It had been a tough week without Nigel. Abby had to take full control, which meant that she was less interested in hanging around with Hoagie (much to his disgust).
Kuki had gone a little quieter but was still hyperactive bouncing around Wally and irritating him.
It had been 6 days after Nigel left. The KND woke up and ate in silence; these were the days they hated, especially when it involved a member of their own sector. Abby had turned thirteen, she had only half an hour before Numbuh 86 came to decommission her, this was just enough time for her goodbyes.
She took Kuki to a corner first, Kuki had tears flowing down her face like a giant waterfall, Abby calmed her down and held back the tears of her own.
"Look girl, you're the only girl in the sector now, so it's your job to stop them from killing each other you got that!" Abby said sounding as cheerful as she could. Kuki gulp and nodded before pulling Abby into a huge bear hug.
Hoagies goodbye was a lot more awkward for Abby; neither knew what to say to each other they stood in near enough silence with the odd conversation on duties and responsibilities.
"Well, see ya soon, fatso." Abby sighed playfully as she made her way over to Wally, Hoagie grabbed her hand only to realise what he had done and drop it, she looked at him sadly and kissed him on the cheek, then walked away.
Wally, she was surprised to know, wasn't putting on his tough guy act; he was just acting extremely uncomfortable, fidgeting and looking only down at his shoes. Abby gave him a hug and signalled towards Kuki with a glance, "You look after her," Abby started, "If you want her to know, you'll have to tell her soon. Or else you'll miss your chance, like me." She glanced at Hoagie as she said this, who was looking at her longingly, wishing that they had more time together.
"Time's up Teenager!" Fanny shouted as she burst through the door. "You don't know how long I've waited to get rid of you!" She whispered sharply so only Abby could hear as she led her into the KND Ship to moon base, sector V followed her.
The decommissioning was as hard as ever. Many members of KND came to moonbase to say goodbye to such a good operative. Hoagie, Wally and Kuki sat on the huge stage where there was a giant red machine, the decommissioner. Abby reached out and lightly squeezed Kuki's hand to reassure her, Kuki of course was in tears.
Abby motioned towards her to Wally, telling him to calm her. He put his arm around her shoulder and pulled her closer to him, her arms flung around his waist and she buried her head into his hoodie. Abby slightly smiled as Wally looked up, she then nodded towards Hoagie who was sitting staring into space looking totally lost, not even noticing her simple hug that she gave him as she was dragged past.
Wally smiled weakly and shook his head as he rested his free hand on Hoagie's shoulder, this made Hoagie jump out of his trance, he quickly looked at Wally with a shocked expression and then darted his head towards the decomssioner which Abby was now in, he could see her face in the window, she was staring at him with sorrow, he gazed back sadly.
Fanny had enough of this, she turned the decomissioner on and Abby's screams could be heard throughout the room. Hoagie buried his head in his hands, trying to think of something else to prevent himself having a panic attack. Kuki tightened her grip on Wally and nuzzled closer to his body so that her head was pressed against his chest. Wally bit his lip, trying his best to put on a brave face for the other two.
Abby walked out of the decomissioner looking dazed and confused, she was led out by a younger KND member. She couldn't remember any of her team mates. Hoagie was heart broken; she looked at him like he was from another world. She had gone and would never remember about the great fun they had all had together...
Dear Bunny
Abby has been decommissioned today so I've lost another best friend.
(sigh) It's Wally's 13th in two months, and It's not his birthday present that I'm worrying about.
