It was his last night before Decommission and all he wanted to do was play video games with Numbuh three one last time. Like always, she was beating him better than any KND member could. Normally he would be annoyed he lost again, but this time he's taking in every minute like it was his last. Her cute smile when she laughs, the way she hold the controller underneath the sleeves of her green sweater.

"Wally you ok? You keep staring off into space?"

"Kuki, I'm going to do two things I should've done a long time ago."

Before Kuki can speak, Wally faceplated his lips on to her lips. He had no idea what he was doing or even if was supposed to close his eyes or not. Wallys eyes were closed so he can have a few moments of bravery. He had no idea that Kukis eyes were wide open shocked that this was actually happening. After a few seconds Wally and Kuki staired at eachother red in the face. 'Ok Wally give her the letter.' he said in his head.

Silence.

'Any day now would be great Wally.' Still nothing.

"Sooo…" Kuki said.

Wallys stomach turned to knots and he wanted to throw up right then and there. Why did he have to kiss her? Couldn't he just repressed his feelings and get on with it?

"It's about time." She laughed as she blushed.

"I don't know… just wanted it to be the right time I guess."

Wally seized the opportunity and shyly reached across the old purple couch to hold Kukis covered hand. The soft green material embraced his sweaty palms as he could feel underneath her long, thin fingers gently squeez his hand as if they've been waiting for years.

"Listin, Kuki… I didn't want to grow up without letting you know how I feel. And I don't want you to forget me."

"Aww Wally!" Kuki gushed.

"I got you something to." He said as he smiled and blushed.

Tentatively, he reached his back pocket and gave her a small pink envelope that said "KukI, Open After Decommission" in purple glitter and was covered in the one thing she loves more then than anything in the world. Rainbow Monkeys. Kuki's eyes practically fell out with her mouth wide open in complete shock. This is the same boy who repeatedly complained over her 'girly' obsession with Rainbow Monkeys and now he is contributing to them!?

"I uhh… don't want you to open this until after your decommissioned. So I thought you wouldn't want to open it if you had something to look at." He scooched over closer to Kuki so they were shoulder to shoulder. "There's thirteen Rainbow Monkeys on here and each of them are thirteen things that I like about you. There's Happy Rainbow Monkey, Pretty Princess Rainbow Monkey, Friends Forever Rainbow Monkey, Birthday Rainbow Monkey and-Kuki are you ok?" Kuki flew her arms around Wally while practically covering his face with tiny kisses.

"OH WALLY I KNEW YOU LIKE THEM TO!"

"No I don't." he said under a sea of tiny little pecks. "...but I do like you."

After making Kuki promise him she will not open the letter after her Decommission, they fell asleep unashamedly in eachothers arms. Just an innocent last connection before Wally's memory of Kuki would be gone until further notice. They woke up to a small hand of Numbuh 362 gloomingly gesturing to Wally that it was time. After that, It's really all a blur. The last thing he remembers is finding a letter in his pocket addressed to him on his thirteenth birthday.

Dear 13 year old Wally,

If you're reading this, you're probably some cruddy teenager right now. But the thing is, among a lot of things, you're forgetting something really important. Her name is Kuki. Kuki is the coolest girl in the world and she's always happy. Its annoying sometimes but mostly its great. She's also really really pretty. You know for a girl. Whatever you do, if you ever meet a girl named Kuki Sanban, NEVER not tell her how much you like her. Or how smart she is. Or kind. Or a lot of things. If you do, I'll time travel back to you and kick your butt to the pluto! Well… I don't know how else to end this sooo… happy birthday mate.

Numbuh 3

Ps,

She likes Rainbow Monkeys and girly stuff if that helps

PPs,

You wrote her a letter, I forgot when she's going to get it though.

The thirteen year old smiled at the scribbling handwritings of his youth. He'll keep his eye out for a girl like her if she's important enough for his childhood self to attempt at pouring out his feelings. Little did he know that it would only be a few months later, a pretty and pietie young lady with long black hair, green top, converse sneakers and two ear piercings would receive a letter on her thirteenth birthday. She smiled as the glitter fell on her hands as she carefully opened the envelope not harming a single Rainbow Monkey. Enclosed was probably the sweetest letter she will ever receive in her life.

Dear Kuki,

Hi… this is Wally. You probably forgot all about me, but I don't think I'll forget you. Why? Well… you're the sweetest, nicest, most amazing girl I ever met. I think you're more than a friend when I was a kid. You're my first and only crush. I would do anything for you then, and I will do the same now. I would fight the biggest baddest guy in the world for you, save you from scariest thing in the universe for you, dress up like a girl for you, even write a million sappy notes if you want. Why? Because you being happy is worth it. I wanted to tell you sense we were kids, but I never had the chance. Mostly cuz… I was kinda sorta maybe scared you might say no. SO… if I'm not a big jerk and if you do like like me… do you think you'd like to go and hang out sometime? If you say yes, I promise it'll be worth your time. We can do whatever you want or whatever teens do.

Love,

Wallabee Beetles

Some days later, Kuki was walking the halls of the crowded middle school halls with kids running to their lockers left and right. It was there with her green backpack in her arm, and the letter in her free hand where she saw him. The tall, cute aussie boy with shaggy blonde hair, and orange hoodie with faded jeans lazily cramming his books from his locker to his black backpack for his weekend homework. Kuki confidently walked up to him and tapped his shoulder. The boy turned and was red in the apples of his cheeks seconds later. She smiled and said, "Got your letter."

This was the start of a love story that many waited to happen. After all these two were so alike, yet so different. Wally, a tall, toned, smart-alecky tough guy who struggled with homework, yet persevered to make good grades. And Kuki, a thin, pretty girl whos bubbliness and girly behavior made her well known and liked by students and by teachers. Yet they both share a drive and compassion for other people and a deep love for eachother that potentially no force on this planet could tear them apart. Little did they know the test would come when they were seventeen in their senior year of highschool.
