Chapter 2: Hide and Go Sneak

After sitting for about an hour, Numbuh 4 got tired of waiting. How long is it going to take those guys to call! He shouted in his head.

He looked at Numbuh 3 who was fidgeting with a Rainbow Monkey doll that she was playing with for about forty-five minutes. She looked up at Numbuh 4 and whined, "I'm bored Numbuh 4, can we play a game?"

"No," he replied He thought. Don't give in to her pathetic whining.

"Aw, come on Numbuh 4 please" she whined more

"Nope."

"Pweese." She moaned while making big, brown, and sad, round puppy dog eyes.

"Uh…" Oh no not the Kuki sad eyes, which usually makes me say yes. Numbuh 4 thought.

"PWEEEESE!" Numbuh 3 squealed sweetly.

"Ok," Numbuh 4 sighed while giving in. "I'll play with ya."

"Yay! Thanks Numbuh 4!" she said. "Let's play hide and go seek."

"What!" he said.

"You hide and I'll count." She said.

As Numbuh 4 began to walk off, he thought, I have to hide, ha! I wish there was some way for me to sneak out while she's not looking…He stopped in the middle of the hallway. That's it! He thought I'll sneak out while she's counting. Numbuh 4, you are a genius! It's gonna be called hide and sneak! He complimented himself as he ran to the front door.

He passed by Numbuh 3, who was still counting. He was just reaching the front door when he thought. If Numbuh Three can't find me and Numbuh 1 calls and asks for me, and Numbuh 3 tells him I'm not here, I won't here the end of it. That means I can't leave.

Soon after his dilemma, Numbuh 4 noticed that Numbuh 3 was numbers away from finishing. "94, 95, 96…" Numbuh 3 counted.

Oh, crud! Numbuh 4 yelled to himself. I gotta hide! He quickly ran out of the room just as Numbuh 3 finished counting.

"Ready or not Numbuh 4," she said loudly but sweetly, "Here I come!" She ran out the room looking for Numbuh 4.

I gotta find somewhere to hide. Numbuh 4 thought as he ran. I got it! I'll hide in my room. It's the last place she'll look.

Numbuh 4 kept running around the tree house, as he turned a corner he was face to face with Numbuh 3. When she saw him, she got so scared that she lost her balance and fell on top of Numbuh 4.

Numbuh 4 could feel his face burning when he was inches away from kissing Numbuh 3. Why did she land on me? That was the question running through Numbuh 4's mind as he was looking at one shocked and confused Numbuh 3. As their faces got closer, This is kinda cool, he thought. Soon enough, he snapped out of his thoughts. What am I thinking! This isn't cool this is crazy! "Get off of me!" he yelled at Numbuh 3.

"You're just jealous 'cause I found ya." She said giggling.

"I SAID GET OFFA ME!" Numbuh 4 yelled at Numbuh 3 while pushing her off of him. He stood up brushing dust off of him while looking crossly at Numbuh 3.

"Ouch! That hurt!" said Numbuh 3 sitting on the floor sniveling. When she got up, she ran to her room in tears.

"Cruddy girl." Numbuh 4 said under his breath. He went into the main room, sat down on the sofa, and watched some TV.

After sitting on the couch for a few minutes, Numbuh 4 began to feel sorry for yelling at Numbuh 3. I guess I was too harsh on her, he thought. I should probably make it up to her. He got up off of the couch and walked to Numbuh 3's room.
