Hi! Here's Chapter 7!

Velvet Panther: Actually, Amb's brother can remeber, but none of the others can for some reason.

Disclaimer: I don't own KND, 'Fly' by Hilary Duff (the 'Sample Song') or any Mp3 companies.

I do, however, own an Mp3. A very small one. Only holds 120 songs at most.

Chapter 7: Discovering the Real World (and mp3s!)

"Wow."

"Will you puh-leeze stop saying that?" Numbuh 4 said. "You're giving me a headache."

Let's rewind a little bit. Before Amber could be out in the open, Sector V had decided that she needed to blend in. Of course, a sailor suit really stands out, so the fivesome tried to make her a little more 'invisible'.

Here was the result- Numbuhs 3 and 5 had put together a red shirt, jeans, and some sneakers- just casual stuff. Amber was a bit surprised, but agreed to try them on. However, she wouldn't let the two girls get rid of her bow.

"It's dorky," Numbuh 5 had said.

"I don't care."

"Okay, but Numbuh 5 is telling you, it's dorky!"

This brings us back to where we were. Sector V was showing Amber around Cleveland, and she was stunned. She found it hard to believe that she had lived in this city all her life.

"So…" Numbuh 1 said, "where do you want to go first?"

Amber shrugged. "I don't even know what half of these places are." She closed her eyes and randomly pointed at a store. "That one!"

The store was 'Music N Stuffs'. "Well, okay. But you have to be careful in there. There's lots of subliminally evil stuff in there."

"What's this?"

"It's an Mp3. It plays music." They were in the music store. Amber was a bit confused- she had headed for the symphony section (which she had listened to all her life) but Sector V dragged her away from it ("That's the junk we warned you about") and to a section that was unfamiliar to her. The section was selling Mp3s, and there was one that you could try right there.

"Now this stuff is cool," Numbuh 4 said.

"Yeah," Numbuh 5 said. "Numbuh 5 thinks that you'll like this!"

Amber picked up the Mp3, and turned it on. Its little screen flashed blue, and a song name appeared. It was titled 'Sample Song'.

"How do I turn the music on?" she questioned.

"Press the little button with the arrow on it, and put the earphones on your head," Numbuh 2 said. She did, and the music started.

It was a sort of Rock/Pop thing. Amber was taken by surprise. "This is…music?" She paused, then leaped up. "I LOVE IT!"

"We knew you would." Numbuh 1 smiled.

The next 3 hours were happy ones for Amber. She had discovered freedom, and it was awesome.

She loved the mp3 so much, she bought it (with a credit card- Father had loaned it to her for villainous reasons, and she never gave it back). And as if that weren't enough, Numbuh 5 told Amber that she could download songs off the Internet, put them on the player, and listen to them whenever she wanted. Of course, then she had to explain what the Internet was. That took a while.

There were many other places- the ice cream parlor, the movie store, the arcade- and Amber loved them all. Of course, at the end of the day, the Mp3 was still her favorite.

But before she knew it, it was 5:00. She changed back into her own stuff, and got ready to leave. "Thank you," she said. "I can't believe that you'd trust me."

"Well, you said that there were missions to rescue you and your siblings," Numbuh 1 said. "We'll have to go up to Moonbase and access mission files. Until then, we're a bit uneasy. We'll have the results soon. Until then, just wait."

"Okay. Bye." Amber walked out of the treehouse and raced home. She couldn't wait to tell her siblings what she had seen.

Bye! -SP
