“Regina, will you betray the Spy Ninjas?” Vy ask in a stern tone.

“No,” Regina replies.

The lie detector shock machine shocks Regina saying she is Lying, but she pretends not to feel it.

“Backstabber..” vy mumbles.

“What was that?” Melvin asks.

“Regina is the backstabber!” vy yells.

“How?! It never shocked her!” Chad explains.

“Oh, but it did..” Regina taunts. “I just learned to be immune to it.”

“But.. how.. And.. why..” Daniel asks, slightly teary eyed.

“Hmm.. because you guys would never expect it.. You turn your backs and I go Boo!” Regina explains, laughing in the process.

“That means.. No No No No.. We can’t kick her out!” Daniel yells.

“We must.. For our safety..” Chad explains.

“Fine..” Daniel mumbles through tears.

Fast forward a few days after Regina leaves.

Daniels POV..

I have done something i shouldn't do.. Im on my way to do it now.. I’m meeting up with Regina today.. I haven't been myself so i snuck off to meet with her. I walk over to the tree we usually meet up at, and i sit there, burying my head into my knees, starting to cry.

Regina's pov.. 

I get a notification on my phone.. Motion sensor at the Raniel Tree! I look at the cameras and i see Daniel in tears. I run over there as fast as i can and i quickly go next to him and hug him.

“R-Regina?..” Daniel asks.

“Whats wrong danny boy?” I ask him.

“I.. I haven't been myself since… you left.. I came here.. Because i knew you installed a motion camera and you would come if you saw me.. I.. I’m sorry..” Daniel mumbles.

“Why are you sorry.. Theres nothing to be sorry about,” I explain.

“Because..” Daniel starts but then taps his arm in the SOS morse code, which is a code for something else.

“D-Daniel!? I thought you would never have to use that code! Whats wrong? I need you to speak to me!” I start to explain but then Chad comes out of nowhere with Vy and Melvin.

Backstabber!” Melvin yells.

“Leave him alone! He is trying to do something bad so im trying to stop him!” I yell.

“Like what? Its not like he is trying to hurt himself or anything!” Melvin yells.

I immediately looks at daniel, who is now back in tears, knowing melvin triggered something.

“You know what Melvin, I am.. I am trying to do it.. And now i want to even more because you are being mean to Regina!” Daniel yells and then runs to me, who hugs him as he starts to yell and cry.

“Look at what you did! Now Daniel is in tears, and he wants to hurt himself again!” I yell.

All the others look in shock. They've never seen Daniel this way, let alone, wanting to hurt himself..

I walk off, holding Daniel by the arm and the others walk off, clearly shocked.

“I.. Hate.. Them..” Daniel mumbles.

“Hate is a strong word, Daniel, you know that right?” I ask.

“Yea.. i guess i can say i dislike them..” Daniel says.

“I know you do.. I know you do Daniel,” I start. “But now there gone ok? You're alright.. Lets go back to the tree.”

As  we walk over to the tree, I see Melvin, but I decide to ignore it.

We sit down and Daniel lays his head on my shoulder, but then i hug him back and after a few minutes i find him asleep on my shoulder so I hug him and i make sure nobody hurts him.

I see Melvin and i try to tell him to go away but he doesn't budge so i hold daniel a bit tighter.

“Backstabber..” Melvin mumbles.

“Shut up.” I yell, but not loud enough to wake Daniel up. “He has had a rough time since i left, ok? So idc if im the backstabber! I still love and care about him!”

I see Daniel slowly waking up, and he sees Melvin.

“Go away!” Daniel yells. “I Hate You..”Daniel mumbles before falling back asleep on my lap.

Melvin reluctantly walks away and then i hear a tiny bit of crying from daniel.

“Buddy.. Shh.. you're alright,” I softly speak to him, hearing the small tears.

‘I.. I cant handle this anymore…”Daniel mumbles through his tears.

“You're gonna fight ok?” I ask in a comforting tone.

“I don't.. Know..” Daniel mumbles.

“For me?” I ask.

“Fine..” Daniel mumbles.

I grab daniels phone since i hear it ping and i was so mad when i looked…

Hanging out with backstabber?

You're a backstabber now!

You cannot come back until you stop hanging out with backstabber!

I look at Daniel and i look back at the phone and text back.

````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````

Backstabber huh? You are calling

Daniel a backstabber because

He is with me?!

Yes! I Am! He shouldn't be hanging out with

A backstabber!!

Would you rather have him

Running off hurting himself?!

…

Thats what i thought.

Bye.

.                                                                                                                                                          .

I look at daniel, who is back asleep on my lap. He deserves so much better than this.. His soft cries tear me apart. I've never seen him this sad before.. Not even.. Depressed.. He has no motivation to do anything anymore. I feel so so bad.

I see him wake up and the soft cries return.

“I.. I don't wanna go back..” Daniel mumbles throughout tears.

“You don't have to..” I start. “ Stay with me.”

Daniel nods, with a small smile forming on his face. I look at him, and tears fill my eyes.

“Are you alright?” Daniel asks.

“They are happy tears Daniel.. From seeing you smile again,” I speak.

we both stand up and start to walk around the park, but then they see Vy and Melvin yelling for Daniel. I look at him and he is placing headphones on and starts to play music to distract him. I walk to where he is going but then i notice Vy following us. As Daniel notices, he starts to sing out a few of his lyrics.

“I’m covering my ears like a kid.. When your words mean nothing i go la la la..” Daniel sings to himself and i see Vy stop.

“Like a… Kid?” Vy asks, catching up to the two.

“Leave him alone..” I say.

“Don't talk to us backstabber,” Vy states.

“You're the backstabber! You wont even let me hang out with my girlfriend-” Daniel yells but stops.

“Girlfriend.. You're dating backstabber!”Vy yells.

“Stop! She has a name you know, can you atleast call her by her damn name?! Seriously?! Oh and by the way, Im. Not. Coming. Home!” Daniel snaps.

“Yes! You are!” Vy yells.

“No i’m not! I do not care what you say! I am staying with my girlfriend!” Daniel snaps and goes to My side.

“Fine then, but don't come running back when she hurts you,” Vy taunts and walks off.

“Ill never.. Ever.. hurt you..” I softly speak.

I start to hear soft cries again.. They hurt him so much the past few days.. And thats why he is staying with me..

“Daniel?” I ask.

“R-Regina..” Daniel starts. “ Im.. Im done..”

“Done?! Like, Done with the spy ninjas, O-Or-” I start but gets cut off.

“ With Living” Daniel numbly says.

“What?! No No No.. i swear i am going to kill them for this! Come on! We are gonna have a little talk with them!” I explain.

I Pull Daniel and we get to the safehouse. I still have a key so i use it to get in.

“Traitor is back!” Vy yells.

“Shut up. I need to have a talk. You guys.. Gave Daniel.. Unalive thoughts!” I yell.

“Did we.. or did you put a bad influence on him?” Chad asks

“You guys did!” Daniel yells. “I don't care how many times you say it is Regina’s fault for what im thinking, but it is all your guys fault! I want to go along with my plan because of you!”

“W-What Plan?!” I ask.

“My Plan. so i don't have to be here anymore,” Daniel numbly says.

“What?!” I yell. “E-Ending life?!

Without speaking, Daniel walks out the safehouse, putting back on his headphones. I run after him and i see him sitting by an edge, singing.

“I just wanna stop the scars that grow, everytime that i go home..” Daniel sings to himself.

I realize i know the song song so i sing back, altering the lyrics just a bit

“Thats why you came up here instead? Thats what the boy in the blue jacket said..” I sing back.

“Wait.. You know that song?!” Daniel asks, shocked.

‘Yea. i listen to the Tagalog version all the time.. But i've heard you sing the english one.. Also.. why are you on the edge right now..” I ask.

“Because i needed a place to calm down from everyone.. Thats why i came up here instead..” Daniel mumbles.

“Come on, get down.. Your gonna make me worried..” I say.

I get daniel to come down and i walk him back to out meet up tree and i sit down with him, starting to hear his soft cries again.

“Buddy..” I softly speak.

“ im tired.. Of everything.. Why did you betray them?” Daniel asks

“I didn't! I got nervous and i f*cked up my response!” I respond. 

“Understandable.. You do tend to get very nervous at times.” Daniel says.

“Yea.. but they would never believe me..” I say.

“You know, im still part of the spy ninjas, i could give you a lie detector test.” Daniel says.

Me and daniel walk back to the safehouse and by the time we enter, Chad and Vy hug Daniel tightly.

“Omg! Are you alright! It was probably her influence that made you-” Vy starts but gets cut off.

“No.. it wasn't.. And im gonna prove it. Im gonna give her a lie detector test.” Daniel directs.

I sit in the lie detector chair and i get asked the big question.

“Regina, will you betray the Spy Ninjas?” Vy ask in a stern tone.

“No,” I reply.

The lie detector signs it was true and all of them hug Regina.

“Regina? I think you should check on your brother..” Chad instructs.

I run as fast as i can to his room and i open the door. He looks up, with tears in his eyes and hugs me as tightly as possible.

“Sis!” Melvin exclaims. “You're back!”

“Haha yes! But are you ok?” I Ask. “ Chad told me to ask you.”

“Im alright now..” Melvin replies.

“Good.” I reply back.

And thats that.. Regina finally became a spy ninja again and everyone was happy
