CHAPTER 5

Last time, Numbah Five and Numbah Three were being chased by a vicious monster. They had to run through a patch of thorns to escape the growls and footsteps. Numbah Three was badly hurt from the thorns, so Numbah Five set her behind the bushes to be safe. Then she was going to distract the animal that has been following them all this time. The monster was ready to reveal itself to the girls. They were ready as well. The animal stepped out of the bushes to reveal... a wolf. An extra large, vicious looking wolf. Numbah Five knew that there was something awfully strange about this wolf. About the way it looked. It looked very familiar. But Numbah Five changed the subject and thought about running. She turned and ran as fast as she could possibly go. The wolf charged after the black girl, showing her his teeth. It was foaming with anger.

Numbah Five rushed through trees and jumped over logs until her legs couldn't keep up. The wolf slowed down and howled. Numbah Five though he was retreating, but she was wrong again. After he finished howling, more footsteps came through the trees in front of Numbah Five. Something roared out of the trees. It sounded like a leopard's roar. The roar came closer. The animal that owned the roar jumped out of the trees and joined the wolf into chasing it's prey. It was a cougar. Now that cougar looked odd as well. Numbah Five ran the other direction to escape, but the two predators charged after her with maximum speed. The wolf might not have been fast, but the cougar was ten times faster. He was inches away from Numbah Five! Numbah Five was about to turn away from a hitting rock, but something went worse. She accidentally tripped over a log and fell to the ground! The cougar jumped in the air ready to attack it's prey from below.

"No..."

"Well, at least the gun that could spray jalapenio sauce is working right. But I guess that the T.H.U.M.P.E.R. works all-right." Numbah Two said to Numbah One and Numbah Four.

Even though the weapons seemed pretty powerful to the boys, they were focusing on the girls instead. Hoping that they were okay.

"You guys okay?" Numbah Two asked curiously.

"We're fine Numbah Two. But I wonder, what do you think the Delightful Children could have done to Numbah Five and Numbah Three?" Numbah One replied.

"We don't know. All I know is that we've gotta find Numbah Three!" Numbah Four said.

"Sound like someone's gotta crush on Numbah Three, huh Numbah One?" Numbah Two exclaimed.

"I do not! I just... uh... well I just.....uh... uh...."

"You don't have to hide it Numbah Four. We know that you love her. We can see it." Numbah One told him.

"....... Okay I admit it! I do love Numbah Three. She was a very special friend to me. Yes she loves a bunch of these krudy Rainbow Monkeys, but that doesn't stop me from loving her."

"If she was here, she would cry right now. She loves you also Numbah Four. There's no denying it." Numbah Two told the blonde boy.

"I... I never knew."
"Well now you do." Numbah One also spoke.

Numbah Four was quite astonished. For many times he tried to confess to Numbah Three, he never got to! He didn't want to reveal it to his friends, but they already knew. Numbah Four was pretty happy to know that the girl she loved loved him back.

"This might be the perfect time for me to reveal my true feelings to her," Numbah Four thought.

"I bet you can't wait to save her and reveal your feelings to her." Numbah One said.

"No way! Let's go save Numbah Three!"
"And Numbah Five!"
"Sounds like you like Numbah Five, huh Numbah One?"
"The same way you feel with Numbah Three."
"The way I feel with Numbah Three.... but that means..."
"That's right Numbah Four."
"But what about Lizzie?"
"Things weren't working out right lately."
"Oh..."
"Well what are we waiting for? Let's go save the girls!" yelled Numbah Two.

While they were on the flying machine, Numbah One and Numbah Four were getting well prepared to save the girls. And to reveal their feelings. If... they could find them.
