The Luck Of The Draw

KND Operation: H.O.P.E - Part 2

I made and own the artwork above. It's Nicole drawn in the KND art style. I hope she came out alright! I know I forgot the "e" in "Nicole", but I'll try to get to fixing it later. My dyslexia got the best of me this time it seems lol.

Sorry for taking so long to update any stories - life is busy, life is hectic, and sadly in a lot of cases, life comes first before writing.

Setting; Codename: Kids Next Door (KND)

OC; Hope Honey - OC I made and created who has been used in other stories before, including this book

Death; ???? - Doesn't remember

Reincarnated As; Herself, only in a different world/setting

Pairings; Nigel Uno/Hope Honey, one-sided relationships, ?????

H.O.P.E - Honey Our Purpose Evolves

I'm glad that you all think that Hope and Nigel make a cute couple too. After thinking if it should be Nicole or Hope when I was first thinking this story out, I figured that Hope would fit the best in this position and setting.

Please know that while I will be using episodes and ideas from the cartoon, were the episodes I do use have a chance of being out of order (especially earlier episodes in the series), this is not going to be canon. I already have a sequel idea to this story. Meaning, there will be plots and things going on that never went on in canon!KND. It won't end the same either in this story like it did in the show. Just a heads up. Might be more serious in some places or overall give time and as the story goes on - much like the show did now that I'm thinking about it. In any case, just wanted to let everyone know so I don't get complaints about what is going on in the story.

Now, onto the story! Let's jump right in like how the cartoon does!

-Chapter Start-

'You know, when I agreed to be Nigel's girlfriend a week ago, I should have expected to be kidnapped at least once. Given how important he is and all the possible enemies he has and might have in the future.' Hope thought to herself in a strange calm way as she sat on a very comfortable, old-fashioned looking, sofa. 'Although, on the other hand, I wonder about the laws in this place! I mean, who the heck pays to go to a Zoo filled with kidnapped children? That sounds like a horror film in the making. Wouldn't the parents and police be storming this place?'

Glancing at the bars that kept her trapped in the rather large, and strangely very nice and comfortable, cage and then shifting her gaze to the other cages in sight and various kids in them, Hope could only decide to put all her questions in 'Cartoon Logic' for the moment. At least her cage has a couch, cushions, a coffee table, a comfy looking chair, rug, a few paintings hanging up on the bars, a lamp, a record player and weirdly enough a small fridge filled with drinks and snacks. Felt like a weird hotel. More on the creepy side because of the whole being taken against her will, but at least she doesn't have to worry about dying via hunger. Gives others time to stage a riot and get out or for the KND to bust this whole place up.

Only if her Mother doesn't do that first. Say what you want about the adults in this weird world, but Bunny Honey is not a woman to mess with on any given day and Hope knows that her Mother would storm any place for her and make any and all people, children to adults, rue the day they decided it would be a fine idea to do something to her.

'Then again, Nicole is the most likely one to start the riot first before Mama finds out I'm gone or for Nigel and the others to notice. It's not like I made plans with Nigel today and Mama thinks I'm staying the night at Nicole's.' "You know, this is a well thought out kidnapping plan in my case." Hope hummed under her breath as she thought to herself. Glancing to the empty cage from across from her, Hope could only wonder where her best friend/older-sister-not-by-DNA is.
