One

He was going to be thirteen.

As he watched the clock switched over, Nigel Uno sighed. Correction: he was thirteen. Numbuh Three Hundred and Sixty Two (apparently he was deemed a special agent) wouldn't be coming for him until Nine thirty but that was beside the point.

He was a teenager. There where good things and bad things to this. Well one good thing actually. He wouldn't have to watch his once good friends completely ignore each other anymore. Well apart for that minor fact that Numbuh Three had brought up but he'd put that down to Numbuh Three miss-hearing things.

Anyway, he wouldn't have to watch his once good friends ignore each other due to the fact he would also be ignoring them. Ignoring them completely, because of the simple fact he wouldn't remember them.

So that was why he was glad, but being a teen? That went against everything he stood for. He knew that deep in his heart that he couldn't be a kid forever. That he had to grow up even if he didn't want to.

Nigel felt his eyes close. Although he didn't want it to come it was going to whether he liked it or not.

Too soon he smacked his alarm clock for the first time as a teenager. He wearily opened his eyes again. His alarm clock was now telling him it was six o'clock. Nine thirty was coming too quickly. Granted he still had three and a half hours left but he had things to do and he had to make sure everything got done.

He looked under his bed to make sure that the box was still there and it was with every item in place. That was good. He moved it back and started getting ready for the day.

As he looked around his room at the tree house he couldn't help but sigh. It was mostly packed up but it still was his. Still everything he worked hard to get up to. He got dressed and placed his final things in the last box.

Closing his eyes he made a mental picture of his room. Then he took a breath and walked out of it. He was glad that he had awoken so early, nobody else at that present time was up. He quietly took the last boxes down to his room in his house and then went back up.

He smiled softly in the inside of the tree house. Wondering if he would keep any memories. He knew it was impossible but it was a thought. He heard a noise and his head swirled around to the left.

Numbuh Sixteen- Abby's replacement walked in yawning. She looked up and smiled at Nigel. She then immediately headed to the rainbow monkey cereal.

"Happy Birthday, Numbuh One." She said softly. It wouldn't be Numbuh Sixteen's first decommissioning- Numbuh Two had been but it would be Numbuh Eighteen's (Wally's replacement) and Nigel briefly wondered how Numbuh Eighteen would feel about it.

"Not really but it had to happen sometime," He responded, "Have you seen Numbuh Three yet?" Numbuh Sixteen shook her head.

"I think she's still asleep, Numbuh One? What was Numbuh Three like?" Nigel looked confused for a few moments.

"What was Numbuh Three like?" He repeated for a few moments briefly confused while Numbuh Sixteen nodded.

"I mean… before Numbuh Five left the team…" She elaborated and Nigel realized what she was talking about.

"Well… Numbuh Three… I guess she was more… hyper than she is now. She was always trying to get Numbuh Four to play rainbow monkeys with her and we could never figure out why. Then there was the fact that she could never see well… you know." Everyone had heard about what happened between Numbuh Three and Numbuh Four. Numbuh Three hadn't quite been the same since.

"Morning everyone," Numbuh Seventeen spoke up with a small smile. He was the new technician of the group while Numbuh Sixteen had fell into Abby's role easily. As had Numbuh Eighteen with Wally's. Nigel briefly wondered how the new Numbuh Nineteen would go but he wasn't going to question it.

Not pointing out the fact that: he wouldn't be able to remember to question it.

"Morning Numbuh Seventeen," Both he and Numbuh Sixteen coursed. Numbuh Seventeen gave him a soft smile as he reached for the bowl.

"What time are we going up Numbuh Sixteen?" He looked at his sector in surprise while Numbuh Seventeen winced in pain and he knew immediately, that Numbuh Sixteen had kicked Numbuh Seventeen in the shin.

"You're not coming up with me?" When he thought about it he wasn't that surprised, apart from Numbuh Three they hadn't come up for Hoagie's or Wally's but… that was different. He'd gotten to know this team. He had thought… well he had thought that at least Numbuh Three was going to come up with him.

"We're leaving at nine o'clock. We thought that you and Numbuh Three would want to go up alone. Just to reminisce or something," Numbuh Eighteen explained entering the room.

He wasn't exactly like Wally but then nobody apart from Wallabee Beatles would be. There where many differences between his teams but there where also many similarities.

"Does Numbuh Three know about this?" He wasn't sure as to how Numbuh Three was going to react to this news if she didn't. She'd kept quiet ever since Wally's decommission and really he couldn't blame her.

"Does Numbuh Three know about what?" Numbuh Three asked coming in yawning. She gave him a soft smile while going up to make some toast.

"You don't want Rainbow Monkey Cereal?" Numbuh Sixteen questioned raising an eyebrow and Nigel couldn't help but looked surprised himself. For as long as he had known the girl, Numbuh Three had always had Rainbow Monkey Cereal for breakfast.

All of them had.

"I don't feel like it today," Numbuh Three said blandly. She buttered herself a piece of toast and went to the table, "so what does Numbuh Three know or not know?" Numbuh Sixteen looked down at her cereal and Nigel knew instantly that Numbuh Sixteen hadn't said anything to her.

"Well… we decided that Numbuh Three Hundred and Sixty Two, Numbuh One and yourself should all go up on the ship together. Which is why we're going ahead earlier." Numbuh Three raised an eyebrow but nodded. Not saying a word.

After that they ate their breakfast in silence. Nigel knew that his birthday was going to be as big as Maurice's. Numbuh Three Hundred and Sixty Two had already warned him of that. At nine o'clock he watched his old teammates board the ship.

Numbuh Sixteen gave him a brief hug while both Numbuh Seventeen and Numbuh Eighteen just shook his hand. He smiled at them all.

"You guys have been a great team and even if I won't be aware of it I want you to be," They all smiled and Nigel could see their eyes shining with tears as well. He couldn't help but feel glad that he had his sunglasses on, so they couldn't see his.

Nigel sighed looking back at Numbuh Three, she gave him a small smile as they walked back into the tree house. It was quite funny really they had become close in the time that they had spent together. Once two entirely different people they where now quite close friends.

At least that was the way he saw it.

"Numbuh One… forgive me if this sounds well… blunt or anything but do you have anything planned?" Nigel looked surprised at Numbuh Three.

"The truth is… I hadn't thought about it. There are five percent of operatives that go with a fight and ninety five percent that go honorably and the truth is… I'd rather be in the bigger percent," Nigel said and Numbuh Three nodded, still looking unsure. Nigel briefly wondered if she was planning anything and then dismissed that thought almost instantly.

Numbuh Three wouldn't do that. Then again… he hadn't thought that Chad would either.

They heard the landing of a ship outside Nigel's back yard and he knew that it was Numbuh Three Hundred and Sixty Two. The two members looked at each other and smiled.

"Guess it's time."

"You ready?" Numbuh Three questioned. Nigel just gave a smile.

"As I'll ever be." And that was the truth. He was ready. He had to be.

The flight up was quiet. He spent most of his time looking out of the window. Most of it just thinking about his friends. He had so many but this year he had also said good bye to so many. Then a thought came to him. The box.

"Numbuh Three, before you land I need to tell you something," Numbuh Three looked at him surprised and he held himself back from laughing, "There should be a box under my bed. There are five things in it. One is for you the other four are for Numbuh Three Hundred and Sixty Two, Abby, Wally and Hoagie. Can you do me a favor and deliver them?" Numbuh Three nodded and he smiled satisfied. At least they would now have some memory of the kids next door.

As they walked into the auditorium Numbuh One couldn't help but be stunned at the amount of people that had arrived to send him off. He could see in the crowd the rest of his sector but he also could see Numbuh Eighty-Six, Numbuh Sixty and a lot of others.

A whole lot of others. It seemed like the only people missing where Abby, Hoagie and Wally. The three people he wished to be there in the entire world.

"Numbuh One. You've been a brilliant operative. You've led your sector to many great victories- both your previous one and your current one. You've managed to get out of sticky situations that only the rest of us would panic about. You've been a great leader and role model to all of us and we will miss you." Numbuh Three Hundred and Sixty Two spoke out with what looked like tears in her eyes, "Happy Birthday, Numbuh One."

He wanted to say something but he couldn't so they sang the song. This would be the one memory he was going to be happy not to keep. He didn't want to remember the song.

Not this version of it anyway. He kept his eyes fixed on Numbuh Three and Numbuh Three Hundred and Sixty Two, trying to keep himself not to cry. He was wondering why Numbuh Three wasn't crying but didn't question it. He didn't have time.

"It's time to go, Numbuh One." He took a deep breath. Suddenly he didn't want to go. Maybe he should have had a plan. It was too late though, too late to turn back. He gave Numbuh Three a hug and then turned to the crowd.

"Kids Next Door Rules." He spoke hollowly before following Numbuh Three Hundred and Sixty Two out. He then sighed, "well I guess this is good bye then."

"It doesn't have to be Nigel." Nigel raised an eyebrow at the leader.

"What are you talking about, Rachel?"

"Just go in and say yes." Nigel gave her a questioning look, as he took a step into the room. Wondering exactly what was going on.
