For hours, Hoagie had looked for ways to try to eradicate the chip, but as of now, still to now avail. Everyone had been crowded around her, Wally continuously looking from Kuki to Sydney.

Wally shook his head. "Hey guys, I'm gonna go for a walk," He stated.

He didn't wait for anyone's response; he just left, grabbing something out of his drawer before doing so.

He walked down the sidewalk, predictably daydreaming as he did so. It had been rather late, and the sun was setting, painting the sky with striking shades of orange and red.

He let out a sigh, keeping one of his hands in his pocket, his fingers wrapped around the item he'd pulled out of the drawer.

He wondered what it would be like if he had been able to take Kuki where he'd planned to take her that dreaded night. He banished the thought from his mind and continued walking to not even he knew where.

Wally felt something cold fall onto his nose, then the same feeling on his arm. He then realized it had been raining and decided to head back.

He still had his gaze averted to the ground, but then saw a pair of shoes that didn't belong to him. He looked up and his eyes met a pair of amethyst ones. A broken smile spread across his lips, but she didn't react.

He grabbed her hand. "Listen Kuki I-"

Mushi then ran up beside her, a smile spread across her face. Kuki pulled her hand away and grabbed Mushi's. "I have to go..." She murmured, pushing past him.

His expression saddened as he watched her leave, the rain now pouring harder, leaving his hair to stick to him. He'd stared at her well after she'd been out of sight, then shook his head and turned back around to finish the rest of his journey home.

Once he'd gotten back into his room he stared at everyone. "I take it you couldn't take it out?"

Everyone shot him a sympathetic look. "I really tried. I'm gonna try something tomorrow morning; she just wanted to get home..." Hoagie tried.

"Whatever..." He murmured.

Nigel looked to the side, "I think we should go..." He then stood up from the bed, followed by Hoagie and Abby.

"I'm really sorry..." The door then shut behind them, leaving him and Sydney alone.

She sat timidly on the bed, knowing he was angry with her, since it was she who had done it in the first place. She sat in silence, waiting for him to say something, whether it be good or bad.

"Why'd you do it...why did you make her hate me so much..." He queried, not looking up at her.

She inhaled a ragged breath, "It...wasn't completely my fault..." She fought. " What do you care anyway? It's not like she's your girlfriend anymore, I am!" Tears filled her turquoise eyes.

Wally narrowed his eyes slightly, looking over at her, "That doesn't make it okay for you to do something like that!" He shot.

The tears in her eyes now freely flowed down her cheeks. "Wally! Look around! There's not one picture of me anywhere! I don't even wanna take the time to sit here and count all of the ones wit Kuki in them!" She sobbed lightly and wiped her eyes with the palm of her hand.

"You're obsessed with this girl! And if I sat here and died right now you'd have practically nothing to remember me by! In fact, for all I know you wouldn't even notice!"

Wally sat down beside her on the bed placing a hand on her shoulder, "Sydney I..."

"You what!?" She then sobbed some more, her nose red, and her eyes puffy from her having cried so much.

"I love her..."

She stared at him for a moment and nodded, "I know that...and I had hoped you loved me too..." She then stood up. "I'm gonna go now..."

He nodded and looked away.

"Goodbye Wally..." The sound of a shutting door was then heard.

The sound of thunder filled the room, and he then shut the second layer he had on his window, and then closed the curtain as the rain fell down.

He growled some and pulled on his hair, then flung his bedroom door open, and walked into his backyard; sitting on the swing set belonging to Koala.

He didn't know how long he'd been sitting there, seconds or hours, he just knew he was there.

He looked up at the endless night sky as the cold rain continued to pour. He closed his eyes and let out a sigh.

He felt something around his neck, and looked down recognizing it as a pair of hands.

They hadn't been trying to hurt him; they'd been gentle, and un-harming. A smile spread across his lips and he turned around looking up at Kuki's face. She looked beautiful to him, even if she'd been soaking wet; ebony hair clinging to the sides of her face.

"Hi,"

"Hello..."

He stood up and walked around the other side of the swing set, so that he'd been standing in front of her.

"Listen Kuki...I didn't mean to leave you, it was wrong and-"

She'd cut him off by placing a finger to his lips. "Hold me..." She stated, in a voice that sounded almost sad.

He threw his arms around her waist, not caring if it had been a trick, so that she could snap his neck, he just missed touching her, even if she had been soaking wet.

She smiled and returned the embrace by encircling her arms around his neck.

"Why?"

"Why what?"

"Why aren't you trying to hurt me?"

She pulled back slightly. "I don't like causing you pain..."

He decided to stop asking questions and just go with it, afraid to mess something up again.

She hugged him once more, "I missed you..."
