I'd really like to thank all of the reviewers (especially Dixxy for this chapter! Thanks times a million Leo!) for helping me keep on track with my writing. Sometimes, I get distracted, and it's you guys that remind me where I was going in the first place. THANKS!

And now, enjoy!

Chris' POV

"Cathy, don't worry about it," Bryce said encouragingly to our blonde friend who currently had her head down hidden in her arms on the little table in the clubhouse. "These kinds of things happen to everyone."

"But now she knows where you are! Or she knows that I know. Still! I'm the one that let her take that note from me! She faked me out and I fell for it!" Cathy exclaimed, her distressed ramblings muffled as her head was still down on the table.

"Cath, calm down, it's alright! Remember that one time when we were fighting that one alien and I had that one thing that he wanted and he told me to look at the thing behind me and I did and he took the thing from me?" Danny asked. Cathy looked up at him with confusion.

"When was that?" she asked.

"It… never happened," Danny said, hanging his head. "I was just trying to cheer you up." A small smile formed on Cathy's face.

"You're sweet, Danny," she said, lying her head down on her right arm. Bryce sat down next to her.

"Wanna see something cool?" he asked. Cathy nodded. Bryce closed his eyes and focused hard until his antenna glowed yellow. I was half expecting rain again, and closed my notebook just to be safe. But this time, no cloud accumulated. Instead, the room began to glow even brighter than before as Bryce was able to simulate sunshine within the clubhouse.

"No way! That's so cool!" Danny exclaimed.

"Seriously!" Cathy added.

"Thanks! It's my favorite trick," Bryce said, focusing hard again and making the extra light disappear.

"So you're not mad at me?" Cathy asked, looking up at the silver alien.

"Nope. I know we'll think of some way to keep Phoebe away, even if she knows that you're a part of the MBC," Bryce answered with a shrug. "She doesn't know who that other three are. And there are ways to deceive her from finding the hideout."

Just then the door to the clubhouse opened and Sam came walking in. She smiled at me and I smiled back. I hadn't realized it until now, but I'd really missed Sam in the last couple of days.

"Hey!" she said cheerfully. "Guys, that was an awesome rumor you started about Chris kissing Phoebe." She smiled over at Cathy and me. "Jeremy told me that he overheard you talking about it." Cathy and I exchanged a glance.

"Actually, it's not a rumor. It really happened," I said. Sam stared over at me in disbelief. "But hang on a second! It was her that actually kissed me as a threat so I wouldn't give away their plan." Sam relaxed.

"Okay. I believe that," she said. "Those girls would do anything to keep their little plan under wraps. I'm just a little surprised that they'd stoop down to black mail."

"Actually, it works out great for us," Bryce said in reply. "They think that they have Chris under their control, but really, Chris is telling us everything that they're planning. So now it's like the good guys have a direct link into the world of the bad guys and thus our plan will work out even more smoothly."

"Except we don't know what Mark's up to," Danny pointed out.

"Mark's really not doing anything. He's pretty much just going along for the ride so he can try to get Cathy," Sam said, shaking her head. "He's not really problem, just an obstacle we have to work around."

"Good. Less we have to plot against," Cathy replied. "So what's the next part of our plan?"

"I think we should somehow lure Phoebe into some sort of a trap where we'll bust her so Bryce will be safe again," Sam suggested. "Any objections and o suggestions?"

"I think that sounds good," I responded. "And I think I know how we can get Phoebe alone as well as end this little feud with Wendy and Mark." All eyes shifted to me.

"We're all ears, buddy," Danny prompted me to continue forward.

"It's a little complicated, but I think it could work," I began with a slight warning. Sometimes things played out in my head better than in words, but I had to at least try to explain it. "So Danny will ask Wendy to meet him somewhere because he wants to talk to her. Knowing Wendy, this will probably make her happy and she'll try to get Danny to get back together with her. At that point, one of us will bring Cathy into the picture and then Cathy and Danny will 'break up'. Somehow we'll get Mark on the scene, and then he and Wendy will of course be so excited that the plan is working. Now of course, Phoebe will be with Wendy and it'll take some further scheming to get her away and bust her, but I think we can do it." The others exchanged looks.

"I like it, but what happens after the fake break up?" Sam asked.

"We'll stage something else in the same scene that involves the two of them getting back together," I answered. I hadn't really thought about it, but that sounded like a plausible answer.

"Okay. I think it sounds like a plan," Danny said with a smile. "Oh, this is gonna be so fun!"

Houston, we've got a plan.

(As opposed to a problem.)

Will their plan work out the way they want it to?

Find out in the next chapter! (Possibly the one after it… maybe…)

Review please! =)
