The shy one (Pucca fanfic)

The Cursed Tie

We're at the noodle shop, but customers aren't in. Instead, there's confetti, party music, and happy people celebrating Garu's birthday! Ching, Abyo, Dada, Ring Ring, and even the sour patch looking little blue/pink guys are there. Pucca is running from place to place, taking pictures of all of their friends as they're having fun. Ae-cha is with Dada as they dance to the music. With Garu, he's opening his presents (while watching Ae-cha dance from time to time >:3). He opens another one to reveal a sword wrapped with a yellow bow. It even sparkled, which caused everyone to 'oooh' and 'aaaah' at it as if it'sthe most amazing thing they've seen.

"That one's from me. Happy birthday, Garu," Abyo says, being Garu's best friend and all. As soon as he notices Pucca with her camera next to him, he leaps into the air and 'HIIIYAAA' kicks, but embarrassingly, his pants ripped from behind (huh, for once, it ain't his shirt that's ripped apart). Ignoring the blushing Abyo (and Ching~) Garu tossed his new sword over to the top of a pile of other swords he got as birthday presents.

Well....aren't the villagers creative at picking gifts (note sarcasm)

Garu reached down to pick another present. Its a red wrapping paper with a picture of a classic black ninja complete with a black ribbon/bow. Lifting up the small name tag, he see's, 'To: Garu From: Ae-cha Happy 13th birthday!'. After carefully opening the box, Garu pulls out a book called, 'Ninja Skills: The Authentic Ninja Training Manual'. This earned some 'woooow' and even some 'aaww's' from the crowd.

"I know how much being a ninja is to you so....I bought the book for you. I hope it helps," Ae-cha says with her quiet voice, shyly playing with her hair as she looks at Garu. As soon as they make eye contact, she immediately looks down, suddenly finding the ground to be more interesting to look at.

Too bad, or she would've seen the very light blush Garu has on. No one thought of getting him a gift that different. Yeah. the swords are nice, but looking at the pile now, there's so many.

Ignoring his blush, Garu reaches down and picks up another present. It's pink with a blue ribbon/bow. The lid is removable, so he took that off and reached into the box and pulls out a bow. The bow itself isn't pretty to look at. It's red with green polka dots. Even Garu looked at the tie as if it's one of the ugliest things he has ever seen.

"Not much of a fighting tie," Abyo comments after seeing the bow.

"Who's it from?" Ching asks, hopping over the crowd. the crowd start to turn to each other, asking if the gift is from them. turns out none of them got it. Ching then says, "Try it on, Garu!" Soon enough, the rest of the crowd start to chant 'put it on!' over and over again. Garu's face starts to turn blue at the thought of putting the tie on. Due to the crowd chanting, he reluctantly puts on the tie. The tie glows green and spreads the green all over Garu's body before going away (all in a second).

Pucca gets in front of Garu and takes a picture of him in the tie. Garu wasn't ready for the flash when the camera went off, making him temporarily blind. The photo itself shot out of the camera and hits Garu in the face. He got sent backwards a bit, and when he landed, the bottom part of his suit got ripped. He quickly got up, hoping no one saw the rip, and walks backwards to the wall. By then, the three chefs came out with the cake, smacking Garu with the door.

"Oh, we're the men of the kitchen! and we bake this cake for you! *Ho lights candles* So have a Happy Birthdaaaayyyyy to sire the ninja Garu!" The three chefs sang, bringing the cake to semi-conscious Garu.

"Pucca, do you think Master Shoo would know what this is about?" Ae-cha whispers to her sister, who nods 'yes'. Ae-cha picks up the photo of Garu wearing the tie and says, "Go find him and ask for the cure. Me and others are going to try our best to take care of him, ok?"
