Chapter 4 - Fortune
"Are you sure it will work, mate?" Asked Wally worried.
"Ohh c'mon bro, it would be perfect, I promise!" Said the black guy, sure of what he said.
" 'k.. Let's do it..." Wally was nervous.
The sunset has come, and everything was colored red, sky was pink, yellow and orange.
The two were walking along the street, their shadows were long and grey.
"That's her driveway. Don't be a coward and go!"
Chris pushed him toward the door,
"Nonononono, wait! WAIT!" Wally was waving his arms.
"Good luck Beatles!" Chris rang the doorbell with a smirk on his face and suddenly ran away.
"Oh shit, what am I going to do now? She would be here in a sec.."
"Hello Wally! Wait for my sister, she'll be there immediatly! Kuuuukiiiiii! Get down before the night will come!"
Obviously she was Mushi. She grew up similar to her sister, but she still had her pigtails and her liliac sweatshirt.
"Uh, ehrm, thanks Mushi.."
"That's ok! Look, here she comes!"
"Mushi-chan, who's there?" Wally gulped when he heard Kuki's voice.
"Hi Wally! What can I do for you?" She said with a smile. She looked surprised, but she was trying to hide it.
"H-hi Kuki... How're ya?"
"I'm ok thanks, and you?"
"That's it, I have to do it!" thought Wally.
"I'm fine. Shall we sit on that swing bench for a while?"
"Yeah sure!" She looked pleased to do that.
They sat on the swing bench, they were quite close.
Just for a second Kuki's hand touched Wally's one, making him blush.
"Sooo... What did you came here for?" Asked Kuki, she wanted to make some conversation.
"Look Kuki, there's a reason I came here for... There's something I have to tell you."
Kuki's eyes widened. "Go ahead.." Maybe they didn't know it, but their hearts were beating at the same, frenetic rhythm.
"I wanted to tell you that... that I... I am... I'm sorry.
I know what I did to you, but I didn't mean to do it, I was forced to.
" Wally said in frustration, then continued
"I hated that sheila even more than you did, Kuki.. She was always stuck to my ass! I was-"
Kuki put a finger over his mouth, he blushed even more.
"Shh... I heard everything at the cafeteria.. I always knew that you weren't a jerk.
I was so upset because I wanted to have an unforgettable night with the person I-..ehrm, with my best friend.
You know, I was sad and angry because of the situation, and not because of you, now that I know the truth."
Kuki smiled softly, she had a sweet look on her face.
"Kuki... Now that we've talked I have to ask you something..."
"Yees, Wally...?"
"Before all that happened, you were the most important person to me..
without you my life is meaningless, I need you to be beside me and never go away,
like the sun in a summer day. Me and you were strong toghether,
and when I realized that all this could end up, I despaired. You're wonderfull,
really wonderfull, and I didn't want you to go away from me..
But now that all is resolved, you have to listen to me.."
Kuki's eyes were sparkling, her smile grew huge.
Wally stood up, and took a white rose from behind
"Would you... like to be my bestfriend again?
" Kuki was astonished. She jumped on him, making he fell on the ground
"Yes! YESYESYESYESYESYESYEEEEEEEES!" She hugged him like they used to when they were kid.
"Ohh Wally, I'm so happy you asked me! You don't know how much I've missed youuuu!"
He couldn't belive it, she was crying of joy. He smiled, he was happy too but men shouldn't cry in his opinion.
"I have to go now, Kooks, It's late.. See you at school!"
"Wally thanks for all that.. you'll always be the best friend I've never had and I'll never have. Goodnight"
She gave him a kiss on the cheek.
Then she entered in her house.
Once she did, Chris showed up.
"You did it, Wally! You did it!" He gave him five and they hugged
"Hell yeahh! Thanks mate, you made me the luckiest guy of the entire universe!"
"No Wally, you did! You really did it!
" said Chris "Yes but I wouldn't do that if I hadn't met you outside the girls' gym!"
replied Wally "Maybe it was the fortune that helped you to find the occasion and the balls to to that!" Chris laughed.
"Haayy, that's not true!"
They arrived at Chris's house, they waved at each other.
Wally took out his mobile and phoned Hoagie.
"Hello Wally, wasup?"
"Hoags! You can't imagine of what happened to me right now! I'm so happy mate,
I have to tell you!" "Really? Come up to the tree house, we're all there but Kuki."
"Don't worry, I've just seen her! I'm comiiiiing!"
He run to the tree house, there were Hoagie and Nigel waiting for him.
"Tell us man, I wanna know everything.. Is that something about Numbuh three?" Asked Nigel "It is! Fuck yeah!"
Something pulled Wally away "Numbuh 5 wants to hear it too, step by step" Said Abby with her ordinary tone of voice,
Rachel was next to her, and had a curious look.
"What about Fanny and Patton?" Asked Wally "Ohh, don't mind about them, they will arrive. Now start!" ordered Hoagie playfully.
And Wally started telling about that beautiful day.
