Chapter 5

Snowflorinia:

Without second thought (A/N: I'm not surprised.), Numbuh 4 dove into the icy water and immediately began thrashing around. (A/N: That's fail, Numbuh 4. Epic fail.) He half-swam, half-flailed towards Numbuh 3, and a moment later they were both sitting in the snow, coughing and sneezing. Both operatives weren't sure how'd they gotten up; all they remembered was sinking, then being hauled towards the surface.

"Are you alright?" Numbuh 4 asked.

"Y-yeah," Numbuh 3 replied, trembling from the cold. "Just…a li-little c-cold."

Numbuh 4 took off his sweatshirt (A/N: Let's pretend he has a shirt underneath.) and thrust it in front of Numbuh 3. She looked at him with surprise.

"B-but Wally…you'll freeze!"

"Either way, one of us is gonna freeze." He stubbornly held the hoodie in front of her, shivering.

"But—"

"Just take it!" Numbuh 4 said loudly, shoving it at her. Numbuh 3 wrapped the wet hoodie around her without another word. After walking a long time in awkward silence, Numbuh 3 piped up.

"Uh, Numbuh 4?"

"Yeah?"

"Do you hear that rumbling noise?"

Numbuh 4 paused. "Yeah…where's it coming from?"

They both realized too late that it was an avalanche starting on the cliff above them! The operatives leapt separate ways, and the last thing Numbuh 4 remembered was being enveloped in the freezing snow.

"Where am I?" Numbuh 4 blinked and looked around. He realized he was sitting in a faded blue armchair beside a fire. The room he was in was small, with only a table in the middle and a wooden chair next to it. A door stood opposite to the fireplace to the right of him, and a different door-less doorway was located next to the fireplace. The walls appeared to be made out of snow. On the wall opposite from Numbuh 4 was a window, but it was round like a porthole.

"Oh, good, you're awake." An alien stepped out from the doorway without a door. Instead of skin, a thin layer of white fur covered the alien's body, so that he looked kind of like a polar bear standing on two legs. Despite his fur, the alien also wore a dark blue parka and matching ski pants. On top of his head was a H.A.T., just like Numbuh 257C's. In his hands, which only had four fingers, he was holding a tray with a mug of something on top.

"Who the crud are you?" Numbuh 4 queried, a little rudely.

"My real name's Isaac, but everyone calls me Numbuh 6633." Numbuh 4 relaxed a little, knowing he was in the presence of a Kids Next Door operative. Isaac sat down at the table.

"I can't believe you're still alive," Numbuh 6633 continued. "How'd you survive out there wearing only a T-shirt?"

"I gave my sweatshirt to Numbuh 3…" Numbuh 4 suddenly realized Numbuh 3 was nowhere to be seen. "Kuki! Where is she? Did you find her?"

"Chillax! I didn't find her, but the rest of my sector is out searching for other surviving operatives." Numbuh 6633 paused to take of sip of whatever was in his mug. "You're part of the Kids Next Door?"

"Yeah. My codename's Numbuh 4."

Numbuh 6633 took another sip and looked out the window with a mischievous glint in his eyes. "So, you must really like this Numbuh 3 girl, to give your jacket to her in this weather." (A/N: OMFG. Even an alien Numbuh 4's never even met before knows his crush on Numbuh 3. xD)

Numbuh 4 turned beet red. "Ugh! Why does everyone say that? I don't like cruddy girls, and I never will!"

"Dude, chill! I'm just joking!" Numbuh 6633 said, but his mischievous grin didn't leave his face.

On the other side of the planet:

"Oh, come on! Where the heck is Numbuh 1?" Numbuh 5 exclaimed, frustrated.

"I know, right? It's snow cold!" Numbuh 2 burst out laughing. "Get it? I said snow instead of so!"

Numbuh 5 facepalmed. "If Numbuh 5 wasn't freezing her limbs off, she would've smacked you with her hat already," she mumbled.

Eventually, Numbuh 2's laughter subsided, and the two were trudging around in the cold again.

"This is hopeless!" Numbuh 5 groaned. "Maybe we should just go back and find Numbuhs 3 and 4."

"Wait, Numbuh 5! I see something!" said Numbuh 2, who was ahead of Numbuh 5 and on top of a cliff. Numbuh 5 ran up beside him.

"It looks kind of like a village," Numbuh 5 commented, squinting. She accidentally leaned too far, and almost fell, if Numbuh 2 hadn't grabbed onto her hand. He pulled her up. When they realized their hands were still connected, they both dropped them quickly. If it hadn't been zero degrees below, both operatives would've been blushing.

"Uh…how are we gonna get down this cliff?" Numbuh 2 asked, still embarrassed by the small incident.

"I think there's some rope back in the ship," Numbuh 5 replied, already running down the hill.

Moonbase:

"This is embarrassing," Numbuh 60 said out loud, to no one in particular. Numbuh 86 took no notice and was busy trying to get out of the armchair, while muttering "stupid" now and then. Suddenly, there was a knock at the door.

Numbuh 35's voice floated through the door. "Supreme Leaders, sirs! There's an emer—"

"DON'T COME IN!" both operatives yelled at the same time. The doorknob stopped turning.

"Um, okay? Well, Sector R is under attack by the Queen Tie, and is requesting backup!"

"Send Sector U," Numbuh 60 blurted out, saying the first sector that popped into his head.

"Right away, sir!" Numbuh 35's footsteps faded away, and both operatives breathed a sigh of relief.

"That was too close," Numbuh 86 said.

"Agreed." Numbuh 60 paused. "I can't believe I just said that." He sighed. "If I don't get out of this chair soon, I'm going to go crazy."

"Well, I think there's a M.U.S.K.E.T. in my pocket," Numbuh 86 said. "See if you can reach it."

Numbuh 60 grabbed the handle of the M.U.S.K.E.T. and aimed it at the armrests of the chair. "Forgive me, Numbuh 362," he said, and pressed the trigger.

Snowflorinia:

Numbuhs 2 and 5 had gotten the rope and climbed down the side of the cliff. They were just walking into the hamlet that they had seen earlier.

"What kind of people could survive on a planet like this?" Numbuh 2 wondered aloud.

Numbuh 5 was about to answer when they saw Numbuh 4 running up to them. "Numbuh 4! What are you doing here? And where's Numbuh 3 and your jacket?"

"I kind of lost Numbuh 3 and she has my jacket. But Numbuh 6633 found Numbuh 1! Now we just need to find Numbuh 3 and get out of this cruddy place!" Numbuh 4 began running out of the village.

"Numbuh 4! Who's Numbuh 6633?" Numbuh 5 yelled after him, but Numbuh 4 was too impatient.

"Come on! Follow me!" he yelled back, then disappeared over a hill. Numbuhs 2 and 5 had no choice but to follow.

-Transmission Interrupted-


A/N: :O They've found Numbuh 1!

As for the 60/86 part, I know there's not much mushy stuff, but they're getting along...that's a start. :P

Rachel: Hey! Where have I been all this time?

Me: Oh, uh, yeah...we'll get to you in the next chapter.

Rachel: Ugh...
