Life of the Agent
It was a dark, noiseless room when suddenly an alarm sounded. Lights began flickering and horns bellowed creating a chaotic scene (and Britney isn't causing it, trust me…). Just then, a female figure emerged from within the haze.
"Intruder Alert!" announced the computer, "initiate defense system!"
From the walls of the room compartments opened revealing laser guns. They fired on the intruder. The lights of the lasers revealed the identity of the intruder: Agent Lola Bunny!
She dodged the lasers easily. She ran towards the exit, while the lasers still fired upon her. She jumped and did a cartwheel followed by some impressive flips: two-handed, one-handed, no-handed. After avoiding the lasers, the floor opened up in front of her revealing a trap with spikes. She didn't let that stop her. She jumped then activated her jetpack to fly safely across the abyss.
When she reached the other side, three giant robots appeared to block her path. The first one grabbed her from her jetpack. She unlatched herself from it and dropped to the floor before the robot smashed the jetpack into the wall. She took out her laser gun and fired on the robots. They were unaffected by her attacks. Lola scanned the robot with the scanner on her head, and discovered its weak spot.
"Ah ha!" exclaimed Lola
She fired and knocked off a compartment door, which protected the robot's wiring. She fired into the compartment and caused the robot to short circuit. She dodged the attacks from the other two robots, and shot at their weak spots to destroy them as well. She then ran towards a slanted wall that had protruding blocks, and the exit at the top. The challenge was that the blocks could move in and out. She jumped on the first block then towards the next. Every now and then a flying robot would attack, but Lola shot it out of the sky. Also a block would move so Lola had to be careful when she jumped and when she landed. After making it past the obstacles, she landed on the top in fighting stance. Just then something unexpected happened…
"Lola! I'm home!" yelled a distant voice
Lola hesitated for a second, and in that second a laser hit her in the abdomen, knocking her to the ground.
"Gah!" muttered a stunned Lola
"Failure," said the computer, "simulation terminated."
At that command, clean-up bots came in and cleaned up the destroyed robots; the wall lasers closed up; the trap floor doors closed; and the blocks stopped moving. Lola got up and dusted herself off. A floating computer screen came towards her, it was blue and it had the image of a female face on it.
"That is the third failure this week, Agent Bunny," said the computer
"I got distracted," answered Lola
"Distractions can occur on the field,""I know," she said stretching herself out
"Last time you missed a block and crashed into the floor,""Tanya needed me to bandage a cut,"
"And the time you slipped and almost fell into the pit?"
"Sean wanted me to get him a snack,"
"And the time you forgot to activate your jet pack?""Bugs wanted me to…well...he wanted me," she muttered the last part
"All these distractions are making you lose your edge,""I can't help it if I'm a mother and a wife,"
"Yes but you are an agent of the Force, and you have certain obligations,""And as Mrs. Bunny, I have certain obligations as well," said Lola as she walked towards the elevator, "Computer, terminate training session."
"Session terminated,"
"G'night, computer,"
Lola took the elevator up to her bedroom. She changed out of her black and silver uniform and into her civilian clothes, which consisted of a white tank top and gray sweatpants. She emerged from her room and found her two children, Sean and Tanya, playing video games. She went to the kitchen and found her husband, Bugs getting a drink of water.
"Hey babe," greeted Lola
"Hey Lo," he responded by kissing her
"Tough day?"
"Yeah, grading dese finals is one heck of a job. You're lucky you don't come in dis week,"
"Yeah, gym class does have its perks,"
"Look at dis," he said taking out his briefcase. He opened it and a huge pile of papers sprung up that it was a wonder how they all fit in there.
"Da essay was on silent cartoons. Here's a real diplomat," said Bugs pulling out a paper from the pile. He read:
"Silent cartoons had both negative and positive affects on society. Da good things about dem is dat dey were silent. Da bad ting was you couldn't hear a ting,"
Lola giggled
"Now, da kiss-up: Silent cartoons? Who cares about some old black and white speechless toon, when Bugs Bunny is da greates cartoon character ever?"
Lola laughed
"What? Isn't it true?"
"Of course it is. Its just funny how these kids would do silly things just to get ahead."
"Yeah. Dere were only a handful of good papers. I still have tree more to grade,"
"Papers?"
"No, classes,"
"Yikes,"
"It's gonna be a long week,"
At that moment, the two little tots came into the room.
"Mommy! When are we gonna eat?" asked Sean
"Soon," answered Lola
"We're not having salad again, are we?" asked Tanya
"No, tonight we eat Italian food," said Lola
"Ah! Italiano, eh? Dat's a good food, eh?" said Bugs in an Italian accent
"Just-a wait till you a taste-a me eggplant parmesana, eh?" answered Lola in her Italian accent
"Dey talk funny," whispered Sean to Tanya
Meanwhile….
In a hidden facility, there was a hacker at work. His boss was watching over him.
"Did you get in?" asked the boss
"I almost broke through the defenses…and…there!" exclaimed the hacker, "The Force's Mainframe!"
"Excelent," said the boss
"Downloading now!"
He began downloading the files when after a few seconds, the mainframe's security system stopped him and removed him.
"What happened?" asked the boss
"They kicked me out," answered the Hacker
"Did you get the files?"
"I got…one of them," he said opening it, "it's a list of assigned missions that were given to the agents."
"Hmm…that will have to do,"
