The Rule

## Summary

Fourteen-year-old Nayah has fainted way too much on missions, so Chief makes a rule: If anyone says the word babe, they have to get chased and tickled, but after a mission, Brett feels very tempted, even though he knows he can't and shouldn't break the rule, but what will happen when Lexa and Nolan cause trouble? Will Brett be able to resist his aching temptation, or will he anger a very beautiful girl? Find out as you read!

**Brett's POV**

I walk into HQ and see that Nayah's upset. She's never been upset, but then I realize she's holding her baseball in her hands. The baseball looks like a cat has scratched it multiple times, but then, I realize that there's one word on it. I walk over to Nayah and place a hand on her shoulder. She smiles at me sadly. I smile back at her.

"What happened to your baseball?" I ask her as she nods sadly. I look at her. She growls as I pat her shoulder.

"Relax." I say softly as she takes a deep breath and hands her baseball to me. I gasp as I realize what word is on it other than her favorite baseball player's signature.

"But you hate it when the trick is pulled." I say as she nods. She then takes out a sprayer and sprays the baseball with water and soap. She then drops the baseball on the ground a few times, catching it each time. I smirk at her and lean in for a kiss, but she turns her head, so I frown.

"No way." "Not now, fox." "I have to go." Nayah says as she stands, but I gently garb her hand. She frowns slightly.

"What?" "I have a mission." Nayah says firmly. I sigh. I honestly want to come with her on her special mission if she has to face Xander, but I don't want to risk making her fall.

"I love you." "Keep your head up, and whatever you do, don't give in to any of Xander's dares." I say as she nods. She grabs her special backpack and runs out of the lounge.

**Nayah's POV**

I walk over to Landon, seeing that he looks like he's about to pass out. I kneel down to his level and run my hands through his fur. He smiles, nuzzling my hand. I chuckle.

"I weally need you." "Kamala and Linda awe twying to wob the yoguwt place." "They also pulled the four-letter-twick." Landon says as I smile. Even though he can't say his R's correctly, I know what he's trying to say. So I smile at him.

"Landon, I need you to help me take Kamala and Linda down." "While the rest of the teammates make sure that the people inside the frozen yogurt shop are okay, I need you to help me take them down." "I'm also going to need you to take pictures as evidence." "Can you do that for me, buddy?" I ask as he nods firmly.

"I've got you covewed, beautiful." Landon smiles. He timidly walks towards Kamala and Linda, afraid they might pull the trick on him. He spots them trying to take money out of the cash register, so he looks at me. I rush over to him, frowning.

"Kamala, Linda, I thought your mothers told you that robbing the bank is against the law." I say it firmly.

"Oh, we don't care." Kamala smirks. I walk towards them and start to scold them. As I'm scolding them, Xander sneaks up behind me. I suddenly feel someone's hand on my shoulder, but I don't turn around. I then hear Landon meowing as I turn around, seeing Xander right there. He smirks at me, so I know what I have to do.

"Hello, babe." Xander smirks as Landon starts to shake before he passes out. I gasp, glaring at Xander, but I avoid eye contact.

"Oh, you're going to pay for that!" "Chasers, I need you!" I say as Baby Ox, Dexter, and Shadow show up.

"Hey, beautiful." Baby Ox giggles as I smile at the four. My smile then changes into a frown as I point to Xander. The four turn and look at him, their lips set in identical snarls. Xander's smile quickly disappears as he looks at the four, his expression changing from happy to angry in an instant.

"Chasers, it's time for a good chase." I smirk as Baby Ox, Dexter, Landon, and Shadow line up, their jewels inside their collars glowing brightly. I count to three and all of a sudden, all four of my animal friends are in their spy uniforms. Baby Ox sits in his wheelchair, awaiting my command.

"Go ahead, Fast Four." "Teach Xander a good lesson while I deal with Kamala and Linda." I smile as all four of them start to run after Xander. I turn to Kamala and Linda and handcuff them. Chief Gloria walks over to me and smiles with a satisfied expression on her face.

"Thanks, love." Gloria smiles at me with a warm smile. I nod happily at her as I always do for her because I love her so much and respect her so much as my best friend and leader.

"Oh, hello, babe." Edward smirks as I spin around two times and punch him. Jackie rushes to my side to help.

"Edward, you just don't quit, do you?" Jax snarls. Edward smirks at her as she taps her necklace four times. A bright orange and yellow light fuse together before revealing Zaria and Zamar.

"Hi, Jackie." "Did you call for us?" Zaria asks as Jax nods. Zaria then realizes that Edward is smirking, so she looks at her younger brother with a worried look.

"Dont worry, Zari." "I'll catch you if Edward says the word that's off limits." Zamar smiles as Edward smirks.

"Oh, Zari, you think you're the cutest thing ever, don't you, babe?" Edward smirks as Zaria collapses in her twin's arms. Zamar rubs her paws as he lays her down on a glittering cloud, glaring at Edward with fierce anger.

"Don't worry, sis." "I won't tickle Edward until you wake up, because twins tickle together."

"You've got me, and I've got you." Zaria says in a weak voice as her eyes close. Zamar nods and looks at Jackie, who's struggling to hold back tears.

"I'm going to take him to the interrogation room so Chief can ask him questions." "Make sure to stay with Zaria until I get back." Jax says as he nods.

"You have my word, love." Zamar smiles as he turns to look at Zaria. Her eyes are still closed and she's not moving, but she's breathing one breath per minute.

**Jackie's POV**

I lead Edward into an interrogation room and open the door, placing him in a chair, along with a lie detector. I pull out my phone and see that Chief has sent me a holographic video. I tap the video button on my bracelet to activate it.

"Hi, Chief." I say happily. Chief Gloria smiles at me, but then frowns at Edward.

"So you're the one who made Zaria faint, huh?" "Well, not only have the twins now have to postpone your punishment, but the Fast Four has to chase you, too." "Any chance you'd be willing to tell Jackie or I anything before we give you the lie detector test?" Gloria snaps.

"No way, Chief." "I'm not telling you or Jackie anything." Edward growls as Chief glares at him again. She only lets us call her Chief, so if a villain calls her that, she gets very angry. Gloria says as I set up the lie detector test. "Jax, set up the lie detector test for me." "Sure thing, Chief." I set up the lie detector test and begin to prepare it for her.

"Did you make Zaria faint just because you knew that she and Zamar had to tickle you?" I ask. He shakes his head. "No." Edward lies. The lie detector beeps and turns red, signaling that he is lying. I frown at him. The only way for him to pass the lie detector test is for him to tell the truth and I can see that he's not going to do that.

"Edward, I'm giving you one more chance to take back that lie or else I'm going to call in the Fast Four." "And I'm sure you don't want that, and I'd hate to see them upset because I have to ruin their relaxation day." I snarl as I think of the Chasers, who are currently in Snowflake Cave watching Wild Kratts.

"Well, you can call them, because I'm not going to tell you anything, Jax." "Good luck, babe." Ed smirks as I activate my bracelet. Baby Ox's face pops up.

"Let me guess.. Dexter, Landon, Shadow, and I have to chase, don't we?" he asks.

"Mhm.. I know Nayah told you that the four of you could take it easy, but she really needs you right now." I sigh as Baby Ox's face gets serious before he says two words.

"Let's chase." He growls as my bracelet clicks, ending the message. I know he's not mad at me.

**Baby Ox's POV**

Dexter, Landon, Shadow, and I are currently in Snowflake Cave watching Wild Kratts. I then realize that we all have to chase, so we pause the episode and get ready. I get in my wheelchair as Dexter and Landon place my harness on me. Shadow fills my special thermos with V8 juice as all of our jewels glow. We close our eyes and countdown from nine and all of a sudden, we're in our spy uniforms.

"Come on, Chasers!" I smile brightly as we leave Snowflake Cave and go to HQ. Once we get there, Chief and Jackie rush over to us, looking relieved.

"Chasers, I hate to ruin your relaxation day, but you four must chase Edward, unfortunately." Chief says apologetically.

"Oh, that's alright." "We're looking forward to a good chase, anyway." Shadow smirks. I smirk as we walk over to Edward, who snarls.

"You four don't scare me." He laughs scornfully as Dexter and Landon snarl at him, holding up a picture of Nayah on the ground, fainted. She's hugging Zaria close to keep the Florida panther cub from freezing.

"Two of our teammates have fainted, and it's your fault." Shadow snarls. He glares at Edward, who laughs. He must really think we're joking, but we're not.

"Yeah!" "You'we a big meanie!" "How could you?" Landon growls. He uses his magic to make a quadruped that drives on its own. All four of us admire it, then we get on it and speed after Edward. Landon suddenly gets off the quadruped, smirking.

"What's up, L?" I ask, using his nickname. Landon leans in so that we can hear him better.

"We should twick him." Landon whispers. Dexter and Shadow nod.

"How are we supposed to do that?" I ask cautiously. Landon laughs, smirking.

"What if we make him say the word welax over and over?" Landon giggles. I gasp, hugging my bobcat friend.

"You're a genius, L." I say. Landon giggles, hugging Dexter, Shadow and I.

"Well, thank you." "Let's put this plan into action!" Landon smirks. He smiles at us as we walk over to Edward. He smirks at us as Shadow steps forward, pretending to be sad.

"Don't worry, Shadow." "Relax, I'm here for you." Edward smirks as Dexter, Landon, and I sneak up on him and tackle him to the ground as Chief growls at Edward.

"Nice work, Chasers." "You four are excellent." Chief smiles. I launch a thank-you flare into the beautiful starry sky.

"No problem." "As for you, Edward, you will report to the interrogation room immediately, otherwise I will have Zaria and Zamar tickle you like crazy." "Are we clear?" Gloria growls. Her voice is so evocative that it makes the four of us jump a little.

Edward laughs and scoffs, trying to get to Nayah as she blasts a laser at him, but I shove her out of the way and blast my own laser at him instead.

"Nice try, Ed." "Lasering a female is also the same as actually physically hurting her." I growl as Nayah starts to run. Her lynx friend, Libby, arrives and smiles at her.

"Need a ride?" Libby asks as Nayah swiftly gets on her back. She holds onto Libby's tail tightly as Libby starts to run into Rocky Cave. Once the two of them get there, Nayah sighs deeply as Libby nuzzles her lovingly.

**Nayah's POV**

I sigh deeply as Libby nuzzles me. She and I have been close ever since she was adopted by an animal rescue center. I love the way her fur feels against my skin. Her bright magenta eyes light up like stars, and I love her laugh. She turns on an episode of Wild Kratts, this one being called Cats and Dogs. We sit close together as Libby rests her paw on my leg. I soften my voice and smirk at her before saying one sentence that makes her laugh.

"Libby, you're truly amazing, babe." I laugh as she looks at me like I'm crazy before she bursts out laughing. She loves it when I call her babe. I then realize she's starting to fall asleep.

"Aww, you don't want to watch the rest of the episode with me?" I ask softly as I set up a comfy and cozy bed of snow for her to lie down on. I also grabbed her favorite neon pillow and changed the episode so that relaxing music is playing instead of the episode. I know how much she loves to relax and watch her favorite shows, and I want to make her as comfortable as possible.

"I love how you treat Libby." A kind voice says. I turn and see K.C. smiling at me.

"Hi, Kace." I smile softly.
