After what felt like forever, Cindy was thrown out and she was on a wooden floor with Numbuh 1 in a chair in front of her and Numbuh 3 and Numbuh 5 on his sides.
"Oh... Hello..." Cindy greeted them, but looked annoyed from them kidnapping her. "A phone call would've been nice..."
"Sorry about that, but this is the only choice we have to send in recruits." Numbuh 1 replied.
Cindy rubbed herself and stood up.
"Now Cindy, pay attention... This moment can change your life," Numbuh 1 told her as the girl operatives beside him held out different lollipops. "The red one is the cherry, the sweet and delicious sucker that will take you right back home and you'll have no memory of what happened, this moment will be just a dream... However, if you take the blue one, the sour and tangy boysenberry, there's no turning back... So, what do you say?"
"Ooh..." Cindy frowned. "I hate sour... But... I guess I have no choice..." she shakily reached for the lollipop that Numbuh 5 was holding, took it in her hand and started to lick it, flinching from the sourness and whined, falling flat on the floor.
"She's in." Numbuh 5 stated, now that it was official.
"Excellent," Numbuh 1 confirmed. "Now, we-" he then noticed one of his fellow operatives not paying attention. "Numbuh 2, what are you doing?"
"I'm thinking about Abby Nelson," Numbuh 2 admitted. "What a woman..."
This made the others roll their eyes to him.
Cindy recovered from the sour lollipop she was forced to take.
"Can we really trust this girl?" Numbuh 4 remembered the last time they had a recruit. "I mean, what if it's those twins who live above a mountain or whatever?"
"She's not, Numbuh 2 did an analysis on her to check for anything weird." Numbuh 1 told him.
"When did you search me!?" Cindy freaked out.
"I got in trouble for causing a food fight about a week before you moved in," Numbuh 2 looked to her as he was at a computer. "My punishment was to put folders together and I saw your personal file from your old school."
"I feel so violated..." Cindy felt nervous now.
"Don't worry, Cindy," Numbuh 3 beamed. "I can tell you're a good person. I always see you hanging out with friends, even though some of them are teenagers."
"Teenagers..." Numbuh 1 hid a scowl, he still hated some of them, but learned that they weren't all bad.
"You got sent to the principal's office just for singing in the hallway?" Numbuh 2 read from the computer.
"Someone told me he had a strict no singing or dancing policy," Cindy shuffled her foot. "I didn't think she was serious."
"You got in more trouble than I did, Cindy." Numbuh 4 replied.
"That's sayin' somethin'," Numbuh 5 chuckled. "At least this girl has a brain though."
This made everybody else laugh, except for Numbuh 4.
"Hey, I got a brain!" Numbuh 4 glared at them, then tapped his head. "I don't even need a calculator in Math Class!"
"Spell calculator..." Cindy smirked, putting her hands behind her back.
"Q-A-C-U-" Numbuh 4 attempted to spell, then thought about it, but then glared at the girl. "Later!" he then stormed off.
"Don't worry, Cindy, Numbuh 4 is just a big 'ol sourpuss." Numbuh 3 giggled.
"I see that..." Cindy smiled a little. "So, do I get a codename?"
"Of course, you must..." Numbuh 1 told her. "However, you need to go to Moonbase, meet Numbuh 362 and she will give you your official name."
"Numbuh 362's a girl!?" Cindy sounded surprised. "I thought she was a boy all this time..."
"No, she's a girl, no worries." Numbuh 5 told her.
"And a lot more pleasant than Numbuh 86." Numbuh 2 mumbled under his breath.
"Definitely." Numbuh 1 agreed.
