Next Morning
Pucca got up, then went for a walk.
As she was passing by the training center, Garu came out and spotted her.
"Hey." Garu greeted making her head turn. "Hi." she kept walking. "Do you hate me?" asked Garu catching up with her. "Depends." replied Pucca nodding.
"Why?" he asked frowning.
"You've changed. I don't know you anymore." sighed Pucca looking away. "It's not like I'm dishonorable right?" Garu replied nervously.
"Well your not honorable that's for sure. Look, your a player. Face it, you've changed." Pucca walked away from him.
Later That Day
"You told him he was a player?!" questioned Ching. "Yeah. It felt good too." giggled Pucca.
"Okay then..." laughed Ching. "I think I'll go take a swim at the lake...I really need one." informed Pucca going up stairs to get her things.
"Okay talk to ya later Pucca!" Ching called out from the front door.
At The Lake
'This feels so good.' thought Pucca to herself as she back stroked across the water.
She heard foot steps, and looked up. Nothing.
Pucca went under, and saw something shiny at the near-bottom of the lake.
Swimming fast towards the bottom she grabbed it, and brought it back up to the shore. "Oh my god, I remember this katana. Garu gave it too me a long time ago, before he was a player. I can't believe its still so shiny." she said to herself.
She headed back towards the village.
Next Day At Noon
Garu was training when Pucca entered through the doors, "Pucca what are you doing here?
"I found something that you might be interested in..." she pulled out the katana, and held it out. "This is from that night when I told you, I'm in love with you. You still have it?" asked Garu gently taking from her and cleaning it.
"After you became a jerk, I kinda threw it into the lake..." admitted Pucca, "..but I just found it. I wanna give it back to you, so that you can give it to the girl that you love."
"But I want you to have it." assured Garu giving it back to her. Pucca rejected it.
"Garu, keep it. Give it to one of your girlfriends." said Pucca quietly. "They don't mean anything to me, I love you. I want you, not them." Garu pulled her closely against his chest.
"Your just saying that." she replied in a grouchy tone.
"I've been unhappy all these years because I didn't have you, and I want you more than ever now." he kissed her lightly and watched for her reaction after. "You really mean that?" she asked.
"Yes." chuckled Garu. Pucca pulled away from him, "Your serious, you want to be my boyfriend?"
"More than ever." he replied smiling at her. "I'll be your only girl?" Pucca added. "Yep, like I said. I've changed." reminded Garu.
A tear left Pucca's eye, "I'm sorry but I don't want to get hurt again."
