Next Morning

Confidently Pucca walked into the training center, while she noticed Garu was right. He was just starting the class when she noticed all the girls weren't doing anything,literally.

"Today, were going to be doing something different. Were going to be split up, boys in one group and girls in the other. I'll be teaching the boys and my friend Pucca will be teaching the girls.." Garu informed them.

Pucca just smiled and waved at them.

They split into two groups, as Garu and his group went outside.

She looked over at the girls and they still were doing nothing. Maybe training wasn't the answer.

"I've heard you've guys have been shy lately." Pucca said as all of them looked up at her.

Still no answer from either of them, Pucca let out a sigh. "Your Garu's girlfriend huh?!" teased a little girl as the others giggled. "Well...friend for now. Thats not the point though." replied Pucca.

"The only reason we don't train is because we don't want to embarrass ourselves in front of the other boys. They might think were stupid." another girl added. "Oh...maybe if you guys try to be yourselves they won't care. Besides you guys all came here to have fun right? Try not to care what others think, if you let it get to you then you end up having a crummy time." assured Pucca as the others nodded.

"She's right." admitted a girl smiling at the others.

Garu and the other boys came in to find them actually training as Pucca just grinned teasingly at Garu.

Later That Day

Pucca and Garu were walking hand-in-hand through the village's main dirt road, Garu turned to her. "How did you get them to train?" he asked. "I just simply talked to them...I've got a question for you..." Pucca continued, "..why do you love me?"

"Why wouldn't I? Your smart,beautiful,funny, fun to be around,caring,attractive...your not afraid to speak up..." Garu was interrupted by Pucca pulling him into a kiss after he continued, "...so why do you love me?"

She smiled at him, "Well...your sweet,funny,romantic,truthful,reliable,understanding,really attractive,and you make me happy." He blushed, no girl ever made him feel like this.

"Garu...are you okay?" asked Pucca noticing Garu wasn't responding. "Um..yeah I'm fine." he smiled back at her, still trying to think of what came over him.

"I have to tell you something..." she began. 'What if she knew about why my family is unhonorable...then she wouldn't love me...at all...maybe if I don't tell her everything will be fine...Oh shit she's been talking to me this whole time...' Garu came out of his thoughts, then looked back at Pucca.

"So that's what I wanted to tell you...Garu were you even listening to me?!" Pucca asked furiously. "Well...I...no, I wasn't listening. I'm sorry." he apologized politely. "I said, I kinda had doubts about dating you...I guess I was wrong...people can change. " she blushed heavily as his face went red as well.

"I was wondering maybe this Friday...if you weren't doing anything we could..." Garu looked for the right words.

"Go on another date?" Pucca offered. "Yes, well if you want to..." Garu added. "I'd like that.." she smiled at him, "..I have to go...I'll see you later."

Pucca went to the Guh-Rong for her shift to work, it was empty. While straightening up a little, a woman entered the Guh-Rong with raven black hair.

"Is Garu here?" she asked. "Uh..no I'm afraid not." replied Pucca looking up. "Who are you?" the woman asked putting her hair up in two pigtails. "I'm Pucca his-..." Pucca didn't know what address herself as. "Girlfriend?" the woman asked.

"Yes..I guess...by the way my name is Pucca." Pucca answered. "I'm Ann, wait your Pucca?!" asked Ann joyfully. "Um..last time I checked." giggled Pucca. "Your Tabitha's daughter!" replied Ann happily. "You know my mom?" asked Pucca.

"We were best friends, don't you remember me?" Ann asked seriously. "No." replied Pucca shaking her head. "I'm Garu's mother, I left Sooga but when I heard what he did. I wanted no part in it." sighed Ann. "What did he do?" Pucca was becoming interested in this.

Ann put her head in her hands and sighed, "I hope your comfortable, it's going to be a long story."

Blackout.
