A/N: Hello all. I've been on vacation but now I'm back so I'll update all my stories soon. :) I own NOTHING!!!
Chapter 7: He Does?
"Do I have to do this?" Numbuh 2 whined as he sat in the living room with Numbuh 86 waiting for Numbuh 60. They had come home from school, which aside from the Gonzales incident had gone well, 4 hours ago and that was all Numbuh 2 had said.
"Yes! And that's probably the 20 millionth time you've asked." Numbuh 86 said looking annoyed. "Come on just do this for me Hoagie. By tonight we'll probably switch back."
Numbuh 2 slouched down looking even more annoyed. 2 seconds later he sat up again and stared at Numbuh 86.
"What?" She asked.
"You called me, Hoagie." He said a smile playing across his face.
"I did not!"
"Yes you did!"
"I did not!"
"You did too!"
"I did not!" Numbuh 86 protested.
"You said, just do this for me Hoagie." Numbuh 2 smirked. "You did!"
"Fine maybe I did." Numbuh 86 grumbled a blush spreading across her face. "It just slipped out!"
"Right." Numbuh 2 said slowly as the elevator dinged. He turned around to face the elevator and stood up. 5 seconds later Numbuh 60 stepped into the tree house.
"Ready to go, Numbuh 86?" He asked brushing his hair out of his eyes impatiently.
"Yeah." Numbuh 2 said slowly. "Let's go."
He walked past Numbuh 86 being sure to mutter, "You owe me BIG!"
She smirked and waved.
"Have fun!" She called and the last thing she saw before the elevator closed was Numbuh 2 glaring at her.
She giggled and flopped onto a couch. She swiped a magazine from a coffee table and began to read.
She had been reading for about half an hour when she became aware of laughing. She looked up and saw a smirking Numbuh 5.
"Like Numbuh 5's magazines, huh Numbuh 2?" She teased sitting next to Numbuh 86.
Numbuh 86 smiled. "Maybe they aren't to bad." She started to say but stopped when she realized what Numbuh 2 would do to her if when he found out that she tarnished his boy reputation.
"I mean I was just seeing what's in a girl magazine." Numbuh 86 said throwing the magazine to Numbuh 5. All credit to her, she caught it easily and continued to smirk.
"How you holding up Numbuh 2?" She asked, smirk disappearing.
"What do you mean?" Numbuh 86 asked.
Numbuh 5 rolled her eyes. "About Numbuh 86 going on a date with Numbuh 60. Everyone knows you have a crush on her."
Numbuh 86 frowned. "I do? And it's NOT a date."
"Are you sure? And about the other thing: it's so obvious." Numbuh 5 said.
Numbuh 86's eyes widened.
"He does?" She whispered.
"Um..I gotta go get something from home." She said quickly before vaulting over the couch and running to the elevator.
"Yeah right." Numbuh 5 muttered before starting to read her magazine.
"Maybe we should get her to join the team." Cupid said. "She sure got the girl to go into action."
"Yeah, except that, as we're going to switch her next we don't want her or the bald boy knowing about the switching thing yet." Birchwood said.
"Come on!" Holly said impatiently. "I don't want to miss this!"
With that the fairies flew after Numbuh 86.
"So Numbuh 86 I was wondering." Numbuh 60 asked as they left the tree house.
"What?" Numbuh 2 asked.
He was mortified beyond believe. He was on a date with a BOY for Pete's sake. Pretending to be the girl he had a crush on.
"Can I call you Fanny?" Numbuh 60 asked. Numbuh 2 stiffened but then remembered what Numbuh 86 would do to him if he wasn't nice.
"Um sure if you like." He said biting his lip.
"Great. You know your cousin Carrie? Well she's doing great. You two are defiantly related. She might make it to a job at Moon Base." Numbuh 60 said smiling.
"Great!" Numbuh 2 said and he meant it. Carrie would be a great operative.
"She talks about you a lot." Numbuh 60 continued.
Numbuh 2 merely smiled.
"Here we are." Numbuh 60 said as they reached the candy shop.
Numbuh 2 opened the door and as they stepped in the smell of chocolate and candy immediately filled their noses. It was comforting and nice and made you want to sink your teeth into some sweet confection.
"Hey look." Numbuh 60 said jerking Numbuh 2 out of his candy filled thoughts. "Isn't that Numbuh 1? But who's he with?"
Numbuh 2 looked up and sure enough there was his leader buying candy with... Numbuh 2 shuddered...Lizzie Devine.
"That's Numbuh 1's girlfriend, Lizzie." Numbuh 2 said in disgust.
"You don't like her?" Numbuh 60 asked in amazement. "I can't imagine Numbuh 1 choosing a bad girlfriend."
"She's to clingy AND she messes up missions AND she always screams the tree house down if Numbuh 1 has to cancel a date. It's not pretty."
"Let's go say hi." Numbuh 60 said.
"Ok." Numbuh 2 said.
"Hey Numbuh 1!" He called.
Numbuh 1 looked up and smiled. Numbuh 2 frowned as Lizzie and Numbuh 1 started walking over to them. Did he just see relief cross his leader's face?
"Hi guys." Numbuh 1 said. "What are you doing here?"
"They're on a date Nigie." Lizzie cooed. "Just like us."
Now Numbuh 2 was sure he didn't imagine it. Numbuh 1 actually shuddered when Lizzie said, 'Nigie'.
"It's not a date." Numbuh 60 said. "Fanny and I are just friends."
Numbuh 2 smiled and nodded.
"Oh. Do you want to go to the park with us?" Numbuh 1 asked and Numbuh 2 thought he heard some desperation in his voice.
"Sure." He said quickly. "Let's get some candy and then we can go."
He walked right past the caramels, he hadn't liked them ever since the Heinrich...er that is the Henrietta Von Marzipan incident, and went to the chocolate.
"Why'd you say that?" Numbuh 60 asked, not angrily just curiously.
"Numbuh 1 doesn't want to be left alone with Lizzie." Numbuh 2 responded. "I said it to be nice."
Numbuh 60 nodded.
"You want some caramel?" He asked.
"NO! Er I mean... I don't really like caramel." Numbuh 2 said quickly.
The four teens made their purchases and left the shop. They had just entered the park down the street when a boy with aviator's goggles reached the candy shop.
Numbuh 86 looked into the shop panting.
"Crud." She gasped. "I missed them. Where could they have gone?"
She looked around a bit and then spotted a kid licking a lollypop.
"Hey kid! Did you see a boy with black hair and a girl with blood red hair go past?" She asked.
The little boy nodded and pointed in the direction of the park.
"Thanks!" Numbuh 86 said before starting to run again.
"This is getting good." Holly said smirking.
"Yeah, I can't wait to see what she does when she sees the boy." Birchwood snickered.
Cupid just smiled.
