Yeeeeeessss! I got two updates in tonight! Be proud! Be a nerd! Okay, never mind...that's kind of an inside joke with a friend...Hehe...
Kooky34Girl: (sniffle, glomp!) You are so very kind! I am very happy to know this fanfic drives you mad! Oh, and the "Best Friends" song? I can stand that, that my cousin, the only other person I know in real life who watches KND, sings it constantly just to bug me...but I've grown used to it. :D
Lacey01: Yay! Look! I'm updating – and "poor Numbuh Four"? Oh, you think THAT was "poor Numbuh Four"...just you wait...muahaha...HamGirl168: AAAAHHH! Puppy dog eyes! NOOOOOOOO!!!!! Lol, thanks for r/ring! The puppy dog eyes got to me so I decided to update.
Tai Kawei: Of course I updated, silly! XD
Princess Rusty: I hope this is fluffy enough for you...the flames freaked me out, so I made this...uh...fluffy. :O
Jasikaermine: "Update quickly"? Hahahaha...oh, you were serious? Apparently you haven't seen my slow updating on THEKISS...Thanks for reviewing anyway! :)
Tristan Bits: Eeeehh!! Thank-you, thank-you! X)
RoBeN: I'm writing more! Actually "typing" more...okay, that was lame, sorry.
Lyzz2nwn: When I blush it does show...of course, I don't get the sweaty palms, either, but my friend does when she's nervous...so that part was added just for her! Although she'll probably never read this considering that she doesn't understand KND that much...
Alright, there ya go...now the disclaimer, which I hate with uttermost passion, yup.
Disclaimer: If dreams come true, I will one day own the KND. But sadly, I don't as of this moment...I know the pity you must take on me...:(
Chapter Four: I Pinky-Swear Promise
The day was just getting worse for poor Numbuh Four. Numbuh Three was still forcing him to look for her stupid stuffed animal – there was no way he could just ignore the giant puppy dog eyes she gave him and the tears that had formed in her eyes when he told her that "she could live without one a'er dumb dolls 'cause she 'ad about a thousand others".
"Ah don't see 'im, Numbuh Three," sighed Numbuh Four, placing himself on the couch. "Can ah jus' watch some T.V. or somethin' now?"
"But Numbuh Foooooooour," she whined. "Mr. Cherrybottom Snuggles is my favorite!"
"'Ow can ya jus' pick a favorite outta the 'undred in yer room? If ah remember correctly, the room is covered with Rainbow Monkey crud."
He wasn't lying, either. If any person was to peek inside the girl's room, he or she would have so many Rainbow Monkeys' eyes staring at them that they would lose count after the first fifteen.
"PWWWWWEEEEEEEEESE? I'll let you watch one of your favorite movies and leave you alone and never ask for anything again!!"
Somehow that offer was not that thrilling to him. He knew Numbuh Three would come singing in the middle of the movie without even remembering the promise and sit down next to him. She then would ask questions every five minutes about what was going on, and who was who, and things like that. She could be quite annoying during movies that didn't have singing cartoon animals—that was for sure.
"Oh, really? Ya promise not ter come and disturb meh?"
"Pinky-swear promise!" She looked at him shyly, holding out her pinky to him. Numbuh Four scoffed at it.
"Ah don't do those girly things," he said, turning his head the other way.
"But Numbuh Four..." Numbuh Three thought for a second, and then an impish grin became visible on her face. "If you don't pinky-swear promise with me, then I won't let you watch your movie, and I will tie you down to a chair and make you watch Rainbow Monkey Babies with me all day long next Tuesday!"
Numbuh Four's face paled. She wasn't joking – last time he hadn't believed she would force him into that Rainbow Monkey movie, but she had...somehow. But that only lasted about an hour and a half...this time she was talking all day.
"Foine," he said, defeated, holding out his pinky to her. She giggled and hooked his to her own.
"Yay! Pinky-swear promise!"
Numbuh Four did not need a mirror to know how tomato-red he was – the heat burning his face was enough proof for him. "Y-yeah...now let's go find this cruddy dolly a'yers..."
Numbuh Three did not unlatch her pinky from his, and he struggled to get it free. "No, no, no! This is not how a pinky-swear promise works!"
"Then 'ow does it work?" He asked with a huff, clearly not as amused as Numbuh Three was acting.
"You have to say an oath!"
"If ah 'aveta say an oath, then," Numbuh Four tried to remove his pinky from hers, but she was holding on so tight he didn't think it would be smart to keep pulling. "Ah ain't sayin' no cruddy oath!"
"Okay, I guess I will see you next Tuesday!"
"...foine..."
Numbuh Three smiled at him, victorious. "Okay, repeat after me... 'I pinky-swear promise.'"
"Ah pinky-swear promise..."
"'To help Numbuh Three.'"
"Ter 'elp Numbuh Three."
"'Find Mr. Cherrybottom Snuggles.'"
"Find that cruddy doll."
"Numbuh Four!"
"Numbuh Four!"
"NO!!" Numbuh Three slapped her head with her free hand. "That wasn't part of the oath! You have to do this correctly or I'll never let go of your pinky."
In some way, Numbuh Four was able to tell that she wasn't joking, so with a sigh he said, "Find Mr. Cherrybottom Snuggles. There, now can ah 'ave mah pinky back now?"
"Nope. You have to make up an oath for me."
"Oh, really?" An evil smile crept its way onto his face. "Okay, then, repeat. 'Ah pinky-swear promise.'"
"I pinky-swear promise!" She echoed happily.
"'Ter let Numbuh Four.'"
"To let Numbuh Four."
"'Watch 'is movie in peace. Also, ter never bother 'im again ter play tea party or any other cruddy girly game.'"
She stared at him, a little bit puzzled. "Watch his movie in peace and to, um, don't bother tea party again to him or cruddy game!"
Numbuh Four rolled his eyes. "That's not w'ot ah said, Numbuh Three..."
"Well, you make the oath too long!" She complained. "I can't remember everything!"
"Oh well...at least ya got the movie part roight. Now, LEGGO A'MAH PINKY!!"
She did it in a matter of seconds and jumped up. "Okay, now let's go find Mr. Cherrybottom Snuggles!" Then, she ran to the kitchen, leaving Numbuh Four sitting in the couch.
He leaned back into the soft cushion. "Ah can't believe ah jus' pinky-swear promised 'er...ah well...sooner we find the monkey, the sooner ah can watch a movie."
And there's your chapter four. Be proud! Be a nerd! Okay, I'll stop now...
Next Chapter info: Numbuh Three and Numbuh Four have an interesting food fight in the kitchen...fluffiness all around! :D
