And now...is where...the truth (and some weird parts of this story) is revealed! Answering the question of what happened to Numbuh 362, well, my version, which is supposed to keep 1/362 going on.

By the way, I edited Chapter 9, I forgot to put some stuff, it's a little better now (it was the part where Numbuh 362 and Numbuh 1 were having a conversation alone).

Also, sorry this took so long to put up. A word of advice to people who aren't in high school yet: It doesn't matter how high your grades are, DO NOT take too many hard classes in your Freshman year.

Disclaimer: For the last time...I DO NOT OWN KND!

"Hello, Numbuh 362." Numbuh 74.239 said.

"Hi?" Rachel replied.

"Let us get to the point, Numbuh 362..." Numbuh Infinity started to say, until Numbuh 74.239 interrupted.

"Hey! I wanna tell her the news!"

"But you got to do it last time!"

"But, uh, well-"

"Nice comeback." Numbuh Infinity said sarcastically.

"Will you just tell us what in the world is going on?!" Numbuh 1 shouted.

So they stopped fighting and Numbuh Infinity straightened his bowtie and said "Numbuh 362 is going to join the Galactic KND with Numbuh 1!" while holding up his hand to Numbuh 74.239's head as he was clawing his way to a fight with him.

Rachel just stared. She didn't know how to react. She was excited that she would join the Galactic KND. Sad that she would leave just about everything she knew. And confused and disbelieving. "I thought only ONE kid from every planet can join the GKND?"

"Yeah, I thought that's what you said too!" said Numbuh 1.

Then Numbuh 74.239 straightened himself out and said "Well, that's what we thought too. But after we sent you to orientation at the GKND Treehouse HQ, Numbuh Infinty and I were asked if there was only one gender on our planet. We obviously replied no, saying that there are males and females, and added that Numbuh 1 and ourselves are males. Then we were questioned of where the female Earth operative was. So we were confused and yelled at. It turns out, Numbuh INFINITY MISREAD THE INSRUCTIONS. There is actually supposed to be one kid of every gender from every planet joining the GKND. This is because of the different views between different genders. They represent a planet, so it's best to introduce all genders. Also, it is supposed to help aliens understand the race of every planet."

That speech was so long, Numbuh 74.239 took in a a big breath and continued "We thought you would be the best one, being the best spy in the KND, became a great Supreme Leader, and ate through broccoli to save us all. So we secretly administered a test for you. Which was the the dream you had where you were Super Indendent of U.S. Principals. But, since we didn't really have that much time, some aspects of that dream was very similar to Numbuh 1's. Once you passed, we decided to wait until after Sector Inspections to tell you the news. But after Sector V told you what happened to Numbuh 1, we decided to let you come see him before telling you the news, so we made his Galactic Sector take a mission close to Earth. And we put a post-it pad giving you the advice to go ride a ship around space. We knew you would cross paths with Numbuh 1. And so here we are!" then Numbuh 74.239 collapsed from exhaustion from saying so much.

"It was not my fault I got the instructions wrong. When it was sent to us, it was translated into Latin. We couldn't get any translators because only a limited amount of Earthlings can know. So, though I do know just about all the languages of the world, I am not very fluent in all of them." added Numbuh Infinity.

Then Numbuh 74.239, getting up, said "And we thought the best one to become the 1st girl from Earth to become an operative of the Galactic Kids Next Door would be..."

"Rachel?!" Nigel finished, excited.

"But what about my family?" Rachel said, thinking about what she would leave on Earth.

"I'm sorry, you must leave them now. And come with us immediatelly." said Numbuh Infinity.

"But when I left, you allowed-" then Numbuh 74.239 cut Numbuh 1 off, whispering to him "Shh! We don't have time now. We're planning to temporarily recomission her parents-Yes, they were KND operatives too.-and bring them up to HQ for a while to say good-bye to her. I don't know about her brother, though."

Numbuh Infinity continued "You must understand, being a Galactic operative is a great honor and responsibility we feel you and Numbuh 1 are able to handle, Numbuh 362. I believe you were already told of the horrible disease of Adulthood and adult tyranny in space?"

"Yes, Numbuh Infinity, I understand. I'll go."

But then, Numbuh 5 interrupted "Hold up! What about the KND on Earth? Who'll be Supreme Leader?"

Then, after thinking about it for a bit, Numbuh 362 replied, putting her hand on Numbuh 5's shoulder, "You know what, Numbuh 5? I think you'll be a good successor to me as Supreme Leader!"

"WHAT?! Oh, no, I may have taken the job leading Sector V, but this is too much for me!" Abby said quickly, backing away (Notice how she's speaking in 1st person?).

"Look, Numbuh 5, you've obviously shown great strength, wit, and heart as a leader. When Numbuh 1 left, I was surprised the success of you team didn't decline. According to your teammates' reports, it was because of your skills as a leader. The Kids Next Door need that in a Supreme Leader. Plus, you were the only one who saw throught the Mandy's disguise when she was trying to take over Sector V (I didn't see the "The Grim Adventures of the KND", I only read the summary, so I may have this wrong.)."

Numbuh 5 thought about it for a bit "Alright, Numbuh 5 'il take the job. But how're you gonna tell Moonbase without talking about the GKND?"

"I don't know, Numbuh 74.239, how ARE we gonna handle this?!" Rachel said, turning to Numbuh 74.239.

Numbuh Infinity and 74.239 started whispering to each other, at first appearing to be confused for a while, then reached an understanding and 74.239 replied "Isn't true that a Supreme Leader can reccomend his or her replacement, but is kept secret in the KND database until taken out of commission?"

"Oh yes! I never actually decided who my replacement would be. But no one ever knew that I remained undecisive. So, is there a way you can take care of that for me?"

"Of course! Since GKND status is above just a planet's KND, it can easily hack into a planet's KND database. We'll take care of it for you Numbuh 362."

"Wow, when I found you guys, I only expected a quick reunion, now, one of my friends turns out to be joining me and another is the new Supreme Leader. What a day!" Numbuh 1 said "Wait, speaking of friends, where's everyone else, Abby?"

Then Numbuh 5 smacked herself in the face and said "Oh dang! Numbuh 5 almost forgot! Yer tractor beam made the ship bump and they hit their heads and knocked themselves out! We should go and wake 'em up so they could talk to you."

"No!" said Numbuh 74.239, who mysteriously came in from another direction. "I checked your team, it's going to take a while for them to wake up. We're in a hurry. So there's no time, we'll beam you towards the direction of Earth. Then when your team wakes up, you're on your own. You can tell them what happened here, but no one else."

"So, Numbuh 5, I guess this is good-bye. I leave the KND in your hands." said Rachel.

"No pressure!" added Numbuh 1.

So they said their good-byes and Numbuh 5 boarded the SCAMPER and the tractor beam built into the "asteroid" sent it away.

Then, when the ship was out of sight, Nigel and Rachel faced each other. "So..." she began "...I guess we'll be spending a lot more time with each other then?" "Yeah...I guess so..." They both rubbed the back of their heads and smiled at each other.

Then they were interrupted by Numbuh Infinity cleared his throat. "You two will be spending a lot of time with each other later, but we need to get you to GKND HQ immediatly."

"Yeah! Before that scary one rips our heads off for being late! She still can''t understand that human heads ca't grow back..." Numbuh 74.239 said nervously.

Back at the SCAMPER...

Everyone began to wake up. "Hey! What the crud's going on around here?!" Numbuh 4 shouted as they noticed they were heading back to Moonbase.

"Well, I think it's a long story, and I'll tell y'all about it later. But for now, we gotta put yo' story telling skills to work."Numbuh 5 said, realizing she needed to make up a story about Numbuh 362.

"Hey, Numbuh 5, what's that?" Numbuh 2 asked, pointing to her chair.

She noticed the piece of paper taped to her chair, it was from Numbuh Infinity and 74.239. "A List of Potential Excuses About Numbuh 362's Disappearence...This makes things a lot easier."

"So, Numbuh 5, what did happen just now?" asked Numbuh 3.

"Well, let me start from the beginning, when we were cought by the tractor beam..." Numbuh 5 began.

Well, there it is! A little rushed, but I might fix this story every now and again to improve it a little.

Hmm, not as much romance between Numbuh 1 and 362 as I thought there would be. But then again, they're kids! But then again...Wait! I'll ruin the Epilogue for you guys!
