Hello all! I'm dabbling in a new fandom and this is my first Spy Kids fic, so let me know how it is (good, bad, pathetic, etc.) I'm pretty good at getting in updates, but my speed varies depending on what else I'm working on and how well the story's progressing. Hopefully this one won't get stuck in a rut. None of my others have yet... Enjoy!

DISCLAIMER: If you all really need to be told, then you have issues, but just in case... obviously these characters are not mine, I'm just using some creative license. I intend to try my best to keep them in character and true to canon. The plot idea, however, is mine.

Chapter One: New Mission

"Welcome back, Gary," the cool automated voice intoned as he walked into his room and tossed his belongings on the king-size bed. "How was your day?"

He grumbled, "Fine," in response, which apparently satisfied the computer, because it changed the subject.

"You have one unviewed telemessage. Would you like to view it?"

Reaching across his bed, he picked up the simple black remote and pointed it at his seemingly innocent full-length mirror. It suddenly jumped away from the wall and flipped around, revealing a doorway to the tv room he shared with his younger sister, Gerti. Walking in, he shed his uniform jacket and said, "Play."

Obediently, the tv turned on and the computerized voice announced, "Message from the director of the OSS to: Gary and Gerti Giggles."

"Hold on," he ordered. The screen froze immediately. "Gerti?" he asked into his multi-purpose wristwatch, "Come to the tv room."

"Be right there," his twelve-year-old sister replied. A few seconds later, a panel on the opposite side of the room sprang open and his little sister walked in, her hair up in its characteristic twin ponytails. "What's up?"

Gary indicated the screen. "Message from Gregorio Cortez to us."

"Juni's dad?"

"The director of the OSS," Gary corrected mildly, suppressing a smile at his sister's initial reaction.

"Right." She arranged her expression into one of polite interest and directed her next remark to the screen. "Play."

The familiar face of Gregorio Cortez appeared on screen. "Gary and Gerti Giggles, you are requested to meet in Briefing Room B with three other agents as 1700 hours to discuss with the Director – me – a matter of great urgency. Do you accept this summons and its accompanying mission?"

The screen went blank and the computerized voice once again spoke. "Please state whether or not you will accept; and automatic telemessage will be sent with your reply."

Gary cast a glance at his sister. She nodded silently and he acknowledged it with an answering nod. Looking back at the screen, he squared his shoulders and said, "We accept."

How's that for an opening? Please review!
