age 4

Kuki pouted as she kicked the purple ball through the playground alone… it was recess and she still hadn't made a single friend. Tears welled in her eyes, sniffling she rubbed her arm that was submerged under her green sleeve across her face, she was a big girl she wasn't going to cry… even if she had been made fun of for the way she talked or that she liked rainbow monkeys…Kuki stopped mid-stride looking down at the ball that had rolled a few feet in front of her and growled, how could you not like rainbow monkeys? Angrily she kicked the purple ball as hard as she could sending it flying through the air with great force, before realizing that the ball was in a straight collision course with a small boy, pegging him right in the back the head, knocking him to the ground. Kuki gasped and ran toward the injured blond kneeling at his side.

"Are you okay? I am sorry- I didn't mea-"

Kuki was cut short by a pair of emerald eyes staring at her; at first they seemed to flash with anger but seemed to fade into curiosity and wonder.

"Ya didn't mean to hit me?" His aussie voice laced with surprise

"No! Of course not! Why would I do something mean like that?"

"Its dodgeball, ya suppose to hit people with the ball… that's how you win?"

"Oh…"

He looked at her strangely, How did she not know what dodgeball was? The boy looked at the small girl in front of him, He had never seen her before, her face pale minus a tint of red that splashed across her face from embarrassment and her hair pulled back into to two pig tails that swung this way and that as she fidgeted.

"Either way though, you're the only person who has managed to hit me, on purpose or not!" He stood to his feet dusting off his blue overalls and offered her his hand, She looked up to him her lavender eyes wide and took his hand to get up.
"I'm Wallabee by the way!"

"My name is Kuki!" She smiled still having hold of his hand when she noticed his face becoming red she dropped it.

"So…uhm…" Wallabee shuffled his feet around not wanting to look up at her, he picked up the forgotten purple ball and tossed it between his hands "Would you…uhm…like to come play ball with me?"

"Hmmmm…" Kuki put her sleeve covered hand up to her chin in thought before she bounced up and grabbed his hand again pulling him with her towards the playground "OKAY! You look like fun anyway!"

Age 6

Another Crack of lightning flashed from the window of the living room, Illuminating the dark area full of pillow forts and tents made of sheets. Kuki sat in her sleeping bag scared hugging her orange rainbow monkey tightly to her. Her parents had left for the weekend on a business trip and left her to stay at her best friend Wally's house, not that she minded at all! She was excited to get to spend time with her best friend without having to leave in the middle of one of their adventures or games, staying up talking and telling stories seemed like a lot of fun, but now when the house quite minus the sounds of Wally's dad snoring from upstairs and a thunderstorm outside…she was afraid… storms had always made her scared… Another flash of lighting followed by a crash of thunder caused Kuki to let out a small screech before she started crying hiding her head under her covers with her rainbow monkey... What was it her mommy had said to her when it stormed outside?

Thunder and Lightning aren't so frightening…

"Thunder and Lightning aren't so frightening…" She whispered to herself "Thunder and Lightning aren't so frightening…Thunder and Lightning aren't so frightening… but I am scared…"

BOOM!

Thunder roared over head causing the little Asian girl to cry out again.

"Kooks?" Wally looked over to see a trembling lump in the green sleeping bag that his best friend occupied wiping the sleep from his eyes, A small whimper came from the shaking mass "Kuki? What's wrong?" he crawled over to her sleeping bag and lifted the covers to see tears streaming down her face.

"W-Wally?" Her voice shook with fright looking up at him with her wide sad eyes,

BOOM!

"I AM SCARED!" Kuki jumped out of her bag and tackled Wally clinging on as if he was the only thing holding her here. Wally stared at the crying ebony haired girl who was now on top of him, unsure of how to calm her down he wrapped his arms around her back pressing the back of her head to his chest tightly.

"It okay Kooks… I gotcha…"

Kuki's sobs quieted down to the occasional sniffling before she finally found herself lulled to sleep by Wally's shushing and comfort.

The blond stayed awake for a little while longer after Kuki feel back asleep before he too joined her.

Later the next morning Sally Beatles came down stairs to start breakfast, she glanced into the living room around the debris of toys and pillows from a nights play to see her son hugging Kuki protectively to himself all while the girl she had come to know as her adoptive daughter cuddled up to Wally with a rainbow money sandwiched between them, With a smile she snapped a picture of the sleeping pair. She was sure Her and Genki Sanban would be gushing over this picture when she came back from her trip, she could almost see the wedding plans now.
