It was 1 P.M in Miami, Florida in a room that was using the sun as a light that Kuki Sanban stared at a seemingly blank sheet of paper only four small words were written upon it: "My Dearest Wallabee Beetles," she had written so many notes with those four words with that address nearly 700 letters addressed to Mr.W.B each one of those notes being neglected when it came to the mail. Kuki stared tears coming to her eyes she had so much to say so much she could write so she started it with the date....
"June 12th, 2009" "My darling Kuki Sanban,"
Wallabee Beetles looked down at the letter it had been two hours since he started writing and all he had was this.
"UGH!" he grunted loudly sweeping everything off the table to the floor the line paper and pen included.
"This is BULLSHIT!" he shouted loudly but not so loud that it would wake up his family he then slammed his head into the desk, he heard a crack but he figured it was just the desk not his skull because ever since he was a kid he'd been told he was hard headed he then smiled at the thought of Kuki calling him hard-headed.
When he lifted his head he felt super light headed and as he suspected there was a crack in the desk where he had slammed his big head. He put his hand to his forehead where he could now feel a large gash he pulled his hand away to see blood lots and lots of blood.
"Fuck," he mumbled pushing the chair back when he stood up he stumbled catching himself the pain of the whole thing was so intense he just wanted to cry "No Wally you are NOT going to cry, you were so tough as a KND don't let being a teenager make if any different," he kept muttering this as he (barley) made it to the bathroom. He turned the lights on and looked at the mirror.
Kuki looked at her reflection in the mirror on the back of her bedroom door feeling mortified at what she saw. Her hair looked really greasy and unkept, her face looked pale and oily and her clothes the same as they've always been except she wore a green v-neck with black jeans rather then the sweater and tights she used to wear. She had grown everywhere her chest had grown as did her hips and butt, she was lucky to have grown as much as she had according to her mom who was pencil thin Kuki was more like the skinny markers not as big as jumbo markers but not as skinny as a color pencil. Kuki had always wanted to send a picture of herself to Wally but she never believed she looked good enough so she never bothered to even take one.
Kiki turned around angered by what she saw in the mirror and began to walk towards her bookshelf where all her pictures albums stayed she drew out the biggest one, it was purple and had Rainbow Monkeys on it. She opened and saw that the first picture was all five of them, the Kids Next Door, Sector V. They had their arms thrown around each other's necks, Nigel's left arm hung over Hoagies shoulder, Hoagie's right arm was flung over Nigel's shoulder and his left was flung over Kuki herself and in turn Kukis arms were around Hoagie and Wally and Wally's arms were over Kuki and Abby. Tears began to sting her eyes as she looked through the rest of the pictures, ones of just her and Nigel, some of her and Hoagie and ones of her and Abby. She flipped to the last page where her most favorite picture was, it was of she and Wally holding hands on the porch of her house the day she was decommissioned which left Wally all by himself in Sector V with the new 1,2,3,&5 she could tell he was going to be lonely forever. She stared at him in the picture they were smiling at each other a happy but upsetting time for both of them.
Wally had expected more from the gash seeing as he had broken a desk and his hand had been soaked with blood but the cut he saw in the mirror was not so bad all he needed was to clean it and put a band-aid on it and he would be fine. He washed his hand and began to dig through everything he could to find the alcohol and band aids. He grabbed a towel and soaked it with water to clear the blood; once it was clear he grabbed the alcohol and poured it on to a paper towel and right when he placed it all he could feel was burning.
"AAH." he clenched his teeth shut not wanting to scream, man did the burn hurt. Once he disinfected the cut he put a XL-band-aid above his brow threw away the alcohol and blood stained paper towels and threw the blood stained towel into a bag where he would keep in his room until his parents left for work the next day. He threw the lights off, bag in hand and began to his room. Once he got inside he shut the door with his foot and threw the bag he held in his hamper. The clock read 3 A.M. Wally knew in Florida were Kuki was it had to have been like 2 P.M he wished he could call her, e-mail, facebook her anything but he had nothing of hers, he wasn't even sure what part of Florida she was in all he knew right then is that he had to leave, he could no longer stay in Australia.
Kuki just stared at the photo tears willing in her eyes, it was then she decided what she would be doing for the rest of her summer break she jumped up her bed and threw open her door and began to run down stairs.
"MUSHI! Where is the phone?" She shouted, thankful that her parents were at work, when she didn't get an answer she tried again, "Mush-" when she got to the living room she saw that her sister was sitting in front of the TV the phone in her hand.
"No way! Joe is so much cuter than Nick," Kuki rolled her eyes, of course that's what a 7 year old would want to talk on the phone about, which Jonas Brother was cuter.
"Nick is cuter, now please can I use the phone it is important!" Kuki snapped sticking her hand out.
"Ugh, Jessie, I got to go my evil big sister is making me give her the phone," Mushi whined telling her friend goodbye, Kuki then snatched the phone from her little sister's hand.
"Bye Jessie," she said before clicking the end button, she then turned around and began to run up the stairs to her room.
"Wait Kuki," Mushi jumped off the couch and began to run towards her sister's room when she got to it she was saddened to see that the door had been closed, "Kuks!
"Go away Mushi," Kuki began to dig through her closet for her suitcase, as she waited for Abby to answer her phone.
"Hello?" Abby finally answered making Kuki feel very relieved, "Kuki are you there?" she asked.
"Yeah I'm here sorry I got er-distracted for a moment but anyway listen, what are your plans for this summer?" Kuki asked sitting on her bed, she should wait to see what Abby would say before she just assumed that she would be allowed to even stay at her house.
"Abby's not doing much 'is summa, no jus hanging with Hoagie and Nigel, why?" Abby asked using third person as usual, the sound of it made Kuki smile, like old times.
"If I were to come and visit would your parents let me stay at your house?" Kuki asked she began to examine the nails of her left hand as she waited for an answer.
"Of course they wouldn't mind! They both aren't eva home," Abby answered a hint of excitement in her voice, "why are you planning on traveling up here with your family?" she asked the excitement still noticeable.
"Well I was thinking of taking a Greyhound bus up there, it would only take a day," Kuki admitted now lying down.
"I think my mom's home, hold on I'll go ask," Kuki waited for what seemed like ten minutes, the Lincolns must have said no, Kuki began to feel sad at the realization that she couldn't go spend the summer with three of her best friends.
"Kuks, are 'ou still there?" It was Abby, the excitement in her voice was no longer hidden it was all over the place, "My mom said yes! Abby gets to see her best friend!!" she shouted.
"Oh my god, seriously?! YAY!" Kuki cheered jumping off of her bed and began to dance something she didn't seem to do ever since she moved to Miami.
"Wait Kuki, there is one condition!" Abby laughed they excitement still in her voice, "you betta bring a bathing suit! And you should probably bring money, also there is so much to do here now as teenagers and guess what? Hoagie can drive so it makes everything ten times betta!" Kuki smiled at the sound of Hoagies name, it had been so long since she had even talked to him.
"You got it Numbuh five- I mean Abby," Kuki stopped dancing after she pronounced the words "numbuh five" Abby seemed to have gotten quite too.
"It's alright, Abby, still calls Hoagie Numbuh 2 and Nigel Numbuh 1, it's a force of habit that has been really had to break even after three years," Abby admitted, Kuki could just tell that a smile was on her face.
"Oh alright, I haven't said it in awhile so the sound of it coming out of my mouth sounded right," Kuki admitted lying down once again.
"Like I said, I do it too, but anyways when do you plan on coming?" Abby asked, Kuki picked up her iTouch that was sitting on the bedside table.
"Well it depends on what my parents say but," she clicked on the calendar app and began to look at the dates, "I'm thinking June 15th 3 days from today."
"Sounds good ta Abby, just let 'er know," Abby said, "well I got to go, call me when you've talked to your parents so I can let my mom and dad know ok?"
"Ok, I'll talk to you later than Abby," Kuki felt tears began to come to her eyes, what if her parents said no? she would be so devastated. "Oh and Abby don't tell anyone, no Hoagie or Nigel."
"Of course I wouldn't bye Kuks, Love you," Abby said, Kuki felt herself blush, every time she got off the phone with Abby they'd say "I love you" to each other due to the fact that they never saw each other anymore.
"Love you too Abby," Kuki then hung up the phone and lied down her parents just had to say yes and if they said no? Then Kuki would be going anyway with all the money from her own bank account in which she had a credit card for.
"WALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLY!"
Wally lifted the pillow from under his head and put it over his face trying to ignore his baby brother, Joey.
"Wally, I know you can hear me," he laughed with his little four year old voice, Wally smiled from underneath his pillow how could ignore such a cute little kid?
"What is it that you want Joey?" Wally asked turning to face his little brother who looked almost identical to himself when he was that age, shaggy long blonde hair and an orange jacket.
"I was just told by mum to tell you to get up for breakfast," Joey smiled nodding his head proud that he had finished the sentence without missing up too much.
"Ok," Wally lifted himself throwing the pillow at Joey, who just dodged it laughing up a storm "they always said you were betta at dodge ball then I was," Wally laughed standing up but once he did he began to feel light headed once more.
"Wally what's wrong?" Joey asked running over to the bed to not knowing that his brother had been so stupid a few hours before banging his head on his desk.
"I'm fine Joey really ay how about you go tell mum and dad that I'm coming alright?" Wally told his little brother to just go to the breakfast table and wait for him.
"Okie dokie," Joey then left and began to the kitchen where Wally would soon have to face his mother and father with a large gash on his forehead.
"Wallabee, nice of you to join us finally," Wally's father said cynically for reasons Wally didn't know he hadn't done anything wrong at least he didn't think he did, I mean he did break his desk but if they were asleep like they should have been then they had no clue.
"I didn't do it dad I promise," Wally joked sitting down across from his father who just let his eyes stay on the sports magazine in front of him.
"Good day, Wallabee," his mother recognized him placing blueberry pancakes in front of him, then his father and then in front of Joey she then sat down herself with out pancakes just fruit. "So this morning has been-," Wally knew his mother would just talk about either the vegetables outside or the flowers or the-" good heavens Wally what did you do to your forehead?!" she now panicked getting up from her seat at the table, his father then looked up from his magazine. "Daniel did you see this?" Wally's mother asked his father who shook his head.
"Ay, its nothin' mum really," Wally assured her even though he knew it was a lie a big lie, there was something wrong with it a big something.
"Did you crash into the edge of your bed or something? I heard noise but I figured it was just a cat outside or something like that," His mom said, of course she wouldn't have checked up on me, I could have cracked my head up for all she knew and she didn't seem to care too much.
"Like I said its nothing don't worry so much," he lied digging into his pancakes but before he could even take a bite his mom grabbed him by the hair and pulled his head back, "Ouch mum what was that fo'?" he yelped feeling like she was going to pull out all his hair.
"This isn't just nothing Wallabee, Daniel I think we should take him to the hospital," Wally's mother urged causing Wally to boil in anger.
"De-," Wally's dad began but Wally wouldn't let him finish, he slammed his fork on the table and pulled his head from his mom and pushed the chair back nearly running over her foot and stood up.
"The only place I want to go is out of here!" he snapped as he began to his room his mom followed behind him.
"What do you mean by that?!" she asked angered now, Wally stopped at the sound of her voice being so close, he turned to look at her she stood with her hand on the hips as usual he thought.
"I want to go to the States this summer," he finally said which caused his mother to gasp and his father to slam his on fork on the table, even Joey was quiet.
"Excuse me?" His mom stammered as if she didn't hear him.
"You know damn well what I just said!" he snapped walking past his mother and towards his father and Joey at the table, "If you let me go I plan to pay for it on my own, I still have money from when I life guarded last year and I have all the money that I was given for babysitting the Flynn's kids," he began to tell him the plan that had came to his mind when he fell asleep that morning, his mom just shook her head and his dad just nodded which to Wally didn't mean anything.
"No," was all his mom had said about it she walked away from him and over to the table she then sat down and began to eat her fruit, Wally's dad followed suite once he sat down they begin to talk as if nothing had happened.
Joey turned around in his high chair to look at Wally, "you're not going to eat with us?" he asked in his cute little voice at that moment both Wally's parents looked up waiting for an answer.
"No, sorry Joey I'm going to go back to sleep," Wally walked to his little brother and ratted his hair and kissed his head before heading back towards his bedroom. He was going back to America and he needed Nigel Uno's help to get him there.
....
He grabbed his cell phone and dialed Nigel's number, it might have been 12 hours a head there but that wouldn't stop Nigel from being awake, Nigel was always awake which seemed really weird to Wally who enjoyed sleep.
"Agent Nigel Uno here, who may I ask is calling?" Nigel said so seriously, Wally almost didn't know if he was joking like they normally did whenever they talked to each other on the phone.
"Agent Wallabee Beetles here, I have something to report sir," Wally said in almost as much seriousness as Nigel before.
"What is it Agent Beetles?" Agent Uno asked Wally could tell he wished he was a real secret agent to bad at 16 years old it was hard to be one.
"I'm coming to Cleveland," Wally announced dropping the ancient, at first he didn't hear anything from Nigel but then he heard.
"Are you shitting me?" he asked dropping the Agent act, Wally could tell he was happy they were best friends of course he was happy.
"Of course I ain't "shitting" you, why would I lie about that?!" Wally laughed turning his computer on, he would begin to book his flight hoping that they had one leaving tonight.
"Well I believe you told me once, I think two years ago, that you were moving back here and that never happened," Nigel said.
Wally just rolled his eyes, "Sorry 'bout that but you were so upset that day because Numbuh 5-I mean Abby had left to go on vacation," Wally had always know about Nigel's crush on Abby even when he was dating Lizzie he still had always treated the girl somewhat differently.
"Yeah I guess you're right. Wally if you don't mind me asking, do you ever speak to Numbuh 3-I mean Kuki?" Nigel asked causally obviously having no clue how it affected him, Wally felt his shoulders tense and his face blush at just the sound of her name.
"We haven't spoken since she moved to Florida," he admitted feeling like a loser, no one talked for what seemed like 10 minutes.
"I'm really sorry to hear about that," Nigel finally said, "Well I'm getting really tired just call me tomorrow and tell me when you are coming."
"Got it mate," Wally said, "oh wait I found a flight leaving on the 15th so I'm going to book it," Wally looked at everything making sure there were enough seats
"Ok just call me when you're leaving and when you get it," Nigel yawned, "Goodnight Wally."
"Oh Night too you mate," and with that Wally hung up the phone, he still continued to stare at the computer screen, his summer, his future all depended on that one flight.
Kuki ran up to her room she was so ecstatic her parents had said yes, she was going to be staying with Abby her best friend.
"Abby! It's Kuks, call me when you get this message, it's a go for Cleveland! I can't wait to see you! I already got my Greyhound bus ticket and everything, I'm leaving here at 11:45pm and I will be getting into your guys territory at 11:20 am a day later, can't wait to see you and the rest-," she paused at the rest because it wouldn't be the rest of the gang one person would be missing on the most important people to her, "the rest of the people residing in "Cleveeland" as we used to say, well I can't wait to see you at the Greyhound after my long bus ride, Okay? Ok, Love you, Kuks" Kuki hung up the phone she looked her floor the suitcase was packed and she was all ready to go, she was so excited she could barley sit still she turned on her tv and begin to watch some shows, she soon found herself falling asleep, the thoughts of Cleveland and her friends stuck in her mind.
