The next day Abby and Kuki dropped over to Abby's to get a swimsuit before heading to the beach where they met up with the old gang. They were in luck. The beach was empty.
"Hi guys!" Kuki said excitedly running to meet them. They all greeted her merrily.
"So whos up for the water?" Kuki exclaimed. Wasting no time. They all cheered in agreement.
The guys stripped down to their swimming trunks, which they were already wearing under their clothes and ran to the water.
Kuki and Abby had decided to bring their swimsuits with them to change into so headed to the nearby changing bays.
They went into a bay next to each other and changed into their swimsuits.
"Abby," Kuki asked through the fabric of her bay. "Can you do me up?"
She lifted the fabric of the bay and grabbed Abby's, pulling them together so that she could step into Abby's bay without exposing herself to everyone else.
She turned around so that Abby could tighten and tie the halterneck bikini top that she was struggling with.
"Wow, you look great girl!" Abby exclaimed. "Wally don't stand a chance!"
Kuki giggled. "At least you're here for when I screw up this time!"
Abby shook her head. "We've spent all night practising. You'll be fine!"
Kuki inhaled and nodded. "Let's go!"
They both headed out towards the water. Kuki swore that all three of the boys dropped their jaws as they saw the girls walking to the water.
Kuki was wearing her halterneck, green bikini with white polka dots. The bottoms of the bikini had a frill around the middle which made a small skirt. The colour and style put all focus onto her tiny, flat belly. Abby looked just as good. Wearing a strapless blue top with green aztec style geometric patterning with tiny, matching bottoms. Putting a lot of emphasis on her plump, beautifully rounded bottom.
Hoagie and Nigel were waist deep in the water, throwing an inflatable ball back and forth between them. Wally on the other hand, who was still cautious of water after being terrified of it as a child. He smiled and walked out of the water. Headed for Kuki, who was laying out a towel from her wicker beach basket on the floor.
"See that. Moth to a flame!" Abby chuckled as Kuki looked up to see what Abby was on about. She beamed and sat down. "You glad Numbuh 5 told you not to wear that white costume now?"
Kuki grinned. "He's just coming to talk. I feel like I'm exposing way too much skin!"
"Shut up!" Abby chuckled. "You look great! Numbuh 5 will leave you both to it. You got her shades?"
Kuki nodded and picked out Abby's sunglasses from her bag. Passing them to her. With that, Abby slipped them on, turned around and headed to the water. She and Wally exchanged friendly smiles as they passed.
Kuki did as Abby instructed. Pulled out her book and started to read. Ignoring Wally as he approached her.
He stepped up to her, scratched the back of his neck and then decided to throw himself on the sand next to her. He dropped onto his rear with force. making an 'ahh' noise as if he were stretching and holding his knees in his arms. He looked around, at Kuki, at the book she was reading, at his friends in the water, the ball flying back and forth, back at Kuki, at the landscape in the opposite direction, back at Kuki. Kuki couldn't help but move her eyes from her book, quickly at Wally as his eyes darted about. She gave a grin and looked back at her book. Waiting for him to speak. Finally, he began.
"You not going in the water?" He asked.
Kuki shrugged. "Maybe later. I'm out with my grandparents tonight and don't really want to have to do my hair before.
"Oooooooh! Don't want to get my hair wet!" Wally mimicked an annoying, high maintenance girl.
Kuki gave him a glare, followed by a mischievous smile. "I'd like to see you g and dunk your head in there!"
Wally tutted. "What you reading?"
"Secret garden." Kuki replied. "One of my favorites."
"What's it about?" Wally asked.
Kuki closed it and placed it in her book, looking at him sarcastically. "A secret garden!"
"That's it? Sounds boring." Wally thought aloud. Lying down, placing his hands behind his head and looking up at the sun.
Kuki rolled her eyes. "Well it's not. It's magical. I like it."
She looked at Wally getting ready for her first move that she and Abby had practised. She bit her lip and reached into her bag. Pulling out her bottle of sunscreen and beginning to lather herself with it. She glanced at Wally who had his eyes closed.
"Wally?" She asked timidly. He hummed in acknowledgment. She continued with her question. "Could you do my back? I can't reach."
His eyes shot open and looked at her. He sat up slowly. "Uh, sure."
She beamed and handed the bottle to him, scooping her long hair over from one shoulder to the other to get it out of the way and rolling over to lie on her front. She folded her arms and placed her chin on them, looking up at Wally expectantly with big eyes and a small smile.
He gulped. Then poured a handful of lotion into his hand and slowly moved towards Kuki's back. He started slowly and gently rubbing just above her strap. His hands were calloused and warm. His hand moved up to her shoulder.
Kuki let out a small, relaxed hum. She and Abby had practised this but it was not fake. She couldn't help but sigh, the mini massage she was getting via Wally rubbing lotion on her shoulders felt much too good. She looked up at Wally, who looked back at her and creating awkward eye contact. Kuki held the gaze until Wally broke it with embarrassment, he moved to her other shoulder, then down, under her strap to the small of her back.
He then closed the bottle and handed it back t her.
"Thanks." She smiled, sitting up and placing the lotion back into her bag. She then leant on her elbows, enjoying the sun. "It's such a nice day!"
Wally nodded. "Yeah, imagine if we actually had to be in school today? Depressing or what?"
Kuki chuckled. She could hear the others coming closer. The other three all sat down next to them. Hoagie and Nigel perching on the grass and Abby finding space on Kuki's towel.
"Man, it's so hot. Numbuh 5 would kill for an ice cream right now." Abby sighed.
Kuki looked around. "Isn't there a concession stand down the beach a little? I'll go get some. Wally, fancy a walk?"
"Sure." Wally shrugged and stood up.
They took their friends orders and money and started for their walk. Kuki glanced at Wally as they walked.
"How's Joey? I haven't seen him in like forever!"
"He's good. Fifth grade now." Wally smiled.
Kuki gasped, "He can't be in fifth grade, he's two!"
Wally laughed. "Yeah, I didn't realise how big he was getting until mom reminded me that it's his tenth birthday in two months."
"Really?" Kuki exclaimed. "That's crazy! Does he like school?"
Wally nodded. "Yeah. He's in middle group so is getting on fine, he really enjoys it. Hell nearly broke loose this morning when he realised I didn't have to go to school though."
Kuki laughed.
"What about Mushi?" Wally asked. "How old's she now?"
"Fourteen." Kuki smiled.
Wally shook his head in disbelief. "When we were kids a day felt like a year, now I'm trying t figure out where that times gone."
Kuki laughed. They approached the concession stand.
They ordered two ice creams. One for Kuki and Abby, a slushie for Wally, a snow cream popsicle for Hoagie and a FAB popsicle for Nigel.
They paid and headed back. Time for phase two of Kuki and Abby's plan.
Kuki placed the ice cream in her mouth, sucking off the tip. Licking off the sauce and nuts.
"Mmmm, that's so good." Kuki said, Licking her lips.
Wally smiled. Kuki handed her cone in his direction. "Want some?"
Wally leant towards the cone and stuck out his tongue for a lick of Kuki's ice cream.
She thrust it forward, spreading ice cream all over his face, Kuki laughed.
"Ooopsie!" She giggled in her good old 'Numbuh 3' tone. "Sorry."
She took her finger and wiped it across his cheek and lips, scooping the ice cream mess up. She then placed her finger in her mouth and sucked it off. Making sure to keep eye contact with him. He gave a gulp and Kuki swore that he went red.
'Why isn't he saying anything? He's not talk...' "EEEEEEEE!"
Kuki shrieked with shock. Wally had placed the ice cold cup of his slushie on her back. Kuki jumped so hard that she knocked Wally's arm. Spilling half of the slushie down her back. Making Kuki screech louder.
"Oops, sorry." Wally mimicked with an evil smile.
Kuki looked back at him in shock and choked on her words. She then gave a smile as they carried on walking.
"I'm all sticky now!" She chortled. "That was so mean!"
"Hey, two can play at that game!" Wally laughed. "And I didn't mean to knock it over you!"
Kuki giggled. They returned to the gang and handed them their cool snacks.
"What were you screaming about?" Abby asked.
Kuki smirked at looked at Wally. "Wally dripped his slushie all over me! I have to shower now because I'm all sticky!"
Abby looked at her knowingly and smiled.
"Be right back." Kuki said. She had finished her ice cream walking back so headed to the showers, near the changing bays. Still in the sight of her friends.
She pressed the button to switch on the shower and stood under it. Glancing at Wally to check that he was watching, she began to move her hands up her body, synchronising her hands to run up to her hair and scrunch it into a bun to refrain from getting it wet. She looked back at Wally and made eye contact. Biting her lip as she slowly rubbed her body. Washing off the stickiness from her back. The shower ended. She wrapped her towel around herself and patted herself dry before heading over to where Abby was now sat on her own. Kuki looked over to see that the boys were now placing their attention back onto the inflatable ball.
"Looks like he lost interest there. I told you that the shower wouldn't work." Kuki sighed.
Abby shook her head. "He was focused on you girl. Numbuh 5 is sure that he was half drooling. Anyway, haven't you noticed that he's in the water...when has Wally ever gone in the water ABOVE THE WAIST!"
Kuki gave a giggle.
