Mushi SanBan: I wrote this story a long time ago, about two or three months ago, and I only got to chapter 2. So I'm rewriting it for this site. Please R&R!

Note: Kuki is 18 and Wally is 19. Just thought I'd tell everyone.

Chapter 1: Never Again

Kuki drove as fast as she could down the highway. She had to be at work in ten minutes and she just knew she was going to be late again. She almost always was.

When she saw the Pizza Plus sign she pulled in, jumped out of her car, and ran inside. Her boss was waiting for her, as usual.

" Late, again?" her boss said, " This is your third time this week, Sanban. Try not to do it again."

" I'll try not to, but I can't guarantee that I won't." Kuki said.

Her boss nodded her head and told Kuki to get to work. Kuki went to the back and put her apron on. Man, she hated that apron. Abby came over to her and asked her if she was alright.

" I was late again today and the boss got mad at me." Kuki said, " I can't help it. I had to stop by the dress shop and get my wedding dress sized for tomorrow."

" I can't stand our boss!" Abby said, " Anyway, what time is the wedding?"

" 4:00 pm. Can you come?" Kuki asked.

Abby thought for a moment and then said, " I'll be there. I'm not going to miss your wedding, Mrs. Beatles."

They both laughed before they got to work making the dough.

Later that night when they got off work, they ran over to Sonics to get something to eat. They hated to eat where they worked at. Abby paid for it as kind of a before-wedding gift.

" I hope my mom doesn't cry at the wedding." Kuki said, " Remember when I went on my first date and she kept crying and grabbing my arms and legs?"

Abby laughed and said, " Yeah. I was hiding in the closet because you wanted me to scare Wally when he walked in. I never got to do that though. You're mom kind of ruined it."

" Yeah. And you were stuck in that closet until I got back." Kuki said.

Abby heard 'Every Heart', the 4th Inuyasha ending theme, as Kuki took out her cell-phone.

" Hello? Hey!" Kuki said into the phone, " Nothing, what are you doing? Oh. I'll be there in a couple of minutes. Okay. Love you too. Bye."

" Let me guess. That was Wally." Abby said. Kuki nodded her head and stood up.

" I gotta go, Abby. He wants me to come home. See ya tomorrow at the wedding." Kuki said. Abby waved as Kuki turned around to leave.

When she got home Wally was waiting on the porch for her. She ran up and hugged him and they went inside.

" Where were you? I thought you got off at six." Wally said as he threw himself down onto the recliner.

" Abby and I went to Sonics." Kuki said, " She paid for me too. Isn't that nice?"

" Yeah, I guess. But how do I know you were really with Abby?" Wally said. Kuki's mouth dropped and her face went pale.

" Wallabee Beatles?! Are you accusing me of cheating on you?!!!" Kuki said.

" I'm not accusing you, I'm just saying." Wally said. Kuki's face grew angry and she stomped over to him.

" That's not what it sounded like to me! I can't believe you'd say something like that!" she said.

" Well you heard wrong!"

" Shut up! I did not! You're being so unfair right now!"

" Fine! If you don't like it leave!"

Kuki felt tears stream down her face. Did he just say what she thought he said? She ran out the door, jumped in her car, and drove as fast as she could toAbby's house. All the way there her cellphone kept ringing, and she just knew it was him. But she didn't want to hear his voice anymore. Never again.
