Kaelynne sat cross-legged beneath a tree, pretty bored with her life. She had just come home from school and was already done with her homework when, out of nowhere, the portal appeared.
Naturally a curious girl, Kaelynne grabbed her backpack and purse and stepped through it.
Kaelynne reappeared outside of a giant mansion, orange and red, somewhat reminiscent of the Taj Mahal. Kaelynne grabbed her stuff again and headed inside. She went to knock on the door, but to her surprise the door opened on its own. The source of said door opening was five children.
Each children looked different from the other and had at least one dignifying trait. The blond girl (Ashley) had long, sandy blond hair and a pink ribbon. The short brunette (Constance) had short brown hair pulled into braided pigtails and dark-rimmed glasses. The tallest boy (David) had brown hair that fell over his eyes. The shorter blond-haired boy (Bruce) had blond hair cut into a pudding bowl haircut. The last child (Lenny) had his face wrapped in a red football helmet, and tanner skin than his comrades. Every kid wore a blue school uniform and had piercing, icy blue eyes.
When Kaelynne put two and two together, she mentally panicked. "What the-? How did-? What am I doing here?!" she finally managed to say, her jaw dropping almost to the floor.
The Delightful Children from Down the Lane glared at her in sync. "We should be asking you the same thing," they said in their usual synchronized monotone. Kaelynne took a step back and stepped on the tail of a pure white cat, which had a pink ribbon on adorned with a silver bell. Its eyes were the same color as that of the Delightful Children.
Kaelynne picked up the cat and pet it in apology, and it purred contentedly. "Have...you guys been trying to delightfulize animals?" she asked, and the Delightful Children shrugged.
"We've certainly been trying," Ashley said, and Kaelynne was so shocked she dropped her purse.
"OK OK OK, now I know I've walked into another dimension. You guys are capable of free movement and speech now?" she asked in shocked.
Lenny replied by rubbing his arm with his hand. "Yeah...we don't really like doing it when Father and the Kids Next Door are around," he said, an unnoticeable blush rising in his cheeks.
"Um...while you're here, would you like to come in?" Ashley asked, waving her hand to their open abode. Kaelynne eyed them curiously.
"I dunno, guys...you're the shadiest villains in the Kids Next Door universe," she said. "How do I know I can trust you?"
"Come on!" Constance practically whined. "We only attack Kids Next Door operatives, of which you are not. You can trust us!"
Kaelynne rolled her eyes and decided to play along. "OK, fine. You win, Delightful Dorks," she said, and followed the DCFDTL into their mansion.
