CHAPTER 2
Hard To Say
June 12, 2002 (again)
Dear Diary,
Wow. They took it hard. This is what happened:
I walked over to the Treehouse. I rang the doorbell. Mr. Uno opened the door.
"Well, hello, Wallabee," he said. "Nigel and his friends are already upstairs."
"Thanks, Mr. Uno," I said. I ran up the stairs to the Treehouse. When I opened the door, I saw Numbuh 1 watching the KND news channel, Numbuh 2 playing with a toy airplane, Numbuh 5 reading a girly magazine, and Numbuh 3 playing with a cruddy Rainbow Monkey. I hate those things! Anyway, Numbuh 5 looked up from her magazine and saw me.
"Look, everyone," she said. "Numbuh 4's back." Of course, everyone looked up from what they were doing to see me.
"Numbuh 4!" yelled Numbuh 3! "You must be done baby-sitting your brother!" Oh sweet Numbuh 3. I love you. I just don't have the courage to tell you.
"Um, guys?" I asked.
"Yeah?" they all said.
"I have good news, and bad news," I said. The expressions on their faces changed.
"Good news first!" yelled Numbuh 3. I'll do anything for you, Kuki.
"The good news is, I'm done baby-sitting my brother for the rest of the week," I said. Everyone started cheering.
" This is really hard to say, but the bad news is, I'm moving back to Australia at the end of this school-year." You should've seen their faces! Oh yeah. You can't see because you're a diary.
"WAAHHH!" bawled Numbuh 3. I hate it when she does that. She makes me feel guilty. And it hurts to see my love miserable.
"Are you kidding us?" asked Numbuh 5. "'Cause if you are, it ain't funny."
"I wish I was kidding you," I said. "But it's the truth. And there's nothin' I can do about it." That made Numbuh 3 cry even louder. I felt pain in my heart. I held my hand over that spot, and tried not to make a face.
"You can't move!" said Numbuh 2. "Who am I going to fight against to get the last cheese fry?"
"And whose hair am I going to rustle to make it look messy?" asked Numbuh 5.
"And who is going to tell me to stop working on secret KND things, and have a little bit of fun for once?" asked Numbuh 1.
"And who am I going to beat at video games?" asked Numbuh 3. "Who am I going to hurt when they destroy my toys? Who am I going to put in a suit to replace my toy? Who am I going to force to play Rainbow Monkeys with me? Everyone else in this treehouse will play with me willingly!"
"I know," I said. "But I have no choice. My parents are going to make me move no matter what. They both agreed on it. I have a feeling I won't be coming back."
"I'm gonna miss you, Numbuh 4!" bawled Numbuh 3.
"We all will," said Numbuh 5.
"I know," I said. " We might as well have fun while it lasts. Come on, Numbuh 3. As usually, I'll put up a fight because I don't play Rainbow Monkeys with you willingly."
"Yay!" she said.
For the rest of the week, I played Rainbow Monkeys with Numbuh 3, unwillingly, Let Numbuh 5 mess up my hair, fought over the last cheese fry with Numbuh 2, and nagged Numbuh 1 to stop working on KND stuff, and have some fun.
I gotta go. Mom wants me to baby-sit Joey when she said I was done for the week! Make up your mind, woman! Bye!
From,
Wallabee Beatles

(A/N: That's it for chapter 2! Sorry that I hadn't updated this lately, but I was in Cape May, New Jersey for 3 days. I just got back. Bye!)
