CHAPTER 2
A Princess, Engagement, And Fainting
"Don't be so down," said Mrs. Sanban. "There is one thing I haven't told you yet."
"What?" asked Numbuh 3.
"You happen to be engaged to the prince of Japan," said Mrs. Sanban.
"I'm getting married?" asked Numbuh 3. Mrs. Sanban nodded her head. "Who is the prince of Japan?" asked Kuki.
"We don't know," said Mrs. Sanban. "All we know is that the Japanese Inspectors are coming, and that if you aren't married in time, we will have to give up our name as the rulers of Japan. A regular Japanese girl can marry whenever she wants to, but you have to be married by the age of 10. I only said that Japanese girls normally get married around the age of 14 because that is when I was married."
"But you said that Japanese princesses have to be married by the age of 10!" said Numbuh 3.
"I know," said Mrs. Sanban. "But I wasn't a Japanese princess. I married a Japanese prince! Japanese princes have to be married by the age of 14."
"Alright, mom!" said Princess Kuki. "I'm going to my friends' house!" and then she left. She thought, "Maybe I should tell my friends! YEAH! They'll all be so jealous! Especially Wally! I want him to be the most jealous person of them all! Then, maybe if he has the same feelings as I do, he'll confess! Oh no! If he does confess, then I can tell him, but I won't get to marry him! NO!"
She arrived at the Treehouse. When she opened the door,her team was right in front of her. They looked really mad.
"NUMBUH 3!" yelled Numbuh 1. "WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN! WE JUST HAD TO GO ON A MISSION WITHOUT YOU! WE FAILED BECAUSE WE DIDN'T HAVE SOMEONE TO DISTRACT THE ENEMY!"
"Well, SORRY!" said the Japanese girl. "I gave you a warning that I was leaving, but you didn't listen! No one ever listens tothe Japanese princess!"
"WHAT!" the team said.
"That's right!" yelled Numbuh 3. "I had a talk with my mom and she told me that I was a Japanese princess! Oh, and one more thing…I'M GETTING MARRIED FOR REAL!"
"WHAT!" said Numbuhs' 1, 2, and 5. Numbuh 3 didn'tsay anything because sheclosed her eyes, and had her arms crossed. Numbuh 4's jaw fell like a brick, his eyes were wide, and he lost his voice. His dream of being married to Numbuh 3 crumbled beneath him. He fainted.
