Sorry for the long wait. I'm trying to get back on my feet with writing. So here's a two/three chapter story. If you have advice, I'd be happy to hear it.

This little fic takes place during adult Sector V's interview in James' eyes. Enjoy.

Again, I do not own KND. I only own James and his pals.

Also, some of the dialogue is slightly different in the fic than in Operation: I.N.T.E.R.V.I.E.W.S.

R&R.

…

Chapter 1: Can You Believe It?!

James was still bent on attending the C.A.K.E.D. Games and proving his worth. The next game wouldn't start for a month, so James had to be prepared.

In his, James was talking to his friends about the games. But they had other opinions.

"Are you sure of this?" Allison asked.

"For the fifty-thirteenth time, yes!" James said.

"But…the C.A.K.E.D. Games? Really?" Jeh said.

"Going around the world collecting items on a list and overcoming necktie queens and large asparagus monsters seems pretty hard and risky." Benny said.

"And with that (stinky) Rainbow Monkey Park torn down, where are they gonna host it?" Kookaburra asked.

"I don't know yet, but this can be our big break!" James said. "Finally, we can show those other kids we have poten-" James heard the door slam.

"Hold that thought." James said as he ran downstairs. In the living room, he saw his dad sitting on the sofa, watching football.

"Hey dad," James said. "Where'd Mr. and Mrs. Beatles and Mr. and Mrs. Gilligan go?"

"They had…an interview to go to." Nigel said.

"An interview?" James said.

"Yeah. Someone called, saying he wanted to talk to them about their careers and success."

"What about you?"

"Umm…I declined." Nigel said. "I don't really like people talking about my personal life."

"Mm hmmm…" James said suspiciously "And where are they going for this interview?"

"Some place called EAI Studios. Why?"

…

"An interview?" the kids said in confusion.

"I'm not buying it." James said. "It all seems so fishy. Why would only my dad decline and the rest of your parents, uncle, and aunt go?"

"Aw, James, let it slide." Allison said.

"Yeah, I'm sure this happens all the time." Kookaburra said.

"Well does it?" James asked. All four kids thought about it for a moment before saying:

"Now that you mention it, Aunt Abby wasn't really into interviews."

"Interviews with Uncle Hoagie don't happen often, either."

"My mommy had a lot of interviews, can't say the same for daddy."

"Precisely my point." James said. "Which is why I'm going to that studio to get to the bottom of things."

"James…" Allison said. "Are you sure you should do something like this? You can get in big trouble for this."

"Don't worry, Alli." James said as he walked out the door. "Trouble is my middle name." And he was down the stairs and out the door, leaving the four kids behind.

"I thought his middle name was Lane." Kookaburra said.

…

Finding EAI Studios was easy for James. Sneaking in?

Easier.

Soon James found himself in an interview room. With some chairs and a sofa. Suddenly, he heard footsteps. Quickly, he hid behind the backdrop.

"Please, take a seat." a voice not familiar to James said.

"Right here?" said a familiar voice. Mrs. Gilligan. James thought.

"Yeah that's good."

James listened to the conversation Mrs. Gilligan and the man had. At first, he thought it was gonna be about all the success Mrs. Gilligan had. But then…

"You see, when you were young, you and your friends were part of an organization that fought against adult tyranny and for kids rights."

Wait. James thought. He can't mean the Kids Next Door, right?

"Oh, I remember now!" he heard Abigail said.

Mrs. Gilligan was in the Kids Next Door!? James thought in shock. Makes me wonder if her husband was in the Kids Next Door. And Mr. and Mrs. Beatles.

But the big shock was yet to come. "That's because we temporarily recommisioned you and your team so we can ask you some questions."

"Questions? About what?"

"About your last mission with your team and the whereabouts of Numbuh 1."

Mrs. Gilligan knew Numbuh 1? James thought, his giddiness rising.

"Who?"

"Nigel Uno, your sector leader."

No.

No way.

This had to be a dream.

But it wasn't.

"My dad." James whispered in awe. "Was my hero, the Numbuh 1?!"

James nearly shrieked in joy, but quickly refrained from doing so after he reminded himself he wasn't supposed to be seen. Then, James remembered something that should've made it obvious. Back when he and his friends learned their little trick, Nigel had been screaming random things, such as H.I.P.P.I.E.-H.O.P., codenumbuhs, and defenses. James silently berated himself for not realizing that earlier.

He listened to the whole interview, eager to learn more.

…

Sometime later, everyone took a break and left the set, except for James. He had learned plenty. He learned that Mrs. And Mr. Gilligan were Numbuh 5 and 2 respectively. And Mr. and Mrs. Beatles were Numbuhs 4 and 3. They, along with his dad, the Numbuh 1, made the legendary Sector V.

His heroes.

"Me and my pals have been related to the famous Sector V the whole time?!" James said eagerly. "I cannot wait to tell them! This is the greatest day of my life! Somebody pinch me!"

Pinch!

"Yeowch!" James cried as he felt someone pinch his arm. "I didn't mean that liter-" he immediately stopped his sentence the moment he turned to see who pinched him, only for his slightly amber eyes to face ten, icy blue eyes.

"Why hello, Jimmy." They said in unison. "Fancy meeting you again."

"You!"

…

Yeah. I'm gonna make this fic two or three chapters long. I decided to give it a shot.

Anyways, James is about to learn more about his dad and his pals, and has another delightful encounter with some "friends".

Fun Fact: I decided to give James the middle name Lane as a little joke about some…people in Nigel's past.

I'll update the next chapter as soon as I can. Anyways, have a delightful time! And don't let Father burn you to a crisp!
