Codename: NOTES LOVE

A/N: In the last chapter, I had Lenny help Kuki. Some people were wondering why Lenny would help her. The episode where The Kids Next Door and The Delightfuls were backstabbing each other, Lenny felt guilty of all he's done and he thought that this would be a small way to pay back some of it. Also, I needed some way for Kuki to see Wally's note and I always liked Lenny. Hopefully this chapter answers all questions. That's right! A full chapter on the Delightfuls P.O.V.!

Disclaimer: I still do not own Codename: Kids Next Door. Check again in my dreams.

Delightfuls' Game Room, the Next Day, Lenny's P.O.V.

It has been a long day. Lately, our delightful habits have become weaker. They have weakened enough for the five of us to become our own person again. We our still the Delightful Teenagers From Down the Lane, but now we don't walk together or speak all at the same time. We speak together quite a lot just out of habit.

I was thinking about Kuki. All of us Delightfuls have been extremely rude to the KND/TND. I hope that in some small way, me helping Kuki would pay back some of what we owe for all of the torture and pain. What I have begun to realize is that the Delightfulization process Father put us through allows us to mature faster than kids and teen our own age. I now realize how despicable Father is for all he has made us do to children who are in the same organization that we were once so proud to be in. The older I get, the easier it is to remember what we have done when we were little traitor dudes.

"Lenny, what are you thinking of?" Ashley asked me.

"Yes, Lenny, what is wrong?" Ogie, Rick and David said at the same time.

Ashley is the tall girl with the bow in her hair. Rick is the short blonde boy. David is the tallest boy. Ogie is the short and stout girl. I'm Lenny, the one with the helmet. Well, I was the one with the helmet. Father complained one day, saying that it made me too out of place from the rest of the Delightfuls so I'm now wearing my braces. Those protruding braces that make me look like a freak.

"I was thinking of our prisoner. Do you think she is comfortable?" I ask, slowly and carefully easing me way into them letting me give Kuki full comfort and not have to sneak it.

"Silly Lenny, why should we care about her prisoner?" Ashley lied. I've known her so well for so long that I know exactly when she is lying.

"You know exactly why, Ashley. I know you feel guilty, too! This is a way to make up for all we have done. And why are we trying to hurt the Teens Next Door anyways? Father couldn't care less right now and what would we have to gain? They will be decommissioned soon anyways. Might as well be friends afterwards. What if they keep part of their memories like we have a sense of our old life? Do we really want to be fighting them our whole lives? Will you ever get tired of it? Is any of this getting through to anyone?" I say. I don't go on rants like this often. I'm usually quiet. The only ones that talk much are Ogie and Ashley. I could see they were all quite shocked.

"You're right, Lenny, but what if Father finds out? What shall we do if he were to think we were rebelling?" Ogie whined.

"Then let him do whatever. We can take him. We were once a strong rebellion. We can be one again! We need to help her out. Besides, I think Father doesn't even care anymore." Rick said. We always knew that of all of us, Rick was the rebel. Rick was the tough guy and I can tell that he won't be a quiet one anymore.

"Rick!" Ashley scolded.

"What? We were all thinking it!" Rick, David and I said at the same time. Then we all laughed.

"Yeah, I guess we were. We really do think the same things sometimes!" Ashley and Ogie said at the same time. We laughed even harder.

"Okay, you guys are right. Lenny, if you want to bring Kuki in here and let her make herself more comfortable than go ahead. Rick, do you want to help me make communications with the TND so we can inform them of Kuki's location?" Ashley said. Always the leader, that Ashley.

Rick nodded as I walked over to where I knew Kuki would be.

I knocked on the door.

"Come in." She said gently.

"Come with me, Kuki." I say then I walk away.

"Okay." She walks over to me. "Where are we going?"

"I'm going to introduce you to my fellow Delightfuls. We're going to revolt against Father. Gather any stuff you have." I say.

"I have it all." She said in a sweet voice. "Thank you."

"You're welcome." I say in return. Finally, we arrive back at the game room. Ogie and David were still sitting down. Ashley and Rick were at the computer trying to make a transmission.

"Lenny, I think it's time we made a proper introduction." Said Ogie. Kuki backed up behind me.

"Ashley, Rick, care to join us for a second?" I ask them.

Soon all of the Delightful Teens stand in a row, perfect posture and the politeness they've shown everyday since Delightfulization.

"Well, you know that I am Lenny. That is Ashley on the left." I pause and gesture towards Ashley. Ashley nods and sends a friendly smile towards Kuki. This smile is different from the evil grins she sends when fighting. This smile was genuine and charming. One by one, I introduce them and in turn, they give their own smile. Slowly, if you're looking closely enough, you begin to see their posture relaxing. They begin to look comfortable and Kuki began to get friendlier.

"You guys are actually not as stuck-up as my friends and I have thought. You are all very kind. Thank you." Kuki said being as polite as she could and happy.

"Well, we have to look a certain way for Father. Slowly over the years, the power the Delightfulization had over us has begun to decrease. We are now strong enough on our own to rebel." Ashley said.

"Yes. I am very excited about that. We are obviously getting confused over the transmission, so if you would like to talk to your friends, then go right ahead." I say.

"We know how to do it! We were just, uh, waiting for you to, uh, come back with Kuki! So that when we did get in touch, Nigel wouldn't hang-up on us! Yes, that's it!" Ashley and Rick said at the same time. Everyone but Ashley and Rick started laughing.

"I'll call them then." Kuki said as she walked over to the computer and expertly worked the keys until Nigel's face appeared on the screen.

"Kuki?!" Nigel screamed. Hoagie was next to him at the computer along with Fanny and Rachel. As soon as Nigel screamed her name, Wally and Abby ran up.

"Kooks! Where are you? We are going to come find you!" Wally screamed.

"I'm with the Delightfuls. The Delightfulness is wearing off and they are going back to normal. They are planning a revolt on Father!" Kuki said. I hoped beyond hope that they would believe us. We were telling the truth. I know my friends when they are lying. I know that they aren't lying. We all hate Father.

"Where is Father?" Hoagie asked.

"He went on a vacation with…" I say.

"My dad." Nigel finished.

"Where did they go?" Hoagie asked.

"Hoagie, I was talking about this last week. They went to England for a month! I explained all of this as soon as my dad told me!" Nigel said. Then he hit Hoagie on the head.

"I have your coordinates. We can come over and get Kuki." Hoagie said as he was rubbing his head. Abby walked up behind him and kissed him on the head.

"Aw! You two got together while I was gone?" Kuki squealed.

"NO! What are you talking about?" Hoagie stuttered. Abby just rolled her eyes.

"We will be there soon." Nigel said.

"Um, could I ask you a favor?" Ashley asked, shy now. She blushed.

"What is it?" Nigel asked in return.

"Could you help us find a way to destroy Father?" Ashley asked.

"Destroy? Destroy as in…" Nigel asked, a little shocked.

"I didn't mean it that way. More like defeat him. I need your help to make sure he never pushes another teen or kid around again!" Ashley said, sounding more like KND/TND than ever before.

"That I can help you with. We are on our way. End transmission." Nigel finished.

The screen went blank. My friends went back to their chairs. All of them except for Rick. Rick went over to a corner and came back with a pink chair.

"For Kuki. Do you want to sit down?" He asked her.

"Thank you very much. Your name is Rick, right?" She asked. He gave her a nod and a smile in return. "Thank you."

"Well, I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm hungry." Ogie said.

"You're always hungry." Remarked David. "But so am I, this time, at least. Does anyone else want anything? We might as well get out snacks for the TND. They are our guests."

"Sure. Kuki, what would you like and do you happen to know what your friends might like?" I asked her.

"Well, we like a lot of things. I'm sure we would be open to many of the things you have here." Kuki said.

"Ice cream and cookies? It isn't much but we could look for other things. We could make root beer floats!" Ashley giggled happily. "Look at me; I'm starting to sound like a kid again! I'm sure all of you would prefer what I suggested over vegetables."

"Yes." We all said at once. Then we all laughed.

"I'll go get it. Anyone wanna come with me?" Ashley asked.

"I will. You know what your friends want and I know what my friends want!" Kuki said as she stood up.

Ashley's P.O.V.

We were finally going to defeat Father. We were finally going to get revenge for him Delighfulizing us. He has been nothing but mean and demanding of us since he 'adopted' us. All of us in Sector Z weren't even related to each other and now a strange evil adult was calling us his children. It was so creepy. First off because he said we were all brothers and sisters. When I wasn't a Delightful, I was dating Lenny!!! That made it so creepy. I just remembered recently of Lenny and I being together. I had liked him when we were first starting off as Delightfuls and I've liked him my whole life. Only recently have I remembered that he used to like me back. I don't know if he does anymore.

I was talking with Rick the other day about un-delightfulization (for lack of a better term) and Rick was saying how he thinks he is on to a new device that will un-delightfulize us. We could be back to our normal selves. We were temporarily un-delightfulized that one mission with Grandfather. Rick says he knows how we can permanently get back to that state. He says that even if he can't get us back to our original selves, than he can at least can our attitude. He can allow our voices to go beyond the monotone and make it easier for us to be kind. Maybe even allow us to be immature again. If he can do that, Lenny and I could be together again.

"We're here. Pick out whatever ice cream you like." I say to her. She looks nervous until I open the freezer. She immediately runs in and picks out 5 small containers of different ice cream.

"I know their favorites. I know this is what they want." She said in her excited voice. I send her a smile and pick out five flavors of my own. Mint chocolate for Ogie. Strawberry for Rick. Orange sherbet for David. Vanilla for myself and rocky road for Lenny. I then grab ten spoons.

I can tell Kuki is lost in her own thoughts. She's probably thinking about that Australian blonde that has a crush on her. Such a sweet couple.

"Your mind on a certain guy?" I ask her.

"Y-yes, actually." She stutters. She didn't expect me to ask her that.

"The blonde boy?" I ask.

She nods. "Wally. I think I love him." She sighed.

"Well, good for you. Everyone who sees the way he looks at you knows he likes you back." I smile.

"Well, is there a guy on your mind?" She asks me.

I almost drop all my ice creams. "Uh-huh."

"Is that a yes or a no?" She giggled.

"Yes." I say reluctantly.

"Who?"

"Lenny." I say truthfully.

"Ew! But aren't you brother and sister?" She gives me a disgusted look.

"Father adopted us but before we were Delightful Children, we were The Little Traitor Dudes. We weren't related. No, actually I think David and Lenny are second cousins. Other than that, we aren't siblings."

"Then why did you use to call each other brothers and sisters?"

"Do you know how much easier it is to refer to them as siblings than say, 'fellow Delightful' or 'friend that is also a Delightful'. We are in no way siblings and as soon as we un-delightfulize ourselves; we will be back to where we once were. Lenny and I use to date." I tell her everything. She listens. I've been waiting too long to tell someone else about all this emotional turmoil. Once everything is off my chest, I ask her about her relationship with Wally.

She explains to me about the notes and how Lenny gave her the one she wrote and the one addressed to her. She told me a summary of what the note said. While we were talking, the ice cream began to thaw so I suggested we talk another time –possibly with Ogie and her female friends- and we ran back to the game room.

The TND had already arrived.

"I've never seen you Delightfuls out of your uniform." Nigel remarked. At that point, all of us look at our clothing. I was wearing a jean skirt with a white belt and a blue t-shirt with converse sneakers.

Rick, David and Lenny were wearing blue jeans –differing in shades and styles- with different colored shirts. They all wore Vans sneakers, again, varying in colors.

Ogie was wearing a full length jean shirt with a green sweater and ballet flats. Over the years, Ogie has lost a lot of weight. She is slightly larger than me. Rick has grown taller. David is still the tallest one. Other than that, we haven't changed much.

"Casual day." David joked. All of the Delightfuls chuckled.

We began to introduce ourselves and get acquainted. We started consuming the ice cream and discussing Father.

We gave in and admitted stealing the notes to impress Father. We explained how our Delightful ways have been weakening, but that day was one of rare days when we feel a strong urge to impress Father and be the way were so many years ago. We've loosened quite a bit.

Instead of speaking all at once, we spoke in turns. Whoever wanted to speak would speak and it was the same way with the TND. It was a comfortable talk.

As the time grew later and later, we agreed to meet gain at their tree house tomorrow. We exchanged cell numbers so we could keep in contact easier. There were also ulterior motives. Rick exchanged numbers with Hoagie to discuss the un-delightfulization. I exchanged numbers with Kuki to discuss earlier topics.

A/N: So how was it? Did you like getting a glimpse into the lives of the Delightfuls? Lenny and Ashley? Un-delightfulization? Give me a review and tell me what you want to see in the next chapter!
