Am I Doomed To Be Alone?

Sadness & Happiness

Operation E.N.D: 

Everyone 

Nearly 

Decommissioned 

Also, I'm jumping in like at the end since I'm going to add more to this chapter.

My Pov

I was trying to process everything that had happened in the last couple of hours. First, both Genevieve and Madeline both died from different causes(Genevieve died of old age and Madeline had fallen out of the treehouse), someone hacked into the Kids Next Door database and had gotten several sectors decommissioned even though they were no where near 13. Everyone in Sector V, but me and Numbuh 1, had been decommissioned and the person behind it had turned out to be the Supreme Leader and one of a few people who had looked out for me since I joined the KND, Numbuh 274. Right now, me and Numbuh T(Numbuh 2's younger brother Tommy)were tied up in the shuttle pod Chad stole. I looked at Chad with teary eyes. I said something to him, but it wasn't audible through the gag.

Chad: "Sorry, Numbuh 7. Couldn't quite get that."

Me: "I said, I can't believe you'd stoop this low Chad."

Chad: "I'm sorry, Erika. But I can't let the KND find out I'm 13. I don't want to be decommissioned!"

Me: "Chad, doing this is just avoiding the inevitable! They're going to catch you, especially when the remaining KND members find out what you did."

Chad: "You don't understand what it feels like to turn 13. When you do, you'll be doing everything you can to not be decommissioned." I tensed up. Would I really turn into a traitor? Suddenly, Numbuh 4 busted through a window of the pod.

Numbuh 4: "Hello, cruddy teenager. You better give up or I'm gonna... uh... I'll do something..."

Chad: "I don't think so! There's no way a little kid lIke you is going to ruin my plans! Stay still, squirt!" Uh oh...

Numbuh 4: "Don't. Ever. Call. Me. Squirt!" Numbuh 4 punched Chad in the face and knocked him out. "Ha! This Kinds Next Door stuff is kinda-" He gasped at the control panel. "Oh, crud! I don't know how to fly this thing!"

Me: "Numbuh 4! Untie me and Tommy. We know how to fly this thing."

Numbuh 4: "Uh... are you that Numbuh 7 girl that the Numbuh 1 guy told me about?" I nodded. Numbuh 4 untied us and I ran to the controls. I began steering the d back to moon.

Me: "Both of you hold on! We're in for a bumpy landing." We braced ourselves as the pod crashed into the moon and planted itself onto the surface. Numbuh 1 reeled in the Moonbase using the giant fishing fishing hook Numbuh 4 had planted on the pod. Once the Moonbase was back in place, the steel cuff clamped back over the tree's roots, holding it in place. We gathered into the Moonbase and we're given an apology by Numbuh 86.

Numbuh 86: "I've never said this to anyone, but uh... thank ya. And as for this teenage jerk, send him to decommissioning room 2! I'll deal with him in a second!" I watched as they lead Chad away. Numbuh 86 then turned to my teammates. "Listen. I'm not suppose to do this, just between you and me, I can have you guys recomissioned if you'd like. Think about it."

Numbuh 1: "So, what'd you say guys? Me and Numbuh 7 would like to have our old team back."

Numbuh 5: "Well, you guys are crazy and this whole organization is even crazier! But... what the heck? I've got nothin' better to do."

Numbuh 2: "I'm in too."

Numbuh 3: "Me three!"

Numbuh 4: "Me too, 4!"

Tommy: "What about me?"

Numbuh 1: "Well Numbuh T, you've certainly earned a spot in the Kids Next Door."

Tommy: "Whoo-hoo! I can't wait to hang out in the treehouse and go on missions!"

Me: "Hang on there, Numbuh T. All kids who are accepted into the KND have to first go to the academy before being assigned anywhere."

Tommy: "Oh. Where's that at?"

Me & Numbuh 1: "In the coldest part of Antarctica." The others were recomissioned and we returned to our treehouse. Numbuh 86 informed me later on that Chad had escaped. Great. That was another operative that escaped decommissioning, the other being Numbuh 5's sister Cree. I went up to my room and saw a 2 boxes, wrapped in pretty decorative paper with ribbons on the lids, on my bed that hadn't been there a few seconds before. I saw a letter and card in two seperate envelopes with 'Eri' written in cursive. I knew they were from Chad because he was one of only two people who called me Eri, the other being David. I was about to throw it away, but decided to read it first.

Dear Erika,

If you're reading this, then you've discovered I've escaped from being decommissioned. You are the only other person, aside from Rachel, who will know this; the only reason I tried to send the Moonbase into the sun was because Cree was planning to do the same thing. Since I'm 13 now, I can't be part of the KND anymore, but I will be part of the TND(Teenagers Next Door). It's a secret organization that only the most loyal operatives become a part of. These operatives keep their memories of the KND and continue to fight adult tyranny as teens. From what I hear, there are even adult agents. I can still help you, but when in public, we are enemies. I hope you'll believe me. Also, keep the necklace I gave on the night of the cotillion.

- Chad Dickson (AKA Numbuh 274)

I re-read the letter several times. I decided to believe him. I opened the flat box and gasped. It was my Sector Z uinform and my B.U.B.B.L.E.W.A.N.D. How did he get these? I clutched my uniform close to me. I looked at the larger box box when it jolted up. I fell off my bed and looked at the box. I slowly took off the lid and heard yapping. I looked and felt tears fill my eyes. There were two yorkie poo puppies that didn't look any older than 5 weeks old. One was all brown and the other was a light cream color. I picked them both up and held them my hands. The brown one was a boy and the cream one was a girl.

Me: "I think I'll call you Chocolate and I'll call you Vanilla." I opened the card. It read 'Happy Birthday' on the front.

Happy early birthday. I remember you talking about how much you wanted a dog and you seemed depressed after your pets died. So, I went to my neighbors, who were giving away puppies their dog had, told them about you and they gave me the last two puppies. They can be accepted into the KND, but will need to go through training. With you training them, they should get there in no time. Also, the night Sector Z disappeared, I managed to save your uniform and weapon when Father threw them out. I've held on to them this whole time.

I smiled as a tear slid down my face. Chad had been my mentor since I lost my team, but he had also been like a big brother. He always looked out for me and always told me not to lose hope.

Me: "Thank you Chad. I'll never forget this." I changed into my pjs and went to bed, with my new puppies curling up to me.

Okay, I'm sorry if none of you like this chapter, but I wanted to add something more to this chapter. Also, Chocolate looks like Lucy's puppy and Vanilla looks like Wanta. Both are from 'Elfen Lied'.
