100's Secret [Complete]

Tired Ten

Bella: It was brand new day in Numberland and everyone was awake and refreshed except for 10.

20 POV
I wake up and dress up then go straight to 21's house. When I reach, I see a numberblock lying down beside 21's house. When I get closer, I recognize the numberblock, its 10!

20: 10! 10! Wake up!

10: Just ten more minutes.

20: 10! It's me, 20!

10: Huh...What?
I'm awake! I'm awake! I wasn't sleeping.

20: Why are you sleeping here? Did you even go home yesterday?

Bella: Exhausted, 10 Sits down.

10: I didn't go home yesterday, I stayed awake almost all night here.

20: Why would you do that?

10: I...I was afraid that 30 and 3 might break into 21's house when everyone was sleeping.
I...think that I slept for an hour or so.

20: Only 1 hour!?

Bella: 21 comes out of her house followed by 23 and 24.

21: What happened here?

20: Ten stayed awake all night guarding your house. She was afraid that 3 and 30 might break into your house while you two were asleep.

21: 10, why? I would have handled them if they thought of coming in.

10: I'm sorry. I just...

23: You gotta go sleep, you need a lot of rest.

10: But...But what about 100's Secret and...and-

21: It's okay 10, we can handle it ourselves, you can start helping us again tomorrow.

10: But I can't fly home, I'm too tired.

20: I'll walk you home. 21, 23 and 24, please stay inside until I come back.

21: Okay.

Bella: 20 starts to help 10 walk home.

20: So, did you see or hear anything suspicious while you were awake?

10: Actually, I did hear some leaves rustling and a couple of footsteps, so I feel that me staying there did not go to waste.

20: But still, you shouldn't have done that to yourself.

Bella: They reach 10's house.

20: Okay, now all I want you to do, is get as much rest as you can. Got it?

10: But I want to help you all.

20: You will help us by taking a rest.

10: Ugh, fine.

Bella: 10 enters her house and 20 heads to 21's house.

10 POV
I enter my house sadly, I really wanted to help them. I lie on my bed and go straight to sleep.

20: I'm back!

21: Great! We were just about to start talking.

20: *sits on chair* Okay, you two, tell us all that you know about 100.

23: Every evening she comes in the cave and checks on us all, then she leaves.

24: But she used to stay for a long time, but she stopped staying for long after she made 1000.

23: A few weeks ago, she told me and 24 that we will be going out of the cave on 22nd March.

24: 23 will go out first, then me. And there is a 50% chance that there will be a couple of others who come out after us .

21: Do you know why is she keeping it a secret from all of us?

23: I heard her say that she didn't want anyone from outside the cave to know about us because they will blame her for making lots of numberblocks.

24: She said that 1 wanted to get new numberblocks every now and then and not all at once.

20: I'm sure that 1 can change that rule.

21: But how do we convince her to?

20: Hmmm...🤔
__________
Bella: 3 and 30 were listening in through the window the whole time, but 20 and 21 blocked their view of 23 and 24. Even if they didn't see 23 and 24, they still heared everything.

3: For once something good is happening to us. All we have to do is convince 1 to change that rule. It'll be easy peasy lemon squeazy.

30: I don't think that it'll be that easy.

3: Puh-lease, it will be as easy as One, Two, Three. I am a close friend to 1, of course she will agree to change it if I ask her to.
__________
21:I'll try to talk to her.

20: I think it's better if someone who is closer does the talking.

21: Like who? 10?

20: I mean, 2.

21: 2!? But then we have to tell him everything!

20: Do you want 1 to change the rule or not?

21: Fine...
