Girls Are Such A Drag

Chapter 4: Secrets Revealed?
The next morning, Wally woke up around the middle of the afternoon to the ringing of the homes doorbell. Wally's father was at work as usual. Wally got up and shuffled to the door in his blue pajamas. He opened the constantly ringing doorbell.
"Kuki!" He yelled.
"Hi Wally!" Kuki said, waving frantically. "I brought my Game Cube games over so we could maybe play." She said, holding up 2 games.
"Uh.... Could you hold on a second?" Wally squeaked, feeling incredibly embarrassed in his pajamas.
"Sure!" She replied. Wally hid behind the door as he let her in. He slammed the door and raced upstairs to change.
Kuki swung her legs as she waited on the couch. She looked at her clothes. She had long ago switched from tights to leggings on her mother's wishes since she starting quote: 'blossoming'. She tugged at the bottom of her sweater. Wally rushed back downstairs in his orange hoodie and jeans.
"Sorry 'bout that." Wally said.
"It's okay." Kuki said.
"Soo... Uh, what did you want to play?"
"I brought Teenage Rainbow Monkey Smashdown." She said, holding up the game.
"Great." Wally said. They sat down on the couch.
"So are you going tonight?" Kuki asked as the game loaded up.
"Going where?" He asked.
"The Point, silly!" Kuki said, elbowing him gently. Wally went red.
"The Point? You mean the roller rink on the hill?" Wally said.
"Yeah. For some reason it seems oddly familiar.... Oh well. Anyways, I thought that's what Abby told you in the kitchen yesterday." Kuki explained. Wally went redder.
"Uhh... Yeah. I--- I just forgot." He replied.
"So are you in?" She asked.
"Are you?" Wally questioned, as they picked their characters.
"Well... I guess so." Kuki said, swinging her legs again. Wally stared at her as she stared at the ground.
"W.... wuh.... Wuhhhh.... Would..... would you want t-t-t-t-to go with m-m-m-m-me?" Wally forced himself to ask.
"Really?" Kuki said, her eyes glowing like never before.
"Well... If you like, want to." Wally said, staring at his feet.
"I'd like that." Kuki answered, smiling.
"Great." Wally said. Kuki pressed start on the game and began to attack Wally's green Rainbow Monkey.
"'Ey!" He yelled. Kuki giggled.
Later that evening, Kuki modeled in front of the full-length mirror in her room. She turned to the right, and then to the left.
"Hi Wally!" She chirped to the mirror. She paused and shook her head.
"Hey Wally. How's it going Wally? What's up Wally?" She practiced in the mirror. She sighed happily as she looked at her reflection. She had put on black tights, a black skirt, and a green tee shirt. Close to her original outfit, but cool enough to wear to The Point. She skipped downstairs.
"Hi Mushi!" Kuki said to her sister, who was in the kitchen, scrounging around in the fridge.
"Ooooh. Uh, Hi Kuki!" Mushi said.
"What's that?" Kuki asked, pointing to what looked like a fierce bubblegum dispenser.
"Ummm... Nothing!" Mushi said quickly, hiding it behind her back.
"Where have you been lately?" Kuki asked, looking out the window.
"No where." Mushi mumbled.
"Well... If you say so." Kuki said, not believing a word of it.
"Bye!" Mushi said, running out the door.
Kuki continued to wait for Wally. She was basically pressed up against the window of the door. She began to get worried and starting checking her watch every 30 seconds. Finally, she saw Wally walking down the street towards her house.
"Eeep!" She squeaked. She immediately ran away from the door. She waited in the kitchen anxiously for the doorbell.
Ding Dong
"Coming!" Kuki chirped. She ran to the door and flung it open. Wally's mouth dropped open.
"Uhhh... Uh... Um... You ready?" Wally asked. Kuki nodded. She stepped out of the house and closed the door behind her. As they walked down the street, Kuki noticed how much Wally had grown. She used to be one of the tallest whenever they hung out. But now he towered over her by 4 inches.
"Look! There's Abby and Hoagie and Nigel and..."
"Lizzie?" Wally and Kuki cried out at the same time.
"Hi guys!" Lizzie chirped, swinging off Nigel's arm. Nigel was almost being pulled down to the ground. Abby was looking away. Hoagie was holding a pair of old roller shoes.
"Uh.. Hi Lizzie." Wally said.
"Hi Lizzie." Kuki said, non-enthusiastically.
"Come on guys, now that we're all here, lets go!" Lizzie yanked on Nigel's arm and pulled him down the street.
"Here we are!" Lizzie said. "Come one Nigie! We don't want to miss the couples skate!" As they entered the point, the burly guys at the door stopped them.
"May I see some I.D.?" He asked.
"Um..." They all replied. The burly guy frowned.
"You 5 look oddly familiar." He nodded his head towards the bulletin board near the door. A faded poster showed 5 faces and being labeled as 'Banned from Kids Night'.
"Are those us?" Nigel whispered to Hoagie.
"I don't think so. We've never been here before."
"I have I.D.!" Kuki suddenly sang out. She whipped out a bent laminated card from her purse.
"Hmmm..." The burly guy said, looking at her I.D., then at the poster, then at Kuki.
"You say you've never been here before?"
"Yes." Everyone said.
"All right then. Skate rentals are to your right." Kuki skipped ahead. Lizzie and the others followed.
"Where did you get that I.D. from?" Abby asked.
"I dunno. Maybe the library?" She showed them her card.
"Official KND I.D. Card. Numbuh:3." Everyone read.
"Whats that mean?" Hoagie asked.
"I dunno." They all stood staring at the card. Lizzie ran over to them with bright pink skates in her arms.
"Come on Nigie! Lets get your skates!" Kuki put the card back in her purse.
"Let's go Wally. We can skate for a while and then get snacks." Kuki pointed out the snack bar in the back of the rink.
After getting their skates, they went out onto the rink.
"Whoa!" Wally said, immediately falling down. Kuki giggled. Wally grasped the railing above him and hoisted himself up.
"All right you lovebirds." The DJ said over the microphone. The lights dimmed and a disco ball lowered itself above the rink floor. "Get ready for the couples only skate." Slow music began playing.
"Ooooooooh! Just in time Nigie!" Lizzie said, pulling Nigel onto the rink. Kuki slowly skated towards the rink's exit.
"Where are you goin'?" Wally found himself asking.
"It's couples skate." Kuki said, pointing at the lit up sign displaying 'Couples only'.
"Oh.. Well... I thought... We 'ad um... Come here as a um... couple." Wally muttered.
"Well... We kinda did." Kuki said, turning back around. Wally began to skate around the rink, Kuki by his side. They joined the circling couples, including a frazzled Nigel and a glowing Lizzie. Abby slouched on a bench next to Hoagie. As they skated along, Wally very wobbly, Kuki reached her hand out and grabbed Wally's. Wally looked at her.
"To... help steady you." Kuki lied, blushing.
"Thanks." Wally said.
They passed a lonely looking Hoagie. Hoagie stared around, hoping a girl would ask him to skate. He paused, seeing a blonde haired girl sitting on the bench to his right. She was wearing a white dress, had a pink bow in her hair, and was blowing bubbles with her gum. The girl slowly turned her head and looked at him. She had eerie blue eyes. She suddenly smiled at Hoagie. Hoagie blushed and looked away. The girl stood up and walked over to him.
"Well well well. What a surprise to see you here, Hoagie P. Gilligan Jr." Said the girl.
"Um... You know me?" Hoagie asked the girl. The girl smiled.
"Of course. But you don't remember me." She winked at Hoagie and walked away.
Back on the rink, Kuki and Wally passed saw Lizzie and Nigel skating off the rink.
"Wonder what's wrong." Kuki said as it seemed Lizzie was upset and Nigel was angry. The couples skate seemed to be ending.
"Kuki... I--- I um... Wanted to ask you... something.... I think." Wally said.
"Yes?" Kuki asked.
"Well... I um.... I...... I li----" Wally then panicked.
"I'd like some snacks. You want to go?" Wally said instead.
"Okay." Kuki said, they then switched to their sneakers and went to the snack bar.
"What do you want?" Wally asked her as they stared at the menu.
"I think I want some super extra buttered popcorn." Kuki said, walking up to the counter.
"Waaaah!" Kuki yelled, as she slipped on a piece of extra buttery popcorn lying on the floor. Her feet flew up from under her and she fell back onto Wally.
"Ouch!" Wally said.
"Omigosh! I'm sorry Wally!" Kuki said, hurriedly getting up and helping Wally up. "Are you okay?"
"Are YOU okay?" Wally asked, standing up and brushing himself off, his ears burning red from embarrassment.
"I guess so." Kuki said. She bent down and picked up the piece of, surprisingly, undamaged popcorn from the floor.
"Property of the Delightful Children From Down The Lane?" Kuki read. She and Wally looked at each other.
"That's an odd name for a popcorn company." Kuki said. "And how can they get that onto their popcorn?" Kuki tossed it into the nearby trash bin.
"I don't feel really hungry anymore." Wally suddenly said.
"That's okay." Kuki said. They walked back to get their skates. Abby was in deep conversation with Nigel and Hoagie.
"Whats up you guys?" Kuki asked.
"Lizzie and I... Well... Lizzie and I are no longer together." Nigel said.
"You don't sound sad." Wally said.
"They were never really together anyways." Hoagie added.
"Oh. Rioght." Wally said, scratching his head. Abby looked over at Nigel.
"Come on Nigel. Let's skate. It'll take your mind off the break up and the Lizzie..."
Nigel gave Abby a small smile and they went out onto the rink. Kuki and Wally followed with no question. After a few fast skates, the DJ announced the last couples skate of the night. Wally looked over at Kuki. She smiled. This time, he took her hand and held it, fingers laced.
As they skated around, Wally pulled her to the side of the railings, away from the circling group of teens.
"Kuki." Wally said, still holding her hand.
"Yes?" Kuki asked. She could feel his palms beginning to sweat.
"I 'ad a lot of fun." He said. "Are you free tomorrow night?"
