Numbuh 2's B-day
Numbuh Two awoke slowly, despite the small fox-like creature jumping on his
stomach, yelling, "Get UP, Numbuh Two! It's your birthday! Wake up!" Numbuh
2 smiled slightly. His little apprentice was so hyper today... he could
tell she was excited. Rio looked like a sweet little fox pup, only she had
mostly purple fur, pink chest fur, and white fur all over her cute little
face. To go with that, her eyes were a lovely light green, that seemed to
sparkle in the morning light. Her cute little smile, her cute, white tipped
tail, her cute, tiny nose. even her claws were cute. "Why are you so
cheerful, Rio? Calm down!" She stopped bouncing, and gave that adorable
giggle, sending chills down Numbuh 2's spine. He remembered, how she had
turned herself temporarily human so she could go to the dance with him. She
was so beautiful. A complete dream girl. Ralphie, her big brother, almost
murdered him after.He shook the thoughts from his head, and realized that
Rio, his dear pet and apprentice, was carrying him down the hall to the
kitchen, IN HIS PAJAMAS! "Rio!" He cried. "Put me down! I can walk by
myself!" Rio just grinned. "Why?" Numbuh 2 moaned. He knew this trick. She
would keep on saying 'why' until the person she was talking to went crazy.
He had learned the best thing he could do is not answer her. He let himself
get carried to the kitchen. When they reached the door, Rio said, "Close
your eyes, Numbuh 2!" Numbuh 2 did so, and seconds later, he felt himself
being set into a chair. "Open!" laughed Rio. He did, and was amazed. Rio
had laden the table with every breakfast food imaginable. In the middle was
a plate 2 feet high stacked with, his favorite, Blueberry and Walnut
waffles. "See?" Squealed Rio. "2 feet high, and you're Numbuh 2!" then she
laughed happily. "I. Rio. Thank you so much!" Numbuh 2 scooped Rio into his
arms, hugging her with a cheerful look on his face, and his face in her
fur. She laughed, and said, "Numbuh 2 happy?" He gave a Rainbow Monkey
grin. "Numbuh 2 VERY happy!" She grinned. "There's still more! But eat
first! Then, your presents!" He happily complied. After he was done, he saw
Rio was carrying a 2-foot pile of presents for him. She was also dragging
the KND and her 9 brothers and sisters behind her. "Put me down, you little
muskrat, or am I going to have to hurt you?" growled Mary, one of Rio's 4
sisters. Mackenzie, another one of Rio's sisters, said, "Oh, leave her
alone. She only wants us all to be here when Numbuh 2 opens his presents.
Right, Jessica?" Numbuh 2 went into his dream state, as the picture of Rio
as a human filled his mind. As a human, she was known as Jessica Amanda
Randall. Long red hair, that curled as it fell. Big green eyes that seemed
to shine even in the dark. Her costume, which is a purple tank top and a
skirt, fitting her perfectly. That tail. TAIL? He came out of his state to
see a purple white tipped tail waving in front of his face. "Numbuh 2? Are
you ok? Mary, is he having a seizure?" He realized Rio was sitting on his
head, and waving her tail around like a flag in front of his face. He noted
she sounded worried. Mary rolled her eyes. "Yea, I'm ok. Don't worry. I'm
fine." He answered with a chuckle. He carefully took Rio off his head, and
he was about to set her on his lap, when he realized a present was there.
She leaped out of his grip, and landed gracefully on the floor. "That one's
from me! Open!" squealed Rio. Numbuh 2 did, and almost fell off the chair
in shock. "The new Yipper complete action set with plane engine?!? HOW?!?"
She laughed. "My daddy's a millionaire, silly! It was easy!" Numbuh 2 was
still in shock. " But this cost at least 150,000,000!" She smiled happily
and replied, "So? No problem there!" Numbuh 2 finished his presents, and by
the time he was finished setting up the Yipper set, it was time for dinner.
Rio made a delicious dinner of turkey, and mashed potatoes and no veggies.
By the time he was done, it was time for bed. Numbuh 2 thought about what
would make that day perfect. and figured it out.

Rio yawned, trotting toward her home in the old prototype of the
M.O.S.Q.U.I.T.T.O. She walked in, and the light switch wasn't working.
"Huh, thought I fixed that the other day." She looked closer, and saw that
the wires were all ripped out. She smiled. Numbuh 2 would occasionally do
that because he liked to surprise her. She didn't mind putting them back in
again. Then, with shock, she felt a pair of strong arms hug her gently from
behind. One arm slipped to her waist, and the other pinned her paws behind
her back. She smiled shyly in the twilight, easily figuring out who was
holding her so. The only one who would dare to hold her so. "Hello Master!"
She sang in her usual cheerful voice, trying to be angelic, but it wasn't
easy to act like that when her crush was breathing down her neck. She heard
a clang, and she guessed Numbuh 2 had kicked the metallic door shut behind
them, leaving them in the dark. "Can you.do something for me, Rio?" Numbuh
2 whispered in his 'cool' voice, squeezing her tighter, and nuzzling her
neck with his helmet off. Her breath became heavy, and she tensed at the
feel of his hair on her neck. "What's that, Hoagie?" She squeaked, not able
to move since Numbuh 2 was holding her in such a way. She would only call
Numbuh 2 by his real name when they were alone. He smiled. He knew his
advances were working. He very slowly pulled Rio onto his lap, pinning her
down to his chest with one arm, and stroking her ears, causing her to
shiver. "Can you. dance with me? You know, in your human form? I'd love to,
since you are so light on your feet." She barely dared to nod. "Of course I
will, Hoagie." He smiled at her. He squeezed her gently, whispering into
her hair, "That is, if you want to." as he torturously ran his fingers down
her small, fuzzy body, just barely touching her. She gave an involuntary
shudder, and said, "No, I. I've been wanting. to dance with you
again.Hoagie." She lowered her head, her cheeks turning a bright pink. He
heard the truth in her voice, slightly shocked. He was the doofus. Didn't
that make him clumsy? " You. I think about that a lot... Dancing with you.
You. dance like. like an angel." She stood, and transformed into the
beautiful Jessica Amanda Randall. First, she touched a button, that set off
slowly moving party lights. Then she pushed the play button on her CD
player. A pretty melody played softly from the black machine. He stood from
his kneeling position, grinning, and carefully held her hand in his. He
also placed his other hand on her waist, and felt the gentle, happy shudder
that went through her. She settled her cheek on his shoulder, and rested
her hands on his shoulders, too. With a shiver, she felt Numbuh 2 settle
both his arms around her waist, pinning her close to him. She pulled her
head up and stared up into Numbuh 2's face. Numbuh 2 glanced down at her,
and with a burst of courage, he pressed her lips to his. She smiled and
kissed back. He had changed slightly since she had met him. To her, he was
never a doofus, or a butterball, or a dork. To her, he was a slightly
muscular boy, with adorable baby blue eyes, and shining brown hair. To her,
he was never overweight, or shortsighted, or anything. Right now, he had
shed his helmet and goggles, showing his intense blue eyes and brown shiny
hair that fell mysteriously in his eyes. To her, He was a cute, strong, and
brave 10-year-old. 'Keep your body-builder super-models. Hoagie .P.
Gilligan Jr. is enough for me!' she thought happily. Finally, Numbuh 2 got
tired. They both sat down on Jessica's bed, and since Numbuh 2 didn't feel
like letting go of Jessica, she ended up on his lap. She blushed, and since
she knew he didn't let go for a reason, she stayed there. He nuzzled her
neck, and she went rigid, head bowed. " I guess I better go." mumbled
Numbuh 2. Jessica's head jolted up, and she cried, "No! Please don't go!"
He grinned and raised an eyebrow. She blushed. "W-well, what I meant is.
I'd love it if you would stay in my room tonight." Numbuh 2 smiled, and
said, "My pleasure." Both curled up together. Then, she planted a warm kiss
on his cheek. Then Numbuh 2 heard Jessica giggle. " What?" He asked,
confused. She smiled, and answered, " If Ralphie knew you were in here."
She trailed off, but he finished. "He would kill me!" Numbuh 2 moved to get
up, but Jessica grabbed his wrist. "Please! Stay and talk to me. Please."
She begged. Numbuh 2 smiled gently down at her, and for the rest of the
night, they cuddled in a heap.
