Pucca and Garu have been enemies since childhood. Pucca absolutely hated how Garu and his two brothers, Abyo and Tobe— mostly Garu, of course, acted towards her. Garu was the leader of the RowdyRuff Boys. Garu would always damaged Pucca's things, interrupt what she were doing, causing chaos with his brothers around the city being the villains and pests that they are, and be so rowdy! Of course, the feelings were mutual between the two of them.
Even at school, Garu was no better towards Pucca. He’d take her homework, throw paper balls and pencils, ruin Pucca's school projects, shove her into her locker or anytime he saw her.. everything! Sometimes, the two would even end up in the office because of how bad their relationship was.
On the contrary, there was a turning point of events. As time passed, Garu was being a little weird. He’d ask Pucca for a pencil, chilled out a bit on the paper all and pencil throwing, name calling, but of course, Garu was still.. Garu in some ways. He’d even stop trying to start nor win arguments! Garu would even be a little speechless or flustered about some things when he spoke to Pucca, but she didn’t know what was up with him. It was like Garu was becoming nicer. Even his brothers Abyo and Tobe noticed his change of behavior. How odd..
Though, one rainy day, Pucca was digging through her school backpack to retrieve her umbrella.. but it wasn’t there. Ugh, Pucca forgot it! She was out in the rain getting soaked until there was a shadow that appeared over Pucca's body. She turned her head to see her childhood arch nemesis.. holding an umbrella over her head????
”What’re you starin’ at, punk? How could you be this stupid and forget your umbrella?” Garu grumbled, side eyeing Pucca as he stared out into the road. There was a little bit of red on his cheeks, or she thought there was. ”Well? Are ya gonna take it or not? I don’t have all day!” Garu barked at Pucca, having his free hand in his pocket with his backpack on his back.
