We meet Chiro in his room, tears obviously running down his face as he made no attempt to hide it. It was well past curfew and Chiro had held in his pain all day, acting as if the interview went fantastic. It didn't. It went horribly, horribly wrong. Hushed cries were at his door.

"Chiro? Chiro, you in here?" Glenny's voice whispered

Chiro ignored the voice at the door.

"Come on buddy, open up," B,T.'s voice begged quietly.

"Chiro! Come on! Were trying to help!"

Yeah, well your not. Chiro sighed He new they wouldn't leave.

"Move it! B.T! Move out of my way!..." A knock was at the door. "Chiro! I know you're in there! Open up!"

Chiro reconized her voice, yet still didn't move. He sat crossed legged on his bed as he listened to the trio bicker outside his door.

"B.T! Glenny! This is your fault! You had to tell him teens never get adopted! Leave before both your skins grace my future mantle!'

"What future mantle!" Glenny snorted.

A muffled thump was heard. Outside the door Chiro could hear Ki Ki snicker quietly. A soft knock was heard .

Softer, she spoke, "Chiro the door. Mrs, Calbree's sweet and all, but if I get cuaght, she'll kill me!"

Chiro wiped away his last tear as he stepped to the door. He opened it as Ki Ki quickly rushed inside. Chiro glanced down the hallway to see the night guard. He shut his door. Before he was even fully facing Ki Ki, she tackled him in a hug.

"I'm so sorry. Mrs. Calbree told me you were upset, but wouldn't tell me why. I'm sure I have the right idea though."

Chiro pushed her away and sat on the edge of his bed he put his hands on the back of his head. Ki Ki took a seat beside him, gently putting a hand on his knee. She took a shaky breath and let out her soft smile.

"When I was little, my mom would tell stories of these six monkeys and how they protected the innocent and... not so innocent. She told me how at first, many people thought they were just science experiments that got lose. How they were nothing, but another alien on the planet. But when they started kicking some butt, everyone cheered, saying how they were blessed to have these monkeys! They helped in wars, and attacks, they even found cures to some uncurable diseases!

They were amazing. And when they left without a trace, many people were set out to find them..." She sighed thoughtfully, "my point is even though people don't think your good enough, you are. And someday... Someday people will realise that... Like I do."

Chiro faced her with a small smile. Her smile... He sat up straighter.

"Thanks."

"No problem. Anything for a friend... Anything..."

She stood up and wiped down her attire.

"Tomorrow's Saturday, and since its Spring break, lets hang out. All of us. B.T., Glenny, you and me. Shuggazoom park. Then we can go to Hover Burgers... Maybe even to the outskirts to explore."

"Yeah... I'd like that... Just don't say anything about SKB to B.T."

Ki Ki snickered.

"Scouts honor."

She then left, quietly shutting the door behind her. Chiro sighed in content. He crawl under his blankets. Before he fell into a slumber, he spoke a sentence.

"I love Ki Ki Ray-Dra Drea Ze. She's my best friend."
