I don't have much to say except, here is the long-awaited for chapter 3!
Wally: Finally!
Me: Shut up and get into the story.
Wally: Why should I?
Me: (Holds up a photograph)
Wally: Yes ma'am (Runs out)
Me: (Leans back in chair) Works every time.
Chapter 3: Cleaning Up
"Wallabee?" called Mrs. Beetles from downstairs in the kitchen. "Have you seen my apron?"
"Er…" said Wally as he looked down at his mother's orange and blue apron. "No." he replied.
"Okay then." Said Mrs. Beeltes. "I'll check Joey's crib. Maybe he used it for a blanket…again." She walked upstairs.
"That was close." Wally said as his mother passed by him. He was upstairs cleaning out his room. Or at least attempting to. In his room, his clothes looked like they attempted to be folded, his toys were halfway put away, and at least his dirty clothes were gone.
"There." Said Wally. "All clean. And not for the last detail." He reached for his picture of Kuki.
"Wallabee!" Screamed Mrs. Beetles. "I thought that you said that you haven't seen my ap-!" She looked around his room.
"Mom." Began Wally. "I can explain. See what had happened was th-"
"Oh Wallabee." Said Mrs. Beetles. "I can finally see the floor in here. That's why you took my apron. Just to get me in here to see it."
Wally thought about this for a second. "Yeah." He said as he handed his mother her apron. "Surprise." He added a weak laugh.
"Oh you." Said Mrs. Beetles as she took her apron and began to go down stairs.
O-kay. Said Wally to himself as his mother walked down the stairs. Now for the last detail. He reached again for his picture of Kuki.
"Son!" Called Mr. Beetles. "Come downstairs."
Wally sighed. "Coming." He called back. As he walked down the stairs, he mumbled on about the dinner, his parents, and Kuki.
"What would you like for me to cook for dinner?" asked Mrs. Beetles. "I can't decide weather to fix my kangaroo burgers or my Sydney Salmon?"
Wally stared at her, then at his dad. "Um, how about the salmon?" He asked. Wally wasn't the biggest fan of fish, but considering that Kuki was coming over, he wanted to make a good impression.
"That's what I was thinking." Said Mrs. Beetles. "Now, go ahead and clean the living room." She shooed Wally out of the kitchen and turned to her husband and said, "You owe me." She held out her hand.
As her husband pulled out his wallet to pay his wife the money they betted on, Wally has planted himself on the couch. If he knew one thing for sure, his mother always kept the living room spick and span.
I don't hafta worry about this room. Said Wally to himself. What I need ta worry about is impressing Kuki…and her…family…He then drifted off to sleep.
Wally's Dream
Wally: (Looks around) Where am I? (Looks down) What am I wearing?
Wally was wearing an orange tuxedo with a green tie, and he was standing in what seems to be a field of orange flowers.
Kuki: (Very far away; in shadow) Wally! Oh Wally!
Wally: (Squints to see her) Kuki? What are you doing here?
Kuki: (Getting closer, but still in shadow) I came to thank you for the wonderful dinner!
Wally: Really?
Kuki: (Still getting closer, and still in shadow) Yeah, and there is something I want to tell you!
Wally: What is it? (Starts to run to her)
Kuki: (Almost there) I want to say that- (Arrives but looks like and sounds like Mr. Beetles) You should wake up.
End of dream
"Wha-what?" asked Wally as he woke up to find out that his father was shaking him. "What's goin' on?"
"It's 6:25." Said Mr. Beetles. "You should get ready for the dinner."
"Eh, roight." Said Wally as he got up to walk upstairs.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nearly five minutes later, Wally was ready for the dinner. He was wearing an orange collared shirt and his blue jeans. His hair was decently combed. As he was looking at himself in the mirror, he thought about the dream.
What was all that about? Wally asked himself. It's not like I'm gonna marry her or something. She's nice and has a pretty good personality-
"Wally!" Yelled Mrs. Beetles as she interrupted Wally's thoughts. "Our guests have arrived!"
Thanks mom. Said Wally to himself. You interrupted my train of thought just in time.
"Coming mom!" Called Wally as he hurried out of his room and quickly stopped himself.
What the crud am I doing?! Wally asked himself. It's just Kuki. She'll come in with her crazy parents and her annoying sister. Then they are going to act all sisterly and start hugging each other. To top it all off, she'll probably come in wearing her usual outfit. As he ended this with a chuckle, he confidently walked downstairs.
"Hi Wally!" said Kuki in her usual cheerful voice.
As Wally looked at her, he stopped dead in his tracks. So not her usual outfit! He said to himself.
Ooh, bet cha want to know what happens next, huh?

Abby: Thanks.
Me: So, want to close the chapter with me?
Abby: Sure thang.
