Nigel looked at the tree house. He was hovering high above it and it looked small and defenseless. He knew it would be impossible to break into the delightful mansion, but his mind had come with another idea. Numbah one took out a map and looked for the beach.

"Ok, then..." he muttered to himself, "off to the beach."

When Nigel arrived, he searched every nook and cranny for his friends, but he didn't find them. Numbah one was desperate, what could he do? He was alone in the middle of the beach, sandy, wet, and helpless. He climbed on his dinky machine and headed back to the tree house.

'If numbah T was still here...' he thought. Sigh

When he arrived at the tree house, everything was sparkling clean. All the machines were back in their place and the computer was fixed. The floor was slippery and sparkling.

"Guys, are you there? Numbah two? Numbah three? Numbah four? Numbah five? Anyone there? ... L... Lizzie?" whew 'I wonder who...'

"Delightful children from down the lane! I know you have something to do with this," Nigel said.

"Very clever Nigel," The delightful children said. "We're disappointed you took so long to figure it out."

"What do you have in mind? Why did you do this?" Numbah one asked. He had so many questions ad he wanted so many answers.

"Oh, how careless we are, where are our manners? Here Nigel, here's the code modul," they said handing the code modul to him. Nigel received it doubtfully.

"What are you planning?" he asked.

"Well, as a matter of fact we need something Nigel," The Delightful Children said sadly.

"We need somewhere to stay. You see, Father kicked us out of he house and we need somewhere to spend the night. Would you be kind enough to take us?"

Nigel was doubtful for a moment. His face was stern and thoughtful, but then it turned into a light forced smile.

"I... guess you can stay for a day, but only for a day!" Nigel said.

"Um... thank you. We shall behave well," the children smiled sweetly. "Where are we staying?"

"I guess the girls can have numbah three's and numbah five's room. The boys can stay in numbah two's and four's room. Behave yourselves and remember I'll be watching you," Nigel said before he went to sleep.

'Ok, then, let's get to work.' The Delightful children thought.

Snappy speaks: I can't think of anything else for the moment, so I guess I'll cut it short. I can't possibly imagine how the DC can think the same thing at the same time, but that's "One of the mysteries that make life rich, and psychiatrists richer." (From "Frasier.")
