Hi there! Welcome all to my first Fan Fiction story about one of my favorite cartoon shows: Codename: Kids Next Door. My first story stars the Fulbright kids because they are my top favorite characters from the show specially Fanny Fulbright (Numbuh 86). Ok, enough with the boring stuff, let's begin!

Disclaimer: I don't own Codename: Kids Next Door. It belongs to Mr. W. I only own Houdini the Hamster.

Saving the Hamster! The Fulbrights leave for America!

"My name is Patrick Fulbright but you might know me as Paddy or by my codename, Numbuh 85. My last name sounds familiar to you? Well, maybe is because you know my older sister Fanny Fulbright aka Numbuh 86 aka the meanest girl AND boy hater in the Kids next Door. Yeah well, having her as a sister is a real nightmare because she totally hates me, well she hates ALL boys but its worst for me and my brother because we live in the same house as her.

But Fanny wasn't always a boy hater- I mean, she always had a dislike for them but not as much as now. The story is sorta long and it also tells how Fanny, Shaunie and I meet our friends and how Fanny became an operative-"

"Stop ramblin' ya STOOPID BOY and get on with the story!"

"Yikes! Ok, ok. Geez, who let her in? Anyway, the story begins way back before we moved to Cleveland…"

Ireland International Airport

4-year-old Paddy Fulbright sat in the airport waiting area, gazing out of the window at the grassy green hills of his natal Ireland. He sighted sadly, for he knew that this was his last day in The Emerald Island. His dad had created an industry in Virginia, so he, his parents, older sister and younger brother were going to move to America. He didn't want to leave for a different country. Not because they spoke English (because he could speak in English, with a slight Irish accent); he didn't want to leave because he will miss his homeland.

"Hey Paddy," Called someone. He turned away from the window and saw his older sister, Fanny walking his way. She took a seat next to him then noticed his sad expression. "What's wrong?"

Paddy sighted again. "I'm going to miss Ireland."

Fanny sighted too. "Yeah, me too, but we had ta make the best of it. This is a great opportunity. Who knows, ye might even get ta make friends there."

"I guess ye are right." Just then, their mother came. She was holding their younger brother, Shaunie in her arms; the 3-year-old was sleeping quietly.

"Kids, I need to help yer dad with the luggage. So a need ya to watch Shaunie for me."

"Yes Mom." They said in unison. Mrs. Fulbright then handed Shaunie to Fanny, and went to help her husband with the luggage.

Fanny held her youngest brother as he slept. Suddenly, a loud crash followed by swearing in Irish was heard. Paddy and Fanny turned to were the noise was coming from, when a small red ball of fur appeared. The thing stopped and the Fulbright kids saw that it was a baby hamster with red curly fur and dark green eyes. The hamster was panting rapidly, his eyes wide. He then turned around in alarm when more shouting was heard; the furball scanned his surroundings looking for a place to hide.

His gaze then locked with Paddy's. For a moment, both the kid and the rodent gazed at each other. In that small instant they felt a strong connection forming in between them. That instant ended when load footsteps echoed in the hallway, getting closer. Quick as lightning, the hamster scampered toward Paddy, climbing up his leg and hiding in one of his pants' pockets.

"What the-" Before Fanny could finish, a man came out of the hallway. He was very tall, about 30 or 35 years old; he had a big moustache and looked really angry. The man looked around the room, before seeing the red-haired siblings.

"Hey kids! Have you seen a red hamster pass through here?" He rudely asked, walking to them.

It didn't take a genius to see that this man was the reason the hamster looked scared. They looked at each other before asking. "Why do ye want to know?"

"Why? Well, for yer information, I am the owner of a company that distributes hamsters to pet stores around the world, and that hamster that I am looking for is part of a shipment to Canada."

"But why bother looking for a simple hamster if ye have other ones?" Paddy asked.

The man then turned more redder in anger and spoke to the Fulbright boy in a loud voice. "It is obvious that ye know nothing, kid! That wasn't a simple hamster! That was a Red Curly-Haired Irish Hamster; one of the rarest a valuable breeds in the world!"

Paddy looked at his sister with a pleading look that clearly said, Please don't tell him were the hamster is! He clearly only cares about money!

Fanny understood and smiled, turning back to the man she said. "He went that way." She pointed the opposite direction. The man headed off without even thanking them.

"Well that was rude." said Fanny.

Paddy then looked at his pocket were the hamster had hide. "Is ok little guy. You can come out now." The little hamster poked his head, looking around before leaving the pocket. He then sat in Paddy's lap and stared at him with a look of gratitude.

"You're welcome," he said while petting his head.

Fanny then looked back at them, Shaunie still sleeping in her arms. "So, what do we do with him?"

"We cannot leave him! That man might catch him again! I wish we could take him with us to America." said Paddy, his head lowered in sadness.

Fanny stood there with a pensive look upon her face. She then got an idea. "Well, we could smuggle him aboard."

The boy looked a bit shocked at this idea. "But isn't that illegal, Fanny?"

"Of course it is! But if you want to save yer little friend, is the only way."

Paddy thought about it for a minute. She did have a point, doing it will surely keep the hamster safe. He looked at the little furball still in his lap; the hamster was looking at him with big round eyes. That look convinced him. He turned to Fanny, smiling.

"Ok, I'll do it."

The hamster gave a happy squeak as Paddy hid him in his pocket again. Just then Mr. and Mrs. Fulbright came to them, dragging the suitcases. "Come on kids, we are boarding the plane now!

So, what do you think? Hope is ok since it's my first time writing a fan fiction story. So, write a review telling if you like it or I need to fix something.
