Chapter 7
Pucca curled up on her bed and hugged her pink pillow tight. The tears wouldn`t stop streaming down her face, and she was pretty sure she was hyperventilating. Uncle Dumpling entered her room holding a bowl of hot soup and sat down beside Pucca on her bed, setting the soup on her nightstand. "Aww, Pucca. I know you're sad, but is he really that worth it?" asked Uncle Dumpling softly. Pucca sniffed before answering, "No...Yes...I don't know. Uncle Dee, why would he be kissing Ring-Ring? She's so mean! He even told me so!"
"Oh, well you don't know he kissed her for sure! Maybe she kissed him," explained Uncle Dumpling. Pucca slowly sat up on her bed and rubbed her swollen eyes. "Yeah, maybe you're right. I mean, he never really got a chance to explain. I'll go talk to him about it. Thanks Uncle Dee!" said Pucca. She leaned over and kissed him on the cheek, which made the chef blush. Uncle Dumpling fixed Pucca's hair while Pucca chugged down the delicious soup. Once Uncle Dumpling left, Pucca picked up the phone and dialled Garu's number.
"Hello?"
"Garu! Hey, it's Pucca."
"Pucca! Oh gosh, am I ever glad to hear from you! Listen, I am so sorry that you had to see that! I didn't kiss her, Pucca. She kissed me! She invited me over for noodles and I was hungry! Believe me, I cannot cook! I went for the noodles, but turns out, she was just using me for her evil plan!" explained Garu in a rush. Pucca chuckled before answering to him. "What's so funny?" asked Garu. "Nothing! You just sound so cute when you're mad," replied Pucca.
"Gee, thanks," muttered Garu. Pucca can almost taste the embarrassment in his voice,"Um, well I've got ninja training to do, so I'll call you later, 'kay?"
"Alright, ninja boy! Train hard! Bye," said Pucca before she hung up. Now that everything was set straight, Pucca was content again. This reminded her to call up Tobe, to request a match. Pucca fumbled with the phone until she heard the soft whirr of the phone ringing on the other end. "You've got Tobe, what do you want?" asked a husky male voice. "Hey, my name is Pucca and I'm calling on behalf of Target Zero, my ninja squad. I'm calling to request a match with you," challenged Pucca. She then heard loud chortling and snorts, "Hahaha! You've got to be kidding me! Okay, forst, I have never heard of you guys before, and seconds; do you know who we are? We've won twenty-nine awards in our past! And we're going for the thirtieth! That is, the team that was supposed to verse us backed down, so I guess we win by default!"
" No way! Tell you what, we're going to verse you in your big battle and we'll see who's better!" snapped Pucca. Tobe laughed once again before hanging up. Well that was rude, thought Pucca. Now how is she going to tell her team that she accidentally challenged the all star ninja squad to a battle that will spread all over the world?
