This chapter is where...um...my fic starts to go downhill. I was so totally confused as to why Cree wanted Kuki, and then every time a new episode came out, I had to change it...I got tired and just left it how it was. Oh, and I realized that Wally actually made an appearance last chapter, but it was so short it didn't count. XD And nooow...My wonderful reviewers...get answers to their reviews o.O:; XD :
fanfic-reader01: She may be evil now...But when she meets Hoagie again...Well, who knows? XD Anyway, hope you like the chapter!!
Blue-Fire310: I know!! Maybe I'll write a purely 2/5 fic, just for you, when S.E.A.R.C.H. is over. XD That forum looks pretty interesting!! I'd join but...I'm too shy XD
jasikaermine: It's lots of fun to write!! I hope you like this chapter.
SailorSaturnthesilencer: Of course I don't mind!! Thanks a lot!! Well, here's the next chapter!! Enjoy! XD
And Heeere's Chapter FOUR!! Get ready for an extremely short appearance by the stupidest and shortest member of the KND!!
Chapter Four:
That day Kuki felt like she was in the clouds. She skipped around and laughed the entire day, even when someone annoyed her or was mean. She was in the middle of the Rainbow Monkey song when she first saw Hoagie.
"Rainbow Monkies, Rainbow Monkies, oh-so-very-round, and super chunky! Bringing love wherever they go..."
"Uh...Kuki?"
"HEEEY, HOOOOAGIE!!!" she giggled, giving him a hug. "I'm SOOOO happy!"
"That's...great. I just talked to Wally. He can come, but not until eight."
"That's fiiiine!! As long as he comes, he can come at two in the morning!"
"Um...Alright...See ya..."
Kuki spent hours after school looking for what to wear. She had discarded her usual green sweater and black pants, only to put them back on again.
"MUUUUUSHI!" she called.
Mushi walked in. "Yes, sis?" she asked in an overly sweet voice.
"What should I wear?"
"On what...Your DATE?"
"I...MUSHI! It is NOT a date!"
Mushi grinned. "Whatever...How about that dress you wore to your DATE with your boyfriend when you were 10?"
"WHAT? I went on a date!?!"
"Yep! These kids were having a party and you went with your BOYFRIEND and you were DANCING and HOLDING HANDS..."
Kuki could NOT believe she did that with Hoagie. "Well, which dress?"
"Your white and pink one."
"Why, that's...Oh, I forgot! I'm going to the ice-cream factory afterwards, so..."
"How about your green sweater and black pants? You wore them at many other dates, like when..."
Kuki groaned and pushed Mushi out of the room. "It's 6:50...I have just enough time to walk to Lizzie's house..."
So off she went. Lizzie's mom answered the door and showed her to Lizzie's room.
"Oh my god, Lizzie!" she gasped when she walked in. "You have the new collector's edition Rainbow Monkey!?!"
Lizzie grinned. "Yep. Nigey gave it to me!" Nigel looked away. Kuki noticed he was a bit red.
Lizzie and Nigel were sitting on the bed, while Hoagie and Abby were sitting on the floor in front of the TV.
"Hey, Kuki!" Abby called. "Sit down!"
Kuki smiled and sat next to Abby. "Wallabee isn't here yet?"
"I told you, Kuki, he won't be here for another hour!" Hoagie said, not taking his eyes off the TV.
"Oh...right..." The space next to her looked so lonely...
"Well, anyway!" Abby stood up. "Abby thinks we oughta get back to business! Let's see...All of us, with an exception of Lizzie, lost our memories when we turned thirteen. Lizzie says we were decommisioned. We have further proof from Kuki's diary, which shows that her and Hoagie had a thing going on....It also shows that we were part of a special group, which, if Lizzie is correct, is called the Kids Next Door...Anything else?"
Kuki grinned at Abby. "PILLOW FIGHT!"
So they spent time giggling, gossipping, and playing games. Kuki had so much fun because it felt so natural...Except there was something missing.
Surpressing a giggle, Nigel said, "This has been fun, but it's 7:45 and we REALLY..."
Kuki stopped hitting Hoagie with a pillow. "7:45!? Oh my god! I've gotta go! I'll come back later! Bye!"
Abby arched her eyebrow. "Wow...What was THAT about?"
Lizzie shrugged and smiled. "Who wants DESSERT?"
By the time Kuki reached the factory, it was 8:00. Confused, she walked around. "Um...Cree? Hello? Are you here?"
Nothing...Maybe she'd heared Cree wrong. Could she have said the ice-cream PARLOR?
She wandered through a random door and found herself in the ice-cream room.
"Why, hello Kuki!" The lights turned on. It was Cree, standing in front of a huge machine.
"Oh, hi Cree...I...I'm sorry I'm so late, I got side-tracked and..."
"Don't worry 'bout it...We've been waiting so long, another 30 minutes didn't hurt..."
"What?"
Cree ignored her. "You know, there's a big part of the brain we humans do not use. Father had heard that one of the top operatives was kicked out early because she had not erased one unit's memories, she had merely forced them to that part of the brain. Then, when I heard that you had just been decommisioned, I realized that it was your unit that she had cheated on." she pointed to the machine. "This machine will restore those memories back."
"O...k...What do I do?"
Cree led her to a little table. Kuki lied down on it, and Cree strapped her up.
"What are you doing?" Kuki asked, mortified.
"Well...We wouldn't want you to move..." she smiled deviousily. "The machine doesn't work quite the same on different parts of the body..." she pressed a button and Kuki was lifted up. A beam hit her head, and her screams echoed in the room.
Wally came right after they finished dessert. After introductions were made (more for Nigel's benefit than anyone elses), they sat down and went back to talking.
Hoagie held up Kuki's diary, which she had left behind in her rush. "And this is the main source of our information." he said, handing the diary to Wally.
Wally studied the name on the cover. "And where's she? She organized this cruddy event and she doesn't bother to show up?"
"Hey, watch your mouth," Abby growled. "I bet you can't even SPELL organized!"
"I can SO! O-H-J-A-N-I-S-E-T!" he crossed his arms and stuck his tounge at Abby, who rolled her eyes.
"Whatever, shorty...Kuki ran off when she realized it was almost eight...She probably didn't wanna meet YOU."
Hoagie frowned. "That's really wierd, though...She was so excited to meet Wally."
"Abby was joking, idiot!"
"Oh...But then...Why would she leave?"
Nigel stood up and grabbed Lizzie's hands. "You said we fought against teenagers and adults, right?"
"Yes, Nigey..." said Lizzie, totally confused.
"Wait! You ain't saying Kuki got kidnapped by some enemy of the KND?" Abby asked, at which Nigel nodded. "But we SAW her walk out of here with her own free will!"
She threw her hands up. "GREAT! Well...How we gonna find out what happened?"
Hoagie shrugged. "Go to her house?"
"Hoagie, you are BRILLIANT!"He started blushing. "Really?"
"Nope. For starters, do you even KNOW her address?"
Hoagie decided he might as well try again. "Um...The yellow pages are over there!"
Kuki felt like her head was splitting in two. There were images popping in her head...She saw Abby, Hoagie, Nigel, Lizzie...And the boy she had seen flirting with Abby...Apparently that was Wallabee. She couldn't sort them out, they were just floating around...There were some she was very curious about, like her in a wedding dress-Was that her sister's boyfriend?-and her hugging that Wally in an odd costume...Her dancing with Wally, plus some other images of her with the other members, but mostly him. She seemed to be close to him, besides what Lizzie said...Lizzie HAD been wrong about Abby, they got along fine...But then her head started to feel like it had been stabbed with a knife, and she forgot her thoughts.
"How are you doing, Kuki?" called Cree. "You're at the best part! All those images will become memories-And once they do, all your memories will transfer to OUR computer, leaving you with no memory what-so-ever. Curious what happens next? Well, the computer sorts out what we need and what we don't and what we don't will be changed into new memories, which will re-enter you and make you think you have always worked for us and were always against the KND!"
The pain was lessening...And Kuki suddenly remembered everything. "Why, Cree?" she cried. "I'm a teenager now! Aren't you supposed to work WITH me?"
"Sorry to burst your bubble, dear!"
Kuki tried to answer, but could only get a couple letters out before she started screaming.
"Now the computer is sucking your memories out! Soon, Kuki, you will be a mere doll!"
Poor Kuki, she won't remember her love for Wally. And no, this is not going to be Wally/Abby. Bleh...I just wanted Kuki to be jealous...But now I guess it won't be necessary. XD Well, keep those couples coming in!! Oh, and I know there were some hints in this chapter...But nothing's final!! These are the counts so far, basically because I was bored and had nothing better to do:
Abby/Hoagie 5
Abby/Nigel 6
Nigel/Lizzie 2
Hoagie/Cree 2
Well, I guess either way Abby's gonna get a boyfriend! Remember, the next chapter is the last chance to vote. Oh, and if Abby/Hoagie DO win, I'm gonna do it Nigel/Lizzie anyway XD Anyway, I would've uploaded this fic earlier, but, as you know, ff was acting up. ==
