-1Author's Note: You've no idea of how hard it was not to write a sex scene in the last chapter. Oh, the temptation. But this is a T-rated fanfic, so I couldn't do it anyways. Oh well. When I get around to torturing Wally and Kuki (because I just can't play nice with these characters. My 'fics suck when I play nice) it will be an M rated fic. Oh, the shippers will kill me. And here I drop more hints about my second favorite coupling. Read on, but be warned….I'm starting to apparently grow soft. Too much sweetness…I'll have to fix that.

A single ray of light was enough to rouse Hoagie from his sleep. He stretched his arms out, and tried to get up, but noticed an unfamiliar weight on his stomach. Fanny was resting her head there. He smiled, and gently shook her awake.

"Huh?" She said groggily, glancing at her alarm clock. "Shit! I forgot tah set the alarm."

Hoagie followed her gaze and matched her curse. "We just missed our first two periods," he said, wondering what his mother could be thinking right now. He had not gone home last night, and now he was waking up with a girl in his arms. At least they were both clothed, though Hoagie found himself thinking about the alternative. "Well, we should probably get our asses back to school…"

"No."

"What?" They were both sitting up now, and Hoagie stared at Fanny incredulously. "We can't just ditch out on school, Fanny. We'll get busted for truancy." Fanny stared back at him, her eyebrows raised.

"What, don't tell me yer afraid a' getting busted. Let's just spend the day together. One day off won't kill us."

"Oh, all right," Hoagie caved, "But we can't exactly leave the house. I mean, there are plenty of adults who'd bust us for it, right?"

Fanny rolled her eyes. "Yer such an idiot sometimes. I'm still with the adults. They don't care where tha teens on their side go. They don't turn us in. And fer the most part, they don't care where teens go. It's mainly kids they wanna keep in school."

"Oh."

"Your teammates will never notice. They'll jus' think ya got sick," Fanny pushed. Hoagie smiled.

"All right, all right. What they don't know won't hurt me."

By the time lunch rolled around, Rachel was starting to get suspicious. Something just didn't feel right. Hoagie was supposed to give her the reports of the mind tap today. And however did he manage to get ahold of the new prototype for the BRAs? She tapped her spoon against her plate as she thought.

"What's on your mind, Rachel?" Abby asked as she took her seat across from her. She opened her lunch box up and popped a few of the caramels into her mouth, as she always did.

"Nothing," Rachel answered, annoyed at her own paranoia. "How the heck can you stand that much sugar?" She asked, quickly shifting gears. "Caramel is way too sweet, and you eat it everyday."

"It reminds Numbuh 5 of someone," Abby said distantly. "But that's not the point. I'm guessing you noticed who else was absent today?"

"What?" Rachel frowned. Hoagie was the only absence she had noticed. She glanced around. Kuki, Wally, and Virginia are at that table..Bartie and Patton are still getting their lunch…Abby's with me, and Nigel's with Lizzie. So that's everybody…

"Not a TND agent," Abby said, reading Rachel's mind. "Well..she shoulda been. Too bad about that, but what can you do?" She shrugged, then looked thoughtful for a moment. "Numbuh 5 guesses it's probably nothing, but it's kinda funny that Hoagie and Fanny didn't show up today. But they couldn't be together…"

"Together in which sense?" Rachel asked slowly.

"Either one," Abby said, glancing around. "It could be just a coincidence, but Numbuh 5 couldn't help but notice it…" Rachel went against her instincts and decided not to tell Abby that Hoagie was supposed to be spying on Fanny. Maybe she's on to him…I'll send Patton, Wally, and Nigel on a search mission directly after school, Rachel decided. It's probably nothing, but it's best to check into this. Make sure he's not in way over his head…

"I'm in way over my head!"

"Oh, stop yer whining," Fanny replied, pulling him along after her. They had wound up at Funworld, an amusement park that boasted The Widowmaker, the most vomit inducing roller coaster presently known to man. "Yeh can't exactly tell me yer afraid of heights. Yeh drive a space ship fer goodness sakes!"

"I'm not afraid of heights," Hoagie said defensively, "I just don't feel like throwing up today!"

"Well yer going on it, so c'mon!" He had complained his way through the line (though it was relatively short, as most people were in school right now) and she pushed him into the front car, taking her seat beside him.

One of the employees pressed a button and their seat belts came down on them, strapping them in, but not securely enough for Hoagie's taste. He liked roller coasters, but this one had actually managed to scare Wally, and ever since witnessing that, Hoagie had been too afraid to go on it himself. The ride started, launching them through upside down loops, going down steep hills, racing them along upside down, Hoagie trying his hardest not to look at the ground. It reached where they started and then launched them backwards through each part again.

By the time it was through, Hoagie's legs felt like jelly. He and Fanny were both very wobbly. She grabbed onto him for support, and both collapsed into a heap. "Fanny, would you please stop spinning?" Hoagie asked as he waited for the world to stop whirling.

"Not until you stop.."

"Try closing your eyes," He suggested. She gave him a suspicious look. He held up his hands as though in surrender. "Just trust me. Please?" She frowned, but gave into his request. That's when he went for it. He pressed his lips to hers. She seemed surprised, but she didn't pull away.

If he had done that to stop the dizziness they both felt, he had failed. Because now both of them felt breathless, the world whirling on by faster than it had on the roller coaster. They stood still.

They pulled away, and Fanny looked about to say something. Whatever it was, though, she seemed unable to vocalize it. Hoagie shrugged. "Sorry..I..uh..I guess I'll get going. School ended an hour ago, anyways. And I'm supposed to meet up with the Teens Next Door tonight."

"Yeah..I've got a meeting with the teens tonight," Fanny said sadly, not daring to make eye contact. Both out of what had just occurred and her guilt for working as his enemy.

As bad as they both felt with that knowledge, it was about to get even worse.

"NUMBUH 2!" The title was boomed out with a heavy accent, making the voice's owner unmistakable. Nigel Uno. Fanny ran, unable to face the new threat, what she thought was about to happen.

"Heh…Hi, Numbuh 1," Hoagie said in a fake cheery voice as he turned to see Wally, Patton and Nigel. "Funny running into you guys here.."

"Yeh do remember the tracker we all have on us, right, mate?" Wally asked, giving Hoagie a funny look. Hoagie looked guilty. He had forgotten about it. All the stupider since he himself had designed them.

"Not to mention the fact we planted one on Fanny Fulbright months ago," Patton added fiercely, his hands clenched into fists. "Are you really that dumb? What are you doing, fraternizing with the enemy? Does she have any TND secrets?!"

"Calm down, Numbuh 60," Nigel said, before turning his attention back to Hoagie. "Hoagie…please tell me this was just a routine spy mission. That you were only hanging out with her to get her trust --"

"Trust?!" Wally asked, rolling his eyes, "We caught the make out session! That's not gaining trust, mate, that's just….disgusting.."

"I must admit, it doesn't look good," Nigel said, taking off his sunglasses and cleaning them before replacing them.

"I have some information on the moves of Father," Hoagie said through clenched teeth. He had not done a mind tap for that information, and that had been Rachel's strict order. Yes, Fanny had told him everything he needed to know, but when it came from the mouth of a traitor, Hoagie was smart enough to realize that only he would believe it.

"Oh," Wally said, sighing in relief, "That's good to hear. You were just spying on her…."

A figure in the shadows pushed the off button on their tape recorder, smiling to themselves. Oh, Fanny…stupid move of you to try to betray us, but at least with this, we can get you back on our side, the figure thought to themselves, popping out the tape and pocketing it. In the end, it'll be you that turns Hoagie Gilligan into a senior Citizombie. I'll personally make sure of that.
