Author's Note: This was inspired by the film Barbie diaries (The barbie films are my cousins honestly!) and was next in line on my poll so here it is. Hops it's what you guys expected.Kuki strummed happily on her guitar. When she played or listened to music, she was in her own world. It was her life, her happiness. She'd always wanted to play a musical instrument and when her mother bought her own guitar for her twelfth birthday, she hadn't put it down since. Now she was in her final year at high school at the age of sixteen and had formed a band with her friends and played like a pro, you name the type of song and she was able to play it by ear in five minutes.
They sat in her garage, her, Abby and Rachel. She'd spent months making her garage into a cool hang out pad (I really want to do it but mum won't let me :-/ Meanie). It had a sofa, TV and was where their band would come for practice. They'd already practised and decided to chill. So Kuki had plugged in her ipod and played some rocking tunes as they read their magazines, they all bobbed their heads to the music.
"Wow, this is an impressive band practice." Wally chuckled as he walked in through the garage entrance and switched off her music. "I hate that tune."
"For your information, I think we practised for...a full ten minutes." Rachel smiled as she looked over to Abby with a smile.
Abby nodded. "Yeah, I'd say ten."
"Easily ten." Kuki agreed.
Abby then thought. "Well, that's eight if you count the snack break."
"So yeah...a full eight minutes." Rachel smiled, throwing her drumstick towards Wally, missing him by a centimetre when he ducked. The three girls laughed.
"Okay, I'm going to pretend that Rachel was aiming for the play button on the speaker." Wally joked.
Kuki rolled her eyes. "Oh how nice of you."
"Yeah, I'm just a nice guy. That's what you love about me." Wally grinned.
Since they'd started high school, Wally and Kuki had begun to flirt subtly without even knowing.
"What do want Wally?" Kuki sighed.
Wally shrugged. "The guys told me to come and remind you...Sunset? Night before beginning of last term at school? Sound familiar?"
"Oh! I didn't realise how late it was!" Kuki exclaimed. "Come on girls we have to go!"
"Yeah, time flies when you're not rehearsing." Wally said sarcastically.
"Shotgun!" Rachel yelled as they walked out of the garage.
Kuki tried to reach up for the door of the garage but couldn't reach it. "Hey You can't call shot gun 'til you see the car!"
Wally reached up and pulled down the door. Kuki smiled up at him and he smirked back.
"Small fry!" He said as he turned around.
Kuki tutted. "That's rich! You only got taller than me two years ago!"
They jogged and caught up with Rachel and Abby.
"Shotgun!" Abby yelled when the car was in sight.
"...Erm, you're driving!" Rachel laughed. "You're the only one with a license."
"I know." Abby shrugged. "I just wanted to win!"
The four friends laughed as they got in the car.
Abby sat in the drivers seat while Wally jumped shotgun before the other two girls could, so they sat in the back.
They met up with Nigel and Hoagie on the road to a mountain, where they parked their cars and gazed at the sunset over the fence. It had been a tradition of theirs since eighth grade, to go up to that exact spot the night before their last term at school before the holidays began, they'd go up there and make a wish for that term.
"This is it. When that Sun goes down, term has officially begun, and think about it...it';s probably our last year together as we're leaving that school." Hoagie stated, he was on the other side of the fence sitting on the grass and looking up at the big bright sun.
"Bring it on." Nigel replied, he and Rachel were now together. Rachel was leant over the fence, Nigel had his arms wrapped around her. He'd gathered the courage to ask her out at the end of last term and they'd been so happy since then.
"Numbuh 5's ready for it." Abby replied. Even though they'd left the KND, they'd not been decommissioned and the name of Numbuh 5 just stuck. "She's got her first ten outfits picked out. Numbuh 5's even numbered her jeans so that she doesn't accidentally wear them twice in one week."
"Wow, way to make the rest of us feel like a bunch of slackers." Wally chuckled. He was on the same side of the fence as Hoagie, his back leant against it.
Kuki, who was sat on the fence in between Wally and Abby giggled at him. "You made 26 movies this term Wally. You couldn't exactly call that slacking."
Wally had discovered a love for photography and filming around three years ago, Kuki couldn't count the amount of times she'd seen him with a video camera.
"Yeah, I'd call it becoming a nerd and wasting my week off by trying to learn how to make good videos...but the paper clip one I made was pretty cool, man that took me hours!"
"I didn't waste my term holiday. I spent the whole week practising this." Rachel said, pulling her drumsticks from her pocket and pushing Nigel off her as she stepped back and played a tune on the wooden fence, then threw the sticks in the air. She managed to catch one, everybody laughed as the other hit Nigel on the head.
"Ow! Well maybe a little more practise couldn't hurt." Nigel replied, rubbing his head.
Rachel had transformed into a real rock chick. All three of them had...but Rachel was the worst, she wore tight jeans and owned around ten different belts that were related to music and/or skulls. She always wore plain tops with some sort of symbol or text written on, or bizarre neon tops. Kuki absolutely adored her style, she was well known for having her own fashion and pulling it off well.
"Okay...maybe I did waste the week." Rachel giggled, picking up her drumstick.
Kuki shook her head. "I think that you guys have it backwards. Don't think of it as wasting a week. Think of it as...saving energy for an awesome final term!"
They all smiled and nodded in agreement.
"Guys it's time! Make a wish!" Rachel stated, pointing at the sun starting to disappear behind another hill. "You first Kuki."
"Okay." Kuki said. "I wish that I could anchor the school news channel this term."
"Since when?" Rachel laughed.
"I thought about it last term when I was helping out there for detention, it looked pretty cool." Kuki replied.
"Sounds great...you should go for it girl, you'll be a natural!" Abby told her.
"The whole time I've been here I felt like I wasn't even noticed by anyone...this year I want everything to change." Kuki said.
"Cool." Rachel Smiled. "Okay, my turn! I wish that I'd kick butt as a drummer this year!"
"I wish that I could get elected as class president." Abby added. "Since Geena's already left there's an opening."
"Go for it!" Kuki exclaimed. "Now you Nigel."
Nigel looked up and rested his head on Rachel's back. "Why do I need to wish when I've got everything I need?"
"Oh come on boring!" Abby moaned. "If you could ask for one more thing, what would it be?"
Nigel thought hard. "Hmm, I guess I want us guys to keep in touch after we finish school, We're not just some friends who can just lose touch when we go to different places."
"That's real nice." Kuki smiled. "Okay...Hoagie, what about you?"
"I'm not wishing!" Hoagie muttered. "It's not like the setting sun will grant it."
"Hoagie?" Abby said.
"Yeah?"
"Shut up!" Abby chuckled. The whole gang laughed, then all eyes went onto Wally.
"What?" He shrugged. "You can't say your wish out loud. You'll totally jinx it."
"We just did." Kuki pointed out.
"Yeah well, I know, sorry about that...could have been a great year for you guys." Wally said cockily, pressing his full weight against the wood behind him.
They all laughed as Kuki had one of her fits of rage and pushed Wally to the floor, Wally would have been hurtled down the hill had it not been for Hoagie grabbing his hood as he was pushed and carried on rolling.
