Quick Author's Note:
Summary:
Couples: I'd love to warn you about what couples you'll be reading about but then that ruins my mini suspense I hope I have going. I can tell you 1x362 with minor Lizzie bashing is involved though. Obviously 3x4. All the other ones, you'll have to read for yourself if you want to know. [=

-A hand reached over and pressed down on the snooze button-
The hand belonged to a girl named Kuki Sanban. She was Number Three from Sector V of the Kids Next Door. She always awoke with a smile on her face even in a grouchy mood. Don't let the smile catch you off guard. She could still be in a grouchy mood. Today was an extra exciting day for her. Her older cousin, Kimiko Sanban, was arriving with family over. Kuki jumped out of her bed happily and approached her closets for a change of clothes. She thought today would be a special occasion so she dressed up a little differently, plus outside was hot.
Walking into the living room she smiled once again. There, in front of the T.V., were two boys playing a racing game rather vigorously.
"Wotch out! Numbah Four's in da lead!" shouted Number Four aka Wallabee Beetles. Wally wore an orange hoodie and blue jeans. His hair was blonde and had a bowl cut style. His emerald green eyes were fixed on the T.V. with determination to win. Nothing was going to stop him from winning that match. He was one win away from…winning for the first time since they've bought that game…
"Morning boys!" chimed in Number Three.
"Morning Kuki" "Mornin' Kook..s.."
Wally, distracted by Kuki's entrance, followed her with his eyes as she skipped down to the kitchen.
"Not anymore you aren't!" shouted back Number Two aka Hoagie Gilligan. Hoagie wore an aviator's hat, with flying goggles covering his eyes. He was wearing a blue collar shirt and brown pants. His brown hair was hidden under the hat.
"Wait whaa!" In a flash, Wally turned back to the T.V. screen to see a huge "LAST PLACE" on his side of the screen.
Meanwhile, approaching the kitchen, Kuki saw her other two teammates. Number One was wearing a red polo shirt with short sleeves and khaki shorts. His head, still bald, wore sunglasses to hide his eyes from his teammates. He was currently sitting at the table reading the front page news and drinking his cup of hot chocolate. Across the table was Number Five reading the daily comics, but she was drinking chocolate milk instead. Number Five wore her favorite red hat and blue shirt with a white stripe. It was long enough to cover the shorts she was wearing.
"Morning guys!" Kuki smiled as she skipped her way for a bowl from the cupboard. After grabbing milk from the fridge, the box of rainbow monkey cereal and a spoon, she sat at the side of the table and began eating.
A crash could be heard coming from the living room.
"I want a rematch!"
"No! I won fair and square!"
"We'll see if you still won fair and circles after you meet my fist of rectangles!"
"I bet you can't even spell rectangles!"
"I bet you I can! R-3-t-4-m-q-i-a-c! Rectangles!"
Back in the kitchen,
"Morning Number Three." Both spoke in sync.
"Number Three, Number Five likes your outfit you're wearing." Number Five said, while skimming her up and down then returning back to her comics.
Number One took one look and asked with a smirk on his face.
"Has Number Four seen it?"
"Of course he has, Einstein. It was the quietest 33 seconds in this tree house since Number Two and him started playing their video game"
"Speaking of time, what time is it?" asked Number One aka Nigel Uno.
"It's almost 11 AM, Number Five thinks." Replied Number Five aka Abigail Lincoln.
"Oh no! I'm going to be late. Today family from the bay is coming over! I gotta go guys! Bye!" Kuki, gulping down the sugary milk, and leaving the bowl in the sink, ran in haste to the bathroom. She quickly brushed of her teeth. After finishing up, Kuki rushed out the door.
Sanban Household
Kuki rushed up to the front door. Unlocking it with her keys, she continued to rush into the house.
"Kuki Sanban! Stop running in the house and take off your shoes. Your mother's side of the family will be arriving any minute. Go find your sister too." growled Kuki's father, Kani Sanban.
"Yes Daddy." Kuki replied back.
Kuki, removed her shoes and placed them nicely on the shoe rack, went up the stairs in search of her sister.
"Muuushiiii! Dad said to come down already. Where are you?" Kuki called down the hallway.
"Coming sister. I'm almost ready." Hollered through the door was Kuki's younger sister, Mushi Sanban. Mushi appeared in the hallway with a light yellow tank top under a light purple v-neck and a light yellow skirt. Her hair was in two pony tails, one on each side.
The two sisters made their way down the stairs.
Genki Sanban, Kuki and Mushi's mom, was waiting down patiently by the stairs.
"Mushi, did you clean up your room like I asked you to?' Genki asked calmly.
"Yes, mommy. All my toys are put away." Mushi mumbled.
"Good good. Before your aunt arrives, I want." Genki started to speak.
"With cousin Kimiko right!' Kuki interrupted.
"Yes, Kuki. But I wanted you both to know that." Genki continued.
"How long are they staying?" Mushi interrupted.
"Girls! Be quiet for just two minutes please." Genki sighed.
"Yes mommy." The Sanban daughters chimed.
"When they arrive, I want you two to be on your best behavior. I also wanted you two to know that." Genki continued.
"Honey, your side of the family is here!" Kani interrupted.
As if on cue, the doorbell rang. Genki, immediately straightened up, walked towards the door and opened it with a "smile" on her face.
On the other side of the door were three people. A Japanese woman named Chiyo was dressed in a black business suit. Next to her was her husband, Akio. He was dressed in a sweater vest and pants. A collar shirt was seen sticking out of the sweater vest. He wore glasses and had a smoking pipe sticking out of his mouth. Behind them, was their daughter, Kimiko, who was taller than them both. She had her jet black hair in a high ponytail. Light makeup covered her face. Her star earring sparkled a bit. She was wearing a blue polo shirt that matched her eyes, a white skirt, and white shoes with blue laces.
The hellos began. One by one were each properly greeted.
Kuki noticed something was odd about the family standing across from her. Mushi beat it to her though when she asked out loud.
"Hey Kimiko, why do you have two suitcases with you for a one day visit?" Mushi asked turning her head to the side a bit.
"Oh, I thought you guys already knew. I'm moving in with you guys for the summer." Kimiko said smiling.
"Girls, that's what I was going to tell you if I didn't keep getting interrupted. Kuki, she's going to stay in your old room. You're always staying out at that other place anyways." Genki spoke.
A room at Moon base
Someone was clicking away on a computer keyboard in the dark. Kid's names and their picture and side information were listed on the screen. The figure in the dark could only be seen by the computer screen's reflection reflecting off their glasses. The list moving was shown on the glasses as the figure skimmed. The figure stopped the skimming and hovered and highlighted the mouse over a specific name. A light chuckle came out of the figure. The figure's hand reached into their pocket before quickly pulling their hand back out. Staying silent, footsteps could be heard outside the room.
In seconds, the door broke down, revealing kids with gumball guns aimed at the dark room. Two operatives dressed differently were first to walk into the room. One was Operative Number 60 dressed in military clothes named Patton Drilovsky. The other was Operative Number 86, Fanny Fulbright, who had her mustard gun out aiming at the room.
"Alright just save us the trouble and have your hands up! We promise to not hurt yeh TOO much!" Shouted Number 86.
Number 60 moved toward the light switch turning on the light. Not leaving his sight on the dark figure blocking the computer.
The lights flickered on and the kids gasped. Blocking the computer was a crash test dummy sitting on the chair.
"Well? What are all you standing here for! You! Get more kids to search the area! We have an intruder! You three! Check this room out! Don't just stand there!" Shouted an angry Number 86.
Number 60, not wasting any more time, ran over to the computers. A pass code had been reset and changed. He grabbed the phone in his pocket. Holding down 1 on speed dial, he waited for an answer.
"Permission to override computers in Room KB, sir!" Number 60 spoke into the phone. A muffled reply responded.
"Intruder in room. A crash test dummy was replaced in their spot. The computer's pass code has been reset, sir!"
A pause.
"Thank you for the override code, sir!"
Number 60 immediately typed it in. Looking at the screen, a horrified expression appeared on his face.
"Why's your face so ugly, Number 60? Finally took off all your makeup?" Number 86 said appearing beside him.
Pointing at the highlighted information on the screen, he spoke into the phone. A gasp could be heard.
"Sir? We have a problem…the intruder seemed to have gotten what he needed…nothing stolen…sort've….they have information that is going to affect us a lot in the future…sir…but first"
"Crud!"
"What's wrong, Number Four?" Abigail asked leaning against Wally's bedroom door frame.
"I saved my money to get Kuki this but I don't know how to give it to her." Wally revealed a silver chain necklace with a silver "K" dangling on the chain.
"Wow. Number Five thinks Number Three would absolutely love this." Number Five said while taking it from his hands.
"Are you giving it to her for her birthday? Or better yet, as a way to maybe ask her out? Abigail asked smiling devilishly, returning back the necklace to Wally.
Wally's cheek turned a light pink.
"Uh…. Cruddy…. Uh… If I knew what I had planned, I wouldn't be like this in the first place!" mumbled Wally. He placed the necklace in a box and stuck it in his jean pocket.
"Well, you have all day to think about it at least. Number Three is gone for the day since family is over." With that said, Abigail left the room.
Wally turned toward the mirror in the room. Taking a glimpse in his reflection, Wally frowned. The necklace was his last way of getting closer to her before it happened. He's been secretly dreading this day coming. He figured it would affect her the most but he hoped he could just see her smile with the necklace. It would be a happy memory for them both, even though, one would forget it ever happened.
In the main room of the tree house:
-Transmission to Sector V-
Nigel stepped up to the screen and accepted the mission. On the other side appeared a blonde girl with a hat on her head with the numbers "362" on it. She was known as Rachel MacFarlane, but to all of KND operatives, she was the Supreme Leader of Kids Next Door.
"Number One, as much as I wish this to be a casual call, I'm afraid it's not." Number 362 spoke.
"What's going on?" Asked Number One.
"We had an intruder on Moon Base today. Can you send Operative Number Two up to Moon Base? We need his expertise on computer technology. We're gathering all technology based operatives in a meeting. We need to set up a better security system on Moon Base here and for him to hack through the system." Number 362 replied.
"Was anything stolen?"
"Information from one of our rooms. It seemed we managed to interrupt their job from getting caught but they got what they needed. They left a puzzling code on our system for just that file. We need one of the operatives to hack it in so we can find out what the intruder got away with."
"What do we know about the intruder?"
"We assume it was a teen working under Father. When Number 60 and Number 86 got to the room, they informed back that the intruder got away. They used a crash test dummy to replace them in the dark room. Number One, it is urgent we find out what Operative they have information on."
"…"
"Nigel, the room we found the intruder in was the Kid's Birthday room. It shows every single operative and when their birthday is. Whoever the intruder was, they managed to override our override code. Please send Number Two as soon as you can."
"Rachel, are you going to be ok?"
They stared at each other in silence through the screen.
"Nigel, we'll send Number Two back as soon as we're finished. If I get any more information, I'll have it transmitted to you."
"I could come down there too…"
"The next time I see you face to face, I want it to be somewhere far from this moon base and I want it to just be you and I alone. Until then, no, stay where you are. Number 362 out."
The screen turned black.
Nigel stared at the screen and sighed before leaving to go find Hoagie.
Outside Sanban Household
Kuki sat with Kimiko on the cement step. Kuki was singing to herself while Kimiko was busy texting. After reading a text, Kimiko paused and looked at Kuki.
"Hey Kuki, if I'm staying here for the summer, why don't you introduce me to your friends? I'd love to meet them." Kimiko added a smile at the end.
"Really! Of course! You can meet all of my rainbow monkey friends too!" Kuki said happily.
"…Of course…" Kimiko said half smiling.
"Hey so…if I'm taking your room, where do you stay?"
"Oh, don't worry silly, I have a place to stay and it's not the couch. I have all my rainbow monkey friends with me too. My bed is big enough to fit them all if I wanted to but then I wouldn't have anywhere to sleep. So I have to pick special special ones to sleep with." Kuki rambled on.
Kimiko's grip on her phone tightened. Her phone flashed when her grip caused the side button to be pressured down. The most recent text message showed:
"You think theres any way for you to get in their treehouse? See what information you can get out of your cuz. I think I can set us some type of party through parental. That way both teens and kids would be in the same room. That way we wont need to explain how we've met each other. We can just say at the party. =)"
At another household
"Hello daddy, how are you today?"
"Why, hello pumpkin, I'm good today. How about yourself?
"Oh… I could be better but… oh nevermind…"
"Psh…what's this nevermind nonsense? What's wrong pumpkin?"
"Well..you see …daddy…I was wondering if you could…."
-Transmission Interrupted-
Author Note:
..That's it for now guys! Review please if can. [=
..I'm free writing the plot as I type it, so if I go off point, it'd help a lot if you tell me in a review. Please and thanks.
..If grammar is huge for you, I apologize in advance! I'm SORRY!
.. Just in case this causes confusion, numbers below 10 are technically supposed to be written out. After it has passed 10, are you able to write it out numerically. There are exceptions, so don't flame me about this numbers thing. This is just what I've been used to. xD
..When the operatives are being formal ish, they're labeled under their numbers. When they're just being themselves, they're labeled by their names. Make sense?
..If something is unclear here, I'll try to make it more clear in future chapters.
..Alright hope you enjoyed it and that it's different to you from other stories. I'll stop babbling…Now.
