"NO!"
The day was normal, Kacey, Raleigh, (Numbuh 16) David, and Christian were all hanging out on the fence by the tree-house.
If you're wondering why David screamed, it's because he saw a squirrel, threw a pebble at it, and missed.
"Dude, it's not the end of the world." Raleigh said.
"Says the girl who has major spaz attacks during class." David argued.
"You're not even IN my class!" Raleigh said.
"Hey, he's not lying." Kacey said.
None of them noticed, but Christian had left.
"Shut up." Raleigh told them.
"Wait, where'd Christian go?" David asked.
All three turned to see Christian walking up the small hill.
"Dude! He ditched us!" David yelled.
Raleigh smacked him with her water bottle.
"Hey, what happened?" Kacey had caught up to Christian.
"You know what? I just wanna be alone." Christian said.
Kacey felt hurt. "OK."
Christian left and went back to his house.
"Ugh! Is he emo again?" David asked.
"Well, he certainly is acting like it." Kacey said.
"Guys, can you call me Herb?" Raleigh randomly asked.
"We already do." Kacey said. "Sometimes."
"No. It's a stupid name." David said.
He was hit again.
"Well, I'm officially bored." Kacey said. She laid in the grass.
"BUTTERFLY!" David yelled. He chased after it.
Raleigh rolled her eyes. "How are you still friends with him?" She asked.
"I really don't know, myself." Kacey said.
Raleigh sat in the grass. She tossed her red squishy ball across the grass. David stopped chasing the butterfly, and grabbed the ball instead.
"Man, I wanna soda." Kacey complained. "DAVID!" She whistled. David came over.
"Yeah?"
"Be our servant."
"No!"
Kacey waved her hands around. "You WANT to go get us sodas." She said in a perfect Obi-Wan Kenobi impression. "And these aren't the droids you're looking for." Raleigh snickered, but David went off to the convenience store.
When he got back, the girls drank the sodas, and played the pass the hat game.
The object of the game was to swing on the swings and pass Kacey's hat to each other without dropping it, or stopping.
But here's the catch: it only works with two players.
So they put David behind them to make sure they were passing the hat perfectly.
After about three rounds, and 10 minutes of arguing, Raleigh won.
Kacey scoffed. "Cheater."
"Correction: You CAN'T cheat in Pass the Hat." David said.
"Shut up." Kacey said. Then, they caught Wally out of the corner of their eyes running down the hill.
"Whaddya want, Short-Stuff?" David asked.
Wally's hair was messed up, he was sweating, and looked really worried.
"Kuki....Rainbow Monkeys...Ripped!" He managed to spit out.
Raleigh's eyes got huge.
Before we continue, I'd like to tell you something about Raleigh.
Expect the unexpected.
"WHAT!? WE MUST SAVE THEM!" Raleigh screamed.
And she ran up the hill.
"Spaz." David said. Wally charged after Raleigh, followed by Kacey, and David.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"NO!! WHY? WHY ME? WHY NOW?" Kuki screamed. Abby was rubbing Kuki's back.
"It's OK." She said.
"NO! It's not!" Kuki yelled.
"God, no need to be pushy." Abby said.
Kacey, Wally, Raleigh, and David came through the door.
"Who died?" Raleigh screamed. And she flipped out.
"Is she having a spaz attack again?" Hoagie asked.
"Yup." David said.
"Wow, I thought she was over those." Hoagie said.
"Not a chance." Kacey warned.
Kuki screamed from upstairs again.
The kids ran up the stair-case.
"Ew!" Kacey screamed when they reached Kuki's room. "It looks like a cloud puked."
Raleigh coughed. Her nose was red, and she looked like she was gonna pass out. "Allergies."
"Kuki!" Wally yelled. He jumped next to her.
"Wow, he's way worse than I thought." David said.
"You should have seen him at Sing-A-Song." Kacey said.
"WHO COULD HAVE DONE THIS?!" Kuki screamed.
"Well, there's one way to find out." Kacey said. She left the room. She returned dressed as Sherlock Holmes. David got wide-eyed.
"We're gonna dress ugly?" He asked.
Kacey smacked him.
"You're not one to talk." Raleigh said. "Look at YOUR choice of fashion."
David growled.
"You idiots. We're gonna solve this mystery." She shoved Raleigh into her old Reporter's hat from last year. "Come on Watson."
David felt hurt. "Who am I supposed to be?" He asked.
"Eh, you can be the dog." Kacey said.
David jumped with joy.
"Go put on Toby's old collar." Kacey ordered. She walked down the hall and put on her best British Accent. It sounded weird, considering she has a slight Aussie accent from growing up there for 3 years.
"You sound weird Kacey." David said. "I mean: Woof!" David crawled on the wood tree-house floor. He got a lot of splinters, but it was worth it.
"Ugh! We'll never find out who did it at this rate!" Kuki said.
Kacey peeked around the corner. "Actually, I think you mean: 'Whodunit.'" Kuki snarled. Wally got up.
"You play your childish games while we actually found out who ripped up the Rainbow Cruddies." He said.
"Childish games?" Kacey asked. She put her head close to his. "Let the 6th Graders handle this while you guys clean up. I'm still Sector Leader, and I'm the boss of you." Kacey said.
"Um, your 6th Grade Friends aren't acting like it." Wally pointed out. Kacey looked over at Raleigh and David. Raleigh was trying to catch a fly and David was sniffing the ground getting splinters in his nose.
Kacey facepalmed. "We're still better at handling things than you."
"No!" Wally argued.
"OK, you're on. Whoever solves the mystery first gets no chores for a week." Kacey said.
"Fine." Wally said. "But you'll be crying and doing chores while I'm playing Halo with David." Kacey scoffed.
"Not unless I get the mystery first." She said.
"You. Are. ON!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"La, la, la, solving a mystery." David sang. They were back at the fence, but they were walking past it to look for clues.
"David, you idiot, dogs don't sing. They bark. And I would know cuz I have two." Raleigh said.
"I have one too, Smart One!" David yelled.
"Have you ever seen it sing?" Raleigh asked.
"Maybe." David muttered.
"Hey, would you guys cut it out?" Kacey asked. "All you two have done is argue at each other. And I'm kinda hoping for no chores for a week."
"Yeah, well you don't have to be in Sector SV with this loser." Raleigh said.
"I'm a loser?" David asked. "I'm not a spaz!"
"I'm not a spaz!" Raleigh said.
"You... kinda are." Kacey said.
"OK, but at least I don't pretend to shank people!" Raleigh yelled.
"Hey!" David said. He felt hurt. "Pretending to shank people is AWESOME!"
"Hey, look!" Kacey called out. Standing by the swings was none other then Kyle.
Kacey's worst enemy.
