Seeing her own breath emit from her lips in a small white fog a young girl who looked to be ten adjusted her black tie around her neck. It was late in the fall and winter was just around the corner. The sun had begun to set, but was still halfway in the sky causing the world around her to glow a mix of orange and yellow. She was walking home from the library, having been there all afternoon. Reading was a favorite pastime of hers. She just loved opening up a new book and getting lost in its pages.
As the young girl walked along the sidewalk with a book in her hand a gentle breeze had blown her light blonde pigtails behind her. She shivered, noticing it was getting colder. She would be home soon enough though and could warm up with a nice hot meal. Though that plan would would have to wait a bit. After she had left the library she had only made it about a block before a hand reached out and pulled her into a dark alley, startling her. Even though it was dark she could still make out the man before her. He wore a dark blue suit, purple gloves and boots, and large braces. Reaching into his pockets the girl thought he was going to pull out a knife or some other type of weapon, but was confused when she saw a red toothbrush in his hand. She tried to push him away as he tried to bring the toothbrush to her mouth.
"Quit it!" She cried, getting annoyed with the man, who for some reason wanted to brush her teeth in the middle of a dark alley.
"At it again, huh Knightbrace?" a British voice spoke.
Both the girl and the man apparently named Knightbrace turned their heads to see a boy who was bald, wore glasses, and sported a red turtleneck sweater. He stood proudly with his arms crossed. Suddenly a frown formed on his face and he began giving out orders.
"Numbuh 3 get the girl out of there!"
"Okkie dokkie!"
Next thing she knew a girl with long raven hair in a oversized green sweater swung down with a rope tied to a light pole and grabbed her before swinging back up onto the pole. The blonde quickly wrapped her arms around the girl to make sure she wouldn't fall making the raven giggle.
"Numbuh 4 and Numbuh 5 now!"
Watching from above the girl saw a blonde boy in a orange hoodie and a dark skinned girl with a dark brown braid wearing a dark blue shirt surrounding Knightbrace. They shot some weird looking guns at him and instead of bullets it looked to be taffy. You would think that the man would be upset, but he seemed quite ecstatic to have the sticky treat. Guess even oral hygiene villains had a sweet tooth.
"Numbuh 2 get us out of here!"
Feeling the wind pick up greatly the girl looked up in surprise to see a ship hovering above them with a rope ladder hanging down from it.
"Come on!" the raven replied excitedly urging the blonde to follow her.
After a brief moment of hesitation she decided to just board the ship. She knew these were kids from the Kids Next Door and knew she could trust them.
"Man that was close" the girl in the red hat exclaimed. "We rescued her just in time."
"Indeed we did" the leader agreed. "It's a good thing we were flying by."
"I um.." the girl shyly greeted. "Thank you for saving me back there."
Everyone turned to fully look at the girl they had just rescued. She had on a long sleeve white blouse with a yellow sweater vest over it, a black skirt, a black tie, and black and white boots.
"It's our job" the bald Brit smiled. "There's no need to thank us."
"So are you like new around here?" Numbuh 2 questioned, looking over his shoulder for a moment as he was driving.
"Yeah I just recently came here from Ireland."
"Ireland? Have you ever seen a leprechaun?" Numbuh 3 asked innocently.
"No, but I can guarantee you that I've seen a few drunk people in my town."
"So what's your name anyway?" Numbuh 4 questioned, sitting in one of the seats on the ship.
"Oh sorry allow me introduce myself. My name is Kaitlyn Ross and what might your names be?"
"I am Nigel and these are my friends and teammates Hoagie, Kuki, Wally, and Abigail" Numbuh 1 said as he introduced everyone.
"Nice to meet you" Kaitlyn smiled.
She felt amazed to have five members of the Kids Next Door before her. Like every other child on the planet she had heard of the organization of kids that fought evil adults. She wondered if she should join..
"Numbuh 1!" Numbuh 5 called, getting the leader's attention. "I'm getting a call from Numbuh 362 herself! She wants us at moonbase, now!"
"You heard her Numbuh 2! Sent a course for the moon!"
"What about Kaitlyn? the child pilot questioned.
"We have no choice. We'll just have to take her with us."
Next thing Kaitlyn knew the ship began flying straight up instead of forward. Were they really going to take her to the moonbase? She wasn't an operative so obviously she's never been there before, but thought it would be really cool if she could go there one day. Looks like today was the day. Her green eyes widened in amazement seeing all the stars around them. She always did find space finally parked their ship with the other vehicles before getting out.
"Whoa.." Kaitlyn replied in amazement as she glanced around.
"Numbuh 362! Sir!" Numbuh 1 greeted with a salute. "We came as soon as we could."
"Good to see you guys" the supreme leader herself smiled as she approached them. "I have a mission for you regarding the Delightful Children."
"The Delightful Children?" Kaitlyn wondered out loud, wondering who they were talking about.
Turning her head the supreme leader looked at Kaitlyn in confusion.
"I'm sorry I don't think we've met. Are you a new operative by any chance?"
"No I'm not in the Kids Next Door. I just kinda ended up tagging along with these guys."
"She was with us when you called" Numbuh 5 explained. "We rescued her from Knightbrace and didn't really have a choice, but to bring her along."
"I understand" Numbuh 362 nodded. "Now about the Delightful Children some of our spy operatives discovered that they are planning to destroy all the arcades in the world to stop kids from wasting time playing video games."
"What?!" Numbuh 4 shouted. "They can't do that!"
"I need you to infiltrate the Delightful Children's mansion and put a stop to their plans before they even have a chance to start them. Here's a blueprint of where it should be located" Numbuh 362 replied giving Numbuh 1 the rolled up blue paper.
"Can I come?"
All eyes turned to Kaitlyn in surprise.
"But you aren't an operative Kaitlyn" Numbuh 3 pointed out.
"I know, but I want to see what actually being in the Kids Next Door is like. Maybe I'll consider joining myself."
"I'm sorry, but this is a mission for real operatives only" Numbuh 362 replied. "If you're interested in joining the Kids Next Door though I can have you meet with Numbuh 60 and he can help you with your training."
This was her chance. If she wanted to be part of the greatest organization for kids she had to jump on the offer while she was still ten. You weren't a kid forever and before she knew it she would be thirteen. It was clear what her answer would be.
"So when do I start?"
~~~~~~~~
Soon after Sector V had dropped Kaitlyn off at her house. She was a bit disappointed she couldn't see her new friends in action, but was even more excited to attend her new school the next day. Unlike most kids she actually enjoyed learning. It was where the nerd in her came alive.
Once dinner was over Kaitlyn had did the dishes like her parents asked before heading upstairs to read before falling asleep. She was so excited though that she could barely get any rest. Luckily she was able to get some sleep at least.
~~~~~~~~
"Hello Kaitlyn."
Kaitlyn was making her way to school when she heard a voice greet her from behind. Turning she smiled seeing who it was.
"Hi Nigel. It's great to see you again."
Catching up to her the two kids began talking together while walking along the sidewalk.
"I spoke with both Numbuh 362 and Numbuh 60 and they said that you can training right after school if you're interested."
"Of course I'm interested!" Kaitlyn exclaimed. "I can't wait to get started!"
"That's the attitude of a great future operative right there" Numbuh 1 smirked.
Smiling, Kaitlyn saw that they finally arrived and was glad to have Numbuh 1 show her around. She was even more glad to hear she had the same class as him along with the other four operatives she had met last night.
"Kaitlyn!" Numbuh 3 yelled excitedly before running to give her a hug.
"It's nice to see you too Kuki" Kaitlyn replied, returning the kind gesture.
Blinking she looked to see five unique looking kids enter the classroom. The boys wore the same thing which consisted of a dark blue suit with red ties and the girls wore white sailor like dresses with light blue scarfs. They paid Kaitlyn and Sector V no attention as they made their way to their desk. That's right desk. They all sat at the same seat for some reason. Weird.
"Hey, who are they?" Kaitlyn questioned, motioning towards the children.
"Those are the Delightful Dorks" Numbuh 5 frowned.
"You mean the Delightful Children that you fought last night? They go to school here?"
"Unfortunately" Numbuh 2 sighed.
"They are one of our worst enemies" Numbuh 1 replied. "They can't be trusted."
"They're a bunch of freaks" Numbuh 4 added.
Looking back over at the Delightful Children Kaitlyn didn't really think that they looked like freaks. I mean yeah they seemed to move in sync, but Kaitlyn wasn't one to judge. Realizing that if she was going to become an KND operative and would maybe end up battling against them she thought that maybe she would introduce herself after class and officially meet them. Might seem a little strange to just walk up to your future enemies and say hello to them, but Kaitlyn didn't care. She was going to do it anyway.
So once class was over and everyone piled out of the room Kaitlyn searched for the direction that the Delightful Children had went and found them standing in front of their large locker that they obviously shared. Ignoring her new friends telling her not to go over there she walked right up and tapped the sandy blonde girl on the shoulder. They all turned to face Kaitlyn and they instantly gave her mixed expressions that showed confusion and slight annoyance.
"May we help you?" the Delightful Children questioned, wondering what this girl wanted from them.
"Uh hi there" Kaitlyn awkwardly replied, beginning to lose her confidence a little. "My name is Kaitlyn. What are your names?"
"Why should we tell you our names?"
"You don't have to. I...I just thought I would introduce myself since I'm new and we share the same class together."
Staring at this girl in front of them the Delightful Children thought that maybe telling her their names wouldn't be so bad. She was nice enough to tell them her name and they didn't see why they couldn't tell her theirs. They may be evil, but they tried not to be too rude too often. They did have manners.
"Our names are Bruce, Ashley, David, Lenny, and Ogie" they relied.
"It's nice to meet you guys" Kaitlyn smiled, offering her hand for them to shake.
Hesitating for a moment Bruce reached his hand out and shook her hand.
"Likewise Kaitlyn.."
~Interrupt Transmission~
Yay! So Kaitlyn has met both Sector V and the Delightful Children. Wonder what exciting adventures she will have with them. Guess you'll just have to wait and see. I hope you enjoyed the first chapter. I will try and update when I can. Until next time this is Numbuh 820 signing off.
