Disclaimer: I don't' own Codename: KND. I'm pretty sure an idea like this has probably been done… or something like that but does it matter right now? Didn't think so! And yeah I'd hate to say it but it won't be as humorous as it sounds but I'm not one to be too serious so stick around some humor will show up.
Operation 3: It's over… (Same day as last two chapters)
KND-
I guess you could say I've been really selfish for not telling you sooner, and I wouldn't change that. In my mind I guess everything was meant to be happy and telling you good-bye would shatter our happiness. I guess if I could change anything I wouldn't. I was glad to be part of a team who understood me or something like that. I just wish I could be braver like Nigel, smarter like Hoagie, more intimidating like Wally, and cooler like Abby. Just remember that even though we will one day grow up to be the adults we fought day after day I won't stop missing you guys! While we may not be KND Operative anymore I will forever remember you guys as Numbuh 1, Numbuh 2, Numbuh4, and Numbuh 5. Who knows… maybe one day we'll meet again and until then we'll always be friends-4-Evuh. ^_^.
-Kuki
"You've got to be kidding me!!!" Nigel said to no one as his voice echoed off the walls of his bedroom.
On his desk, in several picture frames were the pictures Kuki had left him before her big move. When she announced she'd be moving Nigel just knew that everything the group had struggled so hard to establish as a friendship would crumble. 'People grow up and grow apart' he'd tell himself whenever he'd begin to wish for the condolence the circle of friends had provided for him at the time.
If anything he could use that comfort now more than anything. His grades had been slipping in school to become very low and as of lately he had been skipping. Both he and Lizzie had been skipping school doing things that would devastate their parents if they found out… but of course they had found out. Apparently one of the many times they had started doing such things they rushed and he had forgotten the condom. Needless to say they had to say something since Lizzie had been 'running late', which baffled him because last he heard she was on the pill to begin with.
Their parent's were devastated just as they thought they would be. They were angry and upset, and then came the shock when Lizzie had broken the news that she might be pregnant… Thankfully Lizzie had called yesterday and said she was just late nothing more and her monthly friend had come on. Still the shock hadn't worn off and well Nigel's parents thought it would be best if he had a change in scenario.
"Oh this is ridiculous!" Nigel said finally picking up the phone.
"Hello?"
"Hello, Lizzie?"
"OH, Nigel I was just about to call you! There's a party tonight and I REALLY want to go."
"A party?"
"Yes, I think knowing I'm not Pregnant is something worth celebrating!"
"But Lizzie…"
Pick me up at seven…" Lizzie said before hanging up.
"Lizzie…" He groaned looking at the phone.
He sighed and looked out of his window. Across the street Wallabe Beatles was busy mowing the lawn. Nigel glanced at the clock on his wall and saw that it was Ten o'clock and the cool autumn breeze was starting to kick in a bit. He glanced back out of his window and shook his head as he watched Wally kick the pile of leaves that started to fall apart with the breeze.
"Cruddy leaves!" He heard the blonde mutter before giving up and looking at the pile meaningfully. Wally looked around and shrugged as he allowed himself to fall backwards on the pile. A smile cracked his face as a leaf landed on his nose. Nigel merely shook his head at the blonde as a wave of sympathy washed over him.
"That was something Kuki would do…" Nigel pointed out to no one. A pang hit him when he mentioned the girl.
Everyone in the group knew Wally had deep feelings for the Asian girl, behind his and her back Hoagie, Abby, and himself would lightly tread on the word love. Of course when they were a tight group they could never tell Wally that. They couldn't tell him that even after she left because he was in a slump of depression for sometime. Then he went into denial of caring more than anything other than a friendly love for her, and then he became violent… Of course that was after everyone just went their separate ways. Somehow the scatterbrained girl was the glue to hold the group together.
"That's preposterous." Nigel thought remembering how much trouble the girl caused. Sometimes everyone had twice the work to do because she was off in La-La land… but there were more times than one had she done more than what anyone would've done and if one of her ridiculous toys were destroyed she'd really have a fit. Nigel almost laughed remembering the time Numbuh four… Wally had managed to destroy a cat toy and she dressed him up like the cat. A chuckle escaped from his throat easing some of the pain he felt. "Military school… for what? I'm an ex KND operative! My skills are as good as ever, before they know it I'll be running the place."
"Nigel, are you awake?" The voice of Lizzie reached his ears stirring him out of a nap. When had he gone to sleep? He glanced at the clock that said it was now six thirty. He looked at her and saw her chewing on her lower lip.
"Yeah." He said. "Let's go outside… I need some fresh air." He said grabbing his red sweat shirt and a cap to keep his bald noggin warm. Once outside he sat on the swing that was attached to the tree in his front lawn and Lizzie settled herself in his lap.
"Are you okay? You've been out of it." Lizzie sighed before pushing her glasses back up on her nose.
"Things just haven't been going right with me." He said. He sighed deeply as Lizzie got up and began dancing to music playing her own head.
"Hello Nigel!" Marie Martinez grinned at Nigel but her smile quickly faltered when she noticed Lizzie there. "Hello Lizzie…" Marie said out of politeness. "I hope you guys enjoy the party…" Marie said before stopping Nigel. "I have to talk to you." She whispered and Nigel merely nodded knowing what about… Lizzie.
"Of course." He told the girl before looking around for Lizzie. He spotted her by the DJ… Inwardly he began to groan as he made his way over to her. "Come on Lizzie let's go dance."
"Wait, I wanna see if she has my favorite song!" Lizzie practically pouted the pout that got Nigel to do anything.
"Yeah I have it…" A familiar voice finally drew Nigel's attention to who the DJ was.
"Abby, I didn't know you were going to be here."
"I could say the same." She said making him wince. For some reason she had become rather 'snippy' with him. She then turned her attention to Lizzie. "Do you wanna request the song or not?"
"No, I was hoping for a copy since you're Nigel's friend and all."
"Sure, No problem." She said.
"Come on, Nigey!" She yanked the bald kid away from the girl. Nigel merely sighed and waved goodbye to the friend who didn't even catch it. After a few Dances Nigel thought it would best break the news to her.
"Lizzie I really think we should talk." Nigel tried to gain her attention but her attention as well as several other kids' attention was on the fight brewing in the living room. Almost immediately Lizzie grabbed his hand and went to see what the commotion was about. They had gotten separated when she squeezed her way through the crowd, which sufficed as reason for him to go find Marie.
"Excuse me ladies." Nigel interrupted the circle Marie had been standing with.
"Hello, Nigel!" The girls said simultaneously before walking away.
"Marie, whatever you have to say please don't let it be out of your affections for me." Nigel said suddenly making the girl look away. HE knew she had a thing for him and had let it be known for sometime now.
"Part of it is out of spite, but it's the truth." She said. "You see Lizzie had been suspecting you've wanted to break up with her, but knowing how honorable of a guy you are she figured a baby would keep you together; so she purposely began skipping out on her pills." Marie sucked on her lower lip watching Nigel process this information. Without warning he slipped his shades on his face to hide the anger that was racing through his system.
"Are you positive?"
"Yes, I was in a chat room last night and she was there fuming over how it didn't work." Marie paused. "There were a lot of girls telling her off for it. Especially this one girl from Japa-"
"Chat room??"
"Yeah Numbuh1sGrrl is her Screen name right?" Marie said softly. "I think I still have the conversation saved."
"No Need." Nigel said as something broke inside the house. Both Nigel and Marie sped off inside where a fight between Wallabe Beatles and Ryan Gillespie was going on. Apparently Ryan's flunkies had the snot kicked out of them to begin with and it just left the two boys.
"Stop!!!" Marie began to demand, but no avail. One guy tried to hold back Ryan and another grabbed Wally but they underestimated the shorter guy's strength and wound up hit himself. Nigel took off his shades forgetting about his anger and wanted to salvage as much as he could of Marie's stuff but apparently Hoagie beat him to the rescue and caught Wally in a half Nelson before saying something in the boy's ear instantly calming him down. Before long Sirens were heard outside of the house and Wally had told Hoagie to leave.
"Nigel, Let's go!" Lizzie grabbed his arm and dragged him away from the house and they passed by Abby's father on the way out. He merely sent a glance at the boy but did nothing more. One out of distance Lizzie started laughing and kept walking. "That was awesome!!" She squealed. "The most fun I've had in a while."
"Even more fun then your plot to wedlock me?" Nigel said suddenly.
"Huh?" She looked at him.
"Well…"
"What are you talking about?" She looked at the ground.
"Look at me Lizzie." He demanded. She slowly turned her gaze to his eyes and he let out a frustrated sigh. "I don't believe you'd try such a thing!!" He turned from her.
"But Nigel, You and I belong together. I only wanted to make you…"
"Lizzie, you have cooked up some really stupid schemes to keep you and me together… I used to think the worst was with that stupid Boyfriend helmet, but this takes the cake!"
"Nigel!"
"Lizzie, I was going to break up with you because you and I have been together for so long I can't see you as a girlfriend anymore! I know so much about you you're better off as a friend." He sighed. "Because of your stupid plot I'm going to Military school." He said making her look down. "Not to mention that you would've ruined both your life as well as my own!!"
"Nigel…" She was reaching out a hand to touch him.
"Don't touch me." He tore from her touch. "It's over Lizzie." He started to walk down the street. "I'm done completely…"
"Nigel…" She looked at him leave her in the middle of the block.
