KNDnumbuh007: Haha, yeah we all wanted Kuki to totally rule over Erin during that but stupid Wally had to go and get in the way *rolls eyes* ahh, he means wellFrankandJoe3: X-D no no, she needs a slow and painful death, killing her quickly would just be the easy way out for her rachpop15: I know, what a goonie, not only is she splitting up Wally and Kuki, she nearly split up Abby and Hoagie! Now that's going a little below the belt, even for Erin's standards Music lover 3212: X-D Erm I'm not too sure, I don't think there'll be very many chapters left, maybe one or two, I'm not too far from finishing Number 8.0: Yeah, sector V are getting pretty thick not noticing how evil Erin is :-/
When Kuki awoke, she found herself in a hospital bed. Her vision came back and she saw Wally sitting on a bed, staring down at her.
"Numbuh 4?" She whispered. Then came back to reality. "Numbuh 2!"
"Numbuh 2's fine. They're just running some tests, he'll be out by tomorrow." Wally told her firmly. "They want you to stay here and get some rest. Abby and Nigel have gone back to their houses, Me and Erin are going back to the tree house."
Kuki shook her head. "No! Wally don't, please don't stay in the tree house alone with her!"
Wally looked at her with confusion. "I'll see you tomorrow."
He stood up and walked out of the room. Kuki flickered her eyes a little. Then fell asleep again.

Wally and Erin got a lift back to the tree house. When they got in, Wally walked straight into the kitchen and got a soda while Erin walked to her room.
Wally turned on the television and sat on the couch, thinking about the days events. He ran his fingers through his golden hair. That must have been the first time in his life that he'd stood up for someone over Kuki. Erin made him feel really weird, it was kind of like the way that Kuki made him feel...did he have a crush on Erin too?
A rush of guilt suddenly went through him. Not only was Kuki his major crush for three years, but she was his best friend, maybe he should have stood up for Kuki. He didn't even think about it at the time, he just instinctively helped Erin as she seemed so helpless, maybe that was it, he always helped Kuki because she was the most helpless...but it wasn't like Kuki to act like that around someone, she had to have a reason for being so edgy around Erin...Man Wally was confused.

In her room, Erin pulled out her dress, slipping it on she then placed her chain belt around her waist.
Letting her hair fall down, she pulled it up into a half-ponytail. Then she applied make-up: eye-liner, mascara, blush and Dr pepper flavour lip gloss, followed by fantasy perfume.
Walking out of her room, she headed to the kitchen.

While he thought of his eventful day, Wally he heard footsteps, he opened his eyes to see bare feet and pink painted toenails, he brought his eyes up to look at who the feet belonged to, he saw tiny ankles, thin legs, a black dress, a chain belt, a knife in a hand...wait, knife?...
"Hey Numbuh 4, I made some snacks, thought you might be hungry." Erin stated as she placed a wooden plate of fruit on the table, she chopped a strawberry and sat on the table as she placed it into her mouth.
"What are you wearing?" Wally asked.
Erin smiled. "Do you like it?"
Wally examined her. "What have you done to your face?"
Erin giggled. "It's make up silly."
Wally rested his head on the back of the couch and placed his hand on his head, he felt a light weight on his shoulder, he looked down to see Erin resting her head on his shoulder, gazing up at him.
"I always feel so safe when I'm closed to you." She whispered.
Wally smiled at her and then looked back at the television. He wasn't sure what was going on but it sure made him feel uncomfortable.
"I really like you Wally," Erin said, her face now even closer to his.
Wally didn't take his eyes off the screen, he was now sweating. "Thanks."
Erin nuzzled his ear with her chin and whispered into his ear. "let me take care of you."
"Wha...?" Wally was about to exclaim, but was interrupted by Erin's lips on his.
He didn't know what to do...it was too clear for him then, his feelings were much stronger for another certain girl.
He pushed her away quickly.
"What the crud!" He yelled.
Erin's eyes welled up. "I thought you liked me."
"I do in a non-mushy kind of way, I liked you like a guy-friend!" Wally exclaimed.
Erin looked down at her feet and sobbed. "You like Numbuh 3 better than me don't you?"
Wally shrugged. "I don't like her better than you...just...in a different way."
Erin sighed angrily. "She's not right for you! Nobody here seems to care about what you think..."
She ran her fingers through his hair. "I really care about you Wally."
Wally decided to ignore and turn his head back to the T.V screen.
Erin scooched closer to him.
"You're such a great friend, and a real handsome guy..." She said quietly.
Wally felt her hand on his thigh, it ran further and further up his leg, he jumped and stood up hastily.
"Whoa! Stop! Stop it!" He yelled. Erin stared at him and stood up to face him, Wally stared at her in disbelief. "We're like twelve years old!"
Erin began to sob and ran to her room. Wally sighed and sat back down, now reviewing what had just happened and trying to make sense of it all.

In the hospital bed, Kuki's communicator went off, waking up because of the noise and vibration, she sat up and pressed it's button.
"Numbuh 3?" A girl asked, when Kuki's vision cleared she could see that the girl was dark skinned, her hair was medium and black and she wore rectangle thin rimmed glasses.
"Yeah?" Kuki muttered.
"I'm Numbuh 513, from sector E." The girl stated. "Numbuh 437 said that you'd called asking about Numbuh 666."
Kuki's eyes widened. "Yeah."
"Where is she right now, is she anywhere where she could hear you?" Numbuh 513 asked.
Kuki shook her head. "No, she's at the tree house with Numbuh 4. Why?"
Numbuh 513 gasped. "Call him and tell him to get out of the tree house, then call the police or moon base!"
Kuki shook her head. "He won't listen to me, but why?"
"Numbuh 3, you have to listen to me! Numbuh 666 isn't a kid! She's a teenager!"
