Author's Notes: Confession time! I was off Monday and could of updated but.... it was my last day of summer vacation (we were supposed to start Monday but the hurricane moved us back a day) and I felt like I wanted to sleep late and be lazy ;) So, I will be trying to do two chapters to make up for it. Updates are now going to be on weekends. Sorry, and here are the reviews!

KatChan

OMG! yay! another 1/5, which is my personal fav couple(the only couple i REALLY support in the KND)! love it so far! hope you can update soon! LIZZIE HATERS UNITE!

I'm glad you like it. It's nice to see there are a lot of 1/5 fans. I agree with you about Lizzie;)

shadow929

u live in Florida? are you ok? i was in NC and even we had to high tail it back to NJ early bcause it was all rainy. anyhoos, im glad u put some 3/4 in here please update soon.

We're fine, but my stepbrother and stepsister live in Punta Gorda. Fortunately, they're both alright. Yeah, I like 3/4 as well. I just recently saw Operation F.A.S.T.F.O.O.D. and believe me, if that doesn't prove Numbah 4 has a crush on Numbah 3, what does? (Numbah 4: "How could I let her go in there alone?!")

shadow929

Thank you!

Wow, I can't believe Lizzie would be smart enough to do all that XD But...you never know, when it comes to "Nigey".

Shades of Black Horizon

YAY! 3/4!! I'm also a fan of 3/4 couplings but like you my favorite couple will always be 1/5.

Great job on this one. Grammer was perfect and the writing style was wonderful. But man amnesia? That really sux the big one. Poor Numbuh 5!

I'm glad your house suffered no damage. I've seen pictures of the damage Charlie caused on the news and damn man... 14 billion dollers! Holy shit! 00 Anyways, untill next time!
Cheers!

Thank you, and I'm glad you like the story.

Dude, I hate to say it, but I so did see the amnesia thing coming. But I'd be kind of disappointed if it didn't happen, you know. There's plenty of fun things you can do with this scenario though...she could be tricked by the DCFDTL, take up sides with the teenagers/adults, re-learn her past at the tree house; just think of how easy it would be to sway her without her memories. She'll be easy pickings for the villians. I can't wait to see what you do!

Arrgh! You and your hints keep giving me ideas!!! Hey, seriously, thank you for your reviews! They are always though. And I'm glad you're enjoying the story.

Deadly Tears

Great story, update soon!

Glad you like it!

Author's Notes: My TV is recording again so now I'm going to catch up on the episodes I've been missing. I watched Operation: S.H.A.V.E. again today, and I was glad it was recorded. I had to rewind to hear what Numbah 4 said, I was laughing so hard when Numbah 3 screamed at him, "WE"RE HELPING THE KITTIES!!!!" Seeing Numbah 4's hair standing straight up was hilarious! :)) I also finally saw E.N.D., which was good, but the fact that their memories ARE erased was irritating. I have an idea for another story, possibly a sequel to this one, but for it to work, their memories CAN'T be erased. (I was basing the fact they're not on G.R.A.D.U.A.T.E.S., when they're told that the reason you can't be recommisioned after you quit the KND is to keep teenagers from hacking back into the computer. I figured, why would they try to hack back into the computer unless they could remember?) Now, on with the next chapter!

Thanks to everyone to who reviewed, and this chapter is dedicated to all my wonderful reviewers and especially J (silence) Quill. Thanks for your great reviews!

Losing You

Chapter 4: Tears in the Night

"You're the one who does all the spying! Remember?" Numbah 5 just stared at Numbah 4. "Ahh Crud! This is hopeless" 4 yelled, "She isn't going to remember. We've been trying for the last six hours!" Numbah 1 sighed. "Maybe 4's right, maybe it is hopeless." He thought. "Oh, I know, I know!" squealed Numbah 3,"Lets show her her room!" "Hmm, good point Numbah 3, perhaps it will trigger something." Despite his confident tone, 1 felt his heart sinking. Numbah 3 eagerly dragged a startled looking 5 down the hallway to Numbah 5's bedroom. The others followed. Numbah 5 looked around her bedroom. "Don't ring a bell, but I'll admit it looks like something I'd sleep in." The rest of the kids let out groan. It had been along day, and their exhaustion was causing them to despair. And the fact nothing they said made Numbah 5's memory come back wasn't helping

"OK team," said Numbah 1."Let's just try to get some sleep. Things will look better in the morning." Abby looked at him, one eyebrow raised. "And where do I sleep?" She asked. "You sleep here, silly!" Numbah 3 giggled. 5 was still looking at Numbah 1, who was trying not to think about the way she was staring at him. "Of course you will sleep here, Numbah 5." He said. She shrugged. "Whatever you say." The kids split up and each went to their own rooms, where they quickly fell asleep.

Except for Numbah 1. Every time he closed his eyes, he saw Numbah 5 vanishing over the cliff. Finally, after two hours of tossing and turning, he got up to get a drink of water. As 1 was passing Numbah 5's room, he heard someone let out a small scream. He froze. "That sounds almost like Abby, only she never screams..." Nigel's thoughts were interrupted by what sounded like a mix between another scream and a sob.

Before Numbah 1 realized it, he had flung open the door and rushed to her bedside. Numbah 5 seemed to be in the midst of a terrible nightmare, tossing about and sobbing loudly. Numbah 1 couldn't remember when he had ever seen her cry. He gently shook her. "Numbah 5?" He called softly. Her eyes flew open. She immediately buried her face in Numbah 1's chest. "Numbah 5, stop that! What is wrong with you?!" 1 demanded, trying to push her away. She looked up at him with tears in her eyes.

"I was falling, and falling, and nothing was stoppin' me and then something hit me...." Her voice trailed off into tears. 1 felt himself blush as he realized she was sobbing against him. "I-It's OK Numbah 5, it was just a nightmare. Your memory must be coming back in your subconscious." Nigel said. He winced as 5 looked up at him with tear-filled eyes. "But what if I dream about it again?! I don't exactly enjoy falling, falling, fallin..." "Alright, alright!" Said Numbah 1, cutting her off. "Just try to get SOME sleep before morning." He tried to disentangle her, but 5 clung to him.

"Just stay here and make 'em go away!" She begged Numbah 1. He gapped at her. "Are you kidding?!" He spoke as loud as he dared. Glancing down, 1 realized, to his dismay, she had fallen asleep, her head against his chest. He stared at her helplessly. Suddenly, he smiled. Shifting cautiously, so as not to wake her up, Nigel sat on her bed, and leaned back against the headboard. As he gazed down at the girl in his arms, he felt himself finally growing sleepy. Despite all his efforts, his eyes finally slipped shut.

Three hours later Numbah 1 woke up. Realizing where he was, he looked down at Numbah 5. She was still asleep, her head and now one hand, resting against his chest. He gently laid her back on the bed then slipped out of the room.

Two Days Later...

Numbah 1 was typing reports on the computer in his room. He paused, staring at the screen. They had tried everything. Numbah 3 dragged Numbah 5 with her everywhere, showing her the tree house. Numbah 4 had described all the villains they had ever fought. Numbah 2 had told her about the weapons she had always used. But no matter what they did, 5 showed no signs of remembering anything.

Numbah 1 sighed, turning away from the computer. He simply couldn't take it anymore. He felt as if he was watching her slip further and further away from them. "As long as her memory's gone, there's no way I can ask why she said those words." 1 thought. The words he would never forget...Sorry girl, but I love 'em!...had she meant it? He rubbed his eyes. It had been another long day, and for once Nigel was more than willing to sleep. He frowned as someone knocked. Numbah 1 opened the door.

"What's wron..." someone ramming straight into his chest, cutting him off. He stumbled back several feet. 1 stared at the force that had hit him. "Numbah 5?!" She was crying, harder than she had been two nights ago. It looked like she was on the verge of hysterics. "Numbah 5, what is wrong with you? Its the middle of the night and besides..." Numbah 1 didn't finish that sentence, but he was thinking, "This is a very awkward position. She had her arms wrapped around him. What had driven him back was the weight of her entire body suddenly against him.

"Just make 'em go away." She whispered. Numbah 1 frowned in his confusion. Suddenly, he understood. "You're having bad dreams again, aren't you Abby." He looked down at her helplessly. She raised her beautiful orange eyes to meet his. (A/N All credit for those eyes goes to bizarro) "Here." Nigel picked her up and placed her on his bed. She grabbed his arm as he started to move away.

"Where are you going? It's only when you're here the dreams go away." 1 froze, startled by what she had said. And trying not to think how much he wanted to obey those words. How much he wanted to hold her and comfort her. 5, who was still holding onto his arm, began to tug on him. "Please, "she begged, "I just want you near me." Nigel could feel his face turning red. He opened his mouth to protest, and then he saw she was about to cry again. "Oh fine, if you only stop crying..." The moment he laid down, she put her head on his chest. As Numbah 1 started at her, 5 drifted off. And though he fought it, once more 1 fell asleep with his arms around her.

The Next Morning...

"Oh, boy! Yipper's on!" shouted Numbah 2. "How do you know?! I haven't even turned on the TV yet." "Aww, everyone knows Yipper comes on at 8 a.m. It's 8:10 so it's gotta be on!" Numbah 4 rolled his eyes at his friend's logic before flipping on the giant TV. He felt his jaw drop as he stared at the image on the screen in front of him. It was Numbah 1's room, with an excellent view of 1's bed. And in bed lay Numbah 1 his arms around Numbah 5, who seemed to be talking to him. "...going back to sleep." Then she laid her head on 1's chest. He stared at her for only a moment before closing his eyes and laying his head on top of hers.

Just then, 2 and 4 heard a familiar, cheery voice call, "Hey, guys! Where are you?" To Wally's horror, Numbah 2 answered, "Here, in the TV room! You got-" Numbah 4 tackled him, cutting off the rest of 2's sentence. "What was that for?!" 2 demanded. "Are you NUTS?" demanded Numbah 4, "5's her best friend! If Numbah 3 sees this, she'll flip!" "Hello?" 3 called.

"AHH! The remote! Where is the cruddy remote!" yelled Numbah 4, searching for the small wooden square desperately. "You had it, you dropped it, where is it!" 2 cried, joining him in the search. "There it is! Under the couch!" Said 4 trying to reach the remote. "Whew, that was close." He muttered as he hit the power button. About half a second later, Numbah 3 danced in.

"Hi guys! What are you arguing about?" she asked. "Umm, well you see..." 2 started, but was instantly cut off by Numbah 4. "We're fighting over who has to get the drinks." He lied. "Sillies!" 3 giggled, "I'll get the drinks, just tell me what you want." "Uhh...Orange juice?" said Numbah. Numbah 4 rolled his eyes. "Jus' get me a Coke Numbah 3." He said, elbowing Numbah 2 to make him shut up. The moment the door closed, 2 asked 4 what they were going to do. 4 shrugged. "About the only thing we CAN do is wait till Numbah 1 wakes up and get him alone so we can ask what the heck is going on." Numbah 4 sighed. It was looking like another long day was ahead.

Authors Notes: Hey! Sorry it took so long, but one birthday party, plus more recorded KND will do that to ya. I'll try to get the next chapter up faster. (And the next chapter WILL have ¾ in it, I promise!) BTW, for those who may not know, I have a link to bizarro's website in my bio. He has one sweet web page, and I HIGHLY recommend it to any KND fan. Also, when you review, don't forget to advise me on my writing on general for new comers, and could you guys tell me if the desperate search for the remote was funny? I was trying to add some humor, but I don't know if I was actually funny or not...
