A little heads up, this chapter may be a bit short. See, it's been stuck in my head for a while and I've just got to get it out before I go mad! I hope you all will enjoy it.
Disclaimer: Is this really necessary? I don't own KND, Mr. Warburton does. There, I said it. Now, on with the story!
Transmission Continued….
Mashi was on his way to Numbuh 5's room when he heard a voice that sounded like squeaky violins. He shuddered. It was coming from Numbuh 3's room. He decided to stop and peep in. Numbuh 3 was dancing around and singing the Rainbow Monkeys theme-song…
"Rainbow Monkeys, Rainbow Monkeys, oh so very Round and Super Chunky!"
She was dancing with an Orange Rainbow Monkey. Mashi smiled evilly to himself.
"Spreading LOVE wherever they go…Everyone is made of a Big RAINBOW…!"
Meanwhile, Numbuh 4's show had just gone off and he decided to go and talk to Kuki about Mashi. He had to get her to believe him about Mashi being a bad guy. He made his way to her room as well, only to see Mashi standing in her doorway. He growled to himself, but froze when he heard Kuki's angelic voice singing a…not-so angelic song. But whenever she sang it, it made the song itself not seem so bad. He couldn't help but to smile. His Kuki always seemed so cheerful! Wait, his Kuki? He blushed softly to himself, happy that no one was around to see him. Kuki continued...
"Oh…RED and ORANGE and GREEN and BLUE….Rainbow Monkeys, Rainbow Monkeys WE LOVE YOU!"
She cried. She gave her Orange Rainbow Monkey a great big hug. Then…she heard clapping. It spooked her and she turned around to see Mashi standing there.
"Hi Mashi!" She waved, keeping the Orange Rainbow Monkey in her arms.
"Excellent! Wonderful! Magnifique!" Mashi said. Kuki blushed.
"Oh, I'm not that good." Kuki said.
"Are you kidding?" Mashi stepped in and Numbuh 4 was right on his tail. He kept himself quiet so no one would know he was there. He was watching Mashi's performance. Maybe Mashi had an evil mind-ray or something that he zapped people with to make them not realize how evil he truly was.
"Your voice is a beautiful as you are." Mashi said. Kuki smiled and waved him off.
"Oh, go on…." She said. Mashi stopped. Kuki turned to him.
"No, really, I mean go on….I want to here more!" She said. She giggled. Mashi smiled. Numbuh four didn't see any mind-ray. So how was Mashi doing this?
"You're so happy all of the time and your smile makes you look SO radiant." Kuki continued to blush and smiled. Numbuh 4 rolled his eyes. Mashi was really getting on his nerves, the way he was trying to kiss up to Kuki.
"You know Kuki…you have the potential to be a STAR." Mashi said. He walked behind her and placed his hands on her shoulders. Kuki looked up.
"A STAR?" She asked with stars in her eyes. Mashi held up his hands for effect.
"Yeah. A star." He walked around in front of her and formed his fingers in the shape of a box.
"You've got the voice, the talent, and most of all…the look."
"The look?"
"Yes, the look." He walked behind her again.
"You're more beautiful then…" He gasped… "…dare I say it…." He looked around and whispered in her ear.
"Angelic Princess Rainbow Monkey." He whispered. Kuki gasped and let out a squeal. Wally was getting really ticked. Kuki was falling head over heels for this guy, feeding off of any line he gave her. How could she be so vulnerable?
"Angelic Princess Rainbow Monkey! But, she's the most beautiful and gorgeous Rainbow Monkey out of all of the Rainbow Monkeys!"
"She's not more gorgeous than you." Mashi said. He smiled to himself. Kuki was such a sap, a sucker even. Kuki giggled. Wally couldn't take it anymore.
"Oh for the love of…Kuki….I can't believe you're listening to this guy!" Wally cried.
"Wally!" Kuki looked at him.
"He's so playing you!" Wally said walking in Kuki's room and pointing at Mashi. He could tell that Mashi really didn't like Kuki, he could see the evil in Mashi's eyes.
"He's telling you these lies and you're falling for it like pile of logs or somethin'!" Kuki considered Wally's words for a moment and Mashi started getting mad. Wally was ruining his plan. But you know, Mashi was such a genius that he made another plan right there on the spot, to get Wally in trouble.
"Lies….lies you say?"
"Yeah, Lies. Do I have to spell it out for you? Q…Z...B…K…D…J…LIES!" Numbuh four said. Kuki scrunched up her face. She knew that was not how you spelled 'Lies'. Mashi, however, grinned. Wally was making himself look like an idiot! He started to circle Wally.
"So, let me get this straight Numbuh Four; you're telling me that Kuki is NOT more beautiful than the most beautiful Rainbow Monkey in the history of Rainbow Monkeys? Because, that would mean thatshe is….indeed…uglier… than the Angelic Princess Rainbow Monkey…" Kuki gasped.
"Feh! Who cares!"
"Not you, obviously." Mashi said. Wally grabbed Mashi's collar.
"Listen, I hate those stupid cruddy Rainbow Donkeys anyway, so don't you start with me!" Mashi pried Wally's fingers off of him and dusted himself off. Kuki felt her blood pressure starting to rise.
"IT'S RAINBOW MONKEYS!" She and Mashi cried at the same time. They looked at each other.
"I DON'T CARE!" Wally cried. Kuki frowned.
"Oh, Numbuh four, be quiet!" She turned to Mashi and smiled at him.
"How do you know about the beauty of Rainbow Monkeys like the Angelic Princess Rainbow Monkey?" Wally folded his arms and mumbled to himself. Why was Kuki ignoring him? Mashi closed his eyes.
"Well, I think Rainbow Monkeys are beautiful, Kuki my dear." He lied.
"She's not your dear." Wally mumbled angrily. No one heard him though. The truth was, Mashi really thought they were stupid too. But he had done some research and Sector V and knew that Rainbow Monkeys were Kuki's obsession. He took her hand in his own.
"I don't hate them…" He glared at Numbuh 4, "…Like some kids." Kuki shot an evil glare at Numbuh 4 too. Numbuh four stuck out his tongue as if he was going to hurl. Any decent boy wouldn't be caught dead with a Rainbow Monkey because they liked Yipper cards better. Numbuh four looked at Mashi.
"So I hate Rainbow Monkeys! Big deal!" Kuki put her hands on her hips.
"How can you be so mean Numbuh 4? Who wouldn't fall in love with something as adorable as this!" She cried, holding out her Orange Rainbow Monkey for Numbuh for to see.
"I wouldn't!" Numbuh four cried, pointing to himself.
"And anyone who would is crazy!" He said. He pointed to the Rainbow Monkey.
"I mean, look at these cruddy things, their all fat and stupid colors with stupid smiles, I mean come on! They're for babies!" Kuki felt herself about to cry.
"No self-respecting kid would be caught dead with those things!" Mashi walked over to Kuki and put his hands on her shoulders. Wally saw this.
"Get ya cruddy hands off heah (her)". He said in a warning tone. He growled, but Mashi didn't budge.
"You do realize that you just called Kuki stupid and crazy." Wally growled and froze. What was Mashi saying?
"What!" Wally cried.
"I did not!"
"Yes, you did. You see, Rainbow Monkeys are a part of Kuki. By saying you hate Rainbow Monkeys, you're really saying you hate Kuki." Wally's eyes grew wide.
"I am not!" He cried. Mashi stared maliciously at Wally.
"So if you don't hate Kuki, do you love her!" Mashi asked. Wally started blushing.
"W-what are you t-talking about! You're nuts!" Wally cried, pointing at Mashi.
"Or are you, to chicken to answer my question?" Mashi asked, pointing right back and Wally. Wally started to back down.
"No…I mean…I don't hate her…but I don't love….I mean I do….no I don't I…ugh…er…" He looked from Kuki to Mashi and back to Kuki. His brain was starting to hurt. Kuki looked as if she was going to cry. What was Mashi doing?
"Um…d-don't go trying to change the subject! You're the one who's lying to Kuki!"
"That's not how it looks from this angle." Mashi said, releasing Kuki.
"Yeah? Well that's what's really going on fly-boy! You're putting stuff in her head and confusing her! So knock it off!" Wally said, tapping his head.
"Hmm, so you think I'm lying to her, don't you?" He started circling Numbuh 4 again.
"Y-yeah. That's right."
"You think I'm kissing up to her?"
"Yeah" Wally started to calm down. Mashi was practically telling on himself.
"So if I'm lying to her, does that also mean her voice is bad and not heavenly? That her voice sounds like…oh I don't know…squeaky violins!" Mashi continued. Kuki put her hands to her mouth and waited for Wally's answer. Wally smiled and folded his arms.
"Yeah! That's Right…I…" Wally paused.
"No…wait…what!" He said, confusing himself. His eyes grew wide.
(A/N: Ever see operation P.O.O.L? Remember when Negative Numbuh 1 accidentally mentioned his leader when they were dismantling Numbuh 2's energy enhancement grid? Remember that look on Wally's face when he said, "W-what?" It's the same look here; just to give you a visual. Ok, back to the story!)
What was he saying? He growled out of frustration and slapped himself in the forehead. Mashi got him again. Kuki gasped.
"WAIT! NO!"
"NUMBUH FOUR!" She screamed. Tears came to her eyes.
"That's not what I…I mean…what I meant to say was….that's not what I meant Numbuh 3!" Mashi grinned.
"Then what DID you mean Numbuh four?" He asked evilly.
"Yeah, what DID you mean Numbuh four!" Kuki said angrily with her hands on her hips. She was getting really ticked off. Wally felt defeated. He started sweating.
"Better think of a good answer Wallabe, or else it looks like you're going to be in the dog house." Mashi said. Wally frowned at Mashi.
"It's Numbuh Four ta you." He said angrily.
"Whatever."Mashi said. Kuki cleared her throat.
"Ahem!"Wally and turned to her.
"I'm waiting Numbuh Four!"
"Kuki…what I meant to say was…I…I…" Wally paused and stared at Kuki. She was beautiful, even when she was mad. This made him a little uneasy. He swallowed the lump in his throat. Maybe now would be as good a time as any to tell her how he felt. At least that would get Mashi off of his case.
"I…" He looked away from her. Maybe this would be easier.
"I….I do think that….that you are beautiful and…" Kuki's demeanor started to change as Wally continued.
"Y-you… I think that you…er…um…sing really good…and….and…I…I" Kuki started to smile was Wally continued to stutter and blush.
"I-I think that you…uh…" Mashi interrupted him.
"Oh! Okay. So, hey Kuki, it sound's more like Wally does love you…Is that what you 'meant' Wally?" Mashi asked. Kuki blushed.
"WHAT! NO I DON'T!" Wally cried blushing. Darn it! He chickened out! Now Kuki would be mad at him again.
"Why else would you think she was beautiful?"
"I don't! I mean…I do but…I didn't say that…I…." Kuki's face fell. She sort of hoped Wally was finally admitting to that crush he had on her, if he had one at all. But it didn't look like he did. Wally was just saying things to cover himself. Wally growled.
"QUIT PUTTING WORDS IN MY MOUTH AND MESSING WITH MY HEAD!" He said.
"You're putting words in your own mouth." Mashi said. He turned to Kuki.
"Numbuh 3, I think that what Numbuh 4 is trying to say is pretty clear…don't you?" Mashi said. Wally was confused, what did that mean? Kuki frowned, what it meant to her, was that Wally had no clue what he was saying. He jumped in a pool to deep for him to swim in and know he was drowning without a lifejacket. She didn't like it when people could not speak up and say what they wanted to say. She was really pissed now.
"NUMBUH FOUR!" She cried. Wally gulped and looked at her.
"Well, I think I'm done here. I gotta go see Numbuh 5. Catch you later Wally." He said, eyeing Numbuh four. Numbuh four shot him and evil glare.
"Later gorgeous." He said to Kuki. He walked out of her room. When he was gone, Wally turned to Kuki and started talking.
"Kuki…er…Numbuh 3…now-now, let me explain…I…"
"No need to explain Numbuh four. Now I don't know what your problem is…but I think…."
"MY PROBLEM! MY PROBLEM IS MASHI! HE IS EVIL! He's got you wrapped around his finger, I'm only trying to protect you."
"I can look out for myself, thank you very much. And Mashi is really nice."
"He just lied to you! Why can't you see what I see!"
"Excuse me Numbuh 4, but it looks like you were doing over half of the lying just now!"
"No I wasn't!"
"Was too!"
"Was not!"
"Was too!"
"I don't know WHAT you're talking about." Kuki pointed to him. Tears welled up in her eyes.
"You're doing it again! You're doing it right now!"
"I AM NOT! YOU STUPID, CRUDDY GIRL! WHY WON'T YOU LISTEN TO ME!" Wally cried, throwing his hands up in the air. Kuki gasped. He called her a stupid…cruddy girl? She frowned and closed her eyes.
"Numbuh four…I think it'd be best if you GET OUT OF MY ROOM, NOW!" Wally realized what he said.
"Wait…Kuki, I mean Numbuh 3, I….didn't meant that they way it came out"
"YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN NUMBUH 4, SO JUST GET OUT OF MY ROOM…AND I MEAN NOW!"
"Numbuh 3, HEAR ME OUT! JUST LISTEN TO ME, WOULD YA!"
"GET OUT! OUT! OUT! OUT!"
"Wait Kooks, you don't understand…I…"
"I SAID GET OUT!" Kuki started throwing her stuffed animals at Numbuh four until he backed out of her room.
"Kuki! Ow! Hey! Wait a sec he's…!" Once Wally was out of her room, she slammed the door in his face. Wally growled.
"Wally's such a meanie." Kuki said softly. She was sitting with her back to the door.
"WHAT THE HECK'S WRONG WITH YOU! HUH! HE'S TURNING YOU AGAINST ME KUKI! DO YOU HEAR ME! HE'S TURNING YOU AGAINST ME!" Wally cried. Kuki sat there and heard Numbuh 4's words, but she couldn't believe him. She didn't want to believe him. Mashi was nice, really nice. She reached over and picked up her orange Rainbow Monkey that had been thrown on the ground. She stared at it. Why couldn't Wally be like Mashi? She hugged the Rainbow Monkey close to her heart. Wally sighed and placed his hand on her door. He ran his fingers over the huge, green Number 3 that was painted on her door.
"He's turning you against me." He said softly. He looked at the door angrily. Why was she so difficult?
"Ya really gonna just sit theah and let him think for you and destroy our friendship! You're smattah (smarter) than this Kuki! You know bettah! You know I'd nevah say anything ta hurt you!" Wally cried through the door. Kuki said nothing. She continued to hug her Rainbow Monkey. Wally frowned. He couldn't believe Kuki was this weak. There was about 2 minutes of complete silence. Wally frowned.
"So its like that eh?" He said softly. Kuki still didn't utter a word.
"Fine. Whatevah." He said. He shoved his hands in his pockets and walked off to his room to think things over. Mashi saw Kuki push Wally out of her room and snickered to himself.
"My work shouldn't be this fun." He said as he made his way to Numbuh 5's room to conduct more of his evil work.
Transmission Interrupted….
Hmm, it wasn't as short as I thought it would be. So, What do you think? I have no idea how Mashi is going to mess with Abby's head, but I'm sure I'll think of something. You know what to do, Read and Review, thank you!
A/N: The Orange Rainbow Monkey is a symbol…he represents…Numbuh 4 with his orange hoodie, but I think you all figured that out already, right? (wink)
