As they entered the woods, the blond girl breathed, "Now we can talk."

Our friend Numbuh Three asked her as they stepped onto the trail, "Are we going to the plateau?"

Ginny nodded, though this was hardly visible in the dark of night. "Yes, we're going to the plateau. Do you have the chart?"

As they walked, Numbuh Three rumaged through her backpack and pulled out a rolled up piece of paper, held with a rubber band. She handed it to her friend. "Here ya go!" she said happily.

"Thanks." As the unlikely pair turned a corner, the blond girl remarked, "Do your friends know that we've been best friends since second grade?"

Numbuh Three shook her head, causing her ebony hair to fly around like a halo. "Do your brothers and sister know?"

As they entered a clearing on top of a hill, the blond girl said rather sadly, "Leah does. So does John. We had to tell him, since I needed the transmitter to fool Father's cameras. But Lee and Dylan don't know yet."

She stretched out the star chart, and the pair lay down in the grass, staring into the star-lit sky.

"That's Sirius, the dog star." Ginny pointed to a dot of light that shone more brillantly then the others. "And that line is Gemini." She pointed to a line of stars with two brillant points on the end.

The happy-go-lucky one studied the chart intensely. "And that's Taurus, right? The one with the shiny belt buckle?"

"Right."

Numbuh Three sighed happily. As her friend ran her eyes down the chart, the girl noticed a ball of light streak across the midnight black sky. "Oooh, a falling star! I call it!"

Ginny raised her head just in time to see the light fly over them, and then it faded into the distance. "Lucky." she murmured, going back to the chart.

"Hmm..." Numbuh Three thought, then said the wish to herself. "I wish that our friends and families could know about our friendship. And that we'll stay friends, no matter what." The stars twinkled merrily in the sky for the rest of the night.

Author's Note/Disclaimer: I still don't own KND. Aw, this chapter is so sweet! Numbuh Three has a heart of gold. And I call HD Dylan. His TVTOME name is Mike, but I don't like that name. Sgamer82 came up with it in their story FARRAH, and I give all credit of that name to them. It's just a better name for the helmet kid, in my opinion.
