I'm SOOOOO sorry for the delay. I haven't been home, therefore not able to
write anymore of the story. I'll try and go on a writing spree and get the
next few chapters to you as soon as I can.

Wally trekked down the sidewalk, fuming; his hands shoved in his pockets. He'd been deep in thought about the events that had recently occurred. After about 10 minutes had passed, he stopped in front of his destination.
Sydney's house.
He sat there and stared at it for awhile, then shook his head and rang the doorbell. He stood there, arms now crossed as he awaited the answer. When he received no reply, he turned on his heel and began to walk away. He had then heard the door creak open, and a smiling girl peaking through.
"Hi Wally!" She grinned. "I wasn't...expecting you..." She tilted her head.
He then turned back around and stared at her. "Kuki..."
"Wh-what?" She bit her lower lip.
He grabbed the straps of her rose colored shirt and pulled them towards him. "Kuki! What did you do to Kuki!?" He screamed.
"I- I don't kn-"
"Don't play dumb with me Sydney!" He then clenched his fists tighter around her shirt.
She looked to the ground, letting out a sigh. "Come on in...I'll tell you everything..."
343434343434343434343434343434
Kuki stirred, her amethyst eyes slowly opening as she heard the clicking of typing keys.
"It worked!" Came a voice.
"Of course it did."
She looked over and saw her old friends Nigel, Hoagie, and Abby. A slight smile spread across her lips as she saw them. "Hello."
"Hey Kuki," Said Nigel with a smirk. He'd connected her to a medical computer he'd invented, trying to figure out what had really been wrong with her. He leaned slightly forward, quickly pulling the syringe connecter out of her arm.
She looked at it inquiringly, but decided against asking questions.
Hoagie shook his head and let out a sigh. "I'll wait until Wally gets back to tell you guys what's up with her."
Kuki stared at him, wondering eyes clouded with confusion.

Wally followed Sydney to her room, taking deep breaths, trying to calm himself down.
She looked around in a paranoid fashion, swiftly shutting the door behind the two of them.
"Sydney, what's going on?" He then crossed his arms and let out an aggravated sigh.
She pulled him onto her small circular rug and pushed a miniscule, triangular button on one of her many bracelets, and the floor beneath their feet instantly vanished.
Sydney landed on her feet, catching Wally in her arms. He arched an eyebrow, and she set him down.
He looked around at his surroundings and was in awe. It looked something like a laboratory, different machines scattered around the area.
He looked back to Sydney and smirked. "No offence Sydney, but you never stuck me as a genius."
She sighed and looked to the ground, and he put his hand on her shoulder. "Now please, I need to know what's going on."
She let out a sigh. "I...won't tell you his name...but he was the one who actually built this..." She looked to the side. "He...created these mechanical chips that can artificially enhance certain emotions, or feelings towards someone. Whatever is going on with the person it is attached too."
Wally stared at her, eyes slightly narrowing. "Keep going,"
She lifted her unbelievably blonde ponytail, and turned around, showing him the back of her neck; and, inevitably the small square chip on her neck.
"Where are you going with this?" Wally inquired, wide-eyed, running his finger over the chip.
"Kuki...even before I met her...made me so jealous...you have scattered pictures of her all over your room...and the only one of me you have you keep in your wallet..." She inhaled a ragged breath.
"And so when I met...him...he somehow knew who Kuki was. And when I saw move across the street from me I...told him about it." She shrugged.
"He seemed trustworthy, but that's when he used me without my permission as a guinea pig for his emotion enhancers." She bit her lower lip.
Wally slowly nodded, seeing where she was going with this. He looked to the ground. "And he put one on Kuki..."
She took his hand and gently squeezed it. "Actually...I did..."
His eyes widened, and he looked up at her.
"But it wasn't my fault!" She protested.
He growled somewhat and let go of her hand. "Yeah I know..." He looked to the side. "Let's go..."
The two of them then began to walk back to Wally's house.
3434343434343434343434343434
Kuki sat up, slightly tired of the long awkward silences. She then flinched, and rubbed the back of her neck, then instantly pulled back, screaming lightly.
Abby then sat down beside her, and Nigel beside her. Abby patted the top of Kuki's head. "What's wrong?"
"N-nothing..." She shook her head and lightly exhaled.
There was a gently knock on the door and the four of them looked at each other. "Come in," They said in unison.
Mushi had been at the door and she smiled some, having heard the entire commotion. She walked up to Kuki and wrapped her arms around her. "Kuki...don't be mad at Wally...please?..."
Kuki stared blankly at Mushi, then looked away.
The door was then flung open Wally and Sydney being there.
"Fi-na-lly!" Came the voice of Abby.
Hoagie looked up at him, then to Kuki.
Kuki bit her lip, wanting badly to charge at Wally, but now being held back by Nigel and Abby, and Mushi sitting in her lap.
Hoagie pointed to the screen of the laptop. "I'm sure you'll be glad to know that Kuki doesn't hate you."
Sydney cleared her throat. "Actually, she has an emotion enhancer. And before I placed it on her...I..." She thought a moment. "I suppose you could say "brainwashed" her... into thinking that she hated Wally. The car accident giving her a not so good memory about him. Especially since it had been her last one with him..."
She looked to the side. "By the way, could you please take this off?" She inquired to everyone, pointing to the enhancer on her neck.
Wally stepped up and seemingly ripped if off, throwing it into the garbage can by his feet. "Couldn't you just have done that?" He arched an eyebrow.
"No, once it is placed on you, it takes a DNA sample, and makes it so that the owner of it can't touch it."
Mushi, who had been glaring at Sydney, ready to rip her head off had somewhat calmed down. "So we can just take the one off of my sister?"
Sydney shrugged. "I don't see why not." She smiled some.
Kuki blinked a few times and lifted her mane of raven hair to reveal nothing but the flesh on her neck.
Sydney arched an eyebrow. "But I-"She thought for a moment. "Has she come in contact with any unpurified water?"
Wally looked to the side, "Like chlorine water?" He stated in a slightly frightened tone.
She nodded.
He gulped some, "Yeah...why?"
Sydney's turquoise eyes widened. "Once placed on the body, the chip eventually melds with the brain- quite literally. But if it comes in contact with contaminated water, it drastically speeds the process up."
The group looked at one another, except Kuki who looked somewhat frightened, and was burying her head in her hands.
Hoagie looked to his medical laptop, "I could try and remove it surgically..."
"That might work," Came Sydney's reply, with a smile.
