Man, I'm so sorry! It's been, like, forever since I've updated this story, but something happened to my computer, and I had to get a new one. Well, judging by the amount of reviews I got, I think this story will be a hit! 'Nuff said. So, while I'm here, I'd like to say a little something to those who risked their lives and sent a review, it really means alot to me, guys. So, here we go:
MuggleBuddy: Glad you liked it. And, I thank you for the comment on numbuh 4's character, it really meaned alot to me. (Seriously, it did.)
loopylea22: You so totally rock, lea! Thanks for reviewing. By the way, your stories are awesome!
Cyrix: Don't worry, I won't let anything bad happen to numbuh 4. At least, not too bad. But, I will send a review to your next story, which I'm sure I will like since you're a good writer as well. Thanks.
Purple Sausage Ghost: I like your name, it's perfect! And, you are right, 3-4 is cute! And, though I think you already know this, you misspelled the word 'Wait'. But, then again, I accidently misspelled 'numbuh' somewhere along the lines in my story. So, thanx for the review, it was tasty! Burp.
Well, now that that's over with, I guess you should read chapter two, huh? Well, thanks for your time. Oh, and just so's you know, this chapter will have extreme fluffiness near the end. So, if you hate fluff, don't read the end of this chapter. And, please review! I need your reviews! I live off your reviews! (Actually, I live off of Ramen Noodles and cereal, but you're reviews are just as important, so get reviewing! Thank you!)
"No! Please don't do it! No!" numbuh 4 bolted up from the bed he was on, sweating like crazy. He looked around frantically, his head was killing him. As he got up, he could feel the room begining to spin as he stumbled over to the trash can and threw up.
"Ugh." he groaned, wiping his mouth. He could hear footsteps, and within moments, his teammates showed up, weapons in hands. "Numbuh 4, what's the matter?" asked numbuh 1. He was carrying a S.P.L.A.N.K.E.R. All numbuh 4 could do was let out another groan before passing out on the floor.
"Numbuh 4!" shouted numbuh 3, rushing to his side. The others followed suit and gathered around numbuh 4. As she held him in her arms, numbuh 3 felt his forehead. "Ow!" she yelped, withdrawing her hand. His head was burning like a skillet.
"Numbuh 2, go get a gurney, and step on it! Numbuh 5, you help numbuh 3 with numbuh 4. As soon as numbuh 2 gets back, tell him to load numbuh 4 onto the S.K.O.O.L.B.U.S. I'll be right back." numbuh 1 instructed, exiting the room. The others did as they were told.
Numbuh 1 headed to his room, turning on the huge screen in there. He then contacted numbuh 362. "Numbuh 362, this is numbuh 1 of sector V, do you read me?" he asked. Numbuh 362's face appeared before him. She was obviously asleep when he had called, but this was an important matter.
"Yawn This is numbuh 362, state your business." she said, yawning and rubbing her eyes. "Listen, numbuh 362, this is urgent!" he said, raising his voice. She fully awoke at the word 'Urgent.'
"Yes, numbuh 1, what is it?" she asked, concern lacing her voice. "I need to know if the new KND hospital is ready yet. One of my team members is seriously ill, and I'm afraid to take him to an adult hospital do to the previous attacks made on other operatives." he stated calmly.
"Hold on, I'll find out." she said. The screen went black for a minute, then numbuh 362 showed up again. "It has just been confirmed that the KND hospital is indeed ready. Would you like directions?" said numbuh 362. "Yes, please." said numbuh 1, relieved. As soon as the directions were printed out, numbuh 1 joined his teammates on the S.K.O.O.L.B.U.S., and they took off to the hospital.
As soon as they arrived, they wheeled numbuh 4 in on the gurney. He looked like a mess. They were told by the staff to wait in the waiting room while the doctors took numbuh 4 to the E.R. Numbuh 3 tried to follow, but numbuh 1 and numbuh 2 held her back.
"Oh, no. What if he's really, really sick?" she sobbed, hugging numbuh 5. "Shh, it's okay, numbuh 3. Numbuh 4 can handle it, you know he can. But right now, he needs us to be strong fo' him, okay?" said numbuh 5, doing her best to comfort her friend. Numbuh 3 gave a small nod, but still cried. They waited for about ten minutes, when a doctor finally came in, carrying a clipboard.
"Well, is numbuh 4 gonna be alright?" asked numbuh 2. "Well, I'm not entirely sure. You see, we ran some tests, but they all came up negative. Though his case appears to be the flu, he's missing other symptoms. We really don't know what's causing it. We'll run some more tests later, but for now, you guys can visit him if you want." said the kid doctor.
Of course, they said yes to the doctor's offer, and followed him down a series of halls. As they walked, they could see other doctors and nurses, even other patients, and they realized it was a hospital for both KND operatives, and regular kids too.
After walking for what seemed like hours, the doctor stopped, and pointed to a small 'base' that was between two halls. There were two nurses sitting there. One was talking on the phone, while the other was typing. "They'll direct you to his room." said the doctor, walking down the hall.
"Ahem, excuse me?" asked numbuh 1, standing in front of the desk between him and the two nurses. "Can I help you?" asked the one who was typing. "Um, yes. We're looking for our friend. His name is numbuh 4." said numbuh 1. The nurse typed something into the computer. "His room number 1108. Take the hall on the left. His room is on the left, you can't miss it." said the girl.
"Thank you." said numbuh 1. They walked down the left hall. As the rooms passed, numbuh 4's came into view. Numbuh 3 ran up to the room. The door was open, and there was a sink and some cabinets against the wall to her right. On her left, laying in a bed, was numbuh 4, eyes closed.
She walked up to him as silently as she could. Everyone else followed. "Ohh, he doesn't look so good." said numbuh 3, brushing the hair from numbuh 4's face. He opened his eyes. "Numbuh...3?" he asked, squinting.
"Shh, save your energy, numbuh 4." she whispered. He closed his eyes again, but sat up quickly, remembering his dream. "Father!" he shouted. "What about Father?" asked numbuh 1, raising an eyebrow.
"Father was chasing me down a hall, and he burned me, and- say, where are we?" asked the very confused numbuh 4. "We're in the brand new Kids Next Door hospital. You had a very bad fever, numbuh 4, and our only choice was to bring you here." said their leader from the end of numbuh 4's bed. Numbuh 3 was to numbuh 4's left, while numbuhs 2 and 5 were to his right.
"The hospital, eh? I don't need no hospital, I'm just fine!" said the blonde. He stepped down from the bed, only to run up to the trash can as a new wave of nausea over came him. Numbuh 3 ran up to help him. "Numbuh 4, I really think it would be for your own good if you just stayed here until you got better." numbuh 1 said.
"But-" he protested. "No buts. Come on, team, lets go." said numbuh 1. "Hold on, can I at least have a few more minutes?" asked numbuh 3. "Oh, fine. Whatever. Just, don't be too long." And, with that being said, numbuhs 1, 2, and 5 left the room, leaving numbuh 3 and numbuh 4.
"Numbuh 4, please stay here. I know you hate doctors, but they can make you better. I don't want you to be sick." she said. She went up and pulled him into the tightest hug she had ever given him. Of course, he blushed like mad. "Num...buh...3!" he managed to get out. "Yes?" she asked, not letting him go. "I'm...gonna...throw...up!" he said. She let him go immediately.
He bent over the trash can and threw up again. He felt horrible. He then went to his bed and layed down. "I'll be here to visit you tommorrow." she said, covering him with the blankets. She then turned around and headed for the door. "Um, numbuh 3?" he said. "Yeah?" she turned around. "Um, thanks for staying with me, it really means alot." he replied. "Oh, it's okay." and, she once again hugged him. Though, this time, the hug wasn't so tight. After giving him a small kiss on the forehead, she left.
"Good night, numbuh 4!" she hollered, shutting off the lights. "Night." he muttered, falling asleep, his cheeks as red as a tomatoe.
Well, now, wasn't that cute? I thought it was. So, that's chapter two. Chapter three should be up within a matter of days. Um, that's it. Oh, and 'Operation: F.O.O.D.-F.I.T.E.' rules, you hear me? It rules! If you think so too, just say so! Well, I'm gonna go play in the mud, so, later!
