Disclaimer/A.N: KND is not mine… but has anyone seen the new episodes!?! Great stuff man! So far my favorites are Operation: HOSPITAL, FOODFITE, MACCARONI, and NUGGET! Good ¾ fluff in those eppies! Any who, onto the chapter! Sorry it's taking me so long to update. I've been swamped with school work and I've had some writer's block, but I think it's cured now. And thanks to those who reviewed. Enjoy!

Chapter 6: Delightful Lemonade!?!
Numbuh 3 slumped under a tree and hugged her knees close to her. Her head throbbed from confusion and from Numbuh 4's shouts.
'Meanie Numbuh 4… but why would he?'
A sunken feeling appeared in the middle of her chest. She had never felt like this before.
Forgetting she was mad at Numbuh 4 she got up and shivered from the rain. Thunder rumbled through the sky but the rain was clearing up. A huge lightning bolt flashed which made Kuki jump two feet in the air.
"I wish Comfort Rainbow Monkey was here," she sighed.
A few more lightning bolts came down and Numbuh 3 saw shadows paint across the trees and shrubs.
"Wha- who's there?"
Sounds of foot steps came from every direct and the sound of mocking laughs echoed through the trees.
"Ahh!"
She screamed in fright and started running blindly in one direction. The laughter and noises started ceasing and Kuki came to a halt and leaned against a tree to catch her breath. A hand reached out of nowhere and grabbed her shoulder. She gave a loud shriek and blindly swung her hand and hit the person who touched her.
"Ouch, what's wrong with you?"
She opened one eye and saw Numbuh 4 standing with a hand covering his head.
"Numbuh 4!" She smiled and embraced him in a hug, glad that she wasn't alone, but she quickly parted from him.
She frowned at him and crossed her arms and looked away with an 'hmph!'
Numbuh 4 sighed. "I know you're mad at me Numbuh 3 and I probably did deserve that slap… but'cha got tah listen to me!"
-Numbuh 4 told her the whole situation of how the Delightful Children ruined their stand and made him think that it was Kuki's fault.-
"Oh, I see now," said Numbuh 3.
Numbuh 4 nodded in agreement with an expression-less face.
They sat in silence for awhile then Numbuh 3 sat up and smiled. She walked over to Wally and embraced him.
"I forgive you," she said.
"Eh?" Numbuh 4 flushed.
She parted from the hug but kept her hands on his shoulders.
"You have such a guilty look on your face Numbuh 4, you didn't know that it was the Delightfuls who caused this and I know that you never really meant to hurt me."
Numbuh 4 looked down at his feet then looked back up at the smiling girl with a smirk.
"Thanks."
Numbuh 3 got up and stretched. The rain simmered down to a sprinkle and the woods brightened up.
"What do you say we get back to the stand? We still have some money left over for lemons."
"Alright," agreed Numbuh 4.
They began making their way out of the woods and finally came to a clearing where a blue and orange house stood a few feet away. They both gawked at it.
"This house is ji-mungous!" Numbuh 3 said almost in a yell.
Numbuh 4 wrapped his hands over her mouth.
"Shh, this is the Delightful's place!"
They both ducked down as a guard came their way. He looked around then continued about his job. They popped back up like rabbit's and watched the guard walk away.
Numbuh 4 paused as he heard some shouting around the front of the mansion. He grabbed Numbuh 3's hand and they both ran toward the wall of the house. They peaked around the corner and gasped when they saw a crowd of kids with glowing blue eyes facing toward the doors of the mansion. Numbuh 3 and 4 saw the Delightful Children approach a podium with a microphone connected and they spoke into it in.
"Good evening and thank you for purchasing some of our Delightful Lemonade."
"Why those little…" Numbuh 4 sneered with clenched fists.
"And now that our yummy lemonade has been properly consumed by you, valued customers, go and attack the remains of the KND tree house, make them suffer!"
The hypnotized crowd turned in unison and marched off to the tree-house.
"With all the money we've made we can finally buy that giant robot!" They shrieked with joy and gave an evil laugh and walked back into the mansion.
"Hey," Numbuh 3 said. "Their selling lemonade too, copy cats!"
Numbuh 4 flipped open his communicator and contacted the tree house.
"Numbuh 1, we're in trouble!"
A/N: I had two ways of how I could end this chapter and leave you all hangin' off a cliffy (giggles to self) but I chose this one because I figured I could add the other to the next one. Review, etc. And I'll be back with Chapter 7! Hope you liked!
