Chapter Eight: "Taking Chances"

I walked in the hallway…who was she talking to?

"Maybe, tonight we could talk…" Kuki said as she coughed.

When I reached her doorway I noticed that she was talking to a rainbow monkey. She had a box of tissues at hand.

I walked closer,at the point I was at her bedside she started up again, "If only numbuh—"

Gently I tapped her on her shoulder… "Numbuh three?"

"EeEeEeEeP!" Numbuh three turned around in shock.

I was confused,huh? If only numbuh what liked her? Was THAT what she was trying to say? Who? Which numbuh?

"Oh, Numbuh four. You frightened me." Numbuh three said as she put her hand to her heart.

Frightened her? Me frighten HER! Never.

"Uh…were you crying or…something?" I tried to sound like I didn't notice anything, but it was kinda hard.

She wiped her face, "No…no way…"

I sat on her bed, "Really?Numbuh three we're friends we can talk…"

Kuki sat up straight, "Yeah, I know…but seriously there's nothing wrong." She smiled.

I didn't buy it, I HEARD her crying. She doesn't just cry…AND talk about somebody, and say 'oh nothing's wrong'.

"Okay whatever…"

She stared at my side…there lay the rainbow monkey(was that in a dream?…nah!)

"Can you pass my rainbow monkey,please?"She reached over and tried to grab it.

Should I give it to her or just play with her?

I should just—WAIT! I hafta finish up my plans,otherwise someone can just grab them and read It.( Oh well it wasn't good anyways)

After awhile I decided to…play with her.

I held it up high, "Try to grab it…!"

She laughed and giggled, as she dove into the air, trying to grab the stuffed animal.

"Numbuh four quit playing around…PLEASE." Kuki put her hand out.

"I'm waiting…"

My laughter died down, "Yeah, here ya go."

Numbuh three smiled, "Thanks…"

Silence--

"Come with me,Wally."kuki grabbed my hand and started tugging.

I was curious, what was she wanting to show me?

"I…uh…" I stared at her, but couldn't finish.

"Come on." She pulled me up and ran towards the door.

"Uh, where are we going…?" I tried to tug away from her grip.

Numbuh three smiled, cheerfully, "You'll see!"

We walked down the halls, until we reached a big brown door:

"Hamster Room: Major Voltage"

"Why did we come here?" I looked up at her with curiosity.

She opened the door…

In the room, the hamsters were running faster than ever before (but that wasn't the main focus) The main focus was right in front of me.

"Is it—?"I pointed at it as Kuki looked at me.

"Shhh…it's nursing…" Numbuh three pulled the hamster closer.

"Nursing?" I said quietly, afraid to wake up the hamster babies.

"Well, yea. She had them a few days ago. She's just taking care of them..."

I nodded as she pulled a hamster baby away from its mother and handed it to me.

I stared at her with my...wait let me just pop these in...big eyes.

"Go ahead and hold it...it won't bite, silly." Numbuh three giggled as she pushed it closer to me.

Smiling, I took it from her hands, and softly brushed the hamster's fur. Even though there wasn't much fur. In a way it kinda looked like a bald eagle...without the beak...and wings...and, well you know what I mean.

I looked over at Numbuh three and tried to start a conversation. "Baby looks just like it's mother...don't ya think?"

Kuki looked down at the baby's mother along with the baby hamsters.

"She's sad."

Wow. She ignored me. That's great, she LOVES that hamster more than me.

"What do you mean she's sad?" How can she tell? Does she have special hamster mind reading power?

"Well...let's just say the dad was mean to her...even though he seemed kind and sensitive, he was a jerk..." Kuki stopped and grabbed the hamster baby I was petting.

Guess its nap time?

Numbuh three placed the baby near its mother. "Wally?"

I tried to reply, but she kept going.

"Do you think people can be forgiven for what they do? Or how they act? Or what they've been said to have done?" She paused. Waiting for an answer.

I drooped my eyebrows, and had a confused look on my face. I had to give her advice? I can't even give myself advice, let alone her!

"I guess so...but if they...or he...or she keeps doing wrong to you, just ignore 'em."

Wow. Great advice! I should run an advice service. GO ME! GO NUMBUH FOUR! SHAKE THAT THING!...uh...no clue where that came from.

Kuki smiled. "The reason I asked was mainly because...well, it might sound stupid, but...I asked because-"

"Because you think that the hamster mother should forgive the dad..." I said, not knowing what came out of my mouth.

Her mouth dropped, "Well, no. I was asking because-". Her voice was cut off when Numbuh five walked into the room.

"Numbuh four I was looking for you everywhere!" Numbuh five said with an exhauasted tone.

I stared at Numbuh five.

"Do you think we can finish what we were talking about earlier today?" Abby said as she stood in the doorway with her hands on her hips.

Before I could stand up and go with Numbuh five I asked Numbuh three, "What were you saying?"

Numbuh three shook her head, "Never mind."

I grinned. "Well, I'll talk to you later I guess." And made my way out the door. Leaving Numbuh three and the hamster babies alone in the room.
