THE CRYING GAME (a 3/5 fanfic)

[numbuh16]

OMG this is soo good!!! I NEED MOOORRRE.... @_@

The story is otherwise fine, but I have one little qualm, italianator: The characterization makes no sense. Why does Abby slap Hoagie and accuse him of "tricking" her after he offers to let her use his goggles? Why does holding hands with Kuki while watching the Blues Brothers make Wally angry? What is with Wally's entire attitude? And why is it that, when Nigel tells Abby to apologize, she instead goes all egomaniacal and says the team would be nothing without her? And why, when Abby says she's leaving the team, does she basically force Numbuh Three to come with her and Numbuh Three doesn't argue?

Wait for the fifth and last chapter of the fic and you'll find the answers. All the attitudes you noticed will be explained in the better way, numbuh 3 and 5 will resolve the complicated situation about themselves and Wally.

All right... I still have my doubts, but I'll reserve judgement until the next chapter.

And then the final chapter is here: I hope I'll try to give an answer to the question you asked to me. And that you'll like it as the possible better end of this fanfic.
Here we go.

CHAPTER FIVE

“Where are we… what’s happening… what the?”
Kuki was shocked: in a few minutes everything fell down.
She couldn’t understand the real matter of that day, all the possible logic things were erased by the foolish actions of Abby: if only Kuki could read what was passing in that mind.

“We need to land somewhere”, said Abby.
Kuki was silent, too much silent for giving any answer.
“What’s up?”, said Abby on the landing in a forest next to the town, “C’mon, talk”
“… why?”
“Why what?”
“Why we’re doing this?”
“Doing what?”
“I’m talking serious, numbuh 5”
Abby looked at Kuki in a very worried way.
“Uh… Weeell…”
“I mean, don’t you think we should come back to the Treehouse and explain everything in the better possible way… Don’t you?”
“Listen, we’re both confused and nervous and…”
“Abby, we’re both wrong about a lot of things… I knew you tried to help me with numbuh 4 and I’m so grate to you, but… In the last hours… You changed yourself so quickly”
Now Abby was silent, and she couldn’t look Kuki straight in the eyes.
“Abby, are you okay?”
“I… I…”, said her with trembling lips, “… I wish I was”
Then she cried on Kuki’s shoulder and confessed all that made her so strange that day.

“I hope you’ll let me explain, can I?”
“Okay”, said Kuki smiling, “I’m with you”
“Well… where the heck I shall start? … You know, since I’ve been in the sector V my opinion in front of you was like a picture of the sister I never had…”
“… you mean?”
“Cree, exactly. When she turned thirteen I lost every contact with her: we hated each other because I was and I’m actually a little girl and she’s a pretty violent teen”
“My sis Mushi isn’t a teen but I understand how do you felt that fact”
“Some time ago, I understood by myself that I had a very special feeling for you, something I never felt for Cree before she was a teen”
“Did you also hate Cree when she wasn’t a teen?”
“No, no, I mean… I really loved her because she was my big sis and she protected me not only in the first missions, I was a precious thing for her, we were so good together, we could count on the other and that was so good…”
Now Abby was relaxing, and Kuki was realizing a little of what had happened.
“You won’t believe my words in your ears right now but… I always thought to you like the perfect sister for me, and not only a sis but a friend, a very special friend that…”
“Wait numbuh 5! Won’t you mean you…”, said Kuki blushing.
“WHAT?”, Abby said with her eyes wide open, “Oh, not that way numbuh 3! Are you…”
The two girls became both red tomato in the face.
“Sorry, I just thought that you were a …”
“Stop it now, okay? Numbuh 5 isn’t a … you-know-but-isn’t-that-way-you-think”
And then they laughed, and felt very happy together…

“ C’mon c’mon numbuh 2, the MARMALADE’s signal is next!”
“Stay calm, numbuh 4, we’re coming right there!”, said Hoagie driving the Mosquiton through the forest.
“I’m gonna face the question with numbuh 5… And then I’ll apologize to numbuh 3 and… Oh c’mon numbuh 2, be faster! Be faster!”
“Please, numbuh 4”, said Nigel, “I think we had too much tension in the last hours, I’d like to see you very very calm when we’ll find the girls and talk with them”
“Sure numbuh 1, sure”, said Wally.
Then the Mosquito landed next to the point where the Marmalade was.
“That’s the Marmalade”, said Hoagie, “I’m calling the girls”

“… Now I think I told you everything about me and you and what are my real feelings”, said Abby smiling to Kuki.
“Oh numbuh 5, you’re so special for me too, but…”
“But…?”
“I think you have to explain and apologize for that, not only to Wally”
“Yes I…”
“HEEEEY THERE GIIIIIRLZZZ! NUMBUH 2’ S TALKING! ARE YOU THEEEREEE?”
“What the heck!”, screamed Abby, “That darn numbuh 2!”
“Oooh! The guys are here! Wally!!!”
Kuki came out from the Marmalade and ran to the guys: then she saw Wally and her heart began to beat so hard for the happiness.
“Numbuh 3!”, said Wally, “Are you okay?”
But the orange hood hadn’t the time for an answer from her that she jumped on him and gave the biggest hug she never did in her life.
Wally was so embarrassed and happy at the same time.
“Oh, Wally! How are you?”
“Except for the black eye, I’m fine”
“We’re glad you’re fine”, said Nigel, “But where’s numbuh…?”
“I’m here guys”
“Numbuh 5!”, said Hoagie to Abby, “Are you okay too?”
“Wait wait wait”, said Wally, “I think somebody might apologize right now or not?”
“Let me take my time, numbuh 4, I know I was wrong to you”
“I knew you had to admit that”
“Numbuh 4, let numbuh 5 talk”, said Nigel.
All the numbuhs of the sector V was in front of her, waiting for the listening.

“I’m here, and that’s a fact because I left you in a very bad way some hours ago. I’ll try to be clear and let my words coming out: first, I’m sorry with all of you. I know I’ve been rude and violent… not only in words, and I’m very sorry with numbuh 4 anyway for the black eye”
“Oh, that’s nothing now”, said Wally.
“Wait, I didn’t finish. I would like to let you know that numbuh 3 is more than an operative… she’s like a second sister for me, or the sister I never had, or maybe, I never known. I wanted so strong to help her with numbuh 4 and…”
“What?”, said Wally.
“Oh, c’mon orange hood, you know what I say. I was very next to numbuh 3 in this period, and I knew everything about her feelings for you…”
“Oh my!”, said Hoagie, “Burning hearts uh?”
“Shut up you!”, said Wally angry and a little blushy.
“Because of my jealousy I ruined this opportunity, I really care for numbuh 3 and I don’t want that something evil happens to her. I wasn’t myself when I gave the punch to numbuh 4 and I wasn’t myself too when I yelled all those things to numbuh 1… My protection and my affection for Kuki began too much obsessive and I hadn’t selfcontrol in it”
“Well”, said Nigel, “I think that numbuh 5 explained everything so well”
“Wait numbuh 1”, said Wally, “I… I would like to apologize too, and not only to numbuh 5”
“What? Another sermon??”, said Hoagie a little bored.
“Shut up you!”, said Abby.
“Yes… Numbuh 5, all that you said was very clear and I’d like to be clear with all of you. I knew about Kuki and what she felt for me”
“Ooh”, said Kuki going blushy.
“… and I liked to face this situation with her alone, together. So when I noticed that numbuh 5 had a kind of part in it I felt a little worried, because I just wanted to do the right thing with all myself.
Right now I understood what really happened, and I want to apologize with you, numbuh 5, and especially with numbuh 3”
“Oh Wally, you’re so cuuute!”, said Kuki smiling to him.
“Oh, and don’t forget my old pal numbuh 2! I want to apologize with you too, man”
“You’re always welcome, numbuh 4”, said Hoagie to Wally.
“ Well, dear sector”, said Nigel, “I thing everything’s gone alright. I’m so proud of you”
“Hey, let’s go to the Treehouse now!”, said Kuki, “It’s time for The Rainbow Monkies Show on tv!”
“Oh no!”, said Wally, while Abby started to laugh with him and the rest of the sector.


ONE MONTH AFTER

“Hi there numbuh 5!”
“Hi there sweetie!”
“ How does go on with Wally?”
“We’re both fine together, and that’s all”
“Wow, it sounds good!”
Abby and Kuki were sitting on the porch of the treehouse, drinking orange juice and looking at the twilight: the day was ending and soon the evening covered the sky of blue and stars.
“Uh, numbuh 5?”
“Yes”
“How are you… now?”
“Me? Oh, I’m fine. Fine”
“Well, we lived a strange period here in the treehouse”
“I know, I know”
“Do you still think me like a sister?”
“Sure, sure, you’re my special sister, what kind of question!”
“Won’t you be jealous again?”
“I swear it, never be jealous again”
“Uhm, can I… give you a hug?”
“Why not?”

And so everything came back to the old way possible.
The treehouse life started again, day by day.
Kuki and Wally spent their time together, and later they both had confessed their deepest feelings.
But everything must take its time, as Abby said.
And Wally and Kuki wouldn’t forget it.
