And There Were Five

**And There Were Five** is an episode of The Number Yoshis. Its sister episode is Nine In The Fantasy World.

## Summary

Five reads a bedtime story about the first five Number Yoshis.

## Plot

### Chapter One: Nine, the First Number Yoshi

Five first reads about the forming of Number Island, and how Nine was born.

After Number Island forms, a black egg with the number "9" written on it is seen dangling on a rope. Soon, Nine hatches out of the egg and starts babbling and dribbling on a plant. After that, she knocks over a block, thus causing a subtraction problem with a pink egg with the number "8" on it; Nine subtracts the problem, 9 - 1, and Eight is born after he hatches out of the egg.

### Chapter Two: Eight the Rebellion

Nine says her first word, "Eight", and Eight takes a liking to Nine. The two play with each other, and Eight accidentally falls onto the floor. He is crying, but Nine lifts him back up. When Nine and Eight look at the eggs, Eight picks up a purple egg with the number "7" on it, and Seven hatches out of the egg, saying her first words ("That is lucky!").

### Chapter Three: Seven's Lucky Day

Nine and Eight, now shown as two-year-old Number Yoshis, show Seven around Number Island, and Seven takes a liking to the island. The three decide to build a house on Number Island, thus causing a blue egg with the number "6" on it to fall from the sky. Luckily, the egg does not break, and Nine, Eight and Seven take the egg into the house. There, Six is born after hatching out of his egg.

### Chapter Four: Six's First Trick

While Nine, Eight and Seven are showing Six around Number Island, a dog resembling Poochy appears and becomes the new pet of the four Number Yoshis. Later, the dog, named "Doggy", chews up the tablecloth and Six fixes it by replacing the chewed-up parts of the tablecloth with his favorite item, dice blocks. The doorbell rings and Six answers, saying hello to the stork that is bundling a light-blue egg with the number "5" on it. Six takes the egg in and places it by a pencil, causing Five to be born after hatching out of her egg.

### Chapter Five: Five the Talented Writer

Five introduces herself, and Nine, Eight, Seven and Six place her in a chair in front of a star-shaped table. The five then draw pictures, then Six, Seven, Eight and Nine then get tired from drawing with her, and the story ends.

After the story, Number Yoshis Five to Eight are asleep and Nine says goodnight to them.
