Howdy peeps! Just so y'all know, I've never ever in my life written a Codename: Kids Next Door fic, so don't pounce on me the first chance ya get, kay? Also I'm not into romance fics, tho that doesn't mean I don't enjoy reading some of them. That means this won't have any 3/4, 1/5 etc. stuff in it. You could prolly tell by the title. AND, it focuses on my muse/fan chara, so if you only like fics with just people from KND, don't flame me fer this. See bottom for another quick note. I hate thinking up titles for chapters. AND another thing, this supposedly takes place a little bit after Kez is supposed to join the Kids Next Door. Still haven't worked that out yet, so just pretend you know what's going on. Yes. So, enjoy, like that'll happen. And errr...you don't really need to know what Kez looks like, do ya? Maybe I'll do a bio if I need ta. Email me if you care. XP

Wait a sec. No DISCLAIMER!?!! Gasp! Well, who better to do the disclaimer than Kez, me muse?

Kez: (pops in) What am I doing here?!?! AGH! (panic)

Settle down. Sheesh. You're doing the disclaimer.

Kez: But...But I need to be filling your head with lotsa ideers for this fic. You do the spooty disclaimer. I'm busy.

WAH! . NO ON LOVES ME!!

Kez: Well then, Husky/Washu does not own Codename: Kids Next Door; Mr. Warburton does. Hey, who's he?

Dur, the guy who owns Kids Next Door.

Kez: I knew that.

Of course you did.

Kez: On with the fic that I am so tediously working on! ...wow, did I use that big word all by myself?? O_O

A Quick Game of Chess

Kez sat in her dog house at the KND treehouse. She was working on a (bad) picture of Dib, herself, Zim and Keef being nice to each other and singing something (let's just say she watches the show ^^). She grinned at how cute and positive the sketch was, until she realized that she had nothing to color it with. She pondered how to raise the money to buy some Prismacolors when her thoughts were interrupted by a knocking on the door. She sighed, put the drawing in a folder next to her Inflatey Bed and answered the door. Numbuh 3 stood there, waving.

Numbuh 3: Hi, Numbuh -93! Wanna play some Chess??

She held up a box of chess pieces and a board above her head.

Kez: Yeah, okay!

Numbuh 3: Let's go up to my room! (peers inside) It doesn't look like you have a lot of space in there, Numbuh -93.

Kez: o.o I thought no one would ever notice.

Numbuh 3: Come on!

Kuki grabbed Kez by the wrist and dragged her into the treehouse, up the long staircase and into her room.

Numbuh 3's room was something else. It seemed like there was no room to sit, let alone play a game of chess. Stuffed animals and toys covered most of the floor, some piled up to the ceiling. The number "3" was painted on a lot of them. Kuki lead Kez to a fairly clear spot in front of her biggest plushie.

Numbuh 3: We'll play here!

She cheerfully set the board down and dumped the wooden pieces into a pile off to the side. Kez was a bit surprised that it was actually a nice polished Chess board; it didn't appear to be made by kids. Numbuh 3 began setting up her white tokens (?) while Kez placed her black ones on her side. Numbuh 3 looked like she was having a bit of trouble, though. She was putting the pieces everywhere.

Kez: ^_^; You want some help there, Three?

Numbuh 3: Nah, I got it!

After a few minutes, and with some aid from Kez, the two were ready to play their game.

Kez: You can go first.

Numbuh 3: All right!

She picked up the pawn on her left and moved it two spaces forward.

Numbuh 3: You're turn! ^-^

Kez moved her right pawn up two spaces to meet hers. Kuki slid her rook up behind the pawn.

Kez: This is looking far too familiar. *pathetic sigh*

Kez moved the pawn (second from her right) next to her first one. Kuki, smiling as always, pushed her rook to her right one space.

Kez: (thinkin') I can't believe she did that! Is she meaning to leave her pawn open?

With a thrust of her left arm into the air, Numbuh -93 took her second pawn and shoved the white token off the space.

Kez: Mwahaha! I have conquered your puny pawn.with my own puny pawn! Aha!

Kuki slid her rook down to Kez's knight and took it off the board. Numbuh -93, left arm still in the air, stared.

Kez: What the.

Numbuh 3: Yaaay! I win!

She grabbed the black knight, bounced up and began dancing around the room. Kez snapped out of her stupor and watched the Japanese girl prance about her stuffed animals.

Numbuh 3: I win! I win! I win! ^___^

Kez: Uhm, Numbuh 3, you don't win by ca-

Numbuh 3: I wiiinnnnn! Nnnnn!

Kez: Numbuh 3, your goal is to capture my king, not a knight.

Kuki froze, mid-step.

Numbuh 3: You mean, I'm s'posed to get the tall guy, not the horsey?

She gazed down at the piece in her hand and gazed at it for a while. Kez looked on, anxious.

Numbuh 3: I got the Night Horse! Yaaaay! (begins dancing again)

Kez: -.-; (starts putting the game away)

Numbuh 3: (still jumping around the room) Thanks for playing chess with me, Numbuh -93!

Kez: No prob. I'm gonna go, okay, Numbuh 3?

Numbuh 3: (petting the top of the knight's head) Lalalalala...

Kez hurried out of the cheerful girl's bedroom, shut the door behind her and sighed.

Kez: Sometimes I wonder.

She headed down the hall to the meeting room.

I know you're thinking, "#$%*@ chapter was only three lines long!" You lie. This was mainly meant as an introduction, I guess. I actually, don't know. And about that "Numbuh -93" thing.don't ask. Just. Don't ask. 'Cause I frankly don't know. ^_^ Support is greatly accepted! Flames will be used to char-broil bacon!!!
