- "This is the day, isn't it Numbuh 666?" a girl asked her squad leader.
- "I'm afraid so, Numbuh 667!" he replied. "Could you call the gang for a meeting?"
- "Got it, boss!" she said and was about to leave the room.
- "I'm not you boss anymore, Lynn! This wasn't an order!"
Moments later, all five members of Kids Next Door Sector R were present.
- "I'm glad you all could come!" Numbuh 666 said to his crew. "I have bad news for you! Today is my thirteenth birthday, which means that I will travel to the Moonbase later this day for my decommissioning. I would like you, Numbuh 667, to join me to the base if that's ok!"
- "Sure, Numbuh 666!" she replied.
- "I'm not a kid anymore, Numbuh 667. I'm afraid you should call me by my real name for the rest of the day."
- "When are we going… Johnny?"
- "Any minute now…" he said as a spaceship landed outside their tree house.
- "Numbuh 666, come out from the tree house with your hands above your head!" a voice yelled.
- "Let's not keep them waiting, Lynn!" Johnny said as they both exited the tree house.
- "Numbuh 666, happy birthday!" a boy outside the spaceship said as Johnny and Lynn approached.
- "It's not very happy, officer!" he replied. "I'm thirteen now!"
- "That's why I'm here, you are scheduled for decommissioning! Please come with me without arguing and I won't have to hurt you!"
- "May I bring a friend to the Moonbase? We've been working together for several years and I want her to hear my final words!"
- "Very well! Numbuh 667, you hereby have permission to come with us to the Moonbase! But during the flight, Numbuh 666 will be kept in a cell. You are not allowed to be in the cell with him, but you may sit just outside it! No talking will be allowed from when we lift from Earth until we land at the base, is that understood?"
- "Yes, sir!" Numbuh 667 said to him. "No talking until we reach the moon!"
The three of them entered the spaceship and took off. Lynn sat outside Johnny's cell as they flew. There was an awkward silence during the whole trip. Lynn looked on Johnny, trying hard not to cry. They eventually reached the Moonbase, and the silence could be broken.
- "My butt hurts!" Johnny said. "These are really uncomfortable seats you have in the cell, officer!"
- "The cells are only used by teenagers, adults and other wrongdoers!" he said. "So it's not supposed to be comfortable!"
- "Well, then what are you gonna answer when you've erased my memory and I ask why my butt hurts, then?"
- "We'll come up with something, now move it!" he said and unlocked the cell.
All three of them walked into the base. Johnny's hands were cuffed in case he would try to attempt to escape, and the officer pointed a splanker at him all the time.
- "Numbuh 86!" the officer called to a redheaded girl. "Here's another victim for you, ready to be decommissioned!"
- "Excellent!" she said and turned around. "Which one of you?"
- "Me, ma'am!" Johnny said. "She's just a friend of mine!"
- "I see…" Numbuh 86 said to them. "Well, shall we get going?"
They kept walking for a while until Numbuh 86 suddenly stopped outside a big door.
- "This is the line for you, missy!" Numbuh 86 said to Lynn. "You'll get to see the inside when you turn thirteen! Johnny, if you have any last words to your girlfriend here then say them now!"
- "Lynn, it has been great working with you for these years!" Johnny said. "You've been an exceptionally good agent! Therefore, I hereby give you the role as the new leader of Sector R!"
- "Thank you, Johnny!" Lynn said and hugged him, not able to hold her tears back.
- "I would hug you back if it weren't for the handcuffs! Don't cry, now! You'll make a great leader!"
- "It's not that! It's the fact that you're now a teenager, I might have to fight you someday! I might have to hurt you!"
- "I don't want to hurt you, Lynn!"
- "I don't want to hurt you either, but I'm afraid there will come a time when we won't have a choice!"
- "That's it, times up!" Numbuh 86 said and pushed Johnny into the room. "Just you and me now, teenager! Any final words?"
- "Numbuh 86, you are a good agent and you do your job great!"
- "Thank you, but flattery won't help you!"
- "I just wanted to add that if you would stop being a bitch to everyone you meet then you might've had some friends too!"
- "Oh, look at me!" she said with sarcasm. "I'm a teenager, I can swear without upsetting my parents!"
- "Could you just get this thing over with?" he said. "My back itches and I can't reach it because of the handcuffs!"
- "Fine with me!" she said and sat him in a chair, ready to drain his memories.
Just as the process was to begin, the base got attacked by teenagers.
- "You won't get you hands on this one, teenagers!" Numbuh 86 said and pulled out a ketchup-gun.
- "Throw a perfume-pellet at her!" one teenager said to another, who did so.
- "Ah, my eyes! My nose!" Numbuh 86 said and passed out.
- "Leave her, this guy's our target!" one of the teenagers said and pulled out a black bag and covered Johnny's face with it.
