Chapter 5: Empty Cups equals Sour Attitude.
Kuki hummed softly to herself as Wally continued to nap. She glanced over at him and smiled, he looked so cute sleeping there.
'Numbuh 4... you would never have guessed that he was 'Mr. Tough-Guy.'
"Why hello lovely girl, are you selling lemonade?"
Numbuh 3 turned her attention away from Numbuh 4 to see a young boy almost the same height as her with a pure blonde bowl cut hair, parted in the middle with light-blue eyes and a blue suit on.
Kuki unaware of her customer's appearance blushed slightly and smiled joyfully. "Yes, would you like to buy some?"
"Yes, please."
She quickly and excitedly poured him a cup. He sipped it casually with his pinky finger extended.
"Mmm, how delightful," he smirked.
Numbuh 3 narrowed her eyes in thought at the boy.
"Heyyy... you forgot to pay!"
His smirkey smile returned to his lips. "Right you are dear, how rude of me!"
He began digging through his pockets still keeping his icy blue eyes on Kuki.
"It seems that I don't have any spare change however..." he said taking a small bottle from his shirt pocket. "Would you dear take this instead?"
He extended his hand and dropped a crystal shaped container in her hands.
"What is it?" she asked curiously.
"Why it's a very expensive perfume bottle from France!" he smiled.
Kuki looked at him blankly not really knowing what he was talking about, she had neither idea what perfume was nor what France was.
"Just push the little button on top and a mist of a sweet smell will come out."
"Really, what kind of smell?" she asked happily.
"Uh, I don't know, um, watermelon?" he shrugged.
She again stared at him blankly. "Cool!"
She turned the bottle towards her and sprayed a mist of violet smoke. Taking one whiff, she dropped the bottle and her vision got blurry.
"Hey, this isn't watermelon; it smells more like... a...grape..."
Her head collapsed down on the stand as her eyes slowly started closing. The last thing she saw was four more figures with the piercing blue eyes gather around the boy and they all laughed in monotone.
"Come back yah cruddy teenagers... I'm guna kick your ahh, huh?" Numbuh 4 awoke from his slumber. "Ah man, how long have I been asleep?"
He tilted his head up to the sky which was growing rather grey.
"Hey Numbuh 3, what time is it?"
He looked to his left and saw Kuki with her head in her arms. To Numbuh 4, apparently she had dozed off too.
"Hey Numbuh 3, wake up!" he said.
He noticed empty cups scattered around her and on the ground.
"Cool, hey Numbuh 3 did we sell some?" he asked the sleeping Kuki as he got up and examined the cooler.
He lifted the lid and saw that the pitcher was empty also. Numbuh 4 was rather confused and uneasy about the whole thing so he decide to wake her up.
"Hey Numbuh 3 what happen to the juice, did we sell any?"
She stretched a bit but didn't respond.
"Numbuh 3 answer me!"
He picked up a crumbled cup and threw it at her head. She grunted a bit and murmured 'what do you want' under a tired voice.
"Numbuh 3 did we sell some lemonade?"
"Oh, I forget..." she murmured.
"What do yah mean yah forget?"
He lifted her head and saw an empty cup crumbled in her hand.
He grunted, "Did you drink another cup?"
She sat straight up and looked around. "What happened?"
"That's jus' what I've been asking, Numbuh 3 did you drink the whole thing?"
She looked up at Wally with a sad yet confused face which Numbuh 4 took as a guilty look and he glared at her.
"You drank the whole thing!?"
"I..." she squeaked but gasped when Numbuh 4 grabbed the collar of her shirt.
"Are yah that stupid, common Numbuh 3 don'chu think of anyone besides yourself?"
"But I..."
"You wanted tah spend the money on those stupid Rainbow Monkey dolls, you wanted tah buy expensive cups that we didn't even need."
"But I..."
"And now you drink the whole thing of lemonade that we're supposed to sell and raise money for the team so that we won't have tah sleep under a stormy sky again!"
It seemed the more Numbuh 4 yelled and bickered the more the sky grew dark and pretty soon trickles of rain fell down on an angry Wally and frightened Kuki.
"What do you think we're supposed to do now, huh?" he screamed.
Kuki tried to speak but what came out were just quivered words and it didn't help because he kept interrupting her.
"Why do you always have tah mess things up?' he yelled shoving her to the ground.
Her eyes glazed over with tears and she whimpered.
"Huh, WHAT!?"
"You're so mean Numbuh 4," she sniffed. "I hate you!" She screamed, staggering up and running off into the storm down the sidewalk.
'Hate?'
Numbuh 4's mouth hung wide open. He was startled when a bright flash shot out at him and he shielded his eyes.
"Awh, you moved Wallace," came five eerie monotone voices from a few feet away. "Your big mouth hanging wide open like that would've made great blackmail," they chuckled holding up a camera.
"What do yah five losers want?" He glared at them under a huge umbrella that managed to shield all five Delightful Children.
"We're pleased to say that today you're the biggest loser Wallace," they laughed. "That pour sweet girl Kuki, you were really mean Wallace."
His eyes narrowed at them. "You're the ones who did this!"
They laughed out loud, "Very good."
"Destroying you stupid Kids Next Door is very pleasing but also watching you fail at trying to recover makes it some-what more delightful."
They laughed at Wally and turn to walk off leaving him with his guilt.
Wally lowered his head letting his wet bangs drip over his eyes.
"Numbuh 3."
He started to run in her direction when a crunching sound came from beneath his foot were he stepped on a cup.
He sighed heavily and cursed to himself. He lifted his head and ran off into the rain to find the girl.
