Arrival Of The Sundance Kids

"Sorry, Tom, I guess Cheetah's singing calmed you down a little too well." Alan said.

"I guess I should consider this even Steven for when Suzie, Anne, and I locked you in the closet while we were searching for Prince Hareem." Tom told Alan.

"Yeah, now we're even." Alan said to Tom.

Alan saw Stanley doing a rowing style stretch and heard his older brother's right shoulder crack.

"Oh! Now that feels better." Stanley said.

Henry just yawned and impatiently checked his wristwatch.

"When will Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kids get here?" Henry asked impatiently.

"Oh, Henry," Flip laughed. "just be patient."

Suddenly, the Sundance Kids arrived at the Worldwide Talent Angency.

"Oh wow," Stephanie, Wally, and Butch exclaimed. "the Chan clan is here!"

Merilee took one look at Anne who sat next to James, "Hmph!" she scoffed.

Anne looked at the individual members of the Sundance Kids' band.

"Butch, Wally, Stephanie, Merilee, and Elvis," Anne exclaimed. "it's so far out to see all of you again!"

Anne looked at James before standing up.

"Go ahead, Sheila," James said. "it does not bother me in the least if you hug either Butch or Wally."

"Thank you, James," Anne said. "you are indeed the best boyfriend ever!"

Merilee spotted Anne hugging Wally but she didn't even know that it was a friendly hug.

Well, Merilee thought sourly. if that little tramp thinks she can move in on my Wally, then she's got another thing coming.

Anne then gave a friendly hug to Stephanie.

"Thanks for the hug, Anne." Stephanie said to her good friend.

"You're quite welcome, Stephanie." Anne said kindly.

Anne then gave a much firmer friendly hug to Butch.

"Thanks for the hug, Anne." Butch said to his good friend.

"You're quite welcome, Butch." Anne said kindly.

"The Sundance Kids, Butch Cassidy," Butch said. "and the Chan clan reporting for duty, Mr. Socrates."

"Please proceed." Mr. Socrates said to Butch, the Sundance Kids, and the Chan Clan.

Butch, the Sundance Kids, and the Chan Clan went inside the room to talk to Mr. Socrates with Elvis & Chu Chu following close behind them.

Stephanie stopped the dog duo.

"Not you, Elvis," Stephanie said firmly. "you & Chu Chu stay out here!"

On the way in to see Mr. Socrates, Scooter had a question for Stephanie.

"Miss Stephanie?" Scooter asked.

"Yes, Scooter," Stephanie answered. "what is it?"

"How come Elvis & Chu Chu can't come in with us?" Scooter asked Stephanie curiously.

"That is because Mr. Socrates is allergic to dogs." Stephanie explained to Scooter.

"I understand much too well," Tom told Stephanie. "the presence of a feline aggravates my respiratory system!"

Once inside the room, they were awaiting their new assignment.

"What are our new orders, Mr. Socrates?" Butch asked curiously.

"I'll get to that, Butch, though," Mr. Socrates said. "but first, I need to explain a few things to the Chans."

"Explain away, Mr. Socrates." Henry said.

"First off," Mr. Socrates said. "Henry?"

"Yes, Mr. Socrates?" Henry answered.

"I had asked your father to tell your brother, Alan, to insert a special chip into yours, Anne's, and Scooter's Chan coms," Mr. Socrates said. "these special chips will act like Butch's ring, Henry, you are Chan clan leader number one, Anne, you are Chan clan leader number two, and Scooter, you are Chan clan leader number three, your cover is a gig at the imperial palace."

"The imperial palace," Suzie & Merilee said in unison. "groovy!"

Mr. Socrates printed out two identical envelopes.

"These envelopes contain further information about your mission, there is one for you Sundance Kids as well as one for the Chan clan." Mr. Socrates explained as Elvis sneaked in with Chu Chu trying to stop him.

"We won't let you down." Anne said to Mr. Socrates.

"Good," Mr. Socrates said to Anne. "and one more thing, (A-a-achoo)."

"What's that, Mr. Socrates?" Stanley asked.

"Get those dogs out of here! (A-a-achoo)!" Mr. Socrates said.

"Gesundheit, Mr. Socrates." Butch said as he, the Sundance Kids, and the Chan clan quickly raced out of the Worldwide Talent Agency.
