So I hope you all liked the last chapter. I enjoyed it. Only problem if you ask me is it's starting to sound like Wally likes Kuki, when really I intended for him to just 'Want' her. Oh well. Let's just make it that he likes Kuki because he hates Ace. There, that'll work. Now it's that time again. Time to open up my mailbag!
numbuh 13m : ARE YOU AUSTRALIAN! Lol, alright, I don't want you and YellowMakesMeHappy16 to get into a fight over how Australians speak. Can't we just agree that Australians have adorable accents whether they say sheila or not ^-^'
imasmurf93 : Chillax, she'll realize it soon enough...with some encouragement from Sector V...old and new. OH DANG IT! I just gave it away. Stupid spoilers :(
yougotburned : My loyal reviewer 3 Yup, I just love making Ace ruin everything ^^ I'm so evil!
Now, time for the story!
Chapter Eight: They Remembered?
Kuki laid on her bed and stared up at the ceiling. Her alarm to get ready for school rang nearly ten minutes ago, but she had too much on her mind to actually get ready. 'Why do I have to feel this way about Wally. It's Ace I like, NOT Wally. But, when Ace kisses me, I don't get the same feeling. Ugh! I hate Wally!' Kuki sighed and crushed the pillow over her head. She couldn't stand it anymore, these feelings, that look, it was all driving her insane.

The alarm clock on the nightstand began to buzz and Nigel turned it off. He rubbed his eyes and looked for his glasses. Sure they may look like sunglasses, but in truth, Nigel had bad eyesight and just used prescription sunglasses instead of clear lenses, he looked cooler that way. (A/N: I kinda stole that idea from somebody else, I can't remember who sorry, but it sounded cool and made sense so I'm using it ^^) He couldn't seem to find them on his nightstand so he leaned off the bed and tried searching the space between his bed and nightstand for them. He went to sit back up but instead he wound up bashing the back of his skull on the corner of the nightstand.
Nigel black out for a second and when he regained consciousness he looked around the room and looked at the tree in his wall, memories flooding back into his head.
- "Hold on, KND?" Nigel pulled out his cell phone and called Rachael. "Hey babe, I have a few questions. What do you know about the Kids Next Door?" The other end of the line went silent and Nigel knew there was something going on.
- Rachael sighed and took a deep breath. "Meet me before school starts, I'll explain everything." Nigel nodded and got dressed for school.

Abby had eventually given up on fighting off her sister's advances in making peace.
"Fine. I'll come with you to one self defense class alright. We'll hang out, get something to eat afterward, and maybe we can go shopping. Only if it'll get you off of Abby's back." Cree smiled and grabbed her sister by the arm, dragging her to her car.
The two sister got to the self defense class and Cree introduced Abby to her friends.
- "Guys, this is my sister Abby. Abby these are my friends." Abby smiled and waved at the large group. A boy towards the back of the room waved at Abby and she blushed. Cree grabbed Abby by the hand and dragged her towards the boy. "Abby, this is Maurice. Maurice, this is my little sister Abby, you remember her right?"
Maurice smiled and nodded. He knew Abby from the KND, but unfortunately Abby didn't remember.
- "Hello Abby." Abby blushed at Maurice and looked over towards her sister who gave her the thumbs up. Maurice frowned and went to the back room. He couldn't believe Abby was acting like this. She was not only getting along with Cree, but she was acting not only shy, but girly. What happened to her?
- Maurice walked up to Abby and dragged her away from Cree. Sure he was about to break one of the biggest and most severely punished rule in the KND, but he had to stop Cree from getting to Maurice. "Abby, don't you remember me at all? I'm Maurice. We used to be friends, don't you remember the time you got the chicken pox?"
Abby stared at him in confusion. She didn't understand what he was talking about, but he seemed so sure of himself that she almost believed him.
- "Maurice. I'm sorry, but I have no idea what you're talking about."
- Maurice sighed and grabbed Abby by her shoulders. "Yes you do Abby. Remember Nigel? And Hoagie? What about Wally and Kuki?"
- "Kuki's my best friend. And Wally's a pig and a jerk, why would I remember him? Nigel is pretty cool I guess, but he so mushy with his girlfriend Rachael it's disgusting I barely even know Hoagie."
- "How about this. Do you remember what they used to call you?" Abby stared at him, not sure what to make of what he was saying. "Numbuh 5?" Abby's eyes went wide and she looked at Maurice. "I knew you'd remember. What are you doing Abby? Hanging with Cree? I'm surprised they actually decommissioned you. I swore you of all people would have been allowed to keep your memories."
Abby smiled and pulled Maurice into a giant hug. She remembered her past, all because of Maurice.

Hoagie flipped through the channels on his TV. He wasn't really paying attention, but he like to listen. He opened up his laptop and started his essay that was due tomorrow. He was a major procrastinator, but of course he did his best work under pressure. Hoagie put his feet on the couch and started typing away.
Tommy came running down the stairs followed by Joey. They've been locked up in Tommy's room all day. Hoagie sometimes wondered what they did up there.
-"Hey Hoagie, can you make Joey and I a snack. We want sandwiches."
-Hoagie shook his head and motioned at the computer. "I'm busy. Go grab yourselves an apple or something."
-Joey made a gagging noise and pretended to vomit. "Eww, apples are for cruddy adults and teenagers." Hoagie raised an eyebrow at Joey. "Uh, except for you and Wallabee. You guys are cool. Have you ever thought of joining a sport Hoagie? I bet your school would see how cool you are if you joined a sport like my brother."
-Hoagie rolled his eyes. Joey and Tommy walked off and Tommy smiled. "Way to be Joey. Nice save though." The boys laughed and ran back upstairs to Tommy's room.
- Hoagie almost finished his essay when a Yo-yo slammed into his computer causing it to break. "Tommy! Where are you!"
- Tommy and Joey popped out from behind the other couch and smiled nervously at Hoagie. "We're sorry Hoagie. We didn't mean to break your computer. I'm so so so sorry!"
- Joey laughed and took the machine from Tommy, accidentally hitting the button again, firing another Yo-yo at Hoagie's head.
- "That's it! Give me that stupid Y.O.-Y.O.P.E.R. now!" Tommy and Joey stared at Hoagie in shock, how did he know that gadget's name? He wasn't a KND operative anymore.
- "Hoagie? How do you know about that?"
- Hoagie chuckled and stared at his little brother. "I think I'd remember something I used to build. Wait, I remember! How is that even possible!" Hoagie, Joey, and Tommy all looked confused and Tommy took out his communicator.
- "Numbuh two to moon base, Numbuh two to moon base. Hoagie P. Gilligan, codename ex-Numbuh two, has regained all memories of his KND experiences. What should we do?"
I'm just going to leave it like this for now. There's a reason Kuki and Wally don't remember. That would just ruin the story alright. Let's just see how things go ok^^
