#4's POV
"Oof!" Me an' Kenzie hit da back of da tree house. "Ohh, Ah'm sooo gonna kill 'im!" Ah yelled, being my tough self. Then Ah felt a pair o' arms bolt
meh from behind, hugging meh. "Calm down, #4!" Kenzie whispered as she squeezed a lil' tighter, pushin' 'er cheek against mah own. Ah tried not tuh blush an' then Ah flipped Kenzie ova. Kenzie looks a' meh up side down, then jus' grabbed mah shoulders and flipped me. We keep' wrestling fo' a
while, then Tommy grabbed meh by mah hood, lifted meh up, and growled, "Leave my lil' sis alone." Where'd he com' from? Fer some reason, Tommy was mighty touchy 'bout Kenzie. Ah 'tink she can look out fer 'erself. "Relax, Fireball." Kenzie calmed her brother. (Fireball is Tommy's nickname.) "We were jus' wrestling. An' besides, he needs some exercise." Tommy humphed and dropped meh. "I don't care if he's a complete couch potato, Tom Boy. You are my lil' sister, and as such it's my job to take care of you. Are you even listening to me?" Da whole time, Kenzie 'ad made a puppet out of
'er 'and, acting like it was makin' a speech as she pretended to fall 'sleep. Then 'er 'ead jolted up, an' she answered, "Of course not, dearest big brother." wit' a chibi smile that no one can turn away. Tommy rolled
'is eyes and laughed. "Whatever." Tommy was tall, 4 inches taller than Kenzie, wit' raven black hair that fell in his eyes an' bright brown eyes. He always wears a red T-shirt no matta' how cold it is. an' black jeans. He is da leadah a' Kenzie's secta, an' he's just a normal kid. 'Cept fer da fact tha' he can control fire, and he's as stubborn as an ox. He also was da trainah of #5; he was da one tuh teach 'er da spy stuff. From 'is days
trainin' 5, he always wears a big, floppy red hat, backwards. Kenzie cleared 'er throat an' outta nowhere, #5 popped up an' hugged him 'round da neck. " Yo, Tommeh. Wazzup?" She purred in his eah, an' Ah was glad tuh see he was blushin' as Numbuh 5's cheek brushed 'is. Tommy tried to regain 'is dignity, and he cleared 'is throat and said, "H-Hey, Numbuh Five. Nuttin', I guess. Wanna play some Mario? I brought my X box." #5 grinned. "Sho'. Bet
#5'll beat cha though." Kenzie rolled her eyes. "Of course, you will."
Tommy glared at 'er fo' a warnin' but she ignored him. "He lets you win every time. When he's playin' you, he doesn't put down the acceleration."
Tommy's eyes dulled. I knew 'e was 'bout to blow up wit' anger. "I couldn't. The A button is broken, and I came here to fix it. You didn't use it either, the other day when you were playing #4." Kenzie glared at 'im,
blushin' like a stoploight, an' replied, "Because it was broken." Tommy grinned like a demon. "Exactly." Tommy, Kenzie, #5, an' meh plunked dow' in fronta da TV, Tommy pluggin' in da game system. He gave a controller tuh each o' us. "Okay, I'm red, #5. I think you are blue, Sis, you're orange, and Beetles, you're black. Let's play." Then there was a strange crash. All
'o' us looked up, and there was da Delightful's'." Hello. Quints. What
a..delight to see you here." Then they gave out their creepy laugh. Mackenzie got up, jumped off the couch, an' made a great 4-point landing in front of them. "Well, well, well. If it isn't the Delightful Dorks. What makes you think you can beat me? I always kick your butts." Next second,
Kenzie was staring into the tube of a gun that could use Numbuh 2 as a plug. Kenzie went pale. "Uhhm." Kenzie tried to back up, but another gun the same size came dow'! Ah was 'bout to up an' help, but Tommy held meh back. "She can handle this. She'll be ok." Sounded loike he was reassuring
'imself. " Come on, Kenzie! You can beat 'em!" Ah yelled loudly. Kenzie grinned at me, and her hands began to glow. Then, Kenzie threw an orange star-bolt at both guns. It blew up in poor Kenzie's face! "MACKENZIE!" Ah cried, an' Ah only call 'er by 'er real name when Ah'm real worried 'bout
'er. Then Ah heard coughing. Kenzie stumbled out o' the smoke, an' collapsed on mah shoulder. "Jeez, I hate Delightful Dorks and their guns."
She moaned as she settled her arm 'round mah shoulders. Ah carefully glanced dow' at mah best friend. "Kenzie, ya 'aight?" She smiled faintly.
"I think so. Numbuh 4?" Relaxin' a lil, grinnin' slightly, Ah answered,
"Hmm?" She frowned, an' squinted 'er eyes, as though she was havin' trouble. "Why is the room all dark an' goin' in circles?" Mah eyes widened, an' as fast as Ah could, Ah found Mary, her healin' sistah. Mary has black hair, like da rest o' 'em, and her eyes are a bright green. She wears 'er 'air in pigtails wit' pink stripes in 'em, and wears all pink. Da girliest girl alive. "Okay, what now?" moaned Mary. "Numbuh 1 was trying to teach me how to commission!" Ah was in a complete panic. "Kenzie is dying!" Kenzie was lookin' pretty sick. Her face was pale, she was breathin' real fast,
and she was beginnin' tuh close her eyes. "No, Mackenzie, stay awake. Please." Ah begged her. Ah didn't want 'er to die! Kenzie moaned lightly, and said, "Why? I'm sooo tired. My head really hurts." Then Kenzie groaned again. Mary faltered. "Well, this is a case of rigotemortis. I don't think I can fix that." Ah gently rubbed mah cheek against Kenzie's. "Don' worry,
Kenzie. Ah won' let you die." I whispered. Kenzie gave a soft chuckle. "What? I'm just tired." Her arm twitched, an' she frowned. "I can't move my
legs. Or my arms. Wally, what's wrong with me?" She looked so innocent, unknowingly giving meh the puppy dog eyes. She looked frightened. Ah felt
loike cryin', but Ah refused to let Kenzie see meh cry. "You're a lil' sick, Kenzie. Buht don' worry, you'll get bettah. Won't she?" Ah turned tuh Mary, who looked sad. "Uh, this disease is very hard to pin-point, so if
her immune system doesn't take care of it, I think she will die. Let me tell ya, the sickness works fast, so she might die-" Suddenly, Kenzie went
limp, her head fallin' back, and her eyes glazed. "Mackenzie! Wake up!
Please!" Ah was so scared, tears were falling down mah cheeks, an' Ah didn't even notice. "Any second." Finished Mary, lowering her head. Kenzie
didn' move, an' 'er face was blank. "Mackenzie! WAKE UP!" Mah voice was choked wit' tears. Ah laid mah head on 'ers, sobbing uncontrollably. Then,
Ah was knocked off the couch, an' tickled till Ah knew Ah was red in da face. Ah pushed mah tears away so Ah could see. Kenzie was sittin' on mah stomach, grinning like a hyena. "I-I can't b-believe you.. FELL FOR IT!" She began to laugh, collapsing on mah chest. Ah looked dow' at 'er, an' she was laughing so hard, she was also crying. Then, she turned to her sistah, an' said, "Thanks for covering for me, Mary. I know there's no such thing
as that disease." Then, Kenzie gently kissed mah head an' hugged meh,
becomin' solemn. "Sorry, I just couldn't resist. A perfect setup, me slightly hurt, and the Delightfuls gone, I-I just wanted to see how you'd react. Sorry." She looked truly sorry. Ah smiled gently. "Don' worry. Ah just got scared for ya." Kenzie's eyes gleamed, an' that meant the shelia was thinkin', 'Yay! He cares!' Tommy then interrupted, "Is it just me, or is there way too much fluffiness here?" as he once again pulled meh up by
mah hood. Jeez, can't he jus' leave us ALONE?!? Foinally losing it, Ah
kicked Tommy hard in da chest. 'E fell ova, an' Ah landed on Kenzie. Ah grinned a bit, an' then saw Tommy gettin' up. "Run!" Hissed Kenzie, as we scrambled toward mah room. We both screamed like lil' girls as we ran from
Tommy, who was mad at meh for kickin' him, an' mad at Kenzie for doin' nuttin. Next thing Ah knew, Kenzie 'ad scooped meh up, and we were flyin' ova the tree house! "Wow! Kenzie, this is awesome!" Ah cried, as she gently set meh on a cloud, an' sat dow' next to me. The sun was setting, an' when
Ah turned to Kenzie, the sun was shinin' on 'er face. 'She looks so beautiful.' Ah found mahself thinkin'. 'Oh jeez, Ah can't think that! She's mah friend! On da othah hand, Ah thought she was hot in da beginning.' Ah felt mahself blush as Ah sneaked anothah look at 'er. She turned an' looked meh right in da face. Then, the sheila grinned a bit. "What?" Ah asked her, wanting to know what 'ad made 'er smile. "Well, you might think this is a strange thing to say, but. you look real cute, with the sun on your face an' all." Mustering mah courage, Ah leaned ova an' kissed her lightly on the cheek. Kenzie froze a second, an' Ah was afraid she'd smack meh. Then, taking meh by mah shoulders, she pulled meh close, so we were inches apart. Her big, brown, shiny eyes looked into mine, an' for da first time, Ah felt helpless. Ah really couldn't move. Ah could jus' sit there, mouth slightly
open, breathin' fast, as Kenzie held me by mah upper arms. "Promise me something." Kenzie whispered, her eyes glowing. Mah mouth went dry. "Yea?" Ah had enough breath tuh say. "Promise me you'll never leave me. You're my best friend, and even though I've only known you for 3 months, I feel like I can't live without you." She lowered 'er 'ead in shame, so 'er eyes were hidden. "Nevah." Ah replied as Ah snuggled against her. She smiled slightly
an' kissed me gently on the cheek, and Ah felt loike Ah was in heaven.
OK! Another chappie! If you liked this, look for
Love, Life, and Lavender Fur, ok? You'll like it. Chow!
