Okay, so I originally started this in the summer, but deleted it, and now I plan to restart it. This is a KND story: couples are completely obvious. And no I do not own KND: wish I did. Waaa……

On with the short and boring story, yay!

…………………………………………………………………………………

It was a rainy day and Abby was soaked when she sprinted back to the treehouse. When she entered she immediately went into her room. Nobody dared disturb her, as it seemed she had caught a cold. They all let her "rest".

The truth was Abby only faked a cold: she was actually trying to cover up what she had done at the bookstore today.

A few days ago she went with Kuki to the bookstore, for some girly magazines and maybe some nice fiction. They each grabbed their share of supreme girliness, and then wandered around the shop. Kuki dashed over to the manga section, wanting to see the "pretty picture books".

Abby was scanning the store until a colorful book caught her eye. It was one on astrology. Something inside her forced her to pick it up and find out more…

So she did. In it she learned what astrology was, why it was so scorned by scientists, and more stuff. She HAD to have this book. The thought of knowing more about the people around you was too good to be true. But it was true!

Planning to come back another day, so as not to be too conspicuous (and anyways, she had no more money right now, the rest was in her room) she called Kuki over and they paid for the magazines.

Now, it was a drizzly day, so Abby thought she could get away with quickly buying the book without an umbrella. However, as soon as she stepped out of the shop she realized that was not the case. Stuffing the book in her shirt she ran off with full speed.

And now here she was, the color-filled tome safely in her hands. She started reading detail by detail, and then something in that book prompted her to do something. Something that would continue for a looooong time…she was going to cast horoscopes. Starting as soon as she finds out everyone's birthdays…

……………………………………………………………………………

"Numbuh 5, you want to do what?"

"You heard me correctly, Numbuh 1. I plan to cast everyone's horoscopes, so I need their birthdays. Yours too."

Nigel sat in his swivel chair for a moment, pondering this, and soon came to a decision.

Should she get them? Well…it is harmless…and this way she can't forget any of our birthdays, so that means extra gifts. Yay!

"Very well, Numbuh 5. Carry on as you wish; you have my permission to access the files."

"Thank you, Numbuh 1!" She turned to leave.

"Uh, Abby?"

She spun around. "Yeah?"

"Mine's January 11th."

Numbuh 5 smiled. "Well ok then!"

……………………………………………………………………………………….

Numbuh 5 went and got the birthdates. Now she was heading to Kuki's room, because she wanted to tell her first.

She slid the curtain open. "Hey Kuk-whoa!"

All around were new Rainbow Monkeys, dressed in Japanese attire. And there, in the center of the room, sat Kuki, performing the tea ceremony for her "guests". Behind her was a giant Japanese flag. She was wearing a geisha costume and pouring some tea when she saw Abby and cheerfully said, "Konnichiwa, Abby-san!"

"Er…Kuki…what is all this stuff?"

"Oh this? This is my new Rainbow Monkey collection! They just released the only set of "Global Rainbow Monkeys", and it's from Japan!"

"And this is why you're like this?"

"HAI!"

"Ok, um can I come in?"

"Hai! Sit over there and I'll make you some tea while we talk."

"Um…sure…"

In a few minutes a bowl of steaming tea was handed to Abby and she sipped it.

"Oishii desu ka?"

Numbuh 5 didn't need to know Japanese, just seeing Kuki's easy-to-read face was enough. "Yeah, it's tasty."

She grinned. "So what did you want to talk about?"

Abby put her bowl down. "Well, for starters…"

She began the story. When she finished, Kuki's eyes were huge.

"Sugoi! You're really casting horoscopes? Sugoi sugoi sugoi! Can you do mine first?"

Numbuh 5 laughed. "Sure, Numbuh 3." Then she looked at her watch. "I better get started now. See you later, Kuki…um…"

Kuki calmly replied, "You call me Kuki-san."

"Err…oh yeah, right! Well see you later Kuki-san."

"Matane!"

Numbuh 5 slipped back into her room with ease. Once there, she began to think of her real plan. Horoscopes was a slight cover over what she really planned to do. And what were her real intentions? Well, let's just say it involved matchmaking…
