Pucca; Where It All Begins //Unfinished//

CHAPTER 11

(Nobody's POV)

-4 days later-

"Where's Garu..?" Ching asked the boy infront of her that is currently eating noodles

"I don't know," he answered, wiping his lips with his hands, "maybe he's admiring his new sword, again..."

"So it is new?" Ching said as she put her hand to her chin, thinking

"Abyo.." "Hmm?"

"Do you have any idea on who gave him the sword?"

Abyo stopped eating his noodles, then he crossed his arms facing another direction

"I don't know either!" He growled, "but if I will have the chance to know whoever gave him that sword, I will slap him/her! I mean, because of that sword he doesn't have time to play, he has no time for sparring and lastly he doesn't have time for me!"

"Pft, Abyo," Ching laughed, "you're acting like a child"

"Tskkk!"

He stand up leaving Ching behind laughing at him for being too childish

"Hey Abyo! Wait up!" Ching shouted as she run towards Abyo while still laughing at him

"Here's the last order Pucca"

Pucca's uncle Dumplings said as he hand the last noodle that she'll be handling with, she nodded then she grabbed the noodles she'll be sending to her customer that is waiting just somewhere in their almost peaceful village

She ran to her scooter outside but then she heard a giggle from someone she needed to be with right after her duties, and it is no other than Ching

"Hi Pucca!" Ching greeted Pucca, smiling at her sweetly, and as a response Pucca just smiled back at her, weakly, then they sat on a bench just near the Goh-Rong restaurant where you can see a lot of people going in and out of the restaurant of Pucca's uncles

Ching's smile then dissappeared seeing her best friend's reaction, "What's wrong, Pucca..?" She asked, "are you feeling ok..?"

Pucca was about to make her fake smile even more wider to show that she is ok (even if she isn't ok after all) but then she remembered that the one who is infront of her is her bestest friend since birth (joke) err.... I mean since their childhood so lying wouldn't make Ching close her mouth

Ching just sighed knowing what the reason of Pucca's sadness wearing on her face since 4 days had passed

"Uh... Pucca," she said, holding Pucca's hands then she continued, "remember the..... new sword he had?"

Pucca nodded, "Are you the one... who gave that sword to him?"

Ching was hoping that she is right about it, well, Pucca's a lovey dovey you know, she would give Garu a lot of gifts and stuffs just to make him to thank and notice her just this once, and if she's right, then probably, Garu must've loved the sword she gave, well, he just replaced his old sword from his father that is really really important to him, but no one even thought of him replacing it just because of his new sword he had now

But Ching didn't expected Pucca to shrug her shoulders and still in her saddest face that you don't see everyday in her pretty face, made her; Ching, feel more worried

Ching looked at her, surprised, "W-what? Are you sure... about that..?"

Pucca nodded sighing, then she walked to a cherry tree just beside them

Ching just sighed deeply too then she joined Pucca that is sitting under the tree just beside the bench they were sitting on just minutes ago

"That's strange... then who gave him the sword? And why do he love it very much? I mean, his old sword was the most important thing to him, but I can't believe that he can just replace it just because of that new shiny sword of his"

Pucca nodded in agree as she look down thinking..

But Ching didn't want to bother Pucca from the work she needed to finish, so, "Hey Pucca, let's just talk later in the practice, ok? And I think the noodles you need to order is now cold so you must give it to the customers now.." she said, then Pucca stood up ready to go to the customer's houses but then they heard a voice coming to them

"Hey Pucca, Ching!" They took a glance at the direction where a guy just called their names, looking at him confused and to a paper that he is holding

'Abyo?' Ching thought looking at him with shookt eyes, same as Pucca

"Look at what I found! A map!" He said in excitement, "Its so cool!!! And.... I think this is another adventure for us, YEAHHH!!!"

Abyo looked at them waiting for an answer, but instead of jumping in happiness like Abyo well they just laughed making Abyo confused

He then raised his eyebrows, "What is the laughing all about...? Is there something wrong...?"

"Pfffttt Abyo... hahahaha..." Ching controling her laughter, "Well, pftt... I can agree that it is a map... but.., hahahaha pftt... its a map for kids HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHA!!!!!"

Abyo's eyes widened as he took a glance at a map he's holding, and they were right, he was holding a treasure map from a restaurant out of nowhere that was for kids, well, you know, like treasure hunting stuffs just to make the kids happy and trick them

Abyo was so embarrased but then he saw a paper laying on the branch near them, he then took it, and there it is... the map that he was gonna show to them but a bit mistake just wonder up to him replacing the map he is holding awhile ago with the map for kids.... lol

He took the map quickly then he ran to the two who stopped their laughs seeing a map that really just made them curious about the place they saw in the map that is named 'Land of Doom'

"Woah..." Ching, then she grabbed the map looking at the place that was in the map that Abyo just found somewhere we always put our things, pft

"I know right!" Abyo as he jump in excitement, ready to rip his shirt, "And tomorrow, we'll be going to that place and discover what it is in that land of doom! HI-YAAAAAA!!!!!"

**

"Pucca?"

Pucca stopped running downstairs then she looked at her uncles who are looking at her worriedly

She just smiled at them, 'I'll be ok, uncle Dumplings' she signed, 'and besides, I have my friends with me..'

"Yes we know that" her uncle Linguini said, "but we don't know what can happen, and maybe you and your friends will be in danger any time, nobody would be able to help all of you"

"Don't worry," Abyo then showed up, tapping Pucca's uncles' backs with his strong, big hands, "we'll be fine and we'll protect each other, just trust us, HI-YA!"

Dumplings and Linguini just sighed still worried for their beloved niece, but Ho was just calm, trusting her friends, and knowing that Garu would be with them he trusted them more that they'll protect each other no matter what, yep, they are true friends alright

Then Ho decided to speak, just to calm his two big brothers; who must be the one who's calmer than him, "Don't worry Dumplings, Linguini, they'll be fine, and Garu would be with them so its gonna be more fine than we can think"

Dumpling's worriedness then dissappeared realizing that Garu would be with Pucca in their dangerous journey, he then looked at Garu that is still packing his things

Dumplings smiled as he thought, 'Oh Garu,  you do care'
