CH.10- Rainy days
The five kids groaned as they made their way through the park. They'd been awakened by the alarms and were excited to have something to do for once.
But now their excitement was gone. Their muscles ached after such a long fight.
They'd decided to take a shortcut through the park that day. It was only a caution due to the cloudy skies.
Nigel and Hoagie walked in front of the others. They had been discussing new tactics and weapon repair. On a few occasions Hoagie had been able to steer the conversation to a certain girl of Nigel's affections. Only any chance at the leader admitting it was slim.
Wallabee took up the rear of the group. He starred down at the gravel without a care of anything else.
Kuki and Abby whispered back and forth. The boys didn't even dare to strain their ears. For all they knew the girls discussions were on make-up and clothes.
"Numbuh 5's not sure how much longer I can keep this secret." Abby admitted.
"You have to!" Kuki yelled as loud as possible without getting the others attention. "Besides I thought you wanted a secret."
"Yeah. But not one like this! Numbuh 5 wanted a secret about who liked who or suttin' like that."
"Well just pretend."
"How?!"
"Well... Pretend that Numbuh 2 told you that he liked someone."
"I can't pretend that your Numbuh 2. That would be weird."
"Ugh! Then pretend that I'm someone else that you know and I said I liked someone."
"What eva.That's confusing."
"Come on Numbuh 5! You gotta! This is really important to me!"
"Numbuh 5's been meaning to ask: Why did you leave in the first place?"
"Move it team!" Nigel called out.
"Maybe I'll tell you later." Kuki gave her friend a reassuring smile. Abby just rolled her eyes.
"Sure." Something dropped lightly on her head. Abby looked up at the gray sky but found nothing. Another drop landed square on her cheek.
"It's raining." Nigel confirmed as more raindrops pelted down. First it was a few here and there but it soon came out in light drizzles.
Hoagie groaned. "Of all days we had to decide not to bring the M.O.S.I.T.O.H." He complained giving a short glare at Nigel.
"Aaawwww. Come on guys. This is no time to fight." Abby said jumping between the two. From the look on Nigel's face it would have been war if she hadn't stopped it.
"Numbuh 5's right." Nigel agreed turning his focus to the path ahead.
"Course I am. Numbuh 5's always right!" She said triumphantly, beaming with pride.
"What have you done?" Hoagie shared one of those 'Uh-oh' looks with Kuki as the two watched her in fear.
"Maybe..." Wallabee began as the rain began to pound harder and a loud boom rang out, "We s'ould find some place ter stay for a while." He suggested, still starring at the ground.
"Right." Nigel nodded. The kids sat down under the little pavilion. It was where most of the public events were held. It had been built a few years ago. It wasn't huge but it wasn't small either. The white paint was beginning to peel, but otherwise it was all right.
Abby twisted her hair to drain it of water. Kuki sat down on one of the banisters hugging herself for any warmth her drenched sweater may have brought.
"Say Numbuh 3, perhaps this little time may be good for us." That small glint in the dark girl's eyes made Kuki shiver more.
"What are you talking about?" Kuki regretted asking her that.
"You can find out exactly how much Numbuh 4 lov- I mean missed you, and Numbuh 5 can find out how much Numbuh 1's missed you."
"And what do you get out of this?"
Abby fell into thought for a second. "Just the satisfaction that Numbuh 5 can help you."
"Uh-huh. Anything else?"
"No. Just that." Abigail tried not to make eye contact but Kuki already knew.
"You just wanna excuse to be near Numbuh 1." Kuki accused, smiling.
"So... You get to be near Numbuh 4. It's only fair I get near Numbuh 1."
"Since when did I say I liked Numbuh 4?!" Kuki screeched turning a bright red. She was thankful the boys hadn't heard.
"Call it intuition. Are you blushing?" Abby asked with a smirk.
"N-no." She stumbled, turning redder. It only added to Abby's satisfaction.
"Oh Numbuh 1!" Abby waved walking over to him.
"I'm really gonna hurt her later."
"Numbuh 5?" A new voice asked. Kuki almost jumped twelve feet.
With a sigh of relief she nodded. "How much did you hear?"
"Just t'at ya wanted to 'urt Numbuh 5."
Hoagie shook his head. It wasn't really fair.
The others had a habit of leaving him out of things. He was always the fifth wheel and he was tired of it. Even when Kuki had left it was Nigel and Abby together and then just Wallabee. He had refused to make much contact with anyone. So both were pretty much left out now a days.
And then 'Kayonie' came... And it was obvious that Wallabee liked her, possibly just as much as he did Kuki. Though you couldn't blame him. Kuki and 'Kayonie' were so much a like. It was sometimes hard to think they were different people. But since Wallabee was opening up more to the new girl, it meant Hoagie was left being the fifth wheel all over again.
He wished that Lizzie were there. After Nigel broke up with her Hoagie found the girl at the doorstep upset. He had comforted her until it got late outside. He saw a lot more of her lately. The two had become great friends.
But Hoagie was sure he had more feelings than just that...
"So, Numbuh 1..." Abby approached him. He turned to her.
"Yes Numbuh 5?"
Abby didn't say anything. She was lost under his gaze. That familiar beating in her heart began pounding in her ears. Louder than the rain and thunder.
"Ummm..." She pressed her lips tight in a flat line. ' He's your best friend. You do not like him!' She chanted over in her mind. He smiled at her and her face went red like a tomato.
'O.k. So you're in love with him. You weren't completely wrong.' Abby took a deep breath. "Was up?"
"As you can see nothing really." He chuckled.
"Oh yeah." Abby scratched the back of her neck. "Uhhh...What's new? We haven't really talked much lately, huh?"
"No, we haven't."
"How's it going with your crush?" Abby leaned back hiding the hurt in her tone.
"I think it's going pretty well."
'Numbuh 1, you have no idea how much you hurt me.'
Nigel glimpsed over at where Kuki and Wallabee were talking. Even if Kuki was leading the conversation and Wallabee wasn't completely into it, they seemed to get along just fine.
"Why did you run away?" Wallabee interrupted her rambling. Kuki stopped immediately, her eyes went wide.
'Please no. Please no.' She repeated. "What?!"
"Why did you run away from your first place?"
Kuki looked up thankfully towards the sky. "I dunno."
"T'ere's gotta be a reason. People just don't leave, right?"
"I guess it was because they hate me. I heard them saying how much they wished I were gone. I did them a favor and left for good."
" I'm sure someone misses ya."
"Thanks." Kuki had just turned back to her regular color but now she was back to the color pink. (A/N: Pink: blushing. She's not a mutant ^_^) Wallabee just shrugged. "Do you think Numbuh 1 likes Numbuh 5 as much as she likes him?" She asked out of the blue.
"t'ink? Everybody knows."
"I wonder what's under the cap..." Nigel teased. It was known that Abby rarely took off her hat.
"Don't you dare Numbuh 1." She chastised.
"Dare what?" He asked innocently.
"Numbuh 5'll hunt you down." She threatened.
"Oh! You mean if I do this?" Nigel snatched her hat in a swift motion. Abby quickly covered her head.
"I'm seriously going to hurt you." She growled as she jumped for her hat, cursing at the fact that he was much taller than her.
"Is that a promise?" He gave her a wicked smile while she jumped for it again.
"Care to find out?"
"No, not really." He laughed. "Bye!" He yelled, he ran out into the rain.
"Your nuts!" She yelled to him.
"Why thank you!"
"Ugh!" Without another thought, Abby ran out after him.
"Their both nuts." Hoagie concluded. The three watched from the pavilion as the pair ran further out into the storm.
"If they get hit with lightning and die, I'm not going to their funeral." The other two nodded.
"I'm goin' to kill you Numbuh 1!" They heard Abby yell.
"Ten bucks Numbuh 1 gets away." Hoagie flashed a ten in Wallabee's face. He cursed that he wasn't able to turn down a challenge.
"Twenty bucks Numbuh 5 pounds him. Deal?"
"Deal." The two shook hands.
"It stopped raining..." Kuki stated as the last of the thunder boomed in their ears.
Abby took Nigel's second of realization to grab her hat and put it back on as the rest joined them.
"Time to go back." Nigel said looking a bit disappointed. It was obvious he enjoyed flirting with Abby.
"Did you get Numbuh 4's answer?" Abby asked as they proceeded on their way back.
Kuki hit her head. "I forgot."
"Then you won't be so mad when I tell you Numbuh 5 forgot as well."
"It's o.k. I find out from Numbuh 1 right now." She said quickening her pace to catch up with their leader.
Abby fell behind to talk with Hoagie whom was smiling like crazy. "What? Got a date with Lizzie or suttin'"
Hoagie showed Abby the twenty dollar bills in his hands. "Thanks for not hitting Numbuh 1."
Abby starred at him in confusion. "You're welcome... I guess."
"Hiya Numbuh 1." Kuki said cheerfully as she finally caught up.
"Hi, Numbuh 3." He replied.
"Can I ask you something?"
"Sure."
"Do you like Numbuh 5?"
Nigel went pink to red. "That's my business Numbuh 3."
"Well, that wasn't my question."
"What was it then?"
"Uh- I just wanted to know if you missed the old Numbuh 3."
"Why are you so curious about that?"
"You see-"
"I actually prefer not to live in the past."
"I see."
*You can take that as a, 'I wish I never met her.'* ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Nigel sat down at the table. His thoughts were on the question that 'Kayonie' asked previously that day. Of course he missed Kuki. The tree house was quiet without her. They were all lost without her, especially Wallabee.
"What's eatin' you?" Abby asked taking a seat next to him.
"Nothing." Abby glared at him. "Numbuh 3 asked her infamous question today."
"Oh. And what did you say?"
"I told her that I prefer not to live in the past."
"Wrong answer." Abby mumbled.
"What was that?"
"Nuttin.'"
"Mmhhmm."
