Wally and Kuki squirmed as John was reading to Templeton and Rachel looked on hoping her parents would let her keep John as a little brother.

"Uhh Numbah 362 I need to use the bathroom really bad and I can't hold it" Kuki said as Wally started laughing at her.

"Fanny take Numbah 3 to the bathroom and I will be watching to see if you untie her agent".

Fanny stood up and slung Kuki over her shoulder as they stopped at the bathroom and Rachel's eyes never left Fanny.

"So Templeton is a cool name for a rat where did you get it?".

"Haven't your parents ever read you Charlotte's Web?, it's the rat's name in the book" John said as Templeton's head shot up at his name.

"My parents stopped reading to me when I became seven and begged them to stop, but I guess I take things like that for granted".

"My mommy used to love reading to me, she used to do the voices and everything before she died".

"Why didn't Templeton or you die in the fire Numbah 6?, I mean who saved you?"

John got teary eyed when Rachel asked this and he looked down at Templeton who stared back with his black beady eyes.

"My daddy saved me but he didn't make it, the house fell on him and my mommy and the police sent me to live in an orphanage".

"Oh my God that's so sad, well not to worry because we have a room for you in the treehouse, plus if you play your cards right I may be able to get you to come home with me" Rachel said ruffling his hair.

"Can Templeton come too, I'll take really good care of him I promise Mrs. Rachel".

"We're already making arrangements for Templeton to live in the treehouse, as for my house if he stays in the cage I'm sure my mom won't freak too much".

Kuki was led back to her seat by Fanny who shook her head and stared at Rachel.

"Numbah 362 this is torture to girl's everywhere, I mean where do you get off tying her up with Beatles?".

"If they want to act up they can do it in their own time, but on the missions I'm the boss and I say their being punished".

John stood up and grabbed Templeton's cage as he walked up to Kuki who smiled down at him.

"Greetings new agent I'm Numbah 3 but you can call me Kuki, and that mean boy over there's Wally he'll start a fight with you if you let him" Kuki said as John placed Templeton's cage on Kuki's lap.

"This is Templeton and he's my friend, that is until I can make some human friends and start hanging with them" John said as Kuki started making funny faces inside Templeton's cage at him.

"You're a freaky, peppy, Rainbow Monkey loving, girl and I deserve a better mission buddy" Wally said loud enough for Rachel to hear him.

"You like Rainbow Monkey's, I love them my mom got me into them at an early age, then I found Templeton but Monkey's are still my favorite thing's to sleep with.

"See Wally I told you we'd find another boy who like's Rainbow Monkey's, I guess he has good taste when it comes to stuffed animals".

Rachel walked up the aisle of the jet and stopped at Wally and Kuki's seats shaking her head.

"You two are giving the name agent a bad name, why don't you two smarten up and teach the new agent what being a Numbah is all about.

John snatched a Rainbow Monkey from his backpack and grabbed Templeton's cage walking back to his seat.

"It's rare to see a boy playing with Rainbow Monkeys, but that's not to say I want you to stop or anything like that" Rachel said as John placed the stuffed monkey in front of Templeton.

"Did somebody say Rainbow Monkey's?, where are they I love Rainbow Monkey's" Fanny said searching the jet until her eyes fell on John's Monkey and Templeton's cage.

"This is Wilbur the Rainbow Monkey, and the rat is Templeton, what's your name?" John asked as Fanny looked down at him.

"The name's Fanny kid, and you should be lucky I'm talking to you, most boys meet the end of my fists".

"You seem troubled Mrs. Fanny, why do you hate boys so much I mean they don't hate you do they?"

"Speak for yourself Numbah 6 you don't know her well enough to like her or hate her yet" Wally said as Fanny glared in his direction.

"Watch yourself Beatles or you may be eating your words before too long" Fanny said angrily.

Rachel walked up the aisle as John was monitoring the agents trying to find a way him and Templeton could fit in with them.

"This looks like a lively bunch don't they Wilbur, we'll be friends with them in no time".

"Houston Texas is coming up ahead everybody strap yourselves in and sit back" Nigel said as Kuki and Wally looked at each other.

"I'm thinking he didn't mean you guys, he meant for the non strapped people to strap in and sit back".

Rachel laughed at John's joke as the plane landed in the middle of an elementary school and the sun was burning on the grass.

"Again I have to say keep on your toes and keep the weapons locked and loaded, we barely got out alive last time".

"What if one of us doesn't have a weapon?, I mean what am I supposed to do?" John asked as Nigel saw a pint sized him staring up at him with fear on his face.

"You stick with Mrs. Rachel kid, you have the most important job on this mission, you're the bargaining chip to get another agent".

Rachel let John climb onto her back as Templeton was sleeping in his cage that John left on his seat.

"All right agents protect the Supreme Leader and future leader with all you've got" Nigel said as Kuki and Wally glared angrily at each other.

"You two will bring up the rear, I'm not going to have two bickering agents protect me and Numbah 6" Rachel said as Wally and Kuki reluctantly got out last.

"All right Hoagie and Abby take the front doors, Fanny and I will take the back doors, and Kuki and Wally will so help me God stop flicking each other in the ears and pay attention" Nigel said as Kuki pointed at Wally like it was his fault.

"Numbah 6 and I will go through the front doors, Abby and Hoagie will then follow us inside protecting us from the back".

"Numbah 362 might I ask why Numbah 6 is so important?, I mean isn't he just another agent?" Hoagie asked as Kuki and Wally were still flicking each other.

"Numbah 5 thinks not, she thinks that this is too much trouble for one little boy".

"Just do as I say and protect us, and we'll get along just fine" Rachel said as John got a scared look in his eyes.

Abby and Hoagie opened the doors as Rachel crept in keeping her gumball gun by her side at all times.

"Mrs. Rachel why didn't I get a weapon yet?, I mean I can handle one too right?" John asked as Rachel stopped at classroom number 36 and John saw the most beautiful blonde girl sitting in the front row.

"To answer your question munchkin, there's a bunch of classes you have to take before you get a weapon like this one".

"Who's the girl she looks pretty, Is she the agent we're taking back with us?".

Rachel nodded her head smiling as she opened the door and the students shrieked seeing a girl with a gumball gun walk into the class.

"No need to be alarmed kids, we're looking for Beth Hannon and we're not leaving without her" Rachel said as the blonde girl stood up and we see glasses on her brown eyes as she smiled at John.

"See that we cooperate and we cooperate and we get done quicker, thank you for your participation".

Beth looked up at Rachel with a weird look on her face as Rachel stopped her in the hall.

"HOAGIEEEEEEEE ABBYYYYYYYYY WHERE THE FROOP ARE YOU GUYS?

Hoagie and Abby ran to the back of Rachel with their weapons loaded as Rachel led the two agents back to the jet.

"All of your questions will be answered on the jet sweetie, but we do have to get our butts in gear like now" Rachel said as the other agents ran to the jet and got strapped in.

"First we have a little bit of ugly business to deal with, and they come in the form of Numbahs 3 and 4 it's isolation for the both of you".

Kuki and Wally got scared looks on their faces as a cover on the floor was opened and they were led down it.

"Heyyyyyy what about my Rainbow-".

Kuki didn't finish as her six bags packed to the top with Rainbow Monkeys were thrown into the hole.

"Thank you kindly Numbah 362, at least some people appreciate a girl and her Rainbow Monkeys because Wally doesn't.

The jet took off as Beth took a seat next to John and he looked her up and down as she did the same to him.

"Howdy yall I'm Beth but my friends call me Angel, and what may I ask is your name?".

"John and if I had friends they'd probably call me Bookworm or some junk like that".

Beth spied Templeton and smiled at him as John picked the cage up and gave it to Beth.

"His name's Templeton, you know like the rat in the book Charlotte's Web anyways he loves new people almost as much as I do".

"So where are these cowpokes taking us?, I'm mighty scared of them seeing that I've never met them before".

"All I know is there's a treehouse with rooms for us, three square meals a day, and all the desserts you can eat" John said as Beth reached her arm over his seat and placed her hand on his shoulder.

"Awwwwww isn't that cute your first crush, but I think it'll take a few years before the two of you start seeing each other physically" Rachel said as Beth placed a cowboy hat on her head.

"Where are you taking us anyways?, where the deer and the antelope play?" Beth asked as Rachel laughed and shook her head.

"No we're taking you to KND headquarters and once there you will be under my command, I'll train you to be the best of the best agents.

"Rachel we're reaching sunny Florida you know the drill, and keep Numbah's 3 and 4 locked up, that is if they didn't already kill themselves" Nigel said as the landing gear went down.

"All right agents strap in and sit back, we're landing and then I'll take Numbah's 6 and 7 with me while Numbah one commands the legacy agents outside" Rachel said as Fanny looked angrily at her.

"Legacy now come on Rache, your making us sound so old when we're only 12 and three quarters".

"We've been doing this for six years Fan, we founded the KND and that makes us a legacy now let's get a move on.

John and Beth followed Rachel as Nigel led Fanny, Hoagie, and Abby across the field and to the side of a house.

"All right kids I guess we should ring the bell and knock, I want you to meet Numbah 8 and he's a doozie of an agent or so I hear.

The bell rang twice and Rachel knocked as a woman in an apron opened the door and smiled down at Rachel.

"Well you must be Rachel Mckenzie we talked on the phone, I'm Martha Kenefeck David's mother won't you please come in with your friends?" The woman said.

John and Beth ran inside smelling fresh baked chocolate chip cookies, and brownies as a boy with messy brown hair stopped them at the kitchen.

"Who the hell do you think you two are running into my house?, the track team or something?" the boy asked as Beth stared at him and sighed lovingly.

"Well I guess I'm not the only boy in your life now am I Numbah 7?, haven't you ever heard you can't have your cake and eat it too?" John asked as Rachel ran to catch up with the agents.

"David Kenefeck I'm Rachel Mckenzie and I'd like to welcome you the Kids Next Door, It looks like my other two agents have already met you".

"This little boy has a bad attitude when it comes to looking at the blonde, I mean you'd think they were dating or something".

"Well we were until you came along and ruined it, Mr., Mr., Mr., Mr. I have to ruin everybody's good time" John said snatching up a cookie from a plate that Martha set out for the agents.

"I don't ruin anybody's good time kid, all's I do is make people see that their not good for the girl their with" David said as an angry gleam got in John's eyes and he saw his first villain standing in front of him.

Sorry if the chapters are getting long but there's a lot of non KND characters that I have to introduce so the next chapter should be the last of finding agents and also I need ideas so don't hesitate to send me yours and I'll credit you for the chapter Thanks
