The sun was beginning to set as the sky turned orange.

"Whatever you guys are doing I am not going to be a part of it." Paul said with cross arms following his two friends Hugh and Dawn.

"Then why are you joining us?" Dawn asked with a girlish smirk stopped walking.

"I want to see you two make a fool out of yourselves." Paul replied.

"Oh? That's not it, you're hiding something!" Dawn didn't believe the reply Paul gave her.

"Hey, will you two stop flirting and hurry up!" Hugh yelled from a short distance.

"We're not flirting!" Paul and Dawn denied angrily in unison.

"Whatever you guys say." Hugh said rolling his eyes as he continued walking.

"I still don't know why Hugh wants to spy on Rosa." Dawn thought as the her and Paul continued walking. "Do you know what's gotten into him?"

"I don't know." Paul replied. "He began to act weird this morning when Rosa told us she was going out for the night with that Curtis guy."

"Hmm.. There's only one answer to that!" Dawn concluded. "Hugh likes Rosa!"

"Huh? What did you say Dawn?!" Hugh asked as he looked at the girl.

"Oh uhh nothing!" Dawn said in a slight panicked tone.

Hugh stared at Dawn for a while then turned his back and continued walking.

"Phew, that was close." Dawn sighed.

"You should really learn to have an inside voice." Paul suggested. "Your voice is really loud you know."

"Hmph! It is not!" Dawn denied as she hit Paul with her handbag.

"I think we're here!" Hugh said as he pointed at a club that had neon sign which says 'The Red Club.'

"Obviously since you saw the neon sign." Paul said.

"Alright!" Dawn exclaimed. "Let's go spying!"

Paul then put his hand on Dawn's mouth to shut her mouth. "Didn't I tell to use your inside voice?!" Paul asked.

Dawn nodded and Paul removed his hand from Dawn's mouth.

"Alright, let's go you two!" Hugh said as he headed towards the club followed by Dawn and Paul.


"Wow!" Rosa exclaimed in amazement as she looked at 'The Red Club' it was a beautiful club with the walls colored with red patterns, the floor was covered by soft red carpets, there were softdrink bars, dance floors, karaoke bars and lounges. "This place is amazing Curtis!"

"Yeah, it's a good thing I found a flyer about the grand opening of this club." Curtis said with a smile.

"Looks like you're not the only one who found a flyer." Rosa said as she looked at the many number of students who are at the club.

"Well it is the grand opening." Curtis laughed. "We better find some seats."

"Oh, yeah we should." Rosa agreed.

The two friends then spot two free stools at a bar and headed over there.

"Okay, we found our seats! What do you want?" Curtis asked as he sat on the stool. "I'm buying!"

"I think I would go with a Vanillite Cola. I like that because it's that cold essence when you drink it and it also gives you a rush of energy!" Rosa replied with a smile.

"That sounds good. I'll have that one too." Curtis said as he called a bartender.

The bartender made her way towards the two. "What do you two like?" the bartender ask with a smile.

"We would like for two Vanilite Cola please!" Curtis replied to the bartender.

"I'll be preparing it right away!" the bartender said as she began mixing the ingredients for the drink. "I'll be needing your student I.D card for the payment."

The two teens gave the bartender their I.D card and the bartender started preparing the drink.

"Oh, Curtis why didn't you include Hugh and Yancy for tonight?" Rosa asked.

"Oh, I planned on inviting Hugh but I had a feeling that he wouldn't want to come." Curtis replied. "As for Yancy she's started hanging out with the wrong kind of people."

"What kind of wrong people?" Rosa asked.

"The ones that just loiter around the campus, only coming to class when they feel like it." Curtis said. "I don't know how she got even mixed up with those people."

"Oh, that sucks." Rosa said with a sad expression on her face. "I hope she reverts back to her old self soon."

"Yeah.." Curtis agreed. "Oh hey, you said Hugh acted a bit strange this morning and before you left the dorm."

"Oh yeah I did say that. Yeah, he started acting strange when I told him this morning that you and I were going out for tonight." Rosa explained. "I think he felt a bit hurt that he wasn't invited to join us."

"Well yeah, I think I should have." Curtis said. "But then it would have been me and him with you. Two boys and a girl, I thought you might be bothered with you hanging out with guys."

"Oh no!" Rosa denied. "Back at my home, most of my friends back home were guys and Hugh is one of them."

"Huh? I didn't know you and Hugh were childhood friends." Curtis said with a shocked expression on his face.

"Well we were!" Rosa said. "We always hang out and play together but nowadays-"

"Excuse me.." the bartender interrupted the conversation. "Sorry for interrupting but here are your Vanilite Cola's. Oh and here's your student I.D cards."

The two teens thanked the bartender and proceeded to drink their Vanilite Cola. "Wow! You're right Rosa! This is awesome!" Curtis gasped at the taste of the cola.

"Told you!" Rosa smiled.

"What were you saying before you were interrupted?" Curtis asked.

"Oh, about Hugh." Rosa said. "Nowadays he's acting very weird."

"What kind of weird?" Curtis asked while drinking from the Vanilite Cola.

"The overprotective weird." Rosa answered. "He's constantly asking me where have I been, what took me so long and other stuffs."

"Maybe he sees you as a little sister so he keeps an eye on you." Curtis suggested.

"That could be the reason." Rosa sighed. "Let's just not talk about him for now."

"Sure. If that's what you want." Curtis agreed.


"Woo!" Erica cheered as she was dancing on the dance floor on the third floor of 'The Red Club.'

"Having fun over there Erica?!" Joshua asked his girlfriend while sitting on a table with Drew and May.

"Of course!" Erica giggled before busting more crazy dance moves.

"She's quite a dancer." Drew said while drinking a soda.

"Yeah, even I can't do that!" May added.

"Well that's obvious since Erica is much more thiner than you." Drew teased as he flicked his hair.

"Okay, so you basically just told me I'm fat!" May argued.

"I didn't even mention you being fat, I just said Erica is much more thiner than you." Drew corrected the bruenette girl.

May let out an annoyed grunt then proceeded drinking her ice tea. "Hmph!" May grunted.

"You guys are so funny when you are argue." Joshua laughed. "It's like watching a married couple."

"Whatever." May brush off the comment made by Joshua.

"You seem bothered May.." Drew smirked as he toss May a rose.

"Would you quit it with the rose thing?" May asked as she tossed back the rose. "Just give it to Brianna. I'm sure she would love it."

"Why would I give her a rose?" Drew asked as he tossed the rose back towards May.

"Obviously she's crazy about you." Joshua said.

"And she would be over the moon with joy if you give her a rose." May added.

"Nah." Drew brush off the points Joshua and May were giving. "I use flowers to tell a person how I feel. I don't see why I should give Brianna a rose."

"Use flowers to tell a person how you feel?" May said as she inspected the rose. It was a thorn less rose, the stem of the rose was free from any thorns it only showed the pure green stem that supported the blooming red rose. "If my knowledge on the language of flowers serves me right, then a thorn less rose means-" May gasped as she had realize what a thorn less rose meant.

"Love at first sight.." May said in her thoughts causing her to blush immensely

"Gah, forget what I said about that I give a person flowers to tell them how I feel!" Drew said in panicked tone as his cheeks started blushing. "I merely give people flowers to show them respect and uhh gratitude!"

"Hmm?" Joshua said as he noticed both Drew and May trying to hide the red blush the crept unto their cheeks from each other. "Well this turned to something interesting." Joshua whispered to himself with a smile.

"Hey guys! Boy I'm exhausted!" Erica said as she came back from the dance floor. "Oh hey May! Is that a thorn less rose?! I know that symbolizes love at first sight! Who is it from?!"

"Uhh uhh." May started panicking as she was unable to utter out a single word.

"Hmm? Is something wrong May?" Erica asked.

May didn't respond to Erica's question and looked down at the floor,

"Oh nevermind!" Erica shrug of her question. "Hey do you guys want to go to the photobooth?"

"That sounds good!" Joshua agreed. "What about you two?"

May and Drew without looking at Joshua or Erica nodded and got up from their seats.

"Let's head on over there now!" Erica exclaimed with a smile as she dragged Joshua off his sit. "It's just right over there!"

"Umm May, about that rose it's just uhh some kind of formality." Drew said to May attempting to not look at her because his cheeks were blooming with a red blush.

"Uhh, yeah I-I know." May said to Drew with her attempting to not look at him because of her cheeks blushing immensely.


Meanwhile...

"Okay, now that we're inside what are you two going to do?" Paul asked.

"Wow! This place is huge!" Dawn exclaimed in an amazement. "I think it's got three floors!"

"Okay, I'll go check the first floor. Dawn the second floor and Paul you check the third floor." Hugh instructed. "If one of us spots Rosa we contact each other and keep an eye on her!"

"Roger!" Dawn said.

"Didn't I told you two I'm not joining your stupid spy thing." Paul pointed out.

"Oh, you're no fun Paul." Dawn teased.

"I'm just here to see you two make a fool out of yourselves." Paul said.

"Oh come on Paul!" Dawn said. "It will be fun!"

"Spying on a person is fun? Is your 'spy suit' sucking out the air from your head?" Paul asked.

"No!" Dawn retorted. "Just give it a shot Paul!"

"No!" Paul swiftly replied.

Dawn gave out an annoyed sigh then made a smirked then began rummaging through her handbag. "What the hell are you doing?" Paul asked.

Dawn took out a black leather jacket with a hoodie and tossed it to Paul. "There, if you put that on no one would recognize you!"

Paul gave Dawn a glare then put the jacket and pulled the hoodie on. "Just this once you brat." Paul agreed.

"Okay, we're ready Hugh!" Dawn said but then noticed that Hugh had already left the two. "He already left!"

"I guess he got annoyed by all your pleading for me to join you." Paul suggested.

"He must have already started searching the first floor." Dawn added. "We should probably head to the second and third floor now."

"Don't need to." Paul said. "Because I think I may have spotted Rosa over there."

"What?! Where?" Dawn asked.

"Over there at that bar." Paul pointed the location.

"See, I told you this soy thing would work for you!" Dawn pointed out.

"Whatever." Paul shrug of the comment. "Call Hugh and tell him we spotted Rosa!"

"Oh right!" Dawn said as she reached for her phone and called Hugh. "Hello, Hugh we found Rosa on the first floor. She's at the bar, let's meet at that pillar near that bar near the entrance."

"Right, so what do we do now?" Paul asked.

"We rendevouz with Hugh at that pillar." Dawn answered and then headed towards the pillar.

Shortly after the two arrived at the pillar Hugh arrived as well.

"Okay, we've found her!" Hugh exclaimed. "Now we just watch her."

"Hey, what's the deal of leaving me and Paul?" Dawn questioned the dark blue haired boy.

"Well, you two were arguing again! I couldn't stand it any longer so I left you two." Hugh answered.

"That's not how spying works!" Dawn argued.

"You should listen to her since she acts like a real spy." Paul added.

"Well said my lowly accomplice." Dawn chuckled.

"What?! I'm no one's accomplice! You two just dragged me into this mess." Paul angrily and loudly corrected the blue haired girl.

"You two shut up!" Hugh yelled. "You two are going to blow our cover."

"Be quiet! We should not yell or shout when spying!" Dawn yelled to the two boys.

"Spying?" a familiar female voice asked.

The three then immediately notice the female voice and looked at the direction where the voice came. "Crap, our covers blown." Dawn muttered to the two boys with the two boys giving a slight nod.

"Is that what you three are doing?" Rosa asked.


Meanwhile...

"What? No way!" Leaf laughed.

"It's true, she practically just cried and screamed during that movie." Gary laughed.

The two of them were at the second floor having some general talks. "I guess hearing her screams was torture for you." Leaf said between laughs.

"Well not exactly." Gary said.

"Hey, do you want some drinks? I'm buying!" Leaf asked.

"Really?" Gary asked.

"Well since you were the one who paid for the smoothies back at café.." Leaf said.

"Oh yeah, I think I would go for a Margarine Essence would do for me."

"Are you kidding me?! That's the most expensive drink here!" Leaf complained.

"You said you were the one buying the drinks! So do it!" Gary smirked.

Leaf gave an annoyed sigh. "Fine." Leaf said rolling her eyes and proceeded towards the bar.

"Good evening! What would you like?" the bartender asked with a genuine smile on her face.

"I would like one Margarine Essence and one Carnate Whip Cream Cola!" Leaf said.

"Very well! I'll be needing your student I.D card." the bartender said.

Leaf handed her card to the bartender and the bartender began making the drinks. Leaf then took a sit on the stool and waited for the drinks to be finished. '"You know what, I think the old him is still there. Yes he has changed a lot, but I can still see the old Gary when he's not that playboy freak." Leaf said to herself as she thought of Gary. "Maybe there is a chance for us to have a good friendship. Maybe even more than just friends-"

Leaf then roughly slapped herself. "No, no, no! Why am I even thinking that! He has a girlfriend! Even though his girlfriend is a total bitch, I don't want to ruin their relationship. A good friendship with him is enough for me." Leaf scolded herself while trying hide the red blush that was blooming on her face.

After some minutes the bartender handed Leaf the drinks she had ordered and her I.D card. "Here you go!" the bartender said.

"Thank you!" Leaf smiled at the bartender and took the two drinks and headed back towards Gary.

When Leaf reached the seats where Gary was seating, Leaf stopped walking and her jaw dropped. Shocked at the sight her eyes was seeing. Sitting on Gary's lap was another girl, it wasn't Caitlin. But another girl, Gary's arms were wrapped around the girl while the girls hands were playing with his hair and the two of them kissing each other.

"What an idiot I am." Leaf insulted herself in her thoughts. "I thought there was still some of the old Gary inside him but no. The Gary Oak he showed to me earlier was just a mask. This is the real Gary Oak. A heartless playboy who only enjoys playing with heart strings."


Meanwhile...

"I'm in.." Agent 7 said as she was talking to someone on her phone.

"Very well, execute the plan now!" the other person on the end of her phone said.

"With pleasure." Agent 7 smirked as she put her phone on her pocket and exited the girls lavatory of the first floor of 'The Red Club'.

Agent 7 then made her way through at the end of the first floor, which was far away from the entrance and near the backdoor exit. She then walked into a table with two people. "Excuse me, but are you the researchers Soledad Chevarine and Harrison Laine from the G-MEN? " Agent 7 asked.
