It was a dark and stormy night at the kids next door sector X tree house in Venice, Italy. Lightning blanketed the windows. Number Seventeen was sauntering along the main hallway with his bright yellow robe trying to find his way back to his room but it was no use. The lightning strikes didn't help him for they only lasted for a mere second. Why did I have to get a glass of water? I know it makes me want to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night. WHY WHY WHY! All of a sudden he heard a low moaning. "I've come for you...one by one...you cannot eessscccaaapppeee!" What the?Number Fourteen? is that you trying to freak me out or something? Number Seventeen said in an uneasy voice. "You wish..." it said in an almost playful voice."Hey what the- ahhhhhhh noooooo!". "What the heck was that?" Number twelve said sleepily as she crawled out of bead with her pink skull robe."Better go check it out." she said in a sudden serious tone. She crept over to where she heard the sound. Soon she saw the body of Number Seventeen motionless on the ground. "O it's you number Seventeen did you see that pink squirrel again?...number seventeen?...number seventeen what is wrong with-o...my...ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"she screamed as she crept closer she realized that the body was motionles not because of that annoying pink squirrel that can even frighten the toughest boy but because of the body was as white as snow and icy, pupils where pure white. Number welve fell to the floor after seeing such a grim sight speaking of grim, a shadow crept onto the wall slowly materializing into...THE GRIM REAPER! "UGH did another one a dose hamsters choke on a seed again? So what do we got here...Number Seventeen is dat you? ...Oh... Oh no..."number twelve ran up to grim clenching his long black robe "GRIM! How did this happen? who...what did this?" She asked as tears slowly formed into her eyes."Im not sure Izzy, but by the looks of it, I tink it was...a dementor." Grim said in a mournful. A second later, and Numbers Thirteen, Fourteen, Fifteen, and Sixteen come running in. "Hey Number twelve why is grim here what the?...AHHHHH WHAT THE FREAK IS THAT!" Number Fourteen said in an unsure and scared voice. Is that...-"Number Thirteen asked but being cut off by Grim."Yes children, im afraid it is...that...who-, what did this was a dementor "Wha- what d-do we do n-now?" Number Sixteen said in a stutter. "You must be removed from the tree house before they find out where you are. You must be assigned to a new tree house, so they won't find you do you understand?"Grim asked. "But what about?" number Fifteen asked. "I will take care of that." Grim said. "Now go, GO NOW" Grim said in a stern, but caring voice.(and you thought the grim reaper was evil, yeah right!) The five then ran to there rooms, packed all of there belonging, weapons in all, and fled to the M.O.S.Q.U.I.T.O. and flew to the Kids Next Door moon base.

"Welcome to the Kids next door Moon base, please give your numbers and rankings." Said the grand computer in a robotic voice. "Number Twelve, First in command of sector X" "Number Thirteen, Pilot of Sector X""Number fourteen, weapon technician of sector X""Number fifteen, hand to hand combat of sector X.""Number Sixteen second in command of sector X." "Welcome sector X, please enter." Commanded the voice. As they walked in calmly. They halted at a desk with a freckled redhead, that was Number eighty-six. "Sector X WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE! You should be at th-" " They got Number Seventeen, where not safe in Italy anymore, we must be reassigned. Said the bold leader. "Oh uh...yes I understand." said number eighty-six in a surprisingly sad voice. "Yes well none the less, I must give you your new sector...let's see...the only one I can give you is...sector V, operatives one through five." said number eighty-six as she checked her computer. "Well at least where assigned to a sector with operatives we know." said number thirteen in an optimistic voice. "Sector V it is then."said number twelve. "I will contact them right now, you can leave in the morning." said number eight-six. "Well guys" said Number twelve. "Lets get some rest."

'At sector V's tree house.'

" Numbers two through five please report to the meeting room pronto!"said number on in his British accent. They a came scurrying from different parts of the tree house."What's happening number one? Number five was just about to beat number four at a new game" said number five speaking in third-person. "It seems that we will be having some guest for a while." explained number one. "Why the crud for! they better not bring any of those cruddy rainbow monkeys!" said number for in his angry Aussie voice. " It is sector X who will be staying with us." said number one. Number Four started blushing as he remembered number twelve. Her short brunette hair, her funny sarcasm, her pink shirt with the skull on it. He remembered every detail about her as if it where yesterday(actually, it was only a couple of months ago at a kids next door Christmas party.

-flashback-

It was at a kids next door Christmas party on moon base. Number four was trying to avoid number three's horrid hugs. As he was squeezing past the crowd, that's when he sawher, in her long, flowing cotton candy colored dress with the skull corsage, her hair up in chopsticks. He thought they where meant to be. Of course, number five was closely watching as she saw number four drool over her, she came over to number four, of course he didn't notice because he was still in a trance. "Got yourself a little crush there don't ya pretty boy?" said number five giggling. "Ah hi um number 5! How long where you there?" asked number four finally breaking out of his trance. " hehe , long enough, that's number twelve, leader of sector x. I think their tree house is in Italy." explained number five. "Wow she's...she's..."number four couldn't even get his words out of his mouth. "O yeah one more thing I forgot to mention, that's number three's cousin." said number five. "She's...number three's cousin? They don't even look alike!"exclaimed number four. "HELLO! I said their tree house is in Italy, her mom is Italian!." said number five. "Now do you wanna dance with her or not!""uh yeah! But wait how the crud can you help?" Just then, number five pushed number four through the crowd, bumping into number twelve. "Hey watch it! What's with you ?" Yelled number twelve."It's not like I did it on purpose!"'Wow she sounds tough, she's PERFECT!' thought number four."ok OKAY! Im sorry jeez..." said number four slightly blushing."now that's all I needed to hear." said number four as if she was talking to a puppy."I'm Izzy or number twelve witch ever floats your boat anywise, and you are?" "Oh I'm...Number four or Walley."said they blushing Aussie. "Ah so your in sector v with my cousin number three? Am I right?" asked number twelve."yup" number four said plainly. "Hey ya wanna dance?" asked number twelve. 'YES YES YES!' thought number four. " well, ok but can you keep up?" asked number four in a sly voice. "HA! Your funny I think you're the one who's gonna have to keep up with me!" said number twelve in a sarcastic tone. Just then the music switched to the song 'sing sing sing'(ya know, that song they used to play in the chips ahoy commercials) and a big circle formed for two people to dance away. "Let's dance then." number twelve said as she grabbed number four's hand and pulled him to the dance floor. No one knows how but all of a sudden,they just started dancing as if they planned everything out. They did those cool flips and stuff that are like, really cool! Number three was excited to see why everyone was cheering and clapping but when she saw who was dancing, she got mad, VERY mad. She then over heard Number five say to number two that they look great together and with that, number three stormed off into the girls bathroom. The song finally ended and that left them panting."wow that was a long song" said number twelve."well I'll see ya later then" she said then before number four could say good bye the crowd wept her off. "Good bye..." number four said disappointed that he didn't get to say goodbye before she left.
