Sup fellas. So, I got some awesome reviews for my last chapter. Anyway, to my reviewers...
Laurie43- Numbuhs 3 and 4's reactions are going to be well... I wanna say something here except that I don't wanna give anything away.
sstoons3425- The princess name that she introduces herself is actually from another cartoon I watch called Animaniacs. I made sure that the kids weren't exact replicas of their parents to make the story more interesting, but I think I went above and beyond with Rae. But I don't care.
Little Chocolate Fishy- Hell yeah! I would've loved to see Numbuh 86 whip out her mustard gun and nail Numbuh 2 in the face for laughing, but I need him for later.
On with the story!
Year 2009
Sector V stared after Numbuh 86 even after the door had obscured her from sight. Numbuh 60 avoided eye contact by just staring at the floor with a red face. Numbuh 362 stuffed her fist in her mouth to stifle her giggles, but with no avail. Rae had gone back to her friends with that stupid satisfied smirk of hers, high five-ing with Numbuh 43, who was laughing his head off.
"Ahem," Numbuh 1 cleared his throat loudly to get everyone's attention.
Everyone looked back up at him.
"Can we get on with this?"
"Fine," said Numbuh 362's replica. "I'm the leader of Sector V, well, in our time anyway. My name is Lara. But I'm Numbuh Thirty-six-twenty-one if there's anything to do with the Kids Next Door that I have to do." She looked behind her at her brother, and motioned for him to come forward. He shook his head in an embarrassed way. She sighed in an exasperated way, and dragged him by the hand.
He stiffened and locked his jaw in a way that clearly showed that he wasn't used to having this many people staring at him. Lara elbowed him, but he didn't change his composure. She elbowed him again with more force. He grunted and turned red at the face.
He mumbled something incohearable. "What?" Lara said. "What'd ya say?"
He looked up at Numbuh 1, who was adding to the intensity. "Would ya quit staring at me?!" he snapped angrily.
Numbuh 1 was taken aback at the boy's sudden outburst.
"Sorry," said the boy, with a sudden apologetic tone. "My name's Christopher," he said quietly. "But everyone calls me Chris. I'm Numbuh 1362 of Sector V, and her," he pointed at Lara, "twin brother."
It was strange to look at these future kids telling others about themselves. Even stranger than finding out that one day, Numbuhs 60 and 86 were going to be married. And that was strange. There was no doubt that they were Numbuh 362's kids because of the resemblance between her and Lara.
But the boy-Chris-gave a pretty good idea of the identity of the father. Chris was blond, but his hair was almost white, and was cut as a mow-hawk. He wore dark blue, and glasses that had been broken in half, and he had thrown one half away, so one of his eyes were exposed. They were right, they were Numbuh 1's eyes: a light blue. Chris's figure roughly resembled Numbuh 1, though Chris was thinner, and looked more fit.
They knew. They knew who was the father. Sector V knew. Numbuh 35 knew. Numbuh 60 knew. Even the members of the future Sector V knew. But she had to know for sure. She had to know for a fact from their mouths.
"Is Numbuh 1 your dad?" Numbuh 362 asked quietly, turning redder by the second.
Chris and Lara shrugged. "Dunno," said Chris. "No one knows what Numbuh 1's name was. Those files were destroyed when those stupid Teen Ninjas attacked the Moonbase."
"All we know is he's related to The Numbuh 0, The Numbuh 999, Father, and Grandfather," said Lara.
"And of course the history of all the missions he and the legendary Sector V had together. That's it. Nothing else," Chris finished.
Numbuh 5 leaned over toward Numbuh 1. "Numbuh 5 didn't know you were related to Numbuh 999."
"It never came up?" he said innocently.
"Besides," Lara continued, not having heard Numbuh 5, "If our parents were Kids Next Door operatives, they'd be decommissioned wouldn't they? It's not like I can go to the kitchen for breakfast and say all casually, 'So dad, you wouldn't happen to be The Numbuh 1 of the Kids Next Door, possibly the most celebrated operative next to Numbuh 0, would'ya?' He'd probably think it was for a game I'm playing, and he'd just play along. Or he might just think I'm crazy."
"Okay fine," said Numbuh 362. "Whats your dad's name?"
"Nigel," Chris and Lara said at the same time.
"Uno?" she squeaked.
"Good guess, mom." Chris paused. "Wait, you are Rachel Mackenzie, right?"
Numbuh 362 buried in her face in her hands to hide her embarrassment.
Chris and Lara smiled sheepishly, as if they were sorry about the information they had just released.
Like when Rae had revealed her parents' identity, the others decided that laughing was out of the question, but instead looked at their leaders with sorry expressions.
"How old are we?" Numbuh 1 said suddenly.
"S'cuse me?" said Chris, surprised.
"Where your from, how old are we?" He didn't know why he asked that. Probably to count down the years until it happened.
"Thirty-four if I remember right. And I do," said Chris.
"And 'cause they're eleven," said Rae, motioning to Chris and Lara, "that wold make you twenty-one when you got married. Pretty young, don't ya think? Well, adult definition for young anyway."
Numbuh 34 was next to her, squinting her eyes in concentration. "Are you sure they were twenty-one? I mean, did you carry the one when you were adding the q and 98?"
Rae looked at her as if her friend's logic didn't surprise her, though to the present operatives, she did look pretty stupid, except to Numbuh 4, who looked at her as if she was a genius. "Yes, I'm sure. I'm the math whiz, remember?"
"No offense Rae, but I think you screwed up. I'm gonna make sure," she said.
"Don't strain yourself," said Rae.
So? What'ya think? I probably would have made it longer except that I'm at my friend's house, and I can't tell you how funny it is to watch your friends die on Super Smash Bros Brawl. So, review, and I'll check ya later!
