Online Connections - Numba 5's Plan

Numba 5 kept looking over at Numba 4 on the bus. He was sitting in the seat across from her's, and he was acting really nervous. Numba 5 was more than positive about what was going on. Numba 4 knew that Numba 3 was still looking for someone to go to the dance with, and Numba 4 had tried many times, now. Numba 5 snickered as she remembered. 'Okay, Wally had started on Day 1, which was Monday, he tried to see if he could ask her on the bus, but he couldn't get a seat very close to her. Once the bus was at the school, he tried again, but couldn't make it to the front of the school bus to talk to her. The third time he tried was on the next day, and he had next to her during lunch, which was very dangerous for a boy to do, because of the girls who sit with Kuki. He tried to ask her, but kept getting so nervous, he couldn't talk, so now, it was Day 3, and the dance was in three days. He apparently was nervous becuse he hadn't gotten to even say a word to Kuki yet. Numba 5 smiled, "Yeah, he isn't gonna get very far, especially since he can't talk when he's anywhere near her at all." she said to herself. Numba 4 kept looking at the front of the bus where Numba 3 was sitting. Numba 1 wasn't at school that day because of some mission at Moonbase Command, and Numba 2 was getting a ride to school that day.

Numba 5 had almost all her classes with Numba 4, except one, and that was the one she had with Numba 3. She had to sit next to her in class, and had definately known that Kuki liked Wally. Numba 5 would always be waiting for Numba 4 to shut up about Numba 3 in all her other classes, though. She knew that Numba 4 didn't have a chance unless he actually spoke up. She had been planning something, but she couldn't get the whole thing worked out yet. Numba 2 had been working with her on it, but they kept getting stumped when they got to what to do to get them to meet up. Today, she was all over it, writing suggestions on her assignments, writing them on her binder. Talking to Numba 2 at lunch about them, and eventually afterschool, they agreed on a place. The plan was complete, and it was definately time to start.

The first part was to get them to both agree to meet up with another person in their Sector to go online. That was hard, Numba 4 didn't know how to do that, and Numba 3 didn't want to. Numba 2 was with Numba 3, trying his best to get her to follow the plan, but all she did was argue. Eventually, Numba 5 gave him a suggestion, and Numba 2 used it. It was to see if Kuki could find a chat room to talk to people from the dance. Kuki had taken the bait, and now it was Numba 4's turn. Numba 5 had to be careful with Numba 4, he may have acted strong, but he was very emotional, and Numba 5 couldn't take the chance of risking his anger. Abby tried a lot of techniques, including the many that she used for Numba 3, but nothing was working. Finally, she ran out of ideas when Numba 2 asked if the one he used on Kuki would work. And it ends up that it did. So, Phase One of their plan was complete.
