Chapter 3: I'm Sorry Numbuh 3

Numbuh 3 sat on her bed crying and hugging her Mr. Happyham plush puppy doll.

"Numbuh 4 is so mean," she said between tears to her doll. "He pushed me and scraped my elbow." She rolled up her sleeve and showed her doll a rather red sore on her arm.

What have I done? Numbuh 4 thought to himself while listening outside of Numbuh 3's room. I didn't mean to hurt her arm and her feelings. He walked away towards the main room thinking that it wasn't a good idea to apologize to Numbuh 3 right then.

Just then Numbuh 4 stopped in the doorway to the main room. I got it! He thought. I know a way to make Numbuh 3 feel better; I may mot like it, but she will definitely! He rushed off to the kitchen to prepare.

Minutes later, Numbuh 3 was feeling better. "I wonder why Numbuh 4 was so mean to me." She said to her doll friends. Then there was a knock and Numbuh 4 at the door/curtain thingy.

"Because Numbuh 4 was being a jerk." Numbuh 4 said coming in with a blue bag. He looked at her and asked, "Is your arm okay?"

Numbuh 3 looked down at the floor and replied, "It's just scraped and sore." Then she looked at Numbuh 4 while she rolled up her sleeve and said, "Fix me."

"That's why I'm here," he said. Numbuh 4 observed the scrape and thought, If I can remember what Numbuh 3 said about scrapes; First, I need to put this hydrogen peroxide stuff on her arm. "Ok Numbuh 3," he said with care while he pulled out a small brown bottle of hydrogen peroxide and poured it on a piece of gauze. "This might sting." Numbuh 4 carefully placed it on Numbuh 3's arm.

Numbuh 3 screamed then slapped Numbuh 4's face and yelled, "I thought you said that might hurt."

"Look, I didn't know it would hurt that much." Numbuh 4 answered while putting antibacterial cream on her arm while trying to find any splinters. Afterwards, he put a smiley face bandage on Numbuh 3's arm.

"Thank you so much, Numbuh 4." Thanked Numbuh 3. "You're the best!"

Awesome! Numbuh 4 thought She said I am the best! "You're welcome," Numbuh 4 replied. "But this is just the beginning."

"Of what?" Asked a confused Numbuh 3.

"Your surprise." He answered.

"Yay!" Numbuh 3 cheered. "Uh…where is it?" She looked around her room and saw nothing but her collection of dolls.

"It's in uh… the kitchen."

"Come on, Numbuh 4," Said Numbuh 3 grabbing Numbuh 4's hand. "Let's go!"

Out of Numbuh 3's room, the twosome ran down the hall, through the main room and into the kitchen where Numbuh 3 stood in the doorway.

Jeez, thought Numbuh 4. I thought she never stop running, He began to notice that Numbuh 3 was about to cry. "Don't cry Numbuh 3," he said soothingly. "I did the best I could." Oh sure, He thought sarcastically. As if three Rainbow monkey balloons, a pepperoni and pineapple pizza with extra cheese, grape soda, and a few chocolate chip cookies is a way to say I'm sorry. "Listen…uh Numbuh 3," Numbuh 4 said. "This is just a way to say I'm sorry about yelling at you, pushing you down, and your arm and all."

"Oh, thank you, Numbuh 4!" Said Numbuh 3. "How did you know I liked Rainbow monkey balloons, pepperoni and pineapple pizza with extra cheese, grape soda, chocolate chip cookies and that I was hungry?" She ran over to the table and sat down.

"Uh…lucky guess? Replied Numbuh 4 as he said beside her.

Soon afterwards, there was only one slice of pizza left. Numbuhs 3 and 4 reached for it at the same time. Numbuh 4 touched it first, followed by Numbuh 3's hand on his. The both looked deep into each other's eyes for a while until they both turned away blushing rose.

"You can have it, Numbuh 3," said Numbuh 4 rubbing the back of his head. "I'm full ya know."

"Me too," Agreed Numbuh 3 looking away and rubbing her stomach. "My tummy can't take no more."

They decided to leave the pizza slice to whoever wants it later. They walked into the main room and sat down on the couch.

"Uh, Numbuh 3," inquired Numbuh 4. "Do you forgive me?"

"Of course silly." She said giggling.

Whew, thought Numbuh 4 with a sigh of relief That was close because I thought I would have 2 do something stupid like-

"If you really want to make it up to me," said Numbuh 3. You can play Rainbow monkeys with me."

Numbuh 4 was staring helplessly at the giggling girl. Say no Wally kept running through his mind, but Numbuh 4 said "Ok let's play, Rainbow dorkies." What the crud am I doing? He thought angrily to himself Oh well if it is going to make Numbuh 3 happy, It's

worth it.

Aww, how sweet of Numbuh 4. Ok, next chapter info: Numbuh 4 plays Rainbow monkeys with Numbuh 3. Will he hurt her feelings again or (pardon the pun) will his true colors show. Read and see!
