Disclaimer: I don't claim this, and if I did, I'd get my ass in jail. How sad. So no, I don't own this :)
(A/N: This one is going to be a tinsy bit longer than the rest, because it goes from the plane to his meeting with his grandma. A lot of detail and a lot of his personal thoughts :D)
Wally folded his arms to his chest and stared out at the blue skies. He still had two more hours on the plane – how fantastic. He did not want to be there anymore. Everyone was glaring at him and giving him the cold shoulder ever since he snapped at the young woman named Sarah. Well, it's her own dang fault. She has no idea what Ah'm going through, she should keep her nose out of my cruddy business. Wally huffed and growled under his breath, his eyes following the clouds as they flew past him.
Wally couldn't help, but notice the way the clouds were forming. Ah must be going crazy. That cloud looks exactly like Kuki. And that one looks just like Mum and Joey. Wally blinked and stared at the clouds, and as he did so, after a few minutes, the clouds disappeared, and Wally was left with an empty feeling in his stomach. It was his fault, he is the one who left the Kids Next Door, and he is the one who broke Kuki's heart – and yet, Wally couldn't find a reason to care.
Wally unglued his eyes from the window and pulled out a picture from his hoodie pocket. Wally had been unaware, that when he was putting his stuff in the luggage area of the Airport, he had taken out the picture of him and his team and placed it in his hoodie pocket. He traced their faces with his fingers and couldn't help, but suppress a sigh.
Suddenly, Wally felt the seat next to him move and he looked up. Wally looked up to see the little girl that Sarah had been with. The girl had huge baby blue eyes. They were wide with curiosity and the girl spoke in a babyish voice, "Are they your fwiends?" It was clear to Wally that she had been watching him, and now, she was staring at the picture in his hands.
Wally looked down at the picture, and then looked back at the girl. He nodded, "Yeah." Wally had grown up in a kid environment – where the only enemies were teenagers and adults, so he had no intention on being mean to the little girl. Besides, she was only about four years old, what harm could she possibly do to him?
The girl smiled widely at him – a smile that reminded him all too much of Kuki Sanban, which only brought another pang to his heart, which he ended up only ignoring. "What are deir names? How owld are deh? What's your wame? And how owld are yew?"
Wally suddenly forgot how annoying little kids could get. But he made a vow to him and the Kids Next Door when he was seven years old, and he would keep that vow for the rest of his days – he would never harm a little kid, even if it meant hurting himself. Wally sighed at his thoughts and gave the girl a fake little smile, "This one is Nigel," He pointed to Numbuh One on the picture – it was better to say their first names than what he called them by. The girl wouldn't understand what he meant anyways. He than pointed to Numbuh Five and Numbuh Two, "that one is Abby, and that one is Hoagie." Wally took a deep breath as he pointed to the last one in the picture – the one that was hugging the crud out of him, "And that on is Kuki." Wally closed his eyes and spoke up again, "Nigel is almost thirteen, Hoagie and Abby are twelve, Abby is the second oldest though, and Kuki is only about two months younger than me – and she is twelve too."
Wally sighed and watched the girl again. She looked sad, as though she could almost feel his pain. Which was impossible, though, "And my name is Wally." That was all that Wally said after that. He knew the girl would be replying sooner or later, but for the moment, she was quiet. Almost as though she was contemplating on something.
"My name is Christy. My momma named me after her best fwiend who had diwed in a fiwere." The four year old girl – Christy – suddenly looked very sad. It gave Wally a new pang in his heart. He hated to see her look so sad – and he had no idea why. Then again, she had the same color of hair as Kuki, she even smiled like her, so maybe that's why he hated to see her sad – because he hated to see Kuki sad.
Wally blinked at her and sighed, "That's very sad, Christy. Now let me tell you something," He leaned in close to her and whispered, "Ah was in a car wreck Q days ago, and my mom and baby brother were killed, but Ah survived. My dad now hates me, and Ah quiet the Kids Next Door. Do me a favor kid, when you turn seven, find a Kids Next Door – wherever you live – and become a member, because it'll be the best choice you'll ever make – believe me."
Christy's eyes were widened as she stared at him. "I'm sowwy, Wawwy. I will, I pwomise. For you, I pwomise. Were, deh in dah Kids Next Dowr, wit you?" It was completely hard to understand the girl – for someone else – but seeing as Wally had a younger brother, who was almost three, he could understand her.
Wally gave her another fake smile and nodded his head. "Good girl, Christy. Now, why don't you go sit with your Mum? She looks awful lost without you." It was a lie, no doubt about it, but Wally needed to think about some things. And when he needed to think – really hard – he needed to be alone. So, he watched the girl crawl off the seat and walk over to her mom and gave her a big hug. She has no idea how lucky she is. She has no idea how much Ah wish Ah still had my mother.
Wally shook his head and pulled out the TV screen. He wanted to watch something to get his mind off his mother, his brother, his team, and definitely Kuki. He went through all the channels, looking for something interesting to watch, but found nothing to watch. Wally sighed and shut off the TV screen and pulled it back up. He had no idea what he was going to do for the two hours. There was nothing FOR him to do. Ah guess…Ah could just go to sleep…With that thought being thought, Wally closed his eyes and let himself sink off into dreamland.
Wally looked up and saw the many faces he had wanted to see – his mom, his baby brother, Hoagie, Nigel, Abby, and he even saw Rebecca and Fanny. But the most important face he saw was Kuki Sanban. She shone like the brightest star in the sky, and had a smile that even melted his cold-heart. "Wally!" Her voice was like an angel, and Wally so much wanted to reach out and hug her – for the first time in his life.
But when he tried to do so, something yanked him back. He looked up to see his father, and then, all the adults and teenagers – all the villains – were behind him. Wally could hear his team, and the other Kids Next Door operatives, telling him to run. So Wally did.
"Wally! Run! Hurry! They're coming for you!" Wally could hear the angel-voice of Kuki scream at him – no, not scream, more like sing – but every time he tried to run, it was no use. The villains and all the people he had hated all his life, were high on his tail. He wasn't going to beat them.
Wally could hear Kuki yelling for him, but it was too late. The villains took him, cackling their evil laughter – and threw him into darkness once more. Wally could hear their cackling, the screams of the Kids Next Door operatives, and Kuki's sobbing. But there was nothing he could do. Wally was screaming, as he fell down into darkness once again. It was like falling in a rabbit hole in Alice in Wonderland – only this hole was much more scarier. It was a rabbit hole that Wally only wanted to escape from, and yet, he found no strength to escape it. And so, he gave up and just let himself fall into darkness.
Wally woke up with a start and shook his head. He pulled out his phone and blinked at the time. It was 12:01 PM. That meant, he had about an hour left to go. Wally blinked again and couldn't help, but raise an eyebrow. Ah've been asleep for an hour? Huh. That's interesting. Wally blinked away sleep and rubbed his eyes. Since he had wasted about an hour of sleep, he needed something else to do. He looked over and saw the flight attendant bringing around a trolley full of food. Wally licked his lips and called her over to him with a snap of his fingers.
The flight attendant gave him a soft glare, but proceeded over to him anyways. "What would you like…sir?" He could tell she didn't really like him, but she had to serve him anyways. What? Just because Ah'm alone, means you have to hate me? Sheesh! Adults are so cruel. No wonder Ah hate them so much. Wally gave her a big fake smile and look as though he were thinking for a moment, knowing she would get easily angered.
After a few minutes, he finally knew what he wanted. "Hmmm….how about you just get me some cake or ice cream, and a big glass of chocolate milk? Yes?" Wally gave her another, big fake smile, and watched as she scowled at him.
"Just a minute, sir and I'll get you your dessert." She hissed in his ear and turned away and stomped off towards the 'kitchen' area of the plane. Wally sat back, pleased with himself. Adults are so easy to control, though. It's pretty pathetic, actually. Wally snorted and looked up to see her return with a bowl of ice cream and a big glass of chocolate milk. "We're all out of cake, so here." She handed him his ice cream and chocolate milk and stormed off.
Wally snorted again and pulled out the tray so he could put his food and drink on it. Yess, very easy to control, indeed. Wally ate his ice cream and drank his chocolate milk in less than twenty minutes. When the flight attendant came back, she had a fake smile on her face – apparently the pilot had seen the way she was treating him and gave her a lecture – and took his dirty dishes away.
After a few minutes of staring off into space, an empty feeling found its way back into Wally's stomach, and he had the urge to jump out of the air plane and just let himself die. That is, until he saw the same young girl – Christy, was it? – playing with a Rainbow Monkey. She even shares the same likes as Kuki. Maybe she'll come sit over here again. No! Why do Ah want her over here? Because she's too much like Kuki… Wally's thoughts trailed off and he turned away from the little girl at the same moment she bounced over to him.
"Mistaw Wawwy, sir, Momma says I should let you pway wit my Wainbow Mwonkewy, cuz she says you wooked a wittle sad when you saw it." The girl spoke up, nearly spooking the crud out of Wally. Wally turned to look at her and stared at the Rainbow Monkey for a few moments, before he understood what she said.
Wally sighed and shook his head. "Nawh, its okay, kid. It's yours, and it only reminds me of Kuki, is all. She always loved those things." A frown found its way upon Wally's face, but he didn't say anything more than that.
Christy frowned at him and put the Rainbow Monkey on the seat next to him. "Yew cans kweep him den, if he rewinds yew of her." With that said, the little girl bounded off and left the Rainbow Monkey on the seat next to Wally.
Wally picked it up and could feel the emptiness return, and ended up hugging the little stuffed animal, with tears that never came.
After about twenty minutes, the plane came to a stop, and Wally grabbed his stuff – including the Rainbow Monkey that the little girl gave him – and got off it. His luggage was waiting for him at the bottom of the plane and he picked it up, before heading off to find the car that his grandma was in.
Suddenly, Wally heard a voice behind him. "Wallabee Beatles, is that my grandson?"
Wally turned around to find his blond-headed grandmother, with a big smile on her plump face. Is she actually smiling at me? Sheesh, she's changed a lot. "Grandmother Madison?" He walked up to her with a fake smile on his face.
"Oh, just call me Grandma dear." With that being said, his grandma – who was only about a foot or so taller than him – gave her grandson a big hug, nearly squishing the life out of him. "Is that a Rainbow Monkey, Wally?"
Wally blushed and nodded, shrugging his shoulders. "Yeah, well, it's a long story."
Grandma Madison only smiled at her grandson and nodded. "Well, we have a long time to talk, lets get going." With that said, they headed off to his grandma's car – which was a sun-shine yellow slug bug – Volkswagen - and Wally climbed in. "Well you better get started talking, dear."
And so, Wally began to tell her the whole story.
(A/N: I told everyone it was going to be a lot longer than most of my other chapters. Haha. Anyways, I'll be getting to my next chapter here soon, don't worry. And, I decided to make his grandmother a little nicer than what she seemed at first. She is going to be a loving grandmother, but a very ignorant one, seeing as she is Wally's grandmother. Anyways, Rate and review, yes? xD)
