Now at the age of 12, Numbuhs One through Five are getting tense, and their friendship is being torn. But although one sex wins the first battle, do they regret it the most?

Numbuhs one three, plus Numbuh five entered their tree house, drenched in green slime, sneezing as their noses dripped. Moaning and groaning as they got boxes of tissues out of the cabinet, they all flopped down on the two couches.

"We've really, really oughtta put a stop to that guy..." Numbuh One, blowing his nose on a tissue, stated in a groggy voice.

"Numbuh Five agrees..." Numbuh Five replied, sneezing afterwards.

"Don't worry, guys," Numbuh Two stated, sneezing, "our colds are usually gone in around three. All we need is some good sleep... Which is where I'll be heading the minute after I wash this goop off of me and eat dinner..."

"Yeah, right, Numbuh Two!" Numbuh Three yelled, waving her over-sized sleeve in the air, "Last time we fought him, I was sick for weeks! Which was way longer then you!"

"And whose fault do you think that is?" He replied cockily, folding his arms.

"It is not Numbuh Three's fault she got hit dead-on, Numbuh Two. If you wouldn't have knocked 'er down..." Numbuh Five broke in, standing up for Numbuh Three.

"Nuh uh! If you wouldn't have crashed into me, Numbuh Five, then I wouldn't have knocked her down!" He snapped back, blowing his nose.

"Guys, guys. We're all sick. That's what's probably making us fight; we should all just lie down and..." Numbuh One stated, but it seemed no one wanted to agree.

"What are you tryin' to say, Numbuh One? That it's my fault I was sick so long?" Kuki growled, hands on her hips.

"Yeah! And that it's YOUR fault for crashing into him!" Numbuh One yelled, also losing his cool. As the pointing of fingers continued, Numbuh Four came in through the door and flopped on the ground, completely drenched in green. He looked up to the fighting between his group mates. Wally tilted his head, "Um... Guys?"

"You guys would still be fighting the Common Cold if it wasn't for my Orange Juice Cannon!"

"What? Numbuh Two, that's Kids Next Door's design, not yours!"

"Um... Guys?"

"WHAT!? Numbuh One! I thought you were on my side! After all I've done for you..."

"I was on your side until you started pouting like Numbuh Three does when she doesn't get her way!"

"What!? I do NOT pout like a baby!"

"He's got a point there, Numbuh Three!"

"Numbuh Five!"

"Err... Guys... Could you please-?"

"I wouldn't be talking, Numbuh One, you are JUST as babyish as Numbuh Three!"

"...If not more."

"WHAT!? How can you talk to your leader this way? Ooh, I'm Numbuh Five. I must replace the word "I" with my Numbuh because I have no originality, so I must be stupid to sound creative!"

"I don't CARE if you are the leader! Who made you the leader anyway?"

"What!? Numbuh Five's very creative! You don't have a creative bone-"

"WILL YOU PLEASE SHUT UP!?" Wally yelled, at the brim of exploding. The pairs of boys and girls zipped their lips, preparing to be yelled at by the clueless Numbuh Four. "Will one of you, PLEASE, without speakin' ovuh eachother, explain to me why we're fighting?"

"Numbuh Three thought it would be a bright idea to blaim ME for her being sick for weeks last time..."

"Which is highly exaggerated if you ask me..." Nigel added, recieving a death glare from Kuki.

"It is not!"

"There you go again, pouting!"

"I am not pouting!"

"Guys..."

"Numbuh Three was NOT pouting this time!"

"I thought you were on MY side! What do you mean, "this time"!?"

"Numbuh Five means that you act babyish, but just not now!"

"She's as babyish as ever if you ask me!"

"Numbuh One agrees." mimicked Nigel, attempting to steal Abby's voice and third person-ness.

"GUYS!! LISTEN!" Wally shouted at the top of his lungs, "WILL YOU PLEASE SHUT THE HELL UP!? I'VE HAD IT!" Nigel, Abby, Hoagie, and Kuki blinked, feeling the vibrations shake them.

"Thank you. Geeze, arguing over something as stupid as something that happened weeks ago... ARGH!" Wally yelled, heading into the shower as he swiped some mucus off of his head.

"Numbuh Four's right. I, as your leader, should've done more to stop this arguing. I'm sorry, team."

"Numbuh Five too."

"Me three."

"Me four..." Kuki yawned, heading toward her room, "Sooo sleepy! Must... make it... to... bed." Falling to the ground with a "clunk" in her disgusting, mucus-covered, day clothes, she seemed to tired to care. Numbuh Two just shook his head and left.

"I... I can't believe I just let that go..." Nigel mumbled, shaking his head in fear, "Maybe she was right, maybe I shouldn't have been made the leader..." He continued, staring at the sleeping Kuki.

"I'm sure she didn't mean it like that, Boss." Abby started, putting a hand on Nigel's shoulder, "It was Numbuh Three's rage talkin, although I didn't think Numbuh Three had any rage..."

They both laughed a bit before Abby sent Nigel to bed, and then began pondering how to get Kuki awake.

"Hey, Numbuh Five, what're ya-? Ugh..." Wally started, tripping over the sleeping Kuki.

"Can you believe she's still asleep?"

"Yeah, I know. You would think after me crushin' 'er, she would at least start to wake up." He shook her back and forth, shuddering in disgust at the mucus she was covered in. "How're we gonna wake 'er up?"

"Just leave it to Numbuh Five... She'll figure it out!" Then, with a nod, Wally left the room, wondering how the hell Abby was going to wake Kuki up.

Wally stretched, the sun creeping in on him through his window. "Ah, another great-Hmm?" Unfortunately, as headed towards the kitchen, there was fighting.

"Fine!" Numbuh One and Two replied. "Why don't you just leave if you think that! See what we care!" The Hoagie yelled loudly, causing Numbuh Four to tilt his head, wondering why they were mad at each other, AGAIN!

"Why should we leave? You're the stupid people who started it!" Numbuh Three replied, curling her fist within her sleeve.

"Guys, guys, wait! What happened here?" Numbuh Four asked standing in the middle. Numbuh 1, 2, 3, and 5 started yelling, and Numbuh Four covered his ears. "WILL YOU ALL SHUT UP!?" He yelled. Everyone stopped and was silent, until Numbuh Three sneezed. They were still a little sick from yesterday, afterall.

"Numbuh Four's right, we shouldn't be fighting. We're the Kids Next Door, and not to mention friends. Let's just forget about it and eat breakfast." Numbuh One stated, yawning.

"Numbuh Five agrees." Numbuh Five stated, stretching, "It's time to chow down."

Numbuhs Two, Three, and Four nodded, and they all awaited their turn to pour some cereal. Eating in silence as they did didn't support healing their friendship at all. After a breakfast of glaring at eachother, they just left to their rooms.

"Stupid Numbuh Two!" Numbuh Three yelled, kicking a teddy bear that conveniently had goggles across the room. "Stupid Numbuh One! Always bossin' people around!" She yelled again, kicking another bear with sunglasses. Another teddy bear that was orange sat in the corner with a confused look on its face.

"Ooh! Just because we're boys we can push girls around! Well, one of these days me and Numbuh Five aren't gonna take it anymore!" Kuki sighed, sitting on her bed. "We were friends... What's happening?"

"Numbuh Three always gets her way... It's so unfair..." Numbuh Two mumbled as he read his comic book, tossing and turning to find a comfortable position on his chair, "She's such a baby... And Numbuh Five, she's so pushy! Just because they're girls doesn't mean we have to go easy on them! If it was Yipper facing a female vision...Ooh would they be in trouble!" Hoagie then started punching and kicking the air as if he was the Flying Yipper.

"Argh..." Numbuh Five mumbled, punching her couch, "How could Numbuh Five lose her cool like that? She's nevuh been so tense before... Goin' off on Numbuh One and Numbuh Two like that..."

"Who's the leaders of these missions, hmm Numbuh Five? Numbuh One! And do you know what Numbuh One thinks, Numbuh Three? Both you AND Numbuh Five are just stupid girls who don't realize what they're doing!" Numbuh One yelled, throwing the book he was reading down.

Numbuh Four just punched his punching bag as he always did when he was alone and bored. "I don't get it... It was like this just a few weeks ago... We almost broke up our team because of that! Argh!" With one final punch, he dropped onto the floor, pounding his fist into the cement of his floor.

"What do you mean, it's because we're girls!?" Numbuh Five yelled, grabbing Numbuh Three's wrist. "Common, do ya wanna leave this time, Numbuh Three?"

"You bet, Numbuh Five! We're leavin'!" Numbuh Three stated, grabbing a whistle and blowing it, as a group of hamsters went into her room and brought out the truckloads of stuffed animals, "And the hamsters are comin' with us!"

"Where are you guys goin'?" Numbuh Four asked, scratching his head.

"Anywhere but here with you arrogant guys!" Numbuh Five replied, Numbuh Three nodded.

"Yeah! Girls are better, anyways!" Numbuh Three stated, as Numbuh 1, 2, and 4 shouted, "What!?"

"Then get out of my tree house!" Numbuh One yelled, pointing to the exit.

"You've been spending WAAY too much time with Numbuh 86..." Numbuh Two stated.

"Fine, leave! But you won't be a part of the Kids Next Door anymore!" Numbuh Four yelled, now angered and agreeing with Numbuhs 1 and 2 from the "Girls are better, anyways!" comment.

"Fine!" They both shouted, leaving. The last thing heard of the girls after the door slammed was, "Numbuh Five, where do we go now?"

The boys just stared at the door and the stuffed animal Numbuh Three left behind silently.

"Um, guys, did Numbuh Three and Numbuhb Five just leave the Kids Next Door?" Numbuh Two asked to the silent room.

"Perhaps..." Numbuh one replied, sighing afterwards.

"Oh, man. How did this happen...?" Numbuh Four wondered out loud, picking up the stuffed animal and squeezing it, "We've gotta get them back!"

I am glad I finally revised this chapter. :3 It's nice and long, compared to how it used to be. It also makes more sense, well, at least to me!
