Chapter 8
Numbuh 4 is Waay Too Emotional
Numbuh 4's POV:
"Going somewhere?" An adult that looked strangely familiar loomed over us. He looked like a silhouette, because his whole body was black except for his glowing yellow eyes.
"Um…I know this is a bad time," I whispered to Numbuh 2. "But who's that?"
Numbuh 2 didn't look away from the man. "The Delightful Children's Father." The Delightful Dorks had a father?
"Did you really think that I wouldn't know you were here?" Father continued. "Did you really think you could sneak aboard this ship without anyone noticing? Well, you were wrong!" He suddenly was surrounded with flames, but somehow didn't burn to ashes.
"You're just in time to witness the destruction of all the candy in the world." As he spoke, a wall opened to reveal a screen behind it. It showed the Earth rotating slowly.
"No! The Kids Next Door won't let you!" Numbuh 5 yelled, then squirted ice cream in Father's face. I expected him to just get annoyed, but he seemed actually hurt. Of course…fire and ice! We all took out C.O.N.E.C.A.N.N.O.N.s and aiming at him. When we finally thought he was defeated, he just burst out of the pile of ice cream and screamed, "FOOLS! Now you've made me REALLY angry!"
He shot a fireball at Numbuh 2, but he dodged it. He also shot one at me, but it narrowly whizzed past my face. We all started dodging fireballs, except for Numbuh 3, who was just laughing and saying, "Fourth of July!" Airhead.
I ducked to avoid another fireball, and it shot behind me towards Numbuh 3.
I could've let her dodge it herself. I could've let Numbuh 2 or Numbuh 5 save her. I even could've let her get burned to a crisp. But while the fireball was zooming straight at her, suddenly an image flashed in my head.
It was my first day of being a Kids Next Door operative. There was Numbuh 1, Numbuh 2, and Numbuh 5. They were all introducing themselves.
After that, memories hit me like meteors. There was the time Numbuh 2 and I rigged a bucket above Numbuh 1's door, and it splashed all over him. I also recalled the time we were racing in the tube-a-thon. And the time when Numbuh 3 and I had to fly in some rocket to the Rainbow Monkey amusement park. And when Numbuh 1 left for the Galactic Kids Next Door…I remembered all of it.
I also remembered that I had a crush on Kuki Sanban.
And that I wasn't going to let her get fried.
So I did something that I'd probably regret for the rest of my sorry life.
I pushed her out of the way.

A/N: See? What did the chapter title tell ya? Numbuh 4 was being waaaaaay too heartfelt in this chappie. And waaaay too intellectual. :P Or intelligent, however you like it.
Yup, the shortest chapter by far. *shakes head* Tsk, tsk, what am I gonna do with you, cherrimrocks?
cherrimrocks: Well, for a start, you could stop talking to yourself.
Me: No can do. Been doing it since...4th grade. *blows on nails*
