Falalala!

Guess what I've been doing ALL day long?

Writing KND fanfiction of course. Fourth chapter today. This is ridiculous. O.o

This chapter should have a heavy dose of 3/4 and 2/5 fluff for your souls. :3

I think the song Breaking a Habit by Linkin Park really fits Wally.

Just listen to the words once, you really should. It's my muse for parts of this fanfiction.

I was going to have this cute little idea as a oneshot, but I decided to use it for a chapter instead. Enjoy, I hope. :D


Chapter Seven- Goin' On A Not-A-Date

(Abby)

The plan was simple...what? Oh, of course there was a plan. Don't be ridiculous, that was the whole reason Abby and Numbuh Two had even looked UP the pier. It was supposed to be a pretty hot-spot for daters and such, and it didn't have anything to do with Rainbow Monkeys. (A must on a set-up situation with Numbuh Four, since he'd be pissed if it had anything to do with the things he so lovingly called; "Rainbow Dorkies")

So that was why the four friends ended up on the pier. The plan was, as stated before, simple. Numbuh Two and her would find some excuse to back off and leave the two alone. They could probably find something to amuse themselves until the day was over. Abby glanced at Numbuh Two, he was really excited about this, and she couldn't help but smile. As geeky as he could be he was a really good friend to rely on, he only wanted what was best for the two.

She had had the team break into their money stock for the day, as the pier was full of small shops and games that could amuse them. Plus there were the games too. Numbuh Four was hesitant at first, but then Numbuh Three had given him a look that he completely melted over.

For her, he was a total push-over.

The smell of salt-water was all over the place, Abby instantly loved the place. It was busy, but not too busy. A LOT of couples were hanging around, which Numbuh Four seemed to notice since he was giving his friend a dirty-look. "Hey, it's a not-a-date remember?" Numbuh Two said with a chuckle, using Abby's name for their situation of the day.

Yeah boy, that's what you better think. Hope it hits him halfway through though. Abby smirked, even Numbuh Four would know a good moment to say something about his crush on Numbuh Three when the right moment bit him in the butt...she and Numbuh Two were just...providing that moment. She smiled and started to scan the crowd for some reason she could duck out with Numbuh Two and leave the two lovebirds alone. (Who ya talkin' about Abby hmmm!?)

"Hey, Numbuh Five see's a big arcade, she's gonna go hit that place up." She said, Numbuh Two instantly jumped to his feet.

"Sweet, I'll tag along!" He said with a smile that could have lit up the sky on the fourth of July. Abby actually found herself blushing a little bit. That was...weird, they had planned this out remember? She probably needed to get out of the sun for awhile.

"Cool Ah want-" Numbuh Four started before a death-glare from Numbuh Two. Whooo, when that boy wanted to glare he could really shoot you with those looks. The Australian boy blinked in bewilderment and Abby almost smacked the two for being so utterly clueless. "Okay...Ah guess not..."

"See you later Numbuh Three! Numbuh Four!" Numbuh Two said, then snickered as he leaned over to Abby and added, "Get it, see you later, as in S-E-A you later? Hahaha..."

"Boy I'm gonna beat you senseless if you keep it up." Abby said, but in a lighter tone than usualy. She actually found herself on the verge of laughing. So his jokes were bad, but he was trying to make people laugh so wasn't that reason enough to at least CHUCKLE for him?

They both slipped into the arcade and stood in the tent for what seemed like hours. (It was very hot in there) Finally the two they had decided to set up walked off into the crowd to do whatever it was Kuki wanted to do. (She was tugging Numbuh Four around by his sleeve.) Still, Abby found herself shaking her head, "Why is that boy wearin' his hood up? It's hot!"

"Dunno." Numbuh Two replied, "Sooo, what do you want to do?"

"Mmmm..." Abby replied, looking away to glance at her friend. He was beaming at her again, and for some strange reason she remembered what Numbuh Three had spealed about for what had seemed like ages. That she had thought Abby had a crush on Numbuh Two.

It was strange to think, since Numbuh Two wasn't your average crush material. He wasn't particularly cute, or extraordinary in anyway, except that he was really smart. And kind. She'd never really met somebody as nice as him. Abby looked away feeling incredibly startled. Listen to yourself girl and just THINK about how you feel about him...

Feeling uncharateristically nervous she glanced over to see that he was talking to her and she'd completely tuned him out. It was something about the latest thing he was working on, and it was REALLY obvious that he was doing it because he was nervous. Nervous around her? Why?


(Kuki)

She was generally a happy-go-lucky person. But being around Wally made her the happiest. He made her feel all warm and mushy in side. Well, not mushy like MUSHI, or mushy like squishy things. Just...softer somehow. She liked to see him smile, though for some reason he wasn't smiling really wide today. Does he have something stuck in his teeth, ewww...hehehe... (The writer would like to take a moment to cuddle Kuki senselessly right now)

"WOW! Look at tha'!" Wally said, pointing at some game that involved throwing things. Kuki would normally have rolled her eyes, but she also noticed that there was a massive Rainbow Monkey as a prize for that game. (So it wasn't completely Rainbow Monkey free AFTER all...) Not only that, but...she gaped. It was a RARE Rainbow Monkey, it was green with a pretty little shamrock on it's white belly.

"A Super Happy Lucky-Time Rainbow Monkey!" Kuki squealed, Wally groaned at her side, then seemed to eye the stand a little critically. Finally he heaved a sigh that sounded half-defeated for some reason, "What?"

Wally didn't reply, just sauntered up to the booth. He bought a ticket and grabbed the balls. The object seemed to be to knock down the bottles. As with many carnival games this was rigged though, the bottles were weighted so they wouldn't fall down unless somebody REALLY chucked a ball at them. Wally seemed to already have figured this. He weighed the ball in his hand, frowned a bit, and then heaved it at the bottles.

They didn't fall over, but they broke. The carnival guy stared in shock as Wally grinned at him. Kuki smiled, her friend was a tough-guy, and she couldn't help but be excited for him. Her eyes trailed over the prizes he could get for himself. She knew he wouldn't want the Rainbow Monkey, he hated them. There were other things too, a set of boxing gloves that she bet he'd really like too. So when he pointed at the big Rainbow Monkey she blinked at him in surprise.

"Ah...could ya get meh tha'?" Wally asked through grit teeth. Kuki stared at him in utter shock, and the carnival booth guy actually LAUGHED at him! The NERVE of that guy. "What?"

"A tough-guy like you getting a stuffed-" The man stopped at the deadly looks he was getting from both Kuki and Wally. Hastily he pulled down the big Rainbow Monkey, it was bigger than Wally was by far and Kuki couldn't help but giggle when he was lost in a mound of green plushieness.

"Roight..." Wally grunted, "Ya wanted it roight?"

"You won it just for me!?" Kuki said, blushing and feeling rather surprised. The boy didn't usually go out of his way to give gifts, or do things for others unless it was to prove how strong or tough he was. He looked genuinely embarassed and she grabbed the big toy with a squeal of joy, "Thank you Wally!"

"No problem Kooks." Wally grunted, but she was pretty sure he was smiling. Eee! That made her so happy. She hugged her new Rainbow Monkey and looked over at a stand selling Handkerchiefs. She handed her Super Happy Lucky-Time Rainbow Monkey over to Wally so quickly that he fell over with it.

She ran to the stand, picked out the one she'd noticed, and grinned happily. She bought it, and came back over to see her Australian friend muttering something about 'crazy girl tossing tha' thing at meh...' when she smiled at him and wrapped the orange handkerchief around the Rainbow Monkey's neck, "Now I'll always remember that you got it for me!"

"Yeah..." Wally said, blushing furiously. Kuki giggled at that, what was there to blush about in this situation?


(Hoagie)

He couldn't believe he was going to do this. But really, who would pass the oppurtunity up when they had one. Hoagie grinned a little and he turned to Abby, surprising his friend by the sudden movement, "I'm going to do something, hold on okay?"

"Numbuh Five will...what?" She said in surprise, confused. Hoagie vanished into the crowd making his way towards, yes, his destination. A stage. He crawled on top of it, standing by the teenager who was, at the moment, singing a song rather badly into the microphone. Heck yes, it was a karaoke stage.

"How do I sign up?" Hoagie asked the singing teenager who didn't answer, just kept shakin' it to the music. Numbuh Five hadn't noticed that he'd crawled up here yet. Perfect! A young man, who was either a teen or nearing that dreadful age, gestured to him. Numbuh Two jumped over and the kid grinned.

"Wanna sing then buddy?" He asked, tilting his head to one side.

"Yup, can I pick the song?" Hoagie asked. The guy grinned at him.

"Of course." The guy said, "You're up next then."


(Wally)

He shouldn't have given her that Rainbow Monkey. He hated those things, and he HATED associating himself with them. Now he'd forever be associated with that green puff-ball of doom, with that bright orange neckerchief it had now. The truth was...well, he kind of liked it. Which made him a little grumpy.

Not grumpy enough to ruin his mood though. He was surprised by how much fun he was having. (Though he was wondering where the heck Numbuh Five and Numbuh Two ran off too...) Wally blinked and looked around, Kuki was gone! Panic gripped him, had he been stupid enough to lose her in the crowd?

"WALLY!" She yelled, startling him so badly that he almost fainted for fright. He looked up at her with a slight scowl on his features but she was giggling. Shyly, she held out something in her hand. "For you."

At first Wally thought she'd gotten him a cruddy piece of jewelry, but the next instant he realized (luckily before he said something stupid) that it was, while a piece of jewelry, something a guy would wear. It was a necklace, woven out of dark green thread with a shark's tooth on the very end. Somehow she'd gotten the number's three and four burned on both sides of it. She was looking at him worriedly, afraid he wouldn't like it. "Hey! Cool, is tha' a real shark's tooth? How'd ya get our number's on there?"

"You like it?" She asked, sounding delighted, "I just made it at the stand. You were zoned out a bit so I ran off for a little while, did I worry you?"

"Loike it? Ah love it! Awesome, looks loike Ah totally kicked some shark butt!" Wally grinned at her, forgetting completely about his fangs. She looked slightly confused for a moment but he was tying the necklace around his neck before she could say anything. He smiled again, "Awesome, thanks Kooks!"

"You're welcome." She said with a giggle, and hugged him tightly. Wally blushed.


(Abby)

"Hold up, wait a minute, put a little LOVE in it..." Abby froze, no way. That was...she turned and her eyes landed on her friend. Numbuh Two was standing on a karoake stand with an incredibly goofy grin spreading across his face. He winked at her, actually WINKED at her, how cheesy how... She stared in utter surprise. "Yeah...Doctor, Doctor, I've got an emergency! It seems I'm head over heels, a case of L-O-V-EEEE! It's like I'm glowing inside! Yeah, a light I can't hide! And if this feeling is bad then I don't wanna be right! What I've got in my soul gives me the highest delight! Oh yeah it's better than druuugs! In fact it's sent from above, huh huh!"

It was a screaming song, which was kind of surprising she'd have pegged Numbuh Two as a person who listened to something a little...geekier. Was there a geeky kind of music? She actually recognized it too. It was the song Luv Addict by Family Force 5, one of Abby's favorite bands surprisingly.

"Hold up wait a minute put a little love in it!" Hoagie started to dance around which made Abby kind of laugh, she couldn't help it. He wasn't just singing the dang song but throwing in his own personal dance moves to it, and they were TERRIBLE. She covered her mouth with her hand to hide her laughter. "HEEEY, Can't kick the habit! Yeah, I got to have it! Yeah, I 'm what they call a LOVE addict! LOVE addict! HEEY, can't live without it! Yeah, G'on shout about it! HEEY, I'm a symptomatic! LOVE addict, LOVE addict!"

"Nice..." Some kid beside her said with an amused laugh, a girl with curly blonde hair. "That your boyfriend?"

Abby looked at her in surprise, "What?"

"Need a refill cause I just can't get enough! I've got a fever, oh yeaAh, and the prescription's love! So lay the truth on me! Cause that is all that I need! Huh-huh! ...HOLD up, wait a minute, put a little love in it! HEEEY, Can't kick the habit! YEAH, I got to have it! Yeah, I 'm what they call a LOVE addict! LOVE addict! Hey, can't live without it! YEAH, G'on shout about it! HEEEEEY, I'm a symptomatic LOVE addict, LOVE addict!" After this, the song broke into a part that was slower for a moment, kind of a dance moment for Hoagie. Which Hoagie hammed up ALL the way. (Have you noticed that it's Hoagie now and not Numbuh Two? The writer toooootally did that on puuuurpose...) He even turned around and waggled his hindquarters a little bit. Abby took the moment to break from her surprise and attempt to smother herself with her hat instead. She was laughing so hard that her sides started to hurt.

"Oh God..." Abby managed to choke out, trying her best to keep the laughter down. Hoagie smiled at her and waved, though he was still continuing with his song. She was suddenly pushed up onto the stage, she decided that she would dance with her friend up there. Might as well, he couldn't have all the fun to himself you know. Hoagie still danced as cheesy as ever, but she actually couldn't help but get into the beat. So there was a ham yukkin' it up on stage and a girl that danced rather very well.

"I'm blessed, I must confess. My heart is pounding in my chest. Cause this love's the best. I'm just a love addict." Hoagie sang out. Shaking his butt around and grinning very widely.

"Coming down with something outrageous! Lookout now cause it so contagious! This feeling's got me reeling! So amped up that I hit the ceiling! Gotta clear my throat, Huh huh! Now I gotta have some more!" Abby decided to join the singing this time, squeezing next to Hoagie and singing into the microphone with him. Which again was incredibly amusing since Hoagie was terribly tone-deaf, and she actually could sing VERY well. Abby didn't care, she was having a ton of fun with this. "Hold up, wait a minute put a little LOVE in it!"

"HEEEY!" Hoagie screamed, and Abby almost had to stop singing because she wanted to laugh again. "Can't kick the habit! Yeah?I got to have it! YEAH!? I'm what they call a LOVE addict! LOVE addict! HEY! Can't live without it! YEAH! G'on shout about it! Hey, I'm a symptomatic LOVE addict! LOVE addict! Can't kick the habit! Yeah? I got to have it! YEAH!? I'm what they call a LOVE addict! LOVE addict! HEY! Can't live without it! YEAH! G'on shout about it! HEEEY, I'm a symptomatic LOVE addict! LOVE addict!"

The song was suddenly over and both the friends fell over in a heap of laughter. Abby smiled at her friend and he turned red in the face and glanced away with a giggle she'd only ever heard when he was around Cree. That surprised her a little bit, so she looked around for her sister and didn't see her there. Confusion plastered on her face, she looked at Hoagie who was standing up.

"Ma'Lady?" He questioned in an over-exaggerated flourish. Abby rolled her eyes at him. What a goof.

Face it girl. She told herself as he pulled her to her feet, You've fallen head over heels for that goof. What have I gotten myself into?


(Wally)

It was a good day. Not that he liked watching cruddy sunsets mind you, but he didn't mind watching the ocean when the sun WASN'T setting. And hey, he wasn't complaining that the dock they were sitting on was small, and that Kuki had to sit VERY close to him either. Not that he liked mushy romantic things or anything like that.

He was fiddling with his shark tooth, the one Kuki got him earlier. He really liked it, and all the more since Kuki got it for him. Wait, was that romantic? Nah, it was a shark tooth so it was manly enough to like. (Be amused with the writer now...)

Wouldn't now be the perfect time to say something? Wally thought. All the times he'd have that would have been the perfect oppurtunity had never been as perfect as this moment. Couldn't he just spill it? Tell her? The boy swung his legs about in thought, and suddenly Kuki's giggle snapped him out of his world.

"What?" He asked, she smiled at him and looked out over the ocean.

"You have a really intense expression on your face when your thinking hard." She chippered, smiling radiantly at him and making his heart flop around a little pathetically. "It's kind of funny."

"How noice of ya ta say." Wally said, pretending to be put-off by this. She caught the glint of humor in his eyes and giggled again. Wally stared down at his bandaged hands, "He-ey Kooks?"

"Mmmhmm?" She asked, looking at him, somehow sensing the seriousness.

"What if...well, ya know...what if Ah told ya that..." Wally's head suddenly spun and he froze with panic and surprise. He was TINGLING. Aw crud. "That...tha' weh need ta foind Numbuh Five and Numbuh Two! NOW! It's kinda late..."

"Are you okay?" She said as he staggered to his feet. The tingling was getting worse, he had to do something.

"Huh? Oh, Ah'm foine! Gotta find the other's though, they've been gone forevuh!" Wally hastily took off down the dock, trying very hard not to pass out. That tingling hurt after awhile, remember? He trembled with the effort to fight the change that was just bound to happen. He'd never done that before, well...sure, he'd only really changed shape what four times right? Well still, he'd never held it off before, he'd never REALLY fought it, and he was pretty sure he never wanted to ever again because it HURT. So bad that his vision kept flickering.

"Wally I think you're not okay..." Kuki said. Wally's heart tore, he had to get rid of her. Don't be mean, please don't be mean...

"You're roight..." Wally finally choked out, coming to a last minute and uncharateristically clever way out. "Go...go get help, Ah think Ah'm gonna pass out."

Hey, he wasn't lying either. Kuki sat him down on a bench and took off to go and get help. Wally hated it that he wouldn't be here when she got back, pain rippled through him, and he fell off the bench as soon as she was out of sight. Several people yelled in surprise, and shock, as a little boy in front of them passed out, shrunk, and changed into a cat.


DARN YOU CURSE! HE WAS TRYING TO FIX YOU! -falls over-

Right, n.n

What problems will this cause for our protagonist? Lawl, Wally, a protagonist...

A hero even.

XP

How amusing.

I think my favorite part for me to write was the karaoke part. It was totally random, I was thinking of something I could do to make some sparks happen between Numbuh Two and Numbuh Five when the song Luv Addict came on my iPod. I got this incredibly vivid picture of Numbuh Two singing it and hamming it up on stage and couldn't help but add it to this chapter.

I thought Abby would totally be one who would, surprisingly, actually like Family Force 5. Because that band is just freakin' cool, and Abby's freakin' cool too. RAWR!

Wow, this chapter was pretty long...

Reviews much appreciated :3
