We talk as we enjoy our meals. Laughing and joking about anything. It's been great so far. Except for Niko. "Ah~ I'm stuffed! That tasted so good too! I want to come back here again someday." Pucca smiles as she pushed her plate away. I stop eating and look at her, "You are staying here for three more years so there's a possibility you can." She smiles as she begins to play with my hair. Her gentle touch against my head and in my hair sooths me. "Oh. Hey." We all turn around and see Niko. Uuuuuugggghhhhh. Why her!?

She's wearing a blue shirt, a black skirt and some heels. Her hair is up in a ponytail. She looks at me as she holds her syringe necklace in her hand. "Hello Garu~! ....hello Pucca." Pucca's name came out of Niko's mouth as if it were the worst thing she has ever eaten. It angers me. She angers me. "So why are you guys here?" We all stay silent. "Oh come on~ I'm sorry about yesterday! I just wasn't feeling too well. Babe~" she grabs my arm. "I'm sorry for hurting your friend's feelings~ I love you and don't want to lose you!" I push her away, "I'm not your babe and I don't plan on it either." Niko glares at Pucca. She mouths, 'this is all your fault stupid girl.' my hands begin to turn white as I tighten my fists. I felt a hand on mine. Pucca. I look at her and she smiles, "I know. But what can I say? I'm Ms. Stealyoman." Niko grew angry at this comment. "You piece of-" I stand up and pull Niko away, "Niko. Let's go." She runs to keep up. I take her outside. "Niko you need to stop messing with me and my friends, this is getting out of hand."

"B-but babe-!"

"I'm. Not. Your. Boyfriend." Niko backs away. "B-but!"

"No buts!" I point towards another direction and she walks off. I reenter the restaurant and join everyone else. "Sorry about that I finally got Niko to leave us alone."

"That's ok." Pucca smiles at me and I sit back down beside her. I call out for the bill and a young man hands it to me. "Arigato." I place my card ontop of the check and hand it back to the guy. He walks off and returns in ten minutes. "Here you go sir, have a great day." I take my card and smile at the young man. "Thank you, you as well." I signal for everyone to get up so we could leave. We all head out and walk around, the Sakura's all falling from their trees. The scene was breath taking. I pulled out my phone and began taking pictures.

The grounds and waters covered in petals. Everyone enjoys this time of year, for the scenery and the festivities. We walk up to an arcade, we all look at each other and rush in. I ask the vendor for information about the place. He doesn't know much, new employee I assume. Either way, we all begin to play. Me and Pucca found the old ddr we played years back we came here through Master Soo's sushi belt. Since then, no one was able to beat her score her name still marked as number one on the screen. The screen soon fills with the words, 'can you beat: PUCCA !?' I see Pucca take a stand and enter her name. 'Pucca has returned for round II!' a crowd gathers as Pucca has become a big deal here. "Is that really her?"

"I don't know. We'll see here and now!"

"Do you think I can get her autograph or even a selfie with her!?" I chuckle. Pucca picks a song. Snowman. Kaito. She picks her level, hard, everyone's mouths fall open. I watch as she gets all steps right as the steps get faster and much more appear at once. I smile. "That's my Pucca-" wait. Pucca isn't mine. B-but...do I want her to be...? Maybe

..I don't know... Everytime I'm around her my heartbeat increases and she fills my mind. I might ask her to be mine.....maybe tonight. Yeah I'll do it tonight-! ' New high score!!! ' everyone claps and cheers. Pucca walks down and stands with me. "Nice job out there." I pay her head, "shorty." I wink. Her face glows red as she gets flustered. "I'm not short! You're just a giant!" I laugh as people gather around us. "Huh?"

"M-miss...c-can I have a picture with you..?" A young boy approaches us. "Huh? Oh sure!" The little boy pulls out his phone and hands it to Pucca. She and him pose and she takes the picture or pictures. "Here you go kid." She hands him back his phone. "Wow! Thank you Pucca-chan!" Pucca smiles as the kid runs to his mother.

I grab Pucca's hand to lead her away from the crowd. "What do you want to play now?" I asked looking around to see the selections. "How about a two player game?" I point at one. An adventure shooting game. She looks over and nods. "Alright, but mind you this is a zombie related one." She smiles and nods, "I'm ready?" We go behind the curtain and press the start button. We pick up our guns as the screen changes to a facility. An old rundown facility, luckily I was able to change the language so Pucca could understand it better. "Alright cadet. We need you to get rid of all mutants, you think you can handle that?" The man laughs, "what am I saying of course you can! Now be careful and get to work.", Our player begins to walk. Soon we spot zombies and begin to shoot, the graphics were so lifelike. It was amazingly graphic too. Blood splatters everywhere, onto the screen, the door, and our guns. We look at each other and smirk. Zombies appeared everywhere and we began shooting like crazy. My adrenaline grew and my heart was beating faster and faster as we killed more and more mutants.

We entered Pucca's apartment. Ching and Abyo entered their room. Leaving me and Pucca in the living room. "Hey, go chnage. I want to take you out tonight." I whisper to Pucca, she looks at me and nods.
