A/N: Finally, last chapter. Thanks for the great reviews. FrankandJoe3, an Ascot is kind of like a neck scarf, think Fred Jones from Scooby doo X-P, and Laurie43, the other chapter you asked about Yllaw, it was Wally that they'd seen and presumed that it was Yllaw, sorry I confused you X-D.

Kuki coughed as Wally tried to break open the door.

"Wally! What about that one?" Kuki called over the crackling of the flames, the flames had gotten into the room. Kuki was stood against the opposite wall where Wally had placed her away from the flames which had covered about half of the room.

Wally looked over to the door to the stairs. He ran to it and crashed his body against it a couple of times.

"Wally!" Kuki screamed as apart of the ceiling above him fell. He backed into the door and turned his face away, holding his arm at face level as it crashed to the floor.

The flame of the wooden bar that had fallen died down, he looked up at Kuki who ran and wrapped her arms around him. He panted and pulled away from Kuki, turning and giving another push at the door. It worked and gave way. Wally smiled and grabbed Kuki's hand and pulled her up the stairs.

They got up to the next level and ran into one of the rooms, Wally opened a window and stepped aside for Kuki to get out of it. Kuki did so and stood on the branch as Wally jumped out. He pushed her gently to indicate for her to carry on. Kuki did so, she held out her arms to gain her balance as she walked along the branch carefully, Wally followed her and did the same.

Kuki tried to climb down but lost her confidence because she was so high up.

"Come on." Wally told her as she sat on the end of the branch.

"I'm scared. We're so high." She whimpered.

Wally sighed and climbed down to the next branch down, then held his arms out for Kuki. She copied him and felt much safer when Wally held her when she was within arms reach. They did this all the way down while Wally told her all about Ikuk taking her place to trick Ace and how he ended up there, they finally got to the bottom. Kuki smiled when she crouched from the last branch and playfully leapt into his arms, making him grunt an 'oooff' noise as she took him by surprise.

Kuki giggled and hugged him tightly. He rolled his eyes at her. "Come on, you're mum will want to see you."

She ran home with Wally power walking a fair few steps behind. Kuki ran into her house.

"Mum!" She yelled, running into the living room.

Genki was sat on the couch, Ace was sat opposite, comforting her. She looked at her daughter in conflict of whether it was her or not.

"Kuki? Is that you?" Genki asked, standing up.

Ace stood up too and looked at Kuki with shock and worry. "I...It can't be her Mrs Sanban, I saw the tree house burn down...It has to be that other girl."

"No Ace!" She shouted, pulling down a part of her sweater to reveal the birthmark on her shoulder.

"Kuki!" Genki cried, throwing her arms around her.

Ace went to walk out of the door just as Wally walked in. Wally gave an angry glare and blocked the door.

"Going somewhere?" Wally asked him harshly. Ace tried to push him out of the way but Wally wouldn't budge. He grabbed Ace's collar and walked to glance into the living room, where he saw Genki and Kuki happily reunited. He smiled and decided that they needed some time together, so dragged Ace out.

"That other girl isn't a bad person mum! She was trying to help. It was Ace who took me in the first place." Kuki explained.

"So that poor girl was put into jail when she was trying to do good?" Genki asked. Kuki gasped.

"She was put in jail?" She exclaimed.

Genki nodded. "Ace called for the police and took her."

"I've got to go and get her!" Kuki

She ran out of the door and up towards the TND cells, she knew that that's where Ace would have taken her. On the way she bumped into Bobby.

"Kuki!" He exclaimed, "you're back! Are you okay?"

"Oh, Bobby, thank goodness you're here! Negative Numbuh 3's not a bad person! She's been put in the cells, or in jail or..." Kuki panted.

"Really?" Bobby asked. Then smirked. "Well it's a good job I got her out then."

Ikuk came out from behind him and smiled.

"-3!" Kuki squealed, pulling her into a tight hug. "But...you got her out?...How?...Why?"

"Don't you remember when we had a mission together on your first day as an operative?" Bobby laughed. "I was the one who fell in the pond just when we finished."

Kuki remembered then suddenly began to laugh. "That was you?...Oh my gosh I remember! I never even realised!"

"And you're answer to the other question...When I got to know Ikuk, I knew that she couldn't do everything that Ace accused her of. She's not that bright."

"Hey!" Ikuk laughed, playfully slapping him then gripping onto his arm and hugging it.

"Oh my...are you two...?" Kuki asked, pointing at them and beaming with disbelief. They both nodded.

Wally soon walked down and grabbed Kuki from behind, making her jump and squeal. Wally chuckled.

"Wally, I don't know where Ace went he was in the house but..." Kuki informed him.

Wally shook his head and laughed. "After teaching him a little lesson, I escorted him to the cells and made sure that he couldn't get out. Numbuh 362 put Fanny in charge of him, he's got no chance."

Kuki giggled and turned to face him, hugging him tightly.

"Well, I'd better go home." Kuki told them, then turned to Wally. "Come with me?"

Wally shrugged and nodded, then took her hand and walked her to her house. Kuki let go of his hand and opened the door. "Mum, I'm back." She called.

Genki walked in and smiled. "Well, I think you should say goodbye to Wally and we'll talk about the marriage tomorrow, if you want to go through with it."

Wally sighed sadly and glanced at Kuki.
"I want Wally to stay while we talk about it." Kuki said quietly.

Genki looked at her in confusion. "Okay, fine."

Wally stood in the hallway as Genki walked into the living room and Kuki followed. She'd gotten about halfway into the living room before noticing Wally wasn't with her, she turned and beckoned him with her hand. He did as she asked and walked in and sat by her.

"I don't think I should be involved in this." He whispered to her.

Kuki quickly grabbed his hand and gave it a subtle squeeze. "I want you to be here when I tell her."

"Tell her what?" Wally asked as she released his hand and placed her own in her lap.

"Oh, dear. Ace played me for a fool." Genki scowled as she sat down.

Kuki smiled, "he lied to all of us mum."

"I'm sorry Kuki, when I think about what might of happened..." Genki fretted.

"But it didn't." Kuki assured her. "Thanks to Ikuk...and Wally." Kuki smiled at him.

Genki nodded at Wally gratefully, then turned back to Kuki. "So, I'm guessing you want the wedding called off after all that's happened."

Kuki nodded. "Sorry mum. I didn't want to disappoint you but..."

"It's okay dear." Genki told her. "We can either prospone the wedding until you're a bit older or we can find you someone else another time. And make sure that he's appropriate for you."

"Actually mum." Kuki sighed. "I don't want an arranged marriage. Can't we just go into modern times?"

Wally looked away from the two. He would have walked out the room and left the two females to it if he hadn't sensed Kuki's need for him to be there with her for confidence.

"Sweetheart, we just want you to be happy." Genki told her, standing up and looking out of the window. "We only wanted you to get married to save you from heartbreak."

"If I get married I'd be heartbroken." Kuki replied. "Mum...I think I'm in love."

Genki groaned. "Kuki...you're thirteen. You can't..."

"I didn't think that I could get married at thirteen...I've been in love since I was like ten!" Kuki told her mother, who was still looking out off the window. She looked at Wally and held onto his arm. He looked at her and smiled. "He's sweet...and funny...and brave...and..."

Genki turned around to see the two staring into each others eyes. She sighed. Wally and Kuki looked at her.

"You don't have to worry about her heart being broken Mrs Sanban." Wally smiled. "I'd die before I let that happen. Anyway, I'd be too scared to, have you seen Mr Sanban in a bad mood?"

Genki smirked at his cheeky remark. "You know Kuki, I always hated my mother for trying to rule my life...go out and live yours."

Kuki beamed. "Thanks mum."

"Now come on," Genki told her. "It's three o'clock in the morning. You'd better get some sleep.

Kuki saw Wally to the door.

"Well, I'll see you tomorrow Wally. Thanks so much for everything." Kuki smiled, leaning against the doorway.

Wally smirked, his cheeks going pink. "No problem, you're worth it."

Kuki giggled and blushed.

"Do I get a kiss goodnight or what?" Wally asked.

Kuki laughed. "You're getting too cocky."

"Hey, I'm happy. You're back, you're not getting married, and now, the girl I've had a major crush on for three years has told me she loved me."

"Really?" Who was that?" Kuki asked with a raised eyebrow and a huge smile.

Wally stared at her and smiled. "So do I get that kiss or what?"

Kuki giggled and reached out, grabbing the scruffs of his hoodie and pulling him towards her, she took a step forward and pressed her lips against his.

When they broke about three seconds later. Wally smiled and wrapped his arms around her, holding her close.

"Wow, what a first kiss." Kuki sighed.

Wally laughed. "There's more where that came from."

He leant down and pecked her on the lips, and again, until her lips caught his and the were kissing again in the doorway.

"Wow, I'd better go." Wally said as he broke the kiss and began to make his way up the path.

Kuki looked upset for a minute. "What? Why are you rushing off? Was it a bad kiss?"

Wally looked back at her and shook his head rapidly. "No, it's just that your mum's watching us from the window."

Kuki looked over and Wally was right, the curtain just fell down as Genki rushed away from it. Kuki sighed and rolled her eyes.

"Night."

"Can't I convince you to stay?" Bobby asked hopefully, early the next morning. They were stood outside Wally's pool.

"I can't leave Ynnaf alone with Mrs Crabbe." Ikuk laughed.

Bobby thought, then smiled. "Bring her back here, we'll find somewhere where you can both live."

"Really? Like where?" Ikuk smirked at him.

Bobby thought. "Well...there's er...um..."

"We're rebuilding the treehouse." Wally said as he walked up behind them, his arm around Kuki's hip. "We could add in an extra room for you both."

"You mean it?" Ikuk asked. "It won't be any trouble will it?"

Wally shrugged. "Why not, it's Hoagie's job to build it, not mine."

They laughed and Bobby and Ikuk jumped into the pool to get Ynnaf, leaving Wally and Kuki alone together.

Wally sat on the deck chair and Kuki sat with him, cuddled up to him.

"Well, guess this is a happy ending." Kuki stated.

Wally chuckled. "Are you kidding? We're thirteen, we've only just past beginning"
