Chapter 2: The clues

The words on the paper said:

Happy birthday, Numbuh 5!

You just follow the clues, that we prepared and in the end

youll come to the surprise we made you! Have fun! After

all, it is your happy day. Your birthday!

From your dearest teammates:

Numbuh 1 Numbuh 2 Numbuh 3 Nambeh 4

Numbuh 5 was even sadder, because of the words on the paper. Her happy day. Yeah, riiight. She knew, she cant dissapoint her team, so she decided to go look for a clue in the treehouse. Maybe, that will turn her mind into another way. Into thinking something else, not her sadness.

She was looking for quite a while now, but she still didnt find a thing. She searched the entire kitchen and all of her teammates rooms. She also looked in her own room. But, nothing.

Then, she remembered: What about, if there IS no clue? What about, if my team just wanted to keep me buissy, so I wont go look for them and discover, what are they preparing? Oh…I hope Im wrong. Because that means, theyre doing something really big. But, I dont want anything. Because, Im not happy. I just cant be happy. I think its better, if I dont pretend, that Im the lucky girl. But, I cant dissapoint them, either. Oh, what should I do? What?

»Oh, its perfect!« said Numbuh 1, when he saw their results.

Numbuh 3 was really excited about this: »Wheee! Lets go get Numbuh 5 now!«

She wanted to rush back to the treehouse, but Numbuh 1 stopped her.

»Wait up, Numbuh 3!« he said. » I think, we still have one more thing to do.«

»What?« asked Kuki.

Numbuh 1 answered: »Well, duh! Call the others, of course!«

Numbuh 3 rememberd: »Oh, right! Im being so silly lately! Its probably, because of Numbuh 5s birthday and everything. Ooorr…..It could also be some other reason….«

When she said that last sentence, she looked at some certain person, but no one noticed it.

»Ill pretend,« Abby said to herself.

She returned to her room and put on her CD player. She choose a sad song. She realised, that if shes gonna listen to it, shell just be even more unhappy, than she is now, so, she took a happy song. But she still wasnt happy.

Suddenlly, she saw another paper on her bed. She put down the CD player and went to read it.

Maybe I was wrong, and they really made clues for me, she thought.

She looked at the letters and read:

Numbuh 5, we wish you Happy Birthday again!

If youre reading this, it means, you have just found the first clue.

Here it goes:

With it, you destroy the lice,

But it isnt ice.

Its also delicious

For people unvicious.

The next clue will be there.

She immeadiatlly knew, that it was nacho cheese. First, she went into the kitchen, but there was no cheese left there. Then, an idea occured in her mind: The cheese room

Numbuh 5 went there. That was the second time she was here. She remembered the time, when The Delightfull Children gave her the fake hat.

Those were the good times, she thought. I was still 10 back then. But, now, Im 11. And then, Ill be 12. And then 13. And, then….a teenager.

She shook her head to make those thoughts go away and she focused on the next clue.

After a little while, she found it, near the red button, she pressed to cheese the place up, when the treehouse was full of lice.

Numbuh 1 took the comunnicator, made out of the deodorant, and contacted right with Numbuh 362. She appeared on the screen.

»Hello, Numbuh 362,« said Nigel.

She said to him: »Oh, Hi, Numbuh 1. How can I help you?«

»Well, as you probably know, its Numbuh 5s birthday today. And…Well…I was wondering…If you could come to the party we made for her?« asked Numbuh 1 with a smile on his face.

Numbuh 362 answered: »Of course Ill come. And not only me. A lot of other kids from the MoonBase will come with me. We wanted to come, anyway, and surprise Numbuh 5 with a gift we made for her.«

Numbuh 1 was happy: »Excellent! We made a surprise for her, too.«

»Alright. Where were you planing to throw a party?« Numbuh 362 asked.

Numbuh 1 told her the location and Numbuh 362 said: »OK. Well be there in an hour. We still have to finish something.«

»Perfect!« said Nigel.

Numbuh 362: »End transmission.«

The others heard the talk between Numbuh 362 and Numbuh 1. They cheered.

The next clue said:

You just found the next clue!

Congratulations! And, also congratulations, because of your special day!

Here. Try to solve this one:

Its an insect,

That can infect.

But that is not it,

Cause this one doesnt eat.

A machine, that can fly

Through wild, blue sky.

Have fun solving it!

Numbuh 5 thought: This is just too easy. Its Numbuh 2s invention, the M.O.S.Q.U.I.T.O.H. They coulve at least think of something a little harder.

She went to the room, where all Numbuh 2s inventions were. She saw the M.O.S.Q.U.I.T.O.H. immediatlly. Now, she was completelly focused on those clues. Luckilly, she forget about her past thoughts.

An hour later, Numbuh 362 and some other kids from the MoonBase landed on the grass. They went out their spaceships, but they left a gift inside. It was in the biggest ship.

Numbuh 1 welcomed them: »Hello, everyone. Were very happy, that you came. Im sure, Numbuh 5 will be, too.«

Numbuh 362: »It was our pleasure to come here. I always congratule important operatives on their birthday. And Numbuh 5 is no exception. She has done a lot of helpfull things for the organisation. As well as all of you, of course.«

Numbuh 1 answered: »Were really happy, that you think that way about us, Numbuh 362. But, now, we have to prepare. I think Numbuh 5 will be here, soon.«

Numbuh 4 asked: »Can we first go look at the present you made for her, Numbuh 362?«

»Well…I dont know. I think its better, that Numbuh 5 comes here, first. Then, youll be just as surprised as she.« answered Numbuh 362.

Numbuh 4 said: »Whatever.« But he really wanted to know, what this special gift is.

Abby came to Numbuh 1s room. Thats where the last clue was.

It was in his drawer. She took it and read it:

This the last and final clue!

The surprise is in the place,

That used to make a brace.

They make you a freak

And thats the place you seek.

Good luck solving it! But, we dont think youll need it, cause everyone is lucky on its b-day!

One thought came to Numbuh 5s head: The abandoned brace factory!

When she read the last sentence, she thought: Why do they always have to overreact? They put something about birthdays in every single clue! And, that just makes me…Sadder.

She sighed and get on her way to the factory.
