Crackerjack45: OMG!!! HI!!! I know I haven't updated in a while…or about a year…but I hope you still like it! I think there are some mess-ups like a bunch of stuff I've missed but just enjoy it and pretend it didn't happen!!!

Gingy and Wally arrived at the ice cream place and got a table outside. They ate their ice cream in awkward silence until Gingy said,

"This is good ice cream."

Numbuh 4 stared at his feet. "Yeah it is." There was silence again and Gingy couldn't stand it. She was on a date with the boy she loved. She will not tolerate silence.

"Did you like the fair?"

Wally was shocked. It was obvious wasn't it? His hatred for that place was easily visible wasn't it? WASN'T IT??

"Are you really asking me that? Wasn't it obvious I-"

A British accent whispered in his ear from a small walkie-talkie, "Numbuh 4! You can't get mad at her or everything will go wrong!"

"Oh yeah," the Aussie responded a little too loudly.

"Oh yeah what?"

He looked up at her absentmindedly "Huh?" The thought came back. "Oh yeah…what were we talking about again?"

"Did you like the fair? You said wasn't it obvious that I…"

Numbuh 4 stared blankly at her trying to remember and soon his train of thought returned. "Oh! Right. Wasn't it obvious that I…I…I enjoyed it very much?" He hoped she didn't notice then tension in his voice.

She stared at him waiting for more but then smiled. "Oh good! I hoped you would like it."

Wally ate a spoonful of ice cream. "Yeah. So, how's your visit here? With your family and all…"

"It's good." Gingy leaned back in her seat and looked off to the side. "I guess…"

"What do you mean?"

"Don't get me wrong, everyone seems happy to see me." Her eyes looked depressed as she continued with her story. "But then when Kuki became sad, they paid more attention to her. Like I didn't exist anymore. Then she ran to the tree house."

"Why?"

"I don't know. She said it was my fault. Everything. And she never wanted to see me ever again. She wants me to go back to Japan." She looked up at Wally trying to make him feel bad. And it did. But of course he would never admit to it. "That hurt. Really bad. Imagine your brother saying for you to go back to Australia."

Wally tried to think of baby Joey yelling at him to leave. It almost made him chuckle.

Gingy smiled at her surroundings. "But I don't want to go back. I like it here."

Wally cocked his head to the side in confusion. "Don't you have modeling? Isn't that more fun?" He wasn't some expert, but he thought ever girl wanted to be a model. Wasn't Gingy living her dream in Japan?

Her smile fell as she thought back to it. "It's not all what it's cracked up to be. People don't like you because of you, because you're famous. I don't have real friends like Kuki or Mushi. My friends are my friends because I'm rich and famous so they can brag to their real friends about me."

"You just want some real friends?" Wally felt pity for her.

"Yeah. Kuki kept telling me about how great her friends are. The I kind of got…jealous."

"Is that why you act the way you do?"

"How do I act?" she asked.

"Like a cruddy jerk! Especially to Kuki."

"Oh," Gingy said sadly. "I'm really sorry about that. I don't mean to. I guess my jealousy took over."

"Maybe," he said sarcastically. "You might want to tell her. She's really depressed about that." He stood up to get ready to leave when he remembered something else he wanted to find out. "First, why the crud did you read her diary?"

Gingy paused before answering. "Oh that. I walked around the tree house and was just looking. Then I saw the giant robot bunny. I thought it belonged to Kuki. So I walked inside and found her diary and just got caught up and couldn't stop! It was all an accident. She wouldn't tell me anything anymore so her diary was the only way I could get to know her. It was just another way to talk to her."

"That makes sense…I guess."

"Thanks for understanding. I'm so glad I can trust you" She stood up and looked at her watch. "I have to be somewhere. I'll see you later Wally!"

He waved as she ran off. "Bye Gingy."

Numbuh 1 and Numbuh 2 came out of the bushes once Gingy was out of sight.

Numbuh 1 patted Numbuh 4 on the shoulder. "Numbuh 4, you did a good job."

"Yeah," Numbuh 2 agreed. "We thought you would say something stupid making her suspicious. But she's like an open book to you."

Wally confidently folded his arms. "Yeah, well, when someone needs someone to talk to, just call me. I'm pretty good at this, huh?"

"Sure." Numbuh 1 rolled his eyes. "Now let's get back to the tree house."

They headed over to the tree house to show Numbuh 3 the tape recorder.

Crackerjakc45: I think Numbuh 4's personality changed towards the end to fit him better but…yeah. Don't flame if you don't like it. I only want to hear the opinions of people who enjoy my stories. I don't want to hear you complain how much it sucks. Only I can do that.
