Color of faith

by William-1rstson

This is a fic for a fanfiction challenge I agreed to a while earlyer it will soon be finished and eventually handed it. It's a 5Heinie and 5Hoagie love triangle. It may contain 86362 too. It's an end of the world kind of fic.

1. One caramel, two caramels

Chapter one: One caramel, two caramels

One Caramel, two, three, four- "Five, why won't you play with us today, are you ok?" Said Numbuh three, the most oblivious of all, holding a box of cereal she looked like she was planning to eat. Nigel didn't look too amused that numbuh three considered a routinely checkup of parks they needed to do a game.

"Because; Numbuh five needs to say behind and watch the tree house. But dun worry, she'll be just fine." She replied nonchalantly yet knowingly. The girl was too happy not to make anyone else just glad.

"But that's boring, it's numbuh four that likes boring stuff, not you!" She said smiling her knowing smile. She seemed to live convinced that the world was much sweeter then it really was. It would really hurt to see that innocence taken away, ever. After Numbuh five smiled again she added. "Ooh can't we stay and have a tea party as well?" Numbuh One was about to go into right-rant mode so Numbuh Five was to 'save the day'.

"Have you noticed Numbuh Two isn't going either?" She said; the girl looked around and noticed Numbuh Two was not in sight. "He's doing the REALLY boring stuff! In fact, numbuh Five downright pities him, he says he won't get out of his room in all day." She said and confused the Asian girl a little. "Tell you what, numbuh three, Numbuh five's gonna play with numbuh two while you're gone." She smiled at her and put her hand over Numbuh three's shoulder, leading her to the exit. When numbuh three left, and his team followed, Numbuh five sat down again, and looked into her bag of caramels.

'What is it about these caramels that makes numbuh five so uneasy?' She thought, poking the around and taking one between her thumb and forefinger. The taste? No, Caramels taste like caramels no matter where or when. The colors? No, she had ones just like these last week. Maybe it wasn't the caramels at all, maybe it was what they represented. "Numbuh Five don't need none o' that!" She muttered disdainfully as she pondered a past that would never return. A past that was missing and destroyed, like the The Fifth Number was missing from this bag of caramels. 'Ah well, no need to go back to the past if it ain't for nothing good.' She thought as she ate the rest.

"Are they good, me hearty?" Asked a sour voice behind her, dripping with sugar, making her jump.
