The very next day, reports had gotten out that Mr. Bad had escaped from jail and was freezing all the cops in Bedrock. Of course, this didn't escape our crime fighting duo and they went to look for their adversary.

"Here we go again, Dad." Junior remarked as they patrolled the city.

"It's our duty as superheroes, son" Cavey said as they flew.

Just then, some sputtering noises started causing the two to lose their energy.

"Uh oh" said Cavey "Bad time for energy crisis"

As they started falling, Cavey took out a pterodactyl and he and Junior landed on its back.

"That was a close call!" Junior said as they landed on the pterodactyl.

Cavey took out a pair of binoculars and saw Mr. Bad, heading towards the snowy mountains outside of town.

"Me found him, son" said Cavey "Dactyl! After that short, square man in sunglasses!"

The pterodactyl nodded and flew towards the villain. Little did it realize that it was flying right into Mr. Bad's trap.

"Say your prayers Captain Caveman" Mr. Bad chuckled "And your little brat too"

The villain then drew out his ray gun and fired it towards the approaching pterodactyl.

Before the heroes had time to react, they were hit by the ray and were instantly frozen into a block of ice!

Mr. Bad manically laughed "I've done it at last! I've defeated Captain Caveman and his stupid brat! Now to dispose of them"

Mr. Bad carried the two frozen cavemen and dactyl into a dark cave and placed them there.

We now fast forward to several million years later in the present-day.

We see Dee-Dee Sykes, in her bedroom sleeping and having a nice dream.

It was a typical school day, and before Dee Dee knew it, the alarm clock rang, shattering her dreams.

"Oy vey" she sighed as she climbed out of the bed and started to get ready.

She first went to do her business in the washroom, then she changed into her typical outfit.

As she brushed her hair and apply makeup, her mother can be heard yelling, "Honey, breakfast is ready!"

"Coming mama" said Dee Dee.

She then grabbed her school bag and raced down the stairs to the dining room where her parents were at the table.

"Morning mama, morning daddy" said Dee Dee.

"Morning sweetie" said her mother.

Dee Dee sat down and started eating the waffles on the table.

Her father was drinking a cup of coffee and reading the morning newspaper as she ate,

"Hey look at this" said her father "Four teenagers and talking shark in Aqua Bay form local rock band"

"A talking shark? Now that's just ridiculous" said Dee Dee.

"I won't say that, dear." Her father replied. "Your mother and I had an old friend whose son managed to bring together a team of kids and a talking dog to hunt a phantom that was haunting the school library."

"Wait a minute, daddy" said Dee Dee "Didn't you and mama used to solve mysteries when you were my age?"

"Yes dear, we did" her father nodded.

"What kind of mysteries?" Dee Dee asked.

"Unmasking bad guys in monster and ghost costumes" said Dee-Dee's father "Your mother, your Aunt Judy, your Uncle Brad, your Uncle Pericles and I solved mysteries every week and it was an awesome time doing it. Even though some people haunted the places for irrelevant reasons"

"I see." Dee Dee nodded before eyeing the time on the clock and added, "Oh, I'd better hurry! The school bus will be here in any moment!"

She hurriedly finished her breakfast, grabbed her school bag and rushed out of the house after saying her good-byes to her parents.

"Bye momma" Dee Dee kissed her mother.

"Bye sweetie" said Dee-Dee's mother.

"Bye daddy!" Dee Dee said as she quickly kissed her father's lips as well.

She then raced out of the house and headed for the school bus stop.

Dee Dee was in time. As she huffed and reached the stop, she can see the school bus making its turn onto the road and approach the stop.

She got into the bus and saw her best friend, Taffy Dare sitting down and went over to their seat.

"Hey, Taffy." Dee Dee said as she went to her friend.

"Morning Dee-Dee" said Taffy.

"Hey Taffy" said Dee Dee "There's a family moving in next door from my house and I think their kid is going to come to our school"

"Oh, really?" Taffy asked.

"Yeah" said Dee Dee "Maybe we'll meet her when we get to school"

Taffy nodded as the bus drove onto a highway, where traffic is backed up by the heavy rush hour traffic flow.

"Rats" said the bus driver "Traffic!"

Everyone on board the bus groaned.

After a few minutes, the traffic finally cleared up and the bus was just about close to the school building.

The driver made a mental note to himself to find an alternate route and avoid the city's main highway during rush hour as the bus approached the school building.

Finally, the bus stopped and everybody got off. Taffy and Dee Dee walked to their lockers so they could get their books.

"That was horrible traffic" Dee Dee remarked.

"Well at least we're here Dee Dee" said Taffy "Come on, we'd better get to homeroom"

The two walked to their homeroom class, where they noticed a girl with wavy brown hair sitting at a desk and reading a book.

"I'm guessing she's the new neighbor?" Taffy asked.

"Maybe" said Dee Dee "Maybe we should go ask her"

Just before the two could get up, the teacher came up to the front desk.

"Morning students" she said.

"Good morning Ms. Watson" said the students, in a melancholy manner.

"Today, we're going to go review yesterday's class on the American Revolution." Ms. Watson stated as she got down to the class.

"Aw man" Taffy whispered to herself "I totally forgot about that"

"Now get your books out to page 12" said Ms. Watson "But before we start, we have a new student in our class. Could you please come up here, honey?"

The new student nodded and got up from her seat before making her way to the front of the classroom.

She held her book close to her chest and looked kind of shy.

"Now kids say 'hello' to our new student, Ms...uh...um...Barbara Stance"

"Uh...it's Brenda Chance, Ms." The new girl corrected Ms. Watson.

"Whatever" Ms. Watson deadpanned "Anyways, Brenda's family just moved to Coolsville and I want all of you to make her feel welcome. Brenda you can sit in that open seat next to Dee Dee"

Brenda walked over to Dee Dee and sat in the seat next to her. The teacher then carried on with the class while Dee Dee and Taffy glanced at Brenda.

Brenda had her nose in the book and didn't bother to look at the two.

A couple of hours later or so, it was lunch break and Dee-Dee and Taffy found Brenda sitting all by herself.

"Wow" said Dee Dee "Brenda looks kind of lonely"

"Yeah" said Taffy "Its difficult to fit in when you're the new kid"

"Why don't we go sit with her?" suggested Dee Dee "She could use some company"

"Fine by me." Taffy shrugged.

The two girls then pick up their lunch trays and made their way to Brenda's table.

"Mind if we join you Brenda?" Dee Dee asked Brenda.

"Sure" Brenda made a small smile "I'd love some company"

Taffy and Dee Dee sat down in front of the petite brunette.

"I'm Dee-Dee and this is my friend, Taffy" Dee Dee introduced herself "When did you move here?"

"Just this past weekend." Brenda replied. "However, the reason why I wasn't in school in the past two days was because the school board haven't gotten my school transfer paperwork in order."

"So why did you and your family move here?" asked Taffy.

"Taffy!" Dee Dee elbowed her.

"What did I do?" asked Taffy.

"It's not polite to ask that sort of question." Dee Dee said.

"Sorry Brenda" said Taffy "I didn't mean to hurt your feelings"

"That's okay" Brenda said, sadly "I don't really like to talk much about it anyways"

"Well what do you like to do, Brenda?" asked Dee Dee.

"Well, I do enjoy reading." Brenda said.

"That's interesting" said Dee Dee "What kind of books do you like reading?"

"Epic novels and classic literature" said Brenda "I also like writing and painting"

"I see." Taffy nodded.

"So what do you guys like to do?" Brenda then asked.

"Well I like science and I love to solve puzzles" said Dee Dee "I'm on the honor roll here"

"Wow" said Brenda "You must be really smart. What do you like to do, Taffy?"

"I really love shopping and anything that's in season and shoe sales" said Taffy.

"Golly, that's great" said Brenda "You know, I would love to be a writer when I grow up"

"I'd like to be a fashion designer and dancer" said Taffy.

"I'd really like to be a biologist" said Dee Dee "But I'd also like to start a mystery solving club for now"

"What's that?" asked Brenda.

"It's a club where we get together and solve mysteries." Dee Dee said.

"Yeah, stuff like who's been, let's say, stealing stuff around school." Taffy said.

"Or more like, who's been dressing up as a phantom and scaring people away from, let's say, the school library and why." Dee Dee added.

"You know I read about some kids in Coolsville unmasking a ghost the other day" said Brenda.

"Oh, you did?" Dee Dee asked. "What do you think of that news?"

"I think it's scary" said Brenda "Ghosts are scary and so are solving mysteries. They make me nervous"

"Even if they could be phony?" Taffy asked.

"Yes" said Brenda "The last thing I want is to get captured by a scary guy in a Halloween costume and spend my weekends dealing with it"

"Well this weekend my mom and dad are taking me and Taffy on a ski trip" said Dee Dee "Would you like to come with us?"

"Well, as long as there's nothing scary involved, then I'm fine." Brenda replied. "Except that I can't ski."

"Don't worry Brenda" said Taffy "We'll teach you. I mean, you learn something new everyday"

"Yeah" Dee Dee added "Plus, we'll be at the Twin Lodges. It's perfectly safe"

"Sure." Brenda nodded. "I'll have to talk to my parents about it."

"That's good" said Dee Dee "Say, a family just moved in next door from my house. Was that you guys?"

"I think so, maybe." Brenda said with a shrug. "What's your address?"

"77 Mel Blanc Drive." Dee Dee replied.

"What a coinkidink" Brenda said. "I just so happen to live right next door."

"So that means you and I are next door neighbors" said Dee Dee "My mom and dad were going to invite you guys over for dinner tonight"

"Oh, how thoughtful of you guys." Brenda smiled.

"Yeah" said Dee Dee "My parents don't have work tonight, so we can have you and your folks over tonight"

"Thanks" said Brenda "It would be nice to feel welcome to the neighborhood"

"Speaking of welcome to the neighborhood, where was your last school, Brenda?" asked Taffy.

"Oh, it's at my old town in Central City." Brenda replied.

"Really? What was it like there?" asked Taffy.

"Well, it's more busy." Brenda said. "Being a busy city, you know, but some areas can be quite sketchy."

"What do you mean?" Dee Dee asked.

"You've got several buildings that sat empty and unused, and the mayor is really unpopular and didn't do much in solving the city's problems like growing poverty and crime rate, and it's actually quite an embarrassment to live in a city with him as the mayor." Brenda said. "All he cares is himself and the city's tourist attractions."

"What's his name?" Taffy asked.

"Mayor Henry Iverson" said Brenda.

"Oh, I think I've read about that slimeball in the news." Dee Dee said. "And I don't blame you for what you've said. He tried to demolish a national historical landmark to make way for a modern school."

"That doesn't sound right at all." Taffy agreed. "Who in their right mind will want to get rid of a national historical landmark if it attracts tourists?"

"Which is also ironic, given that all he cares about is the city's tourist attractions." Brenda folded her arms.

"One things for sure, he's one screwed up mayor" Taffy remarked.

"Yeah" said Brenda "Luckily, some kids from my old school saved it from demolition with some oil painting in the wall. Some people also claim there was a ghost involved, but that's a bunch of baloney"

Dee Dee and Taffy both nodded just as the bell rang.

"Zowie" said Taffy "Lunch is over! We'd better get to our next period"

The girls picked up their items and rushed for their lockers.

Eventually, school ended and the girls headed into the bus on their way home. After dropping Taffy off at her stop, Dee Dee and Brenda were on their way home.

Author's Note:

Looks like we've finally gotten to the frozen part of the origin story. Now, we've met the Teen Angels, but they aren't the Teen Angels yet. I guess there's not much to say from here but...stay tuned.
