"Talking"

'Thoughts'


It was 8:30 in the morning when Nigel suddenly woke up to the sound of his father calling him from downstairs. Nigel just bolted up in his bed, his sun glasses were laying askew upon his face, and his shirt was all twisted around him. "hn?" was all that escaped his mouth because of the sudden rush of being awoken. He quickly jumped out of his bed, blacked out, and landed on the floor. "Stupid head rush" he mumbled and got up, and slowly walked out the door, and downstairs to the kitchen. "What is it dad?" he asked with a hint of sleepiness in his British accent. And his eyes falling half way back to sleep. Nigel looked so pitiful standing there with a painted on look.

"I wanted to ask you if you'd like to go to a party with me? You see my best friend Nathan Wigglestein has just adopted five new kids and is throwing a party for them (oh, I wonder who these kids could be? lol). I was hoping that you could come so that they can get at least one friend in town. I know you were going to show Willy around today, but I'm sure he can find some other means of looking around town." William said while sitting there at the kitchen table with his fingers crossed looking at Nigel with interest. "So, are you interested in going with me?"

Nigel just sat there at the table in silence, pondering what his father just told him. "I guess I can go with you." Nigel answered his father. 'After all, all of this meeting new kids, and talking to them will help with my social skills. And who knows if this will come in handy with joining the Kids Next Door.' "When will we go? And how will I tell Wally I can't take him out today? They don't have a phone yet." he said with a puzzled look.

"We'll leave about noon. The party starts at 1:00pm but they live pretty far. I think you'll like their house Nidge." Nigel cringed at the sound of his nickname his father gave him. While his father continued to answer his question, "And we can drive by the Beatles house on the way there and you can tell Wally then."

"Ok dad. Can I go back to sleep for a little while now? I'll wake up about 10, ok?" He asked with a yawn and looked at his dad waiting for an answer. All William did was nod a yes, and that's all it took for Nigel to run to the stairs, crawl into bed, and fall asleep instantly. He was asleep for 30 seconds when he suddenly jumped up and said, "What did I just agree to with my dad? Oh well, no harm in meeting new people." He said and shrugged it off and fell back in bed completely knocked out.

At around 10 o'clock Nigel groggily woke up to his cat Sparks licking his nose like crazy and purring. 'Why does that cat always know when to wake me up?' he said to himself while pushing his cat off him. "oh well, might as well eat breakfast huh Sparks." Nigel walked downstairs to the kitchen and walked to his cupboard to find something to eat. He picked Lucky Charms and thought, 'For some reason I feel like I need to have something lucky. This party thing has a weird vibe on me like it's warning me to not go. But I already promised my dad. I'll just keep my eyes peeled."

After he ate, Nigel took a shower and got dressed. He was sitting down in the living room watching tv when his dad said, "ok let's go. It's almost 1:00. They both got into the car and drove silently to Wally's house to explain that he couldn't show him around. They got to Wally's house and Nigel walked up to the front door and knocked. Waldo answered the door and said, "He Nigel. I wanted to tell you that I'm sorry, but Wally meet a kid next door. And the neighbor wanted to show him around. SO he went with him. I'm sorry if it ruined your plans."

"Um, actually, we were coming here to tell Wally that I'd have to cancel showing him around, because my dad got invited to a party and invited me also." Nigel said with a slight relieved voice.

one hour later

Nigel and his father were pulling up to a house that was HUGE. Nigel has never seen a house that big before. Wait, it wasn't a house, it was a mansion. It was white and blue. When they finally got to the front of the house, who knew where to park. When they got out of the car, a valet came up and parked the car for them. "Wow dad, what does your friend do for a living? He's rich." Nigel said with his eyes rising in awe.

"I don't really know for sure. He's kind of secretive when it comes to his job. Even in high school he was secretive. He had a little sister who was 12 and he would always complain about her and her friends. It was like he hated kids. This news surprised me, that he actually adopted five kids." William explained while eyeing the house just as much as Nigel was.

This guy who hid in the shadows called William to him and they hugged like they've never seen each other for years. "William, is that really you. Wow look at you, you sure have changed."

"Yes, I mean look at you. You've changed so much. How have things been?"

"Things have been going good. Here let me introduce my children to you" he looked at Nigel and pointed, "and your son." He waved to a door and said, "You can come out now children." And five very different looking kids emerged. Their eyes were the only thing that were intense. They all had blue eyes. "Their names are Lenny" he pointed to the guy with a football helmet. "Danny" the tall boy. "Zack" the blonde boy. "Jenny" he pointed to a girl with pigtails. "and Chrissy" He pointed to the girl with long hair.

"Hello Nigel." They all said at once, in what seemed like a monotone voice. "We're glad to meet you. Let's go somewhere to talk."

"Um, ok. You guys lead the way." Nigel said nervously. And they started to walk around. "So what's it like to live in a house this big?"

"It's ok. We've finally memorized just this morning where everything is, and we've been here for one week already." Said Zack.

"We wanted to ask you something Nigel. We heard that there is going to be a club for kids only. When and where can we sign up to try out for it?" Danny, and Lenny asked.

This caught Nigel by surprise. He wasn't expecting for these new kids to know about the Kid's Next Door. "Um, well we meet next week in the woods by the tallest tree there. That tree has a house in it. But we meet under the tree."

"Thank you for your cooperation in this Nigel Uno." You can now go keep yourself busy." They all said then suddenly disappeared. "Um, ok. Now that was weird. I have a feeling I shouldn't forgot how weird this conversation was weird." And he walked off trying to find his dad.


A/N: Ok that was the third chapter. I'm sorry this chapter didn't have anything to do with Wally really, but this is going to be a start of some of the plot of my story. The next chapter will be all about Wally again, I promise.
