It is your typical hot, humid day in the rainforest of Brazil. You can feel the humidity, it is so dense! A beautiful macaw flies gracefully through the air to a branch of a tree, where there is a nest. Some fledgling macaws squawk up a storm! They're hungry! Mom begins to feed her young, when the serenity of the forest is disturbed!
Explosions rip through the rainforest! Trees are indiscriminately being blown up for removal! Fire is being used to clear away the stumps and undergrowth! The animals start to flee into all parts of the forest!
"Clearing operation underway, sir!" says a yellow clad worker.
"Good! Good! That should allow us to quickly build our base of operations! Continue!"
The blasting continues. Soon a colorful dive-bomber is trying to attack the forest killers to drive them away, but to no avail! There is a silvery flash in the sunlight. A worker is able to still the colorful dart with a shovel, stopping it permanently. In a downed tree close by is the remains of its nest. Some fledgling macaws lie motionless within the rubble.

A small village on the northwest coast of Russia is getting ready to start their day of fishing. Boats are being inspected, nets are being mended and loaded, and motors are being checked and lubricated. The boat hands are boarding their vessels, and casting off. But this scene is interrupted!
"What's that?" asks a boat hand, pointing to the mouth of the cove of the village.
"It looks like a huge iceberg!" says another.
"I've never seen one that big, before! It's as wide as the cove mouth!" chimes in a third.
Then a panic grips the fishermen, along with the whole town! "It looks like the iceberg is heading straight for our village!"
"It's getting BIGGER!" shrieks a voice over the ever-growing din of the town.
"That's impossible! Icebergs don't grow!" comments a sea captain.
But soon all is quiet as the entire cove is covered with ice, as is the fishing village.

In Paris, The Louvre is closing for the night.
"Another quiet day!" remarks a guard as he locks the door to the viewing area for the Mona Lisa. "Goodnight, Mona!" he says jocularly. "See you tomorrow morning!" As he turns, he comes face to face with the night watchman, and his good friend, Pierre. Pierre always has his CD Walkman with him, to keep him awake at night.
"Well, Pierre! How are you? Mona has been tucked in for the night!" His friend smiles, as he accepts the keys. "Don't forget to lock the door after I leave!" reminds Jacques, as he heads for home. Pierre waves goodbye, without saying a word, as he continues to listen to the CD on his Walkman.
"Pierre must have had a fight with Monique tonight!" thinks Jacques. "That is the only time he doesn't say anything!"
After Jacques leaves for the night, Pierre unlocks the door to the viewing area for the Mona Lisa. He quickly disables the security camera, walks over to the vacuum booth the painting resides in, opens the door and takes the painting off of the wall! He covers the painting with a cloth and calmly walks out of the museum to a waiting van, where he hands the painting to the van occupant, and returns to the museum, where he removes his headset, places his CD Walkman in the drawer of a Louis the XVI armoire, and begins his first inspection of the museum. He quickly notices that the Mona Lisa viewing area door is ajar! Investigating he finds that the painting is missing! Pierre quickly phones in the theft, as a conscientious night watchman should.

"This week has been a TOTAL bear!" exclaims Alex, to Clover and Sam as the gals walk down the halls of Beverly Hills High to their lockers. The day is finally over! Alex is wearing a red tube top with spaghetti strap around her neck, along with pale tan slacks and matching pumps. She has her short hair pulled back in a bun, held with a red hair clip.
"I mean TOTALLY!" adds Clover. Clover has on her sky blue halter-top with spaghetti neck strap, along with a white mini-skirt and matching pumps. Her hair is done up in short pigtails, held by small black butterfly clips. "Four major exams in one week! And it isn't even finals week!!!" she groused.
Sam listens sympathetically to her two friends. She is wearing a pink blouse under a red mini-dress, along with fuchsia thigh-high stockings. She also has on fuchsia pumps. Her long, beautiful hair cascades down her back. "I didn't think they were all that bad," she remarks consolingly.
"Maybe not for a brain like you, Sammy! But if you don't have a photographic memory, and I don't, it's pretty tough!" responds Alex. "I can't just read something once, and have it indelibly imprinted in my mind, like YOU can!"
"I agree, Alex!" exclaims Clover. "We're not all gifted like 'Miss Bookworm' over here!" Alex giggles.
Sam is a bit embarrassed, and defensive. "Well…I didn't mean to imply …. that you gals are …..dense or anything!" says Sam hesitantly. Sam knows she is lucky to have a photographic mind, and she has to constantly remind herself that most people don't, including her two best friends. She wasn't trying to put them down!
Alex and Clover quickly give Sam a friendly hug, indicating that no offense was taken.
"That's ok, Sammy! It's thanks to that brain of yours we've been able to get out of some pretty tight jams in our…er, hobby!" remarks Alex, in reference to their spy activities.
"That's right, Sam! Don't sweat it!" says Clover happily.
"There is one good thing about having all these exams, though," remarks Sam, looking for the silver lining among the clouds. "We don't get any homework in those classes the day of the exam!"
"And that's the ONLY good thing!" adds Clover.
The gals finish getting what they need out of their lockers and start walking to the school exit.
"Well at least tomorrow is Friday! I'm so stoked about this weekend!" exclaims Alex in a happier mood.
"What's so special about this weekend?" asks Sam.
"Why the new summer line of clothing and accessories will FINALLY be at the Mall!"
"WOW! You're right, Alex! What say we start our Mall hunting tonight!" says Clover excitedly.
"Great idea, girlfriend!" adds Sam as the gals start walking out of the school to the parking lot. But just as they get to a safety zone in the parking lot, they get WOOHP'd!
"WHHHOOOOAAAA!"
"We're not even safe from a WOOHPing in a SAFETY ZONE!" exclaims Sam.
"Hello, ladies! I trust you had a safe trip?" asks Jerry, with a little smile on his face.
"You know, Jerry?" says Clover, as she picks herself off the floor, after bouncing off of the sofa, "Can't you send a limo, just once?"
Alex also picks herself off the floor, rubbing her head. "Yeah, Jerry! That WOOHPing hurt!"
Sam adds, "Either the WOOHP device needs adjusting or we need a bigger sofa!" as she rubs her sore elbow.
"I'll have Maintenance look at it right away!" responds Jerry, as the gals take up their usual positions on the sofa in front of Jerry's desk.
Jerry continues, "We have some very serious situations to deal with, ladies. In Brazil, someone is destroying tropical rainforest indiscriminately…"
"Doesn't the rainforest help control the earth's temperature?" asks Alex.
"Exactly, Alex. Another situation occurred in a Russian fishing village. It was completely covered with ice!"
"Freaky! An ice storm in the middle of the year!" remarks Clover.
"Quite correct, Clover. And the Mona Lisa has been stolen from the Louvre!"
"With all of the security? How is that possible? Has a ransom note been received?" asks Sam in alarm.
"We're not sure how it was possible, Sam, and no ransom note has been received!
"Because all three of these incidents are of the utmost priority, I am going to have to split you girls into three teams!"
The girls look uneasily at one another. They know how important it is to have back-up on a mission. They are going to have to fly solo here.
But Jerry also knows the importance of back-up. "Ladies, I have asked some office WOOHP personnel to join this mission. Alex, your team will be identified as 'Yellow Team'. Your teammate will be Stan (from Book Covers, Stan's Story, Revenge and Retirement fanfic eps)!"
Alex breaks into a relieved smile, as Stan walks over to her. He extends his hand and says, "It will be a pleasure to team with you again, Alex!"
Alex shakes Stan's hand and says, "Thanks, Stan. I think we'll make an effective team together!"
"Bob (from the Here Comes the Sun episode) will fill in for Stan in his absence. He has been working as Stan's assistant for about one year now," remarks Jerry.
Jerry continues, "Sam, your team will be identified as 'Green Team'. Dr. Quincy (from Stan's Story, There's Something About Jerry and Retirment fanfic eps) will join you!"
Sam lets out a sigh of relief, as Dr. Quincy walks over to her, shaking her hand. "It's been awhile, Sam, but I still remember a thing or two from my field days!"
Sam smiles. "I'm sure, Dr. Quincy! We should do well together!"
"Carol, Dr. Quincy's long time assistant, will fill in for him in his absence," remarks Jerry.
But Clover doesn't see any other office staffers in Jerry's office. "Do I have to go it alone, Jer?" she asks anxiously.
"Of course not, Clover! Your team will be identified as 'Red Team', and I'll be your partner!"
Clover is relieved. She knows Jerry can handle himself in the field, as she remembers his actions in the house of that deranged psychologist, Dr. Gray (Totally Switched mission) as well as his actions in the Tim Scam morphing mission (Morphing Is So 1987). "That's a relief, Jer! I'm sure we'll do well together! But who will fill in for you?"
"G.L.A.D.I.S. can monitor situations and refer them to Bob and Carol. They will both fill in for me!" responds Jerry.
"Now for your assignments: Yellow Team – Brazilian rainforest; Green Team – Paris and the Louvre; and Red Team – Russian fishing village! For the gadgets: Yellow Team – backpack parachutes; jet-drill-suction wading hip boots; laser lipstick and pen; analyzer sunglasses; bungee belts; and the electronic walkman field disperser Green Team – analyzer sunglasses; jet-drill-suction boots; laser lipstick and pen; smudge analyzer; CD analyzer, and headphones Red Team – backpack parachutes; thermal snowsuits; A.W.F.U.L. boots (ski, snowboard, ice skate); laser lipstick and pen; heat sensitive sunglasses; and bungee belts. You'll all be traveling by WOOHP jet! Any questions? Good!"
With that, Jerry hits his 'dismissal' button, and all three teams disappear down a different tunnel in the floor, to the waiting jets. The teams are on their way!
