Hello! About time I got back, huh? Please R&R. And thanks to all my reviewers.
Disclaimer- I do not own the KND….Not yet anyway……
Numbuh 5 lay on her bed looking up at the ceiling. Could it be true, What Numbuh 1 said? It can't be. How could Numbuh 1 like Numbuh 5? She lay puzzling over the matter a long time before her eyes slowly closed and she fell asleep.
Numbuh 4 decided to meet Numbuh 3. He walked slowly to her room. If you had seen him you would have mistaken him to be some kind of creepy stalker, lol. He stood outside the curtain, hesitating. Who can blame him? After all, he didn't know what mood Numbuh 3 would be in after what Numbuh 1 did to her. (It wasn't Numbuh 1's fault, the poor thing.)
He timidly called to her, 'Numbuh 3? Can ah come in please? It's Numbuh 4!' He heard a deep sigh from her followed by an answering call. 'Sure, c'mon in Numbuh 4!' He walked in, feeling a bit nervous.
She was sitting on her bed, hugging a rainbow monkey doll. As soon as he walked close enough to her bed, she flung her self on him crying and told him, 'I'm so sorry, Wally!' He was baffled, not only at the fact that she called him Wally and flung herself at him but also that she was sorry. On an impulse he hugged her close to him, putting his head on top of her head. (Just for the record, Wally is taller than Kuki.)
He patted her back and said, 'Its not yeuh fault Kuki, Why are ya sorry?' She looked straight into his eyes and began inching closer to his face. Numbuh 4 was surprised, but he followed suit. Closer…..close….closer….just a bit more……
BEEP….BEEP….BEEP…… 'KND, it's a mission, report to the meeting room immediately!' called Numbuh 1's voice. But this time it was not filled with his usual enthusiasm and courage, but it had a feeble note to it.
Numbuh 4 and Numbuh 3 sprang apart blushing red. Numbuh 4 mumbled something and ran out of her room. Numbuh 3 let out a disappointed sigh and followed suit.
All of the KND assembled faithfully in the meeting room, but none of them were able to look at each other. Numbuh 362's face appeared on the screen. Everyone immediately became alert. They knew that if the leader herself approached them, then it must be Important. 'Numbuh 1! Moon Base to Sector V' 'Yes Numbuh 362! What is it?' 'Numbuh 1! Father has set forth on a very dangerous task. We still do not know what the dangers are involving it, that's why we decided to entrust the task to your sector. I want you to find out what father's plan is. We'll send you back up shortly. Do you follow me?' 'Yes Ma'am!' 'Good Luck Sector V! We're counting on you.'
'Move out troops!' shouted Numbuh 1. 'Numbuh 2, to the Mosquittoh immediately. Numbuh's 3 & 4 please collect as many weapons as possible. And Numbuh 5……' She raised her eyes to look at him. He felt grief overwhelm him again, but this time he wasn't going to show it. 'Help Numbuh 2 please' He said with a break in his voice.
It didn't take Numbuh 5 long to sense that he was in deep sorrow. But she didn't question the authority of her leader. Everyone obeyed immediately what he commanded.
Soon, they were in the air, each carrying on their own jobs. Numbuh 5 glanced one or two time at their leader but no one dared to say anything. Suddenly they felt a jolt and the Mosquittoh began its descent. Numbuh 2 yelled from the cockpit, 'Guys, something is wrong with the engines. It's not responding.' 'KND, parachutes now!' called Numbuh 1. Everyone obediently got out their parachutes and prepared to jump out. 'Abandon ship!' cried Numbuh 2 and they all jumped out. All four of them landed safely in the park. Wait….something's wrong…… four? Where's Numbuh 1? Thought Numbuh 5 searching desperately for him.
'Guys!' she called out urgently to the others who were trying to untangle themselves from their parachutes. 'Numbuh 1 is missing. He didn't jump like the rest of us.'
All of them were alarmed. They had already forgiven Numbuh 2 for giving the dare and Numbuh 1 for carrying it out. They all liked and admired their leader deeply and the thought of losing him at the age of 12 terrified all of them. 'What the hell are we waiting for? C'mon, let's look for him.' Said Numbuh 2.
They all ran towards the place where they thought the Mosquittoh had crashed. They found the ship and began searching for Numbuh 1. An hour went by and they hadn't even found a clue to Numbuh 1's whereabouts. It was like he had disappeared into thin air.
Numbuh 3 noticed that Numbuh 5 was beginning to get desperate and she called to the others.
'Numbuh 5, its ok! We'll find him. We promise.' Numbuh 5 buried her face in her hands and started sobbing. 'Numbuh 5 sure hopes we find him guys. She…we can't bear to loose him.'
'C'mon Numbuh 5! He can't be far really!' said Numbuh 2. 'Yeah Numbuh 5…..' Numbuh 3 consoled her best friend. 'And we're going to find him if it's the last thing we do!' cried a determined Aussie.
Numbuh 5 stood up smiling weakly. 'Thanks guys! I bet Numbuh 1 will be proud of you all.'
Let's see what happened to Numbuh 1, shall we?
Ok…I guess I'll tell you next chappy. Sorry guys! I've got major writer's block. Write to me if you've got any ideas. K?
Buhbye……R&R
