"But Numbah 362… we never asked for a new team member." Numbah 2 whined.
Numbah 362 shot Numbah 2 a death glare.
"...or we can just accept him or her!" replied Numah 2 hesitantly as he faked a laugh.
As they stepped inside, they laid eyes on a girl sitting at a table – about eleven years old along with brown hair that flowed. The sad expression on her face made them gasp a little.
Numbuh 362 broke the silence. "Sector V, this is Allison. Allison, meet Sector V: Numbahs 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5."
"But you can call me Ali, if you want." said Allison.
"Well, Ali was former known as Numbah 6 of Sector U, but now she's Numbah 6 of Sector V!" Numbah 362 proudly announced.
Numbah 1 walked up towards Allison. "Okay, Numbah 6. Welcome to Sector V." he said as he shook her hand.
"It's nice to meet you all." she replied shyly.
"So shall we get going?" Numbah 5 piped in.
"YES. I'm starving!" said Numbah 4, which made everyone laugh a bit.
- Back at the Treehouse -
This is amazing. Ali thought. She was finally back in a sector environment. She glanced around the place, examining all the technology around her. Not long before Numbah 3 broke her train of thought.
"Hey, let's go see your room!"
"But Numbah 3, we don't have an extra room for her." said Numbah 2 as he stuffed chips in his mouth.
"Well of course she needs a room!" she shouts back.
She snaps her fingers. "Hey! I know! How about we build one in the wall right there? It's not like we use it."
"Even if that was possible," Numbah 2 replied with a mouthful. "That would take forever. I'm talking weeks, months."
"Pish posh, we can do it!"
Numbah 6's POV
Should I tell them? Should I tell them about the major part of my life?
Maybe I shouldn't.
But, if I didn't, they'd have to go through so much work that could be easily done by me.
I finally fought through the lump in my throat. "Hey, guys?"
Their bickering stopped and they all turned to face me. What have I gotten myself into.
I took a deep sigh. "There's something I want to tell you."
"Yes?" Numbah 1 sounded impatient. "We're listening."
"So uh," The lump was coming back. I can't do it.
Will she be able to tell them about her secret? And what is this little secret Ali is hiding from everyone?
