Author's Note: Hey guys, sorry I haven't updated in a while. I was going to update yesterday, blame my music teacher. He gave me homework due in tomorrow, I spend half of yesterday evening and have just finished. I used to love music now hate it with a passion.
Anyway, away with my life stories, on with the story. Thanks for reviewing guys :-)
Day 3: Slamming doors
"That cruddy baby kept me awake again!" Wally groaned groggily.
Abby leaned back on the couch. "Numbuh 5 only got like two hours sleep."
"Me too." Hoagie sighed.
"Something has to be done about this, we can't be members of the KND and full working parents." Nigel complained.
Abby squinted her eyes at him. "You haven't done anything! It's Numbuh 3 who's been doing all the work. Numbuh 5 says we can get over it."
Kuki mumbled as she brought Tyson into the kitchen. Her eyes were half closed and red.
"You look tired girl." Abby gave a small smile.
Kuki muttered. Sitting Tyson in Bradley's baby chair on the table. She then walked over to the cupboard and pulled out some baby food from the cupboard. Opening the packet she sat down and began to spoon feed the child.
"How much longer is it until your neighbour gets back Numbuh 3?" Hoagie asked.
Kuki gave a yawn as she thought. "um, 4 days."
Nigel gave an irritated growl. "Numbuh 3, you're barely awake! If we have a mission today how are you going to be..."
A flashing light on the ceiling and the drill of an alarm made them all charge to the transmission screen. Kuki hung back to pick up Tyson, then power walked to join them.
"...So King Sandy's trying to 'invade' a part of the beach a few miles from his beach house. We need you guys to get down there and stop him as soon as possible." The chubby boy with the colander on his head informed them.
Nigel nodded. "We'll go right away Numbuh 65.5."
The screen went off and Nigel turned around.
"Well, you heard him team. To the C.O.O.L.B.U.S."
The kids cheered and ran to their transport. They sat chattering excitedly and prepared to go, until Numbuh four pointed out one thing.
"Hey. We haven't got Numbuh 3!"
The kids glanced around, sure enough, Kuki wasn't aboard.
Nigel sighed. "Numbuh 4, will you go and get her? I'm at the end of my tether with this."
Wally hopped out of his chair, just as he reached the door of the C.O.O.L.B.U.S. Kuki appeared with Tyson in one arm and dragging a huge gym bag with the other.
"Where have you been Numbuh 3?" Nigel snapped.
Kuki shrugged, strapping Tyson into the baby chair.
"I just had a little packing to do...I packed my swim suit and Tyson's swim suit and spare diapers, and Tyson's food and..."
Nigel groaned. "Let's just go Numbuh 2, before she realises she's forgotten something."
They sped off and soon arrived at the beach.
When they landed, they soon found Sandy marching his cousins down the beach.
"Sandy!" Nigel yelled. "Get back onto your own territory!"
"Oh not you guys again! This isn't your battle!" Sandy yelled.
Nigel and the team formed a barrier on the sand. Nigel frowned. "We're making it our battle! This beach doesn't only belong to you!"
"Knights! Attack!" Sandy screamed.
His four knights ran towards the five kids. Kuki gasped and placed Tyson on the ground behind her.
"Here you go Tyson, play here while I fight the nasty bad guys." She gooed.
"Numbuh 3!" Nigel shouted dodging the swing of a knights spade as he glared in Kuki's direction.
Kuki sighed and handed Tyson a bucket full of sand toys.
"I'll be right back." She smiled.
"Hey! Nice to know you've brought something useful!" Wally said as he ran over to them, snatching a spade from Tyson's hand. Tyson sniffled and began to throw a tantrum.
"Wally!" Kuki scolded.
Abby copied Wally, grabbing a mini rake. "Great idea Numbuh 4!"
"Numbuh 5!" Kuki squeaked.
"Sorry Numbuh 3!" Hoagie said, running past and grabbing another spade as the knight ran after him.
Kuki frowned and knelt down next to Tyson. "There there, it's okay...they'll give them back..."
"Numbuh 3! Will you stop fussing over the baby and help us out!" Nigel screamed, grabbing the bucket and swinging it across the knights head.
Kuki rolled her eyes.
"Well, milady!" Sandy smirked, appearing next to her.
Kuki glared up at him and stood up. "Sandy!"
"Is the fair lady babysitting on her mission?" Sandy mused.
"Go away Sandy!" Kuki gritted her teeth.
"I only want to see him." Sandy smirked, reaching to pick Tyson up.
Kuki pushed him away. Sandy glared at her and pushed her back. Kuki went red with rage and dived at him. She knocked him to the ground and the two wrestled on the floor.
Sandy chuckled to himself. "Well this is far from ladylike."
"How would you know you stupid...pretend...king!" Kuki grunted as they rolled around on the floor.
Sandy flipped her over and growled. "The king does not pretend!"
He pushed her aside and ran towards Tyson. Kuki shouted but Sandy continued to run.
He bent down to pick up Tyson but was met by a fist in his face. Sandy fell back, he held his jaw and stared in front of him. Wally had gotten to Tyson first and was now stood in front of him with his spade pointed in Sandy's direction.
Tyson was wailing in fright. Kuki got up and scampered behind Wally. Scooping Tyson up and holding him close to comfort him.
"Back off Princey!" Wally spat.
Sandy glared at him and looked back to see that his knights had retreated. The KND were now beginning to gather around and get ready to gang up on him.
Sandy stared back at Wally with eyes of stone. "You win this time knave!"
With that, Sandy ran off after his cousins.
The team silently began to walk to the C.O.O.L.B.U.S, this had not been an easy mission.
Kuki glared at Wally as she stormed past him.
"Oh your welcome." Wally muttered.
Kuki spun around and glared daggers at Wally.
"What? Am I supposed to thank you?" She squabbled. "If you hadn't have taken Tyson's spades then I wouldn't have had to look after Tyson instead of fight!"
Wally tutted and shrugged. He followed her as she stormed towards the transport.
"Hey, if I hadn't have used the spade then Sandy would have taken that stupid baby cause I'd be too busy fighting with the knights...!"
Kuki ignored him and climbed aboard the bus silently. Strapping Tyson in and blanking Wally out as he lectured her.
"You did slow us down bringing the baby Numbuh 3!" Nigel scolded.
Kuki sat with a frown as she listened to Wally and Nigel on her tail. A tear slowly came to her eyes.
"That's enough!" Abby yelled as they landed at the treehouse.
The door opened and Kuki leapt up, grabbing Tyson's chair and rushed out. The others followed her slowly.
"Well Numbuh 5 hopes your proud of yourselves!" Abby snapped at Wally and Nigel. "That girl is trying her best to please you and take care of that kid at the same time. If you guys helped out a little more then she'd be able to do what you want Numbuh 1!"
Nigel ignored her, he was too proud to be sorry. Slowly, he went to his room.
Abby sighed and collapsed on the couch. She looked up at Wally.
"Numbuh 5 knows you're trying to be nice Numbuh 4. But don't be that hot headed with numbuh 3. You don't know how much she wants your help." She said.
Wally sighed and walked into the corridor. He walked past Kuki's room. Hearing a sob he stared in and saw Kuki sat on her bed. Tyson was sat in his chair next to her. Kuki sat sobbing as she waved Tyson's toy in front of him.
"Come on Tyson, I'm tired...you need to sleep." Kuki muttered. "You don't know how hard it is taking care of you and following Numbuh 1's orders at the same time."
Wally rested against the wall and sighed. Man...now he felt bad.
He walked in.
"...Hey." he said quietly.
Kuki looked up and then back at Tyson.
Wally sat down next to her.
"...Sorry." He muttered. "Maybe I shouldn't have grabbed the kids spade."
Kuki sighed and looked up at Wally. Giving a small smile.
"Me too, thanks for saving Tyson. I should have said thanks then."
Wally smiled. He gave a sigh and looked down at Tyson.
"Hey buddy!" He grinned. "Aren't you tired yet? Want to play earthquakes?"
Kuki raised an eyebrow.
Wally grabbed the edges of Tyson's chair and shook it rapidly. Kuki gasped and pushed him away.
"What are you doing?" She asked.
Wally chuckled. "Look at him, he loves it."
Kuki looked down at Tyson, who was giving the loudest belly laugh, looking back up at Wally, as if waiting for more. Kuki gave a smile and let go of Wally's arm.
Wally did it again and Tyson chuckled rapidly.
Kuki beamed and rested her head on the wall behind her. Resting her eyes.
Wally slowly slowed down so was soon rocking Tyson gently. It worked, Tyson was fell asleep in no time.
Wally chuckled. "It worked, I always used to do that to Joey..."
He looked up to see Kuki fast asleep. Wally gave a smile and stood up, he reached out and gently pulled Kuki so that she was moved from her sitting position to lying down on her bed. Wally then manoeuvred the blanket so that it was over her.
He then heard crying.
"Come on little guy. Let Numbuh 3 sleep tonight." He said quietly. Picking up Tyson's chair and taking it out.
