(Here's chapter 2 of "Alex Quits." Thanks to sexychicky862, Sailor Evanescence, HamHamDude, and Steven V for reviewing. First off, my contest; the 3 choices are: 1. "Totally Switched" 2. "Here Comes the Sun" and 3. "I Dude". By the way, I noticed that I left out a word in my first chapter. If you have seen the episode, then you know what word I missed.)

Meanwhile, back at WOOHP, Jerry had WOOHPed us and we had fell on the comfort below us, but Alex was stuck or something.

"Where's Alex?" Jerry asked.

"She was right beside my hip," I responded.

Alex appeared all of a sudden, falling on the ground, and leaving me in a real shock. She nervously waved at Jerry, still on the ground.

"We did a preliminary search on the way back, but couldn't find any manufacturers," Sam said, handing Jerry her compowder of the photo of the footprint in the ice cream.

Jerry opened his laptop and started typing.

"Very interesting. Morse logo, must be custom made. So, what went wrong in Mexico City?"

We stammered, but no one said anything.

"Girls, what happened?" Jerry said, sighing.

We were still silent as we looked at Alex.

"It was me, okay? I blew it again. It's all my fault!!" Alex said.

"Why does she take this so hard?" I said to myself.

"Oh my," Jerry responded.

"I can't do this anymore! I quit!!" Alex said, through her tears.

"WHAT!!" We were all open mouthed.

"Quit?!! You can't quit!!" Sam said.

"Yeah, we need you, Alex. We're a team," Clover said, trying to stop her as Alex tried walking out of WOOHP.

"You just got a little over your head those last 2 times, and that's nothing to take so hard!!" I tried to say, but Alex cut me off.

"Your words of encouragement are nice, Mathew, but they can't solve my problems. Now, if you'll all excuse me, I've got an extra credit project to do," Alex said, rejecting what I said.

"Jerry!! You can't just let her walk out like that!!" Sam said. She gasped as Alex slowly trotted out of the building.

Sam, Brittney, and Clover were crushed, but my jaw had dropped fully. I was almost ready to faint.

"I hate to see her go, too, but we've got to find out the source of this phenomenom before the entire world grinds to a halt," Jerry said.

"Ah, the shoe is custom made, and only 3 pairs have been ordered,"

Jerry tried to get our attention, but we were too crushed to say anything.

"It's no use, Jer. We can't concentrate on the mission without Alex," Clover said, nearly forming tears.

"She's like the cherry on top of a sundae," Sam said.

"The foam on a latte," Clover added.

"The icing on top of our favorite cakes, even though I don't have a favorite," I added in.

"It's just not the same without her," Sam remarked.

"I know, but the sooner we take care of this, the sooner we can convince her to return," Jerry said.

"You're right. Let's do this one for Alex!" Sam said, looking up as we came back to gather around Jerry.

"Excellent. Now, one pair was ordered by a female basketball player," Jerry told us.

"No, it wasn't a female basketball player," Brittney responded.

"Another by a clown?" Jerry said, looking at the second pair.

"I seriously doubt that, Jerry," I responded.

"That leaves a scientist, in Greenland," Jerry said, looking at the final pair.

"Greenland? So it's like hot there right?" Clover asked.

We all had a look on our faces that it wasn't hot there. (A/n: If you've seen the episode, you'll know what the face was.)

12:02 p.m. -- Greenland

"There goes the facial," Clover said after Jerry dropped us off from the WOOHP plane.

Meanwhile, back at school, Alex was in Mr. Roberts' class taking care of her extra credit assignment. Mr. Roberts had handed her a bucket of water, and a bar of soap.

"Thanks, I'll wash up," Alex said, nervously.

"It's not for personal hygiene, Alex. It's your extra credit assignment. I want you to figure out how to make the soap float," Roberts said.

"That's easy, we can use water wings," Alex responded.

"Without using something with the soap?" Roberts said.

Alex tried it out, but it sank like a rock. She looked at him nervously. Fortunately, he gave her another chance.

"I'll give you a hint," Roberts said, and turned on a projector of molecules.

Alex was confused.

"It has to do with molecules," Roberts said, pacing back and forth.

"Molecules?" Alex said.

Meanwhile, back in Greenland, the girls and I slid down a snow hill, to appear about 15 feet away from a building.

"Let's check it out," Sam said.

She took her m-ray contact lenses, and looked inside.

"There's no one here," Sam said.

She came out from where we were, but while she ran, she tripped on a snow rock, she didn't see, and fell into the electric fence in front of the building.

"Sam, are you okay?" I said, handing my hand down to her.

"Sam, that was a total Alex move," Clover joked.

"I guess I miss her more than I thought," Sam said, a little depressed.

"I feel the same way," I said, agreeing with her.

We made our way over the fence, and scattered to the building.

Clover tried to open the door, but there was no keyhole or something to get in.

"There isn't even a lock to pick,"

"There's gotta be some way in," Brittney was about to say, until she laid her hand on the hand access platform, and heard a sound saying that the access had been denied.

"Bingo! A fingerprint I.D. entry pad. I think I can get the last set of prints," Brittney said.

She used the fingerprint glove, placed it on the pad, and the access was approved as the door opened.

We heard a woman on the P.A. welcoming somebody else, which pretty much disturbed me.

"Kinda chatty for a security system, don't you think," Clover said.

"You said it," I remarked.

We came into another room filled with a lot of chemistry stuff. Shortly after that, we split up and looked all around for a clue.

Sam had went to the computer, while Brittney, Clover and I had scattered to different parts of the room.

Sam typed in some stuff, and some scientific equation had popped up. While Sam read the equation, she started to assume something.

"Something about molecules,"

"Check it out. Isn't that the biggest microwave oven you've ever seen?" Clover said, after turning around some sort of machine.

"That's not a microwave oven, Clover," I said to her.

When Brittney, Clover, and I had joined Sam at the computer, we noticed a picture of a hamster, moving in slow motion.

"Low powered 3 seconds, molecules slow at 10," Sam read.

"High powered 2 seconds, molecules slow by 40," Brittney read.

"Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" She asked us.

"You betcha," I responded.

"That thing slows down molecules," Sam answered.

"I wonder what it does to popcorn," Clover wondered.

"We better call Jerry and tell him what we found," Sam said, opening up her compowder.

We waited for a response from Jerry, but he was fast asleep.

"This is so unlike him not to answer," Sam said, curious.

"Maybe he got called away on an emergency," Brittney guessed.

"Or maybe he left his wallet phone in his other pants again," Clover guessed.

"Or maybe he's taking a snooze and doesn't know we're calling him," I guessed.

"I highly doubt that, Mathew," Brittney said.

"Visitors!" someone said.

(That's it. If you've seen the episode, then you'll know what happened. Once again, my 3 choices for my contest are: 1. "Totally Switched" 2. "Here Comes the Sun" and 3. "I Dude." Those are the 3 that I'm taking suggestions on. Chapter 3 will come up sooner or later.)
