"Happy sweet sixteen, Micky and Jade!" It was the first day of June and Jackie Chan and his Section 13 friends were celebrating Micky and Jade's 16th birthdays- Jade's birthday was today and Micky's was the next day but they wanted to celebrate them together. Last month Lydia and Valmont had a beautiful church wedding and a romantic honeymoon in the Mediterannean area and then in England so that Valmont could visit with his parents for the first time in 30 years. Lydia was delighted when another one of her best friends, Hollywood movie director Larry Franklin, came to her wedding since she hadn't seen him since she left LA to move to San Francisco. Now DJ Fist and Kaysha were beginning to put the final touches on their wedding in two months.
Micky and Jade were finishing opening their presents when they each got to one last box from Tag. They squealed with excitement when they opened them.
"Awesome!" Micky exclaimed, "Secret agent stuff!"
Tag smiled. "Yep! We promised you before that when you girls turned 16 you could begin your training as secret agents!"
"This is great!" Jade said, "Fingerprint detectors, gloves, journal to write super big secrets in, handcuffs, walkie talkie, hidden camera, hidden microphone, a rope, and a mondo coolio bag to keep them in!"
"The usual standard kit for all secret agents" Tag replied, "The more experience the get the more intuitive you can be with supplies!"
"Thanks, guys! This is the best birthday EVER!" Micky said excitedly as she high fived Jade, "Time to start the adventures of Micky and Jade!"
Cassie laughed. "The adventures of Micky and Jade...sounds like the title of a comic book!"
"When do we get to start training, Uncle Tag?!" Micky asked her uncle.
Tag grinned. "I have nothing to do so we can start right now if you want!"
"Alright!" Micky and Jade said at the same time as they ran off with their secret agent supplies.
Tag laughed. "Oh Liddy they remind me of us when we were younger, we always played secret agent, remember?"
"Yepppp!" Lydia replied, "Gosh to be 16 again!"
"I'm jolly good with you being 40, darling" Valmont said as he kissed her cheek, "You look like a teenager and act like one sometimes though so it all balances out!"
Lydia laughed out loud. "Hey! I'm just trying to be cool!"
After the birthday party, DJ Fist and Kaysha were in the main lounge booking their honeymoon.
"Oh man, New York is gonna be so much fun!" Kaysha exclaimed, "Staying up late, sleeping in, seeing the sights, and even getting to do some gigs around town!"
DJ Fist grinned as he finished booking their flight. "I know, it's gonna be awesome! Best part is being alone with you" he added as he sat his laptop aside and pulled her close to kiss her. After kissing for a while, DJ motioned for Kaysha to sit in his lap.
"Man I am so excited about being married next month" Kaysha said happily, "And I once thought that no guy would ever want me!"
DJ Fist smiled as Kaysha cuddled up to him. "I'm excited too, and I never even thought about girls before until I met you. And speaking of which, today is the anniversary of when we first met. Definitely the best thing that ever happened to me" he said romantically as the two kissed again.
MC Cobra and Charmaine went to the beach to surf some waves. They both loved being in the water and being out in the sun.
"Woo those were some primo waves!" Cobra exclaimed as he and Charmaine were taking a break and sitting by the shore.
"I know, man!" Charmaine replied, "Gosh there's something about surfing that's just...awesome! I love it!"
"Me too, yo!" Cobra said, "Though I don't love it nearly as much as you" he added as their lips met in a soft but romantic kiss.
After kissing, Cobra rested his head comfortably in Charmaine's lap while she ran her fingers through his thick dark purple hair.
"Can you believe we've known each other for a whole year?" Cobra asked. "Man it's definitely been the best!"
Charmaine grinned. "For sure! Except for when I got kidnapped and stuff, but yeah it's been awesome! I'll never forget when I first saw you and how I was like "Dang, he's cuuuuute!"
MC Cobra laughed at her adorableness. "I thought the same thing when I first saw you. I remember feeling bad about when you ran into me by accident and I got mad, only to find out that I was looking at the prettiest girl I've ever seen. Growing up I never really wanted to find a girl to fall in love with, I just wanted to hang out with my posse and not have to worry about all that love stuff! But when I met you, all that changed, and I'm glad it did. I love you, Charmaine."
"Aww I love you too, Cobra" Charmaine replied as she leaned down to kiss her boyfriend more.
"Haha! You got your butt kiiiicked!" Cassie bragged to Strikemaster Ice when they were done playing pool in Section 13's newest arcade, built at the request of Lydia so that Section 13's youngest guests could have something to do. "You got your butt kicked on this day last year too!"
"Psh you just got lucky, girl!" Ice replied.
Cassie grinned. "You have to give me a prize! So hand it over, Ice cream sandwich!"
"Oh I'll give you a prize, a'ight" Ice teased as he went over and start kissing her neck playfully.
Cassie started giggling like a little girl. "Okay okay, I accept!" she squealed, "That's a good enough prize!"
Ice smiled as he stopped kissing her but kept her in his arms. "Excuse me for being in love with a pretty girl" he said flirtatiously.
Cassie blushed. "Oh you little tiger! Man it's been awesome knowing you for a whole year and counting" she said, "You're the best guy ever!"
"You're pretty great yourself, sweet thang. We should do something extra special tonight" Ice replied as the two kissed each other.
"Alright, so this is my office, where you girls will be with me!" Agent Tag said to Micky and Jade as they walked into his office, "Captain Black and Jackie agreed that you girls would be training under me, although Viper has agreed to help me out every once in a while, since you girls are close to her as well!"
"Funny how it's you who's training me, Tag" Jade said, "Especially since I invaded your mission when you were going to retrieve the Doomsday device from Dr. Necrosis and me and Jackie ended up saving your butt."
Tag laughed. "Oh goodness you're still holding that against me? I must admit that I was impressed with your ingenuity at such a young age so I'm excited to be able to help you master your skills!"
"This is the coolest thing ever!" Micky exclaimed.
"Yes, well being a secret agent is pretty awesome!" Tag replied. "First we'll chat about some of the most important things that all secret agents should do. First, you gotta stay top secret, and everything you do should too! There's lots of villains in the world and I've made quite a few enemies since I became spy and they're always looking for ways to get revenge or power and stuff like that so you don't want to reveal yourself unless it's mandatory. So we'll be sure to do some real life simulations so that you girls definitely get that concept down. Second important thing is this old proverb, which goes "the greatest victory is the battle not fought"."
"Unless it makes good reality TV!" Micky blurted out, which made Jade giggle.
Tag laughed out loud. "Unless it makes- oh Micky, you little wisecrack! But seriously, don't ever put yourself into a battle that's not necessary! You don't want to have everyone be your enemy! Third, you need to be careful and precise. One slip up can totally jeopardize your mission! And finally, be fearless! When you're focused and determined, you'll get a lot accomplished."
"Sounds good to me!" Micky said.
"Good!" Tag replied, "Now, let's go through the awesome stuff in your bag and I'll show you how all of it works, and then I'll take you on a detailed tour around Section 13 so that you know where all the important stuff is."
Later, in the middle of the night, Lydia woke up in a cold sweat. She had a random jumble of nightmares and was feeling unusually frightened. Her heart was racing and she tried hard to slow down her respiration rate. Valmont rolled in bed beside her and slowly woke up, sensing that something was wrong with his wife. "Darling, what is it?" he said groggily as he started to wake up.
Lydia stared blankly into space, feeling completely terrified. "I...I don't know...I...have this really bad feeling."
"About what? Are you feeling ill?" Valmont asked.
"No...I...babe this is gonna sound really weird, but I just have this bad feeling that the magical ultimate evil that we defeated last year is not completely defeated...something...someone has the potential to terrorize the earth."
