Garu got ready and bought roses. He arrived at the restaurant and Pucca jumped on him and kissed him.

" Hi my love! Should we go?" Pucca said as she walked out the door. Garu stopped her.

" Wait a little, I have a surprise for you" Garu said, Pucca raised her eyebrow and Garu opened the door. Pucca saw two people coming in, she blinked and rubbed her eyes to see if she was dreaming, she felt a strong bond with the the woman and the gentlemen standing in front of her.

" Pucca! Daughter" Pucca's mom said. Pucca shed tears.

" Mom? You are my mom?" Pucca asked, she hugged the woman that looked just like her.

" My little princess, I missed you my daughter" Pucca's dad said. Pucca hugged them and cried tears of joy. Garu smiled and interrupted the beautiful moment.

" I am sorry sir and ma'am but I want to ask you something" Garu nervously said. Everyone in the restaurant smiled and gasped when Garu kneel to the ground and pulled out a ring. Pucca smiled and cried.

" May I have your daughter's hand in marriage?" Garu asked.

" You are a good lad and you will take care of my daughter, yes I allow for this wedding to happen" Pucca's dad said, smiling widely.

" Thanks, and ma'am may I please have your daughter's hand?" Garu said, Pucca's mom hugged Garu.

" Yes son-in-law, you can marry my daughter but promise that you will love her and respect her" Pucca's mom said.

" I promise ma'am , thanks" Garu finished, he then turned to Pucca, and kneel to the ground.

" And you Pucca, do you want to marry me?" Garu said, as he put the ring on Pucca's left hand.

" I do! I love you" Pucca said, with tears of joy in her eyes. Everyone smiled. Pucca's uncles hugged Pucca and Garu and they hugged Pucca's mom and dad happy to see each other again.

" Mom, dad, uncles, I am going with Garu to eat something, I'll be back soon" Pucca said, she hugged them and went with Garu to eat something.

" My love, are you happy?" Garu asked.

" Yes, thanks so much for proposing to me and for bringing my parents" Pucca said, kissing Garu deeply.

" No need to thank me, I wanted to do things right and I wanted you to be happy" Garu said, hugging Pucca.

" How did you find them?" Pucca asked Garu.

" Well I located them this past two years, I promised you that you will see them again" Garu said.

" I love you, oh before we go to the restaurant Ching said that she needs Chibyo's teddy bear because he can't sleep without his teddy bear and is driving them crazy" Pucca said and laughed Garu laughed.

" Okay then lets go, but we have to go in a jiffy" Garu said. They went together and arrived at Garu's home.

" Where is that? I can't find it" Pucca searched, in the living room, in the kitchen.

" I'll be right back, I think is in my room" Garu said. Pucca was thirsty and drank some juice but one of Garu's home traps covered Pucca with dirt.

" What happened my love? Are you okay?" Garu asked as he saw Pucca covered in dirt.

" I am covered in dirt, can I take a bath?"Pucca said.

" Yes, the bathroom is there" Garu said, Pucca kissed him and took a bath.

Garu went to his room and laid on the bed.

Pucca's POV

Oh no! no there is no towel, how am I going to dry myself? Garu must be sleeping, where does he keep the towels?

[end of Pucca's POV]

Pucca peeked through the door and saw the towels but they were in Garu's wardrobe. Pucca found a bath robe and put it on. She grabbed the towel but she slipped with her wet feet and ended up falling on top of Garu. Garu opened his eyes and saw Pucca. Pucca blushed. Then they kissed then what they least expected happened.

[ Two hours later]

Pucca woke up, next to Garu, she blushed as she remembered on what happened with Garu and her. She realized that it was two in the morning and noticed the phone calls from her uncles. Garu woke up and saw Pucca standing up.

" What happened my love?" Garu asked Pucca.

" I have to go now, I think my clothes are dried, well I will see you tomorrow my love" Pucca said as she put her clothes.

" I'll take you, I don't want you to be alone and even now that is really dark and I don't want anyone to harm you" Garu said.

" Thanks, my uncles are going to be really mad" Pucca worriedly said.

" Don't worry, I'll explain them what happened" Garu said. Pucca smiled.

Garu took Pucca to the restaurant and noticed that her mom, dad, and uncles were sleeping and that didn't notice that she was still gone. Pucca sighed in relief and when she went to her room and noticed that her room was locked. Her uncles were way too asleep to anyone wake them up, her parents didn't know were the keys of her room were, she didn't know where the keys were. Pucca sighed and smacked her head.

" What happened?" Garu asked.

" The door of my room is locked, and also the window" Pucca explained.

" Then I can't let you stay here alone, we are in mid February and the weather is cold" Garu said, putting his jacket on her.

" Okay, thanks my love" Pucca said, Garu grabbed her hand and went to Garu's home. Pucca put some pajamas on. Garu gave her a kiss and went to the kitchen and gave Pucca a tea. Pucca drank the tea and was ready to sleep when all of a sudden she heard lighting. She got dead scared and Garu rushed towards her and hugged her.

" Pucca what happened?" Garu asked, embracing Pucca in his arms.

" You are going to think this is stupid" Pucca said as she hugged Garu back.

" Why? What happened my love?"Garu curiously asked, Pucca smiled.

" I am so scared of lighting, I can't sleep when lighting comes and it rains, it just makes me sad and scared" Pucca confessed.

" Don't worry, is not stupid, we are all afraid of things and don't you worry because I am going to make sure that you are okay" Garu said. Pucca smiled and Garu laid next to her as Pucca fell asleep. Garu fell asleep too. They thought that everything will be okay but they never had a clue on everything that could change.
