Leia: Well, as I suspected, this is dead in the water. I'll still finish it, so maybe I'll get some reviewers on this chapter. And I'm really sorry if this in any way gets mixed up with Moon Comix's OPERATION DREAMS, or Numbuh M's OPERATION: DREAMING. (I should have figured this would be a popular title! Again, I'm really sorry!)
OPERATION: D.R.E.A.M.S.
Chapter 2: Get out of my head!
Hoagie awoke with a throbbing pain in his head. Never had he experienced a headache this bad. He sat up and looked around to inspect his room. Nothing out of the ordinary, he became suspicious. Hadn't she last been in the TV room? And where was Numbuh 5? She'd been there too.
"Man, I could use a soda right now." He said, climbing down from his airplane-cockpit bed. He reached the bottom of the ladder, and yawned. When he opened his eyes, he was astounded to see dozens of soda cans all over his floor, all full of his favorite kind.
"AWESOME!" he exclaimed. Then he thought a little, and realized what was going on, "Aw, maaaaan! I'm dreaming again!"
"Quite..." 2 teenage voices said from behind him. The lights dimmed to an inky blackness as Numbuh 2 whimpered helplessly, disappearing into the shroud of shadows.

In her apparent room, Numbuh five was roused by 4 other operatives, all clamoring around noisily, making such a racket she wondered how she could have been sleeping in the first place.
All her teammates looked much different, more 'cool' in a way. For one thing, Numbuh 4 was taller than all the others were, and more buff than normally. Numbuhs 3 and 6 had let down now long, silky hair that flowed beautifully, and while 6's was still a honey-brown, 3's hair now had rainbow streaks through the black. Only Numbuh 1 seemed to have no changes about him.
No changes, of course didn't include everyone's new outfit. Numbuh 4 had an orange-sleeved baseball shirt with a 4 on it, and Numbuh 3 had rainbow-ey clothes. Numbuh 6 had a style similar to her old one, with a navy blue hoodie, a yellow T-shirt, red jeans, and somewhat-hidden all-white sneakers. Numbuh 1's wardrobe change was a red long sleeve shirt with grid-like lines, over a black T-shirt, along with blue jeans and black sneakers.
"What is goin' on?!" she inquired. This outburst stopped them in their tracks, allowing her to get out of bed, and nearly scream with astonishment at her new self.
Numbuh 5 looked in a full-length mirror at a herself with black jeans torn at the knees, black sneakers, her traditional braid, and a light blue vest over a plain white shirt.
"I dunno what's going on, but I really like my hair!" Kuki chirped in her usual rainbow-ish way.
"I've thought about it a lot, and have concluded that I am in a dream, and you are figments of my imagination!" Nigel said.
The other 4's reactions were quite mixed. Kuki had absolutely no clue, and yelped happily, "Yay! I'm a figment!"
Wally and Janey, however took offense at this and started talking loudly at the same time, saying things like;
"Figment of imagination!?"
"Ah am not ah dream!! Ah'm IN it!!"
"Who are you calling imaginary?!"
Abby just shook her head at the insanity, and took a big book from a bookshelf that appeared and dropped it on her juice bar, which resulted in the effect she wanted, silence.
"All right, y'all made yo' point. Now let me make mine! We're all dreamin', but it's linked o' somethin'. So stop arguin'!" Then, with a mischievous look in her eye, she said, "Who's evuh wanted to get away with anything?"

The Kids Next Door was in the city, or so it seemed. Plenty of people were running moving around, but they had the same emptiness as the Delightful Children's eyes.
The kids were running around, doing the most outrageous things, like insulting random 'people', breaking windows on purpose (heck, it's a dream!), eating unfathomable amounts of food, jumping off buildings (why would it hurt?), driving cars, and tons of other ridiculous stuff.
Numbuh 6 was driving a red sports car down a near empty road, with 'cops' in pursuit. She did a screeching, wide turn (think action movie) and the cars crashed into a giant marshmallow that Numbuh 3 had gotten Numbuh 4 to jump on with her. It was almost like a trampoline, but a lot taller.
Abby was totally into the bowling alley, as the weirdest things happened all the time, such as a tutu-wearing antelope eating the ball when it flew by on a winged unicycle.
The team leader had jumped out of a plane that "Hoagie" was apparently driving. As Nigel plunged towards earth, Numbuh 2 in front turned around and gave the thumbs up, his yellow goggles flashed green, then normal again. A brunette teenage girl plummeted out of the plane after him as a blonde boy went to the front and clicked a button on the small remote in his hand.
"Well done, kid." He said.
"Why are you guys doing this to me? Why am I so important?" Hoagie blurted out.
"Let's just say Father and his new partner are most interested in you." The boy said.
"What's your name, anyway. Everyone's got a name, right?"
"My name is Nick, but that's really none of your concern, is it?"
Hoagie sighed, but didn't get to say anything else, because Nick clicked the button again and sat down in the back of the plane.
"Sometimes I wonder if it's not worth it." He muttered.

The wind whipped around Nigel's clothes. The sky was really a great place, but this was a one-time deal for him. Something, or rather someone grabbed his arms. Using KND self defense, he managed to see his attacker. She had a blue visor, a pink halter-top, and black jeans. Unfortunately, she was too strong for Nigel. Once she had him under control, she flared out the parachute behind her.
He managed to gasp, "Who are you?"
She gave him a stony glare, but responded simply, "Mara, and I'm not your friend."
"Duh, teenager, but what do you want with me?"
"What do I want? I want a lot of things. What my boss wants should be your biggest concern right now."
"What does he want?"
"You'll see..."

Leia: Well, this was chapter 2, I hope SOMEBODY reviews, as this is currently dead in the water. I promise connections to my other story, A new team member, and way cooler stuff in the next few. And anyway, I can't make the story better for you if you don't review.
