A/N: Nothing belongs to me except Numbuh 178.

Chapter 10: Going Home

It was late in the afternoon when Sector V (plus Numbuh 86) arrived back at the tree house. It was official. Numbuhs 2 and 86 were an official couple and so were Numbuhs 3 and 4.

Now all we need to do is to get Numbuh 5 and Numbuh 1 to admit it to each other. Numbuh 178 thought as they walked into the living room. And we'll be all set.

Numbuhs 3 and 4 immediately sat down on a couch together and started talking quietly. Numbuh 2 looked at Numbuh 86 and motioned for her to follow him. She did and they left the room.

Numbuh 178 looked at Numbuh 5. Numbuh 5 looked back. They had a silent conversation.

Tell him now. Numbuh 178 told Numbuh 5.

Fine. Numbuh 5 said.

Numbuh 5 turned to Numbuh 1.

"Er Numbuh 1? I need to talk to you."

Numbuh 1 was immediately interested. She hadn't spoken in third person, whatever she was going to say it must be big.

"Sure." He said lightly and followed her out of the room.

What the two didn't see was Numbuhs 3, 4 and 178 cross their fingers at each other.

Numbuh 5 led Numbuh 1 up to the balcony. (A/N: You know the ship like thing that extends from the tree house)

"So what is it Numbuh 5?" Numbuh 1 asked though he kind of already knew. He just wanted to hear her say it.

Numbuh 5 turned red.

"Er...well you see... Ever since I was 13 I... well I... This is really hard for me to say." Numbuh 5 said.

Numbuh 1 held up a hand. "Does this have anything to do with what just recently happened to Numbuhs 3 and 4 and Numbuhs 2 and 86?"

Numbuh 5 nodded. "I'm sorry Numbuh 1. I don't want to break my friendship with y..."

But she got no further because Numbuh 1 leaned forward and kissed her. At first she just stood in shock but then she woke herself up. She wrapped her arms around his neck and deepened the kiss. He responded by pulling her closer. When they finally broke to breath Numbuh 5 finally said it.

"I love you Nigel." She whispered.

"I love you to Abby." Numbuh 1 whispered back.

When the new couple finally went back to the living room Numbuh 178 was the only one still there.

"The others went to the candy store." She said answering their unasked question.

She looked at them and smiled. It was obvious that they had confessed to each other.

"Good for you Abby." She said softly.

Numbuh 5 went over to her and hugged her.

"Thanks for giving me the courage to tell him." She said happily. "I'm so glad you got transferred to our Sector."

Numbuh 178 hugged her back. "So am I."

A/N: Come on! There's an epilogue left and I'd like 6 reviews before I upload it. Please? Oh and I hope Numbuhs 1 and 5 weren't out of character that much.
