Author: Silverflare07
Author's Notes: Ok this story is basically a bunch of flashbacks. And I'm sorry if they sound to old in the flashbacks, I'm not very good with little kid dialogue.
Extra info: In this fic 1 and 5 have known each other since they were little and Numbuh 1's father left his mom when Numbuh 1 was little.

Chapter 4: School Breaks and Birthdays
He turned to the screen and saw his living room. He and Abby were sitting next to their book bags in the middle of the floor. He became puzzled.
I don't remember this…(((((Q)))))
"Ugh! Cree was right schools no fun at all!" 7-year-old Abby crossed her arms over her chest.
Across from her Nigel nodded. "Yeah. We shoulda never gone."
She sighed. "I wish we could just break out and run away."
Nigel brightened up. "That's it!"
"Huh? What are you talking about?"
He smiled. "We'll both do what ever we have to until we can break out of school and we'll runaway and find someplace with no adults!"
She tilted her head to the side. "No adults..."
"Yeah. No matter how hard we gotta work at it, we'll find a place with no adults."
"Kinda like a utopia?"
He nodded. "Exactly."
She looked him in the eye. "Promise?" She held out her pinky.
Nigel smiled and hooked his pinky with hers. "Promise."
A smile slowly spread across her face. "Okay."
(((((Q)))))
"Breakin out of school eh?" Numbuh 4 said thoughtfully rubbing his chin. "That ain't a bad idea."
Numbuh 3 giggled. "I think we should all break out!" She began to bounce on the couch.
"I...I forgot all about dat promise." Numbuh 5 said.
Numbuh 1 nodded. "Me too."
But I don't know how I could...that promise was the whole reason I joined the Kids Next Door.
He was jolted out of his thoughts by his mother's voice. "Well it's been great getting to see you kids again but I have things I have to do. Do you guys wanna keep watching the video?"
Numbuhs 2, 3, and 4 nodded. Numbuh 5 seemed to think it over before nodding. They all looked at Numbuh 1.
"Oh alright."
"Well bye kids. Have fun!" And with that Ms Uno disappeared down the stairs.
All five children watched where she had left until voices floated up from the TV.
"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you! Happy birthday dear Abby! Happy birthday to you!"
(((((Q)))))
"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you! Happy birthday dear Abby! Happy birthday to you!"
Abby watched with excited eyes as her mom brought out a giant ice cream cake. To her 8-year-old mind this was the best birthday every.
"Time for presents!" One of her friends shouted.
As soon as the words had been spoken Abby found herself being showered by gifts of all sizes."Whoa...thanks guys!"
"Don't thank us yet." Another friend giggled. "Open 'em first."
Abby nodded and began to tear through the wrapping of the closet present.
15 minutes later she was up to her neck in gifts and discarded wrapping. Only one gift remained unopened. Nigel's gift. Slowly she unwrapped his gift. And a large pink hat fell into her lap.
She gasped. "Oh...it's the hat I've been wanten'. Thanks Nigel!"
She jumped up from among the mountain of wrapping paper and wrapped her arms around his neck,
"I love it!"
Seconds later both kids sprang apart as if they were burned, blushing widely.
"Uhh...you're welcome..." He scratched the back of his head nervously.
There was complete silence until:
"Cake!" Mrs. Lincoln's voice broke the silence.
All the kids broke into a run towards the table. All except Abby and Nigel.
"You...you want some cake?" She asked.
He nodded. "Come on." He took off towards the table.
She smiled and placed her hat on her head, it was a little big but that was okay...she would grow into it. "Coming!" She ran after him.
(((((Q)))))
"You...you..." Numbuh 4 seemed to be at a loss for words. "You guys are blushin'!" Wrong! He had plenty of words. He fell off the couch in his laughter.
Numbuh 2 wasn't much better. It wasn't long before he had joined Numbuh 4 on the floor. Numbuh 3 just sat there staring at the blank TV screen.
Numbuh 1 just kept his gaze on the floor, desperately trying to hide the blush staining his cheeks.
Numbuh 5 was absentmindedly fingering her hat and looking anywhere but her teammates.
"I always wondered where you got your favorite hat from." Numbuh 3 said smiling. "But don't worry. I got my favorite rainbow monkey from Numbuh 4 for my birthday."
This did nothing to console the girl but did turn said boy redder then Numbuh 1 and sent Numbuh 2 into another fit of hysterics.
Numbuh 1 just shook his head, glad they weren't laughing at him anymore. The TV flickered back to life and Numbuh 2 became quiet and sat back down on the couch. He saw Numbuh 4 mouth a silent thank you before sitting down as well. Numbuh 5 just looked at the screen with a strange look in her eyes. A quick glance told him why.
Of course...this was when Cree was still nice.
He looked at Numbuh 5 whose eyes were glazed over, like she was reliving the memory in her head.
I know she misses her sister. She says she doesn't but...I know her better then that.
She looked really bummed at seeing how she and her sister used to get along.
I wish she would smile again. I do anything to see her smile again.
He was too interested in watching between the TV and Numbuh 5 to even be shocked by his thought process. He looked to Numbuh 5 to make sure she was okay and she gave him a small smile. He smiled back before turning back to the TV.
Then again...maybe it wasn't all that shocking.

Well R&R! Please tell me what you think! Flames will be used to roast Lizzie.
In the Next Chapter:
Numbuh 1 looked out the giant window at Earth. "Come on team, let's go to our base."
Numbuhs 2, 3, and 4 headed toward the ship. Numbuh 1 followed but stopped and turned when he heard Numbuh 5 speak.
"You go it boss." Numbuh 5 smiled and winked before running to catch up with her other teammates.
