Chapter 5

(Back in the treehouse)

"Okay Wally! Tell me your secret!"

Numbuh 4 scowled. "No way! You tell me first!"

"No!"

"Yes!"

"No!"

"Yes!"

"NO!"

"YES!"

"okay okay!" she exclaimed. "Geez Mr. Pushypants! My secret is..."

Numbuh 4 was on the edge of his seat. He felt like the world depended on this secret he was about to hear. His eyes widened and he leaned forward.

"My secret is... I faked you having a twisted ankle and a broken arm."

Numbuh 4 was shocked. He obviously thought that she was going to confess she loves him, but he was wrong. He looked down and his hair covered his eyes. Disappointment filled him up.

"Eh really?"

"Yah," she said. Tears started to fill up. "I'm sorry Wally! I know you like the Kids Next Door moonbase, but I wanted to...eh..."

"What?"

"Im not telling!" she said. "I already told you one secret! Tell me yours! Tell me yours!"

Numbuh 4 started to walk away. He couldn't expose himself! He locked him room and started to think.
What am I going to do? I cant tell her! But she'll bug me on no end! Ah crud! This is stupid! He punched his punching bag and sent it flying across the room.

"Numbuh 4?" You there? Are you okay? I have something for you! IT'S THE BESTEST BEST THING EVER! I was saving it for your birthday, but I'll give it too you now!" Numbuh 4 walked out reluctantly.

"SURPRISE!" she said. She had nothing under her shirt or behind her back. Or at least that's what he though.

"Ah, Kuki! Leave me alone!" He was walking back into her room when he felt a really cold splat of something hit his neck. He cringed and saw Kuki run away. He scraped off the stuff. Ew, mustard. He ran toward her. "IM GONNA GET YOU FOR THAT!"

"hehe!" She ran and he followed. He finally found himself in the kitchen with her. They looked at each other and squinted. Numbuh 3 had a big piece of cake in her hand. Numbuh 4 took a big bag of gummy bears

"FOOD FIGHT!" They screamed. It was on. Numbuh 3 took her cake and threw it at Numbuh 4's face. He ducked and he started chucking gummy bears at her. He quickly took a big gallon of soda and dumped it on Kuki. Kuki retaliated by spraying him with a hose and squirting mustard at him afterward. She laughed at him. Wally looked at Kuki mischiviously and took some Jello from the fridge and threw it at her. It hit her and she laughed. She threw a big bad of flour at him and he got hit right in the chest. They laughed and laughed. Kuki fell on Wally laughing. She rolled off and laughed some more. Wally looked at her laughing, chest heaving. He had never felt more close to her. He blushed and said,

"Eh, Kuki? I need to tell you something."
