Summary: Hoagie P. Gilligan Jr. reflects on his own life, and realises something is missing... (First fanfic)

Thoughts are written in Italics.

Chapter 1
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hoagie, or Numbuh 2 for his friends, lay on his bed, listening to music. Ever since his 13th birthday, no less than 3 days ago, his life had dramatically changed.
He had suddenly realised he was going to eat himself to death, should he keep up with his current eating habits.
He tried his best at losing weight, and his mother, seeing him struggle with something her son had never worried about before in his life, had taken him apart, and had a conversation with him.

Now, lying on his bed, Hoagie thought back to the so-called "motherly advice".

Flashback

"Hoagie dear, could I have a word with you?" his mother had asked him, when he had came back from school.
"What about mum?" he asked her with a sigh. Since he turned 13, he found out life at school was harder that it had seemed before. He had no friends, today he failed a test which he didn't knew they had, he still felt way to fat and the girl he was thinking about constantly had not been at school today, because she had to attend to the funeral of her fathers uncle.

All in all a darn bad day.

(( Of course, since his 13th birthday was only 4 days ago, he had only been decommissioned for 4 days, and had forgotten everything that had happened from the moment he joined the KND. Which in turn is the reason for him forgetting (and failing) that test. Oh, and the girl he's in love with? You'll see.. eventually ))

"Its about your weight problem dear. I never knew you worried about such a thing before, and as I remember correctly, you never have done so.." his mother said straight to the point.
"I know mum, its just... I don't feel happy the way I look now." he finished his sentence.

That was not the reason tho.. or at least, not the entire reason. He DID want to lose weight for his own health, but mostly because the girl he fancied did not like chubby boys. She liked her boys with just enough body to not be blow away by the wind.
His mother knew he was lying, but understood he did not want to talk about it, and respected his choice. "Well dear, know that I am all ways here for you, even if you don't want to talk."

End of Flashback

Hoagie got off his bed, and went down the stairs. He knew the front door was locked, and therefore he had to take the back door, which was located in the kitchen. As he passed the fridge, he was struggling with himself. Walk on or stop and dig in. After a few moments, his brain gained control of his actions, and he quickly walked out the door.
As he walked on the side walk, he hugged himself for warmth. He had left his house without a coat, and it was high-autumn. He shivered underneath his blue shirt (( Yes, his appearance is exactly the same. Geez, he's only like, 3 years older. ))

Once he reached the corner, he turned left without even thinking, and thus wandered into the street where his crush lived. At the far end of the street, a car pulled up and parked on the parking lane in front of the garage. Out of the car came 4 people, which were all wearing black clothes. In one of them he recognised his crush! Quickly he duck behind a bush, and all he heard of them before the front door of their house closed was:
"Abby is glad to be home..."
