A/N:

Here's chapter 4! Not much to say!

Lizzie glared at the little fish tank in her house. Where was Nigel? He wasn't here. He wasn't anywhere. When she went to his house to find him, his father said heartily that he wasn't around, and then Mr. Uno ran off to go fishing. Lizzie had even went to the tree house, but he wasn't there, either. None of them were.

That could only mean one thing. They went to moonbase. Lizzie scoffed, watching as the goldfish in the tank stopped, then turned towards her.

"Oh, so you're gonna ditch me too? Go on, swim away." Lizzie spat. The fish did as she commanded.

Soon, a knock at her door alerted her and she burst towards the door, grabbing the handle and thrusting it open.

"Nigel!" She exclaimed. She looked at her eye level, but she saw no bald head. So she inclined her head downwards and, sure enough, there was number 363, his arms folded over his chest and his eyebrows knitted together in irritation.

"You're supposed to be with Nigel."

"I have no idea where he is!"

"WELL I DO! Because of your FAILURE, Rachel got to him and now they're heading to the path behind main street! Honestly, I'm beginning to think that you don't want to do this!" Harvey spat.

"Well, I mean, Nigie…" sob. That was the bullet. "He likes her better than me. Maybe I should give up…." Those words were the trigger.

"I DON'T THINK SO! DO YOU KNOW WHAT'S WAITING FOR ME IF YOU LOSE? ANGIE WANTS ME TO KISS HER. UT-UHH. YOU ARE GOING TO WIN! EVEN IF YOU DON'T WANT TO!" Harvey yelled. Lizzie blinked.

"You know, I think she likes you."

"Disgusting thoughts should stay in your mind! Anyway, you're going to WIN!" Lizzie puffed out her torso and sucked in her gut. Harvey took out the locket and dangled it, by the chain. Lizzie examined it.

"What's that?"

"The locket that Angie and Rachel so stupidly decided to 'lose'." He replied. "I have an idea. So all you need to do is go and interfere with them on the path." Lizzie nodded.

"That sounds great! So…uhhm…" She started.

"What?"

"Where's main street?" She asked. Harvey nearly fell over.

"You don't even know….? Ugh, fine, follow me." He muttered, heading outside.

"let me get changed!" Lizzie ran upstairs. Harvey's foot pounded on the door. She, after a few minutes, returned and pulled Harvey down the road, running towards main street, or where she thought it was. Then Harvey took the lead and lead her the right way.

Rachel and Nigel walked down one of the side roads, heading towards main street and the path behind it. Rachel and Nigel were in a conversation. Angie trotted behind them, in what she believed was stealth. Nigel noticed, and let out a halfhearted laugh.

"What on Earth is she doing?"

"Aw, humor her Nigel. She's just having fun." Rachel assured. "So, how have you been Nigel? I haven't really talked to you for awhile. All it's been lately are missions."

Nigel's shoulders slumped. "I suppose I've been well, Rachel. My dad's been trying to make me go fishing, constantly. It's getting irritating."

"Well, he's just trying to bond with you, I guess." Rachel said. Nigel moved to the side, and then he suddenly grabbed Rachel's hand.

"Rachel, we better run."

"Why's that?" Rachel asked. Nigel nudged towards Angie. "let's try and lose her."

"Why?"

"I dunno. Something to do besides talk." He suggested. Rachel thought about it. Angie would tell her to go for it. So she tucked hair behind her ear, flashed Angie an apologetic look, and then mirrored Nigel's grin.

"Lets."

The two kids burst off down the road, feeling the rush of the wind through their hair (Nigel got it full force on the head) and the lightheadedness that followed. Both were fit and could run, from years of being Kids Next Door operatives, and soon they made it across main street and into the path, panting somewhat heavily.

"I think we lost her." Nigel said, laughing a bit. Rachel caught her breath and lent up, stretching her body.

"Yup. I'm sure she'll find us again, later." She said. Nigel moved along the path, and Rachel didn't notice it while they ran, but he was still holding her hand. They trudged through the humid and dank path, the canopy of trees blocked the sun from shining through, apart from a few beams, which reflected off the nature along the path.

"I've always thought this path was quite beautiful." Nigel said, pulling Rachel along. Rachel nodded her agreement.

"I'd have to agree with you, Nigel." The sun was just starting to slump behind the horizon, and the changing hues of the light made that obvious. After disconnecting her hand from Nigels, Rachel stood in one of the beams, liking how warm the sun felt against her back and how she felt like she was glowing.

"Hey Nigel, look at this! I'm shinning!"

"You look like an Angel, Rachel." Nigel said with a smile. Rachel giggled, and the faintest of pink fell onto her cheeks.

How did he always know just what to say? "Lizzie's lucky to have you as her boyfriend." Rachel sighed. It took her a moment before she realized she said it out loud. She raised her hands and clamped them to her mouth. Did she really just-?

Nigel gave no sign of acknowledging that statement.

"I was just wondering, Rachel…" He started. "Why you yourself don't have a boyfriend. You're sweet, and I think any guy would be lucky to have you"

Rachel felt the grin spread onto her face. "Well thank you, Nigel, but as you know being a supreme commander takes almost all of my time. I don't think any guy, even if he liked me that much, would be able to cope with that. We'd hardly get to spend time together, and besides- I'd be their boss. Who wants their girlfriend as their boss?" she gave a lighthearted giggle.

"I would." Nigel said without thinking. He soon realized what he'd said, and turned around.

"I-I mean, just thinking about it, I don't think that the boy should be so concerned about those kinds of things." Nigel said. Rachel moved closer to him and grabbed his hand again.

"Well Nigel, we should try finding my locket now, shouldn't we?" She asked softly. Nigel gave her a nod, and as the sun moved in the sky, starting to set. Rachel set to work, scavenging around in the bushes. She needed to find Angie, because Angie had the locket. Or so she thought.

Meanwhile, Lizzie and Harvey jogged to the path, and noticed the sun was making the leaves glow. While Lizzie took notice of the Harvey did no such thing.

"Get in there and win him or I'll kick you."

"You're violent." Lizzie snapped. "I'll hug you if you don't treat me with respect!"

"Just hurry up, you!" Harvey said, moving into the forest part of the path, the more overgrown and dangerous part. Lizzie moved down the jogging path, her hands stuffed in the pockets of her jacket. She looked around and spotted Rachel searching in the undergrowth. Ignoring the girl completely, she moved towards Nigel and tapped his shoulder.

"Lizzie?" he asked.

"Shh." Lizzie said, placing a finger to her lips and heading farther down the path, gesturing for him to follow. Nigel gave Rachel a look of slight worry, but followed his girlfriend nevertheless.

The path lead up a small hill, with a hole in the trees, which was just as big as the flat part of the hilltop was. At the top Lizzie stood, glancing out beyond the path at the lake. The sun was fading, and the colors reflected in the water. Purples, blues, and oranges. She let a soft sigh escape her lips. Nigel blinked, reaching the top.

"What is it, Lizzie?" He asked. "Why are you here?"

"I could ask you the same thing!" Lizzie said loudly. "You're here with that supreme commander, what's-her-name."

"Rachel. It's Rachel, Lizzie." The way he corrected her made Lizzie's heart sting.

"You talk about her like she's so important. Like she's more important than me, your girlfriend." Lizzie folded her arms and glared at the water through her burred eyes. "And I HATE it!"

"Lizzie, you're jealous." Nigel said. "I care about her, yes, but there's no way we could be like that. Besides, I'm still your boyfriend." Lizzie was trembling. The once beautiful nature before her now looked ugly. Everything looked ugly at the moment to her.

"For how long?" Lizzie asked, then she broke into sobs. Nigel hesitantly reached a hand out and pulled her closer to him, and stroked her head.

"Calm down, Lizzie." He said. "I'll be your boyfriend for however long you still need me. So stop crying, all right?" He said.

He Didn't notice Rachel creeping up the path to the hill. She saw the scene before her, remained silent, but let herself smile after awhile.

"Oh, there you are Nigel." She said. "I was wondering where you went."

"Why were you with here?" Lizzie exclaimed, gripping Nigel's shirt and shaking him. "Why were you-?"

"I was helping her find her locket." Nigel said. "She said it was quite important, and since she's my friend, I decided I would help her find it."

"Oh, the locket?" Sniff. The locket she never even lost. The one in Harvey's hands.

"Want me to help?" She offered. Nigel glanced at Rachel, who nodded at Lizzie. "Oh, of course. You can help, it would really make us find it faster."

Either she was a very good actress, or she genuinly lost that locket.

Angie sighed. It had taken her little legs about five minutes to run to the path beyond main street, and she was on her hands and knees in the overgrowth, tuckered.

"Ha. You silly path. You think you can obstruct love? No, no you won't. Despite this setback, I'll go find them, and I will have this ready!" She went to pull the locket out of her pocket, as she stood up. She blinked. It wasn't in her left. Not in her right, either.

"Where did it-?"

"Looking for this?" Harvey's voice asked, lined with arrogance. He held the locket by the chain. Once Angie got a clear view of it, he placed it around his neck and latched it secure. Even if he felt stupid, there was no way she could unlatch it from around his neck without breaking it.

"Give it back, Harvey!" Angie demanded. Harvey folded his arms.

"No!"

"GIVE IT BACK!"

"NO!"

"WANNA DIE?"

"If you want it, then come take it from me!" Harvey spat. Angie growled, but then heard the ruffled footsteps of Rachel, moving away. She inched closer, noticing Rachel ascend the hill. She looked up the overgrown path and to her dismay, the hill was littered with branches, vines, and possibly poison ivy. And ticks. Not to mention way steeper. She regretted wearing a skirt.

"I can do it!" She said, brimming with confidance. "I can't back down this easily!" Harvey blinked, seeing as Angie flung herself up the hill, tripping a few times, and cutting her legs quite badly.

"Oy! BE CAREFUL!"

"SINCE WHEN DID YOU CARE?"

Harvey fell silent. He moved to the regular path, walked up the normal hill but before any of the three could notice him, he slipped back into the overgrowth. Angie's hand gripped his leg and he fought a scream.

"Guah! Don't touch me!"

"Shut up and pull me up!" Harvey's eyebrow twitched, before he offered her his hand.

"Get up."

Angie took his hand and he helped her up, but the second that she was safe, he let go of her hand. The two spied on the threesome outside.

"What is this? Why is he hugging her! Oh, poor Rachel!" Angie said. Harvey raised an eyebrow.

"She seems fine."

"She's acting, dummy!" Angie said, biting her shirt and pulling up the collar. While Angie was distracted, Harvey gently reached to his neck and took off the locket.

He needed a clear shot at the lake before he could throw it.
