Operation: HANDCUFFS
Chapter Seven: A hot day
As Numbuhs 2, 3 and 4 packed all their stuff, they came to the living room. When they were all ready they headed for the hangar and left the treehouse, leaving Numbuh 1 and Numbuh 5 alone. It seemed that with every minute it was more and more hot. The air was becoming hotter, and it was even hard to breathe. Numbuhs 1 and 5 didn't get too far away from the freezer, if it wasn't very necessery. Numbuh 5 brought her discman and was listening to the music, while Numbuh 1 was watching the little TV that they had in the kitchen. When Numbuh 5 got bored with listening the music, she took off the headphones and reached for her magazine. When she had drunk her juice, she reached out and poured herself more.
"Numbuh 1, can ya pass Numbuh 5 the ice?" she said as she looked at him tiredly and took her hat off. Numbuh 1 reached out to the freezer and took out a few lumps of ice. He passed them to Numbuh 5, his eyes stuck in TV. Numbuh 5 threw the ice into her glass, but it was too many of them so she held one in her hand. It slowly started to melt, she thought it felt very nice when a few drops of cold water was slidding down her hand. She put the ice against her one cheek. As the ice was slowly turning into water, a small drop of water slid down her cheek, then she put the ice against the other cheek. She closed her eyes when a few drops of water slid down her cheek. She let the cool feeling sweep her. She moved the ice slowly to her neck. The water slid down her neck and underneath her T-shirt.
"Ah...it feels soo nice..." she said slowly and sighed, her eyes still closed. Numbuh 1 looked at her with astonishment, and a slight blush appeared on his cheeks when he saw the water sliding down her neck. The drops of water wandering her dark skin to underneath her blue T-shirt. That scared him a little so he shook his head.
"W-what are you doing Numbuh 5?" he asked nervously. She opened her eyes and looked at him.
"It's so hot, that Numbuh 5 can barely stand it, and the ice is so cold, so it feels nice when ya put it against your skin" she said calmly as usual, though she was breathing rather hardly "Here, try it yourself" she said as she passed him the lump of ice. Numbuh 1 took it from her and put it against his cheek. It was really cold, but because of the heat it felt really nice to feel the cold water on the skin. Numbuh 1 smiled.
"Yeah, you're right Numbuh 5" he said, and then licked the ice. Numbuh 5 finished her juice and poured herself some soda. Then she got up and opened the freezer, she took out some ice and put it into a small bowl. As it melted a little she put her fingers of her left hand into it. Numbuh 1 was staring at the TV again. When Numbuh 5 took out her fingers, wather was dripping down. She looked at Numbuh 1 and noticed that he was comletely absorbed in the TV, so she flicked the water from her fingers at his face. Numbuh 1 shut his eyes automaticly when the drops of water hit him, and he flinched a little. Numbuh 5 laughed.
"Ah...what're you doing Numbuh 5?" Numbuh 1 asked tiredly as he wiped his face.
"Nothin'...Numbuh 5 just thought that a little bit of cold rain would do ya good" she answered with a smile. Numbuh 1 wiped his sunglasses and looked at her.
"Oh really?" he said in a bit suspicious tone, and smiled strangely. Numbuh 5 gave him an astonished look. Numbuh 1 put his free hand into the bowl and flicked the water at her face. Numbuh 5 covered her face with her left hand but the water hit it anyway.
"And how was it?" Numbuh 1 asked smiling. Numbuh 5 wipped her face and looked at him a bit surprised that he did that. Numbuh 1 laughed. She watched him and then smiled evily. She picked up her glass with soda. Because Numbuh 1 was laughing, he didn't notice that, he noticed only when she got up from her seat "Hm?" he looked at her with astonishment, then he realised what was going on and his eyes widened. But now it was too late, and so the whole soda from Numbuh 5's glass landed on his head. He shut his eyes and opened them when all of the soda flowed down. He made a surprised face. Numbuh 5 started laughing, his red sweater was wet on shoulders and even his shorts were wet.
"Now THAT was refreshing!" Numbuh 5 said and laughed again. Numbuh 1 looked at her angirly.
"What was that for!" he asked as he stood up to face her. Numbuh 5 looked at him with a smile.
"Nothin'...what? Don't ya feel more brisky now?" she asked still smiling and then laughed. Numbuh 1 smiled calmly.
"Yeah... I do..." he said looking at her with a smile. Numbuh 5 was laughing and didn't notice his right hand moving on the table, until it reached the bowl, where the whole ice melted down already "Wanna try it yourself?" he asked and Numbuh 5 looked at him with astonishment. That's when the cold water from the bowl flowed down her head. She shut her eyes and clenched her fists. When she opened her eyes she saw Numbuh 1 looking at her with smile. She calmed herself a little.
"Yeah...That really was refreashing" she said and smiled a little "But...You're soo dead now!" she added as her smile turned into anger. Numbuh 1 made a scared face and then was felled to the floor.
"Uh, N-No! Numbuh 5, please! Don't!" he screamed and then burst out laughing when she started tickling him. He was tossing a bit on the floor, but couldn't set free, cause she was sitting on his legs. After a while of loud laugher, he felt like he was gonna laugh himself to death "Ok! I give up! GIVE UP!" he screamed under his laugher. Numbuh 5 smiled and stopped tickling him. Then she got off him and helped him get up. As they were standing Numbuh 1 looked at her tiredly.
"Hehe, ya lost" Numbuh 5 said with a smile and sat down.
"But you agreed that it was refreashing..." Numbuh 1 said in pretentious tone.
"Yeah, but anyway...Numbuh 5's hair is wet now, and...Numbuh 5 just couldn't resist" she said smiling.
"Uh...now I feel even more hot..." he said tiredly and sighed.
"Ya know... Numbuh 5 just remembered somethin'..." Numbuh 5 said as she put her left hand against her chin. Numbuh 1 looked at her curiosly "Numbuh 5 has in her room a small windmill" she continued. Numbuh 1 smiled.
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's bring it" he said smiling, Numbuh 5 nodded and they headed for her room.
In the meantime Numbuhs 2, 3 and 4 enjoyed their day on the beach. Numbuh 3 was bulding a sand castle, Numbuh 4 buried himself in the sand, and Numbuh 2 was swimming in the see.
"That's a pity Numbuh 1 and Numbuh 5 couldn't come with us..." Numbuh 3 said sadly as she had finished her sand castle "They surely must be having a hard time, sitting at the treehouse in this heat" she continued. Numbuh 4, who was buried in the sand next to her turned to look at her.
"Ah, don' worry Numbuh 3, it can' be tha' bad, Ah'm sure they're havin' a good time" he said smiling.
"Yeah! Besides I don't really think Numbuh 1 would enjoy the day on the beach" Numbuh 2 said as he got out of the water. Numbuh 3 giggled.
"Yeah, you're right" she said with a smile "But Numbuh 5 likes beach, and she surely would like to spend the day on the here" she continued.
"Yeah, but she had no choise, they can't go out like that you know" Numbuh 2 said "That's why she didn't argue about it".
"Haha! And maybe they jus' wanted to stay alone! Hahaha!" Numbuh 4 said laughing "Ya know, lately they spend a lot of time togetha'! Who knows what they're doin'!" he added and looked at Numbuh 2 strangely, and they both burst out laughing.
"That's right! Haha! Especially that they're now closer than before! Hahaha! All the time!" Numbuh 2 said under his laugher.
"What are you guys talking about?" Numbuh 3 asked with rather angry expression on her face.
"Well, anyway, you shouldn't worry about them too much" Numbuh 2 said when he controlled himself. Numbuh 3 smiled and nodded, then got back to her castle.
At the treehouse Numbuh 1 and Numbuh 5 brought the small windmill to the kitchen, they sat at the table again and watched the TV, drinking water with ice. They set the windmill on the table just in front of them, so it blew into their faces. Numbuh 5 closed her eyes and enjoyed the nice cold wind the windmill made. Numbuh 1 was watching some program about cooking, witch Numbuh 5 found enough boring to not pay attention on it. The day was passing incredibly slowly, al least that's how it seemed to them. It was already afternoon, the air was really sticky. Numbuh 5 sighed and reached to the freezer for some ice. Then she started licking it, because, as she thought, it wasn't enough for her to put it into the water and drink it anymore. As she licked the lump of ice, it slowly started to melt in her fingers and after a while the water sterted to flow down her hand. Numbuh 1 looked at her and a strange feeling engulfed him. His cheeks became hot and strange thoughts started to flood into his head again. Numbuh 5 didn't see his expression cause her eyes were closed. Numbuh 1 quickly shook his head and calmed down.
"Um, Numbuh 5?" he said a bit perplexed. She opened her eyes and looked at him with astonishment.
"Huh?" she asked with the lump of ice still in her mounth.
"Could you...stop doing that?" Numbuh 1 said with confusion.
"Doin' what?" Numbuh 5 asked licking the ice, with curiosity in her eyes.
"L-Licking...that ice..." he said with perplexity, and a slight blush appeared on his cheeks.
"Why?" she asked curiosly. Numbuh 1 felt totally perplexed, and his cheeks turned more red, but still not that much to make Numbuh 5 care about it. She just thought it's because it's hot.
"B-Because...uh...I...it..." Numbuh 1 tried to think of some reasone, but nothing came to his mind, he didn't even know why himself, with every word he felt more nervous. Numbuh 5 looked at him confused "...Um...Because...it makes m-" he was trying to explain, but was suddenly interrupted by a niosy sound of opening door, and then they heard Numbuh 3's singsong voice.
"Hiii guys!" Numbuh 3 exclaimed when she bounced into the room, and Numbuhs 2 and 4 right behind her.
"Hey!" Numbuh 5 said with a smile. Numbuh 1 gave the sigh of relief and turned to the door.
"Hi, h-how was your day?" he asked, happy that they saved him from the complicated situation.
"Oh! It was soo cool! We had a lot of fun!" Numbuh 3 said happily "And what about you guys?" she asked.
"Well, it was very hot...but we survived, right?" Numbuh 5 said and turned to Numbuh 1 with smile.
"Yeah, well, it's still quite hot, and the air is sticky, but it's not that bad anymore" he answered, and Numbuh 5 nodded.
"I feel so sorry for you guys, that you must've stayed in here on such a hot day" Numbuh 3 said as she put her hands together, and made a sad face.
"It's ok, it really wasn't that bad" Numbuh 1 said.
"Sure! We have a lot of ice in the freezer" Numbuh 5 agreed.
"Sure! Just like it isn't that bad to sleep in one bed!" Numbuh 4 said and looked at Numbuh 2, and they both burst out laughing.
"What're ya talking 'bout Numbuh 4!" Numbuh 5 asked angirly as she put her free hand on her waist.
"Haha!He meant..haha...that maybe you just pretend this indifference, but you really enjoy being fasten to eachother! Hahaha!" Numbuh 2 said under his laugher.
"What!" Numbuhs 1 and 5 exclaimed.
"Ya got completely creazy! Perhaps this heat harmed your brain?" Numbuh 5 said angirly.
"Yeah! You guys really should be TREATED!" Numbuh 1 said also angirly "How could we enjoy this?". But the two boys didn't stop laughing.
"Yeah, right, heheh, say wha' ya want" Numbuh 4 said as a tear slid dow his cheek from laugher.
"Uh!" Numbuh 5 slapped her forehead in annoyence. Numbuh 2 couldn't stop his laugher.
"Ok, I'm really sick of this... Can you guys stop laughing already! There's really nothing funny in that!" Numbuh 1 said. Numbuh 3 giggled.
"Yes there is" she said and giggled again.
"But not for us!" Numbuhs 1 and 5 said irritated, looking at her angirly.
"Ok, whateva" Numbuh 4 said when he controlled himself.
"And you Numbuh 2, would better go and check how the computer is working" Numbuh 1 said. Numbuh 2 controlled his laugher as well and turned to look at his friend.
"Ok, but I told you that it won't be faster than 5 days" he said still smiling and headded for his room.
"Yeah! And Ah'm gonna watch some TV now!" Numbuh 4 said and run towards the couch in the living room.
"Wait for me Numbuh 4!" Numbuh 3 said happily and run after him.
"Uh...how can they be so full of life on such a hot day?" Numbuh 1 said tiredly.
"Because it wasn't that hot for them, they could swim in the sea, and we can't even take a cold shower..." Numbuh 5 said looking at him lifelessly "Uh...Numbuh 5's all sticky..." she added in pretentious tone. Numbuh 1 looked at her helplessly.
"At least we have the ice..." he said and passed her the glass with soda and ice "Right?" he smiled trying to cheer her up.
"Yeah..." she said and took the glass from him "And a windmill" she added with a smile. The rest of the day passed calmly. As the evening came, it became a little colder, but the air was still a bit sticky. All of the windows at the treehouse were opened, so the light breeze was coming into every room. As all the kids at the treehouse became tired, they decided to go to sleep. Numbuhs 2, 3 and 4 headed for their rooms lazily, and Numbhs 1 and 5 prepared the couch to sleep. When they had brought their bedclothes they sat on their bed in silence.
Numbuh 5 looked outside the window, Numbuh 1 looked at her couriosly.
"What are you thinking about Numbuh 5?" he asked subtly. Numbuh 5 turned to look at him.
"Um...Numbuh 5 was thinking...um, could we go upstairs on the patio and watch the stars for a while?" she asked and Numbuh 1 smiled warmly.
"Sure" he said and got up from the bed, he knew she loved watching stars "Let's go" he added with warm smile. Numbuh 5 got up as well and smiled in response, and they headed for the patio on the top of the treehouse.
