Disclaimer: I do not own KND as this is on a fan site and it isn't on TV. I only own Janey Quinn Adams. I also own some of the inventions in here (Namely: S.K.Y.B.O.A.T.) I do not own anything besides what I just said owned.
FOR THOSE WHO DON'T KNOW:
Numbuh 1 = Nigel Uno
Numbuh 2 = Hoagie P. Gilligan Jr.
Numbuh 3 = Kuki Sanban
Numbuh 4 = Wallabee "Wally" Beatles
Numbuh 5 = Abigail "Abby" Lincoln Numbuh 6 = Janey Quinn AdamsNigel Uno, team leader of operatives 1-5 of the Kids next door, paced the floor of the KND headquarters treehouse. "Would you stop doin' that!" Numbuh 5 exclaimed, now fed up with 1's consistent walking, "you're gunna wear a hole in the flo' if ya don't stop!"
He sighed, she was right. There was no use being nervous. A new member was a new member, and he would have to get used to it. He sat down on a sofa between 3 and 4, and crossed his arms. Numbuh 6 was a newly trained member of the KND and was scheduled to arrive at 3:00 that afternoon.
Currently, it was 2:55 and the suspense was killing him! He had heard that most newly trained KND operatives were brought by #86 in person. She was never late, nor early with these new recruits, always on the dot when it came to delivery time.
"Boy or-"Wallabee started.
"Girl." Nigel said, cutting off the end of his sentence.
"Numbuh?" Kuki asked
"Six." was his only reply. With that, the team sat in silence for two or three minutes. Then, the sound of a Kids Next door S.K.Y.B.O.A.T. (Super Kool Yellow Barge Obtains Air Tactfully) being piloted downward toward the 'garage' for flying contraptions of the KND.
They all ran into the hangar in time to see a ladder thrown down the side, allowing 86 to climb down. A vivid green duffel bag was thrown down. She caught it and set it gently out of the way as a girl with a brown ponytail swung herself over the railing and landed not so gracefully on the floor.
Her eyes were fully visible, and looked much like Kuki's. The dark purple T-shirt and bright blue jeans with the red hoodie tied around the waist drew little attention. Her sneakers were florescent purple, her skin was fair, and the naïve smile was ever prominent.
Never the less, she sprang back up to salute 86, "Numbuh 6 reporting for duty, ma'am!"
"Good, good." the redhead mumbled. "NOW," she exclaimed, back to her usual fury, "I want ya all teh be nice teh Numbuh 6!" (Yes, she does have a Scottish accent)
The team nodded and the girl with the ponytail watched in awe as she commanded the kids around like puppets. Then, to her surprise, she found herself being steered to each one as if to test her memory, or maybe just to meet them personally.
She approached the tallest girl first. "High five, Numbuh 5!" she said, slapping the other girl's raised palm.
"'sall cool here, girl." 5 replied, smiling warmly.
The blonde boy in orange she moved to next. She pondered this for a second, but then her eyes narrowed. She brought her eyes level with his, and hissed, "I challenge you to a video game fight, Numbuh 4"
His eyed narrowed behind the hair, "You're on..." he growled back in an equally menacing tone.
The girl in green was the next victim "Numbuh 3!" and pulled out a mini Rainbow Monkey on a keychain, "I thought ya might like this!"
"THE MINTY GREEN ICING RAINBOW MONKEY KEYCHAIN!" She squealed delightedly, "THANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOU!" She clung to Janey's arm so tightly, that #86 had to order her to let go.
She moved to her left to the boy in the yellow goggles, "2..." she read off his cap, "Numbuh 2, but not second best, I assume?"
"Right-o!" he said, shaking her hand diligently.
She hadn't noticed that every time she moved closer to Nigel, he blushed even deeper. In fact, she hadn't really noticed him at all. Finally, she turned to the last one. She immediately registered the fact that he had no hair.
"Hi-" he began to say, but she started going off.
"ADULT!" She screeched, "ADUUUULLLLLLTTT!" she grabbed the hand he had offered diplomatically for a handshake and catapulted him across the room.
"NUMBUH SIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIX!" everyone else yelled.
"tHaT iS nUmBuH oNe!" 86 said through tightly clenched teeth.
"The academy's training must be a little too drilled in there..." 5 muttered to 4. They both started sniggering as #3 gave them a quizzical look.
"Sorry!" she apologized, dashing over. "Let me help you up." She said.
#1, who was lying in a crumpled heap, pulled himself up with her help. He wasn't blushing too bad now, but when she pulled his arm over her shoulder and helped him into the kitchen, he began blazing hotter than the sun.
"Ok!" she said, once they had all settled on their usual stools, and she had pulled out a pen and paper from the blue, drawstring backpack she had been wearing, "What do you want for dinner? I hope making you all your favorite dishes will make up for the mistake I made earlier..." she said, grinning sheepishly and tilting her head.
"Ravioli!" Kuki chirped "And lots of it!"
"Pizza" Wally grunted
"Chilidogs!" exclaimed Hoagie
"A peanut butter sandwich is fine." Abby said
"Umm... a hamburger?" Nigel mumbled when 6 turned to him.
"OK!"
30 Minutes Later
The smells of quality cooking were wafting from the kitchen as the other operatives watched 3 continually beat 4 at Alleyfighters X. (yeah, I just made that game up too.)
"Yay! I win again!" she giggled. Wally was showing no signs of anger, disbelief, or any feeling for that matter.
The door to the kitchen slammed open. Numbuh six was teetering under the weight of the 5 dinners they had asked for plus 6 sodas, utensils, and her own meal of white rice and eggrolls.
The kids watched, dumbfounded as she set up each place on a fancy tablecloth. She took care and folded each napkin into triangles, placing each with care next to the plate. Chopsticks next to the Chinese food, and a fork next to the Italian, she had it all beautifully cooked, and spectacularly arranged. Numbuh one was the first to speak.
"N-n-numbuh s-s-six? You didn't have to do that much!" he gestured to the ensemble in the center of the room.
"Aww, but I like to!" she said, now blushing a little herself, "Now sit down! I went to all this trouble to make it, I want it eaten."
They sat and began to eat slowly. Then, as if an ice cube was melting, they began to eat quicker. Their eyes lit up as their stomachs were filled with their favorite dishes.
"This is real good! What did ya do to make this sandwich better?" Numbuh 5 questioned.
"Peanut butter with a little real butter." She said, beaming as the rest started complimenting too.
"The ravioli is yummy! Thanks Numbuh 6!"
"Chilidogs with an extra kick! Awesome job!"
"This is the most phenomenal hamburger I've ever tasted!"
"Thank you very much! I-"she began, but noticed Numbuh 4 with his first slice of pizza still up to his mouth, and the most peculiar look on his face, "What's wrong? Is it not good? Is there not enough sauce? Cheese?"
4 said nothing, but turned slowly to her; "You never said your real name, What is it?"
"Oh! Well, it's Janey, but-"
"Janey?" he said, smirking
"Yeah." Numbuh 3 said defensively, "You got a problem with my friend's name?" she said provokingly. Everyone was watching now as 4 turned redder and redder under the pressure.
"Umm...no." he mumbled. They all returned to eating, paying no attention to much more than the food. Janey, however, was watching the people as she nibbled an eggroll. Kuki looked up at the same time as Wally. As they were sitting across from each other, they stared at each other, as if transfixed. Then, as if they realized what they were doing, they quickly looked back down. Janey smiled slyly to herself and started on her rice.
After dinner, everyone had spread out to do what he or she liked to do. Numbuh 5 was reading while Numbuh 2 (who was sitting next to her on the couch) nailed aliens in the video game he was playing. Numbuh 4 had gone off to his room, and Numbuhs 3 & 6 were pulling on scarves, (Janey put on her hoodie too) and preparing to leave.
"Where y'all goin'?" Numbuh 5 asked, looking up from her book as they went to open the door into the chilly night.
"We're getting magazines, silly!" Kuki giggled
"Well count me in," she said. The 2 boys and Abby gave them more money and a list of what they wanted. "And make sure you git what we want." She said, while they prepared to leave yet again.
"Hold it roit there!" and Australian accented voice shouted, "Last time ah trusted a girl to get me a magazine, Ah got a cruddy coloring book! Ah'm coming too!"
The 2 girls exploded with laughter and then, as they regained control of themselves, #3 managed to gasp, "OK, Wally" at that, he blushed and both giggled harder.
"Ok, ok, ENOUGH!" he yelled, pushing them towards the treehouse door, "Are we going or not!?" he cried as they fell silent and gawked at him, "WHAT?!"
1,2 &5 could hear the pair giggling hysterically all the way down the street.
The trio was quiet except for an occasional cough or sniffle in the chilly air. They reached the convenience store and opened the door with a little tinkle of bells from overhead. They browsed through the wall of magazines, and shelves of candy. Eventually, they got everything on the list, plus what they wanted and had brought it to the checkout.
"Hello?" Janey called, "is anyone here?" she asked tentatively as 4 slammed his hand on the service bell several times.
"Man, what do you have to do to get service around here?!" he bellowed. A door slammed in the back of the little shop, "Finally! It took ya long enough!"
But it wasn't an employee who came around the corner, not even an adult. It was 5 children with a creepy monotone voice and an even creepier stare
"Well, well, well, if it isn't our favorite Kids Next door members." They taunted. "Prepare to meet your future!" they shrieked as metal tubes shot up from under each shocked operative.
The Delightful Children from Down the Lane did their little 'he he he he he he he' thing while the tubes kept running upward. They stopped and watched as the tubes ran into the ship they had above the shop, and 3 totally different kids emerged from the end of each.
They looked at themselves, and stepped into a 'formation' somewhat like the delightful children. Wally was in the front, Kuki & Janey flanked him, Kuki on the left, Janey on the right. (The descriptions are from the front looking at them) The trio wore uniforms like the Delightfuls, and their eyes had changed too, except they were an empty green instead of blue.
"Tell us, who are you?" asked the dcfdtl.
Kuki, Wally, and Janey stood silent for a moment, then responded, "We are the Delightful Children next door."
"Correct." A dark, male, adult voice said from the shadows. Then, Father and the Delightfuls began laughing maniacally and the 'delightful children next door' stood watching, not making a sound.
(SorcressYuki)Leia: Well! That's the end of chapter 1! I hope you like it. I did my best to make sure it wasn't too short or too long.
Wally: Why are you 'Leia'?
Leia: ppl call me that because I wear my hair like her a lot.
Wally: oh.
Leia: Okay, don't flame me please! It's my first fanfic and I don't have much confidence. =-= I need 3 non-flame reviews before I post the next chapter.
