It was Monday morning. The time was 6:58AM. Wallabee Beetles was sneaking into his house before his father shouted his daily morning wake up call at 7:00.
The thirteen-year-old boy used his hook that he had during his mission yesterday, and threw it inside of his room.
'Good thing I kept the window open!' he thought to himself.
The boy climbed up the rope as fast as he could.
It was too late! As soon as the clock struck 7AM, his dad shouted the wakeup call.
"Sport! Wake up its Monday!"
No response.
Wally was climbing as fast as he could to his room. Sweat was beading down his head, with nervousness, for if his father didn't hear Wally respond, his dad would go into his room. If he found no one there, Wally is screwed!
"Sport?"
'C'mon, c'mon, c'mon!!' Wally thought. 'I'm almost there!'
"Alright then son! If you're not responding, it looks like I have to wake you up myself!"
Wally heard what his father shouted, and panicked. He raced to his windowsill, and plopped onto the floor of his bedroom.
Wally's father opened the door.
"Mornin' sport! I heard a plop. Are you alright?"
"Yeh' dad." He rubbed the pain on his head. "I just fell off m' bed."
His father laughed. "Well get ready for school. I'll be downstairs."
He closed the door to his son's room.
"PHEW!"
......................
Wally got redressed and ran downstairs for breakfast. For once, he saw both of his parents at the breakfast table.
"Mom? What are you doing here?"
She chuckled. "I live here."
"No. I mean-"
"We're all taking the week off of work," his mother interrupted. "Apparently, my boss got arrested by the police today."
"What?!"
"They explain it all here," said Mr. Beetles, reading his paper. "This is shocking news."
"Well what is it?"
"The police arrested those people who have been killing children. They got an anonymous phone call by a young girl, and arrested five children and their father."
Wally realized that the newspaper was talking about their mission yesterday.
"It seems they have been wanted for six years. They arrested other adults who were involved with this conspiracy."
"Yes," said Mrs. Beetles. "My boss is one of them."
"The paper said most of your school teachers have been arrested sport!"
"Whoa! This is great!"
"Yes it is," said Mrs. Beetles. "Now eat your breakfast Wally."
Wally sat down and ate his cereal.
"Hey son?"
"Yeh' mom?"
"I didn't see you come in last night."
"Oh yeh," grinned Wally, thinking of an excuse. "I uh," he stuttered. "I was over at Hoagie's house and I, uh..." Pause. "Was finishing up my homework!"
"Are you sure you weren't with your GIRLFRIEND?" winked his father.
Wally blushed. "Dad! I was doing homework!"
"I'm so glad high school is having a great affect on ya' sport!" laughed his father. "Now get ta' school!"
.............................
Wallabee was walking to school. Hopefully today will come off to a better start than the first two days. All of the evil teachers would be gone, and everyone will be free to learn and do whatever they wanted without any suspicion.
"Kiddo!"
Wally looked back to see who was the owner of that familiar voice.
"Scott! Willy! Hoagie!"
All three of them ran to Wally.
"What's up guys?"
"Did ya' hear the news?" asked Hoagie.
"Yeh'! My dad told me." Wally looked at Willy.
"I told him the whole thing this morning," said Scott.
Willy nodded.
"But this is great! They are arrested and put away," said Hoagie.
They started walking.
"I wonder whose going to fill in for the teachers who got arrested," said Scott.
Willy shrugged.
"It looks like all of my teachers are going to be at my school. Here's my stop. Gotta go!"
"See ya' Hoagie!"
"Bye guys!"
Hoagie ran towards his school to have another day full of learning.
Wally yawned.
"Tired are we?"
"Well we did have an all-nighter!" He yawned again.
"Yeah, but I drank some coffee."
"That stuff taste like crud! No way am I ever gonna drink that."
The trio got to their school and parted ways.
............................
"Crud!" exclaimed Wally, as he was walking to his Math class. "I forgot to do my homework! I thought I was tryin' to get to a good start."
Wally walked over to his math class and opened the door. He saw no one in the classroom. Only the teacher was sitting down at her desk.
"Wally!"
"What's going on Ms. Duffried?"
"School is canceled today! You shouldn't be here."
Wally widened his eyes. "Canceled?"
"And it's all thanks to you and your friends!"
Wally cocked his head. "Do you know...?"
"Sit down kid."
........................
"I knew about the adults and the Delightful Children From Down the Lane," said Ms. Duffried, as they were sitting, having a serious one on one conversation.
"You did?"
"Of course! I'm glad that you guys got rid of those bastards once and for all. They should be locked in a prison or a mental home."
"How do you know about us?"
"Well, don't tell anyone else but your friends, but," she scooted closer and started to whisper. They came face to face. "I used to be a member of the Kids Next Door."
"You WHAT?!"
"I'm only twenty two years old kid! Apparently, the Kids Next Door kicked me out because I got accepted to a college at the age of twelve."
"You're kidding me! You're a genius?"
"Yup! They thought college was evil. So they expelled me. I left without them erasing my memory, and continued on with my life."
"But still! How did you know I was involved?"
"I have a friend down my block. She's the main leader. Numbuh 242."
Wally laughed with realization. "I know her! She helped us yesterday."
"Yes! She told me this morning. It is a good thing that the enemy didn't know anything about me."
"So what agent were you?"
"Numbuh 176."
Wally chuckled. "It's a small world."
"Well kid, we'll talk later. I think you would want to enjoy your day off. They're finding new teachers now to cover for the ones who got arrested. You heard the news, right?"
"Yeh'."
"Alright Wally. Have fun!"
Wally got up from his seat and walked to the door.
"Bye Ms. Duffried!
She waved, and then remembered something. "Wait!"
Wally looked at her with question.
"Take this!"
She threw him a piece of candy. Wally caught it.
"Thanks!"
"No problem kid!"
With that, Wally ran out of the classroom to meet his friends.
.......................
The Australian boy ran down the empty hallways to look for his friends. They wouldn't of left without him. He wasn't paying attention to his surroundings, so he ended up bumping into someone.
"Hey ya' jerk!" he said in an angry tone. "Watch where yeh'---Kuki!"
"I'm a jerk huh?"
Wally rubbed the back of his head with nervousness. "N-n-no! I didn't mean it!"
She whacked him on the head and stuck out her tongue. "Next time, YOU should pay attention!"
They laughed.
"Schools canceled!"
"Yeh'! I know! Isn't this great?"
"We can spend the day together!"
"Sure." He gave a sweet smile. He stared at her.
About ten seconds later, Kuki cocked her head. "Anyone in there?"
Wally snapped out of his fascination trance. "Oh yeh'! Sorry 'bout that."
"It's ok. Let's meet da others!"
She grabbed his hand as they walked.
"But I thought we're going to spend the day together."
"Of course silly! With everyone else!"
Wally groaned to himself. "Oh," he said dully, then remembered. "Oh yeh'!"
"What?"
"My math teacher was a Kids Next Door member!"
They stopped.
"What?!"
"Yeh'! She told me she knew the whole story. Duffried said that she was an agent and got kicked out of the Kids Next Door because she went to college at an early age."
"Whoa."
"She knew about our mission yesterday because she's a neighbor of Numbuh 242."
"Dat's so cool!"
"Kiddo!"
Wally and Kuki looked back to the owner of the voice. The whole gang was there to greet the two, including Willy.
"Hey everyone!" said Kuki.
"We heard the whole story," said Nigel. "So your math teacher didn't have her memory erased."
"Nope."
"Alright guys," said Abigail. "How about we forget all of this for one day and just have some fun?"
"Yay! Fun!" exclaimed Kuki.
Everyone agreed.
"Let's go to the park," said Scott.
"Agreed."
"Picnic!" shouted Kuki.
"Yeah," said Abigail. "A picnic sounds good right about now."
"All right," said Nigel. "Let's all get some picnic supplies and meet at the park in an hour. We'll meet by the big tree."
"Sounds good," said Abigail.
"Ok team. I'll see you all later."
With that, Nigel and everyone else left the school to prepare for their picnic.
............................
Wally and Kuki were walking to the local market to get food for their picnic. They were around the city streets, surrounded by locals.
"Wallyyyyyyy!"
He looked at her. "What?"
"Hold my hand!"
Wally gave a take.
He blushed. "Please?"
"No!"
Kuki stopped walking, as so did Wally.
"Pleeeeeeeeease?"
"NO!"
"But why?"
"P-p-people!"
"What do you mean?"
He whispered sharply. "We're around public! No way am I doing something so embarrassin'!"
She started to tear. "You're embarrassed." Sniff. "Of me?"
The people who were walking glanced at the two.
He widened his eyes at the fact that people were looking, and politely shoved her at the closest alley. Wally positioned her against the wall. He was standing in front of her. There was no one around, so they had their privacy.
"No not at all!" He paused, and lifted his index finger to wipe her tear away. He slouched and looked to the ground. "It's just that I don't like to show my emotions. Ya' know that. It's hard enough sayin' this ta' you."
She glomped the boy and gave him a tight hug. "Aww you're so cute when you're like dis!"
Wally blushed, and pushed her away. He looked down, for he was ashamed that he couldn't share emotions in public.
"It's ok," she said sweetly. "I understand."
They walked to the market side by side in pleasant silence.
..........................
Abigail was riding her bike to her house to pick up some supplies. She was on the streets that weren't hilly, so the rise was quite pleasant.
"Abigail!"
She put the break on her bike and looked back to see whom it was.
"Oh, hey Scott," she said dully as she got off her bike.
He ran to her, and was out of breath when he reached the girl.
"What? Not happy to see me?" he said in a flirtatious way.
They started to walk.
"No- I mean I don't know. You're here. That's all. Need anything?" she said coldly.
"Geez, what crawled up your ass? You ok?"
Abigail glared at the boy. "It's nothing."
"Want a kiss to make it all better?" He made a smooching face.
She put a hand on his face. "Oh shut up!"
"Aww, come on Abby! Wanna go out on a date?"
She stopped. Under her hat, her eyes were widened with surprise.
"You're not pulling Abby's leg, are you?"
"Of course not. I really like you Abigail!"
"Then how come you act like such a jerk around me?"
"I-I don't know. Come on Abby. I told you my life story! You're the only one who knows!"
She bent down her head and cocked her eyebrow. "All because you vented to me, doesn't mean we should go out and fall in love and get married!"
"But-"
"But what?"
"But I trust you!"
"So?"
"Abigail," he said in a serious tone. "Ask around about me. Please? You'll see what a great guy I am. At least give it a try. I really like you."
She gave in and sighed with defeat. "All right," she said dully. "I'll ask around."
He held her hand and kissed her on the cheek. Abby was shocked and blushed.
"You won't regret this Abby! I am a good person!"
"Whatever kid," she shooed. "Just go and get your share of supplies."
"Alright," he said going the other way. "Bye!"
Abigail smiled to herself rode to her house.
............
Nigel Uno was walking to the Liquor Store to get some soda. He was thinking about a certain someone whom he met yesterday. He blushed at the thought of how cute she looked before she left the room, when they were in the Moon Base conference room. She was the leader of all sectors of the Kids Next Door. Numbuh 242.
As Nigel was walking toward the city, he felt a tap on his shoulder. He turned around to see who it was. He blushed under his sunglasses.
"N-numbuh 242!"
"Please Nigel," she smiled. "Call my Nancy!"
"Nancy! Hi!"
"So school is canceled for you as well?" she asked.
"Yes, I suppose most of the teachers were trying to destroy my team. I assume school is canceled for you as well?"
"You assumed right Nigel."
They chuckled.
"So where are you off to?" asked Nancy.
"I'm going to buy soda for our victory picnic. Please join us?"
"A picnic, huh?" She started to think. "Well, Moon Base gave me the day off, so why not?"
"Great! Come with me to the store. I'm going to buy some soda."
"Done deal Nigel. I'll get something too for the picnic."
They started to walk into the city in silence.
"NIIIIIIGIEEEEEEE!!!!"
Nigel stiffened his body and cringed.
"Nigie?"
"It's nothing Nancy. Just keep on walking," he said in an irritated tone.
The voice got closer.
"NIGIE!" she tackled him.
"Lizzie! What the hell are you doing?"
"I haven't SEEN you in days! I've missed you so much!"
Nigel cringed. "Well, for your information, I'm even more mad at you than usual!"
She whimpered in an annoying way. "But WHY?"
"First of all, you knew I was in the Kids Next Door, and you didn't say anything about it!"
Nancy watched the argument in silence.
"But they gave me some of their birthday cake if I didn't tell you!"
"And second of all, just in general, I am NOT your boyfriend, so quit bugging me! I just learned that we were once, but now it's over! You hear me! Get it into your head. We're over!"
Lizzie looked as if she had steam coming out of her ears.
"NIGEL UNO! I DON'T CARE IF THEY ERASED YOUR MEMORY OR NOT! I AM STILL YOUR GIRLFRIEND WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT!!!!"
Nigel backed away from her, with fear.
"I won't leave you alone until you have a NEW girlfriend, but I highly doubt THAT will happen!"
Nancy coughed.
Both had eyes on her.
"For your information, I'M his girlfriend," she said clinging her arm onto his.
Nigel widened his eyes, which made his sunglasses tip.
"Are you kidding Nigel? HER?"
"What do you mean HER?" asked Nancy in an offended tone.
"Whatever. Nigel, have fun with this loser."
"Don't call her a loser!" exclaimed Nigel. "You're so damn selfish!"
"Whatever," said Lizzie. "I'm out of here."
With that, Lizzie stormed off, saying she would never bug Nigel Uno again. As so she said...
"Thanks a lot Nancy."
"No problem Nigel."
They started walking.
"Do you wanna know a secret?"
Nigel cocked his eyebrow.
"I'm a big fan of you. I am taken by your influence. It's how I became the leader of the Kids Next Door."
"Whoa! I didn't know I was THAT important."
'And that I've always had the biggest crush on you...'.............................
