Note: The events of this story take place prior to Operation: T.R.A.I.N.I.N.G., since in this story, Sonia and Lee are not operatives yet.

One ordinary Tuesday morning, A little girl was sitting in the back seat of a car. This girl had her blonde hair in 2 high pigtails held by pink-red hairbands, and she wore a pink blouse with a white collar and fringes, violet round earrings, violet bracelets on both her wrists, a pink-red pleated skirt, pink knee socks, and violet T-strap Mary Janes with white soles. This girl was none other than Sonia Harper. Why was Sonia sitting in the back seat of a car? Well, her dad was taking his eldest daughter to work. Sonia had her arms crossed, and was sulking.

"But Daddy!" Sonia said. "I don't wanna go to work with you!"

"Oh, come on, dear!" Mr. Harper said to his eldest daughter. "You'll have a fun time! There'll be plenty of boys there, and your old man will make you the best dish you've ever had!"

"But Dad!" Sonia interrupted. "You can't bring your daughter to 'Bring your son to work day!'!"

"But Sonia my dear!" Mr Harper replied. "You don't have a brother! Only a little sister!"

Sonia sat back in her car seat as her dad continued his way to work. Until at last, they'd arrived.

"Well, we're here, young lady! Your dad's tasty work place!" Mr. Harper said.

Sonia got out of the car and was hit by the door of another car. As it turned out, one of the restaurant workers was Chester.

"Hey!" Sonia shouted. "Watch it, you fat, clumsy-"

But Mr. Harper interrupted his daughter's word.

"Good morning, Chester! I hope you don't mind me bringing my daughter to work. I don't have a son, and my other daughter is only 4."

"Oh, it's okay, Toby. We'll do our best to…." And Chester said in a sinister manner. "serve her!"

And Chester walked off to work.

"Oh, that Chester sure is a pester, huh?" Mr. Harper said. "Anyway, we'd better get to my restaurant. I don't wanna be late."

And Mr. Harper took Sonia to the restaurant named 'Rester Aunt'. They had walked inside. And Sonia saw multiple boys.

"Hi!" Said the boys. Many employees had brought their sons to work, making Sonia the only girl in the restaurant.

"Isn't that Sonia Harper?" Asked a fat boy.

"But she's a girl." Said a boy of African descent.

"She must have more Rainbow Monkeys than any of us." Said Carlos. The very same Carlos who was spanked by Count Spankulot one night.

"Stupid boys." Sonia mumbled.

"Come on, Sonia." Her dad said. "You can play with your boyfriends later."

"Bye, Sonia!" called the boys. "See you later!"

Mr. Harper brought his eldest daughter to the kitchen to show her how he makes delicious meals for their hungry customers.

"Why don't you sit on this stool over here, and watch how your pop makes these delicious meals for everyone."

"Okay then." Sonia said reluctantly. She was bored, bored, bored. She was hoping her dad would finish with the meal he was cooking. But after 10 minutes, she couldn't take it anymore.

"Daddy. Can I go to the bathroom please?" Sonia asked.

"Sure thing, young lady!" her dad replied. "It's on the right side of the restaurant."

And that's what Sonia did…. or so her dad thought.

"Stupid 'bring your son to work day'." Sonia grumbled. "At times like this, I wish Tania was the older sister so I wouldn't have to come here!"
Suddenly, numerous boys ran across the restaurant in a stampede fashion. They all trampled over Sonia. Their parents let then run around, enjoying themselves. Sonia felt frustrated and lay flat on her belly.
"Scratch that." Sonia muttered. "At times like this, I wish I had a brother. If my parents ever have another kid, it'd better be a boy."

As Sonia got up, she noticed how bright it is. Not too dark.
'At least it's not too dark in here. That way, I can see if any boys are running around this place.' She thought.
Suddenly, the boys started to run in the opposite direction they came, and they noticed they were pushing Sonia. Where they were taking her, she didn't know if she was going to like it one bit. The room Sonia was pushed into was very dark. Sonia screamed as she went in.

Sonia woke up to find herself in a room. There were signs everywhere. Signs saying the food inside the rooms. One said "Ice Cream", one said "Chocolate", one said "Birthday Cake", one said "French Fries", one said "Cookies", and one said "Cheeseburgers".
"Wh-where am I?" Sonia asked herself. "And I don't even know which way to get out."
Sonia got up, looking for a way out, but she didn't know where. Suddenly, she realised something.
"This is a trap!" Sonia said to herself. "Whoever is running this restaurant is duping me and all the boys!"
Sonia found a sign that says "EXIT".
"The perfect escape!" Said Sonia.
Sonia tried to get out, but the door was locked.
"Don't leave, Sonia!" The boys told her. "Join us for food!"
Sonia found a hatch near the room that said "Chocolate".
"Hmm…" Sonia thought. "This must be the way out! Enjoy your trap, Boys!" Sonia said out loud, as she opened the hatch.
Sonia hopped into the hatch, but as she fell a quarter of the way in, a green yo-yo caught her and tied her up, pulling her back up.
"Sonia!"
Just as the yo-yo was pulling her back up, Sonia turned around to see that the yo-yo belonged to a boy who looked to be of Asian descent, and he was wearing an oversized brown ushanka, a blue shirt with an orange stripe, navy shorts, and brown sneakers.
"Lee?!" Sonia said in surprise. "What are you doing here?"
"My mom's a waitress, and it's 'Bring your son to work day'." Lee answered.
"We'll talk about this later!" Sonia said. "We have to get out of here fast!"
"Leave it to me, Sonia!" Lee said, as he started searching for another way out.
Sonia looked around, worried that all the rooms were dark. She would never forget about that night Spankulot unintentionally spanked her grandparents.

"Um, Lee. You'd better make sure there's no darkness in those rooms." Said Sonia, still quivering with fear.
Lee looked around, thought for a minute, and he decided on the room that says "Chocolate".
"This way!" Lee called.
"B-but it's dark in there!" Sonia shivered. "I don't like the dark!"
"Take my hand, Sonia." Lee told his blonde friend. "You'll be just fine."
And that's what Sonia did. She grabbed Lee's hand and they went into the room that says "Chocolate". But soon, they started to fall down.

As Lee and Sonia woke up, they noticed….
"Hey! This isn't a chocolate room!" Lee exclaimed.
"This is a salad room!" Sonia said angrily.
The room was a giant salad tosser, and it was filled with giant vegetables. As it turns out, the room belonged to Chester.
"Oh ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho!" Chester chuckled deviously. "You snot-nosed brats have fallen into my ingenious trap! All my life, it's been my dream to treat kids as bad as can be! You and all those other snot-nosed boys will be part of a meal I'll be serving my customers! And then my employees will be working for another buh-million hours for me! Oh ho ho ho ho ho ho ho!"
"Uh, not all of us are boys." A boy of Australian descent said. "There's a girl in here."
"Oh, how rude of me!" Chester corrected himself. "But either way, I shall be sending this girl with the boys into my salad!"
And also, it turns out the boys and Sonia were in a salad tossing machine.
"We've gotta get outta here!" Sonia told Lee. "But how?"
Lee looked at the top of the salad tosser.
"I know just the solution." Said Lee, holding his yo-yo.
So Lee tossed his yo-yo into the roof of the tosser and he pulled himself up.
"Hey! What about me?" Sonia asked herself.
"I'll come back for you later!" said Lee. "I've gotta stop this crazy thing!"
"Wait! Lee!" Sonia cried.

Lee looked around to see where Chester was. But lucky for him, Chester was nowhere to be seen, but unlucky for him, he didn't know what will be controlling the salad tosser.
"Hmm…. I should spin my yo-yo around for clues." Lee said to himself.
"Lee! Get us outta here!" Sonia cried.
"But first, I have to save my friend and all the other boys." Lee said with determination.
So Lee went back to the salad tosser.
"Here, grab this!" Lee called to Sonia, as he sent his yo-yo down.
"Got it!" Called Sonia. She grabbed hold of the yo-yo and started climbing.
It wasn't long before all the boys were climbing the yo-yo string. The last boy, who turned out to be of British descent, had his doubts of climbing the yo-yo string.
"I don't know! I'm scared." He said.
"Trust me!" Lee called out.
The boy grabbed the yo-yo, and Lee pulled the yo-yo up, dragging the boy with it. Suddenly, Lee started to lose his balance and ended up falling into the salad tosser.
"No! Lee!" Sonia cried, as her yo-yo-spinning friend fell into the tosser.

This didn't stop the boys from finding a machine.
"Look! A great big Yipper video game!" Called a tall blond boy, as he and all the other boys ran over to play with it.
"No! Wait! Lee's still in there!" Sonia called.
As the boys were playing with the machine, the salad tossed out of control. Even Lee was being tossed around out of control. He was screaming as all the giant vegetables were flying around with him.

Just then, Chester was walking back into his room.
"Ho ho ho! Chester, you genius!" He said to himself. "You've found a way to dispose of these boys after your failed attempt to feed that girl to sharks. Now to see if these boys will be salad."
But as Chester came back into his room, he saw….
"Oh no! These boys are playing with my machine! This means…. My customers will want their money back! Oh ho!"
Then, the boys found Chester and landed on top of him. This frustrated Chester.
"Hey! Get off of me! You're supposed to be in the salad!" Chester yelled. "You're fired!"
Then, one boy went over to push a button on the salad tosser, curious about what it does. He did so and….
"I'm winning!" He cried.
"My scheme to ruin kids' lives is ruined!" Chester groaned in defeat.
Chester ran out of the room, preparing for the worst.

Just then, Sonia spotted Chester and chased after him.
"Wait! Wait for me!" Sonia cried as she chased after Chester.
"Oh no! She's after me!" Chester said.
"You have to turn off that tosser! Lee's in there!"
Sonia was still after Chester. Suddenly, Sonia tripped over. Chester walked back to see Sonia and he picked her up. He was preparing to do something with her, all because of her and the boys ruining his scheme.
"Uh…. Lee's in your salad tosser." Sonia said, begging for mercy.
"You! You, little girl, have ruined my plan!" Chester said in a menacing manner.
"U-u-uh, I think it's best we talk this over." Sonia continued to beg for mercy.
"For ruining my scheme," Chester started begrudgingly. "I am going to toss you and all those snot-nosed boys into my deep dark basement!"

This really grabbed Sonia's attention.
"Dark…. Base…. MENT?!"
Sonia's eyes were bright red, her teeth were sharp, and she was at her maddest.
"Yes. My deep dark basement where there's no light whatsoever! You'll never see-"
Before Chester could finish his sentence, Sonia, screaming with anger, tackled Chester to the ground.
Soon, all the boys ran out of the salad room and saw what was happening. Sonia was beating up Chester.
"I DON'T WANNA GO INTO THE BASEMENT! NO! NO! NO! I HATE THE DARK!"
Sonia was scratching Chester, and then she jumped on him like a trampoline.
"Alright! Alright! No basement for you!" Chester begged.
"Um, I hate to stop your fight, Sonia," said one boy. "But look!"
Sonia looked back into her building to see….
"Take cover!" Sonia cried, as she and the boys found the cars to cover themselves up with.
The room exploded, vegetables flew everywhere. Tomatoes, carrots, lettuces, corn, and broccoli landed on many cars. Fortunately for Sonia, no vegetables landed on her dad's car. But something did land on her dad's car. The thing that did land was Lee. He felt dazed and confused. Sonia, happy that Lee was alright, hugged him.
"Lee! You're alright! I thought you would turn into a part of the giant salad!" Sonia said gleefully.
Lee just blushed at this, though he was still dazed and confused.
Chester just lay on the ground, very unconscious, and all because Sonia beat him up.
"Don't let that girl's innocent looks fool you." Chester moaned.

Later, Sonia went back into the kitchen to see her dad work.
"So, how did you like your trip to the bathroom?" Toby asked his daughter. "Did everything come out okay in there?"
"Um…. Yeah." Sonia lied.
Little did Mr. Harper realise that Sonia hadn't gone to the bathroom. She just went exploring the restaurant.
"Say, it turns out there's going to be a 'Bring your daughter to work day' next week! How does that sound, dear?" Toby said.
"Bring your daughter to work day?" Sonia said. "That makes more sense."

The following week, Sonia was taken to her dad's work. It was 'Bring your daughter to work day'. As it turns out, Mr. Harper brought his wife and both their daughters to work. Mr. Harper sent both his daughters out to play.

But with Lee, even though he was a boy, his parents still brought him to "Bring your daughter to work day". Luckily, Lee's father was given the day off so he could go to his wife's work.
"Mom! You can't bring your son to 'Bring your daughter to work day'."
"Well, I don't have a daughter." Said Faye. "And your brother's only 12."
"Stupid 'Bring your daughter to work day'." Lee mumbled. "At times like this, I wish I did have a sister."
But he lightened up when he saw Sonia's parents.
"Mr. and Mrs. Harper? What are you doing here?" Lee asked in surprise.
"I work here." Said Mr. Harper. "And I'm the reason Sonia came here last week."
"And I've been given the day off." Said Mrs. Harper. "We're preparing something for your little friend Sonia."
"Cool!" Said Lee.

Meanwhile, as Sonia went outside, waiting for the something her family was planning, she read a sign. It said….
"Kids Next Door. Either you're in, or you're old." Sonia read. "I'm a little girl, so I'm in!"

Soon, Lee came outside to see Sonia.
"Sonia!" Said Lee. "It's time to come back to Rester-Aunt!"
And Lee covered Sonia's eyes.
"Eek! It's dark!" Sonia said in a frightened manner.
Lee continued to drag Sonia back into Rester-Aunt and uncovered her eyes.
"It's even darker than before!" Sonia screamed. "Someone turn the lights on!"
And that's what Lee did. He used his yo-yo to turn the lights on. And then….

"Surprise!"
Sonia's parents, Lee's parents, and Sonia's sister were there, and there was a banner that said "Happy Birthday Sonia!".
"Whoa! I thought you'd forgotten my birthday!" Sonia said with tears in her eyes.
"Here's the cake we've baked for you." Sonia's dad told her.
And there it was. A chocolate cake with pink and red icing, and 7 purple candles, indicating that Sonia is 7 today.
"Seven at last!" Sonia said.
"Go on. Make a wish!" Mrs. Harper said.
Sonia thought for a second, and she blew all her candles out.
"So, what did you wish for?" Tania asked.
"Oh, I can't say!" Said Sonia. "Or it won't come true."
"Oh, you can tell me." Said Lee.
"Later." Sonia winked.

Later, after the party was over, Lee and Sonia were walking outside.
"Come on, Sonia." Said Lee. "You can tell me your wish! And I hope to make it come true."
"Okay then." Said Sonia. "I wish to join the Kids Next Door!"
"Cool!" Said Lee. "I've always wanted to join the Kids Next Door too! Since I've turned 7 a few months ago, I'm already old enough. You're old enough now! So let's do it! We're going to make your birthday wish come true!"
"Oh, Lee! Thank you! You'll make my wish come true? And you'll join the Kids Next Door too? Awesome!" Sonia said with glee.
And Sonia lifted Lee's left earflap, and kissed his left cheek. Soon, the 2 kids held hands, hoping they'll be together, even in the Kids Next Door.
