Couples: Internal

Romance: List -- Internal -- Mix -- External

1/2 | 1/3 | 1/4 | 1/5 | 2/3 | 2/4 | 2/5 | 3/4 | 3/5 | 4/5

This page contains all ten possible couples for Numbuhs 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. It's called "internal" because it involves only the five main characters.


#1 and #2

Proof:
  • In Operation: G.R.O.W.-U.P., #2 says that getting ice cream "just isn't the same without Numbuh 1," and at the end, #1 puts his hand on #2's shoulder.
  • In Operation: A.F.L.O.A.T., when #2 disappears, #1 yells, "Numbuh Twooo!" and tries to go beneath deck to find him. When #5 stopped him from going back, he broke down and started saying things like, "It's all my fault!"
Tako's Opinion: Yeah, not a lot of evidence (I decided not to include all the parts where #2 says stuff like, "Wow, what a hero!" about #1), but I still like it. I think it's cute how Numbuh 2 admires Numbuh 1, although it's probably in a purely platonic way, but OH WELL!
Ika's Opinion: It's okay, I guess. It's probably one of the better slash couples, but it's really not my favorite when compared to other 1-couples or other 2-couples.


#1 and #3

Proof:
  • In Operation: Z.O.O., when the KND are trying frantically to get out of their cage, #3 gets a running start and then #1 boosts her up to the ceiling (in a failed escape attempt), and then #3 falls down on top of him.
  • In Operation: G.R.O.W.-U.P., in the battle with the DC that the KND lose, when #3 is defeated, #1 yells "Numbuh 3!!" but doesn't do that for anyone else.
  • In Operation: F.A.S.T.F.O.O.D., #4 makes fun of #3's abilities, but #1 gives her a mission to do.
  • In Operation: B.R.I.E.F., #3 kept on looking at #1's posterior.
  • In Operation: E.N.D., #1 helped #3 out of the decommissioning chair first, although I think the person closest to him was #2.
  • In Operation: B.U.T.T., #3 cried when the others dropped #1 into the ocean, and she also cried when #4 explained that #1 was leaving the team.
  • In Operation: H.O.S.P.I.T.A.L., #1 assures #3 that Bradley will be okay, and #3 returns with googly eyes.
Tako's Opinion: Hm... Personally, I think this hypothetical couple is kind of weird. It's unlikely, but it's cute as long as #3 isn't like, "Yay! Numbuh 1, I love you!" or something, but more like #3 is being silly and for a second, #1 smiles fondly, or something like that. More subtlety.
Ika's Opinion: I don't really like it. I'm not like, "UGH!! They're putting in 1/3 evidence!" but I don't really think it's particularly cute or anything. It would be okay, but not my favorite.

#1 and #4

Proof:
  • In Operation: L.I.C.E., after #4 says his lice speech and gets separated from the others he says, "Right, Numbuh 1? Numbuh 1?"
  • This isn't really proof, but in Operation: P.O.P., #1 and #4 were bottled together. ^^;;
  • #1 saved #4 from falling off the edge of the aircraft in Operation: F.A.S.T.-F.O.O.D.
  • In Operation: B.R.I.E.F., #4 was the one who started teasing #1 about the underwear and he also called #1 his "best friend".
  • #4 started crying after #1 left the team in Operation: B.U.T.T.
  • In Operation: L.O.C.K.D.O.W.N., when #1 crashed into the treehouse, #4 yelled, "Numbuh 1! Oh, please tell me you're okay!"
Tako's Opinion: I don't like this one very much because #1's and #4's personalities don't really seem to go well together, but I guess that I've been warming up to it lately. It's kind of cute, but not my favorite slash couple.
Ika's Opinion: I used to think that #1 and #4 had no strong connection with each other, but then I noticed that #1 tends to rely on #4 a lot (for example, "Numbuh 4, can you please talk some sense into these two?" (Op. CAMP)), so it's not that bad, but I don't really like it that much.


#1 and #5

Proof:
  • In Operation: L.I.Z.Z.I.E., when #5 is trying to get the mind control helmet off of #1, she says, "You're being brainwashed! You gotta fight it!" #1 then responds, "You're just jealous." Then #5 says, "Jealous?! Don't hold your breath."
  • In Operation: C.A.M.P., when #1 is attacked by a lanyard, #5 runs after him and says, "Numbuh 1!!" (She doesn't do this for #s 2, 3, or 4.)
  • In Operation: Q.U.I.E.T., #5 is very concerned that #1 gets his sleep.
  • In Operation: Z.O.O., #1 and #5 work together to save the rest of the KND members and she winks at him at the end.
  • In Operation: G.R.O.W.-U.P.,
    1. #5 lectures #1 about changing his attitude and how he used to be cool. #1 is very affected by #5's words, and he reforms.
    2. When #1 is trying to keep the piano jammed in the fireplace, #5 says, "We gotta help Numbuh 1!"
    3. At the end of the episode, #5 puts her hand on #1's shoulder.
  • #1 likes to make teams consisting of him and #5. He does this in Operation: P.O.P... and in Operation: I.-S.C.R.E.A.M., #1 and #5 are on the ice cream truck together.
  • In Operation: C.O.L.L.E.G.E., they have that argument and #5 does most of #1's rescuing.
  • In Operation: L.E.A.D.E.R., after Lizzie said that #1 put her in charge, #5 decided to trust Lizzie, saying something like, "Well, if Numbuh 1 put you in charge..."
  • In Operation: U.T.O.P.I.A., #5 calls #1's name urgently when they lose contact with him.
  • In Operation: F.O.U.N.T.A.I.N., it's revealed that #5 will never forgive the DC because they made #1 bald, and when #5 sees #1's bald head at the end, she smiles as if her heart was melting and decides to save Leona.
  • In Operation: B.U.T.T.,
    1. #5 is the one who is most serious about helping #1.
    2. She puts her hand on his shoulder at the end.
    3. Also, for some reason, she calls #1 "Nigel" twice in that episode.
  • In Operation: L.O.C.K.D.O.W.N.,
    1. #5 is most concerned about #1, telling the others to guard him and she seems to hold him in a higher esteem than all the others ("Numbuh 1 is sleeping, the others are useless...").
    2. #5 tries to reach out and get #1 to fight the spank-happiness, and almost succeeds.
  • In Operation: J.E.W.E.L.S., #5 goes through a lot of trouble to retrieve a jewel-candy that is precious to her because she's been saving it for #1's birthday.
Tako's Opinion: I must admit that I'm not really a fan of this one. I am warming up to it a little bit though. I think 1/5 can be cute if #1 likes #5, not the other way around, which is kind of weird, I guess, considering it seems that #5 likes #1 but... Anyway, it's a cute couple and I would say it's pretty well-supported.
Ika's Opinion: This is a pretty good couple. It seems that sometimes the evidence could be done better (for example, the endings of QUIET and JEWELS), but it does seem pretty well-supported otherwise. I think it's a cute couple.

#2 and #3

Proof:
  • In Operation: L.I.C.E., when #3 uses her nacho cheese bomb, #2 yells, "Numbuh 3!!" (at least, I think it was #2 who yelled that).
  • In Operation: C.A.M.P., #3 and #2 adopt Bradley and become like his mom and dad. They also argue about taking care of the baby like a couple. There was also that really cute way how Numbuh 2 put his hand on Numbuh 3's shoulder.
  • In Operation: P.O.P., #2 saved #3 at the expense of #1 and then later said, "Gotta save #3!"
  • In Operation: F.A.S.T.-F.O.O.D., #3 exits the restaurant at the same time the KND charge towards it. The KND then double back and #2, at the front, picks up #3 and carries her on his shoulder.
  • In Operation: F.O.U.N.T.A.I.N., #3 was riding on #2's shoulders when they were surfing on all the milk and was having a lot of fun.
Tako's Opinion: I find this couple very cute, although, sadly, not especially likely. Meh, well, I can dream. It's just so cute. I mean, who can watch C.A.M.P. and not think that it was cute? I really wish they'd put in more 2/3 evidence.
Ika's Opinion: I think that C.A.M.P. was very cute and I really like the couple. People really don't appreciate it enough. It's kind of sad, actually. This is one of my more favorite couples.

Numbuh 2 and 3 look like they could be parents.  Well...if they weren't kids, that is.Aww... They're so cute.  They look like boyfriend and girlfriend on a picnic.


#2 and #4

Proof:
  • They work together well, as seen in Operation: G.R.O.W.-U.P. And in Operation: G.R.A.D.U.A.T.E.S., koala-#4 was riding on hippo-#2's back.
  • They do lots of things together, like eating old cheese fries (P.O.I.N.T.), and having flashlight duels (N.O.-P.O.W.U.H.), and making fun of #1 and Lizzie (L.I.Z.Z.I.E.), and racing each other to the curb (L.I.Z.Z.I.E.), and splashing around in the water (F.U.G.I.T.I.V.E.), and making fun of #1 and his underwear (B.R.I.E.F.), and playing Yipper Card Squadron (U.N.C.O.O.L.).
  • In Operation: K.I.S.S., #4 misses #2 the most. (He says stuff like, "I wish #2 was here," and, "Stupid hamster project," and interrogates the hamster about what the hamster did to #2.) Also, at the end, when #2 is sad to see Cree being taken away, #4 says, "Are you crying?!" very angrily (jealousy? >:D)
  • They dine together at the cheese restaurant in Operation: T.H.E.-S.H.O.G.U.N.
  • This probably doesn't count, but in Operation: F.O.U.N.T.A.I.N., toddler-#2 caught toddler-#4 when #4 fell down, and patted him on the back.
  • When #4 got hit by ice cream in Operation: M.A.C.A.R.R.O.N.I., #2 yelled, "NUMBUH FOUUUR!" and went over to him.
Tako's Opinion: Hm... Now that I look at it, this couple's proof is mostly friendship-type stuff, not couple evidence. Oh well, Season 2 had more evidence, particularly Operations: T.H.E.-S.H.O.G.U.N. and K.I.S.S. I think it's a really cute couple.
Ika's Opinion: I don't really like it as a couple, because their relationship is more of a friend relationship and not a love relationship. And some of the "proof" isn't valid. �_�

#2 and #5

Proof:
  • In Operation: P.I.R.A.T.E.,
    1. When #5 shares her secret stash of candy, #2 says, "Wow, you're the best, Numbuh 5!"
    2. This comment also comes into #5's mind when she's offered Stickybeard's treasure.
    3. #5 is falling off the ship and #2 comes swinging in and saves her.
    4. Lastly, at the end of the episode, #2 calls out to #5, asking if she is okay.
  • In Operation: P.O.P., for some reason at the end, the soda guy is only looking for #5 when he opens the bottles.
  • In Operation: D.A.T.E., #2 & #5 go to the dance together.
  • In Operation: T.A.P.I.O.C.A., in #2's retelling of the stories, #5 admires his wisecracks, which probably reflects #2's inner desire to be admired by #5.
  • In Operation: K.I.S.S., Cree says, "And he's [Hank's] cuter than anyone you'll ever date," (does this sound like dramatic irony to anyone else?), and #5 says that she'll keep Cree's CDs and her boyfriend nice and safe.
  • In Operation: B.E.A.C.H., #2 and #5 were playing in the water and teasing #4 together, and fighting the knights together and... well, they pretty much were always together in this episode.
  • In Operation: F.O.U.N.T.A.I.N., they hugged (well, because they were afraid, but still).
  • In Operation: U.N.C.O.O.L., #5 gets kind of annoyed when #2 makes a big deal over #78.
  • In Operation: H.O.U.N.D., you can see a concerned look on #2's face when #5 walks into class scratched up and gives her #4's homework when she's about to be attacked by a werepoodle.
  • In Operation: R.A.B.B.I.T., #5 playfully swats at #2 with her hat when he makes a bad joke at the end.
Tako's Opinion: I love this couple. It's rather cute and has some evidence behind it. Not much, but still some (a lot from Season 2). Also, if you support 1/Lizzie and 3/4, then the two people left are #2 and #5.
Ika's Opinion: This is really cute and there's plenty of good evidence. It's maybe not as good as 2/3, but it's really cute.

#3 and #4

Proof: There's a lot of proof, so I'll just include some of the main ones. For an exhaustive list, you should just go to one of the many 3/4 shrines in existence.
  • In Operation: G.R.O.W.-U.P.,
    1. #3 hits #4 on his behind with a towel.
    2. #3 and #4 are sitting in the ice cream truck and eating ice cream together a lot.
    3. In the ending credits, #4 is offering #3 an ice cream.
  • In Operation: A.R.C.T.I.C., #4 gets flustered when #30c remarks about how cute #3 is and gets jealous when #3 remarks about how cool #30c is.
  • In Operation: O.F.F.I.C.E., #4 is going to leave all the girls until #3 comes. Not only is he willing to save her, but he's also willing to save her even if it means he goes to Pluto. Also, when the rocket crashes, #3 hugs #4, and he gets very flustered.
  • In Operation: C.A.T.S., #3 says she loves #4 and #4 says he loves #3 (of course, this is #4-dressed-up-like-Mr.-Huggykins).
  • In Operation: D.A.T.E., #3 and #4 go to the dance together & dance.
  • In Operation: G.H.O.S.T., he falls on top of her near the beginning of the episode and he also grabs her hand when she's being pulled back into the grave near the end.
  • In Operation: B.E.A.C.H.,
    1. #3 asks #4 to be her "Prince Charming".
    2. #2 & #5 tease #4 about his crush on #3.
    3. #4 is upset when #3 is captured and gets engaged to Sandy.
    4. #4 blushes a lot and hides behind his excuse that #3 owes him a (non-existant) quarter.
  • In Operation: U.N.D.E.R.C.O.V.E.R., #4 has something to confess to #3 and it's NOT that he's secretly a rainbow monkey fan...
  • In Operation: E.N.D., #3 flirts with #4 ("Yoo-hoo! Numbuh Fou-ur! Good luck!"), and he starts blushing.
  • In Operation: B.U.T.T., #4 tries to cheer up #3 when she starts crying (awww).
  • In Operation: S.L.U.M.B.E.R., #12 and #23 ask #3 if she likes #4 (well, it seems like other people notice something going on between them).
  • In Operation: H.U.G.S., #3 and #4 are at the Rainbow Monkey Fair and Share Fair together (kind of like they're on a date), and when #3 hugs #4, he blushes.
  • In Operation: T.R.I.C.K.Y., #3 glares at #4 and he immediately rectifies his sentence, and at the end, #3 says, "I hope Numbuh 4 didn't do too badly."
  • In Operation: H.O.S.P.I.T.A.L., #4 gets upset when #3 makes a big deal over the operative in the hospital.
  • In Operation: F.O.O.D.F.I.T.E., #4 lunges to stop the Slamwitch from taking away #3.
  • In Operation: N.U.G.G.E.T., #3 offers #4 a chicken nugget that she was saving for unfortunate kids.
  • In Operation: P.O.O.L., #3 hugs #4 and congratulates him on his ability to swim and #4 could tell that -#3 wasn't #3 by looking in her eyes.
Tako's Opinion: 3/4 used to be my absolute favorite couple, but I think it's a bit overdone, with all the 3/4 proof, 3/4 fanfics, and 3/4 fansites, and all. However, I must admit that it's a pretty cute couple and I'm experiencing something like a 3/4 Renaissance at the moment.
Ika's Opinion: I used to really like this couple, but now, it's just not cute anymore. How they put in way too much evidence is kind of stifling and I don't like the really overdone evidence like them hugging and blushing and stuff, but that's just my opinion.

#3 and #5

Proof: Er... I'm not good at finding 3/5 proof, so there's probably a lot more than I have here.
  • In Operation: G.H.O.S.T., #3 hugs #5 and holds her hand when they're investigating the ghost hamsters, and #5 helps #3 escape Chubbo's grave.
  • In Operation: A.F.L.O.A.T., when #3 is eaten up by the Great White Asparagus, #5 yells, "Numbuh 3!" and when #4 pays more attention to #3's rainbow monkey, #5 says, "That thing just ate Numbuh 3!" so #5 obviously has her priorities straight and is more concerned about #3.
Tako's Opinion: Well, as a girl, I don't really like this couple that much. It's not too bad though. The only problem is a lack of an episode dedicated to the two of them (like how T.H.E.-S.H.O.G.U.N. was to #2 and #4).
Ika's Opinion: I don't like this one much either. If they always acted like how they did in L.I.Z.Z.I.E., this couple might actually have a chance, but... at best it'll be like 2/4 in my opinion--a friend relationship, not a love one.


#4 and #5

Proof:
  • #5 likes to tease #4, as seen in Op. ARCTIC, CATS, FUTURE, and ROBBERS.
  • In Operation: R.O.B.B.E.R.S., #4 and #5 ride the bus together, and #4 offers #5 the opportunity to copy his homework (aww, how sweet!).
  • In Operation: F.O.U.N.T.A.I.N., #5 saves #4 a lot and #4 reminds #5 about the importance of saving kids.
  • They tend to back each other up in battle and work together (Op. PIRATE, LIZZIE, CAMP, CHAD, PRESIDENT).
Tako's Opinion: I think it's okay, but it's not one of my favorite couples. I can see it happening, and I think it's kind of cute, but I don't really support it.
Ika's Opinion: I don't really see a lot of romance between them. There has been more recently, but I still think that they aren't more than teammates.

While Numbuh 1 is off with Lizzie, Numbuhs 4 and 5 enjoy themselves at the amusement park.
