Authors Note: Yes, I actually updated! Hope this chapter was worth the wait. It takes up four printed pages! Oh, and there is some ¾ in this chapter, as promised. Now, on with the reviews! Nako-chan
Fine I'll wait. But not patiently. These chapters are good but they're so short. That's really my only complaint and its more because I want more of what is turning out to be a really cool story.
Wow, thanks! And this chapter is pretty long.

Yep! And did you see the new Operation:H.O.S.P.I.T.I.A.L.? The proof is thick… J (silence) Quill
Yes! I loved the frantic remote search! You know when you're watching something (and usually it's not exactly younger-sibling/parent-approved) and they walk in the room; that's when you suddenly realize that the remote is halfway across the floor under a table or something. It was adorable!
I won't make any comments about your writing structure, since you asked, but your style itself has dramatically improved and I'm really glad you're taking the time to write out the details--it makes the story even better!
However, doesn't like links in the stories--I know; I tried to put some in my AUSTRALIA one and it won't work. I had to put the links in my bio. So you should go back and try to fix the link to Bizzarro's site because it won't show up. Other than that, this was a great chapter and kudos to you for seeing those episodes. I've missed both SHAVE and END, much to my dismay. That's why it's a little tricky to read all the new decommissioning fics.
Glad you liked my humor! And thanks for the warning, duely noted and fixed;) Number14Very very excellent story and i like chapter 4. and yes it was funny when #4 was trying to find the remote. anway, plez continue!

Deadly TearsI love this chapter! It was sweet with all the 1/5 fluffness and it was pretty funny when Numbuh 4 desperately tried to find the remote before Numbuh 3 entered the room!
But anyway, I hope you update really soon!
P.S: I just visited Bizarro's website yesterday while searching for KND fanarts on a search engine, and I must admit, the fanart in his webpage is really good! It's so well drawn! (Hehe!) He made everybody look so much cooler, especially Number two and Numbuh 30c.
Glad you liked it and yeah, that's why I like him!
DerangedButFun(Note: I have captured Team Rocket, Fez, and Gir, and forced them to live in my house!) HI! Jessie and James have finally stopped the motto crud and Jessie's watching Titanic while James and Fez are playing Monopoly. Meowth is IMing Catnappy again. While watching Jessie watch Titanic, I got an idea. A song chapter thingy! I have a few suggestions. For the songs, I mean.
"My Heart Will Go On" by Celine Dion
"Killing Me Softly" by Fugees
"Drowning" by Backstreet Boys
That's all for now! I have to go scold Fez for cursing James out because Fez just lost at Monopoly.
Great Idea! THANK YOU!

Losing You
Chapter 5 Friends, Advice, and Confession Time
Abby was having that same dream again. The same dream she'd had for two nights now. She was falling, falling down a cliff. She hit the water, then a rock. Then Abby felt those arms again, heard that voice. She couldn't figure out who it was, or what she was seeing. Suddenly, her eyes flew open. Instantly, it all came back to her.
"Numbah 5 remembers who that was," she muttered, "It was Numbah 1. But how did Numbah 5 remember something that happened when she was asleep." 5 froze as she realized her position. She was lying with her head on someone's chest. Now why am I still in that same dream… she looked up and gasped. Now Numbah 5 knows she's dreaming. She thought as she stared up at the face of a sleeping Numbah 1. Nice as this is, Numbah 5 thinks she wants to wake up now. She pinched herself. It hurt some, but 5 didn't wake up. She pinched the skin between her fingers. (Yes, this seriously hurts.) Numbah 5 whispered a small ouch. Unfortunately, that woke Numbah 1 up. He turned red when he saw her staring at him.
"Good morning Abby, did you have any more nightmares?" He said. "5 stared at him. "OK, you better start explaining what Numbah 5 is doing here." 1 blinked, and then suddenly, he hugged her. "Numbah 5! You're back! 1 said. Two seconds later, Numbah 5 shoved him away. "What the crap is goin' on here?!" She demanded. "Numbah 5 doesn't remember any nightmares." 1 frowned.
Your memory must still be spotty. You had amnesia from hitting your head on a rock." He stopped "Do you remember Lizzie?" He asked. 5 snorted. "'Course Numbah 5 remember your psycho girlfriend. Please tell Numbah 5 you broke up with her." "Well obviously I'm not that stupid." 1 replied. He bit his lip. This wasn't going to be easy. "What you told Lizzie…" 5 chuckled. "Numbah 5 knew she was goin to drop me anyway, so why not get a little fun out of the situation." "Oh…"said Numbah 1, trying to ignore the disappointment he felt. "Umm…what should we do now?" He asked. Abby grinned at him. "Don't know about you, but Numbah 5 is going back to sleep." 1 stared at her as she laid her head on his chest. Then, after a moment, he also fell asleep.
Two Hours LaterNumbah 1 opened his eyes and realized that Numbah 5 was gone. Sitting up, he saw her standing next to the bed. 5 grinned at him. "Numbah 5 thinks it's time for breakfast." She said. Nigel watched her walk out the door. Then, after a moment, he got up and followed her. The first thing Numbah 1 noticed when he walked into the TV room was Numbahs 2 and 4 staring at him.
"What's wrong with you two?" He asked. "Well, 2 here is going to hardware store and I thought maybe we should go with him." Numbah's 1 and 2 stared at 4. "But why woul-…" Numbah 2 started, but was immediately cut off by Numbah 4 elbowing him. "Uh, yeah, sure! You guys should go with me!" Numbah 2 exclaimed eagerly. 4 rolled his eyes and glanced at Nigel, who was staring at both of them like they were crazy. "Why on earth would I want to go to the hard..." He started to protest, and then he saw the look on their faces. Obviously, they wanted to talk, and they wanted to do it someplace where the girls couldn't hear. "Oh, all right. I'll go." 1 grumbled. Numbah 4 jumped up immediately.
When they had walked a short ways from the tree house, Numbah 1 stopped. "All right, what is this about? I know you two want to talk. There is no way on earth you ever go to the hardware store Numbah 4." Numbah 4 glared at him. "Just wait till we get there," he said. Once at the hardware store, they went to a back corner where no one else was likely to be.
"All right Numbah 1, we saw you and Numbah 5 sleeping together on the TV." Numbah 4 said. "Yeah, what's up with the security system Numbah 1?" asked Numbah 2. Numbah 1 groaned. "Perfect, I must have forgotten to disconnect the cameras from the TV again!" "Man Numbah 1," said 2, "you seriously need to learn how to wire things without the connection getting so jumpy!" "How do you…" 1 began, but was cut off by Numbah 4. "Who the heck CARES?!" He yelled, "just what does that have to do with you taking advantage of Numbah 5's memory loss?" Numbah 1 started at him.
"Taking advantage of? I didn't do anything of the sort! SHE came to ME last night. Any way, she remembered everything this morning, and it didn't seem to bother her." At least I don't think so… Nigel thought. "Yeah, and the fact you like her has NOTHING to do with it," 2 said. "The fact I WHAT?! I do not have a romantic interest of any kind with Numbah 5." Numbah 1 protested. "Admit it already! We all know you like her." 4 insisted. 1 glared at them. "You think I could possibly…" His voice trailed off as he saw they were both looking at him knowingly. Nigel sighed
"Fine, I have a, slight interest in Abby…" He suddenly turned red as he realized what he had just called her. Numbah's 2 and 4 were laughing. "Seriously though, Numbah 1," 4 said, "if you like the girl, you should tell her. If I liked a girl, I would tell her." Numbah 1 and Numbah 2 exchanged a look, and then burst out laughing. "What's so funny?" Demanded Numbah 4. 2 grinned at him. "Give it up Numbah 4, I mean, IF you liked a girl? Everybody knows you have a serious crush on Numbah 3!" "Except Numbah 3 herself" said Numbah 1 with a smile "since you haven't TOLD her yet." Numbah 4 could feel himself turning red as a memory came back to him.
One night, he had gotten up to get a coke. Since he knew the tree house pretty well, he hadn't bothered to turn the lights on. As 4 stepped into the kitchen, something suddenly hit him. "HEY! GET OFF OF ME!" The rest of the KND came running at the sound of Numbah 4's screams. Numbah 1 flipped the lights on… and everyone stared at the strange scene. Numbah 4 was being pinned to the ground by a slender, amethyst-eyed girl, who was definitely a lot weaker than he was. Numbah 4 stared at his attacker in shock, then rage.
"Numbah 3? GET OFF OF ME YOU DUMB GIRL!!!" "Numbah 3, get off of Numbah 4(that sounds wrong.;) and explain what is going on." Numbah 3 sniffled as she obeyed. "I dreamed Count Spankulot came back and was going to spank all my Rainbow Monkeys…"she burst into tears. 4 rolled his eyes. "Oh, it was only a cruddy dream! What are you so scared about?" "Because, I thought I heard him coming, and I ran, and then I tried to jump on him, he turned out to be you Numbah 4." She stared at 4 with a confused expression on her face. Numbah 1 sighed. "Numbah 3, you clearly have been sleepwalking. Numbah 4 is hardly Count Spankulot." "Bu- But I saw him! He's coming back!" Then, she did the last thing anyone expected. She whirled around to Numbah 4 and began begging him, "Please, please come with me! I don't want to be spanked!" Numbah 4 rolled his eyes. "You're not going to be spanked, so stop acting stupid." Numbah 3 began sobbing again. "I'm sorry! I'll go, I'll go! Just stop crying!" 4 shouted 3 immediately returned to her bubbly self. "OK!" She skipped off, with a grumpy Numbah 4 trailing behind. The rest of the KND gladly went back to bed.
Meanwhile, 4 was waiting for Numbah 3 to fall a sleep so he could go back to bed. Man, am I tired. He glared at the girl in the bed. He was sitting next to her. As he studied her, he couldn't help thinking she looked rather cute when she was asleep. Too bad she's so annoying when she's awake, He noted. He suddenly remembered how she had wrestled him to the ground earlier. Cripes! She can really put up a fight when she wants to. He couldn't help at that thought smiling as watched her sleep. Before he realized it, he had fallen asleep sitting by her side. Back in the present, Wally glared at his smirking friends. "That's beside the point!" He snapped. "Oh, just admit it Numbah 4," 2 said, "you like her!"
"All right, what if I do? That doesn't change the fact Numbah 1 should tell Numbah 5 the truth, especially if he going to take advantage of her." "For the last time, I didn't do anything of the sort," 1 growled, "She came to me. Look, if you don't believe me, ask her." She remembered everything this morning anyway." 4 opened his mouth to argue, but was cut off by Numbah 2. "Hey, rather than argue about it, why don't we just go back to the tree house? We can find out for sure." He said. Numbahs 1 and 4 agreed reluctantly.
Back at the Tree houseNumbah 5 was searching for her breakfast cereal, while 3 begged her to eat Rainbow Monkey Loops. "No WAY is Numbah 5 eating that stuff." 5 grumbled. Kuki blinked, then gasped and threw her arms around Numbah 5's neck, nearly knocking the other girl off her feet. "YOU REMEMBERED WHO YOU ARE!" Abby waited for her hearing to return before answering. "So, Numbah 1 was telling the truth about my amnesia." "Of course silly, you couldn't remember us! Numbah 4 told you everything we did and I even showed you your room." Numbah 5 grinned. "I would've paid money to hear Numbah 4 describe the Kids Next Door." 3 giggled.
"He did a good job!"
"How do you know?"
"I was there silly!"
"You're opinion would be biased."
"Huh?"
"You would be in favor of Numbah 4."
"But he did fine!"
"Yeah, but you have a crush on a certain blond Aussie."
Numbah 3 turned red. "Well, he still did a good job." she insisted. 5 shook her head and turned back to the cerearls. Maybe those honey loops… The Japanese girl suddenly looked confused.
"Numbah 5, why did you tell Lizzie the truth?" 5 shrugged as she grabbed a cereal box. "'Cause she was going to drop me either way, so I thought I'd have some fun." She suddenly frowned. "And what do you mean the truth." 3 smiled. "I know you like Numbah 1." Abby laughed as she poured her cereal. "What makes you think I like Numbah 1?" 3 giggled. Silly! For three reasons: You wouldn't joke about something like that, no matter what Lizzie said. You hated Lizzie before this ever happened. You went all the way to the desert to get that candy jewel for his birthday." She suddenly looked unusually serious. "Numbah 1 was worried about you when you couldn't remember." Numbah 5 choked on her cereal.
"Are sure about that?" "Yes! He was really worried," Numbah 3 insisted. 5 stopped eating. "I think I need to go get something…"She jumped out the kitchen window. Five minutes later, the boys walked in.
"Numbah 3, does Numbah 5 remember anything?" 4 demanded. 3 smiled. "Of course! She knew everything when she was eating breakfast." She started washing the dishes. "Umm, Numbah 3, where IS Numbah 5?" Numbah 1 asked, after giving 2 and 4 a 'What did I tell you?' look. "She's on level 68." Numbah 1 headed for the elevator.
Abby was sitting on a tree branch, staring off in to space. It was her favorite place to think. And right now, all she could think of was Numbah 1. Does he really like me? But he can't her mind argued, if he doesn't, she argued back, why did he call me by my real name. And why was he worried about me. And why did he try to comfort me when I had those nightmares he was talking about this morning. And while she was thinking about this morning… Why do I keep having that dream about Numbah 1 saying he loves me?
Suddenly, something grabbed her around the waist and dragged her off the branch. She quickly shoved whomever it was off. "Just what the heck do you thi…"her voice trailed off as she realized she was staring at a very pale Numbah 1. "Numbah 1, what is wrong with you?!" She demanded. "I'm sorry, he muttered, but for a moment I could see you dangling over that cliff again." 5 rolled her eyes. "And just why does that bother you?" 1 winced at her tone. "I…I guess because you matter to me." He couldn't take his eyes off the tree branch. "I, I love you Abby, and after I almost lost you from one fall, I don't want to repeat the process." 5 stared at him, then burst into to laughter. Nigel winced, then started to leave. He was startled to feel her hand grab his wrist. He was even more startled when Numbah 5 looked into straight into his eyes and whispered "I wasn't joking." It took a second for it to sink in. Then, he leaned over and pressed his lips against hers. Abby's eyes went wide, then slowly shut, as she leaned into the kiss and put her arms around 1's neck. Numbah 5 loved the feeling of his lips against hers. She could feel his arms around her waist. Numbah 1 was surprised by how soft her lips were. "I DO love you, Nigel." She said against his mouth. His only answer was to draw her closer, deepening the kiss till all sense of time and reality vanished. The only thing in existence was each other.
