Chapter 3- Making More Sense

(BEGIN)

Confusion built up each one's heads. However, they had no time to be confused for long, for seatbelts tightly hugged their waists, not letting them free ("Whoa!" said Hoagie). Wally started tearing at it, trying to find a way to take it off as Nigel tried to find something like a button to take it off. Kuki just smiled and let her self be sat.

As if the seatbelts on the chairs were nothing, cables from way up top came down, hatching its self to latches on the side of the chairs. The cables started to lift up the chairs to the ceiling. It all happened so quickly, Nigel almost threw up.

"Whee-hee-hee!" exclaimed Kuki.

"Whoo-hoo!" said Hoagie, lifting up his arms as if on a rollercoaster.

"Numbuh 5 thinks this ride is going way too fast!" said Abby rather loudly.

"I agree!" said Nigel, holding onto the armrests for his life.

"Aw, c'mon, it's not that—" Wally said, but was interrupted, when the chairs abruptly stopped as a secret opening in the wall opened up. Expectedly, the chairs were still carried by the cables to there.

Once all five chairs were set on the ground of the tunnel, the entrance closed down, and blackness took over them again ("Aw man!" Hoagie said). But, it seemed that the floor was…moving. The Kids Next Door couldn't investigate, for the seatbelts still held them tightly to the chair.

After the long journey on what seemed to be a propeller carrying them in the air, they grew impatient. But, luckily, it was just in time to see light up above. ("More traveling?" said Wally.) Eventually, they ended up in what seemed to be an office. A table was in the middle of all chairs, and a screen was to the side. It was like a super villain or hero meeting.

The room wasn't small, or big, but it made enough room to let the KND there was more than what meets the eye. Unfortunately, none could get out, because the seatbelts were still on. In a matter of moments, bowls of candy arose from the table, in front of each KND membuh. Numbuhs 2 and 4 went at it, not thinking before actions. Abby sat there staring at it, kind of investigating it. Nigel sat there, not in the mood, while Kuki was throwing it in the air, smile on her face.

"Oh, it feels like heaven!" Hoagie announced. "This candy is so sweet, it's sour!"

Abby rolled her eyes and continued to stare at the bowl. As much as she loved candy, it didn't seem right. However, it wasn't long before she had to cut short her "investigation". Out of the floor (in front of the screen), rose Calli and Willy. The light shone on them, as the floor evened out. They got glares and scowls from the team. However, Calli brushed it off, as Willy just stared at them back, kind of afraid.

"Well, Kids Next Door, I wonder if you enjoyed the movie…" Calli said, smiling menacingly. "It must've been a real experience." Her voice had been dripping with sarcasm, so much that it made Abby cringe.

"Um, please don't get mad at us…" sighed Willy. "My sister is hyped up on candy, and just watched a couple of horror movies. So…um, yeah, ignore her."

"Well then, what do you want us for?!" Nigel exclaimed, interrupting the mood.

"Well…" Calli smirked, her eyes growing larger as she rolled them.

"I've decided that it's best to return…" whispered that accented voice.

All five adults turned their heads to the kitchen entrance. A woman stood there, looking sullen, and holding a suitcase. She had curly red hair that reached her shoulders. Her green tank-top was covered by a black zip-up jacket. She had an orange skirt, and black and orange striped socks. She definitely looked different, especially from adults.

"I understand if you want me gone, though…" she whispered, finally looking up to the 5 pairs of eyes. "I know it's unexpected, but I had to come back. It was murder there! And besides, I have vital information in my mind."

They all stared. The one woman, Kuki, had clasped her hand tightly to the male adult's, Wally's, shoulder. Abby slightly smiled at the sight of her, while Hoagie examined her from head to toe. Nigel had looked down once she looked up. It was clear he was blushing.

"Fanny…it's not a matter of why you are here, but how did you get here," said Nigel, now looking up at her. "Why did the president let you go? How did you manage to let him leave you?"

She smirked, "I escaped." She scanned the room.

Well, it seems that Wally and Kuki are finally together, she thought. Nigel…is…doing well, I hope. Hoagie has changed so much. And…Abby.

She scowled at the sight of the pregnant woman. Thoughts were building in her head once she saw her. But she shook the thoughts off and walked towards the table, setting down her bag onto it.

"Like I said, I have vital info," she said. "And in this suitcase, contains the most important of our research."

"Okay, let's start with one thing: this is room is like an office, yes, but for KND membuhs," Willy said. "Every child in the KND has this room, if not, a tree house. There is only one entrance, other than the one you took, which was a tunnel leading from the outside, and the other entrance is located right behind us. I'm sure that there is no other entrance, at least, to my prior knowledge."

"Which is very large; his IQ, I mean," replied his sister, softly, crossing her arms. "Seriously, the kid's a super genius! It's… weird with the parents we have."

He rolled his eyes, and then turned to the kids sitting there. Calli rolled her eyes at him. After a moment of realization that it was an awkward silence, he smiled and spoke up.

"Well. She hasn't seen the video," he started. "Because they instructed to let me, and only me, to see it, Calli. But, honestly, she seems to put me down for anything else I do. Any questions?"

"Yeah…" spoke up Nigel. "How do they know about the future?"

Calli mumbled something so low that no one could hear what she was saying. However, the rest brushed it off, like it wasn't anything important even if they weren't sure it wasn't. Willy put his hands behind his back, and stood there, unsure.

"Well, I'm not exactly sure," he said. "They didn't say anything about that to me. But, I guess, it would be best if you asked them yourselves…"

The five KND membuhs looked at him, stunned at what he said. Abby had said something along the lines of "What'cha say?" Willy only sighed in return, as Calli put on this hopeless look on her face, which maybe looked lustful.

"Well, what I mean is…" Willy said, taking deep breaths in between words. "They're kinda…important to world of KND. And, well, for reasons I don't know, they're on the moon-base. I don't know about the rest, but I know that one is in a jail-cell, and the other (the one I know as Numbuh –34) is in a frozen time-capsule. But that's all I do know, other than the operative in jail is restricted to high-security and only leader, guards, and high-positioned membuhs are allowed to see him."

Calli glanced at him, annoyed. Wally thought of this as normal, for they were brother and sister, and siblings always acted meanly towards one another. However, it was kind of one-sided this time. She seemed to get more annoyed when he said anything about the tape, including the kids in it. Wally shook it off of course.

"Any more questions?" Willy asked the group.

It seemed that Wally, by now, wasn't really interested as he slouched onto the table, taking in slow bites of candy. His teeth munched through the chocolate, as he heard soft whispers among Abby and Hoagie.

"No?" Willy said, disappointed, as if expecting more from them. "Well, I think it's the right time to let you free."

Everyone seemed to perk up at this (except for Kuki, of course, who had been perky the whole time). The seatbelts immediately, after that, opened by themselves, and each membuh hopped off the seat, stretching to crack their backs or something like that. A door behind the siblings opened up, and it was seemingly the one door that they had talked about earlier. The KND followed them, in a single file line, Hoagie in the back. He had stuffed his pockets with candy as Abby, who was in front of him, rolled her eyes. The door led to what seemed to be an elevator.

"Oh, God, I hope it's not like the last elevator," said Nigel.

Willy slightly giggled at this, and turned to his sister. She stuffed her hands into her pockets and sighed.

"Computer, Calli's room," she said in a bored tone.

The others awed at this (save Willy, since he had already been on it, surely). In a matter of mere seconds, the elevator stopped and the door opened. It led to a cerulean-blue walled room, with posters all over it. There was a bed with black covers, a TV stand (that had a Gamestation 2 platform, with various games scattered around it), a waist-high dresser with a mirror and various cracks and marker-written words on it. It seemed simple, though.

As Willy walked out, the others followed, standing around in her room, awkward. She had this bored expression on her face, as Kuki was smiling the whole way. After all were into the room, the door of the elevator closed behind them, sinking into the ground, making it seem as if there had been nothing wrong with the scene. Calli walked over to her dresser and opened a small box that had lain upon it. Once the box opened up, a bunch of coins were perfectly in place, in lines that consisted of 7-10 letters. The sides of the box started to lay flat when she wounded the music player four times. It had been clear that it was like a keyboard.

She typed up something quickly, and the mirror had turned to somewhat of a computer screen. The screen had "Status" of the KND and such.

"Welcome Numbuh 18, Calli Kana Beatles," said a computer voice from what seemed to be speakers coming out of the ceiling.

Calli winced at her name, as if she didn't like it. Wally blinked. Beatles? Wasn't that his last name? He heard Kuki giggle and say "Hee, hee, she has your last name!" And Abby smirked. Calli turned to them, shooting daggers, signaling them to shut up. She typed up something else that made the screen switch to something else other than the status. It said "Numbuhs 1-5 at the top".

"Most of what you need to know on what happened to you is on this screen," she said so low, that the others could scarcely make out what she said. "But…I cannot decipher what happened after decommissioning."

"So…what does happen to us in the 'future'?" asked Hoagie.

"We can't tell you," interrupted Willy grimly. "But we can tell you that after you, whole of KND fell."

The others blinked. It came to a realization to Hoagie, however.

"We can change it, right?" he said. "We're already time-traveling, so it wouldn't matter, right?"

Calli and Willy looked at each other, confused. Calli spoke up, however, "We…can't tell you. Just…trust us, 'kay?"

"Sure!" said Kuki, interrupting. "I mean, you're practically like family now, right?"

Oh how close to the truth she was.

Willy nodded, and Calli scrolled down to the bottom of the screen, to the last paragraph. Apparently, the last paragraph was all they needed to know. She turned to the rest.

"Now…" she began. "What's this about him having mine and my brother's last name?"

The others looked at each other, confused.
