Chapter 5: Comics to Confessions

"Numbuh 4?" asked Numbuh 3. "Where are you?" She came into the main room and saw him on the couch reading a Yipper comic book.

He looked up at her and asked, "Did ya come up here to make more fun of me?" then looked back at his book.

"No, Numbuh 4," she said sitting beside him. "I came to apologize for laughing at you."

"Numbuh 3," he began putting down his comic book. "You don't have to apologize because you know I forgive you every time."

Numbuh 3 sat there with tears of joy and said, "Thank you Numbuh 4," she leaned over and gave him a gentle hug. "You are so nice."

Numbuh 4 sat there, confused expecting a suffocating, tight hug. Instead he got a light, tender one. "You're welcome." he said That was unexpected. He thought.

"Do you want to read comics with me Numbuh 3?" he asked What a stupid question! He yelled to himself. Girls don't read comics.

"Ok Numbuh 4," she replied. "I got this one comic the other day called 'Bunny Bunny and the Secret Garden'." Numbuh 3 held up a comic that of course had a picture of a rabbit, a watering can and a bunch of smiling, dancing flowers. "But I finished it yesterday, so I'm reading my favorite magazine, 'Leslie Franc'."(Lisa Frank)

Cruddy girl magazines. Numbuh 4 thought to himself. What do they see in them? I mean the colors, characters and the embarrassing-. His thoughts were interrupted.

"Do you want to take this quiz, Numbuh 4?" Numbuh 3 asked him

QUZZIES! He yelled to himself. The embarrassing quizzes. "What kind of cruddy quiz?" He asked.

"It's a boyfriend/girlfriend couple quiz." Said Numbuh 3.

"WHAT!" exclaimed Numbuh 4. "Why do you want me to take it?"

"Because I'm a girl and you're a boy and were together most of the time, so…" Said Numbuh 3 turning pink.

"All right," Numbuh 4 said. "Let's take the dumb girly quiz.

"Yay!" cheered Numbuh 3. "Ok first question: It's Valentines Day and you forgot to give your boyfriend/girlfriend a gift, you would give them, a: a kiss; b: a rose; or c: a coupon to the same restaurant you took them to last year."

"I'd pick 'a'-" answered Numbuh 4 being caught off guard. "I mean 'b'." He corrected himself while turning cherry.

Numbuh 3 looked at him in disbelief, "Ok," she said in her regular cheery voice. "Next question, How often do you save your boyfriend/girlfriend from danger? a: every chance you get; b: every now and then; or c: let them save themselves?"

"Uh… 'a'?" said Numbuh 4 turning more red.

"Question 3," began Numbuh 3. "You are at the movies with your friends, and you see your boyfriend/girlfriend there, where do you sit? a: in front of your friends; b: where he or she picks or c: go to a movie you like?"

This is getting stupid thought Numbuh 4. "I pick a."

"The next question," said Numbuh 3. "You see someone else talking to your boyfriend/girlfriend, how jealous are you? a: somewhat; b: not concerned; or c: you're ready to fight?"

"Defiantly c," replied Numbuh 4.

"Don't I know it," said Numbuh 3 rolling her eyes.

"Was that a trick question?" asked Numbuh 4.

"Forget what I just said." Numbuh 3 answered. "Ok the final question, How much do you love your boyfriend/girlfriend? a: a lot; b: a little; or c: not much?"

Now that was a question that gave Numbuh 4 weird feelings. He was scarlet just sitting there realizing that he was practically on the edge of confessing. I defiantly know the answer. He said to himself. But I can't say it without saying my true feelings, and knowing Numbuh 3 she will tell everyone. "Ok forget the quiz, Numbuh 3," he said while holding her hands. "There is something that I have been wanting to tell you."

"What is it, Numbuh 4?" she asked while she moved closer to him.

Numbuh 4 took a deep breath. Then he said, "I wanted to say that…uh I think that you…um I mean…I think that-" He was interrupted when Numbuh 3 let go of his hands and backed away disgusted. "What happened?" he asked.

"It's your hands," she said. "They are all clammy."

"Oh, that." he said. He cleared his throat and said, "All I'm trying to say is that we don't need a cruddy quiz for me to tell you that I love y-" He froze right then. He couldn't tell her that he loved her; instead he looked around for a distraction. "Love…love ," he stammered until he saw a boom box. "Love music," he said just then. "And dancing."

"You do?" asked Numbuh 3. "I do too." She grabbed his hand, not grossed out this time. "Come on Numbuh 4," she said. "Let's dance!"

Ok this is the end of the chapter people. In this chapter most of the questions from Numbuh 3's magazine came from various ¾ episodes, except the first one (I made it up ). Ok Next chapter info: Numbuh 3 and 4 dance in the clubhouse, then they dance outside. While dancing Numbuh 4 gets a strange urge to kiss Numbuh 3. Will something come up or will someone go down?
