Title: Memories Away

Summary: Uncovering some old home videos also uncovers some feelings they never knew they had... 1/5 and even some 3/4

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.

Stuff you need know:

"Speech"

Thoughts are in italics

(((((Q))))) Means that what's between two of those is what they're watching on the TV aka it's the home movie.

Chapter 5: Let's Join the KND!

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.

(((((Q)))))

"Okay, so you guys wanna know about the tree house I go to?" Cree asked looking at her little sister and friend.

"YES!" Both children replied eagerly.

They were all sitting on Cree's bed. She had called them over saying she had something to tell them. And now she was finally going to tell them about the Tree house!

"Well I guess you guys are old enough to know, since your both 8 now. In a few weeks you'll be going to training too so you should now something about it."

"Training?" Abby looked confused. "Fo' what?"

Cree smiled. The Kids Next Door."

"The what?"

"The Kids Next Door. It's a secret organization of kids fighting against adults and their evil ways. You join when you're nine and go till your thirteen."

"But Cree..." Abby said, "You're 12..."

"That's right. I only have a year left so this one's going to be my best." She smirked. "You could say I'm going out with bang..."

Both kids just nodded, not understanding the meaning underlying her words.

"Now look, in just one short year you'll be part of this organization. You'll be put into units...and it's very possible you could be put into separate units. So you won't be able to see each other all the time but you still have to give 100%."

"Not be in the same unit as Abby?" Nigel asked. "How come? I wanna be in the same unit. It'll be more fun."

Cree shook her head. "It's not all about fun but I'll tell you what," Cree said looking at her sister and Nigel's crestfallen faces, "I have some say in who goes where. And, just because you're my little sister I'll see if I can have them put you two together."

"Yay!" Both children cheered and tackled Cree in a hug.

All three fell backwards and Cree found their laughter infectious. She couldn't help but join in. Finally she regained her composure and sat up again, Abby and Nigel sliding off of her and sitting back in their original places.

"Okay you guys, are you sure you wanna do this?"

Both children nodded eagerly. "Yeah! I hate adults!" Nigel said.

Beside him Abby nodded. "Me too."

She smiled. "Good. Training starts next week."

Both children nodded.

"Finally!" Abby said looking at her sister with a mixture of pride, awe, and happiness. "I get work beside me big sister!"

Sadness flickered in Cree's eyes for a second and her smile didn't reach her eyes. "Yeah...but you have to call me Numbuh 11 okay?"

"Why?"

"That's my codename. It's too dangerous to use our real names so we have to use codenames...well code numbuhs actually. You two and three other new recruits will be replacing Numbuhs 1-5. You're leader will be Numbuh 1 and the rest of the order is up to you guys."

"How do you know whose leader?" Nigel asked.

"A few more experienced and higher ranking operatives choose the best to be the leader. Then there's the second in command and the rest of the team."

"Wow! Being the leader would be awesome!" Nigel said his eyes wide.

Cree laughed. "I'll keep that in mind when I help the other's choose your team leader."

"Really?"

She nodded which earned her another hug.

"Thank you so much Cree!"

"No problem guys." She drew her sister into a hug. "You guys are going to be great members. I can tell. You'll give the adults a run for their money.

((((((Q)))))

Abby watched the TV tears running down her face. She swiped at them but they kept coming.

Stupid home movie, stupid Cree, stupid...

But her thoughts were stopped by more tears. She continued to try to stop the flow, but had little success. She felt a hand on her shoulder and turned to see her teammates crowded around her all looking worried.

"What's wrong Numbuh 5?" Numbuh 3 asked looking anxious.

"Nothin'." She wiped her eyes and found that the tears had stopped.

"I miss her too..." Numbuh 1 whispered looking down. "She was like my older sister and then..."

"She...she knew too. She knew that she was going to the dark side when she told us about the Kids Next Door. That's why she wanted us to join, so she would have a challenge. Something to overcome. That's why she taught me everything she new..." Numbuh 5 looked at the TV even though it had gone blank.

Numbuh 1's grip on her shoulder tightened slightly. "And we're more then willing to be that challenge. Right team?"

"Right!" Numbuhs 2, 3, and 4 responded. Numbuh 5 however remained silent.

"Numbuh 5...?"

She sighed. "Right." She whispered.

The TV came back to life and the kids found themselves looking at the auditorium at the moon base.

"Hey! This is when we all joined the Kids Next Door!" Numbuh 3 said brightly. She jumped back onto the couch. Numbuhs 2 and 4 sat down on either side of her and she rested her head on Numbuh 4's shoulder causing the Aussie to blush.

Numbuh 5 smiled at Numbuh 1. "I remember that." She laughed.

Numbuh 1 smiled, relieved to see that she was feeling better. "How could we ever forget?"

(((((Q)))))

Abby looked at all the people sitting in the auditorium. To her right sat her friend Nigel and to her left was a blonde boy she didn't know. She was nine years old and finally old enough to join the Kids Next Door. That's why she was at their moon base. To be accepted as a member. And she had never been more nervous.

"You okay Abigail?"

She made a face. "Call me Abby Nigel, that's what you always used to call me."

He laughed. "And the fact that you hate the name Abigail has nothing to do with it?"

She shook her head. "Nope not a thing."

He laughed again. "Well pretty soon I'll be calling you Numbuh 5."

Cree had told them the night before that Nigel was going to be Numbuh 1 and she was going to be Numbuh 5 and second in command.

"I can't believe I'm going to be the leaduh..."

She smiled. "You'll be a great leaduh."

"I hope so...but are you okay? You look pale and that's unusual for you."

She gave him a weak smile. "I'm just really nervous that's all."

He grabbed her hand and squeezed giving her a reassuring smile. "We'll do fine. We have each other after all."

"AND THE NEW NUMBUH 1...NIGEL UNO!" Numbuh 86 said from the stage.

He let go of her hand. "This is it."

She smiled. "Good luck Boss!"

He blushed. "I'm not the boss yet."

She shook her head laughing. "You got it."

He walked up to the stage.

"Do you promise to take you're duties as the leaduh seriously at all times?" Numbuh 86 asked.

He nodded.

Abby watched as the same process was repeated for three other kids (minus the leader part), Hoagie P. Gilligan Jr. became Numbuh 2, Kuki Sanban became Numbuh 3, and Wallabee Beatles became Numbuh 4...it was her turn.

"THE NEW NUMBUH 5...ABIGAIL LINCOLN."

Slowly she rose and walked to the stage and stood next to Numbuh 4.

"Do you promise to take you're duties as second in command seriously at all times?"

She nodded.

"Good! Then you are now officially part of the Kids Next Door." She smiled. "Welcome to the team!"

Numbuh 3 hugged Numbuh 4, who blushed. Numbuh 5 smiled at Numbuh 1. She walked up to him.

"We did it boss. We're part of the Kids Next Door!"

He nodded. "Yeah, we did."

"This is so awesome!" Numbuh 2 commented walking towards them, behind Numbuh 3 and Numbuh 4 followed.

"This is the coolest thing ever!" Numbuh 4 said punching his fist in the air.

"You're a fighter aren't ya?" Numbuh 1 and Numbuh 5 asked simultaneously.

Numbuh 4 raised an eyebrow. "Do you guys like share a brain?"

"No." Both kids answered.

"You guys do kinda seem like you're friends."

They shared a look and silent agreement passed between.

"Don't be ridiculous." Numbuh 1 said.

"Yeah I just met ya'll for the first time." Numbuh 5 shook her head.

The others shrugged. "Whateva."

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 got it boss." Numbuh 5 smiled and winked before running to catch up with her other teammates.

(((((Q))))

"HEY!" Numbuh 4 objected watching as the TV went blank. "I did so ask if you guys new each other before the Kids Next Door!"

Numbuh 1 shrugged. "We both thought it would be easier to just act like we didn't know each other. It made things less complicated."

Everyone nodded and waited for the tape to continue playing. But nothing happened. Numbuh 5 walked over and pulled it out.

"It's ova! It's finally ova!"

"Aw!" Numbuh 3 looked sad. "I wanna watch more home movies!"

"Well ya can't this tape is ova and Numbuh 1's mom took da others!"

Suddenly a smile spread across Numbuh 2's face. "I know! He turned and ran up to his room. He returned minutes later with a black tape. "I've been keeping surveillance on certain parts of the tree house and I accidentally got some stuff that really didn't have to do with the Kids Next Door."

He popped the tape into the VCR and sat on the couch propping his legs up on the coffee table. He motioned for Numbuh 3 and Numbuh 4 to do the same.

"Now just sit back and watch." His grin became mischievous. "Trust me, you'll like it."

Well that's chapter 5! Chapter 6 is the last chapter. (Well I'm 99.9% sure that it is).

I'm not sure how the KND gang got together...does anyone? Oh well so I tried my best to make something up. There's something I wanted to bring up that has to do with the joining the KND memory of this chapter:

I recently saw Operation: F.O.U.N.T.A.I.N. for the first time and...IT WAS SOOOOOOOOOO CUTE! But that's besides the point. I learned that the reason Numbuh 1 is bald is because he was captured by the Delightful Children and Numbuh 5 failed to rescue him and they made him bald. Numbuh 4 didn't know this and I think (if I remember correctly) Numbuhs 2 and 3 didn't know either. So I think there may have been a point when Numbuh 1 and Numbuh 5 were a two-person team (which would also explain why she's second in command).

With that said, as much as I wanted to remain faithful to the cartoon I already had this planned and pretty much written by the time I saw it so I hope that won't bug some people and if it does they can forgive me.

Well that's all. R&R please! I love hearing what you guys think! Flames still roast Lizzie.

In the Next Chapter:

"Do you mind if I sit up here with you. You know as just Abby and Nigel." He looked up at the stars. "We don't get to do that much since we joined the Kids Next Door."

She shrugged again. "We've been busy. Not to mention Lizzie would throw a fit. She has a problem with us just being teammates, let alone friends." She laughed.

Numbuh 1, however, didn't seem to find it amusing. "Numbuh 5...Lizzie shouldn't get in the way of our friendship."
