...

Right now, the Kids Next Door Arctic Base was primarily empty. It was the first Saturday of summer vacation and all thr operatives were off spending time with their families. All of them, except one.

Alone, there was a one who had stayed behind, and was now sitting at a table in the arctic cafeteria, drinking hot chocolate through a crazy straw, making marshmallows constantly float around him. As in, in the air around him. How? Simple, he wasn't a human operative.

Aside from some black hair and a hat, he didn't really look like a human at all. He was very odd-looking to say the least. With a polar bear paw, a snow leopard paw, a cow hoof, an orange claw, a set of mismatched bird and bat wings, an antler and a horn, green chest fluff, a gray head with floppy ears, and a rather out-of-place pink tail, he kind of looked a Frankenstein creature made from parts taken out of the zoo.

The operative was out in the base, making a quick check through security and records and candy supply before heading to his own home. Right now, he just wanted one last cup of cocoa before heading off in a S.C.A.M.P.E.R..

Been a while since we've seen each other, hasn't it Numbuh Freak Of Nature?

The young operative looked behind him, startled by the mention of his old Numbuh. There behind him stood an alien that kind of looked like a lot like an upside down plant. He turned to her with an odd look.

"Ah, so it has Numbuh Vine. Kind of weird, seeing you here."

"With you. EVERYTHING is weird."

"Heh-heh. True. So, um, what are you doing here?"

"I've come down for an inspection. The Supreme Leader has sent down an operative to see if there's any operative worthy to represent this planet."

So you guys are still going at the whole "adulthood" thing?"

Numbuh Vine sighed, her vines starting to droop. "Yes, we are"

The other alien's expression then changed from terrified to a sad pondering, tilting his head in confusion.

Numbuh Vine then looked up and stated emotionelessly "It's a long story."

She then looked up to suddenly find her fellow operative with 2 ice seats near the table he was previously sitting at. "iI've got time."

Numbuh Vine floated by and hovered a little lower over the seat (because I don't think that she can actually sit). Beside her, she suddenly saw a large open bag of lawn mulch. Assuming the source, she looked over to the operative next to her, who started to once again play around with his hovering marshmallows.

"Thanks", Numbuh Vine said and proceeded to take a leaf full of mulch.

Vine: Can I trust you with a secret?

The ex- galactic operative then stopped to look at her "You could, but I don't think you really should." He joked.

Numbuh Freak, I'm serious"

I know. Sure you can tell me anything. But, for the future, I don't go by that Numbuh anymore."

Numbuh Vine then sighed. "You know how I said the Ultra-Supreme Leader has sent down an operative to find a worthy planet representative?"

Her former friend then nodded as he started to make hot chocolate bubbles, momentarily not paying attention.

Vine: "Well, I'm not that operative"

He then stopped in shock practically choking on his hot chocolate, making the levitating marshmallows suddenly fall to the icy floor. "I'm sorry", he said after recovering from the shock "What?"

"I'm not down here to find the operative to represent Earth"

"Well, then what are you doing down here anyways? Unless something's changed since my escape-"

"I want to try and save it"

Numbuh Vine turned to see a very strange look, as if trying to find which emotion to express.

I said I came down for an inspection. I want to see if I can find some way to get some inner Earth detail.

Oh. Well, have they already sent down another operative?

Yes. Numbuh 74.239's come down to try and find a representative. He's off looking in Europe now inspecting Sector Double S.

"I see." He then started to calm down and resume floating marshmallows, beginning to go into thought.

I need to see if there's any way I can find the potential representative first before he does. Because if I don't, well.., you know...

Yeah, I know.

The 2 then sat and ate together in an awkward silence, the only sound coming from FON continuing hot chocolate bubbles.

Deciding to change the subject, the ex-galactic operative asked Numbuh Vine "So, um, are they still looking for me?"

Well, technically no. They've already found you.

The operative suddenly spat out his hot chocolate all over the table around. In between coughing and sputtering he exclaimed "WHAT?!"

You mean you don't know? How do you think we found this place?"

At those words, his eyes started to go wide and slowly started to freeze as he began to comprehend the realization.

You see, when you escaped all those years ago from your rebellion, we started to look for your landing coordinates. It took a while, but we eventually found you. And a new planet which the Supreme Leader has stated "as a bonus".

The ex GKND operative then sat completely frozen stiff in a state of shock. He then looked down at his hot chocolate with a look of despair and his ears drooping down.

Um, Numbuh Freak?

He ignored that she used his despised old Numbuh, still looking down.

Numbuh Freak Of Nature?

There was still no response, until he meekly uttered, It's all my fault.

Excuse me?

He then said slightly louder, "This planet's going to get destroyed. And it's all my fault.

There was now an awkward silence between the 2 aliens.

In the awkwardness, Numbuh Vine realized that through the conversation she had finished the bag of mulch in front of her. She decided it'd probably be a good idea to go back to her planetary pursuit and hovered off of her seat Well, thank you for the nourishment. I must be on my way to find an operati-

1.

What?

Numbuh 1. Go to him.

What are you talking about, Numbuh Fr-

Suddenly, she was given a large and harsh exclaim that shook the entire Arctic Base. "DON'T! CALL ME THAT!."

It was Numbuh Vine's turn to be shocked. She then slowly nodded. "O-O-Of course"

The ex-Numbuh Freak then began to calm down. "Numbuh 1 is a close acquaintance. We don't see each other much, but he's one of the most loyal, determined, and to be honest, completely awesome kids next door operatives I've ever seen. I don't know if he'll be the exact one that will be picked, but I can expect him to be a candidate.

W-Well, thank you. Um, why are you telling me this?

Because it's my fault they're even here. The least I can do is try to have a shot to save my home.

Numbuh Vine then looked confused at the statement. "You're -?

It's not by birth planet, true. But ever since I escaped to here, I feel.. really happy. Granted, they don't know I'm.. well, whatever it is I am, but I have a family. Friends. Respect. For the first time I don't feel like-

A freak?

"Yeah.", was the quiet reply Numbuh Vine recieved.

There was a moment where silence loomed over the base. Then, with his hot chocolate done, the ex-Numbuh started to get up from his seat and head out of the base.

"Well, I better head home before my folks start worrying about me. My job is done here"

Yeah I better head off to and find this Numbuh 1.

The two started to head off to the docking bay. As they approached the S.C.A.M.P.E.R.'s.

As the ex-galactic operative began to climb inside one of them, he then turned to Numbuh Vine once more.

"By the way, he's in Sector V. If you type it in, it'll give you the coordinates to them.

Thank you very much Numbuh Fr- I mean, Numbuh...

"Sixty. I go by Numbuh 60 now".

...

Yeah so.. that happened.

I hope you enjoyed this : )

Comments are always welcome. Please tell me if anything doesn't make sense or is too confusing.

I made a design of Numbuh 60's alien design on my DeviantArt account.

I might continue this later in the future. Writing this was pretty fun.
