Chapter 6: Let's Dance Under the Sunset, Kuki

I could have said that I liked Yipper cards, I could have said that I liked sports, I even could have said that I liked her, but I had to say the thing that I hate as much as those Rainbow Monkeys. Numbuh 4 thought. He sat on the couch with Numbuh 3 still holding his hand. Numbuh 3 got up off the couch while letting go of his hand. "Where are you going?" he asked.

"To find music for us to dance to." Numbuh 3 replied.

"Wait a second," said Numbuh 4 getting off of the couch, "I did not say anything about dancing."

"You said that you liked it." Said Numbuh 3. "And besides, I know a great place to find music to dance to."

"Where?" asked Numbuh 4.

"You'll see." Numbuh 3 walked out of the room to find the music. As she walked out of the room, she turned to Numbuh 4 and asked, "What song should we dance to?"

"I don't know," said Numbuh 4. "Just pick something. I don't care."

"Ok," she said as she skipped out of the main room. A few minutes later, Numbuh 3 came back with some CDs. "I couldn't decide." She said putting the CDs on a nearby table. "So I wanted you to pick a CD."

"Does it really matter?" asked Numbuh 4 getting up from the couch. "And…and," he looked at the discs. "Where did you get these from?"

"Numbuh 5's room." She replied.

"Numbuh 5's room?" he asked.

"Is there an echo in here?" she asked.

"Are you sure Numbuh 5 lets you listen to her music?" Numbuh 4 asked

"Not really," Numbuh 3 answered. "But she did say something about her room is as open as Fort Knox."

"Oh yeah, that's very welcoming." Said Numbuh 4 sarcastically.

Numbuh 3 walked over to the boom box and said, "Let's dance to this," she put a CD in. "I love this song."

"What is it?" asked Numbuh 4 while trying to snatch the CD case that Numbuh 3 was holding. As if I don't know, he thought. It's a slow, mushy love song.

"Who cares," she replied. "Let's just dance." She pressed the 'play' button and out came music totally different from what Numbuh 4 expected.

Hey, this is not slow and mushy. He thought. But it's still a love song. As the music started, Numbuh 4 asked, "What song is this?"

"It's called 'It Happens Every Time' by Dream Street." She said. As she started to dance she sang along with the music, then she heard another voice that was Numbuh 4's. "You like this song don't you?" Numbuh 3 asked.

Numbuh 4 stopped singing and turned to Numbuh 3 and replied, "Well, I like the beat." He felt himself turn pink I guess it does happen every time when I see you. He thought. And it happens every time when I think of you. I remember that it was magic when we met on Dream Street. He then remembered the first time that they met.

End Flashback

Before he knew it Numbuh 4 was dancing with Numbuh 3. I guess I like dancing and music after all. He said to himself as he grabbed Numbuh 3's hand.

"Where are we going?" Numbuh 3 asked.

I can't believe I'm going to say this, Numbuh 4 thought. Or even think this. "To look at the sunset and dance."

Then Numbuhs 3 and 4 went out on the balcony, and sat down to look at the sunset. As they went outside the music slowed down to Monica's 'For You I Will".

"This sunset sure is beautiful," said Numbuh 3 staring dreamily at it.

Taking her out to see the sunset, then getting ready to slow dance with her. What next? Numbuh 4 asked himself. Am I going to want to kiss her?

"I like this song too, Numbuh 4," said Numbuh 3.

"Why?" asked Numbuh 4. I can tell you why because I will do just about anything for you. He said to himself.

"Well, I don't know why really," she answered. "Probably because it's so sweet."

"Do you want to dance?" Numbuh 4 asked.

"What?" asked Numbuh 3.

"Let's dance Kuki." Numbuh 4 asked while holding Numbuh 3's hand.

"Kuki?"

"That's your name isn't it?"

"Yeah."

"So what's the problem?"

"Nothing," Numbuh 3 answered turning red. "It's just that every time you say my name, I feel special, Wally"

"Ok," Numbuh 4 said while blushing. "So let's start dancing."

As soon as they started dancing, Numbuh 4 said to himself, Oh no, Numbuh 4 said to himself. I'm getting a strange feeling like I want to…to kiss her. Like I want to kiss Kuki like what she is trying to do now. He took a second look and saw Numbuh 3 very close to kissing him. I cant believe she's going to kiss me. He thought. Since this is a one in a lifetime chance, so I'll do it; I'll regret it, but I'll do it. Numbuh 4 took in a deep breath and leaned over to Numbuh 3 to kiss her, but then there was a cracking sound.

Numbuh 3 stopped before she kissed Numbuh 4, "Numbuh 4," she asked. "What's that sound?"

"I guess that's the sound of the wood beneath us." Numbuh 4 said looking down under at the cracking wooden boards. He looked at her and backed away and asked, "Hey, why are you calling me by my number again?"

"I don't know," she answered. "But now that the wood is cracking, that means we might-" she stopped then they fell from the balcony. "FALL!" she screamed.

As soon they fell, Numbuh 4 grabbed a tree branch one hand and grabbed Numbuh 3's hand with the other. That was close Thought Numbuh 4. "What are we going to do now?" He said.

"You just hold on to that branch," she answered. "Help is on the way."

"Who is on the way?" Numbuh 4 asked again. Just then the branch started shaking and it started to break. 'Please tell me Numbuh 3 that you didn't call…it." He said as he saw two red, glowing eyed.

"No I didn't call it," Numbuh 3 said. "I only called H.I.P.P.I.E.-H.O.P. Now let go of the branch."

"Are you crazy!" he asked.

"No," Numbuh 3 said, "Just let go of the branch, and H.I.P.P.I.E.-H.O.P will catch us."

"Ok since I have no choice, I'll let go." Numbuh 4 let go of the branch and just as soon as the two fell again H.I.P.P.I.E.-H.O.P. was there in the blink of an eye.

"Whew, that was close," said Numbuh 3 sitting in her soft H.I.P.P.I.E.-H.O.P seat . "If H.I.P.P.I.E.-H.O.P wasn't here it would have hurt falling on the ground.

Well at least you're not hurt. Numbuh 4 said to himself.

Poor Numbuh 4, he was about to fulfill his lifelong dream of kissing Numbuh 3. Lets take a moment of silence. Ok that's enough, next chapter info: Numbuhs 3 and four get back in the tree house after spending time in H.I.P.P.I.E.-H.O.P. remembering all of the funny times before they were in the KND. Will a confession come up or will Numbuhs 1 and 2 come back or both? Keep reading and reviewing, funny stuff on the way!
