The next morning Numbuh 5 awoke with the light, airy feeling she had the night before. She still could feel his lips on her cheek. It was amazing! She quickly changed and headed down for breakfast. While walking she was so distracted that she didn't notice Numbuh 1 walking towards her reading a report until they collided.

"Huh...oh sorry Numbuh 1," Numbuh 5 said as she picked up the fallen report off the floor. "Didn't see ya."

"No problem numbuh 5," Numbuh 1 said with a bit of anger in his voice.

"You okay boss?" Numbuh 5 asked.

"Oh YES I'm FINE!" Numbuh 1 replied and stomped off.

Whats his problem? Numbuh 5 thought and headed down to the kitchen. Numbuhs 2-4 were sitting down at the table eating breakfast.

"Hey is it just Numbuh 5 or is Numbuh 1 a bit up tight today?" Numbuh 5 asked them.

"I don't know," Numbuh 2 said and the others just shrugged. Numbuh 5 grabbed a bowl and went to pour some cereal when a loud shril voice filled the room.

"NIGIE!" Lizzie voice sounded. Numbuh 5 cringed, that girl's voice sounded like nails on a chalk board. Heavy footsteps sounded followed by a loud slam of a door. All four of

them cringed.

"Maybe 'or right," Numbuh 4 said, "he does seem a bit uptight."

"Oh...which way should we go Nigie?" Lizzie asked as they were walking through the new section of the park. Numbuh 1 cringed if she said 'Nigie' one more time he swore he was going to go drown himself in the lake. He did not need this today. He was hoping for a nice quiet day to finish up a couple of reports, but no! Lizzie just had to hear about the so called "Romantic" walkway in the local park and figure it would be the most "romantic" date at 11 o'clock in the morning.

"I don't know Lizzie, how about the left?" Nigel offered and Lizzie just grabbed his hand and pulled him down the right path.

"Oh Nigie, isn't this so romantic?" Lizzie asked as she was nearly pulling his arm off.

"Oh yes SO romantic," Numbuh 1 said sarcastically, but luckily Lizzie did not notice it.

"Oh Nigie let's sit up here," she said dragging him towards a bench. They sat down and she rested her head on his shoulder. "Oh Nigie I haven't seen you in so long!"

"I know Lizzie it's just with Numbuh 5 being missing..."

"Oh her," Lizzie said angrily, "so is that more important then us?" Numbuh 1 stared in shock, did he hear her right?

"Lizzie, Numbuh 5 was missing for a week she could have been..." Numbuh 1 said.

"I don't care Nigie but that was one whole week I didn't see you!"

"That was one full week of Numbuh 5 in the hands of father she's lucky she wasn't killed!" Numbuh 1 didn't realize that he was shouting.

"Nigel Uno if you care more about that stupid girl then me I don't think we should be dating any more! Nigel Uno we are through!" Lizzie yelled and smacked him across the cheek. She turned and stomped away. Numbuh 1 sat there on the bench, his mouth wide open and a red hand print on his cheek.

Can this damn day get any better, he thought and right as he thought it he felt something fall onto his shoulder. He turned and looked, bird poop.

DAMN IT!

It was around 3 o'clock when the door finally slammed open and the heavy footsteps on the stairs signaled Numbuh 1's return. He marched up the steps, not caring about how much of a racket he was making he just wanted a nice hot shower.

"Hey Numbuh 1," Numbuh 2 said but Numbuh 1 walked right past him and slammed the door shut for the bathroom. "Jeez, whats his problem?" Numbuh 2 shrugged and continued on to the kitchen.

Numbuh 1 sighed as the hot water poured down on his body. He knew that if he had any hair, every single strand would be gray by now because of all the stress he had. He couldn't believe Lizzie broke up with him. Of course their relationship was falling apart but he never expected it to be like this. He sighed. He changed the topic in his mind to last night. Numbuh 5 walking past him flowed into his mind, her expression was just like his expression the first time Lizzie kissed him. He kissed her, that stupid teenager kissed her!

Jealous Numbuh 1? A part of him asked.

No why would I be? He answered.

If you aren't jealous why do you care that Maurice kissed her? He sighed again. He knew he liked her, he could no longer deny it. He like Abigail Lincoln. He like Abigail Lincoln. HE LIKED ABIGAIL LINCOLN! But did Abigail Lincoln like him?

(me) sorry not much tonight or lately. Volleyball + homework + trying to do notes for midterms equals not enough hours in the day!
