---------------------------------------
Numbuhs 83 and 84 (Sonia and Lee) looked around the stage from the table.

Shauny had been promoted to the Moonbase to take care of papers

They looked around at the hundreds of teary-eyed operatives around them

They had grown a little, became taller. Sonia turned her pig tails into a high ponytail

"So... we're doing this again." Sonia said to Lee and the other operative across the table

"Yup." Lee said dryly

"Last one..." Sonia added

The two young operatives looked at there friend: Numbuh 3, or, sorry, Kuki. She had grown up, too - being separated from the best friends who kept you safe for over 3 years does that.

Her hair in a high ponytail. Her sneakers traded for doll shoes. A cute green mini skirt, black leggings, green and white blouse.

She and Numbuh 4 had been transferred to Sector W after Numbuh 2'a decommissioning and they had grown close.

Since Sector V was such an inspirational sector, they each got the opportunity, or more like requirement, to be decommissioned on a stage, much like Numbuh 9.

Numbuh 3 kept quiet.

"Uh, Numbuh 3, you okay?" Numbuh 83 asked

No reply

"We get it." Numbuh 83 said, looking down "We'll miss you. More than you can know."

The older kid... or more like teen... just nodded. This was the most quiet anyone had ever seen her.

No tears, just silence.

"Numbuh 3, it's time." the new decommissioning officer said

She blew out the candles and spoke, only because she was required to give a speech.

"Kids Next Door,"she said loudly, releasing all the emotional energy in here. "I need to be honest; I can't do this anymore, anyway! I miss my friends! I miss Numbuh 4, Numbuh 5, Numbuh 2 and Numbuh 1! I said it! But we set a name for ourselves, one I hope you will all follow in. I could run away. I could have gone and tracked down my old friends. But I didn't. So, fellow Kids Next Door," she paused, holding back tears. "Goodbye. I don't know if I'll be meanie, but if I do, please, fight me. Kids Next Door Rule!"

The crowd roared "Kids Next Door Rule!"

"Numbuh 3, you can blow out the candles..."

She looked at the cake. How ironic, she loved birthdays. Maybe she... she... maybe she grew up. Maybe she's just in a bad mood.

"Be a good sport. What would Numbuh 1 say? What would Numbuh 5 say?" she says in her head

She blows out the candles "1.3."

She followed the little operative to the chamber

Suddenly four arms stop her in a hug.

She looks back at Numbuhs 83 and 84, her last friends.

"Bye, Kuki." Sonia said

"Thanks for, y'know, teaching us and stuff. You're our bestest friend. Please at least try to stay a kid at heart." Lee begged

Kuki examined them and smiled

"That's the most you've ever said, Lee. Don't worry. You take care, okay? Sonia? Lee?"

They looked up at her and nodded with a smile.

She walked into the
decommissioning chamber.

It's over.
