Nigel's Thoughts

As soon as I heard 74.239 say that I had leave

Deep down inside my heart began to grieve

The memories of my team and I on our missions, fill my head

While my eyes filled with tears; both becoming red

With this nifty new outfit, my mission won't be complete

Until I hear our scientist explain what has to come into defeat

Out there in space, is adult tyranny waiting to be fought

Instead of two parents, or four, some kids have a lot

I didn't understand why I was so special, until I was told

I was a clean slate, and learning about other planets; a move that was very bold

Infected with a disease, one that's well known on earth as adulthood

As I hear, the situations out there didn't sound very good

I was chosen out of all, to save the universe out in space

Now I was willing to go, if that was the case

In my glowing space ship shaped like a large snack

I say "I understand, just tell me when I'll be coming back"

I won't ever be coming back, as 74.239 replied

Just hearing that made my body bleed inside

Not ever getting the chance to see my friends again, and say my goodbye

As the pain began to sank in, while making my mouth dry

I see our scientist point out from the side, a state of shock came into mind

"Dad, Mom? What are you doing here?" I thought that I was blind

I couldn't believe what I was hearing, my mom was an operative too

my heart was beating so fast, that was surprised that I didn't turn blue

I saw them standing there, to share some words to me

My father, Numbuh Zero, knelling down to his knees

Both were so proud of me, and saying their farewells

This family moment which was the last; in my memory this will dwell

My mom gave me a hug, then said her words

My eyes filled with tears and my vision was burred

My dad came up to me, and said a wonderful salute

I remember our mission together, which was really quite a hoot

Now it was time... time to leave out there

Leaving without a trace to my friends, in my mind that was quite unfair

I began to climb up the steps towards my ship then something made me stop

I began to hear screaming; and that's when my team showed up

I smiled, and then I frowned

My team was stopped by others; nearly to the ground

I pleaded to say my goodbyes, and then the scientist agreed

"Just make it quick" I'll be sure to do it with speed

I found out that my tracker is what brought them here

It was a helpful little gadget; one of our normal KND gear

They knew I was leaving, thanks to those nerds

My team began to sputter out their final words

My best friend Hoagie, handing me a bag

Oh, now how I'll miss his constant bad gags

Now things were sad, as he began to cry

But I told him, that I'll always be with him, then we said our goodbyes

Kuki went up to me, playfully asking what we were all gonna do

As others were feeling sad, she wasn't looking very blue

After a bit of talking, it was one of her little tricks

Then things changed, as her eyes welled with tears; hitting me like a ton of bricks

They were gonna miss me, that was something that I knew

After a smooch from Kuki, then came our smallest member right on cue

There was Wally, usually he's always bursting with pride

But when he turned away, I knew the pain is what he was trying to hide

Talking how I had to save people up in Canada, even if he was a bit off

It wasn't like that at all, but I just heard him scoff

He said that if I need the team, that they'll be there for me to help

In the first sign of danger, I'll call them, even if all I let out is a yelp

Then there was Numbuh Five, Abigail is what she's called

I remember her back in the days, when I was young, and not bald

I gave her my sunglasses to be the new leader, but she went aghast

Her eyes welling with tears, and having a hard time to let go of the past

There was no choice for her, I knew that she had common sense

From her eyes her tears came falling down, and sadness that was very intense

She managed to utter "But it won't be Sector V without you''

Yes it will, I'll always be with them, and I'll also miss you too

Now it was my time to go, as father was beginning to barge in

My team defeated him, even if it wasn't an easy win

But now he's back, ready to show his fury

I'd better go I thought, we'd all better scurry

My team surrounded me, all hand to hand

I left them with words, easy for anyone to understand

All of them looked at me as I said the final words from my tongue

The simple words I left for them is to never grow up and to stay young...
