Garu slowly walked thru the woods, thinking about everything that has happened to him..

Is this really what I have to do? I have to date her to reciever honor? That doesnt sound right...

Now I have to...love her...and hold her hand...and....kiss her and hug her....Ew!!

I guess our hero is a little more immature than we thought. Anyways...He decided what he could do, was to "act" like he loves Pucca just to prove to everyone that he does. Then

once it is pointed out he has recieved great honor for doing this, he could quickly call this disaster off. But he would to handle this in a calm manner, so people don't get suspicious of his "love"

He needed to figure out a way to make this as painless as possible... And thats when Pucca showed Up.

She stood there so innocently with a big happy smile that made Garu almost feel bad for not "loving" her...

She smiled nervously and writhed in shyness. Pucca held out a little box. Garu pointed to himself as is he were saying, "For me?" Pucca nodded. Garu took the box with confusion and he opened it.

He was a little surprised at what it was. A very small Pucca doll...Pucca grabbed it and with a smile she clenched her fist and out came a little squeaky voice that said,

"I Love You."

Garu for some reason smiled and then he stopped. He looked at Pucca and she looked so happy, the happiest he has ever seen her. He took it and he wanted to smile so bad, but for some reason he just

could not let it out. He put the doll in his pocket and gave Pucca a nervous "smile" Pucca looked at him for a moment and she felt like he was uncomfortable and she looked down, but then her face brightened.

She grabbed Garu's hand and ran toward a photo booth. She threw Garu inside joined him and then she put a fen in the slot (fen is chinese coin) and smiled and cuddled next to Garu. Then suddenly an attack

of flashes exploded in their face. Pucca, being the photogenic that she is was posing beautifully for each flash, as Garu was getting freaked out blinded by the annoying flashes. His pupils were small dots and

then big round swirls. He ended up toppling over after the last flash and Pucca laughed at him and came out. Their pictures came out and Pucca tore them in half gave Garu 4 and Pucca kept 4. Garu shook his

head to get rid of the blindness and looked at the pictures. He grunted and put them away. He stomped away and Pucca looked at him with her hand over her mouth, she looked hurt. Garu turned around and

he kept walking on. Pucca ran up to him and took his hand. Garu's heart pounded rapidly. He did not know what to do so he kept on walking. He did not even realize he was on a date with her.

Pucca and Garu ended up walking up to a cliffside near the beach. The breeze was softly blowing thier way. Pucca and Garu sat on the cliffside and for the longest time they did not interact with each other.

Garu sighed. Pucca looked over at him and he looked back over to her. They looked into each other eyes. Pucca saw a poor boy she was causing pain and suffering too, because she was tricking him

and forcing him to love her, and she did not feel loved at all. Garu saw the most beautiful girl in the world, but he felt like he couldnt tell her or anyone because of his fear of losing his "reputation" Pucca

wanted to see exactly what Garu thought of her. She scooted closer to him to see how he would react. His face turned red and he looked around nervously. She put her hand on his leg and he yelped and

began to sweat. Garu did not know what to do, because he has never gotten this romantic before and he did not know what would be right for him to do. Pucca felt like Garu was afraid of her. Garu felt like

he was making Pucca upset. He kept on scooting away from her because thats all he knew how to do. He really wanted to just smile and play with her but thats just something he doesnt know how to do.

He kept scooting farther and farther when suddenly, Garu was right next to the cliffside and he fell right off of it and fell 90 feet into the ground. Pucca gasped and without hesitation she jumped off to him.

Garu, being the ninja that he is would usually land just right but being how scared and shocked he was he did not. Pucca gasped. Garu was all bent up and broken looking. She began crying. This was

becoming too much for Pucca, now she felt like she really has hurt him. Garu slowly lifted up his head and spit out sand. He looked at Pucca who was crying and he wanted to make sure she knew he was okay.

He rose up and dusted himself off. His body hurt extremely bad but, the pain in his body was not as bad as the pain in Pucca's heart. He looked at her and he smiled to let Pucca know he was okay. Pucca for

some reason felt like this was all her fault and she touched Garu's shoulders looking at Garu as if she were saying "What did you do to yourself?" Because he was covered in mud and dirt. She covered her

mouth and backed away from him. He walked closer towards her, he felt like he was some kind of monster, not only was he covered in mud and looked like one, but he felt like one because he caused Pucca

to think she did to him. Pucca then burst into tears and ran away from him. Garu stopped and looked at her as she ran from him. Watching her go, for some reason made him start to cry a little. He looked

shocked because...He was crying. Pucca left him and he was crying and that is when he realized something. He turned around and smiled. And thought to himself...

"I Love Pucca"
