Operation: R.O.S.E

(I'm not going to say what R.O.S.E. is until the end –it spoils the story)

My first KND fanfic! The first chapter doesn't explain anything... it's just an introduction to the story. I'm not too confident about this story though...

Disclaimer: I do not own Kids Next Door nor the song 'Fly' from Hilary Duff.

Any moment

Everything can change

Feel the wind on your shoulder

For a minute

All the world can wait

Let go of your yesterday...

"Numbah Five, Numbah Five... Wake up..."

Abby felt the ground under herself again. A moment ago she was suspended in the air... No, actually she was dropping from ten feet high and landed onto the ground. Blurry images appeared before her eyes. Then, she made out Numbah Two's face. Bit by bit, the image of Numbah Two became clearer.

Can you hear it calling?
Can you feel it in your soul?
Can you trust this longing?

"Nigel?" She called out weakly. That's not right, why am I feeling so weak? She tried to push herself up but every time she tried, her body will ache and she would fall to the ground.

"Numbah Five, we're... we're all here... Don't worry, we'll help you..." Numbah Two said in a quivering voice.

"Help... How can you help? Don't lie, Numbah Two... Numbah Five knows she's just ruined the mission..." she muttered weakly. O god, this is so embarrassing... the usually cool and diva Numbah Five is lying weakly before her teammates, how worse can it get?

There was silence among the five. Numbah Five's vision was just getting better but with every minute she could feel the pain spreading like rapid fire throughout her weak shell. She could hear Numbah Three crying further away and Numbah Four trying to get her to stop wetting the floor with her tears.

And take control,
Fly...

Open up the part of you that wants to hide away...

"Numbah Two, where's Numbah One?"

"He's... He's... in his room."

"Call him here... please..."

"Numbah Five...."

"Numbah Five needs to talk to Numbah One now."

"But he's in a bad mood... He told everyone not to disturb him..."

"Please... just get Numbah One here..."

"Alright but Numbah Five..."

"Yes?"

"Lizzie just called. I told her One's out so you have about three minutes to talk..."
With that, Numbah Two went away. Numbah Five tried to form what she wanted to say to Numbah One before he comes.

"Numbah Five's sorry that she ruined the mission. There's something Numbah Five wants to tell you, Numbah One. She..." Then she stopped. What can she say? Well, she could add that he had tried his best and that she admires him for that. They were the first ones here (I mean before 2, 3 and 4) and well, they don't seem to knock well (like old friends do)...

You can shine...
Forget about the reasons why you can't in life,
And start to try, cause it's your time,
Time to fly.

Sometimes One just doesn't know when to stop and it was her that would tell him to stop. If he would just stop getting into huge arguments they could have been friends since... well... a long time ago.

"You what?"

She turned to see Numbah One sitting down beside her.

"Numbah Five doesn't know what you're talking about."

"You should. If you don't, well, I need to tell you something."

"Numbah Five doesn't mind."

"Well, if you do not know... you've been decommissioned."

"Numbah Five's been decommissioned? Why?"

"You know, the last mission was pretty important to the KND with all the new technology arriving and the sudden uprise of the Delightful Children... You were off guard and let the Delightful Children get away with our new weapons and infiltrate into the Moon Base. Well, 86 wasn't that happy with that and honestly neither am I."

Numbah Five bit her lip. She can't tell him why she had not been on guard.

"NIGEL UNO! YOU'RE LATE!" came a shrill cry from behind them.

"I tried to keep her away but..." Numbah Two apologized.

"It's alright..."


All your worries, leave them somewhere else,
Find a dream you can follow,
Reach for something, when there's nothing left,
And the world's feeling hollow.

Numbah Two helped Abby up and handed her a box full of her things. He looked at her with sad eyes and said, "Bye then."

Numbah One left with Lizzie without even looking back at Abby.

Numbah Three gave Abby a big strangling hug and Numbah Four... well... he just offered to shake her hand.


Can you hear it calling?
Can you feel it in your soul?
Can you trust this longing?

So is this it? Abby looked back at the tree house. How can the renowned Numbah Five be decommissioned just like this?

And take control,
Fly...

Open up the part of you that wants to hide away

Time to fly.

She picked up the box and took a step away...


And when you're down and feel alone...

Why now? Why not later? Why me? She watched Numbah One's fading shadow. Should she tell him? Maybe not... Not with Lizzie around.


Just want to run away..

She took another step... and another... and broke into a run...

Trust yourself and don't give up...

"Numbah One!" She cried at last. Everyone stopped moving. Abby felt like collapsing partly because of the pain in her head and partly because of what she was about to say. Should I say it?

"What?"

This is it.

Intense terror.

"I..."


You know you're better than anyone else...

"You?" Numbah One raised a brow. His hand was still in Lizzie's.

'Last Chance, Numbah Five... Either now or never...' she told herself.


Any moment

Everything can change,
Feel the wind on your shoulder,

All the world can wait,
Let go of your yesterday...

"Numbah One... I..."

At that moment, a enormous crash came from behind. A huge giant cookie (cookie? Well... it is the KND after all) appeared on the wooden floor of the tree house.

'Why now?' Abby thought.

"What is that?" Numbah Four said.

"Cookie!" Numbah Three squealed.

Numbah Four groaned.

"Wait... Listen..." Numbah One said. Silence prevailed.

A soft tick tock could be heard from the giant cookie.

"A bomb!" Numbah Two cried.

"Ok... A cookie bomb! Yeah! Can I have it?"

"No, Numbah Three, you can't have it. Numbah Two is there a way to detonate the bomb?"

"I can't be sure until I actually see the bomb, Numbah One."

"Alright then, Kids Next Door, destroy the cookie!"

Numbah Five watched as her ex-teammates started taking the enormously large cookie apart. They were too busy to notice someone creeping up on Numbah Five (and neither did Numbah Five notice). A gloved hand covered her mouth. She tried to scream but they were muffled by the person's hand. The person dragged Numbah Five into a dazzling looking limousine waiting outside.


Fly...

"It's just an alarm clock!" Numbah Four exclaimed. He held up a red alarm clock in his hand. The team sighed.

"I wonder who sent it," Numbah Two wondered.

"Hey, where's Five?"

"Must have gone... Where's Lizzie?"

"No really, Abby left her stuff on the floor. She wouldn't leave without them. I think something is wrong," Numbah Two suspected.

Any moment,

Everything can change...
