“This is stupid” Wallabe Beetles, or what he was better known as, Numbuh 4 grumbled. He was in the infirmary after a mission hadn’t gone as planned “Good news, nothing is broken. However you’ll still need to take time to recover and will have to stay off your feet for some time until it heals. For now it's probably best if you stay here in the infirmary until then’” The medic told him before he had been left there. However, if there was one thing people knew about Numbuh 4 it was that he was incredibly stubborn, and wasn’t about to let an injury get in his way of partaking within a mission. When he was sure no one else was around he began to sneak away “Hehe, No stupid injury is gonna stop me from partaking in a mission… and I don’t care what that cruddy doctor says!”  He continued to creep through the corridors of the medical wing trying to ignore his injury. Eventually he ended up tripping and braced for impact… Except he never came in contact with the ground. Upon opening his eyes he instead found himself being held above the ground
“I thought the Medic told you to stay off your feet” Said the person holding him, it was a voice that he could recognize too well and one he wasn’t that fond of. It was Ace the Cool Kid, A Kid rather popular especially amongst the ladies “Put me down ya Drongo!” Wally demanded, except his demands weren’t exactly met by the cool kid who began carrying him back to the infirmary “Nope. Sorry Numbuh 4 but as long as you have a twisted Ankle you're staying in bed at the infirmary resting. Doctors orders” Wally struggled against him, trying to get him to put him down “Why the Bloody hell are you here anyways? Shouldn’t you be out on the field or somethin’?” Wally asked, Envious of the fact that he got to go on missions and all the other field work, while he had to stay in the infirmary just because he twisted his ankle in the previous mission “Come on Wally, We all know how stubborn you are. The nurse figured you’d try to escape So they sent me to go look after you until you get better” Ace told him as they reached the infirmary, placing Wally back into the medical bed he had been in earlier “So until then you're stuck with me" Wally only rolled his eyes "Hooray.” He said sarcastically, knowing he had to spend the next few hours with this guy
Wally stayed in the bed until Ace suddenly came up and began to go near his sprained ankle, In which Wally tried to kick him away with his other leg “What are you doing?!” Wally demanded as Ace grabbed his leg and began to put it down “Relax, I’m just going to put some Ice on your ankle” “Ice?” Wally questioned, raising an eyebrow “Yes, It’s supposed to help your twisted ankle” Ace assured him before he began to apply the Ice, upon doing so Wally jumped a bit “Cold!!” “Well it is ice. Don’t worry, it only has to stay there for around 20 minutes. Then we can take it off” Ace informed as Wally glared at him before laying back down and waiting for the 20 minutes to be up, after the time was up Ace took it off and began to wrap an elastic bandage around it before elevating it “Aaaand there. Now the ice will be applied in two hours-” “two hours!?” “Yes. It’s to prevent swelling numbuh 4. It's only for twenty minutes anyways, any longer and it can cause some damage. You can take it” Wallaby huffed as he crossed his arms. The next few hours were spent in the infirmary bed waiting for the opportunity to escape, with ace coming in every two hours to reapply the ice “Hey I’m going to go get something to eat, want anything?” Ace asked, Wally seeing his chance and replied "Sure, Just- Don't put any coconut on it. I don't have an epi pen on me" Once Ace left the room Wally began to move out of bed, admittedly almost falling over but managed to carry himself over to a window. Once he got there he began to open it and smirked "So long infirmary and so long loser" He began to climb out but before he could get a foot out the window he felt something hold him back, he looked back to find Ace holding onto his hood and preventing his escape "Foods Done Cuatro" Ace told him as a swift tug pulled him back, with the Cool kid catching him before he hit the ground and scooping him up before carrying him back to the infirmary bed bridal style much to Numbuh 4's embarrassment. He felt his face warm up as he tried pushing Ace away from him "Put me down Dango!! I can walk on my own!!" "You have a sprained Ankle, You shouldn't be walking anywhere" He set Wallaby back on the bed and began elevating his leg once again as well as replying bandages and ice. Once he was finished he grabbed the food he set on the stand next to his bed and placed it on his lap. Wally picked it up and inspected it "What.. Is this?" "it's Called a Phyllo Roll, From what I know their made different ways and this is one of the ways you can make them" Ace informed as Wallaby took a bite, which revealed the sour cherry filling. It was actually pretty good as he continued eating the rest that were on his plate with Ace taking notice of how fast he was eating "Slow down- I know its good but you'll either bite your tongue or get a stomach ache" He warned with Wally not minding much to it "I'm not gonna bite my to- Ow-!" "You bit your tongue didn't you?" Ace asked as Wally Slowly nodded. He sighed and left the room, soon coming back with some water and some cloth wrapped ice cubes "Here, Rinse your mouth with this. It's supposed to clear any blood or debre" Wally unwillingly complied, using the water to rinse out his mouth and spitting it out afterwards. Soon the cloth wrapped ice was applied to his tongue to help with the swelling. Once his tongue felt better he began finishing off the last of the Phyllo Rolls, being more careful since he learned first hand what would happen if he ate too fast
After a that they began watching a movie, during which Wally took notice of Ace drinking a soda "wait- how'd you get that? Ain't you gotta be 13 to drink soda according some crummy adults?" Ace shrugged "We're kids man. You think we care about that? Heck we smuggle em in here all the time, who cares what adults think?" He took another sip and looked back at Wally "You know if you want Maybe sometime I can show you how to smuggle stuff we're not allowed to have without getting caught" "Naahhh- Already smuggle in root beer for kids at the tavern with Numbuh 2. That's enough for me" Wally told him as ace shrugged and turned his focus back to the movie "Suit yourself" They continued on with the movie with Wally occasionally Glancing over at Race's soda, for root beer was something he hadn't had in awhile. Eventually Ace handed it over to Wally much to his surprise "Here, you can have the rest" Wally stared at the soda in hand "Why.. Are you giving me this?" "Dude, I can see you glancing at my soda. You clearly want it. I can always just get another anyways" "um... Thanks I guess..." He held onto the soda as he took tiny sips from it, he had rather small hands so he had to use both of them to hold the soda can. Ace noticed it and couldn't help but chuckle a bit, immediately turning back to the movie once Numbuh 4 began to glare at him.
Eventually It began to get rather late "I should be heading home-" Before he could finish his sentence he was interrupted by Ace "Nope. Orders from command says your staying right here untill your ankles healed" "but-" "Your situation with your parents have already been covered. As far as their concerned, Your at a slumber party" Wally huffed and crossed his arms, not exactly enjoying the fact that he'd be stuck in the infirmary instead of being out on the field on a mission "I ain't tired though..." Ace looked at him for a bit before he left the room, soon coming back "Here. This should help you sleep a bit easier" Wally looked at what he had and tilted his head in confusion "It's... Just a Jar of Honey?" "Believe it or not Honey can actually help you fall asleep by releasing melatonin, I use it some times when I can't sleep" "That's stupid... How can Honey help me fall aslee-" Soon a spoonful of honey was shoved into his mouth "You talk too much" Ace told him as he made sure that Wally didn't choke on the honey "Ugh... So if this stuff makes me sleepy then when should it start working?" "in about 30 minutes or so. If you wish you can take another spoonful of honey" "Mm... Fine just- give it here..." He muttered as he was given the jar of honey, in which he took another spoonful of honey as Ace hummed and took the honey back once he was done. He put the Lid back on and went to put the honey away as well as put the honey covered spoon in the sink. Once he came back to the infirmary he found numbuh 4 half a sleep, which prompted him to briefly leave and and come back with a stuffed bear. He placed it next to Numbuh 4 and watched he subconsciously cuddle up to it. Ace couldn't help but lightly chuckle as he gently ruffled his hair "Sleep Well numbuh 4... Hope your recovery goes well" He smiled and soon began to leave the infirmary, leaving a bit of light in there. After all he imagined that He wouldn't appreciate being left alone in the dark... Although he was gonna have a hard time explaining why he came home so late
