Author's note: This is one of my favorite films of all time and I thought it would go great with a bit of Wally/Kukiness!!!
Enjoy,
~x~
Wally coughed as he sat playing on his gameboy. He'd been sick all weekend and had to miss school, (Much to his disgust of course).
His mother walked in with some milk and cookies for him.
"Hey my little Wallabee, how ya feelin' sport?" She asked him, placing a hand over his forehead to feel his temperature.
"Alright." Wally said in a croaky voice.
"Hmm, you're still pretty hot sport. Guess what?" His mother said as she perched on his bed.
"I give up." He said grumpily.
"Your little Kuki friend has come to see you." His mom said standing up and beginning to walk to the door. "I'll send her up."
"Mom! Can't you tell her I'm sick?" Wally whined.
"That's why she's come to see you my little kangaroo!"
"She'll give me a big bear hug, I hate that!" He moaned again.
"Maybe she won't, girls are often too scared to catch something." His mom said, chuckling as she walked out.
Wally heard Kuki bounding up the stairs. She opened the door.
"Hi Wally!" She smiled, running over to him and pulling him into an extremely tight bear hug. "How're you feeling?"
"Well I was feeling a little better." He scowled.
Kuki giggled. Thankfully, not understanding what he'd just said.
"I got something for you." She grinned, reaching into her bag and pulling out a brown book. Placing it next to him.
"A book?" He tried to sound slightly interested. Kuki nodded happily.
"Yeah, my father read it to me when I was sick. It helped me feel so much better, so now I'm going to read it to you." She smiled and opened it.
"Any sports in it?" Wally asked hopefully.
Kuki nodded. "You'll love it Wally; fencing, fighting, giants, monsters, chases, escapes, true love, miracles."
Wally rolled his eyes, If Kuki liked it, it had to be soppy.
"Alright, it doesn't sound too bad, I'll try to stay awake." He replied, putting away his gameboy and getting into a comfortable position to listen to her.
"Thankyou." Kuki grinned widely, she opened the book and then glanced up at him. "I always change the characters a little, you know, so that it's like the Kids Next Door adventure. It's always more fun then."
"Whatever." Was the response she got from Wally.
She took a deep breath and began to read.
"The Princess Bride, by S. Morgenstern, chapter one"
[view goes to Kuki's story]

Kuki was brought up in a small house. In the city of Cleveland.
She loved playing with her rainbow monkeys, and tormenting her fellow operative in an organization she was in. His name was Wally, but she never called him that.

"Isn't that a wonderful beginning!" Kuki squealed.
"Yeah, it sounds sooo not crud!" Wally replied sarcastically, crossing his arms. Why did his mom insist on putting him through this?

Nothing gave Kuki more pleasure than ordering Wally around.
"Numbuh 4!" She said. "Come and have a tea party with me and my rainbow monkeys."
"Crud!." Wally grumbled.
That was all he ever said to her
Later on, Kuki walked over to Wally, who was playing on his game.
"Numbuh 4! Watch this movie with me!" She glanced at him and he scowled. "Please?"
"Aw crud!"
That day, she was amazed to discover that when he said Aw Crud, what he really meant was I love you.
She sat on the sofa, hugging her rainbow monkey. Wally came in and sat not far from her.
And she was even more amazed the day that she found out, she truly loved him back.
Wally sighed and began to get up.
"Numbuh 4!" She said, trying to stop him from leaving. He looked at her. She didn't know what to say next.
"Get me a glass of milk?" She asked. He walked into the kitchen and handed it to her, they both gazed into each other's eyes.
"Crud!" He smiled.
They sat on a fence, overlooking the town below. The sun was setting, they both looked into each others eyes and slowly moved closer to each other. In the red glow of the sunset, they were locked into a passionate kiss.

"Whoa, whoa, hold it, hold it right there!" Wally stopped her from reading. She looked at him impatiently.
"Is this a trick? Are you tryin' to trick me? Where's the sports?...Is this a kissing book?" He queried, disgusted at that last sentence.
"Just wait." Kuki said to him.
"Well when's it gonna' get good?" He was silenced by Kuki's death glare.

Wally was forced to move away. So he packed his few belongings and he and his family caught the ferry to Austrailia, Wally's homeland.
Wally and Kuki stood outside Wally's house in an embrace. This was a very emotional time for Kuki.

"I don't believe this!" Waly moaned, smacking his forehead.

"I'll never see you again." Kuki sobbed.
"Course you will." Wally whispered to her.
"But…But what if anything happens to you?"
"Listen to me, I will come back for you." Wally said, lifting her chin so that she'd look into his eyes.
"How're you so sure?" Kuki whispered.
"This is true love Kuki. Do you think this happens everyday?" He replied, and kissed her on the forehead.
Wally didn't reach Australia, the dread pirate Sticky beard, invaded his ship. Sticky beard was never known for keeping prisoners alive. When Kuki got news that Wally had been murdered…

"Murdered by pirates is good" Wally said. Kuki glared at him and carried on.

…She locked herself in her room. and for days, she didn't eat or sleep.
"I'll never love again!" She promised herself.
Her decommissioning day came very soon.
After her thirteenth birthday, she could hardly remember a thing. But still, she remembered every detail of her and Wally.
The friendship, the love, the life, the death…
