Chapter 3: Planting the Stand
"Here," said Numbuh 1 as he threw planks, nails, and a hammer at Numbuh 4, who let them all fall to the ground. "I know it's not much but its all that's left of this place."
Numbuh 4 looked at him with his mouth wide open. "You mean we have to build a cruddy stand from scratch?"
Numbuh 1 stared at him through his sun-glasses until Numbuh 4 took action. He picked up the planks and put the hammer in his back pocket and walked out of the tree house cursing random things under his breath. Numbuh 3 picked up the nails one by one and cradled them in her hands.
She made her way outside and Numbuh 4 carelessly drop the wood on the ground.
"Where did'yah put the lemons?" he asked seeming some-what concerned.
"Numbuh 1 put them in a cooler so they wouldn't get all gross," she said picking up a piece of wood. "Numbuh 2, where's the hammuh?"
"It's is my back pock-ET!" he shrieked because Numbuh 3 grabbed it out.
Numbuh 4 rubbed his rear blushing. "What's with you and my pants?"
Numbuh 3 turned a little pink then laughed out loud by the way Wally reacted. She ignored his question and picked up a nail preparing to hammer away.
"Uh, Numbuh 3, you better let me do that." He got up and kneeled across from her.
"Why?" she frowned.
"Because, err... yah might get hurt," he said nervously grabbing the hammer away from her.
"Okay," she said slyly. "But can I hold the nail?"
"Yeah sure," he replied.
She steadied the nail as Numbuh 4 brought the hammer down on the head of the nail.
"OWWW!" Numbuh 3 cried. "OW, OW, OW, OW... my finger!"
Numbuh 4 dropped the hammer in shock. "Oh my gawd, Numbuh 3!"
"Ow, the pain," she moaned.
Numbuh 4 jumped close to her. "Are yah okay Numbuh 3, oh man, uh, lemme see!"
He grabbed her hand and pulled it out of her long, green sleeves. Nothing, not even a scratch was visible on her ivory skin. He looked up at her in total disbelief.
She stuck out her tongue and giggled, "Got'cha!"
Numbuh 4 flustered with anger and quickly returned back to the stand.
Numbuh 3 frowned. "Numbuh 4, I was joking."
She watched as he pounded the nail angrily. She hung her head then heard Wally give a low sigh.
"Can yah help me with this?"
She smiled joyfully and crawled over next to him.
"Can yah hold this board while I connect them together?"
"Sure!" she smiled.
"Just don't scare me like that again!"
She held the board tightly while he hammered them together. One after another, the stand was becoming more alive with each hammer. Ten minutes has past and finally it was time to hammer in the last nail.
"Numbuh 4 can I do this one? Puh-lez!" she begged.
He thought for a moment and guessed it wouldn't hurt. He gave her the hammer and steadied the nail. She flung the hammer over her head.
"Wait, Numbuh 3!"
She looked at Numbuh 4 questioningly. "Do you think I can't do this Numbuh 4?" she asked him putting her hands on her hips.
"Uh, no... not at all." 'I jus' don't want'chu tah hit my hand.' He thought.
"Okay!" She wobbled the hammer over the nail having one eye closed and her tongue sticking out as she was aiming for the head of the nail.
"Ready?" he asked her.
"Yup, here we go!"
She lifted the hammer over her head. Numbuh 3 felt an itch in her nose but ignored it. She took a deep breath in and out of her nose and brought the hammer down. As she did the itch took its effect and she sneezed. The sneeze caused her to close her eyes in which she missed the target and hit Numbuh 4 on the hand.
"AHHH!" he screamed out in pain.
Numbuh 3 wiped her nose. "Did I get it?"
"No you dummy, you got me!"
"Well sorry but I sneezed!"
Numbuh 4 cursed mentally to himself.
"I'm sorry Numbuh 4... lemme try it again!"
"No, you'll probably break the stand! Give me that hammuh!"
He returned to cursing in his mind. Numbuh 3 smiled to herself. She crawled over to Numbuh 4's side and grabbed his hand that was holding the hammer. He looked at her with no expression on his face.
"Can we do it together then?" she asked softly.
Wally turned redder then the strawberry lollipop he gave her.
"Uh, okay," he gulped.
"Ready... 1, 2, 3!"
With a loud knock the nail went in.
"Yay, we did it Numbuh 4!" She embraced him in a joyful hug and in return he patted her on the back (due to nervous-ness)
"Hey guys!" shouted Numbuh 2 with Numbuh 1 and 5 following behind carrying a cooler.
The five meet up around the stand.
"Great job you two," said Numbuh 1 with a 'thumbs up'.
Numbuh 2 was around the front tapping on a sign. Numbuh's 3 and 4 ran around the front of the stand and gasped in surprise. Numbuh 2 tapped up a sign that said 'LEMONADE' in blue paint with the KND logo in red in the top left corner and '50 cents' in the bottom right corner in yellow.
Numbuh's 1 and 5 lifted up the coolers lid and revealed a big pitcher of freshly sqeezed lemonade surrounded by chunks of ice. Numbuh 5 poured two cups and handed them to 3 and 4.
"You guys deserved it."
The happily drank the sweet juice and smiled.
"Wow, this is really good!" said Numbuh 3.
Numbuh 2 came back with two chairs.
"Man your stations you two, you have some lemonade to sell."
The three walked back to the tree-house and continued with what they were doing. Numbuh 3 smiled at Numbuh 4 who gave her a half smile back. They both sat down and sighed.
"So, did you like the lemonade Numbuh 4?"
"Eh, s'alright," he replied although he actually really liked it! "Alright," he said. "Let's get started!"
Numbuh 3 stood on her chair and shouted, "Lemonade, 50 cents!"
A/N: Woo, chapter 3's done! Review and so-forth, etc. Wow, I didn't know SO many people didn't like 1 and 5 together. O.0 Such angry people! But yea, I figured that I can't really do any 1/5 or 2/5 pairings in this ficcy... because it's to focused on ¾ and their misson to make money, and I think adding a 1/5 or 2/5 pairing will take it off topic, so sorry. Next up Chapter 4!
