I'm sorry I haven't posted in a few days, I was losing ideas and didn't know what to write or how to start this chapter. But here you are,
a chapter longer than all the previous ones. Enjoy! 💗

Numbuh 1 opened the door and saw Wallabee still sitting on the cot with his hands in his lap. He walked toward Numbuh 4 and sat down next to him.

"H-hey Numbuh 1. So, what was that about?" Wally said hesitantly. He slowly moved his hand over to Nigel's and grabbed onto it with a shy but alluring smile.

Nigel rubbed the back of his neck with his other hand.
"Well, I sent the team to continue the mission." He cleared his throat.
"Also..."

Should he tell him?

"You've... I've tested something I found on you and... you're Infected with a virus"
Wallabee looked at him and tilted his head.
"A virus? But I feel fine."
Fine!? Wallabee thought.
I definitely don't feel fine! I'm acting like a cruddy girl!

Numbuh 1 sighed and glanced nervously at his hand, currently being held by Wallabee.
He bit his lip and continued.
"It's a different type of virus, it affects your emotions and the way you think."
"My emotions? But I feel fine!" Wallabee said again.

Numbuh 1 sighed once again.
This is harder than I thought.

"Well, it's uh... different for everyone. I'm isolating you from the team just in case. It may jeopardize the mission." Numbuh 1 said matter-of-factly.

"But why are you here? Won't you catch it?"

"I've had it before, so I'm immune. Besides, it's not that contagious anyway. I'm staying here to take care of you, so Numbuh 5's leading the mission instead."

Wallabee looked down at the floor with a blush while he tucked a few hairs behind his ear. "S-s-so you and me are gonna.. be alone... I-I'm okay with that." He glanced up at Nigel sheepishly.

Numbuh 1 felt his heart beating faster.
He didn't like to admit it, but he had a crush on Wallabee.
Numbuh 4 had a special charm to him that just drew Nigel in, not to mention how cute Wally was. He'd fell in love with Wallabee almost as soon as they'd met, but he pushed it down for the sake of the KND. He didn't want his feelings to get in the way. And he wasn't too sure Numbuh 4 would reciprocate his love anyway. So, Wallabee Beetles had captured Nigel Uno's heart without knowing it. And Nigel was too afraid to let him know.

Suddenly, he finally became fully aware of the situation he was in.

The gang was out on a mission, Numbuh 4 was head over heels for him, and he had Wally all to himself. Alone, in the treehouse.

What kind of beautiful miracle was this?

Of course, he absolutely wanted to take advantage of this perfect situation he was gifted, but he didn't want to use Wally like that. He had dignity, he had respect, he... Who was he kidding? He couldn't help himself.

"Man, how are we gonna get in now?" Numbuh 5 said as she tapped her foot furiously on the pavement.

They had just arrived at the same mini mart they'd previously entered to get inside the Teen Ninja's hideout. It was closed so they couldn't use the vent they'd crawled in before.

"Um, we can break the windows maybe?" Numbuh 2 said with a nervous chuckle. Abigail looked at him with disbelief.
"Are you crazy?" She said, and motioned around the parking lot.
"There are cameras everywhere!"
Numbuh 2 looked down in shame. He walked over to the sidewalk in front of the mini mart and sat down with a sigh. Numbuh 5 stood for a few more seconds before doing the same.

"Hey! I know! Why don't we just wait till morning and go in when it's open?" Numbuh 3 said with a giggle, holding her detective rainbow monkey. Numbuh 5 looked at her and blinked slowly before looking back to the ground. Numbuh 3 sighed loudly and sat next to Numbuh 2 on the sidewalk.

Suddenly, they were all flipped upside down and slid down into an opening.

They all fell on their backs with an 'ouch'.
They sat up and rubbed their heads with a groan.

"What the heck just happened? Where are–" Abigail trailed off as she stared at her surroundings.

"Woah."
