Chapter 3:

Disclaimer: I don't the KND.

Numbers 1,2,3,4 and 5 bounded down the sidewalk to head to the candy store. Number 4 kept on taking a look at Number 3, who apparently was talking to Zack.

"And so, we went on this super-duper mission in which had to rescue rainbow monkeys! They were so cute and so cuddly and…"

Zack smiled at Number 3. He was tuning out most of what Number 3 was saying and was paying attention to his own thoughts. He still remembered the day before he had to go on the mission…

"Brother, Brother! Do you have to go?" A little pleaded. " I don't want to go to school by myself!"

"Marianna, you know I have to go. If I come back, I will make sure that I buy you some new stuffed animals." The boy then turned to his little sister. "I promise."

"Zack, what if you don't come back? What if? Please don't leave me!"

"Um hello?" a voice called to him.

Zack focused his attention back to the real world as he realized that Kuki was still talking to him.

" Oh sorry. Just you talking about those rainbow monkeys reminded lot me a lot of little sister in Australia." Zack replied sadly. " She must think I'm dead or something like that."

The tears were forming in his eyes, getting to drop down like a rainfall. Zack fought hard to keep them back and succeeded.

"What was your little sister like? What's her name? I want to meet her some day!" Number 3 said as she dragged Zack in the candy store.

The rest of the gang entered the candy store a little bit later. Number 4 was still keeping a careful eye out for Number 3.

Zack and Number 3 got done a little bit early so they went up to the front desk. A geeky looking teenager with buckteeth said "Cash or credit?"

Zack took out his AC discount credit card and said "You can charge the amount to that sir.

Number 3 sort of stared in amazement for a few seconds then said, "You have a credit card? You didn't need to use it anyway silly! We usually charge it to our KND account. Come on lets wait outside since we're done."

Zack smiled at Number 3 as she skipped down the steps.

She's so perfect. Just her black hair bouncing up and down, her smile that brightens my day…

Zack came up from behind Number 3 and grabbed her waist. "Got you."

Number 3 giggled in response. Zack then turned her around and looked in her eyes.

It's now or never.

Zack then gave Kuki a long and passionate kiss. After five minutes he pulled away.

He then looked into Kuki's eyes and wondered what she thought now…

Kuki's Point of View

I can't believe Zack just kissed me like that! I guess it counts that he gave me the first kiss. I sort of was saving it for Wally, but I guess that doesn't matter now. ;)

I have to admit, though Zack is kind of cute. I mean with his not-too-short black hair and blue-gray eyes, what girl would resist?

I still don't know if it's okay to love him or not. If I choose Zack, then what will I do with Wally? I can't just abandon him or toss him aside! I guess I'll have to ask Number 5's advice on things like this.

Oh gee, here comes Number 4 looking really mad…

Wally's Point of View

What is Zack trying to do? I'm not going to let that little prick steal my girl! If he tries, he's going to have to go through me first!

As I came out of the candy store he was holding my Kuki like she was his girlfriend or something! That mad me as mad as a kangaroo on fire!

" What do you two think you're doing?" I practically snarled this on out.

Zack immediately let go of Kuki and then said "Nothing really."

Then that mindless git turned around and started heading back to the tree house. I hope trips on a rock and dies!

Zack's Point of View

Okay, so what was wrong? I don't get it! Maybe I'm just not keeping my eyes opened wide enough.

It seems that Wally wants me to lay of "his" Kuki. I still didn't get what was wrong!

I just hope Marianna is okay for now. I do miss that little chump. For a while, I was thinking about what I was going to do for tonight. I mean that Wally guy is sort of protecting Kuki, so I guess that means no talking with her.

Finally! I got an idea! I'm going to buy a ticket for my little sister Marianna, so she can come and keep me company!

Alright then, that's exactly what I'm going to concentrate on for tonight!
