A/N: AND! ANOTHER UPDATE! It's REALLY short, but good! Enjoy!!

Disclaimer: ...honestly...Oo...I've still gotta do this? Fine...I don't own it...if I did then I wouldn't wait for 6 or more seasons to hook 3 and 4 up as an offical item...


Mashi re-entered his room through his computer to see Negative Numbuh four waiting for him. He smirked.

"Hey, if I didn't know any better, I'd say you were Numbuh four." He said, folding his arms. Yllaw put his hands on his hips.

"Well, that WAS the plan." He said, stroking at his newly shaved chin and showing off how good he did getting rid of his goatee. He nodded towards Mashi.

"So, they fall for it?" He asked. Mashi had a smug look on his face.

"Like sap from a tree bark." He said.

"Excellent! I knew they would! Now the REAL fun can began!!" Yllaw said, laughing evilly as he headed out of Mashi's room. Mashi pulled out his PDA and looked over his to-do list once more:

Get Numbuh 3 to fall head over heels for me

Ruin Numbuh 2's dorky ship

Tell Numbuh 5 that Numbuh 2 hates her

Tell Numbuh 2 that Numbuh 5 hates him

Spread other lies about various operatives to each other

Break into their security defense systems

Give defense system codes and other codes to the Delightful Children

Discover their darkest fears and secrets and expose them to the Delightful Children

Blame it all on Numbuh 4

"Indeed it can…" He said to himself. 'I'll just get this moron (Negative Numbuh four) to do all the dirty work for me, which'll make it ten times easier for Positive Numbuh four to take ALL the blame and receive ALL the TROUBLE! HA, HA, HA! Mashi, you're a Genius!' He thought. He then followed Yllaw out of his house and they headed to the Sector V treehouse.

Meanwhile, at the treehouse,

Hoagie had gone from watching cartoons to playing a videogame, which wasn't much fun without his best bud with him, but he was too lazy to go and get Numbuh four from his room. So, he settled for playing solo. Numbuh five was practically dozing off on the sofa and Numbuh one had still yet to come out of his room. Just then, the door to the treehouse BURST open and there stood a rather angry Numbuh three. She immediately screamed, spooking Hoagie and Abby so bad that they both jumped. Unfortunately for Abby, Hoagie was more spooked than her and ended up jumping in her lap.

"Oof!" She cried. She stared at the shivering Hoagie angrily.

"BOY! Get OFF ME!" She cried, pushing him off her and causing him to roll back over onto the floor. He let out a cry as he hit the ground and mumbled something incoherently. Abby rolled her eyes and rose up to look over the back of the couch.

"Numbuh three, what's gotten into you girl? What's wrong?" She asked. Kuki growled before screaming again,

"It's….those….STUPID ADULTS!! I was in line for practically HOURS, waiting to buy Numbuh four this present. After the first hour and thirty minutes, I told the guy I'd leave…but Nooooooooo….he INSISTED that I stay while he LOOKED for the toy….WASTING MY TIME!!" Kuki cried, angrily pacing the floor of the treehouse with the shopping bag in her hand.

"I told him about five times that I'd just shop somewhere else, but the stupid idiot just would NOT LET ME LEAVE!! UGH!!" She screamed. Abby and Hoagie cringed.

"So…after about…THREE HOURS and THIRTY MINUTES, I got up to leave when he FINALLY says, 'Oh, here it is!' with a big stupid grin on his face! Like he knew it had been there all along!! He didn't even look there, and I swear it's like he purposely avoided looking in that area of his store altogether when he was looking for the toy!! MAN! I am like SO TICKED OFF! ARGH!! I need a drink!" Kuki fumed, marching to the kitchen. She fumbled around with a glass as she tried to steadily pour herself a cup of sweet lemonade…and somehow, she managed. Abby and Hoagie stared at her with wide eyes as she took a sip of the lemonade in the same manner as an adult taking a shot of liquor….well…from what they'd seen on tv. Kuki smacked her lips then looked at her friends.

"WHAT?!" She cried. They shook their heads quickly and she took another, longer sip. After which, she closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and let out a loooooong sigh. She was trying to reach her peaceful state again. Abby smirked.

"Dang girl, that clerks man really got you RILED up huh? Glad you left before he faced your famous Numbuh three Fury." She said. Kuki eyed her friend.

"Not funny Numbuh five." She said. She looked around.

"Say, have you guys seen Numbuh four?" She asked. Hoagie finally piped up, being to afraid to say anything before.

"Last we checked, we went to his room…he was actually looking for you…" Hoagie said. Kuki stared at him for a moment before smiling. Wally had been looking for her? She giggled and skipped off to his room.

"Thanks!" She cried over her shoulder. Abby and Hoagie stared at each other and sighed. That girl was SO High Maintenance. Kuki rushed to Wally's room excitedly.

"NUMBUH FOUR! I got it! I've got your gift and….Numbuh four?" She looked around but didn't see him anywhere. Where was he? She then spotted an open gift box on the floor. Frowning, she went up to it before a slight odor hit her nose; sort of a sweet smelling aroma that kind of made her dizzy. She shook her head and took a few steps back. What was this doing in Wally's room? She looked around anxiously and worriedly. For more importantly, the REAL question was….where was Wally?
