I started to unpack and put my clothes away. Without knowing, one of my shirts got snagged and my bag fell off my bed, spilling all of my Yipper trading cards all over the floor.

"Aw crud." I muttered and I started to pick them up. I then heard the sound of footsteps coming closer to my room. I heard a knock at my door.

"Come in." I said not looking up from the floor. I then heard Numbuh 2's voice.

"Uh, are you ok, Numbuh 17? I heard a loud bang from in here." I looked up then looked back to the floor where my bag was, and I looked back at Numbuh 2.

"Yeah, my bag fell. Hey do you wanna give me a hand?" I asked.

"Sure." He replied and Numbuh 2 got on the floor and helped me clean up my mess. "Cool, you collect Yipper cards too?"

"Yeah, they're my favorite." I replied with a smile. I then heard Numbuh 2 gasp. I looked at him. "What's wrong?" he was gawking at one of my cards.

"Y-you have Yipper card number 99? I would kill for one of these cards. It's the rarest card ever!" He then shot me a suspicious look. "You didn't by any chance steal this card from any nerds, did you?" he asked. I laughed.

"No I didn't, I know what happens when you do that. My dad owns a card shop, and I've gotten all my cards from him." I then stood up and put my cards on my dresser. Numbuh 2 placed the other half next to it.

"Thanks Numbuh 2." I said. He seems like the nicest one out of the others.

"No problem. And you can call me Hoagie, if you want." He was blushing a little bit like before.

"Ok. Well, I'm gonna go to bed. I'll see you in the morning." Hoagie then started to leave me room.

"Alright, goodnight Numbuh 17. D-don't let the bed-bugs bite." And he left my room. I poked my head out of the boor way and watched him got to his room. I then saw him stop and say something to himself.

"'Don't let the bed-bugs bite?' ugh that was stupid. Stupid." I smiled and closed my door. My smile then disappeared when I reminded myself of what I needed to do. I couldn't get attached to anyone.

I woke up early the next morning before anyone else. I was still in my pajamas as I was exploring the tree house, trying my best not to get lost. I wondered around aimlessly, until I found myself in the Power Core room.

"I might find something useful in here." I thought and I opened the door and to my surprise I saw hamsters. Thousands upon thousands of hamsters. I had never seen so many in one place. I went inside and gazed at the cute little fur-balls. They were all split into two sections. One half powered the lighting and other appliances in the tree house and the second half powered the defense system.

"I've gotta keep this place in mind for later." I left the room and quietly shut the door, so I wouldn't wake up anybody. Before I turned and left I felt someone's hand on my shoulder. My defensive instincts kicked in and I round-house kicked whoever was behind me. I then sent that person flying into the wall. I looked and saw that I had attacked Numbuh 1. I was scared that I might have blown my cover. I ran to his side.

"Oh my gosh, Numbuh 1, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to do that." The others then came into the hallway to investigate what had happened.

"What's goin' on here? Numbuh 5 was trying to sleep." She said rubbing her eyes. Numbuhs 2, 3, and 4 followed her. I helped Numbuh 1 to his feet.

"I…I couldn't sleep, and I got bored so I was walking around and Numbuh 1 came up behind me and…and I got scared and accidentally kicked him." Numbuh 1 started to get his breath back and he looked at me.

"That's alright, Numbuh 17. But you shouldn't have your guard up so high here. This base has the best security system. Nothing is going to hurt you."

"Ok. I'm still really sorry." I replied and everyone started to leave.
