Chapter Seven: Forget Me, Forget Him Not

Wally is backed up against the machine, trying to get as far away from the red-haired smirking maniac in front of him. Unfortunately for him, he couldn't walk through walls, and Fanny was well aware.

"So," Fanny speaks, breaking the tension of the surrounding situation, "I don't know where to begin." She steps closer to him, caused Wally to jump back, banging his back against the wall. She stops in front of him, her teeth showing in anger, "I know, how about we start with the part where you pretended to like me and asked me out so you and your little friends could break into my house and BURN DOWN MY ROOM!" Fanny raises her voice, her face turning bright red; about to explode.

Wally laughs nervously, secretly terrified out of his mind, "Well, uhh...how about we don't start with that?"

Fanny surprisingly backs away from him, her face starting to return to its normal shade of pale, "You're right, let's not even talk about that," she says walking to the opposite end of the room, "That was in the past. It was just one many stupid actions that you and your little sector did." Fanny stops walking and turns toward Wally glaring, "But I hope you know that all actions have consequences."

"Oh no," Wally states, frantically waving his hands out in front of him, "You are not taking Kuki away from us, she had no part in this. She didn't know anything about this I swear."

Fanny smirks and manages to grunt out a laugh, "Oh, I know," Fanny responds, taking one step closer to him, "Trust me, you're not going to have to worry about me doing anything to your precious little Kuki."

Wally gives Fanny a look of disbelief before managing to squeak out, "You're not?"

"No, I'm not going to do anything to her," Fanny replies heading back towards the opposite side of the room, "I would never unjustly punish a member of Kids Next Door, even if their sector did something very terrible. I do follow by the rules Wally."

Wally breathes a sigh of relief, "Well, I guess that's the end of that," he thinks to himself, before heading towards the door, "Well, see you later!"

"Now wait just a minute here!" Fanny shouts coldly, causing Wally to stop in his tracks inches from the door, "I only said that Kuki wasn't going to get punished, I never said anything about you and the rest of Sector V receiving a 'get-out-of-jail-free' card."

Wally turns back and faces Fanny, trying hard not to make her any more upset than she already was, but it was the leftover pizza that was creeping up his stomach that he should've been more concerned about, "What are you going to do to us?" he asks weakly, his eyes darting down to the floor beneath him.

"As Head of Decommissioning here at the Kids Next Door Moonbase, I think you can guess," Fanny responds, with a expression on her face, that seemed as if she was enjoying this.

"You're going to make us pick broccoli with our bare hands?" Wally asks, a dumbfounded forming on his face.

Fanny sighs heavily and slaps her face in frustration, "No," Fanny manages to speak, "How many times do I have to tell you that that never happened! Now I can see why everyone in your sector got paired together, because of all you guys' nonsense about DNK, and watermelons and this whole thing about everybody turning into elder zombies and the Delightful Children from Down the Lane actually being the missing Sector Z of the KND."

"Really?" Wally says, pondering, "Huh, I don't remember that last one."

"That's beside the point," Fanny continues walking towards him, "The point is, your sector cost thousands in damages and medical bills, so in order to save the Kids Next Door financially, I have no choice but to decommission the four of you."

"What?" Wally exclaims, his head starting to spin in horror, "But-but-you can't. That isn't fair!"

"I'll tell you what isn't fair," Fanny says, "What your team did to my bedroom and my precious Rainbow Monkeys!" Wally starts to crack up, Fanny glares at him, "Besides," she continues, "It's too late, I already sent your three little friends to decommissioning, and now, I'm going to send you."

Fanny claps her hands and in a few seconds two guards are heading straight towards Wally to grab him. Wally backs up against the wall in fear, "Ahh! No!" he cries, frantically looking for a way out.

Wally turns around, coming face-to-face with the open door two inches away from him, "Well that was useful," he responds before dashing out the door into the hallway.

He races down the hallway, searching for a sign of any of his teammates. "I have to get there…" Wally says, trying to stabilize his breath from running so hard, "I have to save them."

After a few minutes of running, Wally turns around to check and see if the guards are still chasing after him. He breathes a sigh of relief when he sees the emptiness of the hall behind him, "Well at least something is going my way, now I just have to make sure that I don't run into any-oww!"

Wally's inattentiveness causes him to collide into something or someone. As Wally falls to the floor, holding the side of his head in pain, he hears a slightly higher, yet familiar voice shout his name.

"Oww Wally!" Kuki responds, gripping the opposite side of her head in pain, "Why do you always do that when I'm about to save you?"

"Kuki?" Wally sits up in excitement and glances over; sure enough she is sitting a few feet away from him, rubbing her aching head.

"Wally? What are you doing here-?" Kuki begins, struggling to lift her head back up.

Remembering the mission, he quickly grabs her by the arm, helping her up from the floor, "No time to talk," Wally quickly interrupts, "Kuki, you have got to help me! Fanny sent the others to decommissioning, we got to save them!"

"What?" Kuki responds, gripping her Rainbow Monkeys watch in panic, "Well why didn't you say that sooner? Let's go!"

And with that Kuki grabs Wally by the hand and races down the hallway with him; both of them hoping to save their friends.
