"That's a great idea, Randall! You know, if I go in there, and then the CDA comes, I can switch back and forth with them, too! But I only have one favor to ask you. Can you stand guard for me in case I get into any trouble?"
"Don't worry, Alex, you won't get into any trouble! But, just in case, sure. I'll cover for you."
"Thanks, Randall! Now, I gotta go back to Sulley's place, because I told him I'd be back after I told you. I'll tell him the good news, okay? Bye!" Alex ran back to the apartment and burst into the door.
"Al! There you are! What took you so long?"
"Mike! Where's Sulley??"
"I'm right here, Alex. Whatps up?"
"Oh, great news, Sull! Randall was surprised at first, but now he doesn't care!"
"That's great, Alex!"
"Yeah, but that's not the good news I was talking about. Randall had a great idea!"
"This ought to be good."
"Shut up, Mike! Anyway, I don't really have to tell Mr. Waternoose!"
"Alex, what are you thinking? Of course you have to tell Mr. Waternoose!"
"It wasn't my thinking, it was Randall's! Anyway, I go in as Jodi, and started talking to him. Then I leave, take off my costume, and go back. He'll be so freaked out, he won't know what to do! And Randall's going to be covering for me, just in case something unexpected happens."
"That's a great idea, Al! Can I come watch, too?"
"Sorry, gumball. This is too dangerous for little monsters."
"Hey, who are you calling little?"
"I'm just kidding, Mike! So can I, Sulley? Please?"
"Yeah, c'mon, Sulley! Let us go!" Sulley looked at the three pleading eyes.
"Oh, all right. But I'm going, too. I don't want anything happening to you."
"Don't worry, Sulley!" So Alex went to the facotyr alone, but Sulley and Mike were close behind, just to back her up. She went right up to Mr. Waternoose.
"Hi!" Mr. Waternoose turned around.
"Oh, hello, Jodi! Say, do you think that you could do me a favor?"
"Sure! What do you need?"
"Well, there's some papers that I need that are in Roz's office. It would be great if you could run in there and- oh never mind. She probably wouldn't let you have them anyway."
"It's as good as done, sir. I can get those papers faster than you can say 'a kid got loose in the factory'!"
"Well, alright. They're under the file 'factory updates'. There should only be one in there, but just in case, it's the papers for the back-up system on the scare floor. You can drop them off at Jerry's desk."
"Sure thing! I'll be right back!" Alex ran off, got the papers, and ran back to the scare floor.
"Thank you, Jodi! Those are th ones! Now run along and drop them off at Jerry's desk, will you?" Alex completed the task, and ran back to the locker room, where Randall was waiting.
"Wasn't that great, Randall! He didn't even suspect a thing!"
"You're real lucky, Alex. Roz thinks everyone's suspicious!"
"Randall, don't be such a worrywart!" She said as she took off her costume.
"Just be careful, okay!"
"Yeah, sure." Alex went back to the scare floor and walked right up to Mr. Waternoose. "Boo!" Mr. Waternoose turned around.
"Aaaaahhhh! A human child! In my factory! Jerry, quick! Get me the CDA! Fast!" As soon as Jerry heard this, he raced to the phone and dialed H-E-L-P.
"There's a kid here! HELP!" Alex started walking towards Mr. Waternoose.
"Stay back! No! Go away!"
"Maybe I don't want to."
"What? You can talk?"
"Yeah, monsters don't take the time to get to know us kids very well. We just try to be friendly, but they take one look at us and scream. 'Aaaahhhh! Help! Run! A kid! Oh, no! It's going to zap me with its laser breath or something!' But the truth is, we don't have any of that. We're just like you. But there's one thing I forgot to mention. I'M STILL TOXIC! YAAAAHHHH!" And with that, Alex started charging at Mr. Waternoose.
"Aaaaaaaaaahhhh!" Mr. Waternoose ran away. Alex laughed.
"That's what you get for putting me back in my room two weeks ago!" She shouted at him. Mr. Waternoose looked back. "Yeah, that's right. Look back. You remember me, don't you? Two weeks ago Randall found me in his locker and someone put me back in my room. Now you know who I am, don't you?" She started running at him again. Mr. Waternoose ran away. Alex went back to the locker room.
"Alex, quick! Get your costume on! This place will be crawling with agents any second now!"
"Okay, okay. But did you guess my riddle?"
"Riddle?"
"Yeah! I'm the one who took that picture of you, Randall! I'm the one who dressed up as a CDA agent! I'm the one who threw the avalanche of socks!"
"Really?"
"Yeah! I'm the one who got the good laugh!"
Hardy-har-har."
"Well, I'm going to go have some fun."
"But be careful. This place is chalk full of CDA agents!"
"I will, I will!" So Alex went back to the scare floor again. "Hey, what's going on?" Mr. Waternoose answered her.
"Oh, Jodi, it's awful! A child is in the factory!"
"What?!"
"Yes, and the CDA are on the lookout right now. Don't worry, Jodi, they'll find the child."
"Do they need any help? I mean, I'm great at tracking down kids."
"Well, maybe, but it might be dangerous."
"Dangerous? Sir, I've been in situations worse that this. I know what dangerous is."
"Very well. I'll got talk to them and see what they say." Mr. Waternoose went to talk with the CDA. Alex couldn't make out what they were saying, but she heard Jodi, CDA, and child. Then a CDA agent walked up to her.
"Jodi, welcome to the CDA. You will be an undercover agent, so the suspects won't be suspicious. Now how about starting over in the lobby?" Alex was thrilled. She was in the CDA! She glanced over at Randall, who motioned to her to go ahead and play along.
"Sure! That'd be great!" So she played along. She went over to the lobby and met Celia at the reception desk. "Hey, Celia!"
"Oh, hi, Jodi!" Alex thought to herself.
"She still doesn't know who I am! Well, I'll just play along for now. But I'm having Mike tell her afterwards." "So, have you heard the news? There's a kid in the factory."
"You can't be serious! No kid's ever gotten through to the monster world!"
"Yeah, tough, ain't it? Say, you haven't seen anything, have you? I don't mean to be pointing fingers or anything, I'm just wondering. Cause' I saw it running around on the scare floor!" "Sorry, Jodi, I haven't seen anything, but I'll keep you updated."
"Okay, thanks!" So then she went to everywhere else in the facotyr, since she knew everybody there. She acted so casual, that nobody suspected a thing! When she finally got some information, she went to the CDA. She filled them in on the info, and then they gave her a new assignment.
"Thanks for the info, Jodi. That's all we need right now. We'll know who to call if anything happens again, okay?"
"Okay! I'll always be here when you need me! I'm usually always at the factory." Alex went back over to Randall. "Wasn't it great, Randall? They had no idea! I'm going to go out as the kid now!" Randall grabbed her. "Randall! Let me go! Come on, I want to have fun!"
"Alex, are you crazy?? Those agents will have you in the blink of an eye!!!" But Alex was already on her way out into the public. "ALEX!!! Get back here!" He grabbed her back over to him.
"Randall! Let me goooo!"
"No. You can't do this! What's going to happen when they've got you?"
"Pu me back in my door?"
"No, they'll put you in a cage and throw away the key."
"Alright, alright."
"Now, how are you gonna do this?" All of a sudden Alex vanished. "Al? Alex?" Just then, Alex popped out from inside a locker.
"Like that." Randall laughed.
"Okay, okay. But just make sure you don't let anyone see you until you're a safe distance away."
"Don't worry, Randall! I'll be fine!"
"Okay. But I'm still going to be keeping an eye on you!"
"Yeah, yeah. Sure, sure. Okay. Whatever." Alex went back to the scare floor. She climbed until she was way too high for them to get her. Then she shouted at them. "Hey, guys, up here! You can't catch me, nyah, nyah, nyah, nyah, nyah! If ya want me, come and get me! Come on, is that all you got??" The CDA agents started at Alex. Alex just sat there. Randall started worrying.
"C'mon, Al, what are you doing?? Go! They're going to get you!" One agent started climbing up towards Alex.
"Halt! Stay where you are! You are officially under arrest for interfering with the people of Monstropolis!" Alex just sat there until agents was about a foot away from her, and then disappeared. The she re-appeared in the locker room.
"I got to hand it to you, Al, you really know how to make someone look stupid."
"Yeah, did you see that agent? They think that just be saying 'halt', that you can get someone to stop? They've got to be insane!" The two were quiet for a minute. Then, Alex smiled at Randall. "Hey, Randall, you thinking what I'm thinking?" Randall grinned.
"You bet! Come on, let's go have some fun!" The two slimply just walked out onto the scare floor. Alex didn't even have her costume on! Mr. Waternoose was totally freaked out!
"Randall! The child is right next to you!" Randall looked at Al.
"I know."
"Well, what are you doing standing there?"
"Why shouldn't I? Is there something wrong?" Alex giggled.
"Why, children are toxic!" Alex stepped forward.
"Does this look toxic to you?" She asked, taking hold of Randall's tail. Everything was quiet for a minute. Then, Randall just fell to the ground!
"Randall! Stay back, child!" Alex couldn't help it. She burst out laughing, and Randall got up and started laughing with her. Alex stepped up to Mr. Waternoose.
"I can't believe you fell for that!" Mr. Waternoose looked at Randall.
"Randall! That's not funny!"
"I thought it was. No, really, sorry." The CDA started running towards them. Randall climbed up onto a platform way up high. Alex ran up to him.
"Give me your hand!" Randall shouted. Alex got pulled up just as the CDA were closing in on her. "That was close. Come on, we've got to get out of here!" They ran down the platform. Randall stopped, but Alex kept on running.
"Aaaahhhhhh!" Just then, Alex screamed, making the lights flicker. Randall caught her just in time. There was a giant drop where the platform stopped beneath them.
"What are you doing?? Do you want to get us killed?!"
"Sorry, I didn't know it was coming."
"Well, watch where you're going next time, okay?" Alex went over to the frop and looked down.
"Man, I almost fell off that??"
"Yeah, and you'd better be more careful next time. Got it?"
"Wait a minute..." Alex crawled up towards the end of the walk. "Randall! Get me my glasses out of my backpack!" Randall got her glasses and gave them to Alex.
"What are you going to do with those?"
"I think I see something... I knew it! here, take these." Alex gave the glasses to Randall, and jumped off the platform.
"ALEX!!!!"
"Hey, Randall, it's okay! Look! It's just invisible!" Randall looked down from the walk saw Alex standing on air, it seemed like, waving to him. "Come on, jump down!"
"No way! You're not fooling me!"
"Randall, just grab my glasses, put them on, and look at me. They're made for seeing things that are invisible." Randall did what she said. Sure enough, he saw a platform where she was standing. "Come on, just jump!" Randall hesitated for a minute, but finally, he jumped down.
"Wow! I wonder how they did that?"
"Come on!" Alex grabbed his hand and they started running towards the exit. The CDA and Mr. Waternoose were chasing them.
"Stop them! Don't let them get away!" Alex ran faster and faster. "Alex, wait up! I can't keep up with you!" Alex didn't stop running.
"I'll keep going! You get out of sight!" With that, she ran out of the building. Randall turned invisible, and so the CDA ran out of the building after Alex. Alex had turned invislbe as well, so they couldn't find her. She ran to Randall's place, and burst into the door. She plopped herself down on the couch and sighed. "I thought they were going to get me. Well, I'd getter wait for Randall to get here."
"Don't worry, Alex, you won't get into any trouble! But, just in case, sure. I'll cover for you."
"Thanks, Randall! Now, I gotta go back to Sulley's place, because I told him I'd be back after I told you. I'll tell him the good news, okay? Bye!" Alex ran back to the apartment and burst into the door.
"Al! There you are! What took you so long?"
"Mike! Where's Sulley??"
"I'm right here, Alex. Whatps up?"
"Oh, great news, Sull! Randall was surprised at first, but now he doesn't care!"
"That's great, Alex!"
"Yeah, but that's not the good news I was talking about. Randall had a great idea!"
"This ought to be good."
"Shut up, Mike! Anyway, I don't really have to tell Mr. Waternoose!"
"Alex, what are you thinking? Of course you have to tell Mr. Waternoose!"
"It wasn't my thinking, it was Randall's! Anyway, I go in as Jodi, and started talking to him. Then I leave, take off my costume, and go back. He'll be so freaked out, he won't know what to do! And Randall's going to be covering for me, just in case something unexpected happens."

"Sorry, gumball. This is too dangerous for little monsters."

"Maybe I don't want to."
"What? You can talk?"
"Yeah, monsters don't take the time to get to know us kids very well. We just try to be friendly, but they take one look at us and scream. 'Aaaahhhh! Help! Run! A kid! Oh, no!
