Sunday, the day after George's little accident, Kuki wanted to go to the park for George to see the world. Besides, his first ice-cream would be fun. Hoagie was even nice enough to build George his very own stroller. So onward they went, entering the park. Nigel was pushing George and Kuki was walking besides him, with the rest of the team following behind them. Wally seemed to be alright with the project after yesterdays little accident and seemed to be willing to help if needed.
"Nice day for September.." Hoagie observed. Abby nodded. Wally shrugged.
"I dunno. Last night it rained so now it smells funky." He said. Hoagie raised his eyebrow.
"It didn't rain last night." He said.
"Yes it did! I heard it!" Wally countered. Hoagie shook his head.
"No.. No it didn't."
"YES. IT DID!" The Australian said, trying not to make a scene. They had stopped by the ice-cream stand. Abby shook her head.
"Jus' forget it, guys. What kinda ice-cream do ya want?" She asked. Kuki jumped up and down at the sight of the swings, see-saws and slides.
"C'mon Numbuh 1! Let's give George a push on the swing!" She said, tugging on his sleeve. Nigel agreed, but secretly wished they were on a mission. Nigel picked George up from his stroller and followed Kuki over towards the swings. Kuki took a seat on the swing and took George from Nigel.
"Yay! I'm really happy we're here!" She said, smiling brightly. Nigel scratched the back of his head, feeling almost guilty for wishing for a mission. But he smiled.
"Yeah, me too." He said, then pushed her on the swing. Meanwhile, Wally watched them, while licking his chocolate ice-cream. Hoagie glanced to him.
"You okay with this?" He asked. Wally shrugged. Abby had taken a seat on a swing herself, with her strawberry ice-cream. Kuki squealed as she jumped off the swing, landing perfectly on the ground.
"Yay!! That was so fun! Did you have fun, George!?" She asked. Nigel smiled at Kuki as she ran over to the slide.
"Nigel?" A familiar voice echoed in his mind. At first, he wasn't sure who was talking to him so he didn't answer.
"Nigie?!" It said again. His stomach froze. Turning around, he saw none other then Lizzie, his girlfriend.
"Lizzie!!" He said, nervously. "What are you doing here!?"
"Well, I came for some ice-cream! But it's even better that you're here!" She said, grinning widely and grabbing his arm.
"Numbuh 1!! George wants to go down the slide! Oh hi Lizzie!" Kuki said, coming up to him and Lizzie. Lizzie looked curious.
"Who's George?" She asked. Nigel struggled out of his girlfriend's grip.
"Uh.. we should be going, right!? Lots of stuff to do.." He said. But that didn't stop Kuki.
"George is our son!" Kuki said. But she leaned over and whispered, "But he had an accident yesterday!"
"Your son? But.." Lizzie looked confused, then grabbing Nigel's hand. "What is she talking about, Nigie?"
"Uh..er.. He's not really our son.. he's just.. er.. a project..for Science." He said. Kuki blinked.
"No.. George isn't just a project.. He's our son! For a month!" She said happily. Lizzie looked upset.
"Nigie! How come you never told me!?" She asked. Nigel sighed.
"I've been busy with school! C'mon Lizzie.. It's just a project.." He said. Lizzie bit her lower lip. She was worried he might get feelings for Kuki. And scared he might spend more time with Numbuh 3 then her.
"Okay.." She said. Nigel smiled gratefully. Kuki grinned.
"Yay!! C'mon Numbuh 1! George wants to go down the slid with you!" She said, handing him the egg. Nigel grinned with a nod.
"Okay." He said and followed Kuki over to the slide.
"See ya later Lizzie." Nigel gave a small wave to her. Lizzie waved back even though he couldn't see her. Nigel slid down the slid with George, meeting Kuki at the bottom.
"See!? Wasn't it fun George?" She asked, lifting the egg up into the air as if it were an actually child. Nigel smiled faintly. Hoagie took a seat in the swing next to Abby. They were both finished with their ice-cream. Wally was laying on a bench, taking a nap from what it looked like. Lizzie had disappeared. And the 2 parents seemed to be having fun. Nigel forgot they hadn't even gotten their own ice-cream yet.
"Hey Numbuh 3, what kind of ice-cream do you want?" He asked. Kuki thought for a moment.
"Vanilla Chocolate!" She said. "Me and George can just share." Nigel nodded.
"Alright. Don't wander off.." He said, and walked up to the ice-cream stand. He asked for the vanilla chocolate twist and just a plain vanilla for himself. As he waited for the ice-cream, Nigel glanced over to Kuki. She was swinging next to Hoagie and Abby. A small fondly smile reached his lips. But his thoughts were interrupted by the ice-cream. He payed the man then called out to Numbuh 3.
"Come get your ice-cream!" He said. Kuki jumped off of the swing with George and ran over towards Nigel. She took the ice-cream and then gave him a hug. Nigel blushed gently, then took a seat by the napping Wally on the bench. Kuki had taken a seat on the end of the slide with George to eat their ice-cream. To Nigel's surprise, Wally wasn't sleeping.
"How's the project?" He asked quietly. Nigel raised his eyebrow.
"Uh.. fine." He said, eating some of his ice-cream. Wally nodded. Somehow, Numbuh 1 could feel Wally's pain about Numbuh 3. He frowned gently. Now he couldn't wait for the month to be over. So then everything would go back to normal. There would be no more fights over the egg and no more trips to the park.. And no more weird feelings.
