Ulrick's POV:

"What in the world were you boys thinking? The biggest crime of the century happens in what's practically your back yard, & don't even write an article about it?" Jeremy, Od, & I were lucky enough to get internships at a small newspaper in New York, & now the editor was yelling at us for Od's "brilliant story idea."

"Come on! Kadic's internship program makes a great story!" Od said. "We thought it would make people smile to see that there's still some good in the world…"

"We're a newspaper. We don't print articles about good things!" He pulled out a bunch of newspapers. "Don't you realize what you guys missed?"

We picked up the papers he threw on his desk. Skimming quickly, it seemed like Lady Diana's extremely expensive necklace was stolen yesterday…about a block from the apartment that the school provided for the program. Uh oh…

"Uh, well…You see, we thought that working on a piece about our school would be good for the paper, because…um…" I tried to come up with something, but wasn't sure what to say to keep us from losing our jobs.

"Because Jim used to work here." Jeremy finished, saving me from having to figure something out. "He loved working here, way back when. He went on & on about his time here…"

"Really?" Od asked. "He told me he'd rather not talk about it…"

Jeremy & I each glared at him.

"Oh yeh, he went on & on about it." Od said quickly. "He loved working here at the Times."

"The Chronicle." I corrected softly.

"Yep, he loved it here at the Times-Chronicle." Od said.

We're doomed.

The editor shook his head. "Listen boys, we don't normally take on interns. I gave you guys this chance as a favor to Jim…but you're fired."

"That went well." I said as we left the newspaper office. "Our first summer where we don't have to worry about XANA, & we're fired during our first week. That's wonderful."

"Yeh." Jeremy agreed. "It was expensive enough to fly here, I don't think my folks want me flying home so soon."

"Even if we try to stay in New York City, if the school finds out we got fired, they'll take away the apartment." I added.

"I guess we don't have any alternative." Jeremy said. "She was only in town for the day. It's not like we have the chance to interview her, or anything…"

"Einstein, you're amazing!" Od said. "Look, her fashion headquarters are based in London. Let's buy some plane tickets, go to London, talk to Lady Diana & get her exclusive story, write it up, send it in, & we'll get our jobs back!"

"Od, you're crazy." Jeremy said.

"What if it's crazy enough to work?"

As a writer, I tend to follow my crazy ideas. They always seem to lead to…interesting…story ideas…Sort of like this one, actually! This is an idea I had thought of a long time ago, & seeing The Great Muppet Caper again made me remember it. This time, I'm giving it a shot!
