(me) ok I took a pathetically long, long break from writing and stuff because high school and the stoopid adults forced me to study hard and keep a good average. So now Christmas (whatever holiday you celebrate) break is here I can update (or do my algebra report...hehe not gonna happen).

Cue in Padme's Ruminations

Numbuh 362 returned to Moonbase to file a missing persons report, while Numbuh 5 went back to the treehouse to tell the others what had happened. She couldn't believe what had happened, how could she have been so stupid. It all just happened so quickly, why did she have to be a coward? She could have stayed and helped Numbuh 1 and he probably wouldn't be 'God-knows-where' now. She sighed. Sulking wouldn't help anything now. She slowly walked over to the meeting room, as she walked past the kitchen she looked at the clock. 1:52 AM. That explains why she is so exhausted but it didn't matter she needed to alert the team, they needed to look for Numbuh 1, they need Numbuh 1, SHE needs Numbuh 1.

"I WANT EVERYONE TO REPORT TO THE DE-BRIEFING ROOM IMMEDIATELY!" She screamed into the microphone, and she could hear three cries of her fellow operatives as they were rudely, and loudly awoken. Soon footsteps were heard and Numbuhs 2-4 came slowly into the room and collapsed onto the couch.

"What the crud do ya want Numbuh 5, it's 2 in the mornin'!" Numbuh 4 said.

"Numbuh 1..."she paused unable to finish." Numbuh 1, has been captured by Grandfather," she said and tears came to her eyes. The rest of the team gasped.

"No," Numbuh 3 said.

"What are we going to do Numbuh 5?" Numbuh 2 asked, but Numbuh 5 didn't answer, she seemed to be in a trance. "Numbuh 5?"

"Huh?" Numbuh 5 awoke, "Oh sorry I just must be tired. Well everyone get some sleep, it will be a long day tomorrow." She walked out and the other three stared at the spot where she was, jaws dropped. When was the last time Numbuh 5 referred to herself in the first person? They shrugged it off and returned to the rooms to get a restless nights sleep.

By the time Numbuh 5 reached her room, her eyes were filled with tears. This was all HER fault, how could she have deserted him. He would have never left her behind. She was ashamed of herself. Numbuh 1 could be dead and it was all her fault. Numbuh 5 broke down into sobs at the very thought of Numbuh 1 dying.

"Numbuh 1, I'll find you. I promise," she vowed as she fell into an uneasy sleep.
