Chapter 4: No Customers, Lazy Lemons
"Lemonade... 50 cents," Numbuh 3 sighed.
It had been an hour since they first sat down behind their hand-made stand. With the sun directly above them and little breeze in the air things weren't looking to good.
"Ugh, this is so boring," murmured Numbuh 4. "Ey, what do yah think you're doing?" he shouted spotting Numbuh 3 pouring herself a cup of the cold juice.
"What else would I be doing, I'm thirsty and it's so hot!"
"Numbuh 3 that is for the people... if any of them come."
Kuki frowned at him. Numbuh 4 sighed, "Alright but just that one cup!"
Numbuh 3 smiled gleefully and sipped the lemonade. "Mmm, it's so good... ahh, but I'm still so hot!" she said wiping her forehead.
"Hmph, if yah so hot then take your shirt off," said Numbuh 4 as he pulled off his orange hoodie which Numbuh 3 flustered at because it seemed like slow-motion and because he did it without a care.
Kuki shook off the thought and stared off into the distance until she felt Wally lift up her shirt.
"Numbuh 4!" she yelled and smacked his hand away. "What are you doing?"
He had only pulled her shirt up above her navel which Kuki was relieved about.
"What? I was just tryin' tah help."
"Numbuh 4, I'm a girl!"
"Oh yeah..."
Numbuh 3 gasped and let her hand make contact with Numbuh 4's cheek.
"YeeeOW! Alright sheesh, my dumb mistake!" said Wally rubbing his redden cheek.
There was a long pause then Numbuh 3 started to giggle.
"Actually that did feel good."
Numbuh 4 lifted an eyebrow. "Huh?"
"I meant my stomach being exposed to the wind."
Numbuh 3 dipped her hand in half melted ice cubes and felt the stingy coolness of it. Her lips curled up into a playful smile as a trick crossed her mind. She clutched some of the ice in her palm and tapped Wally on the shoulder.
"Hey Numbuh 4, what's that?" she said pointing to his right.
"What?" he said looking away.
She giggled and pushed the scoop of ice cubes onto his bare stomach.
"AH, cold!" he shrieked as he fell backwards off his chair.
Numbuh 3 laughed in hysterics as she pounded on the stand. Numbuh 4 got up and grabbed some of the remaining un-melted ice.
"Two can play at this game!"
He opened the neck of her shirt and dropped the ice down.
"Ahhh!" she screamed jumping from her chair and shaking her shirt up and down until the ice fell out.
"Got'cha back!" Numbuh 4 smirked.
Kuki took out the pitcher of lemonade from the cooler and set it on the stand. She grabbed a handful of ice and threw it at Wally.
"Hey, ouch, don't do that!" he cried as some of the ice hit his head.
Numbuh 3 laughed and held up a fist in victory. Numbuh 4 looked over at the neighbor's water hose with a sly smile. Numbuh 3 unaware that he left was still busy gathering more ice. She turned around and saw no Numbuh 4.
"Hey, where did'ja go?" she frowned.
"Hey Numbuh 3, the water war is on!" he turned up the gauge and pulled on the handle of the hose un-leasing a stream of water at Kuki.
She screamed with shock and joy at Wally's new weapon. Since ice was no match for a never ending stream of water Numbuh 3 ran for the hose on the other side of the tree-house. Numbuh 4 ceased his firing thinking that Numbuh 3 ran away with defeat.
"Hah, teach you tah mess with the best," he smiled.
"But it's not over yet Numbuh 4!"
Kuki ran around the back and came behind Wally with a surprise attack knocking him down. She quickly grabbed the hose from behind her and aimed it at Numbuh 4.
"You have no choice Numbuh 4 but to drop yer weapon and surrender," she said with a country accent.
Wally rolled to his left and jumped up firing blindly at Numbuh 3. With water squirting everywhere the ground around them softened and was turning into mud. They both ran passed each other and around and around in circles 'till the hose eventually tied them together in a knot.
"Seems we have a little problem here," stated Kuki in her country accent.
"Then how 'bout we settle this with a three step draw," said Numbuh 4 also mocking a country accent.
They both untangled each other and stood one foot away from their counter-part. They nodded and turned around so that their backs were facing together.
"1," said both as they took their first step.
"2."
"3!" shouted both as they quickly drew around and fired the water.
The water never clashed together but sort of went different directions as the two kept at it. In unison they ran toward each other until they were only a few inches apart squirting water in each others faces. Numbuh 4 crouched down and swiftly tackled Kuki into the muddy ground. Both rolled around laughing like little kids with not a care in the world.
The rolling came to a stop as both sighed with exhaustion lying on the ground. Wally's perfect moment was ruined as he realized the position he and Kuki were in. She was snuggled up beside him and had her arm hugged around the front of his stomach and her head resting onto his shoulder.
'Holy cow, this is way weird,' he thought with nervousness. 'Okay, calm down Numbuh 4, this is a bit awkward... psh, I mean really, you're laying next tah this girl, not tah mention in mud, yah both are soaking wet... awwh crud!'
The more Wally thought, the more nervous he got. He felt his face grow hotter and hotter as the thoughts ran through his mind.
"Wally," Numbuh 3 sighed.
His limit came to an end and his nose started to bleed.
"Ah, crud!" he turned away from Numbuh 3 and covered his nose.
She sat up with a frown. "What's wrong?"
"Uhh, nothing," he said slowly taking his hand away from his nose making sure the flow of blood stopped, which it did.
"Uhh, Numbuh 3 we better get back to the stand."
She nodded getting up and following him. Both sat back down in silence of the dead stand.
Numbuh 4 smiled slightly. "So, I guess it was a tie?"
Numbuh 3 returned the smile. "Not unless you want another go."
Wally blushed at her comment. He didn't think that his heart could take that much pressure of being so nervous twice in a row.
For another 15 minutes, still no one had come by to try their lemonade. Numbuh 3 was humming boredly to herself and Wally was nodding off.
'I guess it wouldn't hurt to take a little nap,' thought Wally as he soon drifted off to sleep.
A/N: While reading over the water fight in this chapter I understand that it kind of sounded like Pikastarrs fanfic 'Twenty-Four Hours' in chapter 5's 'food fight' Please don't give me bad comments saying that I copied that chapter... because I didn't! Hope you all enjoyed this chapter, and hooray that it's October!
