Chapter 1: The Mission

03:00 PM - BEVERLY HILLS MALL
The whole incident started with another Saturday afternoon at the mall. Sam, Clover and Alex were sitting on a park bench together.
"So," Clover spoke up, "which store should we go to next?"
"There's an electronics store that opened up in the east wing just recently," Alex replied. "I want to check that out."
"Then it's settled," Sam added. "Let's go."
As the three of them were walking down the east wing, Alex hesitated in front of the beauty salon.
"Alex?" Sam said. "Is something wrong?"
"You know," Alex responded, "at this time of day, Mandy is usually in this salon, but she isn't."
"Don't remind me about that snob," Clover responded. "She's always making fun of us. I guess her schedule got an unexpected change."
As if to show Clover just how unexpected a schedule change could be, the floor opened up and dumped all three of them down a slide which led to WOOHP HQ.
"Darn!" Alex said. "Now we'll never get to see that electronics store."
"Sorry for the rude interruption," Jerry started to say. "But when the future of the world is at stake, there really isn't much I can do about it. Now, as I was saying."
A monitor lit up in the back of the room. It displayed the image of a man purchasing a bottle of soda from a vending machine.
"Hey," Sam said, "that's that new Cherry-Lime Dream soda I was going to try today! I couldn't because they were sold out when I got to the store."
"Well, you should be glad you didn't," Jerry replied. "Keep watching."
On the monitor, the man popped open the bottle of soda and drank its contents. As soon as the bottle was empty, the man fell to the ground. Sam, Clover and Alex watched breathless as that man began to transform into a monkey.
"Wow," Alex commented, "now that's a soda that brings out the beast in you!"
"Yes," Jerry responded. Whenever someone drinks a bottle of Cherry-Lime Dream, he or she is transformed into an animal. Quite unusual."
The monitor flashed off. "The processing plant for Cherry-Lime Dream is in Mexico. You'll begin your investigation there, with our new hire."
Noticing the girls' look of shock, Jerry quickly added, "WOOHP just hired a new operative. You'll be training her and teaching her the tricks of the trade."
A picture of this new spy flashed on the monitor. Sam, Alex and Clover recognized her before you could say "Cherry-Lime Dream". It was …
"MANDY?" all three girls screamed at the same time.
"Yes," Jerry replied calmly, "that is her name. You know her?"
"We're always wishing we didn't," Clover said. "And by the way, she looks stupid in that cyan bodysuit."
Jerry was silent. He quickly pointed to the table with the gadgets on it.
"From left to right," Jerry said, "we have magnetic go-go boots, boomerang bracelets, walkie-talkie necklaces, and infrared-vision sunglasses. Only the best for our best spies. Oh, and Mandy only got the necklaces and the boots, since she's new to this."
After the girls had collected their gadgets, Jerry pushed a button and sent the girls to a plane about to depart for Mexico.
