Sorry once again for the delay, I've been really busy lately!

"And he took this metal enhancer out of me, it was really strange," Stated Kuki, taking a sip of her hot chocolate.

Wally took off his wet shirt and threw it on the ground beside the bathroom door, then shut his bedroom door while walking into the bathroom. "Who is 'he'?" He queried from inside the bathroom. He then came out drying his hair with a towel and sitting beside her on the bed.

"His name is Derek, you'll remember him if you see him," She smiled, fingering one of the dissolving marshmallows basking on the top of the cocoa; then licking her finger.

"Ah," He arched an eyebrow then walked back into the bathroom, throwing the towel on the ground and sitting beside her once more. "So are you staying over tonight?" He inquired, pulling up the blanket she'd been huddled in a little more so she wouldn't got sick.

"Sure, my mom knows I'm here, and she and your mom are good friends, so I'm sure she won't mind at all," She stared at her muddy reflection in the hot chocolate. "So, you and Sydney are close aren't you..." She sighed lightly.

He shook his head, "We had are differences Kuki...so we went our separate ways,"

A smile then spread across her lips, "Really?" She queried, not trying to sound too enthusiastic.

"Yeah," he put his arm around her for a moment then stood up and threw her one of his shirts.

He'd grown somewhat since they had been in the KND, and was now slightly taller than Kuki. The shirt he'd given her was big enough for her to just sleep in. He then got out a T-shirt of his own, then pulled off his wet jeans, revealing his boxer shorts.

She tried not to stare, but somewhat couldn't help herself, and ended up looking through the corner of her eyes.

He left the jeans on the ground, and placed on his shirt and smiled. "You can sleep on my bed, I'll go get the comforter and extra pillow, and I'll sleep on the floor,"

"No no no! That's okay, I can sleep on the floor." She protested.

"Sorry Kuks, but that's not happening," He smiled and left his room.

She took this time to her benefit and decided she would change. She set her hot cocoa on the night stand beside the bed, and quickly changed.

By the time he returned, she'd started folding her clothes and setting them neatly on the ground beside the bed. "Are you sure about this?"

"Perfectly," He smiled, "See? I even got my cluster puff," He unrolled the comforter onto the ground and neatly placed the extra pillows at the foot of it.

"Alright," She let out a somewhat aggravated sigh and laid back on the bed, getting herself under the covers. She stared at the ceiling and smiled, seemingly deep in thought.

Wally was about to lay back, but then noticed something he'd left. He then reached into the pocket of the jeans he'd left on the floor and grabbed the small item he'd had, then shoved it into the top drawer of the nightstand overhead. He finally did lay back onto his feathery pillow, putting his hands behind his head.

"Tell me," Stated Kuki.

Wally blinked in confusion, "Tell you what?"

"Tell me...where you were going to take me the night of the accident," Her smile grew wider and she looked down at him from the height of the bed.

"Oh," He blushed slightly despite his familiarity with Kuki. "I was gonna take you to the-"He was then cut off by a sort of tap at the window and he sat up, as did Kuki.

"Ah, crud, just what I need, both windows broken," He muttered walking over to it.

Kuki looked to the side, slightly upset with what she'd done earlier.

He flung open the blinds and stared out the window, seeing a small figure on his back lawn. He opened the window. "What the heck do you want?" He shouted.

"Kuki, give her to me!" He shouted.

She got up and blinked, walking beside him. "Huh?" She squinted her violet eyes. "That looks like it could be Derek,"

Wally stared at her for a second then looked back down at "him". "Why should I?" He spat.

"If you're not gonna give her to me, I'll take her by force!"

"I'd like to see you try!"

"Your loss!" He pushed a button on his boot and levitated up to the height of the window. They had been somewhat like the ones Nigel had used back in the kids next door.

Wally jumped back, "Derek is numbuh 30C!?" Inquired Wally.

"Oh yeah, right! That's where you know him from!" Grinned Kuki.

"Very good," Sarcastically stated Derek.

Before Wally knew it, a strange metal claw-like machine grabbed Kuki. Kuki gasped somewhat, not wanting to worry anybody by screaming.

"Leave her alone!" Shouted Wally.

"Not a chance, Hasta la vista, Wally!" He then started laughing.

Wally just watched as they left, not being able to do much. He watched as Kuki struggled to break free. His eyes narrowed and he gritted his teeth, clenching his fists.

He ran down the stairs and out the door, chasing them as best he could. "Don't worry Kuki, I won't let him do anything to you," He vowed.
