The first chapter has a lot of intro but I promise this story will be good. It'll most likely be 5/6 chapters. Stick with it and I swear it won't disappoint!
Read and Review! I love to hear suggestions and feedback, even if it's just a "You suck!" or an "I love Wally! 3"
Disclaimer: I don't own KND because if I did there'd be way less action and way more romance and everyone would hate it except me. xD
Lots of things have changed about Kids Next Door over the last 4 years. Since they're 15, and no longer children, they had to leave KND. Fortunately, Numbuhs 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and their former Supreme Leader 362 were all accepted into the TND, so that they may continue defending kids worldwide.
Numbuh 1 came back from the Galactic KND when he was 13, and Numbuh 362 (or Rachel, as most of them now call her) have been dating ever since. They're a really cute couple actually. Nigel is much taller now, but otherwise the same. Still bald, still in his red shirts and khakis, and still a workaholic. Rachel is just a bit shorter than Nigel, has soft blond hair that reaches down to her shoulders, and always wears blue jeans with an orange tiger-patterned t-shirt, with an aqua longsleeve shirt underneath. But she's still the same strong leader and loyal friend she's always been.
Numbuh 5 is pretty different looking as well. Of course she never goes anywhere without her red hat, but she now wears denim shorts with a dark blue tank top with a white stripe down the side. She also wears her hair in a ponytail instead, revealing her thick curly hair. But she's just as calm, cool, and collected as always. Except now, under that calm, cool, exterior, lies a warm flame of love for a certain someone. None other, than her corny awkwardly nerdy friend, Hoagie P. Gilligan.
He's certainly thinned out over the years. Turned into quite the handsome nerd. No longer does he wear his pilot's cap, instead he just keeps his yellow goggles on. He wears a light blue button down over a white undershirt and tan pants. Still the same loving personality, and still the same affections for one Abigail Lincoln.
Numbuh 3 is as cute as ever, cheery, loving, and beautiful. She wears more form-fitting longsleeved t-shirts now, to reveal a slender girly figure, and a purple skirt to match. With long shiny raven hair and glittering violet eyes, how could she not capture the heart of beloved tough-guy Wallabee Beatles?
Still hiding his deep-rooted love for her, it's enough to make anyone scream. He still pretends to hate things lovey-dovey and girly, to try and hide his feelings, which is exactly why his mother is driving him to ballroom dancing class.
"Ma, dun' make me go, I dun' wanna be stuck in a room with a bunch o' cruddy girls! I'll die in there!" Wally slouched in the passenger seat of the car. This was going to be the worst hour of his life.
"With that kind of attitude you'll never find yourself a girlfriend."
"I don't want a cruddy girlfriend!" he lashed back at her.
"Again, with the anger, I don't know what kind of girl would put up with it. This is exactly why you have to take these classes! Get in touch with your feminine side!"
"I'm a guy, ma, I don't have a feminine side!"
"Okay, we're here Wallaboo! Now be good for the instructor."
"Whatever," he slammed the door behind him. He knew he was acting bratty. But he just wanted to be in the treehouse with his friends.
With that he entered the building where he'd be stuck dancing with a class of dumb girls for the next hour. He did notice a few guys, but only like 3. Or is it 5? Wally was never really good at math.
"Hi Wally, what are you doing here?" Wally spun around, only do see the subject of his fantasies for the last 7 years, Kuki Sanban.
"Oh hey there Kooks. My ma made me come here. You here to dance and stuff?"
"Yeah I thought it'd be really fun! It'll be even better now that we can do it together!"
That made Wally blush. "Uhh, yeah cool." he managed to say.
"WALLY!" some obnoxious girl interrupted. Wally turned around to see Sally, staring at him in awe.
"I never expected YOU to be here." Wally hated Sally with a passion. She has an embarrassing crush on him and she tells all her friends how they have the perfect couple name. 'Sally & Wally'! It's doesn't even rhyme, how stupid.
Speaking of stupid, Wally spied over her shoulder to see Kuki chatting with Pierre, the handsome french exchange student. At that moment, their grouchy dance instructor decides to make an entrance, screaming "Okay guys, partner up! We need to start fast so don't waste me time!"
Sally squeals at him "Wally! Let's be partners!"
"No. Bye." He starts to make his way towards Pierre and Kuki, where he can see her giggling at something he said.
"So my darling flower, will you do me the honor of letting me dance with an angel?" Pierre said as he took her hand. Wally felt like puking. What a phony. No way he was going to let Kuki dance with a creep like that!
"Back off french fry! Kuki promised she'd be my partner."
"Sorry Pierre, maybe another time!" Kuki said with a sympathizing smile.
"Don't worry, I love a girl who can honor her commitments." He shot Wally a pretentious glare before he walked away.
"SHUT UP!" the teacher yelled. "I only have 5 classes to prepare you pimply teenagers for the junior ball!"
"What's so great about a cruddy ball?" Wally soon regretted asking that.
"WHAT'S SO GREAT IS THAT THERE ARE VERY IMPORTANT PEOPLE THERE CRITIQUING MY STUDENTS AND I DON'T WANT TO RUIN MY PERFECT REPUTATION!"
She cleared her throat and continued. "So everyone will have assignments to practice during the week. this week we're working on footwork. By the end of this week I want you to have these steps ENGRAVED INTO YOUR SKULL. Got it? Now let's get moving."
Wallabee quickly moves himself to the back of the class and sways from side to side while everyone else tries to copy the instructors footwork. He stares at Kuki gliding her feet from one step to the next. He thinks "She looks so happy when she dances. Maybe this won't be too bad, I can always watch Kuki smile if I feel like I'm dying from boredification. She's so graceful. How am I suppose to keep up with that. Ugh, I'm going to make an idiot out of myself and she'll wish she picked Pierre as a partner. At least this nightmare is almost over, "
"Ooh! That was so fun!" Kuki cheers to him on their walk back to the treehouse.
"Ugh, are you kidding? That lady seriously expects of to remember all that crud?"
"It'll be just like your combat moves Wally! Except instead of hurting people, you twirl them around the dance floor! It might even be useful for TND!"
"Kooks, it's not fighting is you don't get to hurt someone." Wally sees something jump into the bushes out of the corner of his eye. Something the looked like a blur of light blue.
"Did you see that?"
"See what?" Kuki stared at him.
"Um. Nothing I guess. Nevermind."
"Okay! So Wally, when we get to the treehouse you want to practice our new steps together?"
"No way! Dancing for an hour with Miss Anger Management is bad enough."
"But you said you'd be my partner! And she told us to practice." "Well I ain't doin' any cruddy dancing with anyone." "To be honest," Wally thought, "I really wouldn't mind practicing with her. But what about the other operatives? They can't know about my dance class."
"You can be so mean sometimes! Pierre would've practiced with me."
"Pierre is a fake, he just likes ya 'cause you're pretty."
"What did you just say?" Kuki questioned. "Did he just say he thinks I'm pretty? Awe! That's so sweet."
"Uhm, I said he likes ya cause of your kitty." "Nice one, now she thinks your mean and weird."
"Oh, okay. But I don't have a cat." "Wally can be so weird sometimes."
When they arrived at the treehouse, Kuki was still a little upset with Wally for not wanting to practice with her, but she knows Wally isn't into that kind of stuff, and she's not going to try and force him to be any other way.
Nigel questioned as they walked in the door "How was your ballroom dance lesson Numbuh 3?"
Kuki jumped excitedly "It was so FUN! I can't wait for next week."
"Whatta bout you Numbuh 4?" said Hoagie "How was your combat training class?"
"Fine." Wally plopped down into the couch and turned on his favorite show 'Car Vs. Brickwall!" He needed some mindless violence to help him think.
Later that night he finds himself ringing the bell in front of Numbuh 3's room. She only has a curtain for a door, so they hung a cowbell that people could ring instead of knocking.
"Come in!"
"Uh, hey Kuki. I was thinking, maybe we can practice sometime." He saw her eyes light up with glee. He knew it'd be worth it.
"Really Wally? You mean it?"
He tried to put on his 'serious face' but he knew it wouldn't phase though Kuki. "But only at night, in my room, with the door locked, where nobody can ever see or hear us. Nobody can know I'm in a dance class! Especially Hoagie!"
"Awe thank you Wally! We'll have so much fun!" She wrapped her arms around him and hugged him with all her might. He was so tall she could no longer pick him up like she use to.
"How did I become so easy?" he said to himself as he lightly hugged her back.
As she released him she smiled up at him and said "Goodnight Wally! I'll see you at breakfast!" "Yeah, g'night Kooks" he smiled back as he walked out the door.
The next night as Wally was getting ready for bed he her someone knocking at his door. There he found his raven-haired beauty, all chipper and ready for practice.
"Do we really need to start just now? I'm tired."
"That's why I brought soda silly! We're gonna need the sugar."
"I think you don't need sugar."
"And I think you need all the practice you can get."
"I could be good if I felt like it!"
"Prove it." she stepped towards me challengingly, looking up at me with a confidant look on her face.
I looked down at her, with our faces only inches apart, in the same confidant manner. "Just show me the cruddy steps."
Please R&R, I'll love you for it.
