3's POV

Ah, a wonderful day. Perfect for us to head over to Town. Best part: We're moving there! I look in the mirror as I get myself ready. Beauty is key, after all.

3: Ah, what a wonderful day for me to arrive-

6: But where, oh where, oh where is Five?

Oh right! My mentor, 6, has been antsy about 5 taking a "last hike" on the mountain. I honestly think it's no big deal, as long as it isn't me up there, it's fine.

3: Don't worry about her! It's not like it's me up there! Besides, she can handle herself just fine.

6: Now that is something for you to say, You wouldn't like it either way.

3: Have you been using your spells on me?

6: I am your MENTOR, so why are you acting like I'm the apprentice?

Uh oh, she stopped rhyming.

3: O-oh, sorry.

6: *murmurs*

It sounds like... she's casting a spell. Maybe I can learn how to cast it to impress her.

6: Vinicius....momentico.....

Darn it! She finished casting it.

6: *gasps* Someone's in trouble! At the mountains! Three, let's hurry or they'll be in fountains!

3: Alright.

Sometimes this woman confuses me, and I'm the one she talks to the most!

24's POV

Ugh... What the- HOLY-

24: WHAT THE-

23: Shh! I don't want whatever that thing was to get you.

24: mmf!

23: You fell down a cliff and lost your numberlings upon impact. Luckily I found them.

At least that explains why my head feels heavy. Man, did he really do that, for me? I-I don't know what to think.

24: mmf...

23: Oh, right.

He removed his hand from my mouth.

24: Phew, did you really do that for me?

He blushes for a moment. He definitely did, no questions asked. I think about this for a moment, then...

No POV

24 removes her face from 23's mouth, both feeling awkward about what just happened.

23: Uhh...

24: Yeah, hehe....

23: Should we.. go find the others now?

24: Might as well.

23: Ladies first-

Suddenly, a twig can be heard cracking nearby. 23 and 24 freeze.

24: Maybe if we stand very still, they won't see us.

23: That's a movie thing, and I doubt it'll work.

24: M-Maybe their into movies!

3 & 24 respectively:

23: AAAAA-

3: Woah! Calm down!

24: Oh thank god. It's just Three.

3: Of course it is, why wouldn't it- wait how do you know my name?

23: Huh? Whaddya mean?

3: I've never met you!

24: B-but you have! Remember Three Club?

3: That exists? I would've enjoyed that.

24: ...oh god...you don't.

23: But she still has her numberling!

24: Yeah, but something's off...like that cloak.

3: Hey! I'll tell you that this cloak is my favorite!

24: Oh, sorry.

23: Anyways, do you know where we are?

3: Yeah! You're at the fabled mountains! Why are you here?

23: We were chasing some blue furry creature when we fell off the cliff.

6: You what?!

Six came out of the bushes and glared at the two numberblocks.

6: Three, can't you see, they were chasing five!

Both: 5?!

23: Then why does she look like a werewolf?

6: It's 5, that's how she's meant to be.

Both twenties look at eachother worringly.

Meanwhile

The other twenties (Also 19 & 14) were following 5 down the mountains, reaching the bottom more quickly than before. 5 hasn't talked much to the others, yet she's still curious about where they come from.

5: Here we are. The bottom of the mountain.

28: Finally.

22: ...is it just me, or do I hear angry rhyming?

5: *gasp* Six! Let's go!

They all rush over to the other group, who were given an earful by six herself.

20's: 6?!

6: Wha- There's more of you, I thought there was only Two!

5: Nope! And apparently they know ussssssorta.

3: Really? That explains some things.

26 to 24: What did you say to them?

24: I may or may not have mentioned Three Club.

26: You WHAT?

24: Hey, we didn't know they had amnesia.

26: Yeah, but at least it's not like Fourteen's.

24: Eh, fair.

3: Ya know we can hear you.

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

Awkward Silence fills the area as a tumbleweed flies by.

22: Where did the tumbleweed come from?

19: Anyways... Do you know where the others are?

3: Ya mean One and the others?

19: Yep.

3: Oh sure, we were about to head over to town.

21: Then what are we waiting for? Let's go!

6: Hold on a minute! You still haven't bitten the bullet!

21: The What?

3: She means you haven't answered my question- Who are y'all?

20's: Uh....

19: Alright. This guy here *drags 14 out* Is Fourteen.

6: Fourteen?!

3: He's alive?

5: See, that's what I said!

19: ...Right. I'm Nineteen, the one who kept these guys alive-

23: AND IMPRISONED!

19: Oh my god- SHUT UP TWENTY-THREE!

21: ...I'm Twenty-One.

22: Twenty-Two here.

24: I'm Twenty-Four, and you've already heard of 23 here.

23: Worth It :)

25: Twenty-Five.

26: ...I'm Twenty-Six.

27: And I'm Twenty-Seven!

28: I'm Twenty-Eight.

3: Wow...that's a lot of you...

27: Yep. We're a whole Family.

28: Not really but you'll get it.

5: Okay, now can we go?

6: Fine, if you ask, then we must. Come Along now.

The cave gang followed their former friends as they wondered what else has changed. Little do they know of the horrors that await them.

Six's POV

Something's off, they're all Twenties, but none of them end in a Nine... Maybe that's what that visitor I met months ago was. I can't guarantee, but at least we have Nineteen back. Hopefully she has info on the Tens. In the meanwhile, I should introduce them to the others- and Root.
