Authors Notes: Now were actually getting to the (duh DUH DUH!) plot... kind of. In addition this chapter has a reference to one of my favorite fanfics "Choktober fest", RoseOfDestiny, if by some miracle you're reading this, you rock. As Glick is German I have typed some of his dialog in German (Cigarette becomes Zigarette). I apologies for the lateness of this chapter, but exam's week has been hell for me and Kamui. P.S. Please join me at the end for a "Special Joke" :p
Disclaimer: If you think I own KND or any of the video game characters in this chapter...
Then you're just silly.
Chapter 4: The Guest List
The C.O.O.L.B.U.S. landed softly in front of a large mansion, and we all quickly filed out. "Guten Tag!" shouted a pudgy boy who was holding a golden rainbow monkey walking stick, which was purely for show. "Velcome to mien party." he stated cheerfully after taking a long drag on his cigarette. "I vas just enjoying a zigarette. I believe it to be very rude to smoke during a party, but I vill be re-joining you all in ein moment." he said pushing his black hair out of his eyes, before walking away to finish his smoke in private.
We entered through the front door and began walking down the beautiful brown corridor. At this time I couldn't help but notice Kuki and Fanny whispering to each other rather loudly. "I can't believe we got to meet Rainbow Monkey Glick!" Kuki shouted quietly (If that makes any sense). "Do ya think he'll let us see his collection?" Fanny responded excitedly "I doubt it, he's probably got them locked in a vault somewhere." Stated Kuki, ending the conversation. We stopped when we came to a door that sounded like people were chatting behind it.
We opened the door and stepped into a large dimly lit room. The floor was composed of milky brown wall to wall carpeting. The walls were a creamy color and were covered with portraits of very old men and women. At the end of the room across from us there was a large table with a small punch bowl.
The table was covered in platters of finger foods of all varieties, even those teeny weeny hotdogs I love so much (please don't let this be a dream). To the right of us was a fire place with a warm, roaring fire. It's mantel was covered with hummel figurines and other knick-knacks, and hanging above the mantel was a replica of the Rainbow Monkey Lisa.
In front of the fire were 2 large green couches and an arm chair strategically placed around a glass coffee table. Seated on the couches were five people. Upon noticing our arrival a young blond girl (no older than us) immediately stood to greet us. "Abigail Lincoln!" she stated happily as she began walking to Abigail. "Well, well." Abigail replied. "If it isn't Henrietta Von Marzipan." Henrietta still looked the same as she did the last time we saw her (A.K.A. The time she turned me into an idiot with caramels). She was still sporting the monocle and the adventuring gear, and her hair was still done in pig-tails. All in all, a hell of a lot better then when she was a boy.
"It is so good to see you again Abigail." She stated in her thick German accent after turning her attention to Abigail. "It's good to see you too, Heiny." Abigail replied giving a soft chuckle. "I though we agreed you weren't going to call me zat horrid name anymore." Henrietta replied looking very un-amused. "Oh lighten up Henrietta. So whats new?" "Well, I did manage to set up a cozy place for mien self in ze TND." The moment the words left her mouth she proudly puffed her chest out and began grinning smugly. "Oh really, and what might that be?" replied Abigail who was generally surprised by this considering Henrietta's previous history with the KND. "I have become ze primary candy supplier for ze TND. I have even enlisted Captain Sticky-Beard to assist with deliveries." Upon hearing this Abigail's jaw immediately dropped. "Sticky Buns is helping the TND. Sticky But the candy PIRATE is actually helping us. Are we talking about the same person?" "Oh yeah." replied Henrietta "He has become very old, and besides everyone has their price." "Well I still don't believe it, but it's great that you got the job." Henrietta's voice took a more serious, almost sad tone as she continued. "I'm not so sure anymore. Everything was going great when I started, I even got a share of the ice-cream reserves." Henrietta's face began to twist in anger. "But zen that jackass Numbuh 447 started putting a higher tax on mien sales. Now I can barely afford to pay sticky-Beard!" whispered Henrietta in anger most likely un-awhear that most of us could hear her. "So anyways, what brings you to the party?" stated Abigail, franticly trying to change the subject before Henrietta started one of her trademark rants. It worked. "Well mien brother Glick is hosting the party and I'd rather be her than watching Sticky-Beard and his crew get shit face at Chocktober fest." "Your brother is Rainbow Monkey Glick!" shouted Fanny and Kuki in unison before rushing over to bother Henrietta with questions about her brother.
During Abigail and Henrietta's extensive conversation Nigel and Wally had begun mingling with the other guests. Nigel was talking with Sonya (Numbuh 83), head of the TND health unit who was still sporting pigtails and was wearing a red skirt, a pink shirt, purple shoes, and purple bracelets much like she did when she was 7, and Collin (Numbuh 447) head of candy storage and trade who was wearing a tight 2pac t-shirt that showed of his thin athletic build, yellow basket ball shorts, and blue running shoes. There conversation mainly consisted of business and the moon base. Even at a party Nigel can't shut up about work. Wally was talking to Ashley (Numbuh 4 ½) who was second in command at TND Hairstyle Headquarters, they always talked when they had a chance. Ashley was a small girl with thin legs and arms, her dark red hair is tied in to pigtails by to differently colored bows (orange on left, blue on right). She wears a baby blue T-shirt with 3 kittens on it (a white cat with black splotches in the middle and an orange tabby on either side) and a orange sweater (un-buttoned), a dark blue skirt, orange socks, white running shoes, and a necklace with 4 gems (ruby, emerald, diamond, and sapphire) shaped like beetles on it. When Ashley came to our school in grade 9 Wally showed her around after he scared off some perverts that were hitting on her, Wally even convinced her to join the TND. "So Wally, have you asked Kuki out yet?" asked Ashley through a mischievous smile. "Hey, keep your voice down. I don't want everyone knowing I like her." whispered Wally, his face turning an amusing shade of red. "Oh come on. It's so obvious you like her." replied Ashley, her smile growing wider from teasing Wally. "Never mind me, have you manged to find a boyfriend?" replied Wally, trying to change the subject before she could further embarrass him. "Actually, I have. Me and Collin have bin dating for a couple months now." answered Ashley. "Collin Grimly, that guy is a total shit head!" "Okay, I'll admit he can be a little... harsh when he's drunk, but he's usually very sweet." "Yeah well I don't trust him." After this the conversation quickly reverted to small talk.
Looking around the room I noticed Zack Hammel (Numbuh 3.14) sitting on the far end of one of the couches with his face buried in his DS, playing what sounded like Diddy Kong Racing. Zack was a well know 2X4 technology expert who served in the war as a strategist. He had long red hair that ended around his shoulders, and his face had quite a bit of acne. He was wearing old bluejeans and a baggy Halo shirt. "Hi Zack, how's life." I said taking the seat next to him. He just ignored me, acting as if I weren't there. I wasn't expected him to act like I was his best friend, I'd only seen him around the moon base and school a few times, but I did expect him to at least fucking acknowledge that I was there. "Playing Diddy Kong Racing huh. My favorite characters Tiptup, what about you." "Will you please leave me alone. I'm in the middle of a race." he stated halfheartedly. "Sorry. Why did you come to a party if you weren't going to at least talk to people." I responded. "The only reason I'm here is because Numbuh 362 (Rachel) made me. Some shit about me being anti-social." he replied without removing his gaze from the DS. Anti-social was right I though the only way he could be more rude is if he told me to fuck off!
The door opened and Glick entered the room, a jolly smile spread across his pudgy face. "Guten tag mien guests." he stated after entering. "It appears that our last 2 guests will not be arriving, so if you will follow me..." Glick was cut off by the sound of the door nob turning. The door opened and a young blond boy stepped in carrying to rainbow monkeys in his arms. "Conner, what are you doing here?" I said. He tuned to face me. "Hi Hoagie, Caleb surprised me after the movie by inviting me to the party, but first he said we had to buy some rainbow monkeys. Aren't they the cutest ones you've ever seen." Conner held up the 2 plush toys that were in his arms, ones tag said Fleet Foot Rainbow Monkey (a bright pink monkey holding a soccer ball), and the others said Song Heart Rainbow Monkey (a dark purple monkey in a Hanna Montana T-shirt). "Hey Caleb." Conner called to his boyfriend "This is my best friend Hoagie." Looking at the guy it wasn't hard to tell who's rainbow monkey was who's, Caleb was weareing a leather jacket, a purple T-shirt, and purple shoes, and his hair was spiked up and dyed dark purple with light purple highlights. This guy had a serious OBSESSION with purple. "AS I VAS SAYING." stated Glick looking rather irritated "If you will follow my I will show you to ze Monkey Room where your rainbow monkeys will be stored for ze duration of ze party." "Uh... one question." asked a curios Nigel. "What's the point of having a rainbow monkey party if there going to sit in a room for the duration of the party?" "Glad you asked." Glick replied "You see, I asked mien assistant to make and mail ze invitations. Considering mien usual party's she assumed that it vas a rainbow monkey party. I found out to late to do anything about it. I had invited mien sister Henrietta in person, which explains why she didn't bring one." "That still doesn't explain why were putting them in a room." Nigel continued. "Well there is going to be food and drink, and we wouldn't want ze little darlings to be damaged." Everyone excepted this and followed Glick to a Small room 4 doors to the right of the party.
Glick flipped on the lights and everyone stepped into the room. The room looked exactly like the party room except for 4 key differences. One, there was a large steel vault at the far end of the room. Two, instead of pictures of old people, the walls were covered with pictures of rainbow monkeys. Three, the fire place mantle had nothing on it. Four, a print of the actual Mona Lisa was hung over the mantel. In addition to this, the light switch was connected to a lamp that was on a small table in the corner of the room witch gave of a dim light. "Everyone place your rainbow monkeys above ze mantle." Glick said cheerfully. "I apologies that there is no other place to put them, but it should be safe since ze fire is not on." Everyone (including Kuki and Fanny) placed there plush toys on the mantle in the order (From left to right) Zack, Sonya, Caleb, Conner, Fanny, Nigel, Me, Kuki, Wally, Abigail, Ashley, and Collin. There was just barley enough room to fit all of them. After setting the monkeys down we all headed back to the party room. All the while I couldn't help but think that this party was going to be very interesting.

"A Little Trivia"
During Ashley's description I mentioned 3 cats on her shirt, the description for the cat in the middle is a very brief description of my cat Bandit (who always has some sort of injury from fighting with other cats despite the fact that he dose not have front claws)
Hoagie is actually speaking for the both of us when he mentions his favourite character in Diddy Kong Racing is Tiptup. :)
The line "But type-oh's make bad medicine is a references to BikdipOnABuses play-through of Super demo world. If you like Mario games then check out some of his videos.
