Hiiii! Enjoy! :D
Operation: Nerd Solution
The sun shone brightly above Southdale Jr. High, where the students greeted each other in bright and cheerful faces as they strolled through the school corridors. Students, ranging from fifth-graders to eight-graders, huddled to their peers in front of the lockers and dwelled into their conversations which might be about but not limited to; the recent episode of their favorite TV series, results of last night's basketball game or the latest gossip about someone doing something shockingly horrible for a twelve-year old. Whatever it was that they talked about, the middleschoolers had begun the morning in bright spirits. Everyone had, including the Clarks.
The four Clark siblings arrived in the hallway, passing by the clusters of students in front of the lockers and several other students who were walking down the same path. But unlike all the other students in Southdale Jr. High, the Clark siblings weren't talking about some gossip or TV show.
"I don't know about you guys but I had a good sleep last night." Megan, stretching out her arms, told her brothers. Her hair was neatly swept to the side, thanks to the almost-one-hour she spent inside the bathroom. She wore her usual pink hoodie that was only long enough to expose her bellybutton, and her pink skirt over her white pants. "Not to mention a good shower. Can't Slick Nick use a much cleaner and good-smelling liquid for a weapon for a change?" she said, puckering her lips at last night's memory.
"Unfortunately, baddies always like to go down and dirty." Marc agreed, walking beside his sister. Although they're twins, Marc looked nothing like Megan; with his hazel eyes and her green eyes, his caramel brown hair and hers black, and his bright skin and her dark one. Smart Marc had a term for this…oh yeah! Fraternal twins.
"But luckily, we finished the mission earlier. I was able to finish next week's homework when we got home." Marc continued as he slipped his hands into his hoodie's front pockets.
"And I got to beat Lee's videogame high score!" little Tony added from behind them. His green eyes were shining triumphantly and his fist was raised in the air.
"Oh yeah?" Of course, Lee wouldn't back down that easily, considering that he's the eldest, strongest and most athletic among the four of them. "Just you wait and I'll beat you right out of the top spot!" he beamed at his brother.
Tony would have answered back but they were distracted by a huge crowd gathering in front of them. Everyone was staring at a poster on the right wall. The poster was decorated in pink and blue swirls which surrounded the clear gigantic white letters that spelled –
"School Dance this coming Friday!" Megan let out an excited gasp as she clasped her hands together below her chin. "Ooohh! Exciting! I wonder which band they've got to play." she said.
"Who cares? It's a dance, not a music fest." Tony said and he gripped Megan and Marc's shoulders out of the way, "And I can already see the lucky girl who's going to hit the dance floor with me." His eyes shot straight forward to the brunette fifth-grader on the other side of the hallway.
In a matter of seconds, Tony's back was pressed onto the locker, his arms were folded casually in front of him and his face carried a cocky smile as he turned to face the girl on his right. "So, Friday night sounds like a lot of fun. Well, it will be if you and I could come together, you know, arm in arm, face to face when the music starts playing." His voice was seriously deep and cool and if the girl still hadn't noticed the gleam on Tony's teeth then I don't even know what to make of it.
"Sorry but someone's already taking me to the dance." she replied with her palm raised in front of Tony's face. She gave him an annoyed look before walking away.
Tony stared in disbelief.
"What?! She's taken already?" he burst.
Lee smirked from behind Marc and Megan, who have all been watching Tony's little act. "Sorry little bro but you gotta act fast." he teased before his attention turned to the ringing on his phone.
"Wo-ho-ho, and look how fast these girls are texting." Lee began scrolling the screen. "I just received fifteen messages for the past three minutes, from girls who want yours truly to take them to the dance." He threw he threw his phone up and caught it in one hand and then showed off a big smile.
Show off, the younger siblings thought.
"Yeah well, you guys can go ahead and look for your dates." Marc frowned as he spoke. He wasn't trying to sound cool or proud. "You know me – I'm too much of a nerd to ask a girl out." His head was lowering down.
Before either Lee or Tony could say anything horrible, Megan nudged her shoulder against her brother's. "Oh come on, Marc, learn to have a little faith in yourself." Her voice was softened. "Hey, what about that lab partner you told me about? You said she's pretty."
Marc's cheeks turned hot and pink. "I said that? What I meant was, she's pretty nice." He turned his face away from Megan so she couldn't see him blushing even more.
"Lab partner?" Tony, who was now beside Lee, cried out. "Man, I bet this girl would have to be all geeky with Science and stuff if she'll let Marc ask her out." he told Lee. They began to laugh but Megan glared daggers at the both of them.
Marc still looked gloomy until he gaped and straightened. "Ssshh, guys! She's coming this way!" he whispered at them.
The other three straightened at once and looked to the direction Marc was staring, and there they saw the girl heading towards them.
"Whoah" came out of Lee's and Tony's mouth.
The girl was dressed in a royal blue short-sleeved top with a short sleeveless blazer of darker blue that went over it. Her top stretched down to a fleeted short skirt, covering the upper portion of her black knee-length leggings. On her middle was a fashionable belt that was almost unseen because of a huge book she was clutching on her chest. She was fair-skinned. Her eyes had the same deep blue color as her clothes and her bangs were swept to the side, almost covering her left eye, while the rest of her striking cherry red hair hang freely behind her back.
"Hey, Marc." she called him. Her voice sounded smooth and sweet.
Marc snapped out from his daze but he was still getting distracted by the loud pounding in his chest.
"Hi, Celine." he stammered, trying to keep a straight face."Didn't see you there." This was obviously a lie.
She smiled. Then he noticed her tilting her head a little to look past behind him.
"Oh, yeah, these are my brothers and sister;" He gestured and the three quickly broke off from their stares and straightened, "Megan, Tony and Lee. Guys, this is my lab partner Celine."
The three each came up with their own response which was nothing more than a "Hey" or "What's up?"
"You can just call me Sel. Nice to meet you." she replied nicely. Then she turned to Marc, "I can't wait for Science Class today. Mr. Pipette said we'll be heating up chemicals today. Well, I-" she scratched her head and smiled nervously, "I've never actually used a Bunsen burner before."
"There's nothing wrong with that. If you want, I can help you on your first try." Marc told her, also smiling nervously.
"Really? But, you've already helped me out during the past few days. I don't want to be a bother." the redhead answered softly as she was beginning to bury half of her face behind her book.
"It's completely fine. Besides, it's just a laboratory apparatus. It's not really that much compared to the Science and Math problems I've been asked to deal with. I'm glad to help." he said.
"Wow! Thanks, Marc. If I'm becoming a pain in the neck, just tell me." She grinned, emphasizing the shine in her blue eyes. "Oops, I better get going now. See you later, Marc. And see you around too." she told Lee, Megan and Tony cheerfully as she walked away.
The four Clarks were alone again. Marc sighed in relief. Lee, Megan and Tony still had their faces in amazement as they watched Celine walk to her locker.
Lee turned around and broke the silence, "I gotta hand it to you Marc, she is cute."
Tony followed, "Yeah she is. So not the geeky girl I was expecting."
"And the best part is," Megan stepped over to Marc, "she talks to you. She knows you. You don't have to show off or pretend to be something you're not. That's why you should definitely ask her to the dance." she said.
Maybe Marc was always easily swayed by his sister's words because once again he was persuaded by her to do one of the things he feared to do. If Marc was to choose between fighting against an army of gigantic robots and asking a pretty girl to a dance, he'd grab a laser gun right away.
"Alright." he finally said and he began to walk away.
"Good luck, bro." encouraged Tony.
"Make us proud." Lee patted his back.
Marc saw Celine helping herself place a few books into her locker. He was just about to call out to her when, just four lockers away, Marc found himself hurled into a locker that soon widened into a tunnel that sent him sliding down unstoppably.
He bumped right into his siblings somewhere during the slide and it ended with all of them landing on a pink bouncy chair. They moaned as their bodies were slouched in awkward positions; Lee lying upside down, Marc lying face-first with Tony on his back, and Megan half-sitting, half-lying with Marc's legs crossed over hers and Tony's head resting on her right arm.
The Clarks weren't in school anymore. In fact, they were nowhere near school. They were in an office inside the World Organization of Human Protection headquarters. Around them were metallic walls, floor and ceiling that surely had something hidden beneath or behind them.
"Hello, spies." greeted the man in black suit in front of them. He was tall, almost bald and was probably in his late thirties or forties. Pretty old for someone running an international organization but the Clarks wouldn't say that, at least not directly in his face. He was sitting behind his desk that was walled by computer monitors.
He eyed the young spies with amusement, "Was it a bad time?" He had a British accent.
"Yeah, Jer," Megan replied just as quickly as they sat themselves properly. "You just blew Marc's chance in asking out a girl to the dance."
Jerry didn't have the slightest idea. "I'm sure there's going to be other opportunities for that matter. Now for your assignment," he spun around his chair to face the screen he just turned on. Light filled the room.
"Last night, a conference was held in Michigan University and during the presentation of the awards, this happened," he pressed a button.
The screen played a footage showing the conference room, where onstage stood two men in lab gowns. One of them handed a trophy to the other man and the audience burst into applause. Suddenly, smoke filled the stage until the two men were unseen and only their coughing and the audience's commotion were heard.
"No one could find the source of the smoke." Jerry spoke when the video was over. "It must be something sinister since the conference held almost a hundred scientists from all over Michigan."
"So? What would someone want with a bunch of old nerds?" Tony asked.
"Information. Secret formulas, special plans, rare findings." answered Marc.
"Precisely. That's why I need you to check out the two scientists who were exposed to the smoke during that day. Now, for your gadgets." Jerry pressed another button and a tray emerged from the front of his desk.
"Today, you'll be utilizing the Aim Right-Stick Right Glue Gun," which Tony grabbed in an instant, "the Upgraded Virtual Wardrobe Ring, which can also change your body's appearance aside from your clothes,"
"Ooh, can't wait to try it out." Megan said as she slid the ring through her finger.
"Yeah, we can't wait to see what kind of silly looks it has in store for you." Lee smirked.
"The Evaporation Thermos and the Super Absorbent Hanky." Jerry finished and the spies took hold of the devices.
"Wow. Thanks, Jerry."
Great gadgets should come with great suits so with another press of a button, the spies were instantly clad in their spy suits.
"Your jet awaits, spies."
The wall on the right lifted and revealed the WOOHP Jet. The spies ran to their vehicle, entered and fastened themselves into their seats.
Megan and Tony scanned the system and it was ready to go. They signaled Marc and Lee on the pilot seats and Lee set the jet off into the air. The jet flew over Los Angeles and over more cities as they headed towards the state of Michigan.
First of all, HI! Thank you so much for taking the time to read my story. It's my very first fanfic :D
Second, sorry if it's not that good. I don't know how to deal with emotions so my stories are more concentrated on the plot. It's like you're watching another TAS episode rather than reading a creative fanfic that deals with the character's emotional turmoil that brings me to tears. *sniff*
Third, I really really really don't want to put OCs but I just can't because there's no character in the show other than the spiez, their parents, Jerry and Tami. So I had to make one. And no, I don't like Sheena. XD
Fourth, I know nothing about Michigan.
I'll try to finish this one before June. J So yeah, review please? It would mean a lot. Thank you soooo much! :D
-Kimmy!
(Man I talk too much)
