Summary[]
Numbuh 5 tries to keep the treehouse quiet so Numbuh 1 can sleep.
Plot[]
One evening, the Toiletnator tries to attack Sector V. The Toiletnator launched his toilet paper upwards and was almost at the top when a bucket of water caused it to rip and fell to the ground and then used plungers when night came and then some laser lamps electrocuted the Toiletnator and sent him down. His attempts, however, are thwarted by Nigel's security system, which he has apparently been up working on for six days and five nights straight. Wally was impressed with the defenser ray that stops adults. Numbuh 5 needed Numbuh 1 to sleep and Numbuh 3 informed him that going to the Moon Base is a long trip. After Abigail drags him to bed to sleep before going to the Moon Base for an award on the system the next day, she tells the rest of Sector V to keep it quiet as to not wake Nigel. Hogarth, Kuki, and Wally agreed and they tiptoed away. However, it doesn't last long.
As they tiptoed to the couches to watch a little TV, the trouble began. When Hoagie turns the television on, a Monster Truck show was on and its volume is so high, it startles them all, and he accidentally drops the remote, losing it under the couch. Abigail quickly soon turns the television off. Suddenly, they hear fireworks and Lizzie's voice calling for Nigel, who apparently had a date with her. They douse the fireworks, and told her to be quiet. But Lizzie didn’t care since Nigel was sleeping. As Lizzie spoke through a loudspeaker to call to Numbuh 1, Numbuh 3 went through to keep Lizzie quiet. And soon Abby decided to send Wallabee to go with Lizzie, who’s heart belonged to Nigel and then Abby, who remembered not wake up Nigel, made Wally disguised as Nigel with Lizzie, who went to “the Point”.
Abigail then wonders why Lizzie was not repelled by Nigel's security grid. Then Hoagie points out that it's off. He tries to turn it back on, but it loudly requires an access code. But Hoagie, Abigail, and Kuki didn’t know the code. Kuki says she'll ask Nigel what it is, but Abigail immediately stops her. Hoagie then attempts to enter the code, only to have the machine yell out, "incorrect code!" and blared out a loud alarm. Abigail stops it by unplugging the machine.
Suddenly, they hear a knock at the door. Kuki opens it to find Laura Limpin as a Skunky Scout trying to sell Sector V candy. She stupidly refuses and slams the door in her face, as Numbuh 5 recognizes her and hears the rejection causing Laura to become very angry, and transformed into the Big Badolescent. She quickly "persuades" them to buy all of her candy, and leaves.
A few minutes later, the Common Cold comes in through the ceiling, and while announcing himself he starts to sneeze. Hoagie quickly jumps to cover his mouth and nose to stop the noise but Numbuh 2’s hands got covered in snout and boogers much to his disgust. The Common Cold was relieved but he was about the sneeze again until Hoagie covered his nose again. A moment after that, Stickybeard is seen, and was about to swing through a closed window. Kuki pushes the wooden board keeping it shut out of the way, just as he is swinging through and was about to crash into some trophies when Abby caught him. Stickybeard wanted to make Numbuh 5 pay for his past misery. He soon sees the Skunky Scout candy and helps himself to them, being scolded by Abigail to eat quietly. Then a big explosion caused Kuki to fly towards some glass objects and a big pot until Abigail flipped the rug’s lump to push them aside as Kuki had a soft landing on a chair and on a pillow. When the dust settled, Professor XXXL blasts through the wall, stating that he has finally made the “perfect snow cone”. He is also shushed, but Lizzie returns with Wallabee, who was still disguised as Nigel, is covered in kisses and is in a mess, stating that, "Numbuh 1 owes him big time." Kuki begins to tease Wallabee about his "date", by dancing and singing, "You're Lizzie's boyfriend! You're Lizzie's boyfriend!" Wallabee denies it, and begins to chase her around the treehouse, both yelling. Lizzie immediately tries to grab the snow cone from Professor XXXL, and the whole treehouse breaks out in noise; Stickybeard started eating the candy loudly, Numbuh 4 chased Numbuh 3 around, and Numbuh 2 was trying his hardest to stop the Common Cold from sneezing loudly.
A sudden hush comes over them all when they see Nigel walking out of his room, apparently sleepwalking. After he gets his drink and leaves the bathroom, the Toilenator is seen coming out of the toilet, prepared to attack Nigel, who is still sleepwalking. Abigail uses Professor XXXL's snow cone to slip him up, catching him on a pillow with Kuki. She loudly states that it was a close one, and Nigel sticks his head out of his room, yelling at her to keep it down so he can sleep. He slams the door while simply screams into a fit of frustration.
The next day, Nigel flew off to Moon Base and is shown getting the award at the Moon Base on the television. In the treehouse, all of the other members of Sector V, Lizzie, and even the villains are sleeping. Nigel ironically compliments his defense system should allow his teammates to be able to sleep well without any intruders, which prompts Abigail to protest, "Ah, shut up!" and falls asleep herself.
Interruptions[]
Here are the characters who made a lot of noise accidentally but were unable to wake up Numbuh One:
- Sector V: They were going to watch TV quietly but the volume was unexplainably up so high that Hoagie dropped the remote. They try to find it but Numbuh 5 pushes the off button and tells them to be quiet.
- Lizzie Devine: She tried to wake up Nigel to go on a date with her. Wallabee disguised himself as Nigel and Lizzie kissed him several times Soon, this makes Kuki tease Wallabee for being kissed by Lizzie, and he chases after her.
- Laura Limpin A.K.A. The Big Badolescent: She forced Sector V to buy at least 300 boxes of Skunk-Scout Lollies after she turned into a giant angry male-like monster when Numbuh 3 initially denied so.
- Common Cold: He wanted to attack Sector V, but had no condition because he kept sneezing and rarely had dialogue in the episode. Hoagie was forced to cover Common Cold's nose and mouth but got covered in snout and boogers.
- Stickybeard: He wanted back the loot from Operation: P.I.R.A.T.E., and instead ate the Skunky-Scout Lollies, but started to forget he had to be quiet.
- Professor Triple Extra Large: He finally made a perfect snowcone and wanted to tell everybody at the Sector V Treehouse. Lizzie wanted to eat and try the Snow-Cone, but Prof. XXXL tried to protect his snowcone.
Suddenly, Numbuh One still asleep was sleepwalking to the bathroom. The Toiletnator was back! Abigail used Prof. XXXL's snowcone to make him slip and she and Kuki caught him on a pillow.
Abigail yells out, "MAAAAAANNN...that was close!!". This prompts Nigel to yell out, "Hey! Keep it down, Numbuh Five! I am trying to get some sleep here!". She gets angry and makes the loudest scream. (Possibly primal scream therapy.)
In the ending, everybody is seen sleeping peacefully in the morning, except Numbuh 5 who only falls asleep moments after finding out Numbuh 1 won the award.
