Author's Notes: Let me tell you all something. If there's one couple in the beginning, don't think it's going to be the same… Okay, thanks for all the reviews! It's really helped me a lot. In fact, by everyone, I've been inspired to continue with the fic earlier than expected! Yay!

Chapter 3- Watches

(BEGIN)

Wally, who had whispered the word (Father), had instantly noticed other four kids say it. He turned his head to see if there was any other person in the dark room. He hadn't seen a thing. Strange.

"Hello? Anyone out there?" he said, while the TV took a pause.

"Wally, is that you?" said a familiar voice.

"Kuki?" he answered back. "Are you okay? Are you hurt? Is everything alright?"

"Aw…Numbuh 4 cares about his girlfriend…" giggled a voice.

He recognized it easily. "Shut it, Numbuh 2!"

"Will ya'll shut up and let us watch the darn video!" said Abby in the dark.

At once, everyone did. The video really began, starting with Father.

He cleared his throat and straightened the camera.

"Hello, children," he said. "I am Father… And no, not your father, my Delightfuls' father, but, I used to be called Mr. Wigglestein. Now, you're wondering what I am doing here and talking about, am I correct? Well… I've come to deliver a message, a message that will change you and your future children's children."

The screen switched to a television being shown on the screen Wally was watching. A bunch of kids were watching this television. One kid, who was blonde in KND armor, was standing by the television Father was on. He was standing over the other kids, with a stick that was pointing at white board.

"Listen, kids, yes, you, watching this tape…" he started. "That was Father, as you can see…that revolutionized the Kids Next Door. I am Numbuh 70, the Kids Next Door Head of Membuhs New and Old. MNO for short."

He took in a breath. He put on a straight face then. "These…are my companions…" he stated, pointing at the few kids in the group.

The screen jumped to a boy with black hair and glasses. He, too, had KND armor. "This is Numbuh 281," said Numbuh 70 off screen. On the screen now came seemingly hand-written words in white (like on the Real World) that said "Numbuh 281, Co-Director of Mission Controls".

It now skipped to a girl, grinning. She had a light shade of brown hair in a side ponytail. She wore black sweat pants and sweater (not to mention a black choker). "Next is Numbuh 54," said he again. The same lettering came on saying "Numbuh 54, Chief Foreman of Australian Base".

Next was a boy, who had the same colored hair as the girl before. He had looked like the girl in everything (except for the mop of hair and the missing choker). Numbuh 70 said, "Numbuh 55." The white lettering came on again, saying "Numbuh 55, Co-Chief Foreman of Australian Base".

A guy sat next. He had spiked up green hair and was in a white shirt, and had regular jeans (that had many patches of different bands all over). "And finally, Numbuh –34." The bottom writing said, "Numbuh –34, Guy-Who's-Really-Important-But-Not-Exactly-Sure-What-He-Does", filling up the whole bottom in smaller writing than the rest.

"We are going to inform you the basics and details of the future," Numbuh 70 said. "Well…your future, our present. When you get this, we'll probably be decommissioned and had hit the road, even if I shudder to think that we will."

"Yeah!" exclaimed Numbuh 55.

Numbuh 70's face faltered a bit, but he tried to keep it straight and continue. "You were one of the best teams of the Kids Next Door, as you may realize it or not. Numbuh 1, you were an excellent leader! Leading this great team, of course! Numbuh 2, so great! Numbuh 2, you made technologies so great such as the C.O.O.L.B.U.S. and F.L.A.P.P.U.H! Oh, and Numbuh 3…you're Numbuh 3! Who doesn't like you?!"

Numbuh 4 growled at that. He looked towards the way Numbuh 3 was in the darkness. He could practically see her blushing even in the pitch black darkness of this!

"Then it's one of the greatest fighters, Numbuh 4. Such fire! Lastly, it's Numbuh 5. The calmest and greatest of all. All of you had a great quality that led to an impeccable record. So flawless, it's unbelievable. That's why you're here.

"Right after the last of your team fell and was decommissioned early the whole of KND broke down. Terrible day it was. When Father had taken over children's lives, and turned them against their own kind. It was only left to a few KND operatives.

"Sure, it was a terrible time, but everything was only beginning. After the great leader Numbuh 362 left, she left a message telling that Father was well, that's not important. What's important is that you are informed and have to help the future.

"And yes, we do realize that you are traveling through time, even if you are not so clear about it. Remember Charlie? Let's say you know him…very well. And you wouldn't believe anything else we tell you, for all you guys know is that we are just some kids telling you what happened in the last twenty or so years.

"You'll be briefed by Numbuh 281. He's an expert at this, anyway."

The screen shot back at Numbuh 281. He stood up and went up to the white board that Numbuh 70 was at. He grabbed the yard stick he was holding and pointed it at the board.

"This…is what is going on…" Numbuh 281 stated. "You are traveling in time, as Numbuh 70 said, and it is extremely important that you get the word to the current head of KND. He—or she—will understand. For, this is a mission that cannot end by the time we are gone."

He took in a deep breath, and continued to keep the stick at the board. It said "Operation: TIME-TRAVEL".

"Yes, I know it makes not much sense now, but since time never goes backward, you'll learn in the future," he continued. "Now, onto business. You see those watches on your wrists? They are the reason for your time travel. They go accordingly to your Type. Your Type is the thing that makes you. It's basically your aura with a mix to it. The Type tells your whole you. If my calculations are correct, your Type matches your color, am I correct? But I must warn you! If you ever see a black watch like yours, stay away.

"Do you ask how do I know this and such? Well, I've been designing these watches ever since my own brother, ex-Numbuh 273, was in the KND. He had gotten the idea and developed in his mind…until…never mind. That isn't important; the important thing is that you must know how the watches work.

"The watches are called Power Travel Watches. Or just call it the Watches for short. The bunch of buttons will confuse you so listen closely.

"The top right button is the power. Never, ever press it when you're not in your own time. The infinite abyss will swallow you up and take you into—err. You don't wanna hear the rest. Just don't do it, or you'll forever disappear.

"Second, there is a pad of arrows on the left like the keyboard arrows. Just press it to go left and right and down and up on the screen. Nothing important. But below that is the deep blue circle button. It's 'enter', like 'yes' or like the 'X' button on a Gamestation 2. The one red button below that is to rush time, like you are standing in one spot and the rest just rush. Remember, you only have three chances for doing that! After that, you are forever rushing through time.

"On the top right is the speaker. Your personalized computer voice will talk to you from here. She isn't harmful, don't worry, and won't give anyone anything unless instructed to.

"On the right are four buttons vertically, all yellow. The first one is a round button to scan the room for living things or moving objects, second one below that is to send a picture or scan to another person with a Watch. Third one is to create holograms. Through the 'net (which can easily be accessed on your Watch by touching the screen, and you can carry yourself through that) you can get pics, maybe. Or, you can scan the object in front, or you can scan the world, all ways are fine. Fourth button is just to clear the screen back to main menu.

"Remember all that? It may be important in the future…"

Wally stared. He hadn't been copying things, only tried to remember warnings and main stuff. He panicked, what was he to do? Did the others remember?

"Now, for the real important stuff…" continued on Numbuh 281. "On the top of the screen, is the Destination. The Destination is basically the part that says where you are, what time, what year, and stuff. You can also change it. It's in this order…"

He wrote down something on the board right next to the "Operation: TIME-TRAVEL". When he was done, it was made out as:

P.M./4:06/November 20th /2028/A.D.
A.M. B.C.

"These are the Watches' time Destination. According to my calculations, you would be more or less at this time, and date. To change, you roll it to what you want: to 3030, even to a minute later. There's a catch, you cannot go over year 5035. But, otherwise, you are free to go anywhere in time.

"And on the bottom, it's to activate self-defense system (simply called Defense). Whenever someone other than you messes, or merely touches the Watch, they will turn to chalcedony. It's a type of quartz rock. Now, further Defenses are the following: craziness, if someone unidentified (somehow) makes an invalid code and other defenses if user is in battle. These defenses are Stunning, Zitting (giving zits), and laser gun. All can be easily accessed only if in battle. Your personalized computer voice will help you through this. Options and such will be given to you. But the Defense all depends on you.

"Which brings me to another subject: enemies…I'm 100 percent sure that there will be enemies, you have to count on that. That's why you have Defense. Reasons are unknown to me as to why they are there, but they are. So, keep your eye out, despite all Defenses.

"So, keep a sharp mind about it. Remember these things: the Watches, Destination, Defense, Types, and button controls (also your personalized computer voice, which you could name). Further details will be with her, or… Well, probably, us in the future. But this is only a 50/50 here, so don't take the chance. I hope you remember at least the important stuff."

Numbuh 281 took a deep breath, as if he had been holding it almost half the time. He walked out of screen, and jumped in Numbuh 54, who smiled largely in front of the white board.

"Thought it was over? Well, I'm here to tell you about The Rules. The Rules: First rule-You mustn't do what he said not to do. Two, you are to never give out your real name, or else bad things will happen! Thirdly, if you happen to run into your future selves (and this will happen), you are to remain calm, don't stare, and walk away. Maybe they'll think that it's their imaginations. Teens and adults are so dense like that.

"Fourth, if you happen to run into someone you know, please don't catch their attention. They will certainly be crazed. Fifth! (Almost there!) Don't brag about your Watches. If someone finds out about it, they will most likely try to steal it. And that will end up causing enemies, and you wouldn't want more enemies or something like that! Always keep on guard, is sixth. And lastly, there's the 'don't-try-to-attract-too-much-attention' rule.

"All of these rules will lead to the last one. And if you are in public eye, don't make such a fuss…either that or rush time. So, it's best to save your 'Rusher' for emergencies. Thanks!"

Her brother now took her place. He stared at the camera and then took a deep breath, as if he didn't know what to say.

"Well," he said slowly. "There are a few other things. (Sorry.) The enemies will get you. Certainly. The leader of them is none other than, Father. If he somehow has found out your location, try to contact (using your Watch—ask computer voice for more detail)…well this sounds weird, but—"

A loud crash was heard. And a "What was that?" from Numbuh 54. Numbuh 70 grabbed the camera to his face. It was filled with terror and panic. You could see –34 in the background running.

"Apparently, the enemy has found us!" Numbuh 70 exclaimed, as Numbuh –34 was shouting orders in the background ("Do you want them here again? C'mon, hustle!"). "It's Bzoink! Don't listen to the other side, just do Bzoink! Bzoink!"

"Bzoink" was the last word heard before the screen went to static. All was shut down.

Wally saw the lights flash on in an instant. The others were staring at their own screens, and he realized they were each in separate rooms, separated by glass windows. It had been strange. It was completely dark, then why didn't he see their screens? How were they able to talk to each other through the rooms? But the last question was answered when Wally saw the speaker on the ceiling. It was all through speakers.

"Bzoink?" asked Nigel through the speaker, who was between Hoagie and Kuki. "What's that supposed to mean?"

(END CHAPTER)

Author's Note: Okay. I know, I know, it took a very long time, but hey. I had Writer's Block. And I especially have Writer's Block for Operation: REAL. Also, I couldn't log in, once I had the chapter done. It was weird, ya know? I hope you guys understand. Reviews are greatly appreciated.

That's me
