Emily continued to cover her mouth as tightly she could...what could the 'unless' possibly be? She looked down calmly and waited.

"Unless you give me Yipper card number 42!" He grinned.

"What?" Wally exclaimed, glaring. "No way! That card took forever to get!"

Emily just shook her head behind the wall...she didn't know what had just occured. "Boys are so STUPID!" she said loudly enough so Wally and Hoagie could hear. They quickly turned their gaze behind the wall and saw her sitting there.

"Hey! We heard that!" Hoagie said walking over to her.

"We are not stupid! Girls are!" Wally followed after Hoagie

She looked up at them. "Oh..uh...hey guys...you heard that, huh?" she was speaking nervously and blushing like a maniac. She turned and glared at Hoagie, "So Hoagie, who is it that likes Numbuh 4?" she questioned.

"Well duh it was.." he stopped and looked at Numbuh 4 staring at his yipper number 42 card and grinned. "A secret!"

Emily raised an eyebrow at Hoagie. "A secret, ay? Well...you two just go play with your yipper cards and talkin' bout your 'secrets' and I'm gonna be over here." She pointed to a nearby table and looked at the guys. As she walked past she slipped a yipper number 42 into Wally's hands. "You might need this, in case you don't wanna waste your other one," she whispered and skipped off.

Emily walked back up to Wally and grabbed the card. "Actually, I've changed my mind..you can use your OWN dam card," she said and walked back to the spot.

Wally stood there, his eyes widened. Then he looked down at his Yipper card then to Hoagie. "uh.."

"Come on Wally.. or you will never know who likes you! It could be Kuki you know!"

Wally blushed and looked away, handing the card slowly to him. "Here.. just.. just take it!"

She quietly stood behind another wall. "Heh, I'm beginning to like these walls," she thought...but then she began to silently cry. "He's giving up his yipper only so he can know if it's KUKI who likes him," she whispered to herself and fell to the ground.

Through tears, she still silently listened for Hoagie to say her name.

"It's Emily!" he said with a smile

Wally blushed slightly and stared at him. "You're kidding, right?"

"That would be a pretty bad joke if I was, Numbuh 4."

"Aren't your jokes always bad?" he asked Hoagie with a grin.

Emily sat there and choked back as she heard her name. "It's Emily..." Hoagie saying it rang through her ears like no other. She cried a little, devastated by the reaction Wally gave. She clenched her head to her knees knowing he really didn't like her back.

Wally laughed and then sighed. "You know what, I don't care.. I ...don't like girls, anyways, Numbuh 2!" he said with a determained grin.

Staring at his new yipper card Hoagie said, "Well, then why did you give me this?"

Emily perked up a little to listen to Wally's response. She looked down at the yipper she was going to give him before, but took back. "Why DID he give up his yipper?" she whispered.

Wally frowned and looked down at all his other yipper cards and sighed. "Because, I was just curious.. thats.. all."

"Mmhmm, alright, Numbuh 4!" he turned around and walked off with the card.

Emily got up still crying and turned the corner looking down the whole time. As she was walking she crashed completely into Numbuh 4 spilling all his yipper cards. "Oh! Oh my gosh...I'm so sorry!" she said, still crying. She bent down to pick up all the cards for Wally.

He stopped and stared at her. "My cards!" He bent over and went to go pick them up as well.

Hoagie smirked, watching them.

Emily wiped her tears quickly away with her sleeves, in hopes that Wally wouldn't see her weakness. She collected the last of the cards and handed them to Wally. "Wow, I really...really am sorry..." she looked down disappointingly.

He grinned slightly. "It's alright, as long as you helped me pick them up!" He took the rest from her with a smile.

She looked up at Wally, slightly blushing. "Oh well, I better go then...cya Wally..." she walked off slowly towards the picnic tables to sit down.

Wally glared at Hoagie and followed her, sitting across from her at the tables. "Hey, mind if I join you, actually?"

Emily looked up with a serious face. "No, I wouldn't mind at all," she stated, then looked back down towards the book she had begun to read.

Wally sat down and started to look at his cards, then to her "..."

Emily, still a bit upset from what had happened earlier, looked up at Wally for a brief moment before looking back down. "What is it Numbuh 4?" she calmly asked.

The blonde haired boy stared at her and shrugged, feeling weird now, knowing that she liked him.

She looked up and frowned slightly. "Look Wally, I don't have time for this if you're just gonna sit there," she said sternly. She stood up slowly, as did Wally, and suddenly she felt Hoagie come up behind her and push her towards Numbuh 4.

Hoagie smirked at her with a wink and walked off from her.

Wally stared at her and sighed, turning away from her, thinking, well, knowing because she told him, that she didn't care.

Emily turned and gave Hoagie a quick glare before turning back to the blonde haired boy in front of her. "Heh, sorry about that Numbuh 4, Hoagie's been acting...strange lately.." she tried to say before turning really red.

"I know that.." he said with a growl, walking away from them both.

She quickly turned around and grabbed Hoagie. "HOAGIE P. GILLIGAN JR!" she yelled at him very angrily. "You weren't supposed to make him HATE me! Go fix this!" Emily cried and threw him to the ground.

Hoagie ran over to the short blonde boy and started to talk to him, whispering, so Emily couldn't hear.

Emily raised an eyebrow. "Hmph, wonder what they're talking about," she asked herself before turning around to go lean against a tree.

Wally walked back over to her and smiled slightly. "Sorry about that, Emily!" he said while rubbing the back of his head.

Emily raised an eyebrow at him, "Uhh, it's okay Wally," she said. "What did Hoagie tell you?"

"Nothing," he said with a gentle smile, then looked at Hoagie and glared when she didn't see.

She laughed at him for obviously lying. "Okay, whatever you say Wally," she smiled at him slightly then sat down against the tree.

He went over to her and sat down next to her with the same gentle smile, almost seeming like a different person.

She gave him an incredibly weird look while her hair blew softly in the wind. "Numbuh 4, what's wrong with you? You seem different," she asked him curiously.

"Different?" he asked with that smile. "How do I seem different, Emily?"

Emily shook her head and looked down at her book while talking to him, "I donno, just...different. That's all. You were mad at me earlier and now you aren't." She looked up at him with sparkling eyes.

He sighed and looked up at the tree with a smile, his mind thinking about little things.

She looked at him with a curious grin, "Wutcha thinkin' about Wally?" She giggled and went back to her book.

Hoagie came over to the tree and slightly kicked Wally with a wink before whispering something in his ear.

Wally hissed at Hoagie and looked away from him. "Oh nothing! " he said in response to Emily's question.

Emily waved to Hoagie as he went by, being happy that he ruined the awkward moment. She looked up at the sky and began to think about things, some she didn't want to think about. "So, have you told Kuki you like her yet?" Emily choked to ask.

"NO!" he yelled, not having that smile anymore, looking angry. "Why would I say something like that, I don't like her!"

She tried to scramble from the tree, her eyes in tears. "I'm...sorry...I didn't mean it.." she stuttered before getting up to run away sobbing. Hoagie walked up to Wally and punched him lightly. "Good job smart guy," he said before running after Emily.
