Disclaimer: I DO NOT own Codename: Kids Next Door!

I can't believe the day is finally here. I've been stuck in Japan for six years with these people I have to call a family. Now I am twenty and I have enough money for college and Abby bought the plane ticket for me. Now I just have to leave.

"Kuki! Dinner is almost ready!" Koy shouted at me. My so called family doesn't know I will be leaving. They told me I couldn't go, but that's why I'm going to sneak out my small little window.

I grabbed all the clothes that are needed and shoved them in my suitcase. Let's see. I have three suitcases and my piece of crap car is six blocks away. Think Kuki! Hmm. I took the biggest suitcase and threw it out the window. I looked out the window to make sure it landed safely. It did. It landed in some bushes.

I heard Koy walking up the staircase. I had to leave… Now! I grabbed my other bags and threw them out the window as well as myself. I landed on the ground pretty hard, but not hard enough for me to not move. I grabbed the smaller suitcases with one hand and the big one with my other hand and started running towards my crap car.

I turned my head around to see if Koy had saw. I saw her looking out the window and shaking her head then she disappeared. I ran faster. I turned around again and saw Koy running after me. "GET BACK HERE, KUKI!"

I ran as fast as I could. "Shit!" I finally reached my car and unlocked the trunk and shoved my suitcases in it. I opened the car door and started the engine, but it wouldn't start. "No no no no no no! Come on!" I tried again. "Start, please!" I turned my head and saw Koy she was a block away from me. "Dammit! Please, start!" I turned the key one more time and it started up. Yes! I put the petal to the metal and drove off.

I'm free!

I arrived at the airport in one hour and I only had ten minutes to get on the plane. When I reached the plane, I found my seat and prepared myself for the trip. I found myself thinking about what is was going to be like in Cleveland? Did Abby change? Will me and her still get a long? Will I find my prince charming?

I found myself closing my eyes and drifting to sleep.

I opened my eyes slowly and yawned a little. I was still on the plane and it just landed! Yay! I grabbed my suitcases and headed for the exit of the plane.

I walked out of the plane and smelt the fresh air. One of the first things I was going to do is call Abby! I pulled out my cell phone as I walked to the airplane lobby. I dialed Abby's number and sat down on a bench. She didn't answer her phone. I wonder what she was doing.

I knew where the college was so I decided just to take a cab to the college. I knew I was going to be sharing a dorm with Abby. She told me what dorm it was and Abby had sent me a key one month ago.

I grabbed my suitcases and grabbed a cab.

I paid the cab driver and started walking around the college. I went to go find my dorm. I had no idea where it was.

I found a map of the college and found exactly where I was and where I needed to go. So I began to walk to my new dorm.

I was getting closer. I turned a corner and- WAM. Something bumped into me. I was on the floor and something was reaching for my hand. I grabbed the mysterious hand and got pulled up.

"Are you okay?" The mysterious figure asked. My vision was still blurry, so I couldn't exactly see the person.

"Yeah." My vision cleared up. It was a tall skinny boy with brown hair. He was wearing a brown cap and goggles with a blue shirt and brown pants. He looked so familiar. "You look really familiar."

He chuckled. "I was just about to say the same thing to you. Have we met before?"

I pondered for a second. "I don't think so. You seem oddly familiar."

He chuckled again. "Well, I'm Hoagie P. Gilligan." He stuck out his hand for me to shake it.

I grabbed his hand and shook it. "I'm Kuki Sanban."

He let go of my hand as I let go of his. "You just start today?" I nodded. "Need anyone to show you around?"

I had Abby, but I could use another friend. "Yes, please."

Hoagie smiled. "I'll show you around then you can meet my friends." He started walking and I followed him. "Do you got any friends here, Kuki? Besides me."

"Yeah, I'm here with my friend, Abby." I told him.

"How long have you known her?" He asked me.

"Since, I was 13." I replied.

"Cool." He replied.

"How many friends do you have here with you?" I decided it was my turn to ask him things.

"Well, I got four, counting you." He smiled and winked at me.

I blushed a little and smiled. "What are their na-"

My phone interrupted me. I attempted to get my phone out of my pocket, but I couldn't because of all my suitcases. Hoagie grabbed my suitcases for me. "Thank you." I mouthed. He smiled.

I pulled my phone out of my pocket. It was Abby. "Hey, Abby!"

"Hey! Sorry, Abby didn't answer before. Where are you?"

"I am at the college. Some guy I met is showing me around."

"Okay! When you are done. Come by the dorm and get settled in."

"Okay, bye!"

"Bye!"

I hung up and put my phone in my pocket.

Hoagie handed me my suitcases. "I guess you'll be leaving now."

I sighed. "Yeah! You can come if you want."

He smiled. "Sure. A room with two girls and one guy is my fantasy."

I giggled. "Being a pervert?"

He rolled his eyes and followed me to the dorm. "I was kidding."

I chuckled. "I know."

We walked over to my dorm and I pulled out the key Abby sent me and unlocked the door.

"KUKI!" Abby screamed as she ran and gave me a hug.

"ABBY!" A hugged her back.

"Do I get a girl hug?" Hoagie opened his arms wide and winked.

"Who is this?" Abby asked as she let go of me.

"This is the guy that was showing me around. Abby this is Hoagie. Hoagie this is Abby." I introduced them to each other.

Hoagie took off his goggles and scanned Abby for what seemed like forever. Abby noticed it and started blushing. "Checking Abby out?"

Hoagie put his goggles back on and blushed. "No!"

"That's too bad because Abby didn't mind." Abby said in a flirty way.

Hoagie smiled and began eyeing Abby again.

"Meet more cute guys like him?" Abby pointed at Hoagie.

I chuckled. "No."

Abby sighed for me. "Well, at least you have two friends here."

Before I could reply Hoagie spoke up. "Oh, yeah! I never introduced you to my friends."

"Yay! I get more friends." I squealed.

"Come on, ladies." He said as he walked out the door. Abby and I followed him.

Hoagie got lost on the way. He kept taking turns that weren't the right directions. He said it was his first day here as well. "Are you sure you know where you are going?"

"Yeah, I do! I'm just a little lost." Hoagie said as he turned another corner. "I found it!"

"Finally." Abby and I said in unison.

Hoagie looked in his pocket for his key. "Okay, two of my friends are next door." He pointed to the dorm next to his. "I share this room with my other buddy." Abby and I nodded. "He doesn't like girly things that much, so don't get to girly, please."

Hoagie unlocked the door and walked in. Abby and I followed behind him.

"Hey, mate!" Somebody shouted.

"Guess what? I got two new friends." Hoagie said as he stood in front of Abby and me to hide us from his friend that I couldn't see, yet.

"Cool! They can play some football with us because you suck." Hoagies friend shouted.

Hoagie rolled his eyes. "The thing is they aren't guys."

The guy sighed. "Please, don't tell me you are trying to hook me up with somebody again!"

Hoagie waves his hands up. "No no no no no. These girls are cool." Hoagie turned around and winked at Abby and me. We both blushed.

"They are both behind you, huh?" The guy said with disappointment in his voice.

Abby pushed past Hoagie and made it up to the guy. "I'm Abby! Can you both stop blabbering now?"

"Hey. I'm Wally." Wally said. "I thought you said two girls."

Hoagie turned around and looked at me then back at Wally. "I did!" He turned around and pushed me over to Wally, but I ended up crashing into him because of Hoagies push. "Oops."

"Watch where you are going, girly!" Wally shouted at me.

"Sorry, it wasn't my fault." I shouted back.

Wally took his first glance at me. All the anger on his face seemed to disappear like it wasn't even there. His face softened up and he smiled. "I'm sorry. I should have caught you. It was Hoagies fault."

I took my first look at him. All the anger inside of me disappeared too. It was weird. He seemed so familiar. "Apology accepted. My name is Kuki!" I put my hand out.

He took my hand and shook it gently. "Hey, Kuki. I'm Wally."

He didn't let go of my hand. Some reason I didn't want to let go of his either. It's like they are glued together.

When he realized he was still holding my hand he immediately let go and blushed madly. "Uh… I… Where is Nigel and Ace?"

"When you two were ogling over each other. I called Ace and Nigel over. They should be here any-"Hoagie was interrupted by the door opening and two boys shouting.

"Hey, people!" A bald headed boy shouted.

"What's up?" A boy with a brown jacket yelled.

I went up to them quickly to introduce myself. "Hi, I'm Kuki!"

"Hey, Kuki! I'm Nigel." Said Nigel.

The guy with the brown jacket grabbed my hand and kissed it gently. "Hello, Kuki. I'm Ace."

I blushed. Somebody was flirting with me! Awesome! "Uh… Hi."

"I know this might seem a little weird because we just met and all." He put my hand down. "I was wondering. If you wanted to go on a date with me this Friday."

Friday is in two days. Should I say yes? "I'll think about it because I have a lot of catching up to do with my friend Abby." I pointed at Abby. "So I will think about it."

He nodded his head. "Think about it soon. I got to go guys and gals. Be back later." Ace headed for the door and left.

"Yeah, so do I. I got a date." Nigel fist pumped the air and walked out.

"Well, Abby and I are going to go on a walk." Hoagie said as he grabbed Abby's hand.

"When did Abby agree to that?" She said in a teasingly way.

"When you said I could eye you." He said as they both exited the dorm.

Now it was just Wally and me. "So…"

"So…" Wally rubbed the back of his head.

Should I leave? I didn't know what to do. "Well, I am going to go… do…. something. See you later, Wally."

I headed for the door, but Wally's hand grabbed me. "You don't have to go. We could go on a walk." He started blushing. "I mean not a romantic one. That is gross. I mean romantic isn't gross. Romantic is cool. We can go on a walk. Just not in a romantic way. Unless you want it to be that way."

"Not that I like you or anything. I mean I like you. Just not in a romantic way. Not that I couldn't like you in that wa-"

I decided to interrupt him. "Relax! Why are you so stressed?"

He calmed his breathing down a little. "Just be careful around Ace, okay?"

I wondered why he wanted me to be careful around Ace. Ace seemed like a cool guy or maybe he isn't. "Okay." I blushed a little. "We could hang out if you want."

He smiled a kind smile. "Sure, let's go."

He grabbed his keys and we both left.

8:00pm…

Wally and I went to a café to get something to drink.

"So… Can I ask you a question?" I asked him.

"You just did." He smirked. "Yeah, you can."

"Are you Australian?" I asked him.

He sipped the rest of his coffee then looked at me. "Yeah, I am. Are you Chinese?"

I shook my head. "Nope. I am Japanese."

He nodded his head. "Did you just move here?"

I shook my head again. "No, I moved here when I was two, but when I was fourteen my parents and little sister died in a car accident." I said quietly. "So I moved to Japan. I didn't like it in Japan, so when I collected enough money to go to college I moved back out here."

"Sorry, about your parents." He said.

Ace came up before I could say anything. "Stealing my lady, Beatles? Come on, Kuki. You are too beautiful to be hanging out with that thing." He reached out for my hand. "Cause if I could rearrange the alphabet I would put U and I together." He winked at me.

"If I could rearrange the alphabet, I would put F and U together." Wally mumbled.

I giggled. That was hilarious. I wish I would have thought of that.

"Look, Beatles! Just stay away from Kuki. She doesn't like guys who fight." Ace yelled.

Wally fights? "Wally you fight?"

"Well… no… I mean… only a couple times…" Wally said nervously.

"A couple times? Yeah, more like one-hundred times. This guy has got into insane fights. People have ended up in the hospital." Ace shouted angrily.

"Look, Ace! Why don't you go the hell away?" Wally stood up.

"Make me." Ace whispered.

Wally put his fist back and hit Ace right in the face. I screamed. "Oh my god! Someone call a doctor. Wally, why did you do that?"

"He made me mad." Wally snapped.

"That isn't an excuse to hit him! He could be seriously hurt." I screamed at Wally.

I pulled out my phone and called the ambulance. I didn't tell them about Wally hitting him. The ambulance came and picked Ace up and brought him to the hospital.

I ended up walking to my dorm with Wally trying to explain things to me. "Listen, Kuki. I had to do it. He's bad news. He's a player." Wally grabbed my hand and spun me around so I could face him. "He finds girls, makes them fall in love with him, and then makes out with them, and then he dumps them. You got to believe me."

I pulled out of Wally's grasp and started walking towards my dorm with him following. "Why are you friends with him if you don't like him?"

"Uh… I… keep… Uh… certain girls like you from getting hurt by him." He informed me.

"What do you mean by certain girls? Girls you have a crush on." I stated.

"No!" He waved his hands up. "Girls that are… delicate."

"So, you are saying I am not strong enough?" I questioned him. He was getting on my last nerve.

"N-no." He said nervously because he could see the fire in my eyes.

"Well, that is what delicate means. Fragile." I said through my teeth.

I continued walking to my dorm. I finally reached it and unlocked it.

Wally ran up to me. "Just stay away from him!"

"Do me a favor. Tell Ace I would love to go on that date with him on Friday." I slammed the door in his face.

I walked over to my bed and fell asleep.

Tomorrow morning…

I opened my eyes and sat up. I stretched and yawned a lot. I looked around and saw Abby smiling while she ate some cereal. "Good morning, Abby."

Abby looked over at me with the same happy smile plastered on her face. "Good morning, Kuki!"

I needed to know why she was so happy. Not that it is a bad thing. Just I want to know. "Why so happy?"

Abby rushed over to my side and sat down next to me. "Abby has a BOYFRIEND!"

"That's awesome! Who is it?" I exclaimed. I was happy for my best friend.

"Hoagie." She said happily.

Hoagie? She has only known him for a day. She is so lucky! "Hoagie? You have only known him for one day."

"True, but we both seemed to like each other so much." Abby stated calmly.

I crossed my arms over my chest and huffed. She was so lucky. She got a boyfriend in one day! "Man, I want a boyfriend." Then I remembered I have a date tomorrow. Yay! "Wait, I have a date tomorrow."

Abby eyes widened and she smiled. "Really?" I nodded my head. "Awesome! Is it Wally?"

I cringed at his name. "Eww, no. It's with Ace."

She nodded her head. "Still awesome! We have to go pick you out a dress for tomorrow."

Abby grabbed some clothes and rushed in the bathroom to change. She came out wearing a blue t-shirt and black jeans with her red hat. "Let's go" She grabbed my hand and dragged me out the door. Luckily, I fell asleep in my daytime clothes not my pajamas.

9:00pm…

"Abby we have been here all day and I still haven't found a dress I liked." I whined.

"Abby knows. We will find one." Abby stated and she grabbed some dresses and showed them to me.

"No, I don't like those." I said like a five year old.

"Don't be picky." Abby said.

I turned around and looked at the clothes then one beautiful dress caught my eye. I ran over to the dress and grabbed it. I rushed into the dressing room to try it on.

I walked out of the dressing room. Abby's mouth dropped. "It's perfect, Kuki!"

I smiled and walked over to a mirror. It was a green strapless dress that went a little above my knees. It was perfect! "Abby I want this dress."

"How much is it? Abby has a budget." Abby said as she pulled out her wallet.

I looked at the price tag on the dress. "It's fifty dollars."

"Good! Abby will pay for it." Abby said as she motioned me to take off the dress.

I went back into the dressing room and took off the dress and put on my clothes. I hurried out of the dressing room and walked over to Abby. "Abby you don't have to pay for the dress."

Abby waved her finger in front of my face. "Too bad. I'm paying for the dress."

I sighed. "Okay."

We walked over to the check-out stand and Abby bought the dress and we left.

At the dorm…

I put the dress in the closet and plopped on my bed. "That was exhausting."

Abby plopped on her bed. "Yup."

We both relaxed for a second. The phone started ringing and ruined our relaxation. I went up to the phone and picked it up. "Abby and Kuki's dorm."

"Hey, Kuki. Is Abby there?" Hoagie asked.

"Yeah she is." I replied.

"Can I come over to visit you and my girlfriend?" Hoagie asked happily.

"Sure." I said.

"Cool, we'll be over soon." Hoagie said.

"Okay. Wait, we'll?" I said.

Hoagie hung up on me. Dammit! Who is he bringing over?

"Who was that?" Abby asked as she looked at her magazine. Same old Abby.

I smiled then frowned. "It was Hoagie. He is coming over with somebody. He didn't tell me who. He hung up before he answered."

I sat on my bed.

KNOCK KNOCK

"I'll get it!" Abby exclaimed and walked over to the door.

She opened the door to reveal Hoagie and… Wally. Ugh!

"Dammit." I muttered under my breath.

Abby stepped aside to let the two boys in. "Hey, guys."

"Hey." Wally said.

"Hey, Abby!" Hoagie walked over to Abby and pecked her on the lips then they both kept talking.

Wally walked over to me and smiled. "Hey, Kuki!"

I rolled my eyes and got off my bed and walked towards the living room. I just sat on the couch and watched whatever was on.

Wally walked over to me and sat down next to me. "Come on, Kuki. Don't be mad at me."

I looked him in the eyes and my face softened. I saw hurt, sadness, and something else I couldn't put my finger on. "Fine!"

He smiled. "So… you can cancel the date with Ace now."

What? "What? I'm not going to cancel the date with Ace, Wally."

"Why?" He asked sadly.

"Why do you care?" I huffed.

"A lot of people get hurt by him, Kuki. You have to believe me." Wally pleaded.

I stood up. "Wally, I'm going to go out with Ace tomorrow. You can't stop me."

I walked over to my bed and saw Hoagie saying goodbye to Abby.

Hoagie looked at me and waved. "Bye, Kuki!" He walked towards the door. "Come on, Wally!"

Wally looked at me with pleading eyes then left with Hoagie.

Abby looked at me confused. "What did you say to Wally? He looked so sad."

I sighed heavily. "He doesn't want me to go on the date with Ace. He thinks Ace is trying to play me."

"Maybe you should listen to him. He has known Ace longer than you have." Abby sat on her bed.

"Yeah, but so has Hoagie." I said. "Hoagie hasn't said anything bad about Ace."

I walked over to the phone and dialed Hoagies number.

"Who are you calling?" Abby asked.

"Hoagie. I'm asking him about Ace." I replied.

"Hello?" Hoagie asked.

"Hey, Hoagie! I was wondering if you knew anything about Ace." I told him.

"Oh, yeah. You're going on that date with him. Well, he has dated quite a few girls." Hoagie answered.

"How many?" I pondered.

"In the last month he has dated seven." Hoagie answered.

SEVEN!? That is a lot! "That's a lot."

"Well, I don't know much about Ace really. Wally knows more and Nigel knows more than anyone. You should ask them."

"Okay. Nigel's dorm is next to yours right?" I asked.

"Yeah, it is." He replied.

"Cool, thanks! Bye, Hoagie!" I yelled.

"No problem. Bye, Kuki!" He hung up.

I put the phone down and put my shoes and ran out the door.

I knocked on the door and waited for someone to answer.

The door opened and revealed a bald boy, Nigel. "Hey, Nigel."

He looked at me confused for a second then he smiled. "Oh, hey! You're… Kuki, right?" I nodded. "Cool! Come in."

He stepped aside and I walked in.

"Nigel, I was wondering if I could ask you something." I sat down on a bed.

He sat down next to me. "Sure."

"Well, I was wondering about Ace. I mean is he a player?" I asked quietly.

"No, Ace isn't a player." Nigel said nervously.

"Really?" I asked.

"Yeah, really. Ace really isn't a player. He's only dated like seven girls in the past year." Nigel stated.

"Hoagie said he dated seven girls in the last month." I said confused. Who was telling the truth Nigel or Hoagie?

Nigel got up and drank some of his water. "Well, Hoagie doesn't hang out with Ace that much."

Before I could answer Ace opened the door and came in. He looked at Nigel then at me. "Hey, babe. We going out tomorrow?" I nodded. "Good, you should get some rest." I nodded and walked towards the door.

"Bye, Kuki!" Nigel said. I looked at him to say bye, but I didn't. I saw his eyes. He was hiding something. It looked like his eyes were saying sorry.

I pushed the thought away. "Bye, guys."

I left their dorm and walked to mine.

I unlocked the door and slid on some pajamas. I plopped down on my bed and drifted to sleep.

I hoped you liked this chapter. The link for Kuki's dress is on my profile. Please, review if you can.
