A/N: I'm sorry I didn't update for a while. I had a lot of things to do, like studying for math:( Anyway, now I have some time to do other things than only doing things for school, so here's the 9th chapter! Please tell what you think of it in your review!


9.Lost fear and lost tears

"I'm sorry, I didn't hear you. Can you ask me that question again?"

"You heard me very well, Numbuh 1. I asked you if you love Lizzie or not."

"I, erm… Well, I, I erm…" Numbuh 1 didn't know what to say.

"Please answer me, Numbuh 1. I know it's hard for you to tell me, but please tell me. And if you tell me, then please tell the truth."

Numbuh 1 looked at her but he didn't reply. "I… I just don't know what to say, Numbuh 5."

"But you have to. I want to know or you like Lizzie or not."

"W-why do you want to know that?"

"You know why I want to know that. Now tell me."

"But… but I don't know if I love Lizzie or not. I… I like you both, and…"

"Do you LIKE me or do you LOVE me?" Numbuh 5 asked.

"Well, I, erm…"

"Don't you even know that?"

"Hey, hang on, listen to me, Numbuh 5. I'm confused, okay? I have lied in coma for 2 days. You understand I can't react so fast like former, don't you?"

"O, come on, Numbuh 1! That's just an excuse so you don't have to answer my question! But I want to have a answer."

"Numbuh 5…"

"Right now."

Numbuh 1 sighed. "I think… I still love her, Numbuh 5."

"What?"

"Yeah, I know she sometimes yells at me…"

"'Sometimes'? I think a better word is 'often'."

"… and that she OFTEN commands me…"

"Yeah, you got that right."

"Just let me finish, okay! I know you don't like her, Numbuh 5, and neither do the others. But I DO. I know it sounds crazy, but I really think I still love her. Okay?"

"No, not okay. I thought you loved ME, Numbuh 1, not her."

"Numbuh 5…"

"I thought you didn't like her anymore…"

"Numbuh 5…"

"Okay, I'll be honest: I thought you broke up with her, but now you suddenly love her again." "Numbuh 5?"

"WHAT, Numbuh 1?"

"I… I'm sorry but… This is not my fault. This is my lot. It's my destiny. I can't do anything ab…"

"Yeah, right, your destiny. Come on, Numbuh 1. You know you're lying to me. Just to reassure me. But that's not enough." She looked Numbuh 1 in his eyes. "You have to be really honest now, Numbuh 1. Do you love me or not?"

Numbuh 1 looked at his blanket and didn't reply.

"Answer me!"

He looked at her again. "Do you want me to be honest?"

"Yes. I do."

"Okay. Then the only thing I have to say to that question is: no."

Numbuh 3 crawled over to Supergiant Superfluffy Rainbowmonkey. She was still crying, just like the bunch of people was still destroying the Rainbowmonkeys. "Supergiant Superfluffy Rainbowmonkey… help me, please…" she said. Her voice sounded weakly. That was obvious. The ghost had almost taken all of her fear. And he knew a way to make her losing her last fear and giving it to him…

"No, Kuki. I'm not going to help you."

"What do you say? Please, Supergiant Superfluffy Rainbowmonkey. I… I can't take this any longer. They are destroying the thing that I love the most. Soon you'll be they only one left. So you have to help me. I can't do this on my own. I can't do anything on my own. So… please…" Numbuh 3 looked at him with tears in her eyes.

He just stared at her but didn't say anything.

"Please say something to me! Supergiant Superfluffy Rainbowmonkey, please answer me! What's the matter with you? Remember: you have to believe in the Rainbowmonkey spirit! You have to believe in the other Rainbowmonkeys! You have to believe in yourself!"

Suddenly Supergiant Superfluffy Rainbowmonkey started laughing like a freak. "You foolish girl!" he said.

"Wh-whah… What… What's happening?" Numbuh 3 sounded panicked.

"You think that I'm the only living Rainbowmonkey, that I can talk, and that I have premonitions and other gifts, but the truth is very different." Supergiant Superfluffy Rainbowmonkey's voice sounded really low. His voice almost sounded scarily.

"B-but… Supergiant Superfluffy Rainbowmonkey, what are you doing?"

"What I'm doing? I'm taking your greatest fear, Numbuh 3. Look behind you!"

Numbuh 3 did as he said and she immediately gasped.

The bunch of angry people had finished destroying all of the Rainbowmonkeys. Now they were slowly walking over to Numbuh 3. They were all looking at her. She could see the anger in their eyes.

"W-why are they so angry with me?"

"Because you tried to stop them, Numbuh 3. You're the only one left who loves Rainbowmonkeys. That's why they want to destroy you too."

"No…" Numbuh 3 weakly said.

Suddenly a lot of people showed her the remainder of a few almost destroyed Rainbowmonkeys.

"No! No, no!" This was too much. She had to get out of here. Now. But she couldn't. She was frozen. That was the moment she gave her last fear to the ghost. She couldn't take this anymore. She collapsed, looking at the ground and crying softly. All of her fear was gone.

Suddenly the ghost was too. A freaky laugh left his mouth before he disappeared, along with the bunch of people, who had never exited.

They left Numbuh 3 alone, who was still crying and hugging her legs.

The ghost got one of them, still four to go…

Numbuh 5 stared at him for a moment. It looked like she was frozen. Like she was asleep and awake at the same time.

Suddenly she shook her head and remembered the last word he said to her. 'No… No… No…' It repeated itself in her head. And then she remembered the question, which to the answer was given.

Suddenly she gave him a crushing look. "You bastard," she whispered.

She immediately got of the chair, which was standing next to the bed and walked over to the door.

"Numbuh 5, wait!" Numbuh 1 yelled.

But Numbuh 5 didn't even look at him and left the room. She slammed with the door.

Numbuh 1 slapped his forehead. 'Great,' he thought. 'Now look what I've done.'

Suddenly his parents entered the room.

"Nigel? Is everything okay?" Numbuh 1's mother asked. "We saw your girlfriend running out of your room. We thought we heard her sobbing."

Numbuh 1 quietly gasped and he quickly replied: "Yes. Yes, everything's okay. I think you made a mistake. Numb-- Abigail is happier than ever, now that I'm awake again."

Apparently his parents believed him, because they both nodded and hugged they're son again.

Numbuh 1 felt them smiling. He tried to smile too, but fore some weird reason he couldn't. He just couldn't smile, because of what happened 1 minute ago…
