Disclaimer: I don't' own Codename: KND. I'm pretty sure an idea like this has probably been done… or something like that but does it matter right now? Didn't think so! And yeah I'd hate to say it but it won't be as humorous as it sounds but I'm not one to be too serious so stick around some humor will show up.

Operation 9: I missed ya Kuks…

"So…" Wally sat up on the roof of the cafeteria with her.

"So…" She repeated softly. "I heard about Jenna… What was up with her?"

"You heard about Jenna? Have you and Mooshie been keeping tabs on me?!?!" He asked making her chuckle softly.

"Yes, Hoagie keeps me up to date on everyone and everything…" Kuki sighed and raised her hand to plop it on his thigh making him shift uncomfortably. "So tell me what attracted you to her in the first place."

"To be honest… I don't know."

"Well, she sounded like an airhead…" Kuki said grinning. "Especially if she couldn't hold o n to the best guy I know in the entire world. Trust me I've been across the globe I know…"

"Thanks…" He muttered and then there was silence. Wally sighed and stood up kneeling behind her to hug her. "I've missed you Kuks…" He whispered in her ear. "What happened to you all this time??"

"So much…" She whispered leaning against him. 'Could I tell him the whole story? Yes. He's my best friend.'

"Kuks, are you okay??"

 "After my mother and I left she had been going to the chemo therapy for the cancer. It seemed to work for a bit. She no longer felt the pain of the cancer but her heart was another matter."

"Oh…" He said softly.

"After losing her everything seemed so wrong. Media plays out that love reigns over all things… but love broke my mother… and it's not fair." She sniffled proving she was now crying. "He expects me to like Amadahy… when it was her fault that she gave up hope."

"Well…" He paused not knowing what to say. Sure he expected her to have an emotional lapse with him today. He just knew it would all just gush out somehow and yet he still wasn't prepared.

"It was after losing her did I realize not everything was full of candy, fluffy stuffed animals and sunshine." She sighed. "It had been the harshest thing I ever had to deal with. Having my happiness and ignorance torn from me like that was worst than being separated from my true friends." She paused. "You know he even brought her to the funeral… She had the audacity to tell me she was sorry and knew how I felt."

"Maybe she did?" Wally asked and she tore from his grasp.

"How could she?!?! If she knew how I felt she wouldn't have been involved with a married man!!!" She yelled. "She knew my father was married. We first met her at a dinner party shortly before we found out about the affair. Even if she did know she didn't care one bit!! The woman was selfish."

"But it takes two to make it an affair, Kuki."

"I know that!!" She screamed at him. "I don't even speak to my father. I refuse to." She sighed. "He didn't even think about Mooshie and me. He didn't care that he was tearing me from my little sister." She sighed softly.

"So he ruined your life… It could have been stress Kuki. You know, your mom was sick. He couldn't deal with the thought of losing her like that… so he got scared and went looking for a release anyway possible." Wally blinked when she looked at him. "I've really got to stop watching Dr. Phil."  She cracked a small smile but that quickly faded.

"But you don't understand Wally… Everything happened so fast that when it was over it was like running salt, lemon juice, and soap into a deep wound then sewing it shut." She sighed. "I'm becoming redundant." She said softly.

"I know you were hurt. That much is obvious when you became the all pro fighter you are." He touched her shoulder. "But you can't change the past, and you should move towards the future that could be as bright and happy like your past had once been. Keeping on the path you are is a path to self destruction. You don't want to die before your time. You could miss out on a lot. Your wedding day, any future children you may have, the friends you'll make, and the career choice you'll make." He frowned. "None of this is making sense to you is it?"

"Not really…"

"Oh…"

"All I know is the pain is immense pain. It's like it might not ever go away. So much was taken from me. Lost opportunities to remaining ignorant until it counted, especially missing the chance to watch Nigel break up with Lizzie for good. I could never stand that girl." She said and Wally couldn't help but laugh.

"Neither could I…" He agreed. "Remember when she first showed up and because of our teasing she gave Nigel that stupid helmet?"

"Yeah and she made Nigel turn on us and he left up hanging in the restaurant."

"Or how about this one?" He held out the picture she had recently given him with the party the Delightful children had thrown and everyone had paired up leaving Nigel to call Lizzie.

"Yeah…" Her tone was soft as if still contemplating the whole situation. "C-can you still dance like that?"

"O'course I can! The question is… can you??"

"I can…"

"Prove it…"

"Huh?"

"Ya heard me Kuki Sanbag! Prove it… right now."

"Fine… come with me…" She went to one edge of the building and climbed down the ladder on the side.

"Are you okay Amadahy??" Mooshie asked the red haired woman.

"Yeah... fine." The woman said from the doorway to the roof.

"Kuki didn't get to know you like I did…" Mooshie said looking at the hurt in the woman's face.

"But…" Amadahy said.

"Amadahy…"

"It's true. I didn't know in the beginning but after I didn't think about whose life I was wrecking or anything…"

"When you found out they were already divorcing…"

"Yes, but… I ruined her life."

"But you didn't know. Kuki just needs time with the people who knew and know her best."

"Okay, let's try this again from the top?" Kuki asked. "But this time no toe stepping and with the music?"

"Yeah, yeah… let's just get on with it." He said watching her walk across her bedroom to turn on the radio.

She rushed back to his side just before the music started. He grabbed her hand and they stepped together. She jumped and he caught her before he flipped over her head. They then began to spin simultaneously unfortunately the wrong way on both ends and they tripped over each other. They looked at each other kind of in shock that they tripped before laughing. He stood up first holding his hand out to help her. She just sat there with her hair tousled all over. Part over her shoulder the rest gathering a little on the floor. Her head thrown back in fits of giggles and her face slightly flush from their little "workout".

Suddenly at that very moment she looked incredibly cute. In the back of his mind images of her in the shower prodded at him, immediately he pounced on the feelings trying to get rid of the thought creeping itself into his mind. But it had been too late. Teenage hormones had leaked the perverted thought in his mind.

"I haven't laughed like that for a long time." She said taking his hand. He pulled up to pull her and she collided with his body.

"I'm glad…" He whispered lowering his gaze to her face before settling on her lips. Somewhere in his mind he had always hoped she'd be his first kiss but things didn't work out that way.

"Guess what?" She whispered.

"What?"

"I'm going to go back when summer vacation starts. It might not be long since the whole college thing but at least we get a few unsupervised weeks together."

"Uh-huh…" He said eyeing the rest of her face. It was amazing how cute she had grown up to be, cuter than he remembered. "What could be the worst thing that I could do to lose your friendship?" The question was random and caught her off guard.

"I don't know… Marry that girl Jenna??" She joked looking at him. Somehow she managed to still be slightly taller than him but not much at all. "Why do you ask?"

"Good. Cuz I just know I'm going to do something incredibly stupid right now." He said licking his lips.

"Huh??" Her childish ignorance was obviously one trait that never completely vanished. "What are you talking about Wal-?" Her question was cut short by him pressing his own lips against hers.
