While Numbuh's 1, 2 and 3 walked home together while 4 and 5 rode the bus. Kuki was holding the nameless egg close, so she wouldn't drop it. Nigel just concentrated on walking. Hoagie decided to strike up a conversation.
"So, any attempts to name the egg?" He asked. Nigel sighed.
"Yes, but we can't decide on ANYTHING." He said, hunching his shoulders. Kuki smiled.
"Aw c'mon! What kind of name is Chris anyways!?" She said, getting a disgusted look on her face.
"Hey! It was a good name!" Nigel countered. Hoagie shrugged.
"I always liked the name Wolfgang!" He said with a stupid grin. No one said anything for a while.
"Chris is too.... just too weird!" Kuki said. "He has to have a super cool name!"
"Well, what 'super cool' name would you like, then!?" Nigel asked. Kuki thought for a moment.
"Hmmm.. Uhhmm... How about... Uhh.. GEORGE!" She exclaimed.
"GEORGE? Ugh whatever!" Nigel said. They had gotten to his house by now.
"Bye Hoagie! See ya tomorrow morning!" Kuki said. "Now, we have a lot of stuff to do! We have to clean him, feed him, tell him stories.." By then Hoagie had a smirk on his face and was leaving.
"See you love birds tomorrow!" He said. Nigel grred.
"C'mon.." He grabbed her wrist and dragged her inside. They then sat down on the couch. Kuki took out the check list and a pencil.
"Okay!! So, we have his name. Check! Does he have a diaper?" She asked Nigel. He sighed.
"Does it look like he's got one on?" He asked. Kuki glared at him.
"Fine!" He got up and grabbed the kleenex box and some tape. Sitting back down, he retrieved George and ripped out a kleenex. Nigel then wrapped it around the bottom half of the egg, so it looked like a diaper. Then with a piece of tape, he made sure it stayed.
"There!" He said. Kuki smiled sweetly.
"Awww! He looks so cute!" She said. "Okay!! Check! Now we have to feed him! What should we use?"
"Well.. can we just say he ate? I mean.. it's not like he's gonna actually eat it." Nigel said. He would admit. This was somewhat fun. Kuki shook her head.
"No way! He has to eat or he'll die!" She said. Nigel hung his head a bit.
"Aw c'mon Kuki! It's not that big of a deal.." He said, his voice trailing off. Kuki sighed.
"Well.. okay!! But if George gets sick, it's your fault!" She said. Nigel smiled somewhat. He never really realized how cute Kuki could be. When they weren't on a mission, she normally just annoyed the day lights out of him. But now she was.. different. Maybe this wouldn't be so bad after all.
"Hmm.. what else do we have to do?" Nigel asked. Kuki squinted her eyes, reading the text.
"It says.. 'You have to act like parents around your egg to set off the family feeling. Try not to fight. Maybe even get the egg a small bed in a shoe box or something so it can sleep when you sleep.'." She said. "Ohh! A bed! Do you have any shoe boxes?"
"Yeah, I think so. I'll go check.." He said, thinking for a moment.
"I wanna come!" She said, following after him into his room. Nigel's room was clean. Posters of KND were everywhere along with some trophies from Little League and his medal from KND Moon Base.
"Wow!! I like your room!" She said. Nigel was kind of surprised by that since her room was totally different. He smiled gently.
"Thanks.." He said. Kuki smiled.
"Although.. a teency weency little rainbow monkey wouldn't hurt.." She said but giggled slightly to show her kidding. Nigel shook his head, digging around in the closet for some sort of box. After coming across a couple pairs of old underwear, he quickly shut the door to his closet.
"Uhh.. there might be one under my bed." He got down on his stomach and dug around under his bed.
"Found one!" He grabbed it and dumped an old pair of shoes out of it. Nigel got to his feet. She hadn't said anything for a while. Kuki was glancing at the pictures on his dresser, silently smiling. He came over to her with the box.
"Er.. you ready?" He asked. She nodded with a small smile.
"Yup!! Can he have a blanket?" Kuki asked. He nodded.
"Hm.. yeah." Nigel grabbed a smaller towel from the closet in the hallway and walked out into the living room, Kuki following behind him.
"George! It's time for a nap!" She grinned picking him up and hugging him close. Nigel shook his head gently, sitting down next to her, fixing up George's bed.
"There!" He grinned as Kuki put the egg into the box and smiled. Nigel smiled as well, almost.. proud.
"Ya think we're good parents?" She asked. Nigel nodded.
"Course."
Yay! Thanks SO MUCH for reviewing everyone! I'm really glad! I've been having a huge writer's block so I'm glad to get Chapter 2 up! Let's celebrate! -Dances around- Chapter 3 should be up. Any suggestions that would be cute?
