll. I reached the Goh-Rong, I tried the front door, but it was locked, I look up at my window, 'how can I get up there on the balcony?' I thought I observed the area; I spotted a tree that was close enough, which I can climb up, and then jump from there to the window.
I start to climb up the tree, at first it was slippery, but then I got the hang of it, soon enough I reached the top, I balanced on a branched, and leaped from there, I land safely on the balcony, I knocked on the glass window, I saw Garu moved under the sheet, but didn't get up. I knocked a little more roughly; I wasn't going to leave without the doll. Garu finally rose up from the bed, he rubbed his eyes, and I waved at him to open the window. He got off the bed, and wobbly walked to the window, he opened it. "What's wrong?" he said wearily, I went inside my bedroom, and looked for the doll. "Where is it?" I asked worried. "Where's what?" he yawn. "The doll" I looked up at him. He jumped; he walked over to the nightstand, opened the drawer and pulled out the Garu doll, "This one right". I grabbed it from his hand, turn it over and read the words 'One day, he will love me back' "yeah this is the one" I spoke softly. "Well Good night Pucca" Garu spoke sweetly. I walked over to him, I stare at him for a second, and look at the doll in my hands, I leaned forward and kissed Garu's cheek softy, and he didn't move away, or push me back, I pulled back walked back to the balcony, and stand on the railings and said "Good night Garu" and I left with Mio be my side, and the doll in my arms.
I thought about the kiss I just gave Garu, he didn't move an inch, he just let happen, I guess he didn't mind. I smiled widely, I just hope I can be like that forever, and be one day he will kiss me back, u that has to wait, first we have to switch back to our normal selves, then maybe me and Garu can be better friends and move on from there. I left that thought in my head. I reached the house, let Mio pasted by and watched him go into the bedroom. I closed all the doors and went to the bed, waiting until we see how we exactly switched body. I turn on my side and hugged the small doll and fell asleep.
