It'sss beeeeeen soooooooo looooooonnngggggg…..will anyone read this stoooooorrryyyy!! My most popular at over 200 reviews, wow thank you guys so much! ^-^ ….i think things have changed a little plotline wise, just a bit….maybe….not much…but the dance will still occur soon.

PS: The only people in POOL who did the "looking into one's eyes" thing are Wally and Nigel. In my world, the others don't really know about it at this moment. Wally looked into Kuki's eyes, who he loved…and Nigel had looked into Lizzie's. At this point, the others don't even know about using that to tell who is who; and I say this to refrain from getting repetitive reviews about the "eye" thing. I already know about it and it will come into play later, I promise. But as a writer you guys have to trust me; sculpting a good plot is takes work and things have to fall into the right place.

Kuki was crying in her room, hugging her orange Rainbow Monkey. Wally didn't like his gift? Something was wrong. Definitely, terribly, horribly wrong. Wally was not the same Wally she had spoke to that morning. What had happened in the past few hours to change him so? She sniffled and buried her head in her Rainbow Monkey.

"Wally, what happened to you?" She asked herself. It wasn't long before she cried herself to sleep.

Meanwhile, Wally was still behind bars and tied up. He had fallen asleep and was awakened by the sound of some footsteps in echoing in the hallway. He groaned and turned over, not wanting to wake up to what he thought was a nightmare. But then, he heard it, a goofy giggle that sounded annoying to the ears. He couldn't help but to smirk a little, she was so different than Numbuh five.

"Hyuk, hyuk! Oy, Negative Numbuh four! Time to get up for your breakfast!" She said. Breakfast? Was it Sunday already? Well, whatever, Wally didn't move. Negative Numbuh five stared at him.

"Yo! Did you hear me?! HEEEEEELLLLLLOOOOOOO!!! NEGATIVE NUMBUH FOUR!!! ARE YOU DEAF OR SOMETHING?!" Wally sighed and spoke in a low voice.

"Ah'm not answering….because I'm not Negative Numbuh four." He said.

"D'oh, well sure ya are! Ya got da blond hair! The goatee, and you're in jail! Hyuk! Now gets up, its time to eat!" Wally sighed and slowly sat up before turning around, but he couldn't help to gasp at what she saw. Negative Numbuh five was still smiling as goofy as ever, but…but…

"W-what happened to your eye?!" He asked. Her left eye was black, and blue, and swollen and the left lens of her glasses was cracked. The frames themselves were crooked on her face. She was looking out of one eye

"Doh, I made Ikuk mad again!" She turned her head, shrugging like it wasn't a big deal.

"I do that a lot." Wally made his way closer to her.

"D-does that hurt?" He asked. He knew it had too.

"Nah, I'm used to it! She should be hittin' me again in another hour or so." She said. Wally's eyes grew wide. That was…

"S-she can't do that! You can't let her just hit you around for no reason!" He said. Ybba stared at him curiously and tilted her head to the side.

"Well whada you care? You did worse!" She said. Wally gasped, then frowned.

"Well, HE shouldn't have." Wally said, refusing to answer to anything that gave him the label of his evil counterpart. Ybba put her hand on the bar and stared at him, scrunching up her face.

"Why yous actin' all different?" She asked, squinting her eyes.

"I'm not….I'm being me….I'm positive Numbuh four. ….but," Wally bowed his head, "I can't do anything if you don't believe me. Still, no one deserves to be treated the way they treat you." He said. Ybba's eyes grew wide.

"Y-you're…." She shook her head. She couldn't be fooled by him. She looked at the food tray in her free hand.

"Well, here's your breakfast anyway." She slid it under the door towards him. Wally stared at it, wondering how he was supposed to eat it with his hands tied up."

"You gonna free my hands so I can eat?"

"Nope! That's your punishment! Eating broccoli from your broccoli mines face first!" She cried with a smile. Then she laughed goofily and snorted, which actually hurt her head. She cringed and grabbed at her nose.

"Ow! Ooh, that hurt." She sniffled, "But if you ask me, yous deserve it!" She said. Wally just stared at her and then sighed while bowing his head.

"Well, can I at least have some cheese?" He asked dejectedly. Something went to Ybba's heart at the sound of his voice, but she held her resolve.

"I-I can't….I just…."

"Oh right….they'll probably hit you for it if you do. Nevermind then." He said, giving her a sad smile. Ybba gasped and shook her head. This was crazy. Why wasn't he being mean and yelling at her? She didn't know if she could stand this new side of him. It scared her. Terrified, she turned and briskly walked away, bumping into Ynnaf in the process.

"Oh! Negative Numbuh five, have you fed the prisoner?" She asked. Ybba whimpered a bit, still shaken by the new personality of Yllaw, and she walked away as fast as she could. Ynnaf was startled by this as she walked on forward. A glimmer of hope shone in Wally's eyes when he saw her. Negative 86 had allied with Numbuh one and the others! She helped the negatives revolt against the evil Numbuh four! Maybe she would listen!

"Negative eighty-six, please listen to me! Numbuh one, the rest of Sector V, my friends, family and my whole universe is in trouble!! You have to help them! You owe Numbuh one that much at least for what he did for you! Please! This is a life or death situation!" Wally cried. Ynnaf sighed in exasperation and was about to retort when she gasped, looking at Wally. He looked so helpless…..Yllaw NEVER looked helpless. He always looked revengeful, confident, like nothing could break him, not even being prisoner. She bit her bottom lip.

"You cruddy girl, a lot of innocent people are gonna get hurt if you don't do somethin'!" Wally said angrily.

"Look, it's not like I believe you or anything because I don't…but the only person who has mastered being able to tell who is or isn't evil, is Eizzil…and she's not here. You're just going to have to wait." She said, checking the diagnostics of his holding cell.

"It'll be too late by then!"

"I'm sorry, but that's all I can do."

"Then you're responsible for anyone who gets hurt in my world!"

"You ARE in your world!" Ynnaf cried. Wally was about to yell back at her when they heard a deep voice chuckle.

"Well, well, isn't this a sight? I must say Yllaw, I never expected for you to resort to pleading. It's SO not your style." They both turned to see Ikuk standing in the doorway. Wally frowned at her.

"I'm not gonna let my friends get hurt!"

"You don't HAVE any friends you moron!" Ikuk shouted. She and Wally had a glaring match. Then Wally smirked.

"You ain't got nothin' on Numbuh 3. She's a buhmillion times better than you." Ikuk growled and punched the wall next to her, causing a small crack to form in the wall. Ynnaf gasped and shivered a bit. Ikuk narrowed her eyes before smirking.

"Hmph, you know just how to get under my skin. But I promise you, your torture hasn't even started yet." Wally narrowed his eyes as well.

"Give me your best shot. …you can't break me, and I WILL save my friends."

"You just keep telling yourself that, obviously being locked up for so long has made you sick in the head….well, sicker." Ikuk said.

"Takes one to know one." Wally snapped back.

"Hmph. You're not worth my time." Ikuki said, and Wally couldn't help but smirk to himself. That line always meant that the opposing party was stumped or had given up. He won their little verbal war.

"C'mon Ynnaf, we've got work to do!" Ikuki said, dragging Ynnaf away. Wally watched them leave and then sighed. He'd have to find a way out of here, before Yllaw and Mashi did something to hurt everyone. His eyes trailed over to the plate of broccoli and his countenance dropped as he made his way over to eat it. He needed some energy after all, he was going to have to think of a way out himself.

"Just hold on guys, I'm coming for you." He thought.

"Oy! Hey Girly! Get up, you're gonna make us late for school!" Yllaw cried, knocking on Kuki's door early Monday morning. The rest of Sector V was up except for Kuki. They all gasped.

"What?!" Yllaw asked. Hoagie pointed to him.

"Uh, you WANT to go to school?" He asked.

"Well, how the crud else am I supposed ta learn anything?!" Yllaw shouted. Everyone's mouth dropped.

"Why are you all lookin' at me like that?" He asked.

"Well, you HATE school Numbuh four." Nigel said. Yllaw's eyes grew wide. Darn it! He had botched up again. He had to cover this up.

"Look, if we can't get outta goin' ta cruddy school for most of our lives, there's no point in bein' late, otherwise it's just worse because they hold you after for missin' lessons, you get held back, and then I wouldn't be in the same grade as you guys!" He said. Everyone blinked at him. Okay, while he had explained why he wanted to go to school…the weird thing was, that actually made sense. Yllaw must have realized this as well, for he shifted his feet nervously.

"Er…it happened to my dad?" He said. Abby shrugged.

"Whatevah." She said, standing with her red backpack on. She walked over to Kuki's door.

"Numbuh three! Yo girl, are you alright?"

"I don't feel well." She said softly. Abby looked at the guys and gave a small smile.

"Ya'll go ahead, Numbuh five'll be along in a bit." The boys nodded and with that they left. Abby opened Kuki's door.

"Numbuh three. C'mon girl, Numbuh five knows you ain't sick." She said, sitting on Kuki's bed. Kuki actually was dressed and ready for school, but…"

"I'm scared Numbuh five." She hugged her orange Rainbow Monkey tightly. "Something's wrong with Numbuh four, I just know it! What if something happens at school."

"Will you relax girl? Nothin's gonna happen, I promise. Plus we're a team, we'll all be there for you." She said. Kuki sniffled and hugged her best friend.

"Thanks Abby." She said.

"Now what say we get to school?" Abby said. Kuki nodded and giggled happily.

"Oh! But I'm taking my Fun in the Sunshine Rainbow Monkey because he's my favorite!" She said, hugging the orange doll. Abby nodded and Kuki shoved her doll in her backpack. She then stood up and followed Abby out of her room.

But at school something did happen. Something…strange. In their classes, whenever Numbuh four was asked a question, he got every answer right; EVERY SINGLE ANSWER. And any time one of the Six Gum Gang or even Ernest the bully would come at him, he ran away or confused them with speaking in circles. It just, it wasn't like Numbuh four at all. But his excuse was that Mashi had convinced him to try a new side of himself, which they somewhat accepted. Yllaw decided to use this excuse, at least until he got used to being Numbuh four. Acting stupid was harder than he thought, but then again that wasn't the plan.

The plan had been to, indeed, use Yllaw's talent of his boosted intelligence and his charm to make Sector V and the others see him as a better operative, which would make it all the more devastating when Yllaw finally betrayed them using Mashi's plan. The only thing they didn't account for, was exactly how well Sector V knew Numbuh four, and how shocked they were at each of his new actions. But his excuses were always so solid, that they couldn't question him; and truth be told they were actually starting to somewhat like the new Numbuh four…at least as an asset to the team.

Not only was he smart in class, but he helped Hoagie upgrade some weapons, help Numbuh one come up with some new tactical maneuvers for battle, and help Numbuh five calculate more of her fighting moves. The only person who wasn't impressed was Kuki, which worked out great for Mashi as it meant Kuki was vulnerable and would seek comfort and solace in anything….including him.

At 4:00 pm On Thursday, after four days of Mahshi and Yllaw both winning and solidifying Sector V's trust, Mashi found himself outside of Kuki's bedroom, and he was ready to make one of his moves.

"This is just too easy." He snickered to himself. Not only would he win Numbuh three's heart, but today was the day that Yllaw's was to make a "mistake" during one of their missions, leading up to tomorrow's ultimate betrayal. Before Mashi could knock on Kuki's door, he saw Numbuh one walking by looking over some paper work. He immediately put on his concerned face.

"Something wrong Numbuh 1?"

"Yes….most of our new tactical maneuvers have gone missing. And Moonbase said they've sent out several mission specs for missions they wanted us to do today, but so far I haven't seen any. It's as if someone's intercepted them….that or there was a bug in the system." I just can't figure out what happened.

"Oh, you'll figure it out Numbuh one, you are smart and you're the leader. " He said.

"Yes…and it hasn't been the first time our treehouse would have been infiltrated without us knowing. Adults have attacked our home before when we weren't here…perhaps while we've been at school the past few days. We may have to investigate several of our adult enemies' hideouts. …then to, there are always the teens. I wouldn't be surprised if this was an action by Cree or Chad or one of their teammates."

"See, you're narrowing down the possible culprits already." Mashi said winking. Nigel nodded.

"I suppose." Nigel responded, rubbing his bald head, "A leader's work is never done." Then he looked up and realized they were outside Kuki's room.

"Were you going to speak with Numbuh 3?"

"Oh, uh yeah…she's seemed a little down lately. I thought I'd try to cheer her up?" Just then, Hoagie walked up to them on his way to the kitchen.

"Oh, Numbuh two, I need to speak with you." Nigel said, with a seriousness in his voice. Hoagie's eyes went wide.

"Oh, now Numbuh one? Numbuh four and I are kinda working on something…."

"I'm sure Mashi wouldn't mind taking over while we talk." Nigel said. Mashi cursed silently to himself. Didn't Nigel JUST hear him say e was about to talk to Numbuh three. But he couldn't blow his "nice" cover.

"Oh, but Numbuh one, I was going to…"

"I'm sure Numbuh five could handle it. This IS pretty crucial. It'll only take a moment though Numbuh 202." Nigel said. Mashi clenched his teeth behind his lips. Then, another thought occurred to him. With Numbuh two out of the way, no one would suspect that he and Yllaw could continue sabotaging Numbuh two's newest ship. At this, he smiled.

"No problem at all." He said nodded. Hoagie shrugged worriedly; he really had wanted to spend time working on his new ship.

"Excellent, come along Numbuh two." Nigel said, walking back to his room. Hoagie sighed and followed him, wondering what Nigel wanted to talk about.

What are they going to talk about? Only I know! ^^ Pleaes review, but don't steal. Thank you!
