The next morning was cool and rainy. It was a wet fall day. Nigel woke up with the light sound of pitter patter dropping on his window. He got dressed and walked downstairs to the kitchen, to find Emily, Abby, Hoagie, and Kuki and Wallabee's kids eating breakfast. The twins were happily munching on cheerios.
"Morning" he said, and poured himself a cup of coffee.
"Good morning" said everyone else.
"Mmph" said the kids, their mouths full of cereal.
"Where are Kuki and Wallabee?" asked Nigel.
"Sleepin'" answered Abby. "They late sleepers...Abby here is an early riser!"
Nigel smiled. "Just like when you were a kid!"
Kuki then came downstairs with her hair tied back and wearing a robe. "Good morning!" she said brightly, like her old and spiffy self.
"What are you all planning to do today?" asked Emily.
"Well" said Numbah 2. "My plane is having some technical diffculties and I wanted to fix it and test it out...hope you guys don't mind"
"No problem" said Kuki.
"Thanks" said Hoagie, adding more cheerios to his unemptied milk bowl.
"You know what? Abby was just thinkin' about them Delightful Children" said Abby.
"Me too. I wondered what happened to them?" wondered Hoagie.
"Don't you guys remember? They moved with their father...I guess we annoyed the crap out of them!" Nigel chuckled.
"Well" said Hoagie, placing his cereal bowl in the sink and fastening his hat. "I better be off"
"Bye Hoag" said Kuki. "Be careful!"
"Will do" he said and left.
"Mommy I wanna color!" demanded Ryan.
"Yeah...me too!" agreed Jessie.
"Okay you too" said Kuki. "First let's get you both cleaned up...Ryan you have milk dribbling down your chin and Jessie, you got some on your shirt" she took them upstairs.
"I think I'll go back to bed" said Emily, yawning and headed upstairs to her room, leaving Abby and Nigel alone.
"So what do you want to do?" asked Abby.
"I thought about going for a walk, if you want to that is" answered Nigel, going a tad red.
"Sure thing"
They got dressed and headed outside.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Well, it sure has been awhile" said Abby, as they trotted along.
"Sure has" agreed Nigel.
"Abby remembers all the fun times we had together" she said.
Nigel laughed. "Remember when Numbah 4 got hit by that piano?"
"Oh yeah...and every year when we snatched the DC's cake away on their birthday?"
"And the time Numbah 3 got attacked by the dentist?"
"And rememebr how we always used to chase that ice cream truck for miles and miles, just to get a scoop of rocky road?"
Nigel chuckled. "Those were the good times!"
"Hey Num- I mean, Nigel...why did you leave the KND?" asked Abby. "If you don't mind Abby askin' that is"
Nigel paused. "That Lizzie persuaded me. She was always so rude and ignorant...I still to this day don't know why I left her for all of you"
"Abby doesn't either...if you don't mind her sayin' this...you was pretty much of a jerk when that happened."
Nigel shook his head in shame. "I know I was...I never relized how much I hurt all of you...and...and..."
Abby smiled and patted his back. "Apology accepted!"
"Thanks" said Nigel, smiling.
That's when Abby's cell phone started ringing. She grabbed it and turned it off.
"Shoukdn't you answer that?" asked Nigel.
"Nah...probably just business or somethin'" she answered.
"Well ok...hey Abby, rem-" Nigel began but instantly, the phone began to ring again. "Hey, maybe you should answer it, it might be important.
"Well...okay...but if it's one of them sales calls, Abby is smashing it with a mallet!" she picked up the phone. "'Lo'...Emily? What's wrong? WHAT? Oh my god...okay...we'll be right there..." she hung up, looking dazed.
"What?" asked Nigel, feeling something wasn't quite right.
"It's Hoagie..."
