(A/N: All right! Here we are with "Share-A-Lair"! Before we begin, XxKaiotasticxX requested a kitten named Max to appear in this story, and I'm granting his request. If you don't like it, that's your problem. But if you're okay with this, then I'm wasting time, so I'll start this episode!)
At T.U.F.F., the Chief announced that they were expecting a transmission from their new field operative, when he heard something. It turned out that Dudley was drinking from the toilet, but Dudley said it was the water fountain.
"That's the water fountain." the Chief said, pointing to the water fountain.
"Someone should hang a sign. In the meantime, NOBODY DRINK FROM THE WATER FOUNTAIN!" Dudley yelled while Kitty started drinking from the water fountain. But when Dudley said it, she spat out the water and wiped off her tongue.
"How can Dad confuse the water fountain and the potty?" George said.
"At least he knows it in the future." Molly reminded him.
"Yeah, but this is the past, remember?" Summer said. The children sighed, wondering what to do.
At that moment, a male kitten appeared before their eyes in a flash of light. His fur was the color of cinnamon, and he also had blue eyes. He wore a red shirt, blue pants, and black shoes. He also looked to be around the same age as the triplets, or maybe a year or two older.
"Wow... who are you?" Molly asked, batting her eyes at the new kitten.
"I'm Max. Who're you?" asked the kitten, who we now know as Max.
"I'm Molly." Molly introduced, looking away shyly.
"Ooh, Molly's got a boyfriend!" George declared.
"No, I don't!" Molly exclaimed.
"Yeah, you do." George told her. Turning to Max, he said, "I'm George. Molly's my sister, and that's our other sister, Summer."
"Nice to meet ya." said Max, and he shook hands with each of the triplets. Though Molly couldn't help blushing a little when Max shook hands with her.
While this went on, Keswick said that the transmission from Agent Rodentski was coming through. Then this ball Keswick held projected a hologram of Agent Rodentski, who was a mouse.
"EEK! A MOUSE!" cried Agent Jumbo, who was an elephant, and it's said that elephants are afraid of mice. Agent Jumbo tried to stomp Rodentski, but instead, she crushed the Chief before running away, crying.
"Red alert, T.U.F.F. agents! D.O.O.M. is about to launch a missile-strike against T.U.F.F. headquarters!" Agent Rodentski said.
At this news, the T.U.F.F. agents launched a counter-strike and ran screaming into the bathroom. Even the kids ran into the the bathroom (Molly pulling Max behind her). However, Dudley ran to the water fountain.
"Dudley, that's the water fountain!" Kitty yelled.
"I TOLD YOU TO HANG A SIGN!" Dudley yelled.
Then the missiles were launched.
At the Diabolical Order Of Mayhem, Snaptrap and his men were playing "Scrabble", and Snaptrap was spelling a word.
"That's 'schmoodled', for 370 points!" Snaptrap said.
"That's not a word! Use it in a sentence!" Larry said. Snaptrap shot Larry with his blaster and said, "There! I schmoodled Larry!" Snaptrap said.
But that was when they were receiving a transmission from their field operative, Agent Weaselman.
"Sorry you're not here at our ice cream social. We're having pistachio with rainbow sprinkles." Snaptrap said, putting colorful skull-shaped sprinkles on his ice cream cone.
"Actually, I'm glad I'm not there. T.U.F.F. has launched a missile-strike against you. You're about to be schmoodled!" Agent Weaselman announced. Snaptrap screamed and told his men to launch a counter-strike while he finished Larry's ice cream. So Ollie launched the counter-strike. The missiles passed each other and blew up the opponents' headquarters. (A/N: However, when the kids saw the missiles, they quickly escaped from the building via a hidden exit.)
"Boy, we really got schmoodled." Dudley said as he popped up from the ruins of the building. But they'd need a temporary H.Q. while T.U.F.F. was being rebuilt. The Chief knew the perfect spot, too!
They were at Pete-Za Possum Party Palace. Some of the agents were eating pizza, and there were a lot of little kids running around.
While everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves, the triplets were talking to Max.
"So, are you from this time, or the future? We got here from the future." George said to Max.
"I came from the future, just like you guys. And I used a time-machine." Max replied.
"Where have you been all my life?" Molly asked.
"I wish I had been in Petropolis." Max replied, giving Molly a hug. Molly sighed dreamily, but George and Summer still couldn't believe that Molly was in love.
"I told you this was perfect. Somebody pass me a slice of pepperoni." the Chief said. A kid dropped a slice of pizza on the Chief. The Chief lifted the slice and said, "Thank you, Tommy. Oh, and happy birthday."
Then Dudley, Kitty, and Keswick emerged from the ball pit, and they had pink-eye, which wasn't good. Plus, they were getting another transmission from Agent Rodentski, who scared Agent Jumbo again.
"D.O.O.M. is launching another missile-strike!" Agent Rodentski exclaimed.
"Tommy, blow out the candles and initiate counter-strike!" the Chief said to Tommy.
Tommy blew out the candles, then lifted the cake and pressed a button. With that, the missiles were launched.
Meanwhile, Snaptrap and his men were at their new headquarters, which was Mrs. Yip's Salon.
"We can discuss our top-secret evil plans, and get a mani-pedi." Snaptrap said. While admiring the polish he picked, Agent Weaselman (who was on a monitor) said, "Attention, D.O.O.M.! T.U.F.F. has launched another missile-strike!"
"We need a counter-strike! Mrs. Yip, shave my toes and fire the missiles!" Snaptrap ordered. Mrs. Yip got out a lawn-tool, then pushed the button to fire the missiles. The missiles passed each other and destroyed the opponents' headquarters.
Now D.O.O.M. had a new library lair, and Snaptrap loved it.
"There's free wi-fi, and I found this great book on how to grow your own herb garden." Snaptrap said. Then the librarian shushed him, so Snaptrap told Larry to put a cobra in her car. Larry went to do just that, and then Agent Weaselman said that T.U.F.F. was planning another attack.
"Do you ever call with good news?" Snaptrap asked. Then they fired the counter-strike. T.U.F.F. and D.O.O.M. fired missiles at each other like there was no tomorrow.
Eventually, almost every building in town had been blown up, and the T.U.F.F. agents were in the dump. Actually, the dump was City Hall, but they accidentally blew it up.
Just then, a white bunny popped up, saying, "Hi, I'm Bunny with Petropolis Realty, and I just happened to be trolling the dump for clients! You folks look like you could use a new office."
"No, we're good. We've got a campfire, and this ugly shoe to chew on." Dudley said, and he started chewing on the shoe. He didn't realize that it was Kitty's shoe, and that she was still wearing it.
"DAD, WAIT! THAT'S-" George, Molly, and Summer cried, but Kitty said, "That's my shoe!" She pulled her foot away and hit Dudley on the head with her leg. Dudley and Kitty got into another slap-fight.
"Not again!" the triplets facepalmed.
"What do you mean 'again'?" asked Max.
"They got into a slap-fight like that a while back." George explained.
"Every slap-fight they get into might keep them from falling in love. If Mom and Dad don't fall in love, they won't get married, and we'll be erased from existence." Molly added.
"And that could ruin the future as we know it." Summer said.
"I hope they fall in love." Max said.
"Us, too." the kids added. During their discussion, the Chief said that they'd take the office.
Later, they were all in a building that said "For Rent". Bunny said that it was the only building in town that hadn't been blown up. And it was already half-rented, so they'd have to share. Bunny opened the door, and when the T.U.F.F. agents (and children) stepped in, they gasped in shock!
"D.O.O.M.?!" the Chief exclaimed. Sure enough, Snaptrap and his henchmen were there, sitting at a table and enjoying ice cream cones. When they saw the T.U.F.F. agents (they weren't concerned about the kids), they dropped their cones and exclaimed, "T.U.F.F.?!"
Bunny ran off after that, and the members of T.U.F.F. and D.O.O.M. pulled out their blasters, and Snaptrap said, "You T.U.F.F agents destroyed every one of our evil lairs, and ruined a perfectly good mani-pedi. It's payback time!"
"You started this fight, and now we're gonna finish it!" the Chief exclaimed.
"No! You started it, and we're gonna finish it!" Snaptrap exclaimed. Before they could blast each other, Kitty said that if they attacked each other at that moment, they would destroy their own headquarters!
"Kitty's right. We're gonna have to call a truce and share the office." the Chief said.
"D.O.O.M.? And T.U.F.F.? Sharing an office? How will that work?" Snaptrap asked.
One "Brady Bunch" theme parody later...
"Okay, that makes sense. This is gonna work out great!" Snaptrap exclaimed.
As Dudley made a line between the sides, the T.U.F.F and D.O.O.M. agents eyed each other suspiciously.
Dudley had a rubber band, and he shot it at Snaptrap. Snaptrap was hurt by it, and he glared at Dudley with a painful-looking sore throbbing on the side of his head. Dudley ran to Kitty, and they did a secret handshake as they smiled at each other. The children seemed to enjoy that prank, too, as they were laughing about it to themselves.
Now Keswick was working on a robot like the Iron Giant, but when he stopped and removed his goggles, there were black circles around his eyes, and Larry was standing nearby, holding a black marker and laughing about it. The kids glared at Larry for that.
Later, Larry was looking around suspiciously, but when he was going to take a sip of the coffee in his mug, a mousetrap came out of the mug and snapped onto his nose! Larry gave out such a pitiful wail as he fell to the ground, and more mousetraps snapped onto him! Dudley, Kitty, Keswick, the Chief, and the kids laughed at Larry's misery.
Ollie painted the word "Bathroom" on a door that led to a drop outside, and when Dudley saw it, he opened the door, and went in. The children knew that it was a trap, and they couldn't bear to hear Dudley hit the ground, but much to their surprise, they heard a toilet flush, and Dudley came back into the building. Ollie was just as puzzled as the kids were, but when he went through that door, he ended up falling to the ground below.
Kitty was in the break room, and she got a snack from the vending machine, but she ended up pulling a stick of dynamite out of the machine. Then there was an explosion, and some of Snaptrap's henchmen were laughing at Kitty, who was not amused. The kids weren't happy when they saw what happened to Kitty, and they were ready to go into attack mode.
Snaptrap was sitting at his desk, and the phone rang. He picked it up and said, "Hello!"
"Yes, is Anita Bath there?" asked a voice on the other end.
"Anita Bath?" Snaptrap asked.
"You sure do!" came the reply.
"HA!" Dudley said. Then Dudley, Kitty, Keswick, the Chief, and the kids all cracked up laughing. But Snaptrap was mad, and that meant war! Everyone pulled out their blasters, but nothing happened.
"Darn it! We're out of ammo!" Snaptrap said.
"Us, too!" the Chief said.
That was when the door opened, and Bunny stood there. She had a gift basket filled with assorted teas, fancy cashews, and 700 rounds of ammo! As they got the ammo, Bunny said, "Enjoy! Now go back to annihilating each other!"
"Wait a minute! Why is our real estate agent giving us ammunition?" Kitty asked.
"And isn't it a little coincidental that she rented us both the same office?" Dudley added. Bunny was sneaking towards the door, but Kitty blocked the exit, saying, "Something tells me that she's not really a real real estate agent at all!"
"For real?" Dudley asked.
"I don't know what you're talking about." Bunny said, and she was sticking to the wall and ceiling. Then she said, in a different voice, "Ooh, silverfish!" She snagged the bug with a long tongue.
"I'd recognize that tongue anywhere!" Dudley exclaimed.
"It's the Chameleon!" everyone shouted.
"Protect us, Mom!" George and Summer screamed, hiding behind their mom.
"Protect me, Max!" Molly cried, clinging to Max for safety.
It turned out that the Chameleon had disguised himself as Bunny, and the field agents. He did it so he could get T.U.F.F. and D.O.O.M. to destroy each other. He wanted revenge on T.U.F.F. for putting him in jail.
"But why would you want revenge on D.O.O.M.? We're bad guys like you!" Snaptrap pointed out.
"Bad guys who never invite me to your ice cream socials!" the Chameleon shot back. He went on to tell them how he sometimes stood alone in the rain, and he heard them enjoying their ice cream, sharing personal stories and rainbow sprinkles.
"But since you wouldn't annihilate each other, I will have to do the job myself!" the Chameleon said as he pulled out a weapon.
"I'd buy you were Bunny the realtor. And Agent Weaselman. But there's no way you were Agent Rodentski." Dudley said. Kitty didn't know what Dudley was talking about. Dudley was saying that Rodentski was a very realistic field mouse, and the Chameleon's not that good.
"I beg to differ! My field mouse won first place at my neighbor Mrs. Ungerman's costume party!" the Chameleon said, and he proved it by turning into Agent Rodentski. However, Agent Jumbo was terrified of mice, and she stomped on the Chameleon while he was Rodentski.
"It fooled the elephant." the Chameleon said, in pain. Kitty cuffed him after that.
Another "Brady Bunch" theme parody (this time shorter) later...
"Good job, Agent Puppy!" the Chief praised Dudley.
"Yeah. I like your style. Maybe we can get along!" Snaptrap said. But then his cell phone rang. The person on the other end asked if I.M. Stinky was there.
"I.M. Stinky?" Snaptrap asked.
"You sure are!" Dudley exclaimed, laughing out loud. Then everyone else started laughing, too.
"This means WAR!" Snaptrap shouted. Snaptrap and the Chief pressed the buttons that launched missiles that flew into space, then back down to earth, and then the building was destroyed.
The End
Stay tuned for a little quickie to find out what they do about Max!
