Operation D.R.E.A.M.S Chapter 5: Wally's Decommissioning
Moon Comix: HEY! Thanx for your reviews people! Flashbacks and song/poem words are in italics like this and MSN names are in bold like this. And also, I need to decide something for the next few chapters. Should I make my own villain or use an old one, and if the latter, which villain, besides The DCFDTL and Father, should it be. Or should it be both? You tell me in reviews.
Wally: yak, yak, yak, yak, yak
Hoagie: you can't talk man, you do that all of the time
Wally: Look! Yipper!
Hoagie: WHERE? WHERE?
Wally: and they call me the stupid one…
Moon Comix: Be quiet Wally
Wally: what, ya not man enough to say Shut up?
Moon Comix: no, I just want to be nice, and I don't want to scare you
Wally: I'm not scared of nothing!
Lizzie: Hey Wally, I always thought you were cute…. Wanna go out with me?
Wally: NOOOOOO! (Runs away screaming)
Moon Comix: Authors can do those things to a kid; also I don't own KND or DBZ, you'll find out why later
Hoagie: Hey, if we're teens in the story how come we're kids in these conversations?
Moon Comix: What am I an Author?
Hoagie: yeah
Moon Comix: oh, ENJOY!

Wally stared at the girl who he was sitting beside and muttered to Kuki "if I had a quarter for everyone who's said that to me, I would be a rich man" before answering "I've never seen you before in my life"
The girl chuckled and it sounded like she hadn't chuckled before, "Wally, how could you not remember me, Francine, or Fanny to some special people, like you"
Kuki scowled at the girl while putting a hand to her head, like Wally did when he had a strange vision, and muttered, "oh I remember you Fanny!"
"Hello Kuki" sneered the girl, Fanny "I remember the day when I wiped you clean, although you wouldn't"
"I don't remember what you did" said Kuki quietly "but I remember you, you witch"
The two girls then started to insult each other as Wally looked from one to the other, confused at what was happening until he slammed his fist on the table, "Kuki, strange girl, shut up and follow me" The three got up and walked to the door of the class as the teacher, Mr. Wheeblo, walked into the room.
"Where do you think your going?" questioned Mr. Wheeblo in his Spanish accent and Wally had an excuse in his mind, but he was hoping that the others would play along.
"Kuki's sick. She has a bad stomach ache and we need to take her to the infirmary right away!" said the blonde, a bit quickly, as Kuki grabbed her stomach and groaned. Mr. Wheeblo nodded and let them pass as they turned into a deserted corridor.
"Right, who are you and how do you know me?" questioned Wally and Fanny pulled out a small box thing. She pressed a button and a small green beam shot into Wally's forehead. Kuki gasped as Wally slapped a hand to his head in pain, he cried out loud and fell to the floor, hand still on his head. All Fanny did was grin.
"Now you shall remember me," she muttered, "thanks to me wee device"
Hoagie had just walked out of a small storeroom, after fixing yet another broken machine in the school, and whistled along the empty hallway until he heard a cry of pain. He ran, or tried to, to the sound and found Wally on the ground, Kuki hovering around him and a red haired girl with a small box.
"What the…?" said the American boy as something stirred inside Wally's mind.
One of the three people was up at midnight that night because in a few minutes he would be thirteen, the age of decommissioning. Wally had stayed up until the other two went to sleep to make his plan go into action and he walked quietly up to Kuki's room and opened the door. She was inside sleeping with millions of soft toys around her, including the five Rainbow Monkeys made to represent the group, which was falling apart. The first one, a red bear with sunglasses, was placed away from the others, as was a dark blue one with a small red hat. Three were in another group, a green one, a light blue one with a pair of goggles on its head and an orange one. In a few hours the orange one will be with the other two. Two of them had been decommissioned and next it was Wally and he had to do one last thing, admit it. Moving around the toys stealthily, the Aussie made it to the Japanese girl and leaned over her. He was about to tell her the thing that he had hidden for four years.
"Kuki, ever since I met you, I thought that you were special. But now I know that you are. I've been hiding this for years and now that I'm leaving, I need to tell you. When that Sandy kid kidnapped you and tried to make you marry him, I was worried the most because I didn't want to lose you. I didn't want to lose you because I love you, Kuki Sanban, I love you" and with that, he heard the clock click, showing that the time was midnight. He was thirteen. With his speech in his mind, he bent down to the girl and kissed her softly on the cheek. The boy left the room, glad that that was off of his chest and didn't realize that the girl who he was talking to, had been awake the entire time.
It was a cold autumn day and the two twelve year old members of Sector V still left walked up to a room with a large 4 on it. Kuki knocked on the door and there was a grunt as Wally, the newly turned thirteen years old, opened the door for them. They stepped inside and saw that all of Wally's stuff was still scattered on the floor.
"Um Numbah 4" asked Hoagie "aren't you supposed to be packing?"
"Nah Hoagie" said Wally, not using the codename, since he was thirteen "because I'm not leaving"
"But… but" stammered Kuki, remembering last night "you have to"
"Not me Kuki" yawned Wally "because I'm fighting my way through the cruddy Decommissioning Squad!"
At that moment, there was a crash as the ship landed outside the tree house and five male members of the Decommissioning Squad walked in, stun guns at the ready.
"HEY YOU!" yelled Wally and the small group looked up at him "yeah you! Let me tell ya! Abby went quietly and so did Nigel but I'm a different picture!"
With that, the blonde slid down the banister of the stairs leading to the lounge and jumped off in a fighting stance. Now Wally was now thirteen and wasn't the short kid any more. He was now a few inches taller than Kuki and he had been training in karate for two years now, meaning that he had reached the second Dan of Black Belt. One boy ran at him but was kicked away by a strong kick to the face, then Wally ran and jumped over another two boys and tripped them after he had landed. Wally then pulled out his two laser swords (A/N: see my other story Brainwashed for more info) and set them to solid mode, knocking the guns out of the remaining two's hands
"YEAH! You tell them Numbah 4!" yelled Hoagie "They've just been decommissioned to Painsville!"
"Come on Wally!" yelled Kuki, tears in her eyes "don't let them boss you around"
Wally put the swords away when ten more boys burst in and started to shoot around rapidly, trying to stun Wally but he was too quick. With a swift maneuver, Wally knocked another two out and proceeded to a third, whom he lifted up by the scruff of the neck and threw him on to a couch in the room. Three went at him at once but two were thrown off and a third was held up and punched in the stomach, sending the boy into a near by wall.
"Your just like Goku!" yelled Hoagie and Wally smirked at him "except your not an alien or anything"
"Go Mega Saying Wally!" yelled Kuki, trying to remember what that TV show was about and Hoagie corrected her "I mean Super Sayin Wally!"
Wally then grabbed two and banged them together so they were also knocked out as the remaining two stood in fear. The teen took a flying kick at them and soon he was wiping his hands on his hoodie, fifteen kids lying on the ground. As the other two were yelling and cheering and Wally was climbing the stairs, thinking he had won, the door burst open again and a red haired demon walked in. Fanny. Numbah 86.
"So Teenager!" spat Fanny "trying to evade capture?"
"No" retorted Wally "by the looks of your squad, capture is trying to evade me!"
Fanny growled at this and pulled out a small communicating device but before she could talk into it, a teddy bear zoomed past her hand and knocked the communicator away from her and Hoagie shot it with some gum pellets.
"No back up for you Numbah 86" laughed Kuki, putting down the T.H.U.M.P.E.R and Hoagie put down the gum shooter. Wally pulled out a sword as Fanny pulled out a S.P.L.A.N.K.E.R, the fight was on. Fanny jumped at the boy but she missed and was hit on the back by the solid blade. Again, Fanny leapt at him but she missed a second time.
"Seems like you can't handle a teenager like me" smirked Wally as Numbah 86 sneered at him.
"No teen has ever gotten away from me," growled Fanny and she jumped at him for a third time.
"And Chad didn't count did he?" taunted Wally and Fanny gulped, she had just been outsmarted by a boy and she left herself open to attack. Both of their weapons were thrown to the side and Wally pulled out his second sword, didn't pull out the laser, but threw it to Hoagie.
"Lets do this the old fashioned way" muttered Wally and they both got ready for the final battle. Wally knocked her to the side as she aimed a punch at him but missed. Fanny then threw a kick at him but Wally did a 'Matrix' and tripped her up as she landed. Fanny kicked at the blonde from the ground but Wally just grabbed her lag and threw her onto an armchair. The Irish girl stood up again but was punched in the stomach by Wally. She got a lucky shot in and elbowed him in the back but the Aussie just shook it off. After being tripped again and thrown back onto the armchair twice more, Fanny pulled out her secret weapon. A small Stun Shooter, a Peashooter that shot the same stuff that was in the stun guns. Wally was surprised and suddenly he was thrown back to a corner and he couldn't feel his legs. He was slowly getting more stunned each second. Kuki and Hoagie ran down the stairs and checked on Wally, whose vision was getting more and more blurred. The blonde saw Kuki and crawled over to her, hugging her around the middle. To everyone's surprise, he started to cry.
"Don't let them take me," sobbed the ex-Numbah 4 "please, I don't want to go"
"It's okay," said Kuki but he sobbed harder.
"Kuki" he muttered, slowly losing consciousness "remember I l…" he let go of the girl and slumped onto the floor. Kuki, although he didn't finish, knew what he was saying and could only watch as Numbah 86 picked him up and carried him to her ship.
"Why?" sobbed the girl as cold eyes met sad ones.
"Because I can" snapped Fanny and climbed into her personal ship.
"WALLY!"
Meanwhile, in room 8B, Abby lead Nigel to her usual seat beside the window and they sat down together just as Lizzie walked in.
"Damn it" muttered Abby as Lizzie found her way over to her ex "what do you want?"
"I'm here to listen to your apology Nigie" said Lizzie "and I'll let you take me back"
"Let Abby handle this," whispered Abby to Nigel but her voice grew louder when she talked to Lizzie "could you leave me and my boyfriend alone"
Nigel choked a bit as Lizzie swelled up more just as the teacher, Ms Mill, a small woman, walked in. Then Lizzie exploded.
"BOYFRIEND!" Ms Mill backed out of the room slowly, as did another few kids "HOW COULD YOU?"
"Good try," said Nigel to the African American as Lizzie raved on some more.
"WE'VE BEEN APART FOR FIVE MINUTES AND YOU ALREADY HAVE ANOTHER GIRLFRIEND! THAT'S IT NIGEL! I NEVER WANT TO SEE YOU AGAIN!" and Lizzie ran out of the classroom, sobbing.
"Thanks Abby" said the English boy "that was a good idea"
"Yeah" said Abby a bit shyer than usual, "but do you want to?"
"To what?"
"Become boyfriend and girlfriend"
Nigel was stunned for a moment but then replied by kissing her on the cheek.
"Abby will take that as a yes"
While Abby and Nigel were in Home Ec, Wally was still having visions on the floor in the corridor.
Wally woke up in a small ship with a red haired girl at the controls. He saw the girl and tried to leap at her but fond that he was bound to a chair by big leather straps.
"So that proves that girls are better than boys teenager!"
"What do you have against boys?" growled the teen "what happened?"
"I'll tell you something that is me darkest secret" said Fanny and her voice didn't sound as cruel "when I was younger and just joining the KND, I met this boy. He was cute, smart and talented and most of all he asked me out. I accepted and he said to meet me at the candy store, which I did at the time we were to meet at. That time came and gone and the next day when I saw him, he was walking with another girl and they kissed. That got me so mad that I decommissioned that kid and it made me hate all boys forever. That's why I hate boys Wally"
"Yeah well that doesn't mean… hey did you just call me Wally?"
"Yes"
"Numbah 86 calling a boy by his first name?" asked Wally mockingly "is she going soft?"
"Shut up!" snapped the girl "I did that for a reason you idiot!"
"Why then?"
"'Cause I have a crush on you!"
"WHAT?"
Fanny turned from the controls, put them on autopilot and walked over to the Aussie, "I have a crush on you Numbah 4! I told you so when you were decommissioned last time but I erased that memory from you when I gave you your memories back but now I have a proposition for you"
"I don't like where this is going"
"I won't decommission you if you become my boyfriend" said Fanny and Wally burst out laughing.
"NO WAY!" laughed the boy as he tried to get free.
"Do it Wally," said Fanny and she glared at him "become me boyfriend"
"Not likely"
"Think about it Wally, we could escape decommissioning, together! We could be free of all of the kids and adults and stupid, stupid boys. We could be happy" then she Fanny grabbed his cheeks and pulled him into a deep kiss. At the end of it, she let go of him and he spat and tried to wipe his mouth
"Are you insane?" yelled the boy and she backed away from him "I'll never go out with you! I like someone else"
"WHO?"
"I like… no LOVE Kuki Sanban! Numbah 3! I will never love anyone more than her!"
Fanny took several deep breaths and then said, "So, you love her"
"YEAH!"
"Well then you'll never remember her!" screamed Fanny "NEVER!"
Later, the red haired girl dragged Wally through the Moon Base to be decommissioned. He was shoved into a room with a few stools and some plungers attached to some machines. He was thrown onto a stool and was instantly stuck by some weird force. The machines were started and a plunger was creeping closer to the Aussie's face.
"Any last words heartbreaker?" asked a smirking Fanny as the boy was about to get decommissioned.
"Yeah" said Wally trying to get free "don't wait up"
The plunger hit his face and he yelled as his memories of the KND, the tree house, his friends and Kuki were sucked out of his mind and the next thing he knew, he was lying in bed, ready for his first day of high school.
Wally's eyes jerked open and he realized he was on the floor with a confused Hoagie beside him. He got up as Kuki put a comforting arm around him. Then he remembered something and anger flared up inside of him.
"Traitors! He yelled pointing at Hoagie and Kuki "we agreed that we would give each other a note or something to remember us by! But you didn't give me one!"
Wally pushed his friends to one side and sprinted down the corridor as Hoagie muttered "but we did give you a note"
Hoagie and Kuki started to walk after their friend as Fanny whispered to herself "this memory re-writer really does work to my advantage"
Ten minutes later, the bell went for end of period and Abby walked out with her new boyfriend, swearing to herself that she wouldn't turn out like Lizzie. They were talking about stuff and their pasts when a kid in orange barged into them, sending them all to the ground.
"What are y'all thinking, running like that into Abigail?" cried the girl and the kid in orange shook his hair out of his eyes and looked up at his friend.
"Sorry" said Wally, sounding like he didn't mean it.
"What's got you so worked up?" asked Nigel and Wally just shook him off.
"Those traitors" muttered Wally and started to walk to his locker "what's that combination… oh yeah… 34, 15, 26"
Wally pulled out his bag, got the books and a small piece of paper fell out of one of them. He picked up the piece of paper then looked at the book.
"Rainbow Joy… what the?"
He opened it and looked at the inside of the cover, where someone had written a message. The Aussie read it to himself, "Dear Wally, this should hopefully make you understand Rainbow Monkeys better. Hope you have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Millennium, Kuki"
He chuckled to himself but then realized that the last millennium was four years ago, the year of his decommissioning. Then he opened the piece of paper.
Dear Wally
Don't forget us and don't forget Nigel and Abby. Hopefully we will see you in a few weeks
Kuki and Hoagie
"They did give me a note" said Wally and threw his books into the locker, slammed it shut and ran back down the corridor to find his four friends. He spotted them in a corner and walked over. Hoagie saw him but turned away so he was facing his back.
"Guys" started Wally but Kuki turned to him, an angry look on her face.
"Why do you want to hang around with us, we're traitors remember! I'm so mad, like the time you destroyed Mr. Huggykins!"
"Wait! I remember that too! You were annoying us and when you weren't there I tried to see what good he was so I kicked him, the head came off and I accidentally put him on the C.A.T.A.P.L.U.N.K!" said Wally "and I've realized that you aren't traitors, you guys are my best friends"
"Well Abby and Nigel forgive ya," said Abby and the boy beside her nodded.
"So do I" said Hoagie and he clapped Wally on the shoulders
"Well, do you Kuki?" asked Wally hopefully and received a hug in return.
"Of course silly!"
"You haven't called him that in years!" said Hoagie "and Abby, why did you speak for Nigel too?"
"Well… I was just… I mean. We" stammered Abby and everyone but Nigel laughed.
"Nigel and Abby sitting in a tree K I S S I N G" chorused their friends as they blushed heavily.
"Don't worry, it's okay" laughed Hoagie "now we need to wait for Wally to do the same!"
Everyone stopped laughing and stared at Hoagie, who also had a confused look on his face.
"I dunno why I said that" muttered Hoagie as the bell went for next period, "what do you guys have?"
"Well Abby and Wally have IC," said Abby and Wally nodded "Kuki girl, what do you have?"
"I got IC too," she said and they all stared at Nigel and Hoagie.
"English" they both said at the same time and they both grinned.
"But sadly, since Lizzie and I used to be dating, she has the same class as me" commented Nigel and they all gave him sorry looks.
"But now for some reason, you still aren't single" grinned Wally and Abby groaned, "Why would that be Abby?"
"Well you all know that we all knew each other when we were kids so if Nigel and Abby are together it's only extending what once was when we all were little" stated Abby and then she glared at Wally "and if you say something like that again, Abby will force feed you Nigel's cooking!"
"And believe me, you don't want that!" said Nigel and they all laughed again.
"Right see you guys at lunch" chuckled Hoagie as they walked away to their class "good luck with the computers"
"I'll tell you the same thing" said Wally darkly "just without the computers"
In the computer room, the three friends got a seat in front of a computer each and stared at the teacher. The teacher, Mr. Macmac, was pointing out how to create their own website (A/N: I don't know what they do in year 11 at high school so I'm just making it up, bear with me please) when Wally yawned and fell back over his chair. Everyone laughed, especially Abby, Kuki and Wally as Mr. Macmac walked over with an angry look on his face.
"Right you three" he said as he pulled Wally up by his ear "separate! NOW!"
Kuki stayed at her computer as the other two found other ones on the other side of the room to each other. Mr. Macmac finished his talk and they all started on making a website for the school as Wally had an idea.
"I better not get caught" he muttered to himself as he accessed the mainframe of the computer room. There, he switched off all of the speakers and then brought up the MSN program. Logging in, he knew that they wouldn't be online so he glanced at Abby, who saw him. The two of them got into trouble a bit in this class so they made certain glances for certain things. He stared straight at her and nodded twice, meaning 'go on MSN', then Wally quickly sent Kuki a short e-mail and soon both girls were online.

OrangeRocker4 has left the conversation
RedLeprechaun86: damn it! Almost had him
RedLeprechaun86 has left the conversation
Wally closed down the window for the conversation and looked around. Sure enough, there was a girl with red curly hair who he recognized as Fanny. She said something about codenames and Abby said something about their pasts.
"Man this is too confusing" said Wally quietly, not noticing that Mr. Macmac was behind him.
"You mean you are seventeen and you can't remember how to set up your own website on the school you are currently in!"
"What?" asked Wally, thinking that he was thinking that until his teacher tapped him on the shoulder, "oh! No, I wasn't talking about the website I was thinking about something else"
A few girls giggled as Wally felt his cheeks go red and he saw that Mr. Macmac was very angry.
"You mean to tell me that you can't keep your mind on a very simple task!"
"No, no sir" stammered Wally "it's just that I…"
Just then the door burst open and a teacher came in.
"Phone call for Mr. Wallabee Beatles, Ms. Kuki Sanban and Ms. Abigail Lincoln"" said the teacher and Wally breathed a sigh of relief as the three of them stood up and went to the phone. Abby put it to her ear.
"Um… Abby speaking"
"Hello teenager!" came the voice of Numbah 234 and Abby gasped "we meet again"
"Well we aren't meeting, you're just talking to me on the phone Numbah 234" Abby pointed out and they all heard a growl from the phone. Then Abby pressed speaker phone so they all could heard her.
"THAT'S NOT THE POINT!" yelled the small girl "the point is you know too much! We placed tracking devices on you that scans your brain for information about the KND"
"Bet you that Hoagie made them!" said Wally gleefully as Kuki giggled "who's on?"
"So because of that, we must erase your memories before you pass the information onto Father!"
"Father?" asked Kuki.
"And the Delightful Children" muttered Abby as Wally spoke to Numbah 234.
"Look! We've just met, figured a few things about our past and now you want to take us to some room with stools and plungers and a weird girl with red curly hair…"
"Fanny" growled Kuki quietly as Wally rambled on.
"… so we willingly let you suck a part of our brains out and we stagger around not knowing who the others are! THAT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN YA CRUDDY KID!"
"You don't like Numbah 234 do you?" said Abby staring at him with half moon eyes.
"Darn straight!" said Wally and he listened for Numbah 234's reply. It didn't come from the phone however.
"I think it will happen Wallabee Beatles" said Numbah 234 and they all turned round to look at the girl standing in the doorway.
"I'm sorry you have the wrong number" said Wally and he hung up the already silent phone, "how did you get here?"
"I was here all the time" said Numbah 234 knowingly "ever heard of a mobile phone?"
"Your ten and you have one!" exclaimed Abby.
"I'm eleven and I stole this one from an enemy teenager!" said Numbah 234. She walked towards the trio and they walked back which was into a wall. The girl then pulled out a small pipe, like the one in Mushi's room, and spoke into it.
"Hoagie's work!" yelled Wally again and Kuki couldn't help but giggle.
Suddenly, a group of kids, the ones that chased them out of the Moon Base, came in through the door holding Nigel and Hoagie's arms behind their backs, police style. Numbah 234 then led them all out into the lawn, which luckily wasn't being used, to a small ship.
"Now we will fly you to the Moon Base where tomorrow you will wake up and not remember me or anyone else here, including your friends!"
"Not likely!" said Nigel, breaking out of his captor's grip "Kids Next Door! Battle Stations!"
Forty minutes ago (A/N: sorry if this confuses you but you need to know what happens in Nigel and Hoagie's class)
Nigel and Hoagie sat down just as their teacher, Mrs. Avel, walked in. They were going to be writing poems or songs on something that had happened to them recently and if there was time, some would be read out. Hoagie chose to write about when he met Wally, Kuki and Abby while Nigel wrote about him getting together with Abby.
"You burst into the room, one boy two girls. And your hair was not in curls?" muttered Hoagie, thinking of what to write while Nigel sped away at the page. On the other side of the room, Lizzie scribbled away furiously. Ten minutes passed and Nigel had written half a page with Hoagie thought of a finishing sentence for the first eight line verse.
"And then I saw the boy on the bed? Yes that's it! Stuff went on inside my head, and then I saw the boy in bed!"
"Keep it down Hoagie!" whispered Nigel and Hoagie put his hands over his mouth, grinning sheepishly.
Twenty minutes later, the class stopped writing and whispering and looked at the teacher, who asked who would like to share their poems. Nigel, Lizzie and another boy was chosen. The boy went first and recited a poem about a dream he had about him and a giant pickle and at the end, everyone was laughing.
"Bet he gets top marks!" thought Nigel as he got ready to read his poem, "More Than Just A Friend" he told the class before he began.
Just three days ago, I never thought
I'd be meeting you again.
But now that I have seen you
I don't know what was when.
Although we didn't get off right
Soon we would see
That even through our differences
We would find company.
A red hat upon your head
Gold rings in your ear.
A blue T-shirt and some brown hair
I know you are my dear.
Years ago we would fight
A yell at one another
But we would always make up
Sometimes thanks to my mother
You and I both know
That the road a head is rough
But to claim back our memories
Will be extremely tough
But even though those years are gone
Those years are at an end
I have just discovered
That your more than just a friend
Nigel finished reading and found that the class was clapping, the teacher even had tears in her eyes.
"Top marks for me too!" though Nigel as he sat down beside his friend, who was almost in tears too.
"Man, I didn't know you could write like that" said Hoagie and Nigel just grinned at him. Lizzie was to read next and by the way she was staring at Nigel, the poem couldn't be good for him.
"Heartbreaker" said Lizzie and Nigel gulped, "and it's a song" a few people gasped "but I'll just talk it"
"What a relief" said Hoagie and Lizzie began to speak.
We met so many years ago
But not by a weird matchmaker
I used to think you were brilliant
But now your just a heartbreaker
When you went away before
And came back not knowing me
In a few days you remembered
Therefore it must have been destiny
Heartbreaker!
Your nothing but a…
Heartbreaker!
Heartbreaker!
You used to be mine
Until we had that fight
Minutes later you
Had a new delight
Heartbreaker!
We've survived more than just
Someone showing up
But you just threw me aside
When someone said 'Whassup?"
When she showed up it
Nearly made me burst
But now you gone with her and
Left me face down in the dirt
Heartbreaker!
Your nothing but a…
Heartbreaker!
Heartbreaker!
You used to be mine
Until we had that fight
Minutes later you
Had a new delight
Heartbreaker!
Now you've gone
It's too late
I can move on
I've cleaned my slate
Now you've gone
It's too late
I can move on
I've cleaned my slate
Heartbreaker!
Your nothing but a…
Heartbreaker!
Heartbreaker!
You used to be mine
Until we had that fight
Minutes later you
Had a new delight
Heartbreaker
Heartbreaker!
Your nothing but a…
Heartbreaker!
Heartbreaker!
You used to be mine
Until we had that fight
Minutes later you
Had a new delight
Heartbreaker!
After that recital, there was no tears, no laughter, no applause. There was just silence. When no one said anything, Lizzie said some more.
"That song is dedicated to my ex-boyfriend, Nigel Uno who shall never remember who he was!"
"Um… thank you Lizzie for that interesting piece but now…" started Mrs. Avel but she was cut off by someone knocking on the classroom door. The teacher answered it and found three small kids, all about ten years old.
"Um… we're looking for Nigel Uno and Hoagie Gilligan Jr." said one of the kids, nervously as one of the kids behind him shot dark looks at Mrs. Avel.
"Okay, Nigel, Hoagie off you go and since it's almost lunch time, you don't have to come back to the classroom after your done" said Mrs. Avel and the two boys walked out of the room but not before handing Mrs. Avel their poems.
"Okay Kids Next Door members" said Nigel "what do you want?"
"How do you know we're in the KND?" asked the kid that was shooting their teacher dark looks.
"One, you're the only ten years olds that I know that would be looking for us, two you" he pointed at the kids that asked him "were shooting dark looks at Mrs. Avel and the KND hates adults and three, you all have small badges on your shirt"
"Damn it, I knew we shouldn't have worn them!" said the kid and they came to a corner where a few more kids jumped on them. Then they grabbed the teen's hands behind their back and led them to one of the offices. The one in front pushed the door open and they saw Wally, Kuki and Abby cornered by Numbah 234. Then they were shoved out of the building and to the lawn, where they saw a small ship.
"Now we will fly you to the Moon Base where tomorrow you will wake up and not remember me or anyone else here, including your friends!"
"Not likely!" said Nigel, breaking out of his captor's grip "Kids Next Door! Battle Stations!"
Nigel ran over and tripped the kids holding Wally who got free and saved Kuki and Hoagie. Nigel then ran over and saved Abby who tripped another kid running towards them. More kids ran out of the ship and jumped onto Hoagie, who was saved by Wally and Kuki. As Wally tried to knock the kids out, Kuki was prancing around like she used to, avoiding the attacks and Hoagie looked at the ship that was in front of them.
"Hey guys! That's the ship that we stole from 'Half Pint'!" exclaimed Hoagie as Nigel and Abby fought back to back beside him.
"My sister has a name and it's Mushi!" said Kuki and that gave a kid enough time to hit her with a S.P.L.AN.K.E.R.
"Kuki!" yelled Wally and he dived at the kid and tackled him to the ground "don't do that again!"
"If this is the same ship, then those swords that Wally left in there last time might still be there" muttered Hoagie and he stealthily crept into the ship. Inside were discarded comics, a few 'Yipper' cards, lots of candy wrappers and… the swords!
"Hey Wally! Catch!"
The Australian boy looked up just in time to see a thin silver pole flying towards him. He activated it and jumped at a few kids, who scattered.
"Abby, you too!"
Abby then jumped into the air, caught the second sword and rushed to help Wally fend of a couple of kids armed with S.P.L.A.N.K.E.Rs.
"Hey remember when we were little and we used to do this kind of thing with sticks?" asked Wally and Abby grinned.
"Abby remembers. That was before we joined the KND"
Now that they were armed with swords, the teens defeated the kids and they stood together in the lawn as the ship flew up into the air, piloted by Numbah 234.
"Man, that was easy!" said Wally and he turned to go to lunch.
"Wait up Wally!" called Kuki "you were so brave out there, taking on all of those kids like that! Were you hurt?"
Wally blushed as Abby, Nigel and Hoagie burst out laughing. Kuki, although older, still didn't know what was going on and just smiled at everyone, but mostly at Wally, making them laugh harder.
"Man, just like old times" laughed Hoagie and they followed the two back to the lunch hall.
After school had finished, they decided to skip the meeting, considering they got to talk a lot at lunch time so they all went home, Hoagie and Nigel one way and the other three another way. They stopped at Kuki's home first and when they were saying bye, Kuki gave Wally another hug, but this was a different hug to all of the other hugs that she had given to him in the past, Wally noted as he pried her arms off around his neck. She waved again as they walked away and went into her house.
"Don't you say a word" said Wally as Abby burst out into laughter, "but isn't it a bit weird how we're the best of friends but we spend most of our time playing pranks on the other one and getting the other one back for pranks and stuff that they did!"
"I guess it is" said Abby "here's your house. See ya"
Wally walked up to the door and got out his key, hoping that she wouldn't call back when, "and don't forget that you were so brave at taking on those little kids!"
Wally hit his head on the door and it swung open, causing him to fall onto the floor, "man, this door's locked when you want it open and open when you want it locked!"
Wally then walked up to his room and opened his bag, ready to do his homework.
Meanwhile, in the mansion at the other end of the city, two girls walked up to the door and knocked three times. It opened and five voices said "good, you've arrived"
The two girls entered and the door was shut, just as a light came on over a table. The people who answered the door were standing in darkness, only their eyes could be seen and the girls sat down at the table.
"Look" said a girl in an Irish accent "I just want to make yer plan and get me Wally, okay? So lets make this quick"
"Of course Francine" said the voices again "this won't take long"
"All I want to do is get that witch Abigail!" said the other girl and she pounded the table.
"All in due time Elizabeth (A/N: Lizzie is a shortened version of Elizabeth) but first we need to introduce to one who will make this plan work. Come in"
Another door was opened and a fourteen year old boy walked into the room, something on his head, sandy colored hair and an evil grin.
"Worry not maiden. For your king is here to claim his queen!"
