As soon as Hoagie and Abby left, to "take the kitten home"...by Alex's knowledge, Alex glanced around the empty treehouse. "Hmm", she thought, "if Hoagie, and Abby aren't here, then where's Kuki and Wally?". "Where's Nigel?". She also wondered. Sitting on the couch, she looked down at her, "Vitamin B Blast!" milk she was drinking. She had also thought about her medicine she had just taken. Oddly enough, she didn't feel tired, or sad. She didn't feel anything at the moment. She didn't even feel nervous, or anxious, anymore. She felt...normal. She was smiling, she was back to her old, sophisticated, smart self, she was back to normal!...she felt. Yes! At that second, she felt happy...Kuki Sanban happy. She felt like picking up one of the hamsters, holding it, and going, "Wally, get down, Wally get down, Wally get down, now". Ok, she wasn't nearly as wacky enough to go ahead and do that, although she did feel pretty happy to feel like her old self, with no trouble at all. She still laid on the couch, burying her face in one of the pillows. At this rate, Alexandria felt like she could do anything. By her thought, she had even planned on going to the fridge to eat one of the sandwiches,...in five minutes.
Hehe, for a smart girl, she was a bit lazy at times. Lower, and lower she sank into the big, plush couch pillow, with how much more tired she became. Now, it was beginning to come. At this rate, she could barely keep her eyes open, as she laid down. Breathing softly, little Alex with brown hair that came to her shoulders, a purple shirt with a flower on there, tiny hands, wide eyes with pale, skin around them, and a tiny nose; physical characteristics that made her look more like a 5 year old, than a nine year old, fell asleep. With all she had been through in her young life, first with the unlucky bout of her birth mom dying two days after birth, yes, that had placed a giant weight on her tiny infant soul, and had caused her too much grief for a young soul, who couldn't even comprehend any of, anything yet. Then bad grievance piled on when she went to Kick and Reefer, and 7 other people, along with now, when she was finally facing the hard truth, and having her friends butt in on her life, and being put on different medicines, and having people make comments about her, she needed her rest. She finally was getting her sleep.
Her sleep went uninterrupted with no more nightmares, no more chaos, and no more anxiety. She had finally, for the first time in five days, and four nights, gotten good rest. Her rest went uninterrupted for the good part of an hour to two as she woke up, to the sound of...giggling. Giggling? Where was the….? Wha….? she had thought there was no one else in the treehouse with her. It was a soft, quiet, airy, yet light giggle that belonged to that of a girl. Kuki. Why of course. Who else might it have been? Alex got up, putting a pink, thin, green blanket around her. She then went to search for the source of the sound. It sounded as if it were coming from Wally's room, although after hearing it a second time, she had deduced it was coming from nowhere other than Kuki's room. Her small bare feet padded against the wooden floor, going into Wally's room. She then heard whispering. Whispering. Wha? Why would they be whispering? "You hold me like that, I might just pop". "You are sooooo funny, I forget how funny you are". The whisper sounded as if it were an airy, girly, feminine whisper. "That wouldn't be the first, thing you'd forget,...". The second whisper sounded low, and masculine, and Australian.
"Kuki". "Oh, don't be like that,...buppy". Her whisper then got lower. "Be kind in order to be cruel". "Psssst! Psst! Prsss!". Like that of soft silk was heard. "Ey, I chose you didn't I?". "prss prssssss!'. "You chose wisely". The whispering continued. "Oh, did I?". "You did". "Prsssssss!". "By my knowledge I did". "Oh, you". The whispering, and the rubbing of… silk, or… satin, was what Alex heard, continued. "Wha?"'. "You, that's what". Kuki whispered. "What". With emphasis on the "t" of "what". "Hee hee, hee, hee, hee!". "Ooooo! Kiss there, no there!". "Buppy!". "Hee hee hee hee!". The giggling continued. "I just never want this to end". Kuki whispered. They kept doing this for two more minutes. "Shh, what if somebody, hears us?". Kuki whispered. "Wha… they not going to care, they know we're in love". Wally whispered. "Ey, what about, Alexandria, what if she…?". "She'll be fine". Kuki whispered. "I didn't even know if she'd be in…". Wally whispered in a low, thick Australian voice. "I didn't know either". Kuki whispered. "Pssss, prssss". The noise of silk rubbing continued. It sounded like bedsheets. "Didn't she go to the doctors, today or…?". "I don't know, I think". "What time did they leave?". "I 'on't know, I didn't see em go". "What time did they come back?". "I 'on't know". "I don't know, don't look at me". "I on't know". Wally mumbled.
The whispering then turned to kissing. They tended to kiss loudly, as Kuki giggled happily. Alex stood outside, not doing anything. She knew Wally and Kuki were in love. She also knew that, at times Kuki and Wally would kiss. Today, they were kissing heavily, and happily as well. "Shhh, someone's coming!". Kuki whispered. "Ye' so?". Wally said. "It might be….psss pss". Kuki's whispering became softer, and softer. Alex wondered who they might've been talking about. Nigel? Were they afraid Nigel would return from the kitten's house, and catch them in the act? He could be back at any second, and if he saw them, boy, would he let them have it. "We can't have her in here". "She'll probably be confused...or something". "She doesn't know what we're doing yet". Kuki whispered. "she's seen us doin' fore, eel be fine". Wally whispered. "She won't be sure". "I've seen her become anxious with certain things". Kuki whispered. "She'll get scared, and not know what to do". "Eeel, be fine". "I seen her yell at me, fore, she good". "No, she's not". Kuki whispered. "She's very fragile right now". "Her emotional state is bad". Kuki whispered. She put a hand on his chest, pushing him away. "Here, go, go hide in the closet, or somewhere". "Go, go away, now!". She whispered harshly. "Fine, fine, aye mate". Wally then leaped into her closet.
Feeling as if she were about to close her eyes, at any second, Alex went in Kuki's room. Pushing open the door, the same way a kitty cat would push open a door and go in, Alex went in, she had looked cute with her fingers in her mouth, and her, "Vitamin B blast!" milk. She glanced around, seeing Kuki's room as being empty. That hadn't made any sense as she heard Wally and Kuki in there, kissing, right? She heard soft, rustling under Kuki's sheets.
Alex sat in the musty, dusty, stinky room that was Kuki's. She had on her nightgown, as she looked around. "Hrrruu a!". She heard a moan come from under the sheets. She turned her head a bit, only to hear the moaning again. It was certainly Kuki moaning, it sounded like her voice. Maybe drunk, perhaps high, who knows? All's Alexandria knew was that there was moaning, and squealing. "What on Earth?". She said irritated. Kuki had on a bikini, Bra, belly button ring, and earrings, as she laid in the bed, with her one leg over the other, and her body twisted, just...so. "mmm". Alex looked over at her. "Mm shhh, shhh, honey it's ok". Kuki whispered. "It's ok". "You're just so special, and amazing". As she whispered this, she brushed Alex's face, and wrapped her leg around Alex's body. "You're just so adorable, and sweet, and smart, and beautiful". "Pus pus". She whispered. "You're the greatest Alexandria Anastasia, you have such a beautiful name, baby". Alex looked around a bit, wondering what was happening. "Um". She said, turning her head. "Oh, you're so beautiful, and amazing, and wonderful, and so inspirational, and happy, and amazing". Kuki continued whispering quickly. It was clear for anyone to see, she was drunk, or high, or both. She brushed Alex's face, gently. "Don't worry, I'm always here to protect you. I'm your guardian angel". She said, in a low, singsong hum. "Mm, mommy's here to protect you".
"Shhhhh, shhh". Alex could easily see Kuki's lacy, black, bikini moving about, with her body. Turning, and laying sideways, as her body did. "You're so special, and you're so amazing, and strong and Kind". Kuki whispered. "And your family loves you". "Oh, you and your family, and your sister, and mommy, and Daddy". "And your guardian angel". Kuki whispered. "Um, I...I...". Alex said, "Oh, yes, mommy will be there". Kuki lifted her belly button ringed stomach as she said this. "Mm and Daddy". "and, mommy". "Well, I... I do like my mom". Alex said. "Yep, "Mommy, and Daddy, and Nala, and mommy will make cookies!". Kuki said in an excited, hushed whisper. "And". She whispered excitedly. "daddy, daddy will be there too, and he'll carry you to beddy bye, and kiss you goodnight" "sure". Alex said again, unsure. "Beddy bye". Kuki whispered. "Trssss". The soft, white sheets rustled a bit. The same sheets Kuki had made out with Wally on. Or at least that's what they were doing. He could've been doing a room inspection.
"Bedtime". She whispered. "With your nightlight, and your angel book, Abby gave you". "Oh, Abby gave you angel book". She whispered excitedly. Kuki felt up around Alex's neck. "Oh, is this your necklace?". She whispered, smiling. Alex nodded. "That birth mom gave you?". "Birth mommy". Alex looked around, with her fingers in her mouth. She was unsure of what was happening. "Birth mom". Kuki whispered. "Oh it'll be so special, you'll go to sleep, and wake up, and Daddy will be there". "Daddy's so funny". She whispered. She kicked her legs up, and down excitedly. "Kuki, are you drunk?", Alex asked. "You know I love you, Alex". Kuki whispered. "To death". She then smiled creepily. "Hee hee hee". She giggled. "You're my best friend, Alex". "I love you more than anyone else". "oh". She said drunkenly. "Oh, my dear I'll be right here, until my dyin days". She brushed her face. "You were sent down from heaven, my baby". Kuki whispered. "Your mommy, and daddy, and family love you". "Baby". She whispered. "I know". Alex said. "Angel". Kuki giggled, kissing her. She then ran her long fingernail down Alex's nightgown. "I'm your guardian angel". "Kuki, have you been on any controlled substances in the past 24 hours?". Alex asked, huffing. "Honey, I will always be here for you". Kuki said. "You're my baby". "I love you, and know just how special you are". Kuki whispered. "I will always be there for you". "I'm serious". Alex said. "Mm, oh, baby". "You were so special when you came to us". Kuki whispered.
"We all loved you, and couldn't wait for you to be part of our family". "Especially considering what you've been through". "That was bad". Kuki's whisper got even louder. "With 10 different families, and the pain, oh, the pain". "Yes. ... I...I know". Alex said. "Mm, Alex". Kuki whispered, cracking somewhat of a grin. As if she wanted to goad Alex into sneaking something. "Do you miss your mom?". Alex turned her head, with her fingers, again, in her mouth. "Um... I...I don't think I can answer that". She said. "I don't remember my mom, I'm sorry". "Surely, you remember her voice, and how she talked to you". Kuki whispered. "Oh". Alex then remembered her birth mom, and how she died a week after she had Alex. Tears came to her eyes. "Right". "I know baby". Kuki hushed Alex softly.
"I know". "Um... I...I...". "Krrk, trssss". Kuki rustled beneath the sheets. "You are so special, and amazing though". "Strong, Smart, thoughtful, so happy, despite your circumstances". Kuki whispered. "You are our inspiration, and you will always be, Bestie". Kuki giggled. "Mmmm, I'm never gonna give you up". She hummed softly. "Wait, um... Kuki... um... I... I...". Alex stuttered out. "Shhhh". Kuki whispered, softly. "I'm never ever gonna stop". "It's not the way I feel about ya, baby, I just can't live without ya". "Gonna stay right here, with you,...". Kuki's evil, mischievous grin came to, again. "Bestie". She whispered. "Oh, Alex, you're so amazing, and". She whispered airily. "You're a great girl". "God loves you". "Oh, I know, sh". She hugged Alex, pressing her against her bikini. "Mm, dear diary" . She whispered. "I know we don't have a lot of money, or, nice people, but love, hope, and friendship will help me". Kuki giggled, kissing Alex's cheek. "You're my best friend". She whispered. "I love (luff) you". Alex noised a bit, as her fingers stayed in her mouth. Tears came to her wide eyes. A saddened, hurt, and sorrowful noise came from Alex. "Shh". "Oh, what's wrong, Alex?". "Bestie?". Kuki whispered. "Are you content?". "Tell me what happened".
"I want my mom". Alex said. "Well, I'm here". Kuki whispered. "Don't you love me?". Alex nodded. "Of course, silly". Kuki giggled. "Trssss rrrssss", was heard again from the sheets rustling. "Not to worry, Alex". Kuki's maniacal grin returned. It was the same one she had, while holding a giant needle for a shot. "We will always be here for you, no matter what". "Always". She whispered, scandalously. She then began kissing Alex's cheek, excessively. "We're best friends". She said cheerfully. Alex nodded. "That's right, baby". Kuki whispered. "Yeah, honey". "Yeah". "Yes". Alex said. "mmm oh baby, what was that one song they sang for your grandma when she passed away". Feeling a sting come to her, Alex hung her head, dejectedly. "I don't remember". She said. "You used to call me your angel". Kuki said in a soft hum. "Said I was sent straight down from heaven". Kuki's face became a lime shade of green, as she continued kissing Alex, everyplace. She even went for the mouth, and tried putting her tongue on Alex's cheek, and licking it. Giggling afterwards. She was nuts at times. "Oh my". Kuki giggled in a guilty fashion. "What?". Alex asked. "Oh, nothing of the sort". Kuki kept giggling. "Oh geez". "I need to... oh, my!". She continued giggling. "Do you need to throw up?". Alex asked flatly. "No, my love". Kuki giggled. "I'm not done with you yet". "I'll always be here for you, Alex, my love". Kuki said in a low voice. "My best friend". She kissed Alex. Alex turned her head.
"I love you". Kuki whispered. Alex noised. Kuki's green face, turned a tomato red. She then got up quickly. "Scuse me, Bestie!". "One second, I need to get out of here!". She then ran out of the room, going into the bathroom, puking in the toilet. She was drunk. Alex sat wondering what happened. Kuki came back. "Oh sorry, Bestie!". She said in a singsong voice. "Had to yeah". "Vomit?". Alex asked. "Mm, hi, beautiful". Kuki giggled. "I'm so hungry". "Me and you, should get some French fries, baby". Kuki giggled, obviously drunk. Kuki leafed around Alex's neck, until she found her necklace, her birth mom gave her. "That's beautiful". Kuki whispered. "Your mommy loved you very, very much, baby". "Yeah". Alex put her head down. "She did". Kuki said. "We all do". ""Mm, honey". Kuki said. "Such a beautiful girl". Kuki said. "Come here, baby".
She then pulled Alex into a hug, as the black lace brushed Alex's face gently. Kuki hugged Alex. Alex closed her eyes, comfortably. She finally felt at home. "Mm, mm hmm, hmm. Hmm". Kuki chuckled a bit. She kissed Alex again. "Love you baby". She whispered. Alex noised. As they hugged, Kuki's face turned as red as a tomato. "I love you". Alex finally said. "Love you too, babe". "Oh yeah, I...blurp!". Kuki's face turned bright red, at that moment. "I'll be back honey". "Where's Wally?". "Oh Boo poo!". "I need you!" She sang, drunkenly. She then stumbled into the bathroom, puking in the toilet, yet again. Wally then came in the room. Seeing Alex, he joked around, putting on a sour mood. He unbuttoned his jeans, changing into other ones. "Ey, who let the monkey in?". "You know we got rules against that, here". Wally huffed. "I thought they had rules against Chimpanzees being here". Alex scoffed back. They shared a knowing smile, before Wally jumped on the bed, awaiting Kuki. "I love Kuki". Alex brought up. "Yeah, it be too bad we gotta share her". Wally said. "She's mine, lil Joey". "Keep ya hands off". Alex rolled her eyes.
"Keep at the foolishness Beatles". She huffed. "Yeah? Keep bein a know it all". Wally scoffed back. Kuki eventually came out of the bathroom. Wally's voice lowered to that of a sexual nature. "What?". "What the…?". "What are you doing?!". Kuki gasped, grabbing Wally by the shirt. She pulled him over to the side. "What are you doing?". She snapped harshly. "I told you to stay hidden, Alex is very vulnerable about this stuff!". "Really?". Wally retorted. "After your little Kooky game?". "Now's not the time!". Kuki whispered, harshly. "Look, you have to be extra careful, as Alex is extremely sensitive right now". "The last thing she needs is for two people to be making out in front of her, now, get! Get!". She said harshly. "Look, I think she needs to learn". "It's not like she's not going to come across this at some point in her life, right?". "Let her understand, and learn, and if she's not acclimated, she can do it another time". Wally said. "Besides, today I think you're cute". Wally flirtatiously booped Kuki's nose. "Oh, you are too, Wubby!". Kuki giggled. They then both embraced as Wally grabbed Kuki by the hips, pulling her in to kiss him. She ran her hands down his shirt, as he kissed her, putting his tongue in her mouth. She bit his tongue playfully, as Wally frenched her. They made out before, and now again. Alex knew just what they were up to, and with that, she left Kuki's room, shuddering at what she just saw. She then heard a loud noise that sounded like two people vomiting everywhere. She then saw Wally and Kuki face down in a puddle of throw up. They were disoriented. The foolish two.
Luckily, they didn't need Nigel, or anyone to see them. They may've been goody, and lovely, and nice on the surface, although, they were goofed up deep down, Alex knew. Nowhere, and no one had anyone as bad as the foolish two. "So why did you come in here?". Kuki asked, as Alex walked away."I needed a place to sleep, so I came in here". "I didn't even know Kuki was in here". He said softly, yet with a deep relaxed voice. "I didn't even see her, I just sat in here sleepin". He assured. Alex could see through his cover up. She knew he was kissing Kuki earlier. She could also connect the dots as to why he was lying under the sheets in wait. She knew the two were in a relationship, a very saucy one at that. She knew no matter what, she couldn't stop her best friend from getting together with Wally. She could be there to dry her tears if something happened, although the way it looked now, they were there to stay. Alex sighed, knowing Nigel would freak out if he knew of their make out sessions, while on the clock.
Although she took comfort in knowing Kuki really and truly did care for Al, it seemed. She felt better knowing her best friend was always there. "Alexandria". Wally asked, glancing up at her. "Do you want me to go outside? ". "It'd be betta for ye, mate". He assured. Alex, too tired to look up mumbled a faint, "yeah". "K". He then got up from under the sheets, standing up. He was indeed shirtless with pink lipstick kissy marks up and down his chest. "So, he was making out with Kuki". Alex deduced. She turned over, going back to sleep. Wallabee made his way outside to where Kuki was on the couch, kicking Sanban's door closed as he went out. He sat across from her on the couch, grabbing her by the waist, pulling her in, her touching his face as they continued their make-out bonanza. "Mmm, she didn't feel bad, did she?". Kuki whispered again. "No, I told her you weren't even unda there". There was some more whispering, and even more kissing. "She's cute idn't she?". "Yeah, but she's…". "I know". "I don't even know why Nigel insists on her being here in the first place". "Ye". "I on't know either". The whispers made by the older implied that Alex was a bit of a nuisance.
Being the youngest in the treehouse, even below Kuki, and the most fragile for now, also given her past, and where she was coming from, Alex was seen as a minor inconvenience, being that everyone was much older than her, much more cynical, and had to take care of her at times. There wasn't much she hadn't seen. She had seen Kuki and Wallabee kissing, she had seen Hoagie's obscure bed set, she had even seen, in her visual once, thanks to Circa Monom, a teenage Hank, and Cree making legitimate love. She had also seen Abigail in her bra. Edd, her now boyfriend was much older than her, and had done many "older kid" things around her. This included smoking, drinking a glass of wine, staying up late, and making out with Nazz before he and Alex dated. She was second to youngest in her family, one from Nala, so she had often always gone to her older cousins, and older friends for advice. In the interest of the Bagge family, she was always seen by the Bagge family as the youngest, and most naive. They often resented her, and saw her as a nuisance for it. Excluding Muriel from that problem. She ignored their whispers and finally went to sleep. She still felt calm as she turned over, and got the rest of her sleep.
