THE HORROR MOVIE...

While during a mission...

''Numbuh 2! Watch out!'' shouted Numbuh 5

Too late. DCFDTL's robot caught Numbuh 2 and dragged him into their helicopter. Numbuh 4 run after him and caught the helicopter's leg before it flew away. Unfortunately, it didn't make them stop, so the helicopter began flying higher and higher. Numbuh 5 had to think quick, if she didn't want to screw their mission, so she jumped and grabbed Numbuh 4's legs. The DCFDTL wouldn't wait for long, so Numbuh 1 dropped his weapon and luckily caught Numbuh 5's leg.

''Numbuh 3! Quick! Get your rope and throw me the hook!'' - Numbuh 1 hurried her.

Numbuh 3 stood confused for a moment, but answered quickly while pulling the rope from her backpack -
''Oh, okay, but can I watch the Rainbow Monkey show afterwards?''

Numbuh 1 was already out of Numbuh 3's reach; he hit himself in forehead and yelled angrily:'' Arrgh... all right! Just quickly tie its back–end to the roof!''

Numbuh 3 nodded and threw the rope.

Numbuh 1 managed to catch it and handed it to Numbuh 5, who gave the rope to Numbuh 4. He then hooked it up to the helicopter.

''Hold on, guys!''- warned Numbuh 5.

Attached rope held down the helicopter and Numbuh 1 climbed up to get back Numbuh 2.

DCFDTL's robot however tried to tear the rope using full force, but, unknowingly to the being, that made the helicopter's system overloaded and in a couple of seconds it exploded, throwing the DCFDTL in the skies...

Numbuh 5 had the feeling of being lucky, 'cause their fall hadn't been too deadly. Numbuh 4 grinned.

''Ha! U ain't gonna beat us! Ha! Take that!'' Wally smirked and punched the air.

''Sheesh... '', Numbuh 2 sighed,'' I thought I'm doomed, when the robot caught me!''

''Nu–uh. We are not letting u down.'' Numbuh 5 patted him on shoulder.

''That's right! We're a team, remember?'' - Numbuh 1 agreed.

Numbuh 3 nodded and flashed a big smile.

''Numbuh 5 says: we better get back to the tree house and get ready for our weekly movie night!''

''Yeah!'' Numbuh 2 said showing his fist in the air.

When back in the tree house, Numbuh 1 automatically went to work, while the others got ready for movies.
Nigel was working, working and working again. Sometimes he didn't even sleep.

''Hey, why ain't u getting ready?''

''Erm... I just decided to work a little, besides, I'm not really into movies...''

''Do as u like... ur the boss.'' Numbuh 5 shrugged and walked off.

The rest of sector V watched Wally's chosen movie "Rocky 3". (Every week 2 operatives bring a movie and this time it was Numbuh 4 and 5's turn.)

Numbuh 3 was annoyed by watching such fighting scenes, so she just played with her rainbow monkey that she had taken with her.

The movie was over; guys went for a brake and got more snacks ready for 5's horror movie.

Numbuh 3 tagged Numbuh 1 on shoulder. He jumped and turned to her.

''Hey, Numbuh 1!''

''Oh, hey Numbuh 3...'' Nigel turned back to the screen.

''Come on, let's watch the Rainbow Monkey show! Remember...? – U promised.''

''Not now, Numbuh 3! Mind, I have a work to do...''

''But... u promised... '' She pleaded with a characteristic sadness in her eyes.

''Yeah, but-''

''No buts!-''

'' But-''

''NOOOOW!'' Numbuh 3's now fiery eyes didn't remain unnoticed.

Numbuh 1 shuddered and obeyed Numbuh 3, with that her eyes went back to normal.

sheesh... girls are so aggressive...

''Okay!'' she skipped to the couch and sat down between Numbuhs 4 and 5.

Numbuh 1 was bored throughout the show and was glad when it was over. He then stood up, ready to leave back to work, when Numbuh 5 stopped him.

''Where do u think, ur going, mister?''

''Err... to work...?'' he pointed at the computer.

''Nu–uh, me and Numbuh 4 are gonna do that for u. –''

''Wut? I ain't doing no cruddy work!''

''Oh, yes, u are!'' she grabbed Numbuh 4 by his ear.

''Haaay! Lemme go!'' Numbuh 4 protested.

Numbuh 1 tried to sneak off, but Numbuh 5 held him down.

''Oh, no, mister, – ur off watching TV!''

Numbuh 1 finally accepted that he had no chance, so made his way back and sank into the couch.

Ugh... all these stupid Rainbow Monkey shows... the fact that he couldn't work, drove him nuts, even though he secretly didn't hate Rainbow Monkeys all that much...

He sighed and came to a conclusion that he actually needs a brake. Though it didn't make Nigel happy - he's a workaholic, after all...

''Uh, Numbuh 3, could u please get us some popcorn?'' Numbuh 2 suggested.

''Oh-''

Numbuh 2's eyes met the TV screen. Scared, he mumbled: ''Uuuuh... I'd better get... get it myself!'' - And ran to the kitchen.

''Eh- hey, what's up with Numbuh 2!-''

Nigel's sentence was interrupted by a loud 'EEK!' He jumped and turned to Numbuh 3, freaked out by the horror movie, and her standing straight hair up (just like in the mission M.A.C.A.R.O.N.I., where Numbuh 13 broke her vase of Rainbow monkey Lisa).

''E-eh... Num- it's-'' Numbuh 1 tried to find comforting words.

Kuki grabbed his jumper and started to cry hysterically.

Numbuh 1 didn't know exactly what to do, so he slowly put his arms around her and said: ''It's ok, Numbuh 3. what happened...?''

Numbuh 3 tried to explain between sobs: ''... He... he... He killed Rainbow monkey Dorry!'' she started to cry again holding unto Nigel's jumper.

''Shush... it's okay... He'll be alright.'' Nigel looked at her worriedly and massaged her shoulder.

Numbuh 3 just kept crying.

''Uh, H-hey, look! – The big rainbow monkey is winning over the bad guy! U can watch now.'' he pointed at the screen.

''... really? Where?... ...:D '' Kuki removed her arms from Nigel and turned to the TV.

She wanted to cry out 'Yay! ', but she could still see Dorry's death before her eyes, so Numbuh 3 just watched how the big rainbow monkey wins.

A moment later she flashed a weak smile – the rainbow monkey had won. But then again, at the same moment she still remembered Dorry...;(

Numbuh 1 also kept watching the horror movie. It seemed to be pretty cool, only Numbuh 3 just wasn't ready for such harsh moments.

that's okay, He thought. But soon enough his thoughts were interrupted by Numbuh 3, herself. ...--

She screamed and started to cry again. But this time Kuki didn't run for comfort in his arms, she took off to her room.

'That must've been too much' thought Numbuh 1, eying more dead rainbow monkeys on the screen.

''Oh, well that's enough! I'll go check out what Numbuh 4 and 5 have done.''

Numbuh 1 went to the screen and saw a very unpleasant sight. – They were asleep during the work...

ASLEEP! Are u mad, wake up, so I can continue my working...!

But when Nigel tried to start the computer, he saw a sign: GO – SLEEP, left on the keyboard.

what...?o-O... 'go to sleep' ...? '' ugh… oh, fine...'' he sighed.

Numbuh 1 unwillingly left the sleepy-heads AND the computer. But he couldn't sleep... just couldn't. This just wasn't his day...

Before he went in his room and started to work on his papers or something, he decided to check on Numbuh 3. Every time something bad about rainbow monkeys came across her, she seemed to take it hard.

Numbuh 1 knocked on the door. -Nothing... maybe she's asleep... oh, well... let's just check if she's ok. He slowly entered the pink, toy crowded room of hers, but she wasn't sleeping in her bed. Actually... she wasn't even sleeping... well... she wasn't even there...!

Numbuh 1 heard a strange noise, which was followed by a sound of a creaky floor. He looked in direction of the sound and followed it. Becoming louder, it led him deep in the toy jungle and stopped at a wall... he looked directly at the corner and saw Numbuh 3 sobbing, shaking, rocking and hugging a rainbow monkey toy. Her eyes were deep. Lost and empty...

Numbuh 1 realized on the spot – the film had left a bad affection on her... He hugged Numbuh 3 and kissed her cheek. (oh the blush!) He let her regain from wandering in space, searching for answers and possibly connecting with Ramon 4... Numbuh 3 felt a sharp change in her. If someone knew how to get her back, then it was Numbuh 1. He knew how loving she actually is, so he reminded her, that she's still on this earth. At least... the body was...
Numbuh 3 finally returned to reality, shook her head and remembered, what had happened. The pain took up at hurting her. Her eyes started to water and a tear slid down her cheek. Numbuh 1 began getting worried, but was glad to have one of his operatives back. -sigh-

''It's ok, hun, it's ok. '' He soothed and waited for a moment, allowing Numbuh 3 to understand his words.

''H-hey, Numbuh 3, u see, the film... it... it was just a film. Nothing of it was real - they pretended. The rainbow monkeys actually are actors. None of them died, they just pretended...'' he was tired of it, but Kuki had to understand or else she might not be ready for their further missions, and Nigel couldn't let that happen.

Numbuh 3 revealed her hurt eyes and asked:'' Really...?''

''Eh-yeah. Rainbow monkeys like to pretend.''

''But... –''

''No, buts.''

''But…-''

''I said it!''

Numbuh 3 knew it was no use arguing anymore, so Nigel gave her a warm hug, which she returned with a big smile.

''Thanks, Numbuh 1!''

'' We're a team. Right? ;)''

Numbuh 3 flashed even a greater smile.

Nigel sighed, winked at Numbuh 3, in that way telling her to keep her chin up, and left.

Kuki smiled and went to her bed... but since Numbuh 1 had already left, the toy jungle was just freaking her out...

Numbuh 1 went to kitchen, tired from Numbuh 3 and her crying. The thought of wasting his precious time let alone made Nigel go nuts... He drank some milk, grabbed few waffles and went to his room to do paperwork. Nope, if u wonder – he still couldn't sleep... and where the hell did Numbuh 2 go! o-O...

After about 45 minutes, someone knocked on Numbuh 1's door. He quickly grabbed a weapon and slowly went into the direction of door.

What if it's a teenager, who wants to catch me off guard?

Slowly... wait for it... wait for it... now!

Numbuh 1 kicked the door open and almost jumped in surprise - the 'teenager' was just Numbuh 3.

''Err, Numbuh 3! What are u doing here this late! Didn't I tell u to go to bed?''

''But, I am going to bed... just... just... I'm scared that something bad will happen to my rainbow monkeys... can I sleep with u...:(…?''

''Err... what, no!''

Numbuh 3 looked so sad... fear practically glittered from her...

''Arrr, all right. But just this once. And please don't make any tea parties, ok?''

''Thanks, Numbuh 1!'' Kuki hugged him.

gaaah... isn't that enough hugs for today...!?

Numbuh 1 came to a thought that maybe he could finally fall asleep. He went to his bed, when Numbuh 3, out of nowhere, knocked Nigel down on the bed and laid down next to him.

''Eeh... hehe... '' - this made him embarrassed- '' Um... why don't I just sleep on the floor, and u take the bed, then?''

''Oh, sorry.''

Numbuh 1 shook his head and took few covers from his closet to sleep on.

After a few minutes he was finally asleep, but little did he know, that Numbuh 3 woke up from a terrible nightmare, took blanket from his bed and cuddled up to Numbuh 1 on the floor, where she felt safe and fell asleep dreaming about a tea party with a bunch of nice rainbow monkeys...

(me: so, um. Sorry about the spelling mistakes or anything - just let me know, since this is my first story anyway... be kind, and don't stop here - WAIT FOR THE NEXT CHAPTERS!)
