Disclaimer: I do not own Kids Next Door. This is just a story for fun.

Sally made her way through the wastelands of the world passing the wrecked remains of buildings and an old playground. The girl stopped to stare at the rusted wrecked remains of the playground. The sight saddened Sally and made her think about the old pictures her grandmother showed her of boys and girls playing together. Sally tightened her fist as she became more determined to help the boys and bring back the world her grandmother told her about. The playground was once a place of fun and joy, but in Margaret's twisted utopia of a world it was forgotten and left in ruin.

"I promise to bring joy back into the world grandma." Vowed Sally as she continued forward.

After an hour or so of walking Sally saw something up ahead. It was a medium size cardboard box with a white flag that had the letters BND. It was the lair of the Boys Next Door! Sally had found it. The girl took a deep breath, this was it. Sally crawled into the box and found out that it was the entrance and cover for a tunnel that went underground. There was a ladder that lead down and Sally headed down where she began hearing people talking. A boy with a blond mohawk and wear a blue outfit with half a sunglasses covering his right eye was talking about a huge cannon Margaret had constructed to eliminate all the boys. The boy's name was Nathan and despite the odds that was against the boys, he encouraged them all to keep fighting. It was then that Sally decided to enter the room. One of the boys saw the disguised girl and demanded to know who she was. Sally made her voice sound gruff and told the boys she had important information for the resistance. However before she could say anymore, a dark skinned boy with a claw for his right hand held up a Rainbow Monkey.

"Oh my gosh is that the new friends forever Rainbow Monkey?" Asked Sally in her regular voice.

"Got you." Said the boy holding the stuffed animal.

Sally's eyes widen as she realized she just blew her cover. Another boy yanked her hat off causing her hair to spill out revealing herself to the boys.

"It's a girl! Get her!" Shouted one of the boys as they closed in on Sally.

"Enough!" Ordered a voice from the shadows.

Everybody turned to see an old man with a eyepatch over his left eye wearing a white shirt, an orange vest, jeans, a black glove on his left hand, and tennis shoes, come in on a strange looking wheelchair that had four mechanical legs with boots. The old man was Wally and he was on of the people in charge of the Boys Next Door. Wally looked down at Sally who cringed a little at the intimidating man.

"What are you doing here girl?" Asked Wally.

"I'm...here to help." Said Sally as she mustered up her courage.

"You think we need a girl's helping hand? Well no thanks I already got one!" Said Wally as he removed his glove and showed the women hand he had.

"But my grandma told me that boys and girls used to work together and fight evil adults!" Said Sally.

"That's just a fairy tale father's tell their sons to help them sleep better at night." Said Nathan with a smirk.

"No it's TRUE!" Said Sally as she turned to Wally. "Tell them, you used to fight alongside girls!"

"That...was a very long time ago." Said Wally with a hint of sadness in his voice as he put his glove back on.

"What's your name girl?" Asked Nathan.

"Sally Sanbam and my grandmother used to fight alongside him against evil adults. I opposed Madame Margaret and escaped from her castle to help the resistance to defeat defeat her, because it was the right thing to do and it's the only way to get boys and girls to play together again. Just like my grandmother remembered." Said Sally as she stood next to Wally and looked up at him with hope and kindness in her eyes.

The name Sanbam ran through, Wally's mind as he glanced down at Sally. He saw the the girl resembled the women he loved at that age and he saw how much this girl was like her grandmother.

"You really our Numbuh 3's granddaughter. Your a dreamer." Said Wally as he looked at Sally. "Just...go home...its to late for your help. To late to...dream." The man said sadly as it looked like a small part of him had died only to be brought back to life to just simply die again.

"Ok...have it your way." Said Sally sadly with a few tears falling from her eye as she reached into her bag and pulled out the Girlifying rifle.

All the boys gasped and ducked for cover except for Nathan and Wally. Sally faced Wally and calmly dropped the rifle into his lab. All the boys were utterly stunned. Wally starred at Sally not sure what to say.

"I brought it as a present. I thought maybe you could reverse engineer it to fight Madam Margaret." Said Sally before she turned to leave.

All the boys watched Sally head down the tunnel. Nathan just watched her walk away and then he looked at Wally who just starred at the rifle with his head bent down lost in thought.

"Your just going let her walk away after all she's done?" Demanded Nathan in anger.

Wally didn't respond and this just made Nathan angrier.

"Well forget you old man! Sally risked her life to come here! She's as brave as any BOY! And you know what she's right! Boys and girls can work together! Starting now!" Declared Nathan before he rushed after Sally.

Sally was sad and a little heartbroken, but then she heard someone coming from behind her.

"Wait Sally don't go! Your right about what you said. Do you still want to join the Boys Next Door?" Said Nathan.

Before Sally could respond, someone else spoke up.

"No not the Boys Next Door!" Shouted Wally as he sat up straight holding the rifle with a fire in his eye. "We're the Kids Next Door!"

Both Nathan and Sally turned to face Wally with smiles and tears in their eyes. Wally just smiled back as he handed the rifle to one of the boys to revers engineer it. All the boys seemed more lively then ever. Wally called Sally to his private quarters to talk.

"Sally...I want to thank you for what you just did. You restored my faith in the future. For so many years I've done nothing but fight and hate Margaret and her forces. I fought them so long that I began to believe that all girls were like Margaret and they shared the same ideals as her, but you came here and proved me wrong. Not all girls are like them. The world was a better place and we can bring it back to the way things used to be." Said Wally as he looked at Sally with a smile.

"Your welcome. I know I wasn't around during those days, but from the way my grandma used to talk about them I knew they were true and the world back then was better then Margaret's ideal world." Said Sally.

"Speaking of...your grandma, how is she?" Asked Wally.

"She's doing good and my mom is doing good." Said Sally as she reached into her pocket, pulled out a picture, and handed it to Wally.

Wally stared at a middle age Kuki with a small blond hair baby girl on her lap. The old man starred at the picture and then looked at the date. Wally thought back to the day he had to leave Kuki and realized that the blond kid in the picture was born a few months after, he left the women he loved. The baby girl was Wally's daughter! Everything clicked into place and Wally looked at Sally, who knew that the man who was her grandfather had figured it all out. The girl smiled at Wally.

"Your...mom was my daughter, but I didn't know Kuki was pregnant. So that makes...you my granddaughter." Said Wally as he starred at Sally.

"Hey grandpa." Said Sally with a little smile.

Wally suddenly grabbed Sally and embraced her. Sally was a little shocked at first, but she returned the embrace. They stopped hugging after a few seconds and then faced one another.

"Sally I promise you that I'm going to do everything that I can to end Margaret and her rule, so that boys and girls can play together like in the old days. We're going to end this war." Said Wally with determination in his eyes.

Sally just smiled back and nodded. And so the boys had a new comrade and they were now fighting for something more.

To be continued.
