Thank you guys for the reviews! It's great to be back and I'm glad you're enjoying the story!

Here's the new chappie!


-The Next Day…-

Five year old Nigel Uno opened his eyes as the rays from the sun shown through his window. He groaned for a moment and pulled his covers up over his head, not wanting to get up.

"Go away sun!" He cried from under his covers. When the sun did not turn down its brightness, but only seemed to get brighter, Nigel groaned and opened one eye, peeking out between his covers. Something caught his eye and he opened both of his irises wide, excitement beginning to flow through him from his toes up to the tips of his fingers. A wide grin spread over his face as he threw back the covers and bounded over to his calendar to stare at a day he and his dad had been marking off to. Today was the day. Today was the DAY!! He thought happily. He bounced up and down happily for a moment before rushing to his bed and jumping up and down on it happily.

"Today's the day! Today's the day! TODAY'S THE DAY!!!!!" He cried happily.

"Yes, yes, YEEESSS!! TODAY'S THE DAY!! YAY!!! HA-HA WHOO!!" He cried. He hopped off of his bed and rushed to his parents' room, barging in.

"Dad! Dad, c'mon! We've gotta go get up!!" He cried. He rushed up to the bed and climbed on top of it, maneuvering over his mother to where his dad was.

"Sorry mom, C'mon dad!" He said. His parents groaned. They were having a good rest and they were absolutely exhausted from Nigel's birthday the day before. Figures the little kid would still be chalked full of energy, particularly because of how special today was for him as well. Monty groaned.

"Niggeeell…go back to sleep son it's too early. I'll come and wake you up in a moment." He said, somehow managing to move his son of the bed so he could turn inward, pull his wife close to him, and hug her until he dozed back off to sleep. Monty sighed happily as he buried his nose in Sally's hair, her back was to him. She smiled and turned to face him, snuggling into his chest. Nigel grew furious at being ignored and decided to try again. Monty, meanwhile, continued to try ignoring Nigel…for the time being.

"No! C'mon dad, you've gotta wake up! You promised me! Dad! Daaaadd…hello?!!" Nigel said, trying to shake his dad awake.

"Daaaaad. DAD! DAD! Daaaad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad…." He kept going. Sally chuckled a bit before speaking to her husband.

"Should have known he'd get all of his excitement from you." She said, tracing circles on Monty's chest. Monty shivered a little but smirked down at his wife. He interlaced her fingers with his and kissed her forehead before whispering,

"Do you think if we pretend to be asleep he'll leave?" She giggled.

"Hm, I somehow doubt it." She said. Suddenly they felt weight shift on the bed. Monty groaned.

"Dare I even chance to look Sally?" He asked. She shrugged.

"You are the daring, dangerous 'Numbuh Zero'." She said with a smile before laughing a little. Monty groaned before turning over to stare at an angry Nigel Uno who was sitting on his torso. The little boy had his cheeks puffed angrily and his arms folded.

"You promised!" He cried, pouting and frowning even more. Monty couldn't stand for his cute little boy to be mad at him, no matter how much longer he wanted to relax with his wife. He sighed.

"Okay, alright, alright. I'm up Nigel, I'm up." He said with a smile as he sat up and began tickling Nigel. Nigel started laughing.

"YAY! AH-Ha-ha-ha-ha! D-dad stop it!!" He cried happily. Sally sat up and chuckled.

"He's definitely your son Monty." She said, pulling Nigel in for a tight hug.

"Mommy!" He cried happily, throwing his arms around his mother. Sally giggled and lifted up Nigel's shirt before blowing on his tummy. Nigel giggled happily because it tickled. Monty smiled at his wife and his son, feeling rather lucky to have them both at the moment. He walked up and ruffled Nigel's brown hair.

"C'mon son. It's time for us to get ready to go." He said. Nigel sat up happily.

"Yay!" He cried. He gave his mom a kiss on the cheek and tightly hugged her once more before raising his arms up to be lifted by his daddy. Monty picked up Nigel and took him back to his room to help him get dressed. He then told Nigel to wait for him while he got dressed and Nigel did, excitedly bouncing up and down outside his dad's room. Sally, meanwhile, had gotten up and cooked breakfast for her two boys. When Monty emerged, she gave them their breakfast to eat on the go since Nigel was too excited to sit down for breakfast. She also fixed them some lunch and gave Nigel a kiss on the forehead and Monty a kiss on the lips before seeing them off. They both hugged her before leaving and she waved to them as they sped off in Monty's car.

Monty drove to the space station where the transport and artillery ships were used in the various organizations. He gained access to a transport ship and he and Nigel boarded it so they could fly to the Moon Base. Monty strapped Nigel in before taking his position at the wheel and flying off into space. Nigel stared outside of his window at all of the stars, asteroids, and planets that they zoomed past while they flew through the open vessel of space. Monty smiled at his son as he continued to gaze out of the window with wide eyes.

"Wooowwww….." Nigel said in awe. Monty chuckled.

"Dad….this is SO COOL!" Nigel cried happily. Monty grinned and ruffled Nigel's brown, and fluffy hair again.

"I thought you'd like it. But you haven't seen anything yet!" Monty said, winking. This only made Nigel more hyper and he bounced up and down in his seat excitedly. It wasn't long before they reached the Moon Base and landed their ship in the docking bay. Several of the operatives came out and greeted them.

"Welcome back Numbuh Zero, sir! And welcome young Nigel Uno!" They cried as they saluted them. Monty smiled and nodded to them.

"I think it's so cool that they look up to you dad! You're awesome and amazing!" Nigel said. His face then fell as he added with a pout,

"I wish I was a Kids Next Door operative already." Monty chuckled.

"You will be son, but you've got to get through your Cadet Training first. Then you're going to do great things." He said. Nigel beamed happily.

"Alright!" He cried. Monty led Nigel to a room where he typed in a code to open the door. He then led Nigel to a mini computer that he logged into so Nigel could see where all of the different sectors were stationed in the United States on Earth.

"Okay Nigel, get a good look, because one day you're going to have to lead all of these places." Monty said. Nigel looked up at his dad with his wide, blue eyes.

"Those are an awful lot of Sectors dad." Nigel said. Monty nodded.

"I know, and it takes a lot of responsibility to lead them all. Everyone will look up to you and will ultimately seek you for help, and you must be ready to help them. You see Nigel, one day I won't be here and you're going to have to take my place." Monty said. Nigel frowned.

"Where are you going?" He asked curiously.

"Huh?"

"You said one day you won't be here. Where will you go? Don't you love me and mommy still?" He asked sadly. Monty smiled softly and stooped down to his son's level.

"Nigel, nothing will ever stop me from loving you and your mom. But one day…well…one day I won't be able to stay in my body…I'll have to leave and go somewhere else…but my spirit will always be with you." He said, knowing Nigel probably didn't understand.

"But why? And when?" Nigel asked, with tears welling up in his eyes. Monty chuckled and wiped the tears from his face.

"Not for a long, long, long, long, LOOONNGGG…time, so you have absolutely nothing to worry about, okay?" He asked, winking. Nigel sniffled and nodded before throwing his arms around his father.

"I love you dad." He said. Monty smiled and hugged his son tighter.

"I love you too son." He then stood with Nigel in his arms and continued explaining to his son about the different Sectors on the map of the Earth. Nigel frowned and pointed to a Sector rather far away from the US.

"What about that place? Way down there?" He asked. Monty frowned.

"That's Antarctica. You're never to go there, do you understand me Nigel? At least not until you are old enough. It's very dangerous there." Monty said. Nigel looked at his dad.

"But I thought a ruler could do whatever he wanted." Monty sighed.

"There's more to ruling than just getting your way."

"Really?! Like what?!" Nigel asked, his eyes going even wider. Monty paused for a moment.

"Well…there's…" Suddenly, Numbuh 101 came through the door. He looked up when he saw his boss.

"Numbuh Zero sir! What a surprise it is to see you here on Moon Base! And with the young master Nigel Uno! It certainly is an honor!" He said, rushing up to them. Nigel rolled his eyes. He didn't like Matt to much because he was…well…sort of a fan boy…and a bit clingy.

"Hey! Do you mind if I get Nigel's autograph sir? I mean, I already have his hand and footprints from when he was younger and an autograph of him at each age up until now, but I don't think I have it in red! And he IS, after, the future Supreme Commander of the AND! Oh, it's so exciting!" Matt said. Monty laughed.

"Sure thing Numbuh 101." He said, winking at his son. Matt squealed excitedly before handing Nigel a red crayon and a piece of paper. Nigel hesitated a bit before signing, after which Matt promptly but carefully folded the paper and placed it in his pocket.

"FINALLY! I've got the future Nigel Uno's autograph in RED! Oh man, the boys back at the clubhouse will be SOOO JEALOUS!" He cried. Monty shook his head and laughed.

"Why are you here Numbuh 101?" He asked, folding his arms. Nigel rolled his eyes when he noticed a fly buzzing around the room. He frowned. Matt answered his supreme commander,

"Oh! I usually come in here to verify the morning reports of the various sectors. May I run them by you sir?" He asked. Monty nodded. Nigel then sighed; he knew that when adults or older kids talked it was boring business stuff. So, he took out a mini toy water gun his after had given him and used it to practice shooting at the bug he had seen fly into the room. He didn't like bugs very much anyway. Meanwhile, Matt was speaking like crazy.

"Well, the busy from Sector B is that the Rainbow Monkeys are going Ape…and…" He continued, when Monty noticed Nigel's behavior.

"What are you doing son?" He asked in a whisper so Matt could not hear them. Nigel shrugged and answered his father.

"Target practice, but I don't think this thing works." He said, shaking the toy. Monty stooped to down and put one arm around his son while placing his other hand on Nigel's where the water gun was being held.

"That' because you've got a moving target, you need a still one." He said, eyeing Matt as he continued to ramble on, oblivious to what the others were doing. He then spoke up to get Matt's attention.

"Excuse me, Numbuh 101? Would you mind turning around?" He asked. Matt nodded.

"Oh yes! Sure, anything for you…Mr. Numbuh Zero, SIR!" He cried, standing in attention and saluting before turning his back to the two. Monty spoke to Nigel,

"Now, spread your legs just a little, like that, good. Get firm grip on the weapon and breathe in and out. When you get ready to fire, hold your breath a bit, it'll help keep your aim steady." He said. Matt overheard and looked back tat the two.

"What's going on?" He asked.

"Target Practice." Monty said simply. Matt nodded in understanding.

"Ah…yes! Of course…Target Practice….TARGET PRACTICE?! Oh no! No, no, no, NO sir! I can't, I've got too…" Matt tried, turning to face Monty again. Monty just motioned for him to turn back around before addressing his son.

"Now, try not to make a sound." He said. Matt sighed.

"Oh, this is SO humiliating! In front of my boss and his son too?" He thought to himself. Matt then froze when it got quiet.

"What are you telling him Numbuh Zero? Numbuh Zero? Nigel Uno sir?" He asked, looking around and unable to see them anywhere. Suddenly, Nigel fired, blinding Matt a bit by shooting water in his eyes. Matt screamed and covered his eyes while Nigel jumped out and then rammed Matt into the ground, holding the toy weapon in his hand.

"HA! Take that bad guy!" He cried, pointing the weapon in Matt's face before squirting him with the water gun again. Matt groaned and Monty laughed.

"That was very good, son!!" He said. Nigel grinned and bound back up to his father.

"You think so dad?!"

"You're quite a shot! A chip off the old block, if I say so myself!" Monty said,

ruffling Nigel's hair. Nigel laughed. Matt sat up and groaned as he rubbed his backside again when another younger female operative entered.

"Numbuh 101 sir!" She cried, saluting.

"Yes, what is it numbuh 203?"

"Sir! News from below on Earth!" She said. Matt gasped and his eyes grew wide at what he heard and he knew he had to tell Numbuh Zero immediately! He turned to interrupt his leader.

"Numbuh Zero!! It's…it's the Negatives sir! They've taken to trying to invade Cleveland!" Matt cried. Monty frowned and rushed back to the docking bay.

"Numbuh 101, you'll have to take Nigel home!" He said. Nigel pouted.

"Aw dad, can't I come?" He asked, following after his dad. Monty put his hands on Nigel's shoulders to stop him.

"No, son! It's too dangerous. Stay with Numbuh 101." Monty said, before rushing back to his ship, warming up the engine and taking off. Nigel frowned and screamed into the air.

"AWWWW-MAN! No fair! I never get to go anywhere!" He cried, kicking at invisible dust. Matt put a hand on his shoulder.

"Oh, young master. One day you shall rule." He said. He then took Nigel's hand in his own and led him to his ship that he himself had used to get to Moon Base, since he was taking Nigel back home. He continued,

"Then you can beat those slobbering, mangy, stupid Negatives from dawn to dusk!" He said. Nigel sighed a little and thought about this as he and Matt boarded the ship and Matt drove them back home.
