Brainwashed Chapter 3: A Sneaky Attack

I liked the last chapter and who guessed what happened to Hoagie and Nigel? By the way I REALLY don't like Hoagie so he isn't in this story much as a good guy!

Onward we march.

I got up out of bed, or blanket in wrestling ring, and walked through to the lounge. Before I realised that I hadn't got dressed. So I was standing in my boxer shorts and a vest in front of Kuki. Repeat, KUKI!! I rushed back to me room to get properly ready and came out ready for the mission. I came back through to the lounge, where Abby had made breakfast for us, and I saw that Abby had her accessory belt on and Kuki had her baseball bat beside her. Why they just gave her a baseball bat is WAAAAAAAAAAY beyond my comprehension. Oh look, another long word, I am hanging around with Nigel too much or is some of his soul inside me. Freaky. So we ate breakfast in silence and thought of what we needed to do in the mission today. Operation Get Back Operatives. I made up the name. Since we lost the bus when we tried to get Hoagie back, we were going to walk there, or hitchhike with some stranger, but that would be an adult driving so we can't chance it. We picked up our stuff and walked out of the tree house to get our friends back.

"We're here. The Delightful Mansion" said Abby who had taken the role of leader since Nigel was captured "let's go"

We found a window and I cut a hole in it with my laser swords so we could climb in. Abby first, then Kuki, then yours truly. Abby pulled out a small heat vision telescope from her belt and checked for any other life forms in the building. Nadda. So we proceeded onwards through the mansion. Probably one of the most important missions we've eva' done. Then a thought hit me. How did they get a mansion anyway? I mean they don't look loaded and I don't think Father has a job, so how did they get a cool house? Well we scouted round and we found no one and nothing in this huge house. The house was deserted, repeat, this house was deserted. The only sound that could be heard was our footsteps, our breathing and Kuki's humming. Yes, she was humming that stupid Rainbow Donkeys song AND ON A VERY IMPORTANT MISSION TOO! I would have yelled at her to shut up if we weren't in our worst enemies' house so I had to put up with it. Even though I love 'er, I do get annoyed with those Rainbow Monkeys VERY easily. Numbah 5 was taking this mission very seriously and it looked like she'd stop at nothing to find Numbah1. I thought I heard something but it was just Kuki. We found our way back to the window, the mission a failure considering we didn't get our friends back. As we climbed out none of us saw the S.p.i.d.e.r.C.a.m. on the roof, watching our every move.

Later we got back to the tree house to find that the door was unlocked. That was the first strange thing. Then we found some opened packs of chips on the breakfast bar that weren't there when we left. Then we heard music coming from Nigel's room. Strange boring music. I picked up one of my swords and waked into me friend's room. The light was off so when I turned it on, I was surprised to see Nigel sitting on his bed. Like he had never disappeared.

"Numbah1?" I yelled and the other two ran into the room too. Kuki just ran and hugged him as soon as she got in while Numbah 5 leaned against the door, as casual as ever. She acted like it was no big deal but I knew that she was greatly relieved.; Me Numbah 4 instinct helped me there. Numbah 1 explained what had happened to him.

"Well they stuck me in a cell and I out smarted Numbah2" he retold "I got him back to normal and we both escaped. He's working on the bus now!"

I ran to his room and sure enough, he was there, working on the bus. The only unusual thing was he had the goggles, that he usually has on the top of his head, were over his eyes so we couldn't see them. I just ignored it anyway. We talked that night as if we hadn't been separated and we made jokes and made fun of the Delightful Dorks. Although Nigel and Hoagie didn't laugh as forcefully when we did that. We looked at the time and went to bed at ten thirty. I yawned and wrapped myself in my blanket as I went to sleep. I was snoring so loudly, that I didn't hear the window open, or the sounds of four pairs of feet walk over to Nigel's and Hoagie's rooms, or the laughter of the Delightful Children. The only thing that woke me up, or could wake me up, was the scream of me damsel in distress. Kuki. I jumped out of bed, shoved on me hoodie and pants and ran to Numbah 3's room, me hands in fists. My swords were in my pocket but if it was someone like The Toilenator (A/N: is that him? If it isn't then could someone tell me how to spell it?) then I wouldn't need them. The door was closed when I got there and I saw Abby running behind me. It was only us two at the door, but where was Nigel or Numbah2? I kicked the door open and there was Kuki, fully dressed, strapped on her bed by her blankets and the Delightful Losers were crowded around her. I only knew it was them because of their eyes, shining in the darkness, and I thought there was a few too many. But I didn't care. I saw one of them hold out a small bug like thing and went to put it on the back of Kuki's neck. I yelled out and sent that one flying with a jump kick. I saw the bug fall to the ground and shatter beside the one who was holding it.

Nigel.

I growled at those freaks with their weird eyes and noticed someone else. Hoagie was with them too. They had two of my friends captive and with those weird eyes. They even had Nigel in that blue suit! I had two objectives then.

Save Kuki and

GET THE HELL OUT OF THERE!

I pushed one of the many piles of soft toys over those kids, untied Kuki and ran. At the door Abby joined us and the three of us ran out of the tree house, out of Nigel's back yard and across the street. We decided to go to my house, since it was the furthest away and it would give us a bit more time to make a plan. As we got half way there, it started to rain. Not just little drops. HUGE drops of rain. It was like the flood in Noah's ark except without the flood and the ark and the guy called Noah. We were soaked by the time we got to my front door. It was around midnight and I rung the door bell. I heard my dad shouting something about callers at a late hour and how he might give the person a good beating unless they had a good reason. He opened the door in his bath robe with a grumpy face, until he saw it was me.

"Wallabee?"

"Yeah dad, it's me" I murmured "well the thing is that the three of us need a place to stay tonight"

"Three of you?" he asked "what about Nigel and that fat kid?"

Kuki giggled at this and I quickly made up an excuse.

"Well Numbah1 is staying with his grandma while they get their house sprayed for mossies" I said in a hurry to make him understand "and Numbah 2 is um... staying with Numbah 1 too. Numbah 3 and Numbah 5 said they would be at Numbah 1's tree house tonight but he took the key so we need a place to stay! So can we?"

"What kind of parent would say no?" answered me dad "but your guests will have your room and you can sleep on the couch"

"OK!" we all said and we rushed up to my room to talk.

"Hey" said my dad suddenly, he pointed at Kuki "aren't you the one the Wallabee lov..."

"Dad! Shark!" I yelled and he turned around wildly, giving us an escape route.

I opened my door and they peered into my room. I just had time to hide the photo of Kuki in a love heart frame before they could see it. They both looked around at the posters in my room.

"What da 'eck is AFL?" asked Abby as she pointed to a poster the said "The Essendon Bombers" at the top. There were many posters like this on my walls.

"The AFL is the Australian Football League" I explained and Kuki laughed.

"Australian?" she laughed "no silly, were in America!"

Abby and I sweat dropped as Kuki just smiled sweetly. I showed the girls around my room and stuff like what to touch and what not to touch. We would have talked more but me mum told us to 'stop that racket' so I grabbed me sleeping bag and walked down stairs. I took one of my swords with me, just in case.

I had the strangest dream. I was in secret lab in the Delightful Loser's mansion. Around me were lots of machines and I was strapped to a stone table by big leather straps. In the darkness, I saw eighteen eyes around me. The blue Delightful Children eyes. The light came off and I saw the Delightful Weirdoes plus Hoagie, Nigel, Abby and, worst of all, Kuki! They were all Delightful Children and they were trying to turn me into one too! Kuki was passed a small bug thing and she held it out at my neck.

"Come and join us Wallabee" she said in the Delightful Children voice and she place the bug on the back of my neck. As soon as it touched my skin I screamed out in pain and I woke up. I was panting and drenched in sweat and Abby ran down the stairs. She jumped over the banister and got into a fighting position. I heard Kuki up the stairs pull out her bat and follow her friend down to the living room.

"Wha's wrong Numbah 4?" asked the African American girl and I calmed down a bit.

"It was just a dream" I said and Kuki felt sympathetic.

"What was it about?' she asked, sitting down beside me.

"Well I was in a laboratory in the Delightful Children's mansion and everyone, you, Abby and the other two were Delightful Children too. And one of you" I didn't say that it was Kuki who did it "put this bug thing on me neck and I turned into one of them" I shuddered at the memory and Kuki put an arm around my shoulders. I blushed and tried to hide me face. Kuki was saying something 'bout how she deals with bad dreams but Abby looked like she was thinking.

"Ya know" she said in a slow voice "y'all might have found out why our team mates are against us now. Those bug things might be what has been put on them to make them evil."

"Yeah but what exactly do they do and how do we get rid of them?"

Chapter three under wraps! I didn't think this was as funny as the other ones but there were funny moments.
