Driver: Wallabee
Beetles
Age: 12
Epilogue:
Wallabee: (Drives up) Calypso! (Steps out of the car)
Calypso: Wallabee Beetles. The infamous Numbah 4. You have won the Twisted Metal competition, and now you get one–
Wallabee: Yeah, yeah, yeah, save it, I'm not getting any younger you know! And speaking of young, that's exactly what my wish is about! I've been at this game for about 6 days! Calypso, I wish me, and every Kid's Next Door operative from Sector V along with me, kept our current ages permanently, and never grew older!
Calypso: Very well, Wallabee. You are the winner, and now, here is your prize! (Laughs maniacally; lightning) There, I have granted your wish, now go on home and enjoy your eternal youth.
Wallabee: Yes! Ah, hey…wait a minute…how do I know this is supposed to work?
Calypso: Go ask your parents how old you are turning tomorrow.
Wallabee: Oh yeah! Why didn't I think of that!
Calypso (narration): And so he did drive on home, eager to hear the news of his eternal youth.
Wallabee: Mum! Dad!
Mr. Beetles: What is it, son? Got a little bug stuck in you're throat or something?
Wallabee: No, no, just a simple question, ahem…how old am I turning tomorrow?
(Mr. And Mrs. Beetles look at each other)
Mrs. Beetles: (Walks to the calendar) Well, you should be turning thir…(Sees calendar) well, look at that, it turns out that your birthday is missing? The date just skips ahead into the day after, your birth-date is not here?
Mr. Beetles: Well, I suppose your not gonna becoming any older than twelve Wallabee. Congratulations!
Wallabee: (Relieved) Thanks dad! I better go see the others.
Mr. Beetles: Right-O.
Calypso (narration): Wallabee Beetles raced to the Kids Next Door Treehouse to meet his fellow comrades. What had happened to him was the same for them. All their birth-dates had been wiped out of the calendar, and he explained about the Twisted Metal contest and his wish.
Wallabee: This is great! Now, where's Numbah 3 so I can tell her!
(The other's look down in sadness)
Wallabee: What? What is it?
Nigel: Numbah 4, the thing is, yesterday, Numbah 3…
Abigail: It was her birthday…her 13th birthday…
Hoagie: She was decommissioned at 2:00 p.m., and has already teamed up with the teens.
Wallabee: No…but…I made the wish…it should have worked for her!
Nigel: As you told us, you made the wish today, Numbah 4. The day after Numbah 3's birthday.
Wallabee: But the wish should have worked for her!
Abigail: It may have, but if it took affect today, then…
Nigel: Then that means Numbah 3 will remain thirteen for the rest of her life.
Wallabee: No…Kuki…I…I never got the chance to…
Hoagie: It's ok Numbah 4…she went quietly, and before she did go, she wanted me to tell you something.
Wallabee: (Bracing) What?
Hoagie: That she liked you…that she always liked you…
Calypso (narration): Wallabee spent the rest of his life after that trying to bring back Kuki Sanban from the forces of the teens. To this day, it has yet to be known whether he has succeeded or not.
I Am Calypso, And I Thank You For Playing Twisted Metal
