[Scene opens on Garu standing in front of a fishing bait stand, with Santa dressed as a fish inside. Thinking which bucket of bait to get, Garu picks one out.]

Santa: Oh ho ho ho! Here you go. [Santa hands Garu the bucket. Pucca runs up to Garu and giggles lovingly, which Garu responds to by rolling his eyes. Scene pans over to Ring RIng walking up to Ching, who is skipping rope.]

Ring Ring: Hello peasant! Look at my new things: [The items sparkle] new shoes, new gloves, and: a new hair tie! And that’s not all: [Scene zooms out to show a robot carrying Yuni on a pillow] this is my new robot servant for Yuni. Now I’m the girl who has everything!

Ching: Everything… but a boyfriend. [Scene pans over to Pucca running up to Garu and throwing herself on top of him, with Garu trying to get up] Aww.

Ring Ring: [Thinking] Hmm… maybe you’re right. [Garu gets up and flees from Pucca. She gasps as Garu runs to a canoe and rows far away. Pucca gets up and fawns over him as the scene fades to black.]

[Scene fades back to Abyo, whistling as he walks throughout Sooga Village. He then stops and looks at something.]

Abyo: Eh? WHAT?! [Ching skips by and also stops to look at what Abyo is looking at.]

Ching: Huh? [Gasps. The two see Garu give Ring Ring a flower bouquet.]

Ring Ring: [Loudly] Why yes Garu! I would love to go out with you!

Ching: What’s Garu doing?

Abyo: Pucca better not find out about this! [The two hear Pucca, worrying them. When she skips into the scene, the two run in front of her.]

Ching and Abyo: PUCCA! [The two stammer and chuckle awkwardly.]

Abyo: Uh… ah...

Ching: [Waves hello] Uh, hi Pucca! [Pucca becomes confused. She sees Garu in between Ching and Abyo as they talk over each other. She tries to look over them, which the two respond by moving to block Garu] So, how’s it goin’? Whatcha doin’?

Abyo: Whatcha doin’? Havin’ fun things? Nice weather we’re having, isn’t it?

Ching: Let’s go to my house for tea!

Abyo: Just turn around! [Chuckles nervously as Pucca becomes red with anger] Nothing to see behind us! [Pucca pushes the two aside and is shocked to see Garu and Ring Ring kissing each other. Ring Ring then looks at Pucca directly.]

Ring Ring: Now I really do have everything! [Pucca turns blue in shock as her heartbeat pulses and her heart, shown in the background, shatters, with the scene fading to white.]

[Scene fades back to the Turtle Training Hall. A stormy cloud looms over a crying Pucca’s head as Ching tries to comfort her.]

Ching: Mm, don’t worry. You’ll get over Garu. Just… try not to think about him, okay? [Pucca wails even louder, causing Won to jump and cluck loudly. The phone next to Pucca rings and Pucca answers it.]

Robot: [Over phone] This is an automated message to remind you that Garu & Ring Ring [Turns red] are still in love & you’re not. [Monotone laugh. Pucca becomes so mad that she yanks the telephone, causing Ring Ring’s robot, talking on the other end of the line, to crash through the wall. It gets up, shaking in fear] This message was brought to you by: Ring Ring. [Pucca seethes] Don’t beat me, I am just the messenger. [Scene pans over to Ching as Pucca destroys the robot offscreen. When Pucca finishes, the robot, in pieces, limps away as it says “ow” repeatedly.]

[Scene transitions to a silently crying Pucca walking throughout Sooga Village.]

Ring Ring: [Offscreen] Hey, Pucca! [Pucca looks up. Garu, wheeling Ring Ring on a carriage, runs up to Pucca. Ring Ring hops off the carriage as Garu gives Pucca a heart shaped box of chocolates] Garu just wanted to give you a little something to show his affection. [Pucca giggles and takes it. When she opens it, the inside is revealed to be empty except for cobwebs and a spider] Hah! It’s empty! Just like his feelings for you. [The storm cloud over Pucca grows larger as Ring Ring laughs. She throws the box away and runs away crying] What? Was it something I said? I hope so. [Laughs.]

[Scene transitions to Santa hanging Christmas lights outside his house. Ching walks up to him.]

Ching: Santa, have you seen Pucca?

Santa: Oh ho ho ho, yes! I tried to cheer her up, but nothing helped, so I put her to work! [Scene pans over to Pucca crying on a water wheel, which generates electricity] You wouldn’t believe how much she saves me on electricity! [Ching swoops in and takes Pucca. The Christmas lights shut off as a result. Santa sighs in disappointment.]

[Scene transitions to Ring Ring walking in Ching and Pucca’s direction. Ching notices her and calls her out.]

Ching: Hey Ring Ring. Where’s Garu? Did he break up with you?

Ring Ring: No, he went shopping for me. That’s how much he loves me. [The girls see Garu walking up to Ring Ring with a bag. He digs out a wedding ring with a shiny diamond on it, proposing to Ring Ring] What? You want to marry me so I won’t be lonely like Pucca? Okay! [Ring Ring happily runs and takes Garu away. Ching looks back at Pucca, who is no longer crying, as the storm cloud above her rumbles.]

Ching: Uh… Pucca? [The storm cloud starts to rain and grows] Are you okay...? [The storm cloud grows so big it covers the entirety of Sooga Village. It looms over the Goh-Rong Restaurant with the three chefs inside.]

Uncle Dumpling: Oh dear.

Linguini: Pucca’s foul mood is causing foul weather!

Ho: Is there anyone who can stop this?

[Scene pans out to show the three chefs standing outside as the weather becomes stormy, flashing white to show Garu, still in a canoe, fishing. Seeing the bad weather, Garu puts down his fishing rod and rows back to land. A bolt of lightning transitions the scene to show Ring Ring and Garu getting ready to be married in front of a building, with Master Soo officiating it. Unromantic music plays as gusts of wind blow by. Pucca is seen angrily watching in the crowd sitting between Ching and Abyo.]

Ching: Are you sure you want to be here, Pucca? [Pucca holds her hand out to shush Ching. Ring Ring scolds Master Soo, who is distracted by the weather.]

Ring Ring: Hurry it up!

Master Soo: Do you, Ring Ring, take Garu to be your... husband?

Ring Ring: [Looking at Pucca with red in her eyes] I do. [Pucca growls, fuming with rage.]

Master Soo: And do you, Garu, take Ring Ring to be your wife, [Speaks faster] instead of Pucca, who you don’t like anymore? [Garu nods. Another Garu clears his throat to get everyone’s attention. They are surprised as the other Garu, holding the fishing rod, stands. The three chefs, Ching and Pucca gasp. Abyo looks back at the Garu at the altar, who starts sweating.]

Abyo: Garu times two? What?

Ring Ring: Isn’t it obvious? [Pointing to the Garu with the fishing rod] He’s an imposter!

[Garu jumps over to the other Garu, who freaks out and tries running away. Garu rips his mask off, revealing the person to be Dada. Everyone gasps.]

Dada: Ah! Don’t hurt me! [Dada hides behind Ring Ring, who smacks him away.]

Ring Ring: Dada! How dare you try and trick me! [Ring Ring grabs a hold of Garu] Come on, Garu Cakes. Let’s finish the job. [Garu tries to release Ring Ring’s grasp. Pucca becomes so infuriated, the gusts of wind become stronger as bolts of lightning zap the decorative wreath at the altar.]

Master Soo: I now pronounce myself... gone! [Master Soo zooms away. Ring Ring throws Garu away, talking to Pucca.]

Ring Ring: Listen up, dollface. [Transforming to Yang form] There’s only one girl WHO CAN HAVE EVERYTHING AND THAT’S: MEEEEE! [Ring Ring glimmers in anger as she grabs Garu and mocks Pucca] What’re you gonna do about it, cry? [The audience, seeing Pucca, flee the scene. The three chefs hide under a table that has a wedding cake with a Ring Ring and Garu topper. Ching and Abyo watch, hiding under chairs. A white ring glows around Pucca as the energy surrounding her becomes so powerful, her hair bands snap off. Ring Ring growls and tries hitting Pucca, only to reveal that she is being protected by a force field created by her energy. Ring Ring continues to try and hit Pucca as she powerfully stomps towards her. The decorative wreath gets pulled from the ground and whacks Ring Ring, who drops Garu. Garu falls and hides next to the cake as Ring Ring grabs a hold of the building’s roof. A vacuum hole opens in the sky. Pucca releases her festering energy] No! Pucca, I’m sorr- [The building unhinges. Garu sees the cake with the topper and kicks it. As Ring Ring screams, the cake lands on her face, causing her to let go of the building as she and it gets sucked away into the hole] I’ll get you for this, Pucca! [The hole closes and the weather returns to normal, with sun rays shining through the clouds. Ching and Abyo and the three chefs come out of their hiding spots.]

Linguini: Remind me to never make Pucca mad. [Scene shows a crying Pucca next to Garu at the destroyed altar, who looks at him and looks down. Seeing Ring Ring’s dropped flower bouquet, Garu picks it up and offers it to Pucca, looking away and turning bright red. Pucca gasps happily and kisses Garu’s face, snuggling up to him as he closes his eyes. Ching and Abyo watch.]

Ching: Awww. [The two look up to the sky. The clouds go away and the sun shines brightly. It sparkles around the three chefs as Uncle Dumpling sighs.]

Uncle Dumpling: Sooga Village sure is beautiful when it’s sunny. [A rainbow forms a heart shape over Pucca and Garu as the audience watches them and the area sparkles. Scene fades to black.]
