I didn't like that last chapter that much. It was written a little fast. But oh well. I think maybe around one or two more chapters left.

You know what? I really don't have much of a clue about James -;

AND IT'S ALL CAUSE MY PARENTS GOT RID OF THE CABLE!!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! But I've lived. It's only beena few months now. It'll….. get…… better……… BOO HOO HOO HOO!!!

Sam, Alex, and Clover trekked through the thick forest dense with leaves and trees and so many other plant-life. The air was thick and smelt of moss with a dampness that clung to their skin. The humidity was awful.

"My hair…" Clover pouted as she put her hands over her head in order to protect it.

"I don't even know where we are!" Alex complained as she pushed a giant leaf away from her path. As soon as the leaf was out of her way, she walking straight into another leaf dripping with water from the humidity. "Ack!"

Clover turned around from her place in the front of the line they were walking in. "Alex! Are you okay!?" Clover rushed to Alex's aid, breaking the leaf and wiping the water from her face.

"Uh… thanks Clover." Alex said rubbing her eyes.

"No problem. I'd do anything for my friends." Clover gave Sam a contemptuous glare.

That's right. Sam was still not forgiven. Clover can be so ignorant and childish at times, Sam thought as she watched Clover helped Alex with a forced concern. Why won't she listen to me? Sam became frustrated. She squeezed the twister scissors she was holding in her hand. It was a tracking device as well. It was leading them to a feint signal somewhere in the forest, and that's where Tim Scam probably was.

"Clover." Sam spoke, almost a whisper. Clover turned to face her. The glower upon herself made Sam shrink back into silence.

"Yeah, Sam?" Clover spat at her.

Sam was about to open her mouth. Open her mouth to oppose the hatred that was being shot at her. But before she could say anything, Clover spoke.

"Sam," Clover said, pointing her finger at Sam. "Don't think you're on good terms with me now." She stated. "If we weren't forced into this mission together, I wouldn't be here. I can't stand the sight of you right now!" Clover abruptly stopped what she was saying and almost softened up. It made Sam think that maybe she was realizing how unruly she had been acting. But the rock hard exterior of Clover's feelings came back again and just gave Sam a last glare and turned to leave her behind with Alex, who just stared at Sam

Sam's face turned red and her eyes puffed up a bit. Sam knew for sure she was going to cry. But the pride she had left wouldn't let her. Not right now. Not when she was in the middle of a mission.

"Sam?" Alex walked up to her partner. Sam brought her arm up her eyes and rubbed away any tears that might have leaked out.

As soon as Sam's arm went down, a smile was placed there. "I'm fine, Alex. Don't worry about me. Let's go catch up with Clover."

---

"Was I too harsh?" Clover walked in a slow pace. She had begun to go off course as the forest grew thicker. She didn't have the Twister Scissor with her. Sam had been holding on to it and told them where to go.

Clover shook her head. "No!" She whispered to herself. "It's all Sam's fault. She's the one who stole my necklace. I can't forgive her!" Clover walked on.

There was a rustle. There was a rustle in the leaves behind her. Clover quickly pulled out her gadget, the Laser Lipstick and turned around. "Who's there!"

There was a rustling. The rustling was behind her. Clover turned back. Was she surrounded? Or was it just one person messing with her?

"Alex?" Clover cried out. "…S…Sam?" Clover grew worried when she was not getting a reply. "Is that you, guys?"

"No."

All of a sudden she felt a cool sensation through out her body. It reaches from her lips to her legs. Her balance was lost and she tumbled to the ground with a muffled cry of pain. She could feel two hands grab her feet and pull her backwards, into the dense forest.

---

"Clover!" Alex cried out loud. The only reply she received were the sounds of birds. "Where could she be?!?" Alex sighed in defeat.

"We've only been looking for a few minutes. Don't worry." Sam coaxed Alex as she looked through some bushes.

"A few minutes are long enough!" Alex sat down on the ground and leaned on a tree.

"You don't suppose she's lost…" Sam wondered out loud.

"She has a knack for that." Alex laughed.

"C'mon. She went that way," Sam said as she pointed forward. "We should go in that direction.

Sam and Alex went through the thick leaves of the trees, completely oblivious to the two figures hiding in the bush behind them, watching.

---

Clover watched as Sam and Alex walked away from her. "Mmph!" She tried to get their attention, but she was gagged. Her whole torso was covered in a pink goop that clung to her like glue. It was strong as cement, and tight as rubber. Her captor turned her around to face him.

"Well, it seems your friends are busy looking for you." Tim Scam dragged her along on his merry way.

Clover looked half-heartedly to the side. Yeah, they were looking 'cause that's what good friends do.

---

Alex almost collapsed but Sam held her up. "Ugh. We've been doing nothing but walking ever since we got here! It's already been an hour!" Alex sighed and stood up.

"Hey, I'm tired too, but I'm not stopping till we find her." No matter how upset we are with each other, she thought.

"Yeah…" Alex agreed and walked forward, stepped on something, then burned a hole into the tree next to her. "AUGH!" She jumped back in fright and fell, landing on the ground with a thud.

"Huh?" Sam ran forward to examine what Alex triggered. "It's a Laser Lipstick! It's Clover's! She was here!" Sam reached out and held the object in her hands. "She must have dropped this."

"Then, she was in a rush!" Alex concluded.

"Right. Let's go forward."

They had ran for thirty seconds until they came to a halt. Their eyes widened at the sight in front of them.

Mandy looked up from where she was sitting. She had given up hope of anyone coming to her rescue. At first she saw nothing but iron bars around her. But then she heard footsteps. They were running towards her. It might be him! She thought. Mandy struggled in her bondage and cried through her gag. Was he coming to kill her now?

"Mandy!" A familiar voice cried to her. Mandy lifted her head up and looked into the eyes of Sam.

"Let's get her out of there." Alex suggested. She took the Laser Lipstick that Clover dropped and twisted the end of it, creating a beam of red that hissed as it hit the iron bars of Mandy's cage.

"What is she doing here anyways?" Sam inquired out loud.

Alex finished beaming through all the bars in the front and wiped some sweat from her face. "I don't know." Sam and Alex started to pull Mandy out of the cage and she landed on the ground with a sigh.

Sam untied her hands and took the gag off of her mouth.

"Sam? Alex?" Mandy half whispered as she looked at her rescuers faces. "Wh… where am I?"

"Umm, don't you know?" Alex asked.

"I was knocked out, stupid." Mandy picked herself up. "All I can remember is seeing this fashion reject and… I'm here." She explained and looked around her surroundings. "What you are guys doing here anyways? And where's Clover? Doesn't she always hang around you two?"

Sam shook at Clover's name. She stood up from her once kneeling position to dust herself off and to pull her hair back, letting cool air wash across her skin. "These suits don't breathe."

"What kind of outfit is that anyways?" Mandy went over to Sam and held some of the cloth in her hands. "Leotards?" She raised an eyebrow.

Why would Tim Scam bring Mandy here? Is this some sort of diversion? Mandy then took some of Sam's hair.

"Ugh! Humidity is killing your hair!" Mandy crossed her arms. "You'll never find a boyfriend.

She's getting more annoying than usual!

PSSSSSSSSSHTTT

"Wha…?" Mandy breathed in and exhaled as she fell to the ground. Her eyes rolled slightly back into her head and she was peacefully sleeping in mere seconds.

"What?" Sam stepped back so she wouldn't get in Mandy's way as she fell to the ground. She faced Alex who had her perfume aimed at Mandy.

"Just a small sprits." She chirped.

Sam took out her com-powder and opened it to have the screen retreat down to reveal a screen on which Jerry's face appeared. "Jerry, we need you to send a chopper."

"What ever for?" Jerry looked at her quizzically. "You're done with the mission already?"

"No, we found Mandy here. Pick her up please, and take her back to Beverly Hills." Sam requested.

"Al right." Jerry replied as he pressed button on his desk. "We'll send a helicopter out to your current position."

"Thanks." Sam smiled and shut her com-powder. She faced Alex and ran her fingers through her hair. "Let's go. Mandy will be fine."

Alex nodded and they both returned back to their original trail.

Well, I guess I'll end it there. If there are spelling errors, tell me please -

I'm really sure probably 1-2 chapters left. I have the story already planned out in my head from the beginning and I'm not changing it. Well, I did have this one part.. but I'm not gonna write that… hehehe.

P.S. Forget about James. I barely know anything about him. Like his personality and … looks…
