A/N:

I'll improve the summary soon. -T^T-

Lizzie smiled to herself. She was walking next to her beloved Nigel, with a ring on her finger, in an amusement park. They were on a date. Lizzie was having a great time but Nigel seemed to be focused on something else. Lizzie couldn't seem to place it. But something was off.

Maybe it was just her.

Lizzie pulled on their intertwined hands.

"Nigie! Let's go on the Ferris wheel!" She exclaimed. Nigel looked to her and offered a weak smile.

"Sure. Why not, Lizzie." Lizzie giggled and moved towards the Ferris wheel. The line dwindled, and Lizzie waited until exactly the right moment to ask him the question she wanted to know the answer to. She waited until they were in mid-air, frozen about half way up, to ask. So he couldn't run away.

"Nigel, why don't you want me to join the Kids Next Door?" Lizzie asked. Nigel was sitting across from her, his face inclined towards the window. He stiffened, before turning back to face her.

"What?"

"Nigel, why don't you want me to join? And don't give me an answer like, 'you're to weak' or 'you'll get in the way' or 'you can't handle it'"

"But that's exactly why, Lizzie." Lizzie froze, looking behind her glasses at her boyfriend. Nigel's mouth twitched and he avoided eye contact.

"Nigel, I can too! I'm not a nuisance. I can defend myself and I can defend you, too! I'd-" Nigel never let her finish his sentence. He held up a finger to silence her.

"Lizzie, I can't let anything happen to you. If you join the Kids Next Door, you'll be in danger every day. And I'll be worried."

Lizzie fought a sob. Back before she met Rachel she would have rejoiced at this phrase. She would have been indescribably happy. But not now. When the ride ended, she stepped off and walked at a pace slightly faster than Nigels.

He didn't have to worry about her, now did he?

Rachel walked along the halls of the moonbase, her friend number 86 at her side. The redhead was explaining to Rachel the significance of teammates on a mission, and using that as a simile, to compare it to her school. How friends were important.

Only listening half heartedly, Rachel pondered over her friends. In her private school, she didn't really talk to too many people, occasional kids who knew her form the KND she'd speak to, but otherwise everyone was so studious that they had nothing to worry about from adults. She supposed she could consider Fanny her friend, and just about any operative in the Kids Next Door, but if she wasn't Supreme Commander, then most of them would just look past her as just another comrade. Angie was also her friend, although Angie was around Harvey more often then her.

Speaking of Harvey, she hadn't seen him all day.

Immediately, Rachel started to look for Angie. Because usually Angie would follow Harvey around. No sign of the brunette.

"Number 86, have you by any chance seen my brother, number 363?" Rachel asked. "He should be up in moonbase today."

Fanny shrugged. "Eye don' know." She said. "But 'e's just a stuuuupid boi." Fanny crossed her arms. "Eh cerse, if 'e's the supreme commander's siblin, then 'e can' be all dat bad." She reasoned to herself. Rachel spotted him turning a corner.

"Sorry, excuse me number 86." Rachel said. "I found him and- oh, number 60. Number 86, could you please instruct number 60 on the whereabouts of the machine we spoke of earlier?" Number 86 grimaced at Patton's entrance, but nodded her agreement to Rachel.

"Make sure he does it properly!" Rachel said with a smile. Patton tried to wink at her but she didn't even notice. Rachel moved after her brother and grabbed his shoulder. He practically screamed.

"Harvey, where were you? You weren't at dinner last night." She said. Harvey tried to run away.

"And why do you look guilty?"

"I'M-NOT-HELPING-LIZZIE- KEEP-HER- BOYFRIEND- AND-TRYING-TO- STEAL-NUMBER-ONE- OH-LOOK-AT-THE-TIME I-GOTTA-GO DONT-TOUCH-ME!" Harvey ran away. Rachel was flabbergasted. She didn't know his tiny body had enough air to say all that in one breath. She heard something about number one, boyfriend, and Lizzie.

"That's suspicious." She started to search for her comrade in winning over Nigel's love, Angie. Perhaps she could find out what Harvey said- after all, Angie spoke like that all the time.

Lizzie folded her arms and glared at her accomplice.

"YOU WHAT? Now she's probably onto us!" Lizzie burst. Harvey looked up at her, his hands clenched into fists.

"Shut up! You never said it had to be a secret! Besides, I'm a HORRIBLE liar!" Harvey turned around. Lizzie sighed, and narrowed her eyes.

"Anyway, we need to start working towards winning Nigel over now. I could care less if she knows. As long as she doesn't get in the way." Lizzie snapped. "Anyway, do you have any brilliant ideas to redeem yourself?"

Harvey crossed his arms and continued to look anywhere but at Lizzie. "I dunno. I'll ask Angie. She likes romantic stuff, anyway. So she'll probably know about events."

Lizzie clapped her hands. "Yes! You go ask her while I prepare! Festivals, dances, anything! Light shows, even! Any super romantic restaurants!" Lizzie was enjoying this a bit too much. Harvey rolled his eyes and moved down the street. Where was Angie, anyway? He opened the door to his house and was knocked over before he could even retaliate.

"Ow! What In the world?" he muttered. He opened his eyes and there was Angie.

Pinning him to the ground.

"HARVEY! Did you say something weird to Rachel?" She yelled. Harvey flailed.

"GET OFF ME! DON'T TOUCH ME! DON'T EVER TOUCH ME"

"TELL ME!" Angie ordered. "HEY! I SAW LIZZIE OUTSIDE! ARE YOU HAVING AN AFFAIR?"

"What the heck? GET OFF! I'm not married how can I have an affair! BESIDES I'M HELPING HER WIN NIGEL!"

Angie smirked so wide it extended to her ears. Harvey paled.

"I see….well, you'll lose!" Angie exclaimed. Harvey raised an eyebrow.

"What?"

"Rachel's gonna win Nigel's heart for sure! She has me, a total expert in romance. And what does Lizzie have?" Angie stood up and offered her hand to Harvey. "She has you".

Harvey's eyebrow twitched.

"And what is THAT supposed to mean! You aren't an expert in romance!" Harvey said, standing and slapping Angie's hand away. Angie pursed her lips and laughed.

"Well, I'm better at it than you. Do you know how many romance novels I've read? How many plays I've seen? Ah, memories…" She floated off. Harvey pointed a finger at her, and jabbed it into her arm.

"Lizzie will win Nigel!"

"RACHEL WILL!"

"I'll make you cry when you lose!"

"You're so cruel! FINE, let's bet on it." Angie smirked. Harvey frowned. "bet what?"

"If Lizzie wins I do something for you, if Rachel wins you have to do something for me." Angie explained.

"FINE! If Lizzie wins, you need to convince Rachel to back off of Nigel FOREVER and you'll stop annoying me!"

"You don't get two things."

"SHUT UP! FINE! You'll just stop annoying me!" Harvey yelled. Angie flipped her hair and giggled.

"Fine. And if Rachel wins, then you'll kiss me."

"WHAT."

"Scared Lizzie'll lose?" Angie said. Harvey scowled.

"She will win! And then you'll leave me alone! FOREVER." Harvey went outside and slammed the door. Angie smiled at the door, then skipped to the couch. Seconds later, the door opened and Harvey grabbed her hand, and tossed her out.

"THIS IS MY HOUSE! GET OUT!"

Angie laughed.

Maybe now he'd actually help Lizzie's chance at Nigel's heart. Since he had something he really dreaded waiting for him if Lizzie lost.

"Okay, Rachel!" Angie said. "We need to act fast, because Lizzie is trying to win Nigel's heart too. First of all, which do you prefer? Restaurants, dances, or being alone together for like, a walk on the beach?" Angie laid down the plan. Blueprints were on the desk in Rachel's room, and Angie's small hand was plopped upon it. Rachel sat on her bed, her finger to her chin.

"Hmm…I think 'd prefer to walk, just the two of us, you know?" Rachel said. "That way it wouldn't be pressured, and we could walk somewhere private. Plus, if we're just walking, it's not very date like, so people won't get too suspicious."

Angie groaned.

"No, no, no! I like the walk, but not like a date? Sorry Rachel, but that's completely off the point! We need Nigel to be captivated by you! CAP-TI-VATED. So that means it needs to have the feel of a date. For that, you'll definably need to go for a walk around sunset." Angie giggled. She took her backpack and pulled out a few romance novels, as well as a book on how to win a man. Rachel examined the latter.

Angie handed the book to Rachel. "Okay, so first, you need a situation in which to ask him. It can't seem to desperate or clingy, because guys hate that." She sniffled. Oh how hypocritical she felt. "And you need to ask him in a way that makes it seem like it's just as friends. Because he does have a girlfriend, and if he's got any decency at all, he'd decline if he thought it would upset Lizzie too much. Got it?" Angie asked. Rachel nodded.

"Okay! So I'll need a good reason."

"Maybe if you were asking him to help you find something you'd lost-"

"In that case we'd need to have me lose something first."

"I'll find something for you to lose- it can't be useless. It needs to have value." Angie said. "And I'll have it with me the whole time. So I'll follow you two, and then when it gets to a point where you should cut the date, I'll come out of hiding and say I was walking by."

"In that case, we'll need to find a path that is commonly walked by…" Rachel said.

"But not too commonly." Angie added.

"I know! The path behind main street!" Rachel said. Angie nodded firmly. "yea, and you can say you were going for a jog last night, and you dropped it? And to make sure you're together during sunset, then you'll need to meet around four o clock. Since the sun sets at four thirty, the first half hour you'll both be looking."

Angie lent up and grabbed a necklace, with a heart shaped locket.

"Can we use this?" She asked. Rachel nodded. "Yea! We can!" Angie placed it on a lower shelf and flopped onto the ground. She was sleeping over Rachel's tonight, much to Harvey's displeasure.

Speaking of Harvey, he was right at the door listening the whole time.

He was furious. How dare Angie fall so low. He shook his head. He'd run a plan he had just thought of by Lizzie tomorrow morning. He wouldn't just make sure Rachel didn't win Nigel's heart.

He would make sure Lizzie won, and then Angie would leave him alone. Forever.

A/N:

Chapters 1 + 2 in the same day! I'm glad people like this! : D

I'll start on chapter 3, it may be a while before I can upload it, though, since I really need a job.

There's not much Nigel&Lizzie or Nigel&Rachel in this segment, basically this was just to get Harvey fired up about helping Lizzie out & set up for the rest of the story. Because he totally wouldn't try if something wasn't on the line.

Next chapter should be eventful! I guarantee!

Hope you liked it! Reviews are loved.
