Hi! It's only June 15, but I wanted to type my new story a week in advanced. I'm moving this week, so I wanted to type this now. Also, I have another story that I wrote in April called: Ed, Edd n' Eddy meets Codename: Kids Next Door, but I thought it was too stupid to put online. If anyone does want me to put it online, tell me and I might. By the way, it's a VERY ¾ based story! I also have a few ideas for some other KND fics, but I won't put them out until this one is done, which may take a while because it's now (I haven't finished it yet) 7 chapters with more to come. So, it'll probably be done by the beginning or end of August. By the way, I'm gonna be nice this time and double space! Enjoy! ~*numbuh4lpluva*~

P.S:WARNING:PAIRINGS ARE AS FOLLOWS:3/4, 1/5 , 2/?, Lizzie/?(the ?s' are for me to know and you all to find out!:P)

~*Live at the Elimination Round*~

~*Chapter 1*~

            It was a dark and scary March day. March 30, 2006, to be exact. Numbuh 4s' dreaded 13th birthday. He was the first one in the Kids Next Door to become a teenager. The Kids Next Door rules state that once a member turns 13, they are out of the knd forever and (I made this part up) some 7 year old kid will take his/her place. He dreaded this day since he was 10, and learned about this horrible rule. He didn't want to give up his wonderful life as a Kid Next Door. He was having a wonderful dream about being 10 again when his alarm clock woke him up.

            "Cruddy alarm clock," Numbuh 4 said as he shut the annoying beeping off. He slowly got out of his room. He looked different now. He had acne all over his face and he was taller. He also wore a football jersey instead of his orange hoodie. When he got out of his room and to Numbuh 1s' meeting hall, he saw all his friends sitting around, looking very sad. Numbuh 3 even started to cry. (Wonder why?) Numbuh 2 and 5 were trying to comfort her and then they both started to cry. All of them were still 12, so Numbuh 4 was the first to leave. Numbuh 1 went up to his podium with a long speech prepared.

            "Numbuh 4, happy (well I guess it won't be) birthday. (Today (June 23, 2003) is my 14thJ) I've prepared a speech as well as the others about what a great addition you were to this team and we'll each give you a goodbye/birthday present,"Numbuh 1 explained, "Now I will begin my speech.(clears throat) Wallabee Beetles, aka: the tough kid, has been a great addition to our kid spy team. He helped us build great machines and computers, helped us beat the evil grown-ups and the delightful children from down the lane, and helped us become better people.(Numbuh 3 cries louder) Without Wallabee Beetles, the Kids Next Door wouldn't be where they are today. Thank you. Numbuh 2, it's your turn."

            Numbuh 3 started to cry even louder as Numbuh 2 went up to the podium with a bunch of messy papers and began to say his speech. "Numbuh 4 has been my best friend for so many years that I've lost count. He has helped the Kids Next Door be what they are today. I will miss him,"Numbuh 2 said as a tear trickled down his chubby cheek, "OK, you're up Numbuh 3."

            Between sobs, Numbuh 3 tried to say her speech. Unfortunately, she kinda messed it up under stress. "Numbuh 4," Numbuh 3 got out as she tried to hold back tears and think of the next line. All she said is, "Damn it, I'll miss you so much." She soon broke down crying. "Numbuh 5," Numbuh 3 spitted out as she ran back to sit down.

            Numbuh 5 walked up coolly to the podium, hiding her tears with her hat. "Numbuh 4 has been a great person to all of us. Numbuh 5 knows she's gonna miss him a lot. Numbuh 5 also wants Numbuh 4 to know that he's a great person. Numbuh 5 hopes that she'll see you in the future. Stay gold, Ponyboy, I mean, Numbuh 4, stay gold. Numbuh 5 was reading The Outsiders last night. Anyway, Numbuh 5 will miss you," Numbuh 5 said. Numbuh 3 continued crying.

            "Thank you for all those touching (and weird) speeches," Numbuh 4 said, "I'm gonna miss you guys a lot, too, but I'm sure we'll see each other at school. Just remember, my spirit will linger on in the tree house forever." Numbuh 3 cried even louder. (I'm sick of typing that) "Now it's time to present Wallabee (I'm going to call him that from now on) with his birthday/going away presents,"Numbuh 1 said. Everyone came up to Wallabee with their presents for him. "Numbuh 5 is giving you some acne medicine. You need it as much as Numbuh 5 needs her braces,"Numbuh 5 said as she handed Wallabee a tube of acne medicine. "Thanks, I think," Wallabee said. "I got you another copy of Meteora (Linkin Parks' 3rd CD, if you didn't already know) because I heard you cursing over stepping on it last week," Numbuh 3 said through her tears. "Thanks. That was really thoughtful," Wallabee said. He gently kissed Numbuh 3 on the cheek. She blushed and stopped crying (finally), but the occasional tears still came. "I got you the Sims. You can kill the delightful children over and over again. It's a lot of fun!" Numbuh 2 said. "Thanks! I can't wait to use it," Wallabee said. "And I got you this," Numbuh 1 said as he handed Wallabee an envelope. Wallabee opened it and found $50.00 inside. "Sweet! 50 bucks! Thanks!" Wallabee said. "Honorary Kids Next Door member, Wallabee Douglas Beetles is now 13 years old on this 30th day of March, 2006. He will be taken out of the Kids Next Door because he is no longer a kid. Well, I guess that's all! Here is your KND metal. Thank you for all your help with adult fighting in the last 6 years! Bye!"Numbuh 1 said. "Bye!" Numbuh 4 said. A tear trickled down his face. "I'll always remember you all!" He waved goodbye as he walked backwards. "Bye!" everyone else said as they lost the first member of the kids next door, but not the last!
