Kuki examined herself in the mirror. She wore a forest green sweatshirt and a jean skirt with black leggings. A silver belt was wound around her waist and she had added a white hairband for extra style. 'I look... nice, for a first day,' She thought, smiling slightly to herself.

She look to the clock on her nightstand; it read 7:00 AM. About the time she would leave for school.

Her heart skipped a beat when she thought about it. Finally reuniting with her old friends, Sector V, and,

'Wally.'

--

Beep Beep Beep!

The Aussie boy groaned as he awoke from his slumber. For once, he was glad he had woken up on time this morning.

'Stupid rainbow monkeys.'

Last night, he dreamt he was swept away by a giant wave of rainbow monkeys. They swallowed him up, and he couldn't escape. He constantly tried digging his way back up, but more and more rainbow monkeys piled over him. It was getting hard to breathe, and he was desperate. He was about to attempt to get out again, but froze as he heard a strange sound.

There was a familiar giggle, and the next thing he knew the rainbow monkeys stopped piling over. All was quiet, and he realized those cruddy rainbow dorkies were gone, replaced with nothing but emptiness.

It was strange for Wallabee to remember such a vivid dream, since he hardly ever dreamt at all. When he did, it was usually bizarre and confusing. He would tell his best friend Hoagie about it, and Hoagie would try to decipher his dreams. It helped a little, knowing he wasn't crazy but had a strange mind.

He rolled over, slumping off his bed and onto the floor. He brushed away his bangs and sighed. School couldn't get any more boring, so why bother to go in the first place?

Oh yeah. Education is important.

...keh, whatever.

He got dressed, then headed over to the bathroom. The door was locked, he noticed, so he groaned and leaned against the door.

"Joey, get out." He said, addressing his younger brother who was currently occupying the bathroom. He heard muffled noises, then the sound of the water running.

"One sec, bro!" His brother replied from within the bathroom, probably washing his hands and brushing his teeth.

"Hurry up, alright?" Wally groaned. "We don't got all day, ya' kno."

"Yeah yeah, just wait!"

So, the elder brother did as he was told and waited. Joey appeared after opening the door, grinning ear to ear at his older brother.

"Look, Wally! Lookit my teeth!"

Wally glanced over, watching as Joey wriggled a loose front tooth with his tongue. Wally grinned.

"Nice, sport. Don't get into any fights or you'll loose it sooner than you want to." He smirked. Joey stuck his tongue out in reply, then dashed over to his own room.

Wally stepped into the bathroom, and locked the door behind him.

After a few moments, Wally's scream could be heard from the bathroom. Joey looked up from his closet.

"Oops," he blinked, "forgot to flush."

--

Kuki wandered around the campus, wondering where to go. She placed her hands behind her back, crossing her fingers together. A sigh escaped her lips, and a small cloud blew.

Where was she supposed to go?

It was currently 7:30, and she was here for her orientation. She was meant to go to the office, but she really didn't have any idea where it was. She couldn't even ask a student, since she was the only one there. School usually started around 8:30, so no one came this early.

Kuki paused, looking around once again for someone, anyone. But no one was there.

'Ah,' she thought, noticing a familiar building, 'I've been here before.'

As she turned around to head back, she noticed a student walking towards the central building. She immediatly walked up to him.

"E-excuse me!" She called shly, catching to boy's attention. He turned to her, looking her up and down. An eyebrow raised.

"Would you mind telling me where the main office is? I'm a little lost," she paused, looking down at her feet and flushing in embarrassment. "..I've been circling the school for the past few minutes."

"You're new here, aren't you?" He asked, a bit cheery. He grinned cheekily. "Are you Kuki Sanban?"

She looked up and nodded shyly.

"Cool!" He laughed. "You're like, a legend here. Usually we don't get new students here."

"R-really?"

"Yeah!" He grinned at her. "I'm Hoagie Gilligan."

Kuki's heart throbbed. She stared at him, eyes searching his face for any trace of her friend. He had changed over the years, but now she saw the resemblance. This was her dear friend, Hoagie, all right. And he didn't remember her.

"It's... nice to meet you, Hoagie." She said, forcing a smile.

"Nice to meet you too, Kuki!" He smiled. Her heart wretched in pain. "Follow me, I'll take you to the office."

"Okay."

During their walk around the buildings, Hoagie asked, "So, where're ya from Kuki?"

"Japan," she replied.

"I see," he smiled. "They make a lot of cool aircrafts, I heard!"

Kuki couldn't help but smile. After all these years, his love for airplanes hadn't faltered. Good to know Hoagie hadn't completely change, and her old pal was still there.

"Lemme tell ya," he said, "this school is the best! All their tech classes are advanced, and we can practically build whatever we want. I always rig up a different style of aircraft everytime, I like variety. "

Kuki chuckled. "You must love airplanes."

"Oh yeah," he sighed. "No woman could replace them as the love of my life."

Kuki smiled. Same old Hoagie.

They reached a small building on the corner of the campus. Kuki hadn't been here yet.

"Well, here we are." He said, adjusting the side of his backpack. "See ya around, Kuki."

"Yeah, see you, Hoagie." She waved, a soft smile on her lips. She would get them to remember her, but for now...

He tipped his hat at her, bidding adeu. Kuki pushed the doors open and stepped in.

--

Around 8:10, Wally stepped onto campus. He shivered slightly, looking around the crowd of students.

'Shoulda' brought my other jacket,' he thought, 'it's freakin' cold today.'

Suddenly, something heavy clung to his arm. He turned sharply, glaring at whatever was grabbing him. A big-lipped girl smiled coyly up at him, squeezing his arm to her large breasts.

"Good morning, Wally," she purred. Wally looked down in disgust. He shook her off, stuffing his hand in his pocket.

"Buzz off, Katy!" He growled, walking off to the buildings. She ignored his hostility, and winked at him.

"See you in class, hon'!"

He continued his path, only to be attacked by another girl. She was even worse than the last one, face caked in makeup and by what Wally could tell, had fake breasts.

"Hey," she murmured, "wanna hook up?"

He cringed down at her, shrugging her off and kept walking.

'Whore,' he thought dryly to himself, annoyed that he got attacked within five minutes of him getting to class. Cruddy fangirls, never leaving him alone!

He stalked over to his first period class, History, and flopped into his seat in the back of the room. He closed his eyes and leaned into his chair, sighing. No one but him was in yet, at least for now. Finally, he could have some peace and quiet.

The door suddenly opened, and someone came in.

"Hey Wally!"

Hoagie.

"Hey, Hoagie." He murmured, opening one lazy eyelid to look at his friend. Hoagie grinned at him.

"Guess what?"

"Hm?"

"I met up with the new girl," he grinned. Wally closed his eye again. "So?"

"Dude, you shoulda' seen her!" He exclaimed, tossing his backpack into the chair in front of Wally. "She was gorgeous!"

Wally scoffed. "So what?"

"She wasn't like other girls, Wally, I'm serious! She doesn't have a face painted in makeup or anything, she's just, like... hot!"

"Why should I care, Hoagie?" He asked in boredom. "It's just some cruddy girl, jeez."

Hoagie frowned. "I'm just keeping options for you. Man, you act like you're not interested in chicks."

"I'm not," he agreed. "They're all annoying and clinging and... cruddy."

"Kuki wasn't."

"Whatever, man," Wally leaned over, sighing. He placed his cheek in his fist, rolling his eyes at Hoagie. "Like I said, I'm not interested. I've got better things to do than pay attention to some crummy girl 24/7."

"Like what?" Hoagie pouted, sitting in his chair and leaning back to look at Wally. "All you ever do is play video games, fight, and hang out with Joey."

Wally grinned. "Exactly. And I'm not letting some girl take away my freedom to do what I want."

His best friend shrugged, turning to empty his backpack. "All right man, but I'm telling you, you seriously need a girl."

"Whatever."

--

"So, Miss Sanban, do you feel comfortable here?" The advisory teacher asked once they finished the tour. Kuki nodded, smiling in reassurance.

"Don't worry, after a while you'll get the feel of the school. It just takes time, that's all."

"I have a feeling I'll be just fine."

The woman smiled. "That's wonderful." She brought Kuki to a door at the end of the hall.

"This is your class. It's already started, but only be five minutes. You can enter when you like, just don't take too long."

"Okay, thank you." Kuki smiled. She dazzled the teacher. The woman waved before heading back. 'What a nice young girl,' she thought.

Kuki turned back to the door, her smile vanished. She gulped.

In an honest truth, she wasn't ready to face her class. Her heart pounded loudly, throbbing in her chest. She clenched her hand at her side, and decided to suck it up and go in.

She knocked on the door politely before entering.

When she stepped in, all eyes were on her. The teacher was at his desk, smiling. She felt her face heat up.

"Ex-excuse me," she said shyly, keeping her eyes at the teacher so she wouldn't fluster too much. "I'm a new st-student, and..."

"Ah, yes!" he said brightly. "Miss Kuki Sanban, am I correct?"

She nodded.

"Welcome Kuki!" He grinned cheekily. "I'm Mr. Deloskavich, but I prefer being called Mr. D."

He turned to the class. "Class, this is Kuki Sanban. She just moved here, so please be kind and give her the utmost respect."

The class erupted in loud whispers, chattering this way and that. Kuki couldn't hear much, but she hoped they weren't saying anything... bad, about her.

"Okay, calm down," Mr. D. laughed. He turned to Kuki. "They're just excited. We usually don't get new students."

"S-so I've heard," Kuki smiled shyly.

"Settle down, please!" He called, and the whole class quieted down.

--

Wally tried to ignore all the chit-chat going on around him. He just stared at the new girl, trying to remember where he saw her face.

'I know I've seen her before,' he thought, scanning over her. He had to admit, Hoagie was right: she was beautiful. She seemed shy, but that didn't mean she was a total cruddy girly girl.

Hoagie turned to Wally, a smirk gracing his lips.

"I told you so," he said triumphantly.

"Settle down, please!" the teacher called. The class quieted down immediately.

Mr. D. scanned the rows of the class. Wally raised an eyebrow. Surely he wasn't looking for a new seat. If he was, there were only two seats available in the class. One next to that Irish girl, Fanny or whatever, and the one next to him. She'd probably go sit by the girl, since they were both girls and could be girly together.

'Typical,' he thought, sinking back into his chair and closing his eyes.

"Now then, Kuki, why don't we pick a seat for you."

Just go sit next to Fanny already.

"Ah! There's a spot. Kuki, why don't you sit next to Wallabee?"

Crud.

"Wallabee Beetles, raise your hand!"

Wally groaned, sitting up in his seat and raising his arm half-heartedly. Great, just what he needed: another boy-obsessed girl chasing after him. Hoagie snickered from in front of him. He stared at her, waiting for her to go googly eyed. But she didn't. Her eyes widened, as if in shock, and her face flushed. Weird girl.

"Go on, don't be shy," Mr. D. teased, edging her forward. The new girl gulped, and began walking over to him. He never moved his gaze.

She took her spot next to him, shoulders stiff. He dropped his arm. Now that he looked at her, she was way prettier up close. Her hair was so glossy, her eyes so big and like the moon, her lips so full and-- wait, what?

She then turned to him, her cheeks still tinted red. She leaned over a little, as if to talk to him. Wally didn't move, not knowing what to expect. Then, she whispered,

"I missed you, Wally."

Wally felt a pang in his chest. His face felt hot, and he instantly began feeling sweaty. He stared at her, trying to find some answer to the feeling he was getting. How did she know he was called Wally?

"Wait, what'd you just---

Suddenly, most of the class jumped out of their chairs and circled around Kuki. She blushed at the attention. Random questions were thrown at her.

"What makeup do you use?"

"Do you live around here?"

"What's your favorite clothing brand?"

"Like, oh my gosh! Did you like, get that hairband like, from Claire's? It's like, so cute!"

"Hey, you got a boyfriend??"

Kuki tried her best to answer them, but failed miserably.

"No, I don't wear makeup-- Yeah uhm, the street next to-- uhm, Gap? No, I didn't-- N-no, I'm--

"Everyone back to your seats!" Mr. D. yelled over the crowd. "You can all ask your questions later, don't forget you're still in class!"

Groans came from the students as they stalked back to their seats.

After a few seconds, the cheery teacher spoke up again. "Wallabee, close your mouth before a fly comes in. I'd appreciate it if you focused your attention on the board, other than Kuki."

Wally's face flushed, and he sunk deeper into his seat. The class snickered. Hoagie chuckled in front, and Wally glared daggers into his best friend's back.

And so the class began.

--

"So then, class, I hope you think of something to write about. Remember, if you focus on your ancestors they have to be from at least a hundred years back."

The class groaned. People were complaining they wouldn't be able to think of a topic.

"Oh and Kuki," the teacher called, "See me during lunch for your books and questions." Kuki nodded in reply, placing her notebook and pencil back in her bag.

"Five minute free time!" Mr. D. called. "Don't talk to much or the othe classes will get mad."

They all instantly started chattering. Mostly around Kuki, though. Her face was as red as a cherry, and her shoulders were tense. She replied to what she could, but it was difficult with most people talking at once. She took an occasional glance at a certain Aussie who sat next to her, and he wouldn't remove his gaze from her figure.

'She knows me,' he thought, 'I know her, I gotta know her.'

The occasional glances at him made him blush, but he refused to look elsewhere. That is, until Hoagie caught him.

The devious best friend rested his arms on the back of his chair, a smirk forming.

"What was that you said about not being interested?" He teased, and Wally shot him a glare.

"Shut up! She's right there!" He growled in a hushed voice, but couldn't help the red on his cheeks. Hoagie laughed, getting up and walking to the corner of the room. Wally followed, stuffing his hands in his pockets.

"Woah man, you got it bad for Kuki," he laughed. Wally kept glaring.

"I do not!" He protested. "I just... I think I know her from somewhere is all!"

"Sure, sure." Hoagie chuckled. "Say that when you find yourself watching her from the corner of your eyes everyday."

"Oh come on!" Wally complained. "I'm not freakin' in love with her, I'm telling you! I know her face from somewhere!"

"Yeah... your dreams." Hoagie smirked, watching Wally turn red.

"Seriously!"

"Okay, okay," Hoagie laughed. "I get it. I know what you mean, though. I kinda recognize her from somewhere, too."

"You see!" Wally yelled, a little too loud. Hoagie tried to keep from laughing. Man, this was too funny!

"Anyway," Wally quieted down, "I'm gonna try talkin' to her later. You know, ask her a few questions and see who she really is. It's gonna kill me if I don't figure it out."

"Yeah yeah, whatever." He smiled. 'Ask a few questions and get to know her, you mean,' he thought.

Just then, the bell rang. The whole class got their bags and began leaving, not before individually saying goodbye to Kuki. She waved politely, smiling.

Wally walked behind her to his seat, picking up his bag. He shrugged it over his shoulder, pausing a minute to look at Kuki.

She was staring at him, her lips partly open. God, she was pretty.

They both blushed and looked away, and Wally exited the room. Kuki set off too.

Hoagie grinned, leaving the room last. 'Lucky Wally,' he thought, 'the girl seems interested in him too.'

--

Kuki spent most of the day getting to know everyone. She was surprised they were all so friendly, and she recognized a few from elementary school. Too bad, they didn't have a clue who she really was.

She had a few classes with Wally and Hoagie, which included History, PE, Science and Literature. Apparently, Wally and Hoagie had a lot of classes together already.

She hadn't yet seen her dear old best friend Abby, or her amazing ex-leader Nigel, but she would look for them. It was clear none of them remembered her, but she would get them to. She would find a way, somehow. It didn't matter what it'd take, Kuki was determined to get her old friends back.

Little did she know, it would be easier for her with a certain Aussie, since he was determined to find out who she was himself.

--

There we go~

Gah, this took so much time x.x I'm sorry I only included one class, but that's all I could fit in to keep my comp from lagging! LOL.

Anyway, if you have any ideas for the story in later chapters, please tell me! I'd like to hear your ideas, and I might even use them (with your permission, of course :P)!

Please R&R!
