Chapter 2: I Forgot You Don't Remember

Hoagie could not figure out for the life of him what had his friends in such a trance. Yeah the girl was kind of pretty, beautiful actually, but it wasn't like they knew her or anything. Then she started singing.

"Time on my hands since you've been away boy
I ain't got no plans
no, no, no, no.
And the sound of the rain, on my windowpane.
Is slowly, slowly driving me insane."
Hoagie would know that voice from anywhere. He had grown up with it for almost 13 years. They all had. It was Numbuh 5. He leaned over to Wally.
"Is that really..." Wally nodded. He looked to be in pain.
"What's wrong?"
"I can't feel my hand."
Hoagie looked down to where Kuki had such a firm grip on Wally's hand that it was turning red.
"Numbuh 3 misses Numbuh 5 huh?"
All Wally could do was nod wearing a pained expression.
"How's Numbuh 1 holding up?"
Kuki answered for him. "Not so good. Lizzie doesn't look happy about it either."
Hoagie looked over to where Nigel was staring at Abby with an expression he couldn't quite read. Lizzie however wasn't doing such a good job hiding her emotions. She was red in the face and the look she was throwing the girl could have killed her if looks could kill.
Hoagie had never been more thankful that they couldn't. Nigel would have been dead too.
"Boy, I'm going down
I'm going down'
Cause you aint around, baby.
My whole world's upside down"
Lizzie was seething. What in the world did that little witch think she was doing here! She shouldn't even remember the Kids Next Door! Who ever had invited her was going to pay!
I cannot believe they invited her. And to sing no less! I bet she has no idea who any of these people even are!
Lizzie wasn't stupid. Unlike Abigail she remembered the past and she knew Nigel knew it too. That was what made her mad.
I wish that hadn't passed that stupid decommissioning rule! Then this wouldn't be a problem.
But they had and it all been Numbuh 86's fault. Who cares if it brought more talented operatives to the Teen side? As long as her Niggie didn't remember that awful girl she really could have cared less.
"Sleep don't come easy.
Boy, please believe me.
Since you've been gone, everything's going wrong.
Why'd you have to say goodbye?
Look what you've done to me
I can't stop these tears from falling from my eyes."
Nigel couldn't believe his eyes. After 10 years she was standing before him. But why? She couldn't possible remember the KND...could she.
A small flicker of hope made itself present in his stomach. If she remembered...Just thinking about it brought life back into the boy that he was sure he had lost a long time ago.
"Please forgive me, baby, and come on home.
Going down.
Going down.
Going down."
Abby finished her song and bowed as the applause from the audience filled the building.
Nigel, Hoagie, Kuki, and Wally clapped loudest of all and Wally even stuck his fingers in his mouth and let a shrill whistle loose.
Abby blushed and called out thank you before walking back stage.
Nigel turned to his friends. "Let's go and see her." He looked wistfully at the stage where she had been moments ago.
She has to remember. She must! She wouldn't be here if she didn't!
"Let's go see Numbuh 5!" Kuki was sounding like her old self again.
They walked back stage where they found her brushing her hair and humming the song she had just song.
"Numbuh 5!" Kuki threw her arms around the startled girl and both fell to the ground.
Abby detached herself from the girl and gave them all a confused look.
"Who's Numbuh 5? And who are you?"
Nigel felt his world crash down around him. Beside him Lizzie gave a wicked grin.
"Wha...what?" Kuki sounded like she was about to cry.
Wally walked up and wrapped an arm around his wife and she buried her head in his shoulder.
"You don't remember us?" Hoagie sounded hurt too.
"No. I ain't never met ya. I ain't met none of the folks out there. My niece asked me to sing tonight."
Wally raised an eyebrow. "Cree has a kid in the KND?"
Abby looked bewildered. "How do you know my sista?"
"We were, ah, old acquaintances." Beside him Kuki snickered.
Abby raised an eyebrow. "Whateva you say."
Nigel cleared his throat. "Well then...sorry to bother you."
"Bye." Wally and Kuki walked off hand in hand.
"See ya." Hoagie led Brittany back to the party.
"Bye." Lizzie gave her one last glare before leaving.
Nigel couldn't even say anything so he simply turned around to leave.
"You okay?" He looked back at Abby who was giving him a concerned look.
"Yeah...I just lost someone real important to me. I...I should go join my...fiancé." He forced the last sentence out.
He turned and walked out of the room and didn't see the hurt look he was receiving from Abby.
I lost someone important to me too Numbuh 1...
((((()))))
The rest of the party went by in a flash for Nigel. He talked to people he was sure he didn't know like he'd known them forever. He was even nice to Numbuh 86 (an: What's her name?). He just didn't care. He wanted to get back to the hotel as fast as he could and sleep for the rest of his life.
Lizzie however had other plans.
"Let's go out for a drink Niggie!" She tugged at his arm.
"Not tonight Lizzie. I'm tired."
She pouted. "Fine. But tomorrow night you owe me."
He nodded. "Whatever."
He pulled out the key to his room, Room number 1. He held the door open for Lizzie and was about to step in when mumbling from behind him caught his attention. He turned to see Abby struggling with the lock of the room across from his.
"Do you need some help?" She turned to face him.
"Yeah." She looked sheepish.
"You're putting the wrong side in the lock."
She looked down and saw that he was right.
"Wouldja look at that. Thanks." She stared at him for a few seconds. "You're one of dem psycho's from earlier."
He blushed. "Yeah. Sorry about that. We thought you were someone else."
"That Numbuh 5 right?"
He nodded.
"Oh sorry I'm not her. Hope you find her though."
He nodded again. "I doubt it though. I'm pretty sure she doesn't even remember me. Well goodnight."
And with that he walked inside his room and closed the door behind him.
If only you knew Numbuh 1...if only you knew.

Well there's chapter 2. I hope you guys liked it.
In the next Chapter:
"Who was that girl in there?" Brittany asked.
"Numbuh 5..." Kuki whispered.
"Who?"
"Her name was Abby Lincoln." Wally answered. "She was the fifth member of our team."
"Why doesn't see remember you guys?"
"She was decommissioned." Hoagie answered.
"Yeah but so were you guys."
"It's a complicated story."
"Well then," Brittany smiled, "I guess we'd better get some drinks. My treat!"
But don't worry this story's rated PG. R&R! Flames are still going to be used to roast Lizzie, the little witch.
