Chapter Two: Ginger
"So you're saying that Nigel is in some sort of trouble at Moon Base?" Wally asked incredulously, "I don't believe it! He can't be there, he's a teenager!" Abby looked a little worried.
"It is far-fetched." she admitted, "But it was Nigel's handwriting. Plus you have to remember, he was given the honorary life-long membership because of the accident." Wally nodded but didn't look convinced.
"You know what?" he asked, "I'm going too. I don't care if I didn't get an invite, I was part of the team too! What time does the flight leave?"
Abby looked at her watch and answered, "We got two and half hours before we have to be here." Wally looked at the three with amazement.
"What the hell are you all here so early for?!" he gasped. The three looked sheepish and shrugged. "Well whatever," he dismissed it with a wave of his hand, "I'll have to stop by at Ginger's and tell her I'm not staying." Kuki stood with him.
"Can I come?" She said this more as a demand than a request, and she started off toward the exit before Wally could object.
They took a taxi to a small house. The two climbed out, just as a tall, red-haired girl came running out in nothing but a long t-shirt and boxers to meet Wally. Freckles were all over her nose and cheeks, her eyes a bright, dancing green.
"I'm much prettier than that girl," Kuki thought with such seething dislike, she was shocked with herself, "'I can't believe I just thought that!' said Angel Kuki. 'Yes you can,' said Devil Kuki. 'No! I'm not a bad person! If Wally wants this girl, let him have her!' Angel Kuki said. 'You know you want him! That slut doesn't deserve your man, does he?' said Devil Kuki. 'Well...' said Angel Kuki." The real Kuki shook her head, feeling like she was crazy, having imaginary conversations in her head.
"Ginger!" Wally yelled and threw his arms around Ginger. Ginger grinned, laughing, and hugged him back.
"Oh!" she squealed, "I can't believe you're finally here!" Wally ended the hug abruptly.
"Listen, I can't stay long, I have somewhere to go." he said getting right to the subject. Ginger took a step back with a pout.
"Who's she?" she asked instead, pointing to Kuki.
"That's Kuki," Wally explained, "Old childhood friend. I ran into her at the airport. She's the reason I can't stay." Wally frowned for a moment, realizing how bad that sounded. "I mean she told me that another friend, Nigel, is really sick. I have to see him but he's pretty far so I'm taking another plane to go see him." Ginger pouted again.
"Oh..." she cooed sympathetically and put her arms around Wally and leaning against him, she gave Kuki a look that said simply, 'You touch him, you die.' "Poor Wally," she said and kissed him long and slowly on the lips, "I hope your friend will be okay."
Kuki stiffened at the moment Ginger put her fat lips against Wally's perfect ones. "I'll be in the taxi." she said through clenched teeth and stormed off to the back seat of the taxi. The driver turned to her and chuckled.
"That your ex out there?" he asked, nodding his head to Wally. Kuki shook her head stiffly.
"No. Just a friend." she said tightly and looked out the opposite window. The driver took the hint and turned back around, waiting patiently for Wally.
After another five minutes of Ginger pouting and planting slobbery kisses over Wally's perfect face, Wally finally climbed into the taxi, next to Kuki.
"Sorry that took so long." he apologized and told the driver to head back to the airport.
"Nice girlfriend." Kuki said, trying to sound convincing, but Wally sensed the hurt in her voice.
"I'm sorry Kuki..." he muttered, staring at her long and deeply. Kuki blinked and looked away.
"Sorry for what?" she asked, "Nothing to be sorry for." You idiot! What are you doing! You're throwing your chance away! That's what you're doing! Kuki silently begged her brain to be quiet.
Wally looked away sadly and shook his head. They rode the rest of the trip in silence.
Okay, that's Chapter Two. I hope more people are reading this than I think because I don't want to post this if no one is going to even read this. Anyway, I may not be good at posting this within reasonable time anyway. I'm working on a Harry Potter fic right now and I like it more than I like the KND one.
Anyway, love you all, really I do. Sort of.
Mucho love, Stephanie (aka: Stephanyey or Ami-Lili)
