Thinking Of You
I'm making this ff for whoever lost a friend whether they moved, died, lost touch with them, or there was a fight that ended it. In this ff we see Kuki going from happy go lucky to depressed and she goes to wearing sunshiny colors to black and dark colors because she's lost the one person in her life that gave her meaning. As we go through the ff her other friends and family try to help her but they can't seem to get through to her depressing side. That's until a new boy blows into town with a golden heart, a fighting nature, and an eye for Kuki. Things don't start good for Kuki and the new boy but as the ff goes on we see her latching to him like a certain old friend she feels is reincarnated in this boy. So without further ado here's Thinking Of You which is based on Katy Perry's song so I don't own the song Katy Perry does and the characters belong to Mr. Warburton and please reply and tell me what you think.
Thinking Of You
Chapter One The many faces of Kuki Sanban
Kuki is standing in the auditorium as the dance was ending not wanting to say goodbye to him but knowing if she didn't do it tonight she would never get another chance because his flight left tonight.
"So Wally it's been fun and I have your Email, cell number, address, and house phone number, and you have all my information so I guess this is goodbye" Kuki wept as Wally held her close looking down at her.
"Kooks I hate this just as much as you do, I mean it's just not you I have to say goodbye to, I have to say goodbye to everyone I mean at least you still have them here" Wally said as Kuki felt all of her happiness draining and wearing black didn't seem so much of a bad thing to her.
"Wally I may have the others here but they don't give me meaning you do, Australia is a zillion miles away and I'll never be able to see you again".
"My parents invite to the airport still stands Kooks, and I sure you can bum a ride with Nigel, Rachel, Fanny, Abby, Hoagie, Sonia, or Lizzie".
Kuki sniffled and nodded her head walking to Wally's parents car and hopping in the back as Joey and Wally's parents saw the state of her.
"Don't cry Kuki remember you used to babysit me and I skinned my knees, you used to tell me that it's no use crying over skinned knees, and right now there's no use crying over going to Australia because it won't stop us" Joey said as Kuki bawled and Joey couldn't help but feel bad for her.
"We'll be back Kuki sweetie these around the world jobs never last, and when we get back we expect you to be happy go lucky not depressed, sad, and mad over things that can't be helped" Mrs. Beatles said as Kuki nodded rubbing her eyes and nose with her green sweater sleeve as Mr. Beatles looked at her.
"There was a song you sang to Joey when you skinned his knees too, you called it the ouchie, owie, and crying feel better song and I'm thinking it might help to sing it in your mind or maybe even out loud".
Kuki knew the song well as the words flooded her head and she sang them silently her tears, sniffling, and bad feelings slowly fading.
"When you skin your knees
Or scrape your elbow
Dry those tears
Because they don't need to be shown
Just remember my song
And you can never go wrong
This is the ouchie, owie, altogether crying feel better song
And this is my prescription for you
Just paste a smile on your face
And think of rays of sunshine
And that's how we chase the rain away
And that's what makes the pain go away
It's just the ouchie, owie, altogether now
The ouchie, owie altogether one more time
The ouchie, owie altogether crying feel better song" Kuki's mind sang as she smiled a painted on smile.

When they reached the airport Kuki slowly shuffled her feet as she met the others who also looked as if this was the most depressing day of their lives.
"Hi Kooks I thought you were going to work on that English essay you had to finish for Mrs. Wilson tomorrow" Sonia said sniffling and angrily wiping snot and tears from her eyes.
"This is more important than any English essay Sone, It's the last night I'll ever see him and I'm sure Mrs. Wilson can manage without the essay" Kuki said as Rachel, Nigel, Abby, Hoagie, Fanny, Lizzie, and Sonia looked surprised that bookworm Kuki was shrugging off homework.
"So I was thinking that with Wally gone you need a new boy to fantasize over Kooks, and with Sonia and I being cheerleaders I'm sure we can find the perfect match for you" Rachel said as Kuki's eyes widened and she shook her head no.
"I'm not going to move on Rache, Wally's coming back and I want to keep my options open for when he does come back".
"Well gang I guess this is see ya for now, I mean like Kuki said I'll be back and when I do things are going to be the same just like I never left".
Joey had been holding his composure for a long time but when he realized he'd never see Kuki again he ran into her arms crying as Kuki bawled and stroked his hair.
"Don't cry little man just remember the ouchie, owie crying feel better song, it'll help you through the rough times I promise" Kuki said as Joey shook his head no forgetting all the words Kuki taught him when he was three and was learning to ride his bike.
"I forgot the words Kuki and I feel bad because that was a special song we had and I went and forgot them" Joey moaned as Kuki handed him a music CD grinning through her tears as Joey looked at it .
"I thought you would so I made about a million CD's with the ouchie, owie crying feel better song and mommy and daddy will play it whenever you want them to, and you have a Discman so play it as loud as you like".
Joey, Mr. Beatles, Mrs. Beatles, and Wally hugged Kuki as the boarding call was heard and they were being led into the plane as all the friends feared for Kuki as Wally kissed her for what seemed like forever and she looked heartbroken as he walked away from her.
"Bye Kooks I'll never forget you or the rest of you, you guys are the best friends an Aussie can ever ask for" Wally said as Kuki waved with tears rolling down her face and the girls ran to her to console her.
"That's right let all those tears out girl it might just take all the weight on your mind away, and if crying does help then just cry your little heart out" Fanny said as Kuki just collapsed into her mumbling he's never coming back into Fanny's sweater.
"Look Kooks maybe he will come back you never know, he may be changed, he may not remember us, and he may be the little Aussie I used to bully, but who knows he just might know who we are when he comes back".

In Fanny's car Kuki's cries went to a sniffle as Fanny looked at her and Kuki rummaged in her CD bag for her Katy Perry One Of The Boys CD.
"Track 4 and hit repeat Fan, unless you don't mind that is because if you do I'll totally understand" Kuki said her voice clogged with sadness as Fanny put the CD in and put it on track 4 hitting repeat and play as Kuki sang along to the song.
"Comparisons are easily done
Once you've had a taste of perfection
Like an apple hanging from a tree
I picked the ripest one
I still got the seed
You said move on
Where do I go
I guess second best is all I will know".
Fanny looked at Kuki as she angrily wiped her eyes of tears and the snot running down her face as they neared a Mcdonald's.
"Are you as hungry as I am Kooks?, what do you say after the song we go and get some chow girl anything you want it's my treat" Fanny said as Kuki nodded anger, loneliness, depression, and sadness flowing through her body .
"Cause when I'm with him I'm thinking of you
(Thinking Of You Thinking Of You)
Thinking of you
What you would do
If you were the one
Who was spending the night
(Spending the night spending the night)
Oh I wish I was looking into" Kuki sang as Fanny pulled the car over in a parking lot where the friends were waiting.
"How's she holding up Fanny?, I mean she's not going to meltdown like a robot is she?" Hoagie asked as Fanny looked angrily down at him.
"As a matter of fact she might but you'd enjoy that wouldn't you science boy?, seeing her skin melt and her organs turn into mush at the drop of a hat?" Fanny said shoving past him as the girl's followed her to Kuki who was in her own world still singing.
"You're like an Indian Summer in the middle of Winter
Like a hard candy with a surprise center
How do I get better once I've had the best
You said there's tons of fish in the water
So the waters I will test" Kuki sang as Sonia, Rachel, Abby, Lizzie, and Fanny shook their heads.
"He sure made a good time to leave didn't he, it was their ten year anniversary and his parents decided now was the time to leave, the poor girl's broken hearted over this".
"She should be because he loved her and she loved him back but I guess parents are jerks like that and don't see true love for what it is" Rachel said as the girl's nodded and Kuki moaned banging her head on the dashboard as the girls hopped in the car hoping to ease her pain.
"He kissed my lips
I taste your mouth oh
(Taste your mouth)
He pulled me in
I was disgusted with myself" Kuki sang sadly as the girl's had no idea why Kuki was singing a song about a girl dating another guy and having feelings for the guy who left her.
"Kooks maybe we should put a happier song on, like Hot And Cold, or I Kissed A Girl this song doesn't seem to be helping you" Sonia said reaching for the next track button but Kuki slapped her hand away.
"It was his and my song and I will sing it from beginning to end so don't you dare change it" Kuki said in more of a growl than a happy go lucky voice and that was when the girl's saw her changing.
"Kooks I think Sonia is right with the song choice, I mean this can't be good for your sadness now can it, I mean it's just making you sadder instead of happier" Lizzie said speaking up for the first time as the girl's nodded and Kuki held her hand over the radio dials.
"Their my feelings and I will deal with them in my own way, now if you want to stay stop trying to change the song in my heart, but if you so much as touch that dial I'm kicking you out".
Kuki pushed play on the CD player as the chorus started and Kuki moaned singing along to it not missing a word.
"Cause when I'm with him I'm thinking of you
(Thinking Of You Thinking Of You)
Thinking of you
What you would do
If you were the one
Who was spending the night
(Spending the night spending the night)
Oh I wish I was looking into".
The girl's felt sorry for Kuki as her tears poured and she just laid her head back with her eyes closed letting visions of Wally flood her head and they were all of love.
"Walyyyyyyyyy why did you leave me?, what did I do wrong to make you leave for Australia and not stay with my family like what was originally planned?" Kuki screamed as the girl's had no idea what to do".
"Kuki just think now that you're single you can boyhop again like you used to, and I can be your wing woman like I used to be" Sonia said as Kuki angrily shifted her body and stared at Sonia.
"You've never had Wally so you don't know how it feels to lose him, he loved me and his damn parents just up and left thanks to a stupid job change for Mr. Beatles".
"Kooks we all lost him, we all loved him, and he took a part of each of us with him, more you than anybody else granted but a part of us is with him too" Fanny said as Kuki turned around to face the stars in the sky.
"You're the best
And yes I do regret
How I could let myself let you go
Now, now the lessons learned
I touched it
I was burned
Oh, I think you should know" Kuki sang as the girls just looked at her sadly.
"Kooks you have got to get a grip on yourself, I mean seeing you like this makes me think the world is crashing because Kuki Sanban is always smiling and never crying" Rachel said as Kuki just angrily waved her hand at Rachel wishing Wally was there to save her from her feelings.
"Come on sweetie some food will make you feel better I promise you that, you just need to eat away your feelings like Wally used to do and Hoagie still does" Sonia said as Kuki moaned at her exes first name.
"Cause when I'm with him I'm thinking of you
(Thinking of you thinking of you)
Thinking of you
What you would do
If you were the one
Who was spending the night
(Spending the night spending the night)
Oh I wish I was looking into your
Your eyes
Looking into your eyes
Looking into your eyes
Oh, won't you walk through
And bust in the door and take me away?
Oh no more mistakes
Cause in your eyes I'd like to stay
Stay" Kuki finished as the girl's sighed relief and led her to the doors of Chili's
"You'll see once you eat all your feelings will melt away with the taste of all the yummy food we'll eat, and what do you say to makeover's tomorrow at Rachel's house?" Fanny asked as Kuki mumbled whatever and pulled her cell phone out to call Wally.
"I was expecting you to call as soon as the plane lifted off Kooks, but I guess your friends had other plans didn't they?" Wally asked as Kuki smiled thinly and nodded her feelings erupting inside of her.
"I- called- to- say- that- I- heard- our- song- and- that- I- love- you- and- I'll- keep- the- song- around- when- I- want- to- think- of- you" Kuki said on the verge of crying fresh tears.
"Yea I hears it too seeing it's number one on my Ipod and on the radio, I just thought that maybe we should just be friends seeing I'm farther away and I don't do long distance relationships very well".
"I called to tell you the same thing Walls and I would love to be your friend, so how's the little man doing?".
"He hasn't turned his Discman off yet, he just hums that happy, little, tune you taught him Kooks, it's kind of like keeping a little piece of you around to him".
Kuki smiled thinly again as she was led to a table and the girl's and guys minus Kuki ordered drinks with dinner.
"I already miss you and the little man Wally, remember the first time we tried babysitting him and I had to teach you how to change his diaper" Kuki asked laughing as Wally laughed along with her.
"Yea what a date that was, we needed a second date to make up for our first one, but I also remember you kissed me that night and said that I was your little Wallybear" Wally said as Kuki heard Joey belting out the ouchie owie crying feel better song.
"I have to go Kooks but you keep a smile on your face and order a side of chicken fingers for me friend, and just know you can call me anytime day or night and I'll be on the phone with you".
Kuki hung up and ordered a pink lemonade as the waiter came back and sadly sipped it and the girls hoped she wasn't going to be like this forever having no idea just how hard happy go lucky girl was going to take Wally's move and how much she was going to change.
