"Hey, Wally! What are you doing?" asked Kuki. Wally looked back to see her, he froze, like he did whenever Kuki was in the room. "Uh, um, I, uh..." he couldn't speak, or at least it wasn't coming out the way he wanted. He was in the treehouse with the rest of the group, and Wally had wandered off, bored by what Numba 1 was saying. Kuki had apparently followed him, and they were both in Numba 4's room now. He couldn't talk to her, so he just stood there, trying his best to talk to her, but with nothing coming out. Kuki looked confused when he didn't answer,"Uh, Numba 4? Is everything okay?" she asked. Numba 4 just nodded, and then stopped. "Um, okay then, I'll just go." she said, leaving Numba 4's room. Wally let out a gasp, then started to breathe again. "Why am I always nervous around her? It's shouldn't be this hard to just ask her a simple question, right?" he thought. Meanwhile, Numba 3 returned to the meeting with Numba's 1, 2, and 5. She sat down, still anxious about the chat room that Numba 2 had told her about. "I wonder who'll be on there. I hope someone will actually talk to me, I'd really like to meet up with someone, because I haven't been asked to the dance yet." she thought as Numba 1 went on. Numba 5 looked over at Numba 3, who was in deep thought, and then whispered to Numba 2,"Look at Kuki, she's thinking really hard about the whole thing, this is gonna suprise her more than Numba 4, don't you think?" Numba 2 nodded once she finished. Numba 1 started getting the feeling he was being ignored, which he was, and stopped the speech right there,"You guys aren't even listeneing, are you?" he asked. Numba 2 looked up and Numba 5 looked up, but they didn't say anything. "Hey, where's Numba 4?" he asked, At this Kuki answered,"Oh, he went up to his room, he was bored." Numba 1 just said,"Fine, I'm bored, too. I don't know why we even do these long speeches anyway." Everyone started to get up as Numba 4 came into the room. "Oh, the meeting's over? Good, I was really bored until I left." he said without thought. Numba 1 just glared at him, and then headed for another room. Numba 5 came up to him, "Why don't we get you on the computer to see that sight, huh?" she said, and Wally's face lit up, he's been waiting to do this.
Numba 5 went with Numba 4 to the elevator, and they both went over to a place called, 'Digi-Cafe' and set themselves down at two compters. Numba 4 looked at the computer screen, and then at the keyboard, he had been practicing his spelling, so he could spell pretty well now, but he still hadn'tbeen onlinebefore. Numba 5 got on to a site and told Numba 4 to do the same, with no problems at all, he got there. "Now, just make up a screen name." said Numba 5. Wally looked back at her, "Like what?" he asked. Number 5 pointed to her screen name on the monitor, "See, that's my screen name 'coolkid05'." Wally looked back down at the keyboard, then back at the computer screen, "So, can I just put in something I want, and then press 'Enter'?" he asked, Numba 5 replied, "That depends, because you can't use your real name, but you probably should use somethingrelated to youlike that. Heh, you could put shortguy as your name." she laughed as she said this. Numba 4 glared at her. "Fine, I'll put in 'badboy04'." he said as he typed it in. Numba 5 looked over at his screen, "That's good enough, I guess. Hey, look for my name on the list when you're finished, okay?" asked Abby. Number 4 pressed 'Enter' and saw a list of names under LOGGED IN. He clicked on 'coolkid93' and another screen came up. "Okay, now wait, I'll type something to you." said Abby, Numba 4 looked at his computer screen, and all of a sudden, "Hey, what's up?" appeared on the screen. "So, that's what you do? You just write stuff and press 'Enter'? Wow, that's seems easy enough." said Wally. Abby interruppted him right as he was about to type. "Ah, Number 4, you can't write just anything, you can't write your real name, where you live, or anyone's else's names either. You have to just talk, and in this case, you have to talk about the dance,or what you plan to do there, if you're going with someone. Stuff like that." Abby looked at the main screen, she noticed 'badboy04', 'pilotguy02man', and a new name, 'cutiepie03'. She clicked the second name, and came up to a screen with Numba 2.
coolkid05: Hey is cutiepie03 really numba 3?
pilotguy02man: yeah. I couldn't change her mind.
coolkid05: that's okay. I got numba 4 on the site. he's 'badboy04.
pilotguy02man: obviously.
coolkid05: well tell kuki that her 'date' is on as that name.
pilotguy02man: alright. hold on.
pilotguy02man logged out
"Kuki?" asked Numba 2. Kuki looked voer at Number 2, "What? Is the guy ready yet?" Numba 2 just nodded, then said,"His name's 'badboy04'." Numba 3's eyes lit up, she was so excited. She clicked on the name and started typing.
Wally's Screen-
cutiepie03: hi.
Wally didn't understand what was going on, so he asked Numba 5. Numba 5 told him that was the person from the dance list that was assigned to talk to him. He nodded, then started typing.
Wally's Screen-
cutiepie03: hi.
cutiepie03: hello?

cutiepie03: oh hi! I was wondering if you were planning on going to the dance.

cutiepie03: cool. I haven't found anyone to go with me yet.
badboy04: really? that's too bad.
cutiepie03: well I came on here to find a date. I think.
badboy04: really? wow, you must be desperate.
cutiepie03: well I guess. I just really wanna go to the dance. and I can't show up alone.
badboy04: well i keep trying to ask this girl to the dance but I can never talk to her.
cutiepie03: really? that's too bad, I'm sorry.
badboy04: its okay. I wanted to see if this site would help. I guess I can just find a new date to the dance though.
cutiepie03: if you need a date, I am right here you know.

cutiepie03: well, I can always be a backup date for you.
badboy04: I can't do that to you. If you want to go to the dance with me then you can.

Numba 4 looked up from the screen, and at Numba 5, who had apparently been reading everything that the two were writing. Numba 5 noticed him logging off, and she logged off, too. "Ready to go back to the treehouse?" she asked. Numba 4 got up,"Sure." He actually was happy for meeting someone so nice over the internet like that. He couldn't wait until tomorrow.
