Hey! Hey! This is me, Melissa, or Missa. We are finally there! Well, atleast the ninth chapter. Trust me I'm getting to the "plot". Oh, and thanks SO much for the reviews and advice. I can't believe I have fans. Lmao. Hopefully this chapter is likeable. Oh and just so you know this chapter might be really short, cuz it's only Numbuh four & Numbuh five's talk about what happened about breakfast. Hope you like it. Remember if you read, you GOTTA review…please?

Chapter Nine: "What hurts?

I trotted beside Numbuh five, with the same question raging through my head. Why did Kuki ask me that? I mean, it wasn't about the hamster dad, so who could she be talking about?

"Over here." Numbuh five motioned for me to walk closer to her. As if I was a baby, I should add…

As we passed the kitchen, the arsenal, and even the kids next door meeting room. I starting thinking. Well damn! Where does she want to talk?

Finally, we reached the bedroom hallway.

Abby stopped and stared at numbuh one and two in Numbuh one's room.

They were playing a game on the game console.

She finally shook her head form the trance and grabbed the collar of my orange hoodie. "We'll talk in my room."

I replied by nodding my head.

As we stepped into her bedroom, she looked both ways before shutting the door.

(Slam)

When the door shut, I started thinking about Numbuh three…in the power voltage room…by herself…

If only she was here.

"So what about earlier?" Numbuh five sat at the edge of her bed.

I sat on the bed along with her, and raised my eyebrows. Uh, what did we talk about earlier?

Abby stared blankly at me. "What we were talking about at breakfast…the reason I don't want to go with Hoagie? Numbuh two, 'member?"

My eyes widened. Oh! I remember now.

"Well, because you go with Nigel, right? That's the reason isn't it?"

"…that…and…" she paused and looked about her room. Then back at me.

I cut in. "He's a nice guy and he likes you! I mean, this is a guy who can buy you a chili cheese dog…or two." Okay. With a reason like that, did I POSSIBLY have the chance to win her affections?

She started nodding her head, "I know. I know. It's just…well…I want to give Nigel a chance…he seems like he's passionate, loving, brave, and…well you know."

Actually I don't know what she means but…well you know.

"Yea. I guess."

"I just want to give him a chance. I just don't want him to 'hurt' me."

Hurt you? Physically or mentally? Ouch. My head just hurt. Was that because of the big word? Wow. I impress myself.

"Hurt you?"

Numbuh five smirked. Her hands rubbing against her thighs. As if she was shy of telling me this. "I don't want him to break my heart. You know?"

I nodded my head. I felt the same…not about Nigel, but about Kuki.

It seemed like she broke MY heart in that dream I had last night. The one where she was crying and kept repeating "How could you?"

That was REALLY weird.

Numbuh five pulled herself up from the bed.

I snapped out of the trance I had fallen in.

She opened her door and smiled at me. "Thanks Walibee. It's like, you're the only guy that understands me."

As she said those words, I pulled my attention to what was out the door.

It was Numbuh two and Numbuh three. Both of them. Together. Playing a rainbow monkey game, right across the hallway.

I walked over at Numbuh five, "No problem Abby." And went across the room to Numbuh two and three.

Kuki giggled and cooed. "Thanks for playing with me, Numbuh two."

"No big deal. I happen to like this rainbow monkey racing game." He replied.

I sat down on the couch they both sat at. "Whats up guys?"

They both stared at me. Kuki smiled.

Numbuh two tugged at Numbuh three. "That reminds me, I have to tell you something."

She nodded and they both stood up and walked into Numbuh two's bedroom.

I shrugged. Whatever

Grabbing the controller, I went to high scores to see if my name and Kuki's name was still at the top. But it wasn't. It was second place.

The first place winner was the title "Hoag&Kookz".

Woah. The drama has been unleashed. Is numbuh four "going" or is he gonna take this from his friend? Or the girl he loves? Huge twists and turns in this story, NO JOKE! Hopefully you found it comforting and downright wrong. But, not in THAT way. Oh, please review. Tell me what you think and I'll see you next time at chapter 10.
