Adults Next Door?
Author's note: It's about time I worked on something other than Video Game Arena. I promise this chapter will be longer than the first. Here we go!
Chapter 2: The gang's all here!
"Say again?" Abby asked with disbelief. The announcer repeated, "Kuki Sanban, our new weather-person, is supposed to announce the weather shortly. Will you hurry, or will I have to cancel the weather report?"
"Both, I'm afraid," Nigel replied, and he got into Abby's van. The van drove off, leaving the camera crew in silence. "I hate filming live," someone said.
In the TV studio's weather office, Kuki was checking a map of the changing weather climates. She was a lot more serious than in her younger days (but then again, she'd have to be!).
A knock on the door alerted Kuki. She walked over and opened the door to find her childhood friends, Nigel Uno and Abagail Lincoln, standing there. Abby held up the picture, and there was a long silence.
Kuki broke the silence. "Nigel and Abby?" Nigel nodded. "Oh, I've missed you two so much! If only Hoagie and Wally were here, then the reunion would be complete."
"You know, come to think of it," Nigel said, getting out a book of schematics, "I once made the design for the town's boxing championship building."
Nigel flipped through the book. "Making small talk with the requester while sketching, I learned that one of the boxers' names was Wallabee Beatles."
"TO THE VAN!" Abby shouted, and all three of them dashed out of the building. It was about fifteen minutes before they reached the championship building.
Rushing into the dressing rooms, Nigel checked the names on the doors. "Bruce Nimble, Stan Umbrea, Wallabee Beatles, Ivan Greenv- Wait, guys. Go back one."
The doorknob turned, and the door swung open, smacking Wally in the face. "Uh, sorry," Abby said as soon as she realized what she had just done.
"That's okay, Abby," Wally said. "I go through a lot worse during the boxing ma- ABBY?!?" Smiling, Abby nodded. "It's us, from 15 years ago."
"Great!" Wally said. "Nigel, Kuki, Abby... all that's missing is Hoagie P. Gilligan Jr.! Wonder where he is?" The reunited team quickly found out.
It just so happened that Wally's manager had stepped in to check up on him. "I think I can answer that," he said. "You're looking for someone named Hoagie, right?"
"Well, it just so happens that I've been keeping up with every detail of the USAF, and a few months ago they hired someone named Hoagie P. Gilligan Jr."
This was all the team needed to know. They dashed back to Abby's van and headed toward the USAF base. "What kind of stupid map is this?" Kuki commented as she read the map.
A pretty darn good one, since Abby's van pulled up at the Air Force base within less than half an hour. Nigel used his binoculars to take a look up in the sky.
There was Hoagie, piloting a test plane. Nigel got out of the van and grabbed two hangers with shirts hanging on them. (You'd expect something like that, it is the delivery van for a clothing store.)
"It's a good thing I learned semaphore," Nigel said as he waved the hangers like flags. Hoagie found it a little odd that someone was semaphoring with shirts, but oh well.
Hoagie took a good look at the "flags." "L... A... N... D... pause... O... N... pause... T... H... E... pause... R... O... A... D. Land on the road!" And Hoagie did.
"So," said Kuki after the landing, "now that we're reunited, what do we do now?" "Gee," Abby said, "I guess I never really thought about that."
"Being back together has really revived the KND's adult-fighting enthusiasm," said Wally, "but to act on that would be hypocritical, seeing as how we're adults ourselves."
"I think this is our answer," Hoagie said, pulling out a TV guide from Abby's van (what was that doing in there?). He flipped through the guide and pointed to one listing.
"The latest and funniest sitcom to hit TV," Nigel read, adjusting his sunglasses. "A Day in the Big City, starring the Delightful Teens from Down the Lane."
That's all this time. Keep reviewing!
