Chapter 1 After he leaves
Numbuhs 2, 3, 4, and 5 all slowly walked back to the tree house. They had stayed till the very last minute; they had all watched the rocket ship take off. But they had to leave before Father showed up. The group was too upset to talk as they walked in silence. The kids were like leaky faucets that were ready to burst.
Wally was the first to get in the tree house then he saw Numbuh 1's door his eyes started to sting. He was crying again.
"Oh Numbuh 1 why'd ya have to leave?" he said knowing he wouldn't get an answer from him anytime soon.
Numbuh 3 was right behind him but she wasn't crying. She saw Wally with his head in his hands and she walked over to him.
"Guys Wally needs us." she said.
"I don't need you guys." said Numbuh 4.
Numbuh 2 and 5 came into the tree house.
"Numbuh 3, Numbuh 5 thinks you should give Numbuh 4 some time alone right now." said Numbuh 5.
"Wally?" said Numbuh 3.
"What?" he said.
"It's alright." she said.
"No Kuki it's not alright!"
"But Wally-"
"Face it Kuki! There's nothing you can say right now to make any of us feel any better! Listen I know you're just trying to help but now's not the best time." Said Numbuh 4.
"Numbuh 3 maybe he's right. I think everyone needs a little alone time right now." said Numbuh 2.
Numbuh 3 nodded.
"Okay." she said sadly.
The operatives were silent as they headed to their rooms.
In Numbuh 5's room
Numbuh 5 couldn't believe Nigel had left! Sure it was a great opportunity, but it just wasn't worth it!
"But it was to him. What did we do wrong?" she asked to no one. She wished Nigel was here to tell her.
"Nothin, we did Nothin wrong." she said trying to reassure herself.
She knew Numbuh 1 hadn't meant to hurt them. He was just being Nigel. So concerned about his work. She thought she had really gotten through to him after all their time working together. But he gave her his glasses; he told her that she would have to lead again. But she liked when Numbuh 1 lead. She never admitted it but, Sector V they were like family. But no, she would not beat herself up over this. He wouldn't want her to. That wasn't what he intended.
"Numbuh 1, I promise I'll make you proud." she said.
Then she got an idea, what if she sent Nigel back his glasses and sent him a note. Would they accept letters? No, they probably wouldn't but it wouldn't hurt to try. She decided she had to send him his glasses back the team could all help write the letter too. Maybe that would make them all feel a little better.
"Then that's what Numbuh 5's gonna do." she said smiling.
The Conference Room of the Tree House
Numbuh 3 and 2 were too sad to go to their rooms alone. So they stayed out with each other instead.
"I didn't mean to upset him Numbuh 2." said Kuki.
"I know Numbuh 3, Numbuh 4 just needs to be by himself right now it's nothing personal." said Numbuh 2.
"You know Numbuh 2. I never really realized just how close we all were until now." said Numbuh 3.
"You know neither did I." he said.
"Do you think Numbuh 1'll ever come back?" asked Kuki.
"Maybe." he replied.
'Maybe, that's not good enough. He was like my brother. And everyone's so sad. I wish he would just come back.' thought Kuki.
"Numbuh 3?"
"Yeah?"
"I hope things don't change too much."
"I hope so too. I hope Wally's okay."
"I hope Abby will be alright."
"Numbuh 2?"
"Yeah?"
"I think Numbuh 5 would make a good leader."
"Me too, I think she doubts herself too much. She's wonderful at everything she does. She'd be perfect." said Numbuh 2, and then he blushed realizing he'd said too much.
Numbuh 3's eyes widened "Don't worry I won't tell her."
"I think she already knows."
"Oh. Well that's not a bad thing Numbuh 2. I think it's sweet."
"Yeah, now I know how Numbuh 4 feels. Speaking of that I'm sorry how I always tease you guys about it."
"I think it's Wally who needs to hear that, but not right now."
"Yeah I'll just have to wait till this blows over. I hope the kids doing okay."
"Me too."
In Numbuh 4's Room
"Ugh! W-what did I do?" Wally shouted as a tear ran down his cheek.
"What d-did I do wrong?"
The tears were streaming down his face now. His throat was so dry, his eyes were burning his voice was cracking. Wally was used to not having many friends but this was different. Right now he was punching the walls, his bed, anything he could get his hands on. He had so much anger inside him he couldn't help himself.
"He left! Why did he leave us?" he continued to shout.
"W-why didn't he just leave early on? Instead of making me feel good! Like he actually cared! I knew friendships never last! I should've known this would happen. I should've known not to trust people by now!"
He collapsed on his bed as he sobbed. He had never cried this much. He tried very hard to cry as little as possible. But he was only a kid. And he was proud of it too.
"Stupid adults! Stupid Father he could have stayed longer if you hadn't shown up! He wouldn't have had to leave at all if it weren't for you stupid adults!" he shouted.
He pushed his face into his pillow and took some deep breaths. He hadn't realized just how close he had been to his friends until one of them was gone. Well he knew he was close to Kuki.
"I hope I didn't upset Kuki. I probably did. Why do I always hurt people?" asked Wally.
But he already knew the answer, because he used hang out with Ricky. He hoped he would get it together before he had to go to school in the same class as Ricky.
"I wish you were here Numbuh 1 because I can get better, really I can."
Then he thought about something. His eyes widened.
"That's why Numbuh 1 left, it was Me." his eyes started to water again.
"St-stupid eyes." he said as he wiped his face. His voice was starting to crack again. But he couldn't help it when he cried.
"I can get smarter. I kn-know I'm dumb but I'll p-prove I can get smarter I can! I can get better at fighting too! I'll train ev-everyday and study too! People won't say I'm dumb anymore! I'll ch-change Numbuh 1. Really I w-will." he said.
He wiped his eyes again. "I-I better go see my t-team. There pr-probably wondering about me." he said as he got out of his bed.
In the Tree House w/ all of Sector V
Numbuh 4 slowly closed his door and turned around to sit at the table. He was surprised to see all his friends staring at him, already at the table. He wiped his face, but it was too late they had already seen his tear stricken face.
'Great, just great.' thought Wally.
"Wally?" asked Kuki again, but more cautious.
He wiped his eyes "W-what is Ku-Kuki?" he asked as he sniffed.
She noticed his lower lip was trembling. Her heart ached for him she just had to play it right. She could tell he was upset.
"I know you're upset but please just let us help." she said.
Wally wiped his eyes again.
'Cruddy tears! I'm overflowing with 'em today.'
He nodded walked over and sat down next to Kuki.
"Listen Guys, I know we all miss Numbuh 1. I miss him too. But I think we should do something to help us think about something else." she said.
"You want us to just forget about him? I don't know about you guys but I gotta see him!" shouted Numbuh 4.
"Numbuh 4." said Abby trying to regain control.
He stood up on the table."No Abby! I'm not gonna stop talking so you can be the leader. See you're already forgetting about him!" shouted Wally.
"Wally,"
Wally looked down and saw it was Kuki.
"Wally please she's just trying to help." said Kuki.
He sighed and sat down he glanced at Numbuh 5. "Go on."
She looked at him. "I was thinking maybe we could go beat up some adult… Eh forget that. Do you guys wanta Send Nigel a letter we could put his glasses in a box w/ a note from all of us. How about it?" she asked.
She saw Numbuh 4 smile for the time probably all day. She sighed of relief.
"I'll do it!" he shouted happily.
"Me too!" said Numbuh 2.
Numbuh 3 giggled "Me three!" she said.
"So what are you all gonna write?" asked Numbuh 2.
'Uh oh, I hope they don't all laugh at me.' thought Numbuh 4.
"I'm gonna draw Rainbow Monkeys!" shouted Numbuh 3.
Numbuh 4 laughed "I'm sure he'll love that Kuki."
"Hmm… Numbuh 5'll probably tell him how things are going at the Tree House and say hi all that good stuff." said Numbuh 5.
"I'm gonna talk to him about my new jet that I'm working on besides the we miss you and stuff. What about you Numbuh 4?" asked Numbuh 2.
Numbuh 4 fiddled with his hands "Um, I was gonna tell him about my plan to… well, you know how Numbuh 1's so smart?"said Numbuh 4.
"Well of course! Everybody knows Numbuh 1's smart!" said Kuki.
"Well I'm gonna try and, be like him. I wanna make him proud, even if he's not here." said Numbuh 4.
The other operatives stared at him. Then they smiled.
"Sounds good to me!" said Kuki.
Numbuh 2 nodded.
"Works for Numbuh 5."
Numbuh 4 sighed of relief.
"Hey guys, I don't mean to be a mood killer and all, but what are we going to tell our teachers tomorrow at school about, N-Nigel?" asked Numbuh 4.
"Oh, well his parents will probably have some excuse." said Numbuh 2.
"Yeah, poor Mr. and Mrs. Uno, they must be really sad." said Numbuh 3.
"Maybe we should go check on them, every once in awhile for Numbuh 1." said Numbuh 4.
The other operatives looked at him.
"What?" asked Wally.
"Nothing Wally." said Kuki.
"Ugh. Will ya just tell me what's bugging ya? It bugs me to no end when people say something's wrong and then won't say what it is." said Numbuh 4.
"Well it's just, you're acting so different." she said.
"Numbuh 5 agrees. Why you acting like this, Wally?" said Abigail.]
"I'm just worried about 'em that's all." said Wally.
"You don't usually get this worried about people." said Numbuh 2.
"Ugh! Will ya guys give it a rest?" shouted Numbuh 4.
Kuki slightly cocked her head to the right and stared at Wally, like she was trying to read his mind.
"Please Wally. I know your upset, but we just wanna help." she said.
Wally sighed again "I just don't want them to feel the way I do."
"And how is that." asked Numbuh 5.
Numbuh 4 frowned he was not about to tell them how broken he felt.
"Upset."
Come on Wally you're more than upset. Why are you out of all of us taking this so bad." asked Numbuh 2.
"I'm not."
"Yes you are."
"I am not Numbuh 2."
"Come on Numbuh 4 tell us."
"No Kuki."
"Please."
"No.
"Come on Numbuh 4, how do you feel?" asked Numbuh 5.
"Yeah why are you acting like this." said Numbuh 2.
"Come on Wally how do you feel?" asked Numbuh 5.
"Just tell us Numbuh 4? How do you feel?" asked Numbuh 2.
"I feel betrayed!" he shouted.
His eyes started to burn again he was crying in front of his team.
