We now see a boy with brown hair and a karate gi punching and kicking a giant punching bag. But what he didn't know was that he was being watched by a WP. This one happens to be a glowing rat creature, he just scurried along the floor and equipment of the Wayne karate dojo while the boy didn't even notice.
And in the ducks we see the boys of Team Timbers soaring through the tubes of the Wayne, Ollie and Ansi riding Ollie's grappling hook which I recently learned his called: "Grapvine". And the thing Saraline uses is called: "Snatch Adams". Odd names. Speaking of Saraline Timbers:
"Okay guys, your mission: apprehend WP, the Glunnan. Highly radioactive and deadly when frightened." she spoke through the communicator.
"Oh great, neon squirrels, radioactive rats. What's next a blood thirsty grizzly bear?" Ansi exasperated as he heard the weird creature of the hour.
"You're so cute when you're annoyed."
"Excuse me?"
"SARALINE! Ixnay on the Ushcray." Ollie whispered.
"Huh wha, uh get the rat fast! He's in the dojo, and there's a norman with him!" Saraline cal
"Got it!"
"You can count on me Saraline!"
The girl just sighed at the tall boy's response, "I can always count on you Ansikins." Saraline let another one escape.
"Uh what did you call me?"
"DOH! Uh, Ansi! I said Ansi hehehe." Saraline immediately sighed off before any more embarrassment can be induced. She slapped her hand into her forehead in frustration, "Dang it Saraline, you got to control yourself!"
Next we see the team in a six man sword fight with some undead knights, while Ansi and Saraline were back to back keeping their enemies at bay. Saraline chose to try to get some idol chitchat in. She turned her head slightly to the left to get a glimpse of Ansi and his zig zag sword, "So Ans, you have any plans after this?"
Ansi raised an eyebrow at the out of nowhere question while clashing swords with a sentient suit of armor, "Well if I don't get my head chopped off, I was going to look around the Wayne business center, then probably hit the gym for a few."
After they had side stepped and the knights they were battling took out each other, Saraline asked with little half lidded eyes and a teeny flirtatious voice, "You work out now?"
"Well," Ansi rubbed his neck embarrassedly, "I thought I would try to like get a little more muscle on these noodle arms." He put his free hand out front, and his arm comically waved like a noodle. Saraline let out a small giggle, which kind of surprised the new resident to the Wayne.

"Oh Ansi," she wooe'd while grabbing his free hand, "you don't need muscles to impress a woman." She stared at him with loving smile, which kind of made the boy more uncomfortable.
"Uhhhhh okay." he commented while looking around him. And Ollie the whole time was running from his knight.
And then we find the two in the Wayne secret library, while Ansi read his book, Saraline just spent the entire time staring at him. And she had constant daydreams he would take her away on a unicorn into nowhere land.
"Grrrrrrrr" the brains of Team Timbers growled at the very demeaning actions she has prompt with her new crush on this tall skinny boy who just moved here and wore those ridiculously short shorts. She always deemed stuff like crushes and love beneath her, she said she was too old for those kinds of things. She said the same to relaxation and babysitters. She does know she's a seven year old girl right? And when Ansi becomes a technical teen in three years, she'll probably not even hit double digits. Point is, by avoiding this 'immature' prospect, she found herself having no clue on what to do about love.
"Great, because of my trying to be a feel like a grown up I have no idea on what I'm doing about my crush on ANSI!" she shot Snatch Adams at a perfectly stacked pile of boxes she just set up. "Drats!"
She proceeded to clean up the mess again. "Well if I'm going to make Ansi my future husband, I'm gonna have to do some research on the aspect of romantic love."
So she spent the next four hours watching some of Ollie's cartoons to find something that will help her. "Hmmm, well this seems a little unorthodox but- wait what am I doing?" she tossed her notepad away and turned off the TV. "Siggggggh. I guess I'm gonna have to trust my instincts."
Later...
We then see Ansi who looks to have seen better days stumble into the Hutch, which I happen to looked up is the name of there hideout. "Uhhh, that was a rough encounter. You didn't make it easy did you?" he asked as he held up a containment box with the glowing rat in it. He just squeaked in response.
"I need a nap after that." Ansi then collapsed on a surprisingly soft couch that was suddenly in the hutch. "Woah, this is surprisingly comfy."
"Hey Ansi." Saraline cutely greeted while wearing a little apron over her coat, and carrying a small plate of salad. "How was the Glunnan?"
"Like a three year old who refuses let go of his teddy bear. Ollie saw a falcon flew by the window and totally forgot about the mission." Ansi grumbled at the older Timbers' easy distractability. Which is not even a word, but it means Ollie is easily distracted. Which he is, and stupid.
"Hehe of classic Ollie. Anyway, thought you might like a snack after a hard battle. Your favorite salad with a glass of apple juice." She sat the things in front of the exhausted boy.
"Oh, uh thanks Saraline." He took the plate and neatly ate the little salad. Much to the seven year old's delight. She then climbed onto the couch and moved his head to lean on a pillow above her tiny legs. He turned his head to face
the girl for her actions, but from his new position it made her look like a giant and he let out an eep. "Uhhh,"
"Thought you'd be more comfortable with an elevation for your head." she excused.
"Uh thanks I guess." He continued to eat as he felt those eyes of hers staring at him. He was getting seriously worried about his tiny friend. That hungry and almost 'love' filled eyes were just the tip of the iceberg. He found Saraline volunteering to do his geeky activities with him, she gave him playful chitchat at very unoppertunistic times, and he would nearly hear her call him things like Ansikins or Papa long legs or other 'playful' nicknames. He knew the little brainiac of Team Timbers was never this soft and nurturing, she was more of a serious girl who looked to get her goals achieved and have no time for trivialities.
"Um Saraline, is there something wro-" he tried to ask but was interrupted by Saraline turning on the TV.
"Oh look a new episode of Secret Mysteries!"
"SECRET MYSTERIES!" He perked up and gave his undivided attention to the TV, not caring that Saraline just rested her head on his arm and snuggled up to it. "What was I talking about, hmmmp probably come to me after the show."
"Hey guys!" Ollie shouted as he entered the hutch, "Sorry I'm late, the eagle I followed was heading North so I got lost and somehow ended up in Canada. Fun fact, the Canadian bacon they have is just sliced ham!" He complained he pulled out a slice of ham from a bag he carried. But he got no response from Ansi who's attention was glued to the screen, and Saraline who he found hugging his best friend's arm in a vice grip. "Well my sister seem to be handling her love for Ansi better, at least she hadn't tried to take his DNA to clone him again. OOoooo Secret Mysteries!" he jumped on the couch to join them. He tried to rest his arm on Ansi, but he got a snake hiss from Saraline, so he backed off into a chair nearby.
"Ok she's starting to go nuts. I gotta think of a way to help Saraline, but Ansi's still trying to get Julia. Despite the little... 'talk' she gave him."
"What talk?"
"GAAH!" he jump when he found Saraline off Ansi's arm and next to him with a face that says, 'Oh heeeeck to the NO!'
"Ummm uhh, well a Saraline. You know how Ansi had that thing for Julia Wiles?" he slowly asked.
"Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees." she answered with a growl and a glaring scowl.
"Well, funny story about that. I overheard Julia say something to Ansi, I'm not the best at remembering things but I think it went down like this. As soon as the next chapter is out." Ollie told her.
"WHat do you mean?" his sister raised an eyebrow at that last statement.
Ollie just gave us a thumbs up and a wink.
