Chapter 23
Valentine's Day
A soft breeze flew through the air. A chill spread up Wally's spine. His snores were heard from his bedroom. The sun shone through his curtains, knowing it would annoy him much more. "Cruddy sun." he moaned. He turned in his bed, and slept on the other side. A few loud steps were heard running up the stairs. "Wally!" cried Joey, while banging on his big brother's door. He was now four. Five in a couple of weeks. The boy who was nearly thirteen groaned louder. "Joey, please annoy mum." he shouted. But the small boy kept hitting it. "If you don't stop that, I'll cruddy throw you from my window." he shouted. Joey giggled, and opened the door. He threw a dodge ball at his brother's head, and Wally immediately sprung up and ran towards him. Their mother sat in the kitchen, drinking coffee. "Boys." she said, as she blew the steam away from the beverage.
"Green.. Or purple?" said Kuki in the mirror. She was picking out her outfit for today. Today was going to be a special day. She squealed with excitement. She placed a green top over a pair of black skinny jeans. She looked really pretty, with her hair pinned back with a black hair band. Her pierced ears could be seen, with little dolphin shaped studs. Her sister and Sandy were playing a Kingdom game, or whatever it was called these days. Kuki admired her figure in the mirror. She looked perfect for today. She was going to give Wally a valentine's card, and gift. She just couldn't wait to see the joy in his eyes once again. The gleam that flicks back and forth. She couldn't wait. She picked up the wrapped gift, and danced around the room with it. Her father called her down, before going to work. She had to get breakfast, before she left for the tree house. Today was going to be a busy day.
Since Nigel had left almost a year ago, Abby stood at the command board. No missions today. She touched the sunglasses, that she swore she would never wear. The only person to wear them was Nigel, he was the true leader, not her. Hoagie stared at Abby. She has been a little bit antisocial since Nigel left. He touched her shoulder. "C'mon, I have something for you." he smiled. She slightly smiled. Hoagie dragged her towards the kitchen, where a small parcel stood on the counter. "What's that?" she asked. "I thought since you've been feeling low, I would get something nice for ya." he replied. She excitedly opened the parcel. A weird looking plant stood inside, with a purple and red flowers which were blooming. "Where did you get this?" she asked. "Well, I had a little bit help." he winked, while he pointed towards the ceiling. "He sent this?" she asked. Hoagie nodded. She smirked. "Help me get this to my room." she replied. They both carried the heavy plant towards Numbuh 5's tree house room.
Wally's communicator beeped. He looked, and saw he got a incoming call from Numbuh 86. "You better get up!" she screamed, when she saw his room in the background. "Why?" he groaned. "Because we have to assess you at the Moon Base." she lied. She was only doing this, since Ai asked nicely before she disappeared. "Fine!" he shouted. "Don't shout at me, ya Stoopid boy. We'll pick you up from the tree house." she replied, while hanging up. "I really hope she stubs her toe today… And stands on a bit of lego!" he protested. He laughed when he imagined her face. "Serves ya right.. Cruddy girl." he said to the empty room. He pulled his orange hoodie towards him. He better get up and dressed.
Kuki whistled a joyful tune. Hoagie and Abby were playing a video-game, as the hamsters were partying down stairs. "Hey Numbuh 3." smiled Abby. She didn't take her eyes off the video-game. "I'm winning!" screamed Hoagie. A loud crash was heard, and Abby smirked. "Numbuh 5 has just creamed ya!" she shouted. He pouted, and then restarted the game. A loud bang was heard. A door had been slammed, and a grumpy Wally walked in. "Stoopid Numbuh 86 and her assessments." he moaned. He stomped his feet as he walked. "She's not even here!" he shouted. "Em, Wally are you alright?" asked Kuki. "Yeah, just Numbuh 86 being cruddy and telling me to come here." he said, while turning his head to the window. "Numbuh 86?.. She's packing for her vacation. She's going to Ireland for a week." replied Hoagie. "But, she told me to be here.." said a angry Wally. "Numbuh 4, you just got messed with." stated Abby coolly. "Anyway, we need to discuss the upcoming missions." said Abby, as she returned back to her serious state. "The Delightful Children have gone missing, and I think they are up to something.. Anyway Father has some new kids, The Posh And Polite Teenagers From Paris, they are cousins of the Delightful Children." commanded Abby. She pressed a button on the viewing-screen, and a picture of the teenagers came up. "They look like a couple of brats to me." stated Wally furiously. His fists clenched, while he stared at the rich quadruplets. He was obviously still mad at Fanny too. "Well, we will discuss the full plan later. Right now, we have a team watching them. Everyone go back to what you were doing." replied Abby. Wally shrugged his shoulders and walked down the corridor. Kuki sat on a bean-bag chair, and grabbed a book from the book-shelf. Abby and Hoagie resumed their video-game.
Wally strolled by Kuki's room, while whistling. One of the hamsters flew underneath his legs, and hid in Kuki's room, with his Soda. "You little!" he shouted. He ran after he hamster, as it laughed. Four more jumped out from the corners of the room, and squirted him with the juice. "You're just wasting it now!" he shouted. He made a grab at a brown hamster with grey spots, but it jumped and ran out the room. The rest followed. Wally shook his wet hair. He didn't notice before, but he was in Kuki's room.. The girl he's had a crush on since he laid his eyes on her. If only he could tell her how he felt.. But she would probably laugh at him. He stared around the room. Maybe he could find some clues to know how she really feels..
He closed the door quietly, and went through the drawers. Hair-bands, crayons, pens, toys, underwear.. He blushed when he held up a pair of pink frilly underwear.
The door-knob rattled, and Wally jumped. He pushed the drawer shut silently and slid underneath the pink bed. Kuki strolled in. She sang the Rainbow Monkey tune. Wally lay still. "I wonder if Wally will like my present." said Kuki. She sat on the bed. "Since it's Valentine's day.. I bet he hates me.. Ever since our kids have came to this time, he's been acting strange around me." she sighed.
But I don't, thought Wally. I love you. His mind was going to explode. How could she think he hated her. Even though he has been a bit strange with her, it's only because he'll either embarrass himself, or just blush. "-.. It'll be like Christmas all over again.. He'll just give me French fries, and I'll just pretend I love them, but I will feel disappointed." said Kuki. Wally snapped out of his trance. He had missed half of the conversation. Kuki was currently talking to one of her toys. "Numbuh 3!" shouted Hoagie. Kuki jumped off the bed, and hid the present in her drawer. She stopped, when she saw a shadow coming from the bed. "Who goes there?" she asked. Wally remained silent. "I can see you! I'll count to three before I whip your ass!" she stated. Wally gulped. The dig was up. He'll have to pretend he didn't hear her saying she liked him. A loud bang was heard, Kuki sprinted from the room towards the noise. A few groans could be heard. "Toiletnator not again." shouted Abby. "Yes, it is I the Toiletnator! I have come to fight Numbuh 4!" shouted the Toiletnator. Wally slid out from under the bed. He dusted his jeans off. "For fuck sake!" he shouted. Wally ran towards the Toiletnator, who was in the living room area. "This time I will beat the cruddy snot out of you. And I don't care if you're my Uncle!" he shouted. They both engaged in a loud brawl.
"Wally, are you okay?" asked Kuki. Wally was lying on the couch, with a blooded head. The Toiletnator however was knocked out cold, and a team of medics were carrying him out of the Tree house. They were taking to the Arctic Prison. "Yeah, just got a headache. Hey, Hoagie will you do me a favour and drive me somewhere?" asked Wally. Hoagie shrugged his shoulders. "Got nothing better to be doing." he replied. Hoagie grabbed hold of Wally's shoulders, and sort of half dragged him, half helped him across the room towards the aircraft outside.
"I still don't get why you want to go to the jewellers?" wondered Hoagie. "I'll tell you later. Right now I need to get a present." said Wally quickly, while blushing. He ran in the jewellery store, and chosen a necklace. It was placed inside a green box with a pink ribbon on top. He smiled, and paid the woman, the right amount. Hoagie stared at the box, with wide-eyes. "Let me guess… You forgot it was Valentine's day?" said Hoagie. Wally nodded his head, and ran towards the Candy store. He bought a cheap box of chocolates, which was in a pink heart-shaped box. He sprinted back to the ship, out of puff. "Here mate. A woman was giving them out free." smiled Hoagie. He handed him a bright red rose. Wally nodded, and closed the door behind him. They both sat down, and the ship soon took off.
Kuki was busy standing at the balcony. The sun was getting lower, as the clouds moved. Wally cleared his voice, which made Kuki almost jump out of her skin. (And nearly over the banister.) She was wearing a pink flower hair-piece in her long black hair. Her eyes shone in the sun. Wally gulped. "Happy Valentine's day." he said quietly. He held a blush. Kuki stared down at the gift. She grinned. "Same to you." she handed him a box. The both wrapped theirs at the same time. Kuki gasped, when she saw the silver heart-shaped necklace, the chocolates and the rose. Wally stared down at his. He had a black t-shirt with his favourite band on it, and a photo. Inside the photo was a picture of Kuki and him, when they were in Kinder garden. He closely stared into it, and in the background he could see Ben waving, Sophie yelling at him and Kimi trying to catch a butterfly. He chuckled. "This is great Kooks. Thanks." he smiled. Kuki couldn't held in her happiness. She threw her arms around him, and gave him a hug. Wally gladly embraced it. He hugged her back. Both of them surprised, and blushing.
