Chapter 2: Defeat

The Kids Next Door had just left. Numbuh 3 looked at Numbuh 4 anxiously.

"YAY! We get to spend the whole day together! WEE!" Numbuh 4 grunted.

"Yah...great..." Numbuh 3 looked at him for a while.

"Wanna play video games? Ill carry you over!" Numbuh 4 blushed. Being carried by his love was... a little awkward.

"eh...no thank yoUUUU!!" And she had already lifted him up and begun to carry him over to the television. She plopped him down and gave him a controller. She put in his favorite game "KILLER RACE CARS" and sat next to him.

"Im gonna beat you Numbuh 4!" She said and they began to play. At the end, Numbuh 3 won (of course) and Numbuh 4 groaned.

"WHAT?! You cheated or something! That's not fair! Uh, just go get me a soda!" Numbuh 3 got up to get him a soda. She took a step and tripped on the wire. She fell right on top of Numbuh 4. He blushed. Their faces were touching. If Numbuh 4 hadnt turned his face last moment, he would've got himself caught up in a lip lock with Numbuh 3. She quickly got up and blushed and ran to get a soda. Numbuh 4 used his good arm to put himself back up.

Okay Numbuh 4, keep calm. Its okay! Just keep calm and don't panic. You didn't kiss her! You just bumped into her! And why is my face always burning up?! I don't get it! Jeez...

She came back with a soda and he opened it. She looked at it longingly.

"Can I have some Numbuh 4? Theres no more sodas left!"

Numbuh 4 hesitated and said, "eh, wont you get...germs or something?" Numbuh 3 giggled. "Of course not silly!" And she took a big sip of his soda. She handed it back to him. He took a sip too. His face was burning up. He quickly finished his soda and picked up his game controller to play some more. He kept losing and Numbuh 3 kept cheering. Every time she got happy, he got frustrated. Finally, he exploded.

"WOULD YOU JUST SHUT UP ALREADY?! I GET IT! YOU WON! GET ON WITH YOUR LIFE!"

Numbuh 3 was shocked. She didn't know she was hurting him. She began to cry a little bit.

"Im sorry..." she leaned on him. Her eyes were full of sadness. He was a little surprised. He had never seen Kuki act so serious. It took him a while to notice that she was asleep. He tried to push her off, but she had him pinned.

"eh, Kuki? Kuki...? You awake? Wake up...get off me... aw crud, how long she going to sleep?" He waited around. HE felt strange. For some weird reason, he seemed to like the young girl sleeping on his shoulder. She was so peaceful and innocent. Her head slipped and fell onto his lap. His face burned up.

Aw crud! Why did she have to put her head THERE?!

He couldn't push her off. He didn't have the heart. Was he turning soft? After about 40 minutes, She woke up. Numbuh 4 had fallen asleep as well. She crept away and turned on her music. Really Loud.

"AHHH!!!!!!!" Screamed Numbuh 4. He jumped up and started thrashing his arms wildly. "I KNOW YOU'RE THERE DELIGTFUL... Kuki?" She giggled. She turned the music to the dancing channel.

"Come on Numbuh 4! Lets dance! And listen! A slow one's coming up!"
