Eating

~Ella's POV~

Abby rounds a corner of the mansion and almost seemed shocked to be face-to-face with its residents.

Delightful Children: Dear me, if it isn't Numbuh 5 of the illustrious Kids Next Door. We do not recall inviting you into our humble home.

Behind the Delightful Children was a suit of armory that was on fire.

Delightful Children: Sir Toasty will have to chastise you.

Sir Toasty: Time to toast Kid Next Door!

Abby grabs a fire extinguisher.

Abby: Don't move.

Delightful Children: You think a fire extinguisher's going to help you?

Abby: Hmm.

She smiles, angles the nozzle down, propelling herself over the obstacle. She lands and continues her journey.

Delightful Children: Get her, Sir Toasty.

Sir Toasty growls as Abby keeps running. The escape door starts to close, making Abby throw the fire extinguisher as a barricade. She leaps and slides underneath the door, making it out but makes a final look back to retrieve her hat.

Abby: Adios, Delightful Dorks.

She chuckles as she walks away.

Delightful Children: Adios, Kids Next Door.

Bruce holds Abby's real hat while they giggle.

Alastor's POV

Sector V except Abby sigh while sitting around a giant bowl. They gasp upon hearing a thud.

Abby: Numbuh 5's got the goods.

The rest of the operatives happily gasp upon seeing Abby's goods.

Abby: Tortilla chips. Compliments of the Delightful Children From Down The Lane.

Abby pours some chips in the bowl.

Abby: So Numbuh 5 says, "dig in."

She pours cheese sauce over the chips as the six operatives chow down.

Wally: You know, you could've just went to the deli on the corner.

Abby: Come on, you know chips always taste better when you take them from those Delightful Chumps.

Alastor: Besides, Numbuh 4, lots of things taste better when they're stolen.

Wally: Oh yeah, like what?

Alastor: Like chips, candy...

Abby: Your heart by that one Delightful.

Alastor: My heart by that one-

Alastor stops eating, widens her eye and looks angrily at Abby.

Alastor: Hey!

Abby chuckles as her gothic friend resumes eating. Abby dips her chip in the cheese but keeps getting delayed on its taste because of her head itching, multiple times.

Wally: What's the matter?

Alastor: Are you feeling okay, Numbuh 5?

Abby: That chase must've taken more out of me than I thought.

Hoagie: Aw, come on. Have some cheese.

He offers an outstretched nacho but Abby denies it by walking away and groaning. Abby screams as a big lice big rips through her hat and sits on her head. It leaps down and crawls out of sight. Kuki starts laughing while the others stare in shock.

Kuki: That was funny. Do it again.

Hoagie: What was that, Numbuh 1?

Nigel: Lice, and not just any kind. These lice are hungry for hair!

Abby is revealed to have her head be bald but still has her braid.

Wally and Hoagie: Ew!

Abby pats her head.

Abby: Wait till I get my hands on that bug! I'm gonna-

Kuki and Alastor put hands on Abby's back.

Kuki: Gosh, Numbuh 5, you look so...so...funny! Wait here. I'm gonna get my camera.

Kuki runs off.

Alastor: NOT THE TIME, NUMBUH 3!

Wally: Uh, here's your hat back, Numbuh 5.

Wally hands Abby her torn to shreds hat.

Abby: Hey, this ain't Numbuh 5's hat.

Nigel's fist meets his palm.

Nigel: Those Delightful Children must've given you a lice-infested hat.

Alastor: Of course they'd pull a stunt like this.

Hoagie: But shouldn't you know about this, Numbuh 6?

Alastor: O que? (What)?

Nigel: You are rather infatuated with one of them.

Alastor blushes and frantically waved her arms up and down.

Alastor: I AM NOT!

Hoagie seemingly shrieks.

Nigel: Easy, Numbuh 2. Numbuh 6 denying her obvious crush is not that surprising.

Alastor groans and lets out a frustrated scream.

Hoagie: That wasn't me.

Wally: That came from Numbuh 3's room. Come on!

They run out, with Hoagie taking the chip bowl, and inspect Kuki's room.

Nigel: Numbuh 3-oh!

They find all her stuffed animals torn to shreds.

Kuki: Mr. Mopsy. Oh, Cuddlestiltskin. Wrinkle, Tinkle, Pinkle Mouse.

Nigel: That's okay, Numbuh 3. We'll get you some new toys.

Kuki: Toys? I don't want toys.

Kuki faces her teammates with an evil fire in her eyes.

Kuki: I want revenge!

Wally: What's the big deal? Nobody got hurt.

Kuki roughly picks Wally up by his collar.

Kuki: Say that again, Squirt, and then we'll see if nobody's hurt!

Kuki angrily walks away. Abby walks in with a new hat for herself.

Abby: All Right. Numbuh 3 lost her friends, and I lost my favorite hat along with most of my hair. So who else wants to find some bugs to squash?

Wally: Um...I think they've already found us!

Kuki's teddy bear bed is revealed to be in the middle of getting eaten by multiple lice bugs.

Hoagie: W-What do we d-do n-now?

Nigel: Follow my lead.

Nigel runs out of Kuki's room with his hands in the air.

Nigel: Run!

His teammates follow close behind as the lice bugs give chase. The operatives run into a room and the last three ones hold the door close. The first three join their teammates as the lice try to get the door opened.

Nigel: I think they've gone.

Hoagie: Gosh, I hope so. These things give me the-oop!

Hoagie accidentally backs into a big lice bug.

Hoagie: Heebie-Jeebies!

Hoagie screams, throwing up the nacho bowl and running back to his teammates while the bug lets out a monstrous growl. The nacho bowl falls on its head as it screeches as though the cheese were acid. Sector V watches as the bug disintegrates in front of them.

Nigel: Well, at least we now know they don't like nacho cheese very much. So here's what we're gonna do. The modifications we've made to our weapons have made them able to handle the zesty, full-bodied flavor of nacho cheese. We can thanks Numbuhs 2 and 6 for working so hard in such limited time.

Alastor curtsies while Hoagie salutes.

Alastor: Anytime, boss.

They all put in their C.H.E.E.Z.O.O.C.K.A.s.

Nigel: These lice don't like nacho cheese, and we don't like them. So the minute you get one in your sights, hose 'em down with everything you've got.

Kuki puts a stuffed animal around her waist.

Nigel: Any questions.

Kuki shakes her head, answering for the team.

Nigel: So...then let's juice up.

Nigel pulls the string for the cheese only to find it's been cut off by another big lice bug. It screams upon being spotted and flees the scene of the crime.

Nigel: Uh-oh.

Wally dips a finger in a large bowl of cheese.

Wally: Not much cheese left for our weapons, Numbuh 1.

Abby: We'll have to get more at the source.

Nigel: Right. From down in the kitchen. We'll have to fight our way up through the treehouse and get to the cheese repository on Level 67. Then we can load our weapons to full from the main tank. Until then, we'll have to ration what we've got.

Sector V started loading up their C.H.E.E.Z.O.O.C.K.A.s.

Nigel: Kids Next Door, let's get that cheese.

Wally: Ain't nothing gonna happen, 'cause I ain't afraid.

Nigel puts a hand on Wally's shoulder.

Nigel: Hey, Num-

Wally screams and sprays cheese out of a fight or flight situation. Only after he stops does he see his Sector covered in cheese.

Nigel: Go cover the rear, Numbuh 4.

Wally: Ah, got to keep cool. Nothing's gonna happen. I'm cool. I'm cool. I'm ice, baby. No cruddy lice is gonna sneak up on me. No, sir. Lice don't sneak up on ice. It ain't nice for lice to sneak up on ice. Those lice better think twice, 'cause it's no dice for those lice.

Wally's mumbling got cut short when he separated from his team.

Wally's scream rings throughout the treehouse, alerting his friends.

Abby: That was Numbuh 4.

Abby runs off only to come back a second later.

Abby: Ru-u-u-n!

Sector V except Wally follow Abby and run. Multiple lice bugs chase after them. Nigel kicks open a door to reveal a bridge.

Nigel: Uh-oh.

Abby: I'm too young to be bald.

Alastor: The phthiraptera will be here any second.

Hoagie: That's even more scary because I have no idea what you're saying, Numbuh 6!

Alastor: What do you think I'm talking about, Numbuh 2?! Hot dogs?!

Nigel: Enough!

Kuki: You guys go on.

Nigel: What are you-nuts?!

Kuki: Mr. Mopsy and me got a little score to settle. Go!

Abby, Hoagie, and Alastor go on.

Nigel: Numbuh 3, are you-

Kuki: Go!

Nigel walks off.

An explosion goes off.

Hoagie: Numbuh 3!

Abby: We can't stop now. Come on.

The remaining operatives go forth. They start climbing stairs but Hoagie trips.

Nigel: Numbuh 2, are you all right?

Hoagie: Yeah. I'm all-

Hoagie gets pulled back by the lice bugs.

Nigel: Numbuh 2!

Hoagie starts getting bitten by the lice.

Hoagie: Save yourselves! Go! My hair will hold them off!

Hoagie screams.

Abby: Let's go. There's nothing we can do for him.

Hoagie screams then laughs.

Hoagie: Hey, that tickles.

Nigel: Come on, Numbuh 6.

Alastor: No, a good operative never leaves a man behind, boss.

Nigel: But Numbuhs 3 and 4 you left-

Alastor grabs Nigel by his shirt collar.

Alastor: (German accent) I couldn't do anythink for zem! Siz I can.

Alastor pushes Nigel back.

Nigel: Good luck, Numbuh 6.

He salutes as Alastor drops her C.H.E.E.Z.O.O.C.K.A.

Alastor: FÜR NUMMER ZWEI (FOR NUMBUH 2)!

Alastor yells and jumps into the pile of lice bugs, only for those yells to be turned to screams as her hair starts to get eaten.

~Time skip since Alastor and Hoagie's hair are being used as a buffet meal~

An explosion sounds as the Sector V treehouse becomes oozing with trees.

~Ella's POV~

The Delightful Children are walking through the park. They accidentally trip over someone's foot as Lenny's helmet rolls over to a person reading a newspaper.

???: You dropped this, youngster.

The person hands the helmet back.

Delightful Children: Thank you, adult person.

Lenny takes back his helmet and puts it on. However, he seems to always be scratching at the helmet (A/N: Which does nothing to his scalp) as the Delightful Children walk away.

~Alastor's POV~

The Delightful Children walk away as the newspaper is dropped down to reveal Sector V, bald, and covered in cheese. They played the same trick on the Delightful Children as Alastor holds the proper headpiece in her hands.

(Redraw is mine, original scene belongs to Mr. Warburton. I know it looks like Hoagie's arm got eaten off by that's how the pic was)

They start laughing.

End transmission

~Extra scene~ (A/N: This will be short, just a heads up)

Wally: What happened to those pins you put in your hair, Numbuh 6?

Kimi: I have no clue, Numbuh 4. If the bugs are then then I'm tracking them down and getting them back one way or another.

Sector V except Alastor: Ew!

Alastor: Oh, sure. That's gross but not what just happened to us!

Sector V start laughing as Alastor stops laughing to gasp at someone walking down the walkway. Kuki and Hoagie hold up the newspaper to conceal all their identities.

Wally: (whispering) What's the big idea?!

Alastor: (whispering) Do you want someone to see us covered in cheese and bald?!

Wally: Touché.

The person pasts as the newspaper is lowered and Sector V sighs, Alastor wearing the helmet that was in her hands.

Nigel: Why are you wearing that, Numbuh 6?

Alastor: I just don't want anyone to see me bald.

Alastor closes her eyes and crosses her arms.

Abby: Are you sure it has nothing to do with your crush on that kid?

The rest of Sector V look knowingly at a blush-y Alastor as she yanks off the helmet, holding in under her arm.

Alastor: See! No sentimental value.

Hoagie: Suuure.

Alastor: Let's just get back to the treehouse so no one can see us like this.

Sector V except Alastor walk in the direction of the treehouse while Alastor stays back for a second. She puts the helmet back on, gives a closed eyed smile and follows her teammates.

~Trivia~

- Alastor speaks German before jumping into the pile of lice, she also spoke with a German accent when talking to Nigel, signaling her past life (A/N: If you don't believe in these then I'm sorry but please go along with it for this story)

- The ending is another instant of Alastor somehow revealing that she likes Lenny

- This is the first time Alastor's heterochromic irises are shown for the first time as they were shown after her hair gets eaten
