My Pov

It was final days of summer vacation and I had spent my summer reading, drawing and swimming. Also, I had been aiding Sector V of the Kids Next Door. I was of course still part of the KND and Father wasn't going to change that. Right now, I was peacefully reading a Pokémon handbook(yes, I was obsessed with Pokémon). I was on the page with Eevee and its eight evolutions, when I heard my doorknob turning. I threw the book under my bed and grabbed the copy of the dictionary that was laying on my nightstand and opened it to a random page. The door opened to reveal my "siblings", the Delightful Children From Down The Lane.

"Oh, it's just all of you." I said, flatly. I put the boring chapter book down and picked up my handbook.

"Dear sister, why do you insist on staying in your room and avoid being with us?" the Delightful Children asked. Their talking in unison always freaked me out. The reason I didn't want to be near them was because I saw them as a constant reminder of what a weakling and failure I was.

Me: "It's called I like being alone." I said.

"You've been this way for nearly five years now. Father doesn't approve of this behavior." the Delightful Children said.

"I've always been this way." I said. They shook their heads in disagreement.

"No, it's those KNDimwits that cause you to act unpolite." the Delightful Children said. I glared at them.

"You want me to be polite? Okay, then would you all please get the hell out of my room?"

"Language." the Delightful Children warned. They left, closing the door behind them. I stuck my tongue out at them. They may have my team's bodies, but as far as was concerned, my team was gone forever. Father told me the reason that the machine had exploded was because it had blown a fuse, causing the power of the machine to increase eleventy-billion fold. It had made the effects of the Delightfulization permanent. There was no way my team could ever be changed back. I went back to reading, when my communicator started beeping. I picked it and opened it. Numbuh 1's face appeared.

"What's up, Numbuh 1?" I asked.

"Numbuh 7, we have a situation. I need for you to get to the treehouse, ASAP!" Numbuh 1 exclaimed. This had to be serious if they were calling me in at night, knowing i had a curfew. I pressed the middle of the flower on vanity, opening the hidden hatch in the middle of my room. I jumped in, sliding down a path until I popped up on the treehouse balcony. My clothes had changed and my hair was pulled back into a ponytail. This outfit reflected my real self. I ran inside, but it was pitch-black.

"Guys? Where are you?" I asked. All of sudden, a force from behind me pushed me to the floor. Whoever it was, grabbed my arm and pulled me up. I looked and saw someone dressed in a purple and blue suit and wearing a large, halo-shaped retainer. "Who are you?!"

"I am Knightbrace, the Enamel Avenger!" The man exclaimed. Enamel Avenger? "I've taken it upon myself to right wrongs by forcing kids to brush and floss! Wait a minute." He forced my mouth open. "Your teeth are perfect! They're clean, white and not full of holes! Finally, a kid who brushes like they're suppose to!" He let go of my arm and I hit the floor.

"Not like I have a choice..." I mumbled. The only reason my teeth were healthy and not rotted out like a normal kid's was because Father would be standing over me while I brushed my teeth and would make sure I had brushed every night. Sector V would always try to help with rotting my teeth, but it wouldn't last. That's when I realized my team wasn't in the treehouse. I had carefully crept out of the treehouse and started looking for them. I soon found them at the dentist's office. "What are you all doing here- what in the world happened to all of you?" Numbuh 5 and 2 were tied together to the mouth with dental floss, Numbuh 4 was wearing giant braces and Numbuh 3's teeth were so shiny and bright, it was blinding.

"Some dental-obsessed adult called-" Numbuh 1 began, but I stopped him.

"Knightbrace. I've met him. Left me alone since my teeth are fine." I said.

"If worse comes to worse, you'll have to handle him." Numbuh 1 said. I glupped. That's when Knightbrace appeared out of nowhere. He attacked each of us, but my team used the dental-based traps Knightbrace had put on them to help pin him down. Numbuh 1 pulled off his mask revealing Mr. Jelly, the candy shop owner. Mr. Jelly went on about how he wanted to be a dentist, but his extreme ideas got him kicked out of school and he was forced to work in his family's candy shop. It drove him over the edge, which is why he became Knightbrace. He then hopped into the dentist chair, causing it to transform into a machine. He used toothpaste to pin Numbuhs 2, 3, 4 and 5 to the walls. "Look out!" Numbuh 1 pushed me out of the way. Three mouth hooks latched on to his mouth and pulled him toward Knightbrace.

"Numbuh 1!" I exclaimed. I had to do something. That's when I remembered the candy shop was right next door. I busted in and found the 1 thing I knew Mr. Jelly couldn't resist; taffy. I grabbed a long rope of it and ran back to the dentist office. "Hey, Knightbrace! Taste this!" I lassoed the taffy around his head and he tasted it.

"Taffy? Oh, I love taffy!" Jelly exclaimed. He began gobbling it which cause to to get twisted in the machine and jammed it. Numbuh 1 dropped to the ground.

"Numbuh 1!" I exclaimed. I helped pull the hooks out of his mouth.

"Nice work, Numbuh 7." Numbuh 1 said. With a little work, we managed to get the dental floss off Numbuhs 2 and 5 and got the heavy braces off Numbuh 4. As for Numbuh 3, eating candy would get her teeth rotted again.

"I need to head back before Father does a bed check on me." I said. I pressed a button on 1 of my bracelets opening a hatch under my feet. I was back in my room and in my nightgown.

"What was that?" A voice boomed. It was Father. I jumped into bed, closed my eyes and started breathing like I would if I was asleep. I had my back to the door, so I cracked an eye open as the door opened. I saw Father's silhouette. I kept breathing normally. He closed the door and I heard footsteps leading away. I let out a sigh of relief and tried to go to sleep for real.
