_
Rocky was almost afraid that she was being kidnapped as the two strange boys in costumes took her away. She thought about reaching for her weapon and blasting them both with mustard. Yet something was telling her there was nothing to worry about...
Before she knew it, her hand slid down and entwined itself with Fanboy's as they crossed the street. Rocky didn't know why she did such a thing. But looking at Fanboy and seeing how happy and excited he was...She was glad she did that. She didn't do the same for Chum Chum, however, but she did let him clung to her arm.
"Wow," Fanboy said as he observed his gloved hand holding hers, "you really take safety seriously. Always hold hands whenever crossing the street!"
"Yeah," Rocky said with a small smile, "safety first."
Thankfully Fanboy didn't notice that she still hadn't let go of his hand even after they crossed the street. Rocky had decided to let her guard down; she could trust these two.
"So..." She began lightly. "What do you guys do for fun?"
"Oh, us?" Fanboy laughed. "We do anything for fun!"
"Like last week when we helped the mole people dig an underwater tavern to the beach!" Chum Chum chirped.
"Okay..." Rocky said uneasily. "What's the best place to eat here?"
"Oh, only the greatest haven of surplus food known to man!" Fanboy exclaimed as he and Chum Chum half-dragged her quickly toward their destination.
They halted and Rocky found herself standing in front of a large convenience store.
"Welcome..." Fanboy said dramatically as he draped an arm around her shoulders and motioned a hand to the store. "...to the Frosty Mart!"
Rocky blinked as she looked at the store and all it's glory. It seemed pretty decent, and places like these always give good treats. She was dying for some hot dogs or maybe even some nachos...
"Come on!" Fanboy said before he pulled her hand as they passed through the sliding glass doors. "You got to try the frosty freezes!"
Rocky smiled as she allowed him and Chum Chum to take her away. She expected to be greeted with the coolness of the air-conditioner and the variety of junk foods and treats beyond a child's dreams.
What she saw made her turn white.
"Keep firing!" Numbuh 5 shouted as she and the rest of Sector V aimed their weapons at someone who stood behind the cash register and shielded himself with a tray.
"You mangy kids!" The voice of a teenager shouted as he tried blocking off their attacks.
"Wow..." Fanboy and Chum Chum observed. "Talk about dissatisfied customers."
"Oh, wow, could they get any stupider..." Rocky muttered to herself, pinching the ridge between her eyes in distress.
"You know those kids?" Chum Chum asked.
"Yeah," she sighed. "They're Sector V of the Kids Next Door. They called me up to accompany them-"
"Kids Next what?" Fanboy asked in confusion.
Rocky sighed before she dug into her dress and took out her weapon. "I'll explain later. Right now I got to save some teenager's life...something KND doesn't usually approve of." And with a battlecry, she lunged toward the scene.
"Wow..." Fanboy sighed as he watched her take on the action. "She must be an actual superhero..."
Rocky knew she could get in serious trouble for fighting her own friends and fellow KND operatives, so she pressed a switch on her weapon. Long tentacles of rubber emerged from it and lunged at each of the members of Sector V, grabbing each by the back of their collar.
"What the-?" Numbuh 5 exclaimed. Thankfully, Rocky was hidden behind a stock of food so none of Sector V would see that she was taking on them for the sake of some teen.
"Whee!" Numbuh 3 laughed as the tentacle that grabbed her flew her around in the air. "I'm riding!"
"Sorry, guys..." Rocky muttered to herself before she pressed another button on her weapon.
In one swift movement, Sector V was tossed out the door.
Rocky smiled to herself before she pocketed her weapon and strolled over to Fanboy and Chum Chum, who gazed at her with jaws dropped.
"That...was...awesome!" Fanboy cried. "It was like watching an action movie for free!"
Rocky blushed.
"Frosty freeze?" Fanboy asked as he offered her a slightly large beverage containing some frozen pink liquid. "I thought you'd prefer pink because you're wearing it."
Rocky smiled as she twirled in her pink dress. "How thoughtful." Then she remembered the teen as she looked over the counter to see he was gone. "Is-?"
"Oh, Lenny?" Fanboy chuckled. "He'll live! He's gone through worse!"
"I think he's having another stress twitch!" Chum Chum added.
"Oh..." Numbuh 4 groaned as he placed a hand on his head. He and his team had been attacking some lame teen behind the cash register on account of being a jerk to children and they next thing he knew, he had been grabbed from behind and thrown out of the store. Now here and his team were lying on the ground...
"I think that teenager had a secret weapon!" Numbuh 2 exclaimed.
"He's a dork," Numbuh 5 muttered, "but looks can be decieving."
They all slowly got to their feet before turning to see Rocky and her new friends emerge from the Frosty Mart, happily drinking frosty freezes. Numbuh 4's frustration died down once he saw the pretty face of Rocky once again...much to Numbuh 3's chagrin.
"This is so delicious!" Rocky exclaimed to Fanboy. "Thanks!"
"Oh, no problem," Fanboy laughed, "I call it the Frosty Mart special treatment!"
"Hey, Rocky!" Numbuh 4 greeted, waving a hand at her. But Rocky didn't even notice him, she didn't notice anyone.
All she was focused on was Fanboy...she just couldn't keep her eyes off him as that charming smile her friends new so well formed on her lips.
Fanboy apparently noticed she kept staring at him and he felt a bit nervous under her gaze. "Uh, do I have something in my teeth?"
"You're teeth are perfect, I assure you," Rocky told him. True, he had teeth like a squirrel, but, like Numbuh 363's, they were cute!
"Then what?" Fanboy asked in confusion. "Am I showing a zit?"
Rocky ignored the question and leaned toward him. "Did I ever mention that besides pink, purple is also my favorite color?"
"It is?" Fanboy asked, not getting her hint.
Finally, to Numbuh 4's horror, it happened.
Rocky leaned up and planted a warm kiss on Fanboy's cheek.
"Oh, wuh..." Fanboy's voice trailed off as the kiss took over his mind and his whole body began to tingle.
Numbuh 4 wanted to shout! He wanted to break something! Instead, he just stood there and bared his teeth while tightening his fists as he watched Rocky kiss the weird boy in purple. He didn't notice Numbuh 3 standing behind him with a smirk on her face...
Finally, Rocky broke away and smiled at the dazed Fanboy.
"Wow..." Fanboy murmured as he came back to reality. "Are you a wizard? Because I think I was kissed by magic!"
"Oh, lame!" Numbuh 2 exclaimed. "I could come up with something better than that!"
Finally, Rocky noticed Sector V staring at her. "Oh, hey, guys," she greeted. "Don't worry about Le-I mean the teen. He's been taking care of."
"So we're done here?" Numbuh 2 asked. "Finally, let's go home and have some soda to celebrate!"
"Let's go, Numbuh 2-Double-o-2," Numbuh 5 said.
Rocky glanced over at Fanboy and Chum Chum. Though Sector V's mission was over...hers was just beginning.
"You guys go ahead," she told them finally, "I'm going to stay here a little longer."
"Say what?" Numbuh 4 cried. "You're not seriously going to stay with those two weirdos, are you?"
"Well, they may be weird," Rocky chuckled as she glanced over at Fanboy, "but their cuteness makes up for it."
Fanboy blushed, tints of red shone through his purple mask.
"Oh, you can't be serious!" Numbuh 4 cried. But Numbuh 5 and Numbuh 3 dragged him off before he could say anything else, leaving Rocky as she wished.
"Awesome, you're staying!" Fanboy exclaimed as he and Chum Chum high-fived. "We should get another frosty freeze to celebrate and-"
Before he could say anything, they heard a whooping noise in the distance. Rocky braced herself in a fighting position, wondering what the noise was. Was that music?
Turning around the corner, there came a bulky teen with dirty blonde hair and a Frosty Mart uniform. He wore headphones that were obviously turned at full blast.
"Out of the way!" He shouted as he shoved Rocky aside as he made his way into the Frosty Mart.
"Hey, that was rude!" Rocky shouted as she brushed herself. "Who was that?"
"Oh, him? That's just Boog." Fanboy sighed. "His manners are worse than his bops."
"Oh, I'll teach him some manners..." Rocky growled before she tightened her fists. She was about to go in when Fanboy and Chum Chum pulled her back. "What?"
"Well, we thought before you go in get bopped by Boog while we buy us some frosty freezes," Fanboy said, "I thought we'd do the Money Dance!"
"Money dance?" Rocky repeated.
"Hit it, Chum Chum!" Fanboy told the little boy as he took Rocky's hand and pulled her close to him. "Shake you hips to the side!"
"My hips to the side..." Rocky observed as she duplicated his exact moves.
"Now twist like a pretzel!" Chum Chum added.
"Twist like a pretzel!" Rocky laughed. "Oh, this is fun!"
"Wave your hands in the air like you just don't care!" Fanboy shouted as he and the others raised their hands up and waved like crazy people.
"And what's that in your hair?" Chum Chum sang.
Before she did anything, Fanboy's fingers dug into her hair and pulled out a dollar. "One dollar!"
Snap!
As soon as Fanboy removed the dollar from her hair, the rubber band that held her ponytail in place suddenly broke. Her sleek black hair fell down to her waist like a graceful waterfall.
"Oops..." Fanboy squeaked. "My bad..."
But Rocky laughed. "Oh, no, it's okay! It's about time I let my hair down!" And she flipped a few strands of hair off her shoulder and smiled that smile that Fanboy and Chum Chum found so charming.
"W-wow..." Fanboy muttered. "You got really nice hair."
"Thanks," Rocky laughed. She shifted her eyes to her pink headband before slowly removing it and handing it to Fanboy. "Hold this." Then she smoothed her scalp before she glared over at the Frosty Mart. Okay, fun's over. Time to teach someone a lesson."
"Yay! Lesson!" Chum Chum cheered before they followed Rocky back into the store.
Rocky scanned her surroundings before she spotted the teen named Boog playing an arcade game at a nearby corner. She barely noticed Lenny, whom seemed to be leaning his head behind the register in boredom. Rocky flipped her hair once more, than marched over to Boog.
"Excuse me."
Boog reluctantly turned from his game until he glanced down to see Rocky with her hands on her hips. "Hey, you're that twerp I pushed outside!"
"And pushing it very rude!" Rocky exclaimed. "I think you owe me an apology!"
Boog raised an eyebrow. Then a devil of a smirk crawled on his face.
"Oh, it was nice knowing you, Rocky..." Fanboy, who wore her headband around his head, gulped as he and Chum Chum watched in fear.
"Rocky, huh?" Boog chuckled. "That's a nice name...considering that's the way I'm going to bop ya!"
And he raised a fist and attempted to bring it down on her head...
But Rocky caught his hand before it could touch a strand of hair.
Lenny, who had just saw the unbelievable, became more alert as he witnessed the action before him.
Rocky, with a scary, serious look on her face, tightened her grip on his hand. For such a young girl, her strength was incredible as Boog groaned in agony, unable to feel his hand. Finally, Rocky pushed his hand away and reached up and grabbed him by the collar. She dragged his face toward hers.
"Just so we can be clear..." She whispered in a quiet but very threatening voice. "I'm not called Rocky for nothing."
Boog was afraid to ask why as sweat trickled down his forehead.
"YOU GOT THAT, BOOGER?" Rocky told him in a screaming, demanding voice.
"Y-yes, ma'am..." Boog whimpered.
"Good!" Rocky said happily, dropping her scary mode before pushing him back. "Now that that's settled...come on, guys! I'm in for some serious snacking!"
Boog, still frightened, stood exactly where he was as Rocky searched throughout the store. Lenny was trying his hardest not to laugh.
"Hi, Lenny," Rocky greeted with a flirty smile before slipping her hair. Finally coming face-to-face with Lenny, Rocky thought she was in love.
Lenny was cute!
Dark-skinned, afro hair, and the glasses! There was something about a person in glasses that made Rocky's heart skip. Like that Harold guy from Total Drama Island...
"Oh," Lenny realized as he took a good look at Rocky, "you're that one kid that didn't attack us."
Rocky blushed. "I apologize for that. See, I'm probably the only one with any real common sense right now. But I assure you, my friends have been taken care of."
"Good to know," Lenny smiled before Rocky walked off to find treats.
After about ten minutes, Rocky placed dozens of treats on the counter that was taking much of its space. And she was still looking for more. Finally, after probably finding the last hundred or more snacks, she was ready to pay.
"Are you sure you can pay for this?" Lenny asked before checking his register.
"I have a card," Rocky told him before handing him a sleek credit card.
"Ooohhh..." Fanboy and Chum Chum said in awe. "Credit card..."
Lenny looked at the card in disbelief. "What ten-year-old-"
"I'm nine," Rocky corrected him.
"Nine-year-old," Lenny said, "owns a credit card?"
"Uh, the rich kind?" Rocky said with a smirk. "My siblings each have one."
Finally, after he slid the card through the slot and Fanboy and Chum Chum offered to hold her bags for her, Rocky was about to leave.
Until she eyed the game Boog was playing.
"What's Chimp Chop?" She asked curiously.
"Oh, just a game Boog likes to play instead of work," Fanboy answered as he pointed to Boog, "he doesn't let anyone touch his game."
Rocky casted a glance to Boog, who trembled at her gaze. She smirked before she took out a coin purse and took out a quarter.
"Well, it's never too late for a change..." She said in a soft and, almost seductive, calming voice. "You don't mind, do you, Boog?"
"N-no..." Boog said carefully. He loved Chimp Chomp very much! But if he wanted to keep his butt from getting kicked, so let the brat play his game! She probably won't beat his score anyway!
Five minutes later...
"Yay!" Fanboy and Chum Chum cheered as Rocky typed in her name after making the new highscore.
"NOOOO!"Boog cried out as he watched his name go down in second place. Nobody has ever beaten his high score!
But Rocky was not 'nobody'.
Lenny chuckled to himself, watching Boog suffer and seeing the bright, charming smile on Rocky's face. He could barely stop his giggles when Fanboy wrapped an arm around her shoulders in congrats...or perhaps more.
"Great job, Rocky," Lenny told her.
"You're doing a great job yourself...handsome." She winked at him.
Lenny was blushing like mad. It was amazing how charm could just come from anyone, especially a little girl.
"Here's a tip," Rocky said before she slipped a few quarters into the jar on the counter, "and here's your tip." And she gave him a bill.
A fifty-dollar bill!
"Really?" He exclaimed as he observed the money in his hands.
"You're a very hard-working man," Rocky told him sincerely, "and you always get the job done. It's the least I can do..."
And with one final wave, she and Fanboy and Chum Chum left the store.
Lenny couldn't believe he was actually smiling as he watched her leave. "You know, for ten seconds...I think I was in love with a nine-year-old!"
Boog didn't even turn from his game, gazing at Rocky's name placed on the leading highscore page. "For ten seconds I thought I was dead."
"You were going to be!" Lenny laughed. "You so got whipped by a little girl!"
Boog tightened his fists at the statement. "No girly, game-winning brat is getting me whipped!" And with that said he marched out of the store.
