It's friday night and Numbuh 3 is preparing for her 'special assignment' from KND central command. Let's see if this party is anything but.

(Kuki's POV)

I was was looking at myself.

Will people seriously buy that I'm 13? Well, compared to the rest of my sector, I look 13.

I'm wearing my black, yellow, and white sundress that I wore to this school dance last year. I put a headband on that I found in the bottom of one of my drawers. I looked at myself in the mirror. Well, guess I'm ready as I'm going to be.

I walk out in the common area and my whole team looked at me. Their eyes went wide.

"What's going on numbuh 3?" Numbuh 121 asks me. They all looked at me, expecting an answer.

This is very secretive. I can't tell them anything.

"Nothing. Just going to be out for tonight. Numbuh 67, you're in charge while I'm gone, okay?" I say. He was giving me this weird smile before stuttering, "Ye-yes numbuh 3, you got it."

It took me until about Wednesday to see that numbuh 67 has a crush on me.

I mean, numbuh 67 is a very nice guy and everything and he's cute as far as 8 year olds go. But, HELLO! He's 8 years old! The same age as my sister! Ew, no way. It also makes me feel a little more worse because I can see that numbuh 121 likes him. I know how she feels though. I mean, I was in almost the same situation at about her age with… well, you know.

"Okay, night guys." I say and they all wave at me.

I knew exactly where Kenny Thomas lives. He and his older brother Vinny were known for throwing huge parties and never getting caught. We went on missions to try and bust up teens plotting against us at their house before.

I took my bike part way and left it at my house before walking a couple more blocks.

Then I saw it.

There were flashing lights in the windows and I could hear music blaring from outside. There was a person outside the front door and looking at everyone who passed to go in. I was nervous as I got closer. I was trying to stop myself from making a run for it as he looked at me. I sighed in relief when he nodded for me to come inside.

I can't believe it. I actually made it in!

I looked around and I saw groups of people crowding the hallways. I kept walking around feeling out of place and awkward. On one hand, nobody knew me and that was good because we went to different middle schools.

Most of the people here either go to Hendry or to the high school.

Then I almost bumped into these people that were making out in the hallway and I just barely dodged them. I looked out the back window and see A LOT of people in the back yard in the pool.

Then I walk into this room crowded with people. I felt confused. I didn't know what to do. I was surrounded on all sides.

"Hey! Kuki!" Huh? I kept looking around. "Kuki!" I heard and I couldn't believe it. Wally? He was smiling at me as he pushed people out of his way to get to me.

"Eh Kuki." He says, loud over the music. "Wally? What are you doing here?" I ask, surprised to see him. "Some of my mates dragged me here. I didn't really wanna come. What about you? I didn't know you were 13." He say.

I froze and gulped. Well, I trust him and I don't want to lie to him either.

"Um, I'm not actually. I'm almost 13 though but I just thought I'd come to see what was going on." I say half honest.

"Cool. I was gonna get a soda? Wanna get one with me?" He asks. I was nervous, but then I remembered. I just need to blend in. "Are you sure?" I ask thinking he might agree that I shouldn't have a soda because I'm not 13 yet.

"Yeah, I don't give a flyin' crud about rules. Besides that soda rule is just stupid." He says and I smile. He is still definitely the same Wally.

"C'mon." He says and grabs my hand. I can feel myself blush. He started to pull me through the crowd and looking back at me every once and a while and smiling at me. There was high school guy at the soda keg. "How many dude?" He asks. "Two." Wally yells over the music.

He gets out two red cups and fills them before handing them to Wally. "Thanks mate!" Wally yells and then hands me one.

He immediately drinks from his cup. I look at my soda. Okay, I drink soda all the time but this is the first time I drank soda at party in front of other teenagers. I took a sip and I felt this rush go through me.

Wally was smiling at me again and I couldn't stop myself from smiling back.

I felt like I was being rebellious to the adults and to the KND. I shouldn't be talking to Wally but then again… I'm at a party and numbuh 202 told me to blend in. I took another sip of soda.

Wally and I were talking and drinking our sodas as we leaned against the wall. It felt so weird how normal I felt here.

Maybe I am more of a teenager than a kid now…

When we finished out sodas, Wally put his cup on a table and leaned in close so I could hear him, but I blushed at how close we were.

"Hey Kuki, I um, uh… would you uh... wanna dance?" He stutters nervously before smiling at me. I nodded without even thinking. Wally grabbed my hand and lead me into the living room where Vinny and Kenny and actually hired a DJ for the party.

They really do go all out with parties.

We managed to get a space on the floor and start dancing. It was always so easy for me to dance with Wally. Whenever there was any kind of dance or a party, Wally and I always danced together.

Wally always liked to act tough all the time, but he was and still is a really good dancer.

It was still that way as we danced together on the dance floor now. I loved it when he would grab my hand every now and then spin me and I laughed and smiled. Everything felt so easy. I was able to forget about everything.

All I knew now was that I was having fun.

There was about a 20 second break and then a slow dance started.

I felt my hand get grabbed and I look over at Wally who was smiling nervously at me but mangaed to turn me to face him and he put his hands on my waist. My face felt like it was on fire as I mindlessly let my hands go to his shoulders.

I remembered when we busted that party 3 years ago at Father's mansion and Wally was dead against slow dancing with me, now he was the one that wanted to and that thought made me smile.

We were about 6 inches away from each other. We were just smiling at each other as we moved in our own little space on the floor.

"I'm glad I came tonight." He says. I was confused. "I thought you didn't want to come?" I say confused. He smiles shyly at me and lets out a nervous laugh before saying, "Yeah, but that was before you got here."

My face was burning but I smiled back at him.

Our eyes met and I couldn't look away. His green eyes catching whatever light was shining in the room. He kept moving closer to me. My heart was pounding in my chest. I just mirrored what he was doing.

Our lips were only an inch apart when I saw something behind Wally's shoulder.

Skip Nemo, numbuh 20,000, was looking right at me.

"Wally?" I say a little uneasy. "Wha? Yeah, what is it?" He asks me looking confused.

"Um…" I say and I saw Skip lift up his arm to reveal a laser. "Duck!" I yell and take Wally down with me as the shot was fired.

"What the crud?!" Wally says freaked out as he looked at the huge hole in the wall. Everyone was screaming as they made their way out a window or the front door. Before I knew it Wally was pushed out of the way and Skip was right in front of me. Skip Nemo, the new leader of the teen ninjas.

"Crashing parties now are you numbuh…" Then Wally comes out of nowhere and tackled him to the ground. "Wally?!" "Kuki, get outta here!" He yells at me and blocks a punch from Skip and managed to get in a punch of his own. Skip threw Wally off and got up, his nose was bleeding.

"Gotta good punch, don't you?" Skip says snidely. "Enough talking ya pile ah crud. You wanna dance?... Then let's dance." Wally says and I was a little shocked.

Well, Wally still has his ferocity. That's for sure.

"Kuki, go!" He yells at me and dodges another punch. "Wally…" "Just go, I'll be fine!" He says and manages and blocks a kick from Skip and countered it with a kick of his own.

I just sprint out as fast as I could possibly go. I just ran home.

My legs were charging me upstairs to my room. I just clutched one of my old rainbow monkeys as I laid on my bed. That was way too close back there. Skip almost blew my cover.

But then my eyes widen at something even more scary, Wally.

I just left him to fight Skip back there.

I hope he's okay. I really, really hope so…

(1 hour later)

I was about to go to sleep when I heard something outside.

"Kuki." What?

"Kuki, you there?" Wally?!

I run to my window and see Wally in my backyard. He looks up at me and grins. "Wally?" I say still totally shocked. What's he doing here? "Hey." He says still grinning at me.

"Wally, what are you doing here?" I ask out loud. "Um… I uh, I had to see if you know? If you were alright?" He asks and then I noticed he had a black eye. "Yeah, but I don't know why you're asking me. Are you okay?" I ask concerned, looking at his eye.

He lets out nervous laugh and says, "Eh, don't worry about me. A black eye won't kill me." I let out a nervous laugh too and blush a little.

He has my favorite smile on his face. "Um, Kuki?" He says. "Yeah Wally." I say, wanting to know what he was going to say. "Um, I was… I was wonderin' if you were free tomorrow night?" He asks smiling at me.

I was frozen.

"Why?" I ask. His face turned red but a nervous grin presented itself on his face. "Well, Kuki... I like you and I want to hang out with you more." He admits sheepishly. I couldn't fight it anymore. I just let a huge smile cross my face.

He likes me! He said he likes me!

How long have I pictured this moment in my head? Too long.

I look around to make sure I wasn't being watched. "I'd really like that." I say and he grins at me even more.

"C-cool. So, I'll see you tomorrow sometime?" He says. "Definitely." I say, not caring how much trouble I'd get in for doing this.

He smiles and blushes before he starts walking. I was thinking and then I just shrugged. Why not?

"Wally?" I call out quietly. He stops dead and turns around quickly. I smile shyly at him and blow him a kiss. "Night Wally." I say and I feel my face burning as I'm smiling. "N-night." He stutters back and walks away.

I saw him do a fist pump to himself and I couldn't help but giggle to myself.

Tonight may not have gone the way I thought it would. But, good things definitely came out of it.

That is definitely for sure.

Hope you guys enjoyed the chapter. Thanks for reading and please review.
