Chapter One
It was a nice day of spring and the night just fell. Most people enjoyed this wonderful weather and decided to take a nice walk through the park. You could see couples everywhere in the park, enjoying the wonderful night and enjoying the presence of the other. They were enjoying the wonderful experience called love.
But a young, light-brown haired man walked alone and he didn't look like he was there to enjoy the beautiful night.
Victor looked around him. Everywhere he looked, he saw couples; young people in love. He sighed. Tonight was Anita on a date with Alphonse. He didn't understand what she saw in him. He was a strange sculptor, making strange sculptures like the 'Boogie Ball' and the 'Ball of Lightness'.
Victor sat down on a bench. He just knew Anita would choose Alphonse above him. He could tell Anita that he loved her, but he knew that she didn't love him like he loved her. He shook his head. Everything should be better if they never met each other.
"Would you really wish for that?" suddenly sounded and Victor looked up. Next to him was a woman in a clear white dress and her hair lit up in the moonlight. It was like she appeared out of nowhere and now she was asking him this.
"Wish for what?" Victor asked. He couldn't remember that he'd seen the woman. "Do I know you?"
"Would you really wish that you never met Anita Knight?" the woman said, ignoring Victor last question.
Victor looked to the woman as she sat down next to him. "Anita seems to be happy with Alphonse." he said. "Ever since I met her for the first time, I loved her more than anyone else could love her. If I didn't meet her at our first day as partners, everything would be alright. I would never have to wait for her love, because I didn't know her. It would be the best for both of us."
The woman sighed. "Alright," she said. "I'll grant your wish. But, if you want to go back to the life you know now, you'll have to wait until midnight before I'll appear and you get just one chance to go back."
Victor gave the woman a strange look. "But will I know Anita then?" he asked. If she would appear again, how would he know how the 'real-life' was?
"When I come back, you'll remember immediately how your life was before the wish." the woman said and she looked into Victor's eyes. "Are you sure you want to do this wish?"
"If Anita's life and my life would be better, then yes, I want to do this wish." Victor said and a dazzling light followed.

The sun started to rise. The sky was clear, which meant that there was a big chance that one of the many enemies of U.Z.Z. would attack.
An alarm went off. Victor groaned and he gave a big smash on it, so it went silent again. Victor sighed as he got out of bed. Just another working day at U.Z.Z. He worked at the Control Room of the organisation of world defences, but he hoped he could work as a secret agent someday. Being a normal agent had his boring days, more than he would have when he would be a Secret Agent.
"Hey, Victor!" sounded when Victor went into the Control Room of U.Z.Z. H.Q. a few minutes before nine 'o clock. "We were afraid that you would be too late again." Scott said. Agent Scott was one of Victor's co-workers. Just like Agent Todd and Agent Kent Trusted.
"When you come just in time in the Control Room, it means just one thing." Todd said with a devilish smile when Victor walked to his seat.
"What does it mean?" Victor asked, not in the mood to play along with the game.
"That you went home alone last night." Todd said and he looked to Victor. "Other wise you would come at least thirty minutes too late." he added while he started to snicker.
"I told you guys, it's over between me and Ileana." Victor sighed as he sat down on his seat.
"So, what'll be next?" Kent asked and he looked to Victor. "A rare, smart blonde, a hot redhead or a mysterious brunette, just like Ileana?"
"You'll be working, that's next." sounded and their superior, Special Agent Ray, walked to them. "Agent Volt, I need you for the next mission."
"Yes, sir." Victor said and he stood up. Together with the blue haired Special Agent, he walked to one of the many Briefing Rooms of U.Z.Z.
"The last few days, a small number of artists received some hate mail." Ray said as the walked into a Briefing Room. Victor nodded. He heard about it, but he didn't know what he had to do with it. After all, he was just a normal U.Z.Z. agent, not a Secret Agent. "Every artist who received a letter gets an U.Z.Z. agent, just in case." Ray gave Victor a not with an address on it. It was an address in Italy. "Alphonse the Sculptor refused any help of U.Z.Z. He's afraid that U.Z.Z. would disturb his ideas. But he thought it was better to give his wife some protection."
"So, I have to protect his wife instead of protecting the artist?" Victor asked and Ray nodded. Victor wasn't really keen about it. Protecting an artist was already hard enough, but now he had to protect the wife! While he was an U.Z.Z. agent! He should be chasing bad-guys in stead of protecting some artists.
"Just do your job, Volt. When we hear any complains, I'll suspend you for at least a month!" Ray knew about Victor's reputation as womanizer, but Ray hoped that Victor would be smart enough to know that he shouldn't start flirting if he wanted to become a Secret Agent. It would be the best for both him as U.Z.Z. that he wouldn't do anything that would destroy the marriage of Alphonse the Sculptor.
