Author's note: I loved writing this chapter X-D, once I started typing it, I became obsessed. This is the last but one chapter.

When he saw that the teen was successfully preoccupied by the rest of the team, Wally ran over to where Kuki was tied.
She looked up when he got near her and her eyes brightened; she beamed with relief and happiness.
"Wally!" She yelled.
"Shh," He put his finger to his mouth. Turning to check that the teen hadn't noticed. Then he began tugging at the tight knot tied next to Kuki.
"I can't believe you guys found me." She said in a lower voice.
"Of course we did! We just followed the feathers from that pansy's headdress." He said, smiling up at her.
"You got here real quick."
"As soon as you'd told me you'd been captured I panicked, I got everyone moving quicker than you could guess." Wally Grunted loudly and scowled as he struggled to loosen the knot on the rope.
Kuki beamed brightly and gazed at him.
"Wally, you do care!" She said in a relieved, excited tone.
"What." He stopped fiddling with the knot and looked at her with a raised eyebrow.
"I always, thought you hated me, you know because of how girly I am or how loud and hyper I get or…"
He silenced her by placing a finger on her lips.
"Kuki! I could never hate you! I mean, you're caring, kind, smart and you're just…" He didn't finish his sentence. But he moved closer to her, replacing his finger for his lips.
From the other side
Nigel looked over to check Wally's progress in the rope. His glasses nearly fell off in shock.
"Oh, Numbuh 4! Don't let your feelings slow us down!" He muttered to himself, and then dodged the huge stick which the teen swung at him.
Abby looked over and smiled. Hoagie almost burst out laughing.
The teen wondered what all the fuss was about. He turned around and snarled. Charging towards Wally and Kuki.
Back to Wally and Kuki again
Wally pulled away and waited for Kuki's reaction. She opened her eyes slowly and looked up into his, she smiled lustrously. He smiled back and started to lean in again.
Kuki began to lean forward too. She glanced over towards the teen, seeing him dashing towards them.
"Wally!" She shrieked. He turned around just in time and dodged the smack of the teen's weapon. The teen raised the stick again, this time aiming for Kuki. She screamed in distress. Wally jumped back in just in time, grabbing the end of the stick.
The teen roared and held the stick up horizontally. Wally still clung to it. Both boys were tugging madly at the stick, trying to confiscate it from one another. The rest of the Kids Next Door ran over, stopping dead in their tracks when they saw them struggling.
"Should we help?" Hoagie asked Nigel frantically.
Nigel shook his head.
"This is Numbuh 4's fight now. If things get out of hand we'll help him out."
The teen kicked Wally in the stomach, sending him flying. He crashed into the side of the pole Kuki was still tied to. Hearing her shriek his name in horror only made Wally more determined. He tripped the teen as he walked closer towards him and dived on top of him.
Unfortunately, the teen was much stronger than him. He rolled them so that he was over Wally and out of his grass skirt, he pulled out a knife. Holding it to Wally's neck.
Wally strained with all his might to push the knife away. Abby dived at the teen, pushing him off Wally. Nigel and Hoagie also got involved. They ran over and grabbed the huge stick and confiscated the knife. Making the teen now harmless.
"No! Please don't kill me man!" The teen pleaded.
"Give us one reason why we shouldn't!" Nigel threatened to him. "You kidnapped a member of our team, and then you tried to kill us!"
The teen's eyes widened.
"Lucky for you, we don't do grotesque things like that!" Nigel said to him, throwing away.
"W…What are you going to do to me?"
"We don't know yet. We'll probably take you back to Moonbase, they'll have some idea what to do with you."
"Or…" Kuki said brightly. "He could help out with whatever we decide to do with this island."
The teen looked back at Nigel and nodded. "I want to stay here on this island man! It's my home."
Nigel thought for a moment. "Hmm, we still need to decide what to do with this island."
"Isn't anyone going to untie me?" Kuki remarked, she was still knelt down and tied to the pole.
Wally grabbed the knife and chopped the rope with it. Kuki stood up and wrapped her arms around his neck. He hugged her back. Sniffing in the scent of watermelon shampoo.
He picked her up and swung her around. She giggled as he did so. When they stopped spinning around they moved closer together and shared a sweet kiss.
"Guys!?" Nigel reminded them all. "Anybody have any idea what to do with this island?"
Kuki jumped up and down excitedly. "Oh, oh, I have an idea!!"
