Chapter 5

Missing a Dear Friend

A group of friends, and team-mates stood in the living room. They were all discussing the big day tomorrow. "What do you think will happen?" asked Kuki. "They'll all take us to the decommissioning chamber, and decommission us." replied Hoagie. "Yeah, it won't be different, girl. Just that we're all together." replied Abby, as she gave her friend a hug. "I can't believe it's this early." said Hoagie sadly. "Why did we have to turn into cruddy teens!" shouted Wally. He stomped his foot on the hard wooden floor. He made a small dent. It was Wally's birthday tomorrow, since Kuki had her's about two months ago.

"I think we should have a party, since it's our last day." smiled Hoagie. Kuki sadly grinned, while Abby slowly stood up. She went into the kitchen to get some popcorn, while Hoagie grabbed a couple of DVDs. Wally and Kuki sat down on the couch, awkwardly. Silence filled the room.

"So, happy birthday Wally." smiled Kuki. Wally looked straight at her. "Kooks. I don't want to be decommissioned." he said sadly. "So, do all of us. But we have to. We can't betray the KND." replied Kuki, she scooted closer to him. "I'll give you your present later on." winked Kuki, while Wally's heart almost stopped. They were now facing each other. Their eyes were on both of each other. "Kooks, I got something-.." began Wally, when Abby strolled into the room with two bowls of Popcorn. Hoagie quickly walked in behind Abby. He was holding a bundle of DVDs.

"Take your pick." he smiled, as he dumped the content onto the floor. All of them sat down on the red rug, that was in front of the television. Kuki picked a Chick Flick, which Wally said he'll fall asleep threw. Hoagie picked a Comedy, and Abby picked a Horror. Wally held up two DVDs which were both Action. "Wally, we can't watch that.. It's an 18 rated." said Kuki, while pointing at the one he was holding. "But, it has lots of blood and crud in it." smiled Wally. He had gotten over his fear of blood last year, after watching a squirrel be squished by a car. Abby rolled her eyes. "Abby thinks we should watch the Horror first, so Kuki won't be scared before she goes asleep." stated Abby, while she placed the DVD into the television. All of them immediately ran towards the couch. Abby slowly made her way to it, as she pinched some popcorn from Kuki. "So, Wally what were you saying?" whispered Kuki. Wally blushed, as all of them sat in the dark. "Em.. That I can't wait for your present." grinned Wally. Hoagie made kissy faces at them, and Abby smacked him with her hat. "Shush, it's starting.." she said.

After two hours, Kuki was on the edge of her seat. She was moving her body forwards and back, while gripping her knees to her face. "Kooks, are you okay?" asked Wally, as he stared at her face. She slightly blinked, but did not move. "Time for Action." said Hoagie. He placed the DVD in, but it jammed in the DVD player. "Hoagie, what you do?" asked Abby, a bit annoyed. She sat down beside him, and tried to fix it. "You broke it.." said Abby. Her face was hard, and irritated. "Sorry." said Hoagie slowly.

Kuki stood up, and walked towards the door. She quietly opened it, while the others were shouting at Hoagie. She slid out, and went to the balcony outside, which viewed the beautiful stars.

"I hope you're okay, Nigel." smiled Kuki sadly. A small tear rolled down her cheek. "We were suppose to stay together, forever.. Why didn't our future kids warn us? We could have had more time." she said to herself. She lay her elbows on the wooden ledge. She took in a long breath. "Because, it would have changed the future." said a voice behind her. She jumped, and turned towards him. "Wally.. You scared me." she said while grinning. "Sorry." he replied. He blushed a little, as he stood beside her. "I'm guessing you wanted to get out of that room.." said Wally. Kuki nodded. "Aren't the stars beautiful." smiled Kuki, while her eyes glistened, like the stars in the sky.

"You're beautiful.." whispered Wally. "What?" asked Kuki. She stared at him, as he blushed some more. "I said they cruddy are." said Wally, while wiping sweat off his brow. "Hey you two? Don't you wanna see the movie?" asked Abby. She came onto the balcony, and stood watching beside Kuki. "You missing him too.." said Abby. Both of them sadly nodded.

"I can't believe it's been an year without him." said Kuki. Abby held Kuki into a hug. Wally simply stared up at the stars, knowing he shouldn't look at this private moment. "And I can't believe we're the last ones. Ai was first, the Jason, then Patton, then Rachel, and then Fanny." said Kuki. Wally laughed at the memory. "Fanny, never stopped fighting, not until they strapped her down into the seat. She bit her brother, and spat at the new Soopreme Leader." said Wally. All of them laughed.

Hoagie slowly walked up behind them. He was still holding his bowl of Popcorn. "Hey, guys look it's a shooting star." smiled Hoagie. He pointed at the bright sparkly star, that whizzed by them. All of them made a wish. For their friend to come back to them.. They all smiled, while standing beside each other. "Good luck buddy. I hope I get to see you." laughed Hoagie, while he talked to himself. Abby nodded her head. "Let's get the movies over with, so we can go to bed." suggested Wally. Abby nodded her head. All of them left the balcony, and went back to the movies.

Somewhere else…

"Thanks Wishina. I didn't knew you could do that.." said a voice. The boy was tall, he still was bald. The girl that was floating in front of him, nodded her head. "I didn't even knew I could do that either." laughed the girl, she then floated away. "Nigel, you shouldn't have done that.." stated a girl. "Why not Claudia?.." asked Nigel. "It's Numbuh 44H3 to you!" shouted Claudia. She leaned on the wall, while being angry. "You never answered my question." said Nigel, he stood at the large window, that sat in the top floor of the Galactic Kids Next Door Base. "Because.. It can change the future. What if you were suppose to stay here forever, and you just mixed up the timeline. Plus it's against rules." said Claudia, with a scowl on her face. "But I know my future, and something told me to do this. So if you don't mind, please stay out of my way." replied Nigel, he turned around. He was about to walk away, when something Claudia said made him stop. "I'll miss you, if you leave." she said quietly. Nigel faced her again. "What?.. Really?" he asked. She blushed lightly. She slowly walked by him, with a little scowl on her face. She reminded him a little of Numbuh 86. "Yes.. I've liked you since the second you arrived here." she said. She then kissed him on the lips. As Nigel stood there shocked, Claudia quickly left the room. It was too much for her.. He was leaving in three years, and he didn't even knew it.

I finished it! Well, the second last chapter. This will follow onto the next story, If only you could remember me. Sorry if it's short, but I couldn't think of anything else.. So here it is.
