The whole Treehouse was shaking from the yell inside of it. It was a fearful, desperate yell, which caused almost all Sector V operatives to sit up and to think: 'Numbuh 4!'

Numbuhs 1, 2 and 5 immediately ran out of their room, straight to Numbuh 4's. But their scared friend already ran to them himself. Only, he didn't stop.

"Numbuh 4, what's--" Numbuh 1 almost fell on the ground when Numbuh 4 pushed him aside and ran as fast as he could to Numbuh 3's room. He ran and ran, with tears in his eyes. The look on his face was full of fear; if this wasn't a nightmare, he didn't know anymore.

As soon as Numbuh 4 got to Numbuh 3's room he entered it, jumped on top of her stuffed animals to her bed and hid under the blanket.

When Numbuh 3 felt something touching her feet she opened her eyes and put the blanket off her.

"Numbuh 4?" she asked surprised. "What are you doing here?"

But Numbuh 4 kept sitting next to her feet with his hands on his head. When Numbuh 3 noticed he was shivering she held him and pulled him to herself.

"There, there, Numbuh 4," she tried. "It's alright, you're safe here." She reminded herself of Numbuh 4's nightmare story and added: "There's no dark alley here…"

Numbuh 4 looked up at her and the tears fell down his cheeks. "N-Numbuh 3…" he started. He was stuttering like crazy.

"Yes, Numbuh 4. Tell Numbuh 3, you know you can trust her." Numbuh 3 tried to smile, but that was a tough job. She couldn't stand those fearful eyes; she didn't know how she could possibly cheer Numbuh 4 up.

"A-alley… N-night… C-creep-p-py… G-girl…"

"Girl?" Numbuh 3 immediately said. She tried to sound as mother-like as just now. "What girl, what are you talking about?"

But Numbuh 4 kept stuttering the same things; this didn't make any sense.

"Numbuh 4!" Suddenly Numbuh 3 grabbed his head with both hands and said: "Calm down! Just tell me what's going on; I want to help you!"

Numbuh 4 stared at her with big eyes; even when she was angry her face looked beautiful. He deluded himself into the belief that only when he'd kiss her he would become calm and tell everything, but he knew that if he really would do that, especially all of the sudden, that Numbuh 3 would probably think he's even crazier than now. And that would be quite crazy.

"O-okay…" he said. He looked away from her; he put his head down and said: "I… I dreamt of that alley again…"

Numbuh 3 said: "Yes?" and expected the rest of the story would come, but on the contrary, Numbuh 3 didn't say anything anymore.

'Poor Wally,' floated through her mind as she suddenly came up with the idea to lay her head peacefully on his. Just when she was about to, she gasped when she heard Numbuh 1's voice: "Go on, Numbuh 4."

The two looked up and saw the others standing in the entry of Numbuh 3's room.

Numbuh 4 preferred shouting to them they had to leave, but the looks on their faces forced him to do as Numbuh 1 told him to.

"O-okay…" he mumbled again. He looked down and said: "It was dark… and stormy. It was raining, and it was very empty…" Numbuh 4 shivered by remembering that horrible emptiness, filled with nothing. That emptiness, compared with the darkness made him afraid; it felt like one step separated from hell.

"And then?" Numbuh 1 asked. "What happened then?"

"T-then something… weird happened. It became very shiny behind the dustbins… And then suddenly…"

"Yes?" all four his friends asked curiously.

"… A… A girl…"

"A girl?" Numbuh 5 repeated. "Since when do you dream about girls?" She started laughing, but when she saw Numbuh 1 looking at her, she stopped.

"Since NOW!" Numbuh 4 answered angrily, as if he was getting his strength back. The sudden touch of Numbuh 3's hand on his shoulder calmed him down and he looked at her. Her eyes seemed to say: 'Don't worry, Wally. If they don't believe you, I assure you I do.' He even smiled by reading that and said: "And then I woke up…"

"So that's it?" Numbuh 2 asked. "The only thing added to your weird dream is a weirdo girl and that's a reason to scream the whole Treehouse upside down?"

"No, that's not it!" Numbuh 4 said, almost believing the message of Numbuh 3's eyes. "When I woke up I SAW that girl, with my very own eyes!"

But like he expected none of his friends looked at him; they all looked at each other, with a weird look on their face. They didn't believe him.

"IT IS TRUE!" he suddenly yelled, which caused the silence to faint away and his friends to gasp of fear. "I really saw that girl! She even said something to me; she asked me to HELP her!"

Numbuh 5 had to bother not to say: "A girl asked help from YOU?" and only looked at him, with the same weird face. So did the others, except for Numbuh 3.

"Tell me Numbuh 4…" she suddenly whispered. When he looked at her she asked: "Was that girl… a ghost?"

Numbuh 4 kept staring at her, one eyebrow raised. But ultimately he answered: "Y-yes… I think so… I could see the wall straight through her body…"

Everyone looked up when they heard that. But considering Numbuh 4 wasn't joking, they didn't dare to suggest it was a hallucination, after what happened the last time they did.

Breaking the silence Numbuh 4 quietly said: "You don't believe me…" Although it was rather said to himself than to the others Numbuh 2 quickly replied: "No no! It's not like that! We believe you, it's just--"

"Just WHAT!" Numbuh 4 said angrily. The tears appeared in his eyes again. "Tell me! Huh! Tell me, what's just? Is it just a silly dream, a weird hallucination? You don't believe it's real! But it is! What do you have to do to make you guys believe me! Why don't you just do! It's not THAT hard, is it? You're my friends! You're supposed to believe me when I'm telling something like this!"

"Numbuh 4…" Numbuh 1 and Numbuh 5 started at the same time.

"NO!" Numbuh 4 interrupted. "Instead of even taking this serious you just laugh me in the face! You watch me with those cruddy weird looks on your face! You just don't believe me! You can't call yourself friends if you don't even believe me!"

"Numbuh 4…" This time it came from Numbuh 3. Instead of yelling her in the face too Numbuh 4 turned around and saw the tears blinking in her eyes. As soon as the first one fell down, he said: "Uh… I… I…"

"Don't you trust me, Numbuh 4?" she asked. "I told you you could. You can trust me; I believe you, Wally. Please believe me too, when I'm telling you this…"

Numbuh 4 kept staring at her, not knowing what to say. After 10 seconds looking right into her wet eyes, he wanted to look away and to turn his head, but Numbuh 3's hands turned it back and she said: "Please…" while moving her head closer to his.

When he did the same, the others knew what was coming and smiled.

Numbuh 4 closed his eyes when his lips came into touch with Numbuh 3's. She did the same, only a few seconds later. The tears were still falling down her cheeks, but this time it were tears of compassion, sympathy and Numbuh 4 had seen it well: love.
