WOW, WOW, WOW! Oo….it's been forever since I've but anything up here. Forgive me for being so MIA, some things came up.
OKAY! So, a few notes before you start reading….
In this story, adult, teens, and children are on the same page. They're allies not enemies. So, you may be wondering, "Who are the enemies?" The answer, is the….THE NEGATIVES! (which will become more clear a little later in the story)
Also, even though children, adults, and teens work together. The head of the A.N.D (Adults Next Door) runs over all of them.
And while this may not make sense now, it will once you start reading! ;) And I think you all are going to enjoy this as much as I enjoyed thinking it up!
FINALLY! I would like to dedicate this story to a friend of mine. A fellow Panda Warrior, FlirtyKuki101 b/c she is a wonderful friend who is very creative, sweet, and nice. She's been a fan of my stories for a long time and she is makes the most awesome avatars, signatures, and captions! She's made many avatar/signature gifts for me, so this story is dedicated to her. THANK YOU FK101!
Now, without further ado, here's this new story…ENJOY!
Note: The story is set in modern day times and in the city of Cleveland. The main characters will also age with the story.

Kids, teens, and adults all across the nation stared at their televisions anxiously. This was a big day in KND, TND, and AND history! The leader, supreme commander, and legendary hero of the KND, Money Uno, aka Numbuh Zero, was awaiting the birth of his child, the one who would be his successor and, in time, take his position as the leader of the AND, who would rule over the KND, TND, and AND. A reporter was in the waiting room of Ghallager Hospital.
"We are coming to you live from Ghallager Hospital awaiting the birth of AND Supreme Commander Monty Uno's new child. This is a very special occasion today and we are very lucky to be sharing this day with Monty Uno and his family and…" Suddenly, an African American doctor with an afro emerged from the birthing room.
"Oh! Here's' Dr. Lincoln! Dr. Lioncoln, Dr. Lincoln! How is the birthing going?" The reporter asked.
"Well, the patient has been in there for quite some time with the heavy breathing, and the pushing, and the sweating and the strain and the labor…and …d-oh you know what I'm talking about the pain and screaming bud-e-bu-a-goo.."
"Yes, yes Dr. Lincoln! But what about the child? And Monty Uno?"
"Oh yes…well…" Just then, the door opened and a five year old red haired boy with glasses and a bowl-shaped haircut burst through the door.
"He's here! He's here! Numbuh Zero said we can show him now!" He said excitedly. Dr. Lioncoln smiled and nodded as his daughter came up from behind the boy.
"Thank you Numbuh 101." He said. The younger African American girl, also about five years old dressed in a doctor's coat and with her hair pulled back in a pony tail with a red cap on her head, came out and stood by her father with a small bundle in her arms.
"Daddy! Daddy! Can I tell them?" She asked.
"Of course you can dear with the news for everyone that is so good and goo, da goo…" The little girl rolled her eyes at her father until the reporter came up to her.
"Little Abigail Lincoln, everyone knows that you may be a prodigy to your father's work." She said.
"Yes ma'am!" Abby said happily. The little bundle in her arms cooed happily and reached up to grab at Abby's finger as she tickled him. The reporter spoke again.
"Would you do the honors of announcing to the whole nation watching, exactly who you are holding in your arms here?"
"Ok!" Abby said happily. She held the baby up for the camera-man, reporter, and all of the audience across the nation to see.
"This….is Nigel Uno. Monty Uno's and Sally Uno's son…the one day future Supreme Commander of the Kids Next Door, Teens Next Door, and then ultimately the Adults Next Door!" She beamed proudly. The little baby looked around curiously at the new world surrounding him. The reporter smiled and tickled the baby too.
"He certainly is a cutie." She said softly, and then turned to the camera-man.
"And there you have it! We have been here present and live to witness the birthing of our future." She said. Just then, a 20 year old Monty Uno emerged from the room where his wife had been, looking rather worn out, himself. Also his right hand looked purple from where Sally Uno had been squeezing it during her labor.
"Mr. Uno! How do you and your wife feel about bringing new life into this world?" She asked. Monty smiled, tiredly.
"It was amazing. My wife and I are very excited and…the actual birthing itself was just miraculous. I've never seen…" He grew speechless as he smiled down at his son. He then took him from Abby.
"He's so small, and tiny…but I know, Sally and I both know that he is destined for great things." He said. The reporter smiled and nodded.
"Do you have any special plans for the boy yourself?"
"To train him to become a great ruler for the benefit of our followers. Also, Sally and I have decided that in about five years, we will have a special ceremony for him on moonbase, so we hope everyone can come." He said, smiling at the camera. The reporter turned to the camera man.
"You heard it hear folks, mark your calendars! Five years from now on this day in KND, TND, & AND history, there will be a special ceremony for our future Supreme Commander. This is a national invite and hopefully everyone will attend! Coming to you live from Ghallager hospital, this has been AND Sarah Groves, Operative Numbuh 173 with Channel Ten Action News!" She said. With that, the cameraman zoomed in on little baby Uno as the image on screens nation wide began to fade out. This was, indeed, a special day for everyone.
five years later
A geeky figure was sitting in his mansion scowling and the family portrait above him. He frowned as the older person in the image appeared to pay more attention to the oldest of the two children there. He scoffed.
"It's not fair." He said.
"I've dedicated the best years of my life to trying to make my father happy and for what? So he can toss me aside like a rag doll?! Now that blad headed nuisance is born and he has taken my place as next in line to rule? UGH!" He cried, ripping the painting down and throwing it on the ground.
"I'm in this family too! Why won't he pay attention to me?! Why can't anything EVER go MY WAY! ARRGGHH!" He cried angrily. Suddenly, he heard a whiney voice behind him, someone entered his domain.
"Ya know, you keep talking to yourself like that people are going to think your crazy." He said. Ben Uno rolled his eyes.
"What do you want Numbuh 101?" He asked. The red haired, whiny boy with purple glasses and a purple jacket bowed.
"I'm here to announce that Supreme Commander Numbuh Zero is on his way over here to see you. So you'd better have a good excuse for missing Young Nigel Uno's fifth birthday ceremony this morning!" He said. Ben rolled his eyes and sighed, feeling rather agitated.
"Ohhhh…great. ….Look Matt, you've given me a headache." He cried dramatically, slumping down in a cushiony chair behind him.
"Do you happen to have any Head-On that I can apply directly to my forehead?" He asked. Matt walkd up so he was directly in front of Father.
"Ha-ha! Very funny! Listen, you'll have more than a headache when Numbuh Zero gets finished with you! He's as mad as a rampaging and rabid Rainbow Monkey who doesn't get a Friendly Friend Rainbow Monkey Goodbye Hug before you leave. And that's pretty livid." The younger boy said, folding his arms and looking away. Ben frowned and his anger caused him to take on his shadow form. He became a dark black all over and a fire ball formed in his hand.
"There's no way he could be as angry as I am now." He said, warming up the fire ball as he stared at Matt. Matt grew confused at this statement.
"What are you…?" He started, until he turned and saw that Ben had changed his appearance. This wasn't uncommon, nor was it a big shock. This usually happened when Ben was very agitated or upset about something; it was just always wise to avoid Ben when he got like this…which, unfortunately, was not the case for Matt today.
"Oh no…not your Father form again! Stop looking at me like that Ben! AHH!" He cried, trying to run away. Ben threw the fire ball, singing Matt's long, purple coat. Matt cried out in pain as he rolled onto the ground and grabbed at the burn wound on his arm. Ben then sprung up and grabbed Matt by the collar, slamming him against a wall. Matt cried out in pain as Ben held him there. He had another fire ball in his hand, ready to throw directly in Matt's faced until his features burned and melted like wax. Yeah, he was that mad…and he couldn't stand looking at Matt right now.
"First of all…when have I ever given you the right to call me Ben? No one can call me that! It's Father to you! Secondly, how DARE you come into my home thinking you can judge me and my actions!" He said, rearing back his hand with the fireball to burn the poor boy squirming in his hands. Matt gulped.
"C-c'mon Ben! ...Don't do this…I-I mean…" He started, when the two heard another, firmer voice from behind Father.
"BEN!" Ben/Father, dropped his head and gave an exasperated sigh. He turned to see Monty standing in his doorway with his arms folded.
"NUMBUH ZERO SIR!" Matt cried happily with a smile on his face.
"Jus time, and not a moment to spare! One of the reasons I admire you sir!" He
added with glee. Monty ignored Matt for the time being and narrowed his eyes at Ben.
"Drop him." He said. Father rolled his eyes and dropped Matt who fell to the
ground with a thud.
"Ow! My backside!" He cried. He frowned at Father.
"How about a little gentler next time?!" He asked. Father gave him an angry look and Matt raced behind his leader/hero. Father stepped up to Monty and began to circle him in a predatory manner, powering down from his "Father" identity and going back to being Ben.
"Well, well, well…if it isn't my big brother who's come to hang out with us lower status operatives." He said, before walking off to a table where he normally filled his pipe. Monty spoke,
"Sally and I didn't see you at Nigel's ceremony today." He said. Ben faked a surprised gasp.
"That was today? Oh! Forgive me dear brother, I feel simply awful!" He said, fixing his pipe before blowing a puff of smoke into the air. Matt coughed.
"You know they say smoking is bad for you and second hand smoking is worse!" He announced smartly. Ben just looked at him before turning his attention back to Monty and smirking. He continued.
"Sorry big brother, it must have just, slipped my mind." He said with a shrug. Matt, feeling a bit braver now, stepped out and around from behind Monty.
"Yes, well as slippery as your mind is…as the supreme commander's brother, you should have been the first person there!" He said. Ben, growing agitated at Matt, through another tiny fireball his way, this time singing his pants. Matt panicked and dusted the fire away before scampering behind Monty again. Ben walked up to Matt and squatted so he was on his level. He then made his face take on his Father form to scare Matt even more. He spoke,
"I would have been the first one there, if that little brat hadn't been born." He said, getting close to Matt's face. Monty reached down and grabbed Ben by the collar, pulling him so they were face to face. Ben made his face geeky and normal again. Monty spoke,
"That brat is my son…and your future leader." He said firmly. Ben pried Monty's fingers off his collar.
"Oh, forgive me! Then I shall go and practice my courtesy your majesty." He said, in a mocking voice while faking a bow before turning his back on his brother and walking away. Monty grew furious.
"Don't turn your back on me Ben!" He cried. Ben chuckled.
"Why big brother, if I do say so myself, I should think it is you who watch your back." He said. Monty growled, sensing there was a deeper meaning behind what sounded like a threat. He stomped up to Ben and grabbed him by the front of his shirts with both hands again.
"You know, this is my favorite shirt. I don't know why you're so rough." Ben said, nonchalantly.
"Can it Ben! What was that you just said…a threat? A challenge? You better watch what you say to me!" Monty cried. Ben, again, removed Monty's hands and dusted his shirt off.
"Temper, temper, big brother. I wouldn't dare dream of challenging you." He said.
"Yeah! Because you know you would lose to the great and powerful, amazingly awesome and cool Numbuh Zero!" Matt cried. Ben frowned and hit Matt in the head.
"Ow!" Matt cried. Ben stooped down to his level.
"Let's get one thing straight shorty. My big brother may think that he's tougher than me in strength…but I'm the one with the brains in this family." He said. Matt shivered and scooted back away from Ben. Ben stood up straight and addressed his brother.
"Now if you'll excuse me, I have some business to attend to." He said, opening the door so the two can leave. Monty and Matt made their way to the exit. Monty addressed Ben before stepping out of the door.
"I'm watching you Ben." He said. Ben looked at him with equal intensity.
"Wouldn't have it any other way…Big Brother." He said. With that, he closed the door in Monty's face. Monty and Matt stood there for a while.
"Man…no offence Numbuh Zero sir, but I think your brother has issues! I mean, he's really weird and a bit demented." Matt said, turning to leave. Monty sighed and followed his right hand man…er…kid. Monty may have been 25 and Matt may have been 10, but Matt still had the mentality of a mature adult, even if he acted like a major fanboy. Plus, Monty owed him a few favors, so he appointed the somewhat annoying yet dedicated little boy as his right hand kid.
"Numbuh 101, what am I going to do with him? He didn't used to be like that." Monty said, worriedly looking back at Ben's mansion. Matt looked up in thought for a moment and smiled.
"I've got it! Turn him into a throw rug!" He said happily. Monty gave an amused, yet confused grin.
"Excuse me?" He said, shoving his hands in his pocket as he and Matt left the premises.
"No, seriously! Just here me out, okay sir? See then, whenever Ben gets dirty, you can take him out and beat him!" He said. Monty thought on that for a moment before laughing as he and Matt headed back to their headquarters.
