"Wow…" said Numbuh Two, the only one who dared saying something. The others remained silent, looking at Numbuh Eighteen open-mouthed.
"So… you're from the future, huh?" said Numbuh One, Numbuh Eighteen nodded.
"So you know things we don't know!" said happily Numbuh Three and came near the blond girl. "And tell me! Tell me! What's your real name?"
"Eh… my name's Jude…" said looking at her strangely.
"Oh! Mine is Kuki Sanban!" said Numbuh Three, then she took hold of Numbuh Four's hand and hugged him, "And he is Wally Beatles!".
Numbuh Four was blushed.
"Wait… you're Kuki Sanban?" exclaimed Jude, "And you're… you're Wally, Wallabee Beatles..?"
"Yeah… but I prefer to be called Wally…" said Numbuh Four, "Why? Do you know us?".
Now it was Numbuh Eighteen's turn to blush.
"I… ehm… I…" she was embarrassed and she didn't know what to say, "I… not personally… I… oh, man, you're short!"
"What! I'm not!"
"Sorry…" said Numbuh Eighteen immediately, blushing more than before.
"Anyway…" said Kuki smiling a little, "She's Abby Lincoln, and he's Hoagie Gilligan…"
"And I'm Nigel Uno…" said Numbuh One.
Numbuh Eighteen looked at them for a moment.
"I don't believe what's happening…" she whispered.
"What were you saying?" asked Numbuh One,
"Oh, I said that I must return to the future… I have to finish some things with those More Delightfuls… but I don't know how!" said Numbuh Eighteen.
"I could help you!" said Numbuh Two,
"You could?" said smiling Numbuh Eighteen,
"Yeah, I could invent a machine that will send you to the year 2025!" said Numbuh Two grinning, "Because, modestly, I'm the best mechanic in the world, and I could invent and reinvent everything on this and other planets!"
"Stop it! You're making a mountain out of a molehill…" said Numbuh Five.
"Ha! Ha! Very funny… anyway, Numbuh Eighteen, I must tell you that it could take me some weeks, or maybe a month, to do so… besides I never invented a time machine before…".
"So, what do you say? Do you want to stay with us until Numbuh Two finishes his machine?" said Numbuh One smiling. "Or what?"
"That will be great!" said Numbuh Eighteen, smiling widely.
"Oh! Oh! And you'll sleep with me!" exclaimed Numbuh Three and took Jude hand, "Come on! I'll show you my room! Oh, we'll have sooo much fun!" and started running.
Numbuh Five watched Numbuh Three and Numbuh Eighteen running away for a moment before looking at Numbuh Four.
"You know…" she said, smiling, "You two look a looooot alike…"
"You must be joking! My hair is not soo long!" and Numbuh Four couldn't understand why Numbuh Five was laughing so hard.
At Numbuh Three's room…
"So… do you like it?" said Numbuh Three joyfully,
"Oh, my…" Numbuh Eighteen said looking at all those puppets in the room. 'Now I understand form where all those Monkeys that mum have in the attic come from…', Jude thought taking a blue one from a pile.
Numbuh Eighteen looked at Numbuh Three and smiled,
"I love it!"
And Numbuh Three was very happy.
The next morning Jude woke up suddenly in Numbuh Three's room and for a moment she couldn't remember where she was and why. But after seeing all those Rainbow Monkeys all around her, she remembered and looked at the clock.
'Why did I wake up so early…?', she thought and turned back to sleep. It was in that precise second that she heard again the metallic sound that woke her up in the first place.
'What the crud?', she then decided to dress and go see what it was.
Numbuh Two's room was a really large one, full with inventions of all kinds. The thing that immediately catch Numbuh Eighteen's eye was the airplane stuck in one of the walls.
Numbuh Two was working with the hammer on something metallic and Numbuh Eighteen presumed it was her time machine.
"Hey! Good morning…" said Numbuh Eighteen, Numbuh Two looked up.
"Hey… why are you awake? It's really early, you know…" he said with a smile.
"You woke me up…" said Numbuh Eighteen, but seeing Numbuh Two face continued: "But it's ok! You gave me the opportunity to watch the genius at work!"
Numbuh Two smiled.
"You're really good…" said then Jude.
"Thanks…"
"You really did all of this by yourself?" asked Numbuh Eighteen,
"Everything you see!" said Numbuh Two smiling widely. "There's nothing I can't do!"
"My best friend, Numbuh Sixteen, looks a lot like you, you know… she's really smart with this kind of devices… that's why she's our mechanic…"
Numbuh Two listened to her interested.
"Her teenage sister… well, she's mean…" said Numbuh Eighteen smiling to herself, "Always shouting and doesn't want us to even approach her room… but that is how all teenagers are, don't you think?"
"Yeah…" said Numbuh Two, "You really miss your best friend, huh?"
"Yeah…" said Numbuh Eighteen, "She's the best…"
"And your parents? Do you miss your parents?"
Numbuh Eighteen laughed.
"No, not really…" but Numbuh Two couldn't understand why and watched Jude from under his goggles. "May I stay here watching you working?" she said after a moment.
"No problem! Here! Take a seat!" said Numbuh Two smiling.
Sorry for any errors. Happy new year!
