Nigel Uno whipped the cream of his face. Walking towards the loud house, he stepped on a woopie cushion, making him dodge the first cream pie the act triggered. The second one came a fraction of second later, aimed exactly where the face of a crouching operative would be.

"She's good" said Numbuh 5.

"We are better."

The two operatives reached the front door, where they found three doorbells. Nigel raised an eyebrow. He decided to try the most classic of the KND passcodes.

"Eenie, meenie, miney, mo"

Wait, he thought. Would Numbuh Custard 3. 1416 make it that simple?

"Catch a tiger by the… Numbuh Five, jump!"

A hidden mechanism sent two mousetraps flying, snapping shut right where Numbuh One feet were a moment ago.

"Toe."

Nigel dusted himself, and kept going.

"If he hollers, let him go

Eenie, meenie, miney, …"

Another pause. No, it would not be that easy. Nigel quickly pressed the button where the word "go" landed.

The result was the sound of a regular bell. A blond teenager girl with a large smile opened the door.

"Oh, a kid disguised as, like, someone bald with sunglasses. Why people didn't tell me it was Halloween already?"

A white-haired boy pushed the teenage aside.

"Thanks, Leni, I got this."

"Sure. I have pumpkins to carve. Bye, costumed kid."

"Uh, sorry, Numbuh One, Numbuh Five. Welcome to Sector Double L."

"Numbuh Five-two. I wish we could met in more amicable situation."

"Huh… my sister… she will not be hurt, will she? I mean…"

"Don't worry. The decommission is pretty safe. Now…"

"Huh… Luan's being in and out the whole day. Right now I don't know where she is. Numbuh 49 is trying to find her, but…"

"I found her."

"Aaaah!" the three operatives jumped, scared of the girl in black appearing from nowhere.

"See? See? I knew it was, like, Halloween." Shouted Leni, from inside.

"She's on the basement."

"Lead the way, Numbuh Five-Two." Said Numbuh One, unwrapping and starting to chew the gum, just in case.

Before they could walk far into the house, their path was interrupted by a girl in a ponytail with a soccer ball in front of her.

"So, you're the English kid who said could beat me on Soccer."

"It's called Football, and I am not…"

"Lynn, sorry, but we're kind in a hurry."

"No way, Lincoln. Luan said baldy challenged me and I will not run away from it. I…"

"Agh, It's not because I am English that I am good at this sport. In fact, I live in America since…". The sound of the basement door being closed caught their attention. Only then they noticed the ball vanished from Lynn's foot. It was now with Numbuh Five, who was making keepie-uppies. She increased the acrobatic level of the manouvers a bit, before planting the ball between the floor and her feet.

"Nigel, Lincoln, go ahead. I will take care of this" And made the universal 'bring it on' sign to Lynn.

"Even better." Lynn grinned and licked her lips in the anticipation of the battle.

They went to the basement, only to notice it was, indeed, empty. While the boys were looking downstairs, a shadow passed by fast, running for the stairs.

Nigel and Lincoln raced behind it, as the James Bond theme started to be heard on the background.

"Luan" pleaded Lincoln "Let's talk this over."

The shadow ran upstairs, where Luna was killing it on the guitar.

"Hiya, bro. Odd choice of tune for a birthday, or what?" Both boys kept running. Nigel was already making a gum bubble, aiming it at the figure who just put two similar girls on the top of stairs.

"Hi, Lincoln" said one of the twins. "What's…" It was too late. Before Lincoln could shout a warn, they were already covered on a net of gum.

"My haaaaaaaair! Take this thing out of my precious hair!" cried Lola. Lana was busy examining the material surrounding both. "Eeeeew, this is gross." And smiling "Do that again! Do it again!"

Lincoln tried to stop and help, but Nigel was pushing him towards their target, who entered a room.

"Freeze, Lincoln. And you too, Numbuh One." Lisa was holding Lisa hostage, and holding a water balloon just over her head. Another two were within her grabing range.

Nigel chuckled "Do you think mere water balloons can stop us?"

"Mere balloons, yes. But where did I get the water from?"

Only then they noticed a trail of small water puddles coming from the bathroom.

"You wouldn't dare." Said Nigel.

"Come on, Luan. This… this isn't you. This isn't funny."

"No, Lincoln, it is not. Think about it. And you, too, 'L'. Here as we, fighting instead of having fun on my birthday. We should be a family, and we're here, hiding secrets from one another, thinking we're more than others because we belong to an organization." She pressed the water balloon more against Lisa's head. "And what's our pay, 'L'? Be throw away due an arbitrary rule? Our ages? You are more mature than I am, Lisa. Think about your sins, KND."

Nigel thought he sure needed some backup for the situation, and grabbed the keychan he was about to press the button, when Lisa noticed the movement.

"Numbuh One, don…"

After the soft 'click', all Nigel and and Loud kids heard was a muffled explosion, and their vision was flood by a sea of green and red.

Kids Next Door R.A.D.I.O.

Radish Ambush Disarming Incoming Opponents

Luan saw herself pressed by a sea of vegetables against the wall, far from her hostage and weapons. She sighed.

"Well, that's it. I know when it's over. Go on, decommission me, I will somehow handle my brother and sisters looking at me as the enemy for the next years, with me having no idea why."

"No!"

"Numbah Five-two?"

With difficulty, Lincoln swan the sea of radishes to stand next to Luan.

"If Luan is not fit for the Kids Next Door, I am not, either. Your right, sister. Organizations come and go, family is forever."

"Between family and KND, I also choose family."

A small arm appeared in the middle of vegetables.

"So do I."

"Numbuh Five-Two, 49, L, This is almost treason. I can't…"

"Yes, Nigel, we can."

Abigail was standing in the door, trying to make space between the radishes.

"They are what we fight for, Numbuh One. The Kids Next Door fight for the right of kids being kids. No matter their age. We fight for the Louds."

Numbuh One looked disappointed for a while, but regained his composure.

"L, if you can produce me an actual radio, I will arrange for the decommission of the whole sector Double L tomorrow. Will miss you, squirt. You're not bad for a toddler."

"You're better."

"SIGH." Said Lucy. "I am sad because I will not remember a reason for be sad." She touched Lincoln's shoulder "But I know I will still be proud of my brother, even not remembering why."

The four soon-too-be-decommissioned operatives hugged themselves, as Numbuh One and Five started to make way through the vegetable mess.

"Let's go back to the treehouse, Numbuh Five, our work here is doooooo-ouch-ouch-ouch!"

Nigel felt the hand of Lori Loud firmly on his ear.

"Oh, no. Nobody leaves without explaining why we're waist-deep in radishes inside our own house."

Lincoln Loud is looking straight at you

"…And that's how we… we… funny. I think I forgot something quite important."

End of transmission.
