It was so totally official; the guy was an embarrassment. Sure he was the head of an international spy organization. Sure he'd once been a jetsetter. Sure he schooled all three of them in piloting and who knew what else. Sure he'd been the one to train them, the one to save them time and time again, the one to do everything for them, but the guy was still an embarrassment. Not only in fashion taste, which was a biggie, might she add, especially regarding costumes, but in getting hit with everything under the sun. The passion patties, the love potion from Myrna, the weird devolving ray thingy, the weirdo makeup that froze people's expressions in place. The guy got into everything. His costumes were so disturbing it wasn't funny. He was rarely gullible, but when he was tricked he fell for them hard. The Feng Shui master, Lumiere the producer, the clones of her Sam and Alex. She still couldn't believe he'd fallen for those when the answers were so obvious.
Sammy… that was a whole different story. Despite all their bosses mess ups, despite all his humiliating and highly questionable choices, Sam still held the utmost respect for him. No matter how he screwed up, what he looked like, it was always respect she showed. She would tease him sure, but always lightly. Even when they'd forgotten who he was she'd treated him tolerably. Even when G.L.A.D.I.S had told them he wasn't the head of Woohp, she'd still wanted to rescue him, save him, go to him to ask him who and what they were. He could have told them anything then, and they'd have no choice to believe him, but Sam had risked it anyway. He could dress in a dress for all she cared, wear makeup, turn into a bloated mess or a love sick imbecile, and she still stayed loyal to him, still respected him, still did everything for him. And to be honest, it was kind of creeping her out. How was it possible for Sam to overlook so many faults? The only boy whose faults she'd ever overlooked was Blaine, and then only because she truly and passionately believed she loved him, that he was the one. But Sam and Jerry? Why? Why did she never bother trying to find out the answer? Was it possibly because the truth would just be too… too wrong?
