"You can do it, girl!" Lizzie called from the stands. An orange shape shot past, which earned a cheer from the audience. Dodging between tight squeezes and through hula hoops, the orange blur reached a black and white checkered pattern on the floor. The crowd erupted into applause. Kuki fluttered out of her seat and down to the end of the course. She gave Rachel a big hug.
"That was way faster than what I flew!" Kuki giggled.
"Thanks! But the course was pretty easy, they should have had more rings to fly through." Rachel commented.
"Let's go grab some lunch!" Lizzie suggested as she landed on the other side of Rachel. Together, they walked out of the training building and toward the cafeteria.
"So, I was told that, way back when the splinter cell was at large, the kids chose which organization suited their opinion of the splinter cell. I was wondering, what about the boys who loved the splinter cell's doing?" Rachel asked the question that was bugging her ever since she was told that information.
"Well, GIRLS wasn't always called that, before, when boys were in it, it had no acronym. But, after our memories were erased, Fanny kicked out all the boys since the splinter cell already completed their mission." Lizzie explained as they entered the lunchroom. A yellow bird flew by with a girl with the same exact wings on its tail.
"Hey, you'd better catch Luna before Fanny sees she's out!" Kuki called to the girl.
"Is she ever not out?" The girl asked as she continued to chase Luna, although she was falling behind. Rachel flapped her wings.
"I'll help Kammy." And she shot down the length of the cafeteria to get to the bird and girl. Once there, she flew right up next to Luna, to Kammy's surprise, and captured the bird carefully. She gently landed on the ground as Kammy came to a stop, but she still fluttered.
"Wow, you're fast!" Kammy spoke with surprise.
"Aw, it was nothing. I just didn't want a fellow GIRLS member to get in trouble." Rachel countered.
"Well, thanks." Kammy smiled as Rachel handed her the bird. "She doesn't stay around for too long, but she always comes back." She explained as she nuzzled her pet. It cooed happily.
"Have you had lunch yet? You could join us." Rachel gestured to Lizzie and Kuki. Kammy broke out in a big smile.
"I would love to!" So they ate lunch happily. Afterwards, Kammy had to go back to her room, and Kuki accompanied her.
"Kuki just loves that little bird." Lizzie explained as the two girls and bird wandered to Kammy's room. A hawk soared above, carrying a small silvery object.
"Is that anyone's pet?" Rachel asked, but Lizzie shook her head.
"No, some birds just hang around." The bird dropped the thing it was carrying and flew away. There was a strange red object on the bird's head.
"Hey, you can go to the store, I'm gonna check out what that hawk was carrying." Rachel told her friend. Nodding, Lizzie continued to walk to the shopping area while Rachel headed towards the outer edges of the base, to where the thing fell. Suddenly, there was movement a few feet away. A squirrel raced up to her with wild eyes. Looking around like something was following it, it opened its mouth.
"Please help!" It had a boys voice she knew, but couldn't place. She looked over to the strange talking critter.
"What do you need?" She felt a little weird talking to an animal, but it was something in need of assistance.
"That hawk, it took me away from my den, and I need to get back. The only problem is, I'm not a flying squirrel! Can you fly me to my home?" He pulled on two strings of leather attached to a cap on his head.
"Well, only if it won't take too long, I don't want anyone to notice I'm gone."
"Don't worry, I don't live too far away." He assured her. So, she picked up the animal and, following his instructions, soon came to a big warehouse and, just like the city she appeared in, it was completely destroyed.
"You live in this warehouse?" She asked, but he just gave her a saddened look.
"I-I'm so sorry." a tear ran down his fuzzy cheek. Soon, she was surrounded by kids, at point-blank range with all-too-familiar weaponry.
"It's a trap?" She couldn't move she was so stunned. Tricked by an animal. A hawk landed on the ground and stood, facing her as it morphed into a kid.
"What is the meaning of this, Numbuh five?" She sniped at the hawk-girl.
"They were getting ready to get rid of you, girl. Numbuh five had to get you outta there!" She exclaimed. The squirrel scurried out of her grasp and next to Numbuh 5, also changing back into a person.
"I still wished I could have been a flying squirrel for that." Numbuh two pouted. Rolling her eyes, Numbuh five continued
"Anyway, sorry for tricking you. It was the only way to get you to come here!"
"Where exactly is 'here'?"
"The KIDS base! Duh." Numbuh two spoke like everyone knew it.
"I'll show you around." Numbuh 5 offered, to which Rachel agreed to. An animal flew by, and it also changed into another kid. He and Numbuh two carried out a conversation in the background.
"I wished they'd come up with a better name, I mean, come on! What kind of name is 'Luna' anyway? Shesh, you think they'd know that I'm a boy for crying out loud!"
"Aw, shut up, Numbuh four, you know you like all the attention 'Sister Kuki' gives you!"
"What are you saying, squirrel boy!"
"Oh, nothing!"
A/N: Omg! I just love that ending! It makes me laugh everytime I read it! Anyway, enjoy this. Wow, I just noticed, Rachel is getting kidnapped alot...wait, can you be kidnapped by a kid? Huh, now I won't be able to sleep tonight and I'll be all groggy at zoo class tomorrow! Grrr...curse me and my wandering mind!
I just wanna say 1 thing, I know something you don't. It's a secret about this story, and you readers won't be able to knwo it untill I get to the end! So, usually, if I get more reviews, I get chapters up faster cause they make me feel good about my writings...just a little heads up.
