Operation: HANDCUFFS

Chapter Nine: funny, or not?

Numbuh 1 was thinking about the game they could play, but nothing came to his mind. After a while of watching him Numbuh 5 turned to the window. The rain was falling stronger with every moment. She noticed that it was falling into the room, she turned to Numbuh 1, who was still deeply in thoughts.

"Um, ya know, Numbuh 5's suggesting that we should first close all the windows at the treehouse" she said, that catched Numbuh 1's attention and he looked at her.

"Hm?" he looked at her a bit disorientated, then looked at the window and understood what she meant "Oh, yes, you're right" he said, then turned his sight back to her "Let's do that first" he added. Numbuh 5 smiled in response. They got up from the bed and put their slippers on. They closed all the windows that were open at the treehouse, and then got back to the living room. They could hear the rain hiting the windowsill, and the thunders clapping. They sat on the bed again and started to listen to all of the sounds from outside. There was a while of silence before Numbuh 1 spoke:

"Um..." he started and Numbuh 5 turned to look at him "So what would you say for plaing cards?" he asked and Numbuh 5 smiled.

"It's okey with me" she said smiling "But where are the cards?" she asked.

"Ummm...I think my pack of cards should be somewhere in the kitchen..." Numbuh 1 answered.

"Then let's go get it" Numbuh 5 said and got up from the bed. Numbuh 1 did the same and they went to look for the cards. As they found the pack of the cards, they got back to the living room again. They played for quite a long time in every game they knew. The storm continued, the lightnings were striking and thunders clapping very loud. Finally they got bored with all the games, and they felt tired. The storm was slowly fading. Numbuh 5 yawned.

"Uh...Numbuh 5 feels very tired now..." she said rubbing her eyes. Numbuh 1 yawned as well.

"Yeah...me too" he said and yawned again "So perhaps we'd try to fall asleep now?" he added and looked at Numbuh 5 curiosly.

"Yeah...I think it's a good idea..." she said and cleared up all her cards. Numbuh 1 did the same, then reached out his hand to Numbuh 5. She gave him her cards and he put them away. Then they both lay down and covered themselves with the quilts. "Goodnight Numbuh 1" Numbuh 5 said with tired voice as she turned to her left side.

"Goodnight Numbuh 5" Numbuh 1 replied also tiredly and put his head on the pillow. They both fell asleep very fast. They were to tired to even think about the situation they were in. They also didn't look at the clock, to check what time was. There were still lightnings seen on the horizon, but it didn't bother them this time. They both were deeply in sleep phase and nothing was able to wake them up.
The next morning Numbuh 2 and Numbuh 4 entered the kitchen yawning. When Numbuh 2 opened his eyes and looked around the kitchen he made a surprised face.

"Huh?" he made a sound of surprisement, which caught numbuh 4's attention.

"Hm? Wha' is et Numbuh 2?" he asked when he saw his face. Then he also looked around the kitchen, but he didn't notice anything so surprising.

"There's noone here..." Numbuh 2 said.

"So wha'?" Numbuh 4 asked turning to him with astonishment.

"Well...normally Numbuh 1 and Numbuh 5 were here already when we were coming in..."

"Soo?" Numbuh 4 didn't understand his surprisement.

"It's strange..." Numbuh 2 said turning to his friend.

"Well...maybeh they're in tha livin' room? Watchin' TV or somethin'..." Numbuh 4 said simply.

"But I can't hear the TV" Numbuh 2 said and Numbuh 4 made an astonished face, when he noticed that it was truth. Suddenly Numbuh 3 peeked through the door, that are leading to the living room.Two boys looked at her very surprised. They didn't know she was up already. She smiled cutely in their direction.

"I thought I heard you guys are here " she said quietly "So I came to check" she added. Then she giggled "Come on guys, I'll show you something" she said and went back to the living room. Numbuhs 2 and 4 exchanged astonished looks and followed her slowly. They saw Numbuh 3 leaning on the back of the couch.

"Wha' is et Numbuh 3?" Numbuh 4 asked, as they were approaching the couch.

"Shhh" Numbuh 3 hushed him, putting her index finger on her lips "You're gonna wake them up..." she said quietly.

"Huh?" Numbuhs 2 and 4 didn't know what she was talking about, but they were so curious that they didn't say anything more and hurried to the couch. Numbuh 3 looked down above the back of the couch and the two boys did the same. What they saw schocked them at first. Numbuh 1 and Numbuh 5 were still sleeping. Though the way they were lying in the bed made thet two boys giggle. Numbuh 1 was lying on his left side, and numbuh 5 on her right side, but a bit more on her belly. Their faces were very close to eachother, but Numbuh 5's head was lower than Numbuh 1's. His lips were level with her forehead. They both were sleeping very peacefully.

"Ah...they look soo cute" Numbuh3 said dreamly, and boys couldn't hold their laughter any longer, they burst out laughing. Numbuh 3 made a scared face "No, guys, don't" she said keeping her voice low.

Numbuh 1 and Numbuh 5 were deep in their dream phase, but after a while the loud laughter reached Numbuh 5's sleepy mind. With every moment she could hear the voices more and more clearly, as she slowly started to come back to reality "Guys! You'll wake them up! Stop it!" she could hear the voice that seemed to be Numbuh 3's. She slowly tried to open her eyes. As they finally opened tiredly, and the mist disappeared, the only thing she could see was red. As she looked more closely she could see it was a material. She slowly rised her sight and saw Numbuh 1's face, dangerously close to hers. Her cheeks became crimson and her heart skipped so much that it almoust jumped out of her chest. She moved away from him as fast as she could, then she looked up, only to see Numbuh 3 stooped down over her giggling, and Numbuhs 2 and 4 laughing loudly. At first she felt completely confused, but after a second all the thoughts sank in and she felt very embarrassed. She looked at Numbuh 1 and at this same moment he opened his eyes. Their sights met and they both blushed, then turned their sights to the laughing kids. Then Numbuh 1 understood the whole situation.

"Ah! What's the whole noise about!" he asked a bit angirly and annoyed. Numbuh 3 giggled and looked at him. Numbuhs 2 and 4 quiet their laughter for a while.

"You look very cute when you're sleeping, you know" she said smiling innocently. The two boys burst out laughing again. They fell on the floor and started wallow. Numbuh 3 looked at them and giggled.

"What are you talking about Numbuh 3!" Numbuh 1 said annoyed "You guys woke us up with your laughter!" he yelled.

"Yeah! Why won't ya let us sleep!" Numbuh 5 said angirly, then sat up on the bed. She noticed her hat was gone, she started to look around. It was lying on the edge of her pillow. She reached out for it and put it on her head, to hide her blushing cheeks.

"Hehehe, sorry" Numbuh 2 said, when he got up trying to catch his breath "We just could't stop it" he added.

"Yeah, weh didn't want ta wake ya up" Numbuh 4 said when he got up as well.

"Eh...forget it..." Numbuh 1 said tiredly, and sat up. Then he yawned "Now if you'll excuse us...we need to go to the bathroom" he said and Numbuh 5 nodded yawning.

"Uh...Numbuh 5 wish she could sleep for a while yet..." she said and streached.

"Yeah...me too..." Numbuh 1 said and moved to the edge of the bed. Numbuhs 2 and 4 giggled.

"Then we'll go and eat some breakfast" Numbuh 2 said and they turned to the kitchen. Numbuh 3 followed them "Wonder what they were doing at night that they're so tired now" Numbuh 2 whispered to Numbuh 4 as they were walking towards the door. Numbuh 4 giggleed.

"Yeah" he whispered back. Numbuh 3 watched them with confuesd face, because she couldn't hear what they were talking about. Numbuhs 1 and 5 went to the bathroom tiredly. Numbuh 5 was still blushing, and her heart beat faster when she remembered how close Numbuh 1's face was to hers. Who knows, perhaps if they slept longer they would tangle somehow, that would more embarrassing. That was very confusing, though as she thought about it she felt that she liked spending so much time with Numbuh 1. Even if in some situations it was embarrassing. But she didn't know that Numbuh 1 felt exackly the same way.
