CHAPTER 2

Taking Wally Home

"We're-I mean, I'm home!" Kuki yelled. She had almost blurted out about Wally!

"Hi, Sis!" Mushi exclaimed. "Want to play with me?"

"I can't," Kuki said. "I have to take a shower, it's so hot today!" She left her purse on the kitchen table, walked into the bathroom, closed the door, and locked it. Mushi could hear the water turning on.

"Wow!" Wally whispered to himself. "Look at those babes in that bowl!" He was looking at the oranges in a ceramic bowl, on the kitchen counter.

He bounced out of the purse, and into the bowl. Oranges surrounded him. He felt at home. The girl oranges were as sweet as they tasted, he bet.

"Hey," he said with his slick accent. "Name's Wally. What's yours?"

It didn't answer. It wasn't alive like him.

"I get it," He smoothly spoke. "I'm too cool for you, and you're stunned by my coolness. I understand. Happens all the time."

"Cute orange!"

Wally looked up at Mushi. She stared at him with puppy dog-eyes.

"Uh-oh," he thought.

Mushi picked him up, and took him to her room. Her girly room disgusted him. It was pink and fluffy. And it had tons of Rainbow Monkeys. He felt sick.

"I'm not allowed to eat oranges, but they taste so good!" Mushi exclaimed. "They're so juicy and tangy! If my sister saw me eating you, she'd freak! Oranges give me terrible hives! But, only if I eat them. I don't care! I'm gonna eat you!"

Wally closed his eyes in terror.

Kuki walked past Mushi's room, with a towel surrounding her body. She saw Mushi about to bite her new friend!

"Mushi!" Kuki screeched. "Don't you dare eat that orange!"

She walked into the room and snatched it from her sister.

"Why not?" Mushi whined. She threw one of her famous tantrums. "I don't get hives anymore!"

"You ate an orange yesterday, and broke out in a million hives all over your body!" Kuki argued. "We're not taking any chances!"

With that, she left the little brat's room.

"Thanks for the save," Wally thanked her. "A second later, I'd have been peeled. By the way, nice body, I like it. Don't take it the wrong way. I like you for who you are, but you're so pretty- I'm blinded by the prettiness! But seriously, you look great!"

"Put a sock in it!" She joked. "Do you mind?"

"No," he said, completely oblivious. "Oh, oh! Right, sorry! I'll be under your covers!"

When she was done changing into fresh clothes, he came out.

"Done yet?"

"You bet!"

"So what do we do?"

"Let's get to sleep! I have a basket with a soft cloth you can sleep on."

"Thanks, Kuki! Night, human!"

"Night, talking, bouncing orange with blond bowl-cut hair and a cute accent!"

They went to sleep.
