Chapter 3 of, well, this story. Thanks for the review…except for the one flame. Grrrrrrrr! In fact, that flame was just stupid. Normally I just keep them up so that I can have people point at them and laugh. In this case though, the flame was just extremely terrible (not to mention racist and bigoted). It might actually be the first flame that I remove. Well, so far I haven't decided on that yet. Still, other then that one, thanks for the reviews!

And speaking of the reviews, including that one flame, this story now has the same number of reviews as my more serious TS story that is also, longer. I don't know if I should be flattered, or offended. :-P Seriously, thanks for the reviews (except for the flame). And I know, the premise is VERY scary. Be afraid! Be very afraid!

Oh, and more good news, I have now seen more episodes of TS that I have missed. Still have about 10 or so episodes left to go, including ones that I have seen only the endings of (even seen season 3's "Dental? More Like Mental" when I missed to original broadcast last Sunday), but, "Stuck in the Middle Ages With You", "Malled", "Queen For a Day", "Eraser", "Shrinking", "Black Widow", and "Soul Collector", these episodes I can now cross off my list of unseen episodes.

Also, I have proofread the last chapter, and even added a few things here and there. Not much, just a few things to make it just ever slightly longer, and slightly funnier.

With nothing else to say, on with the nightmare! Um, I mean story!


Somewhere in Kansas

8:15 PM

The spies were in their sneaking outfits and were using their jet backpacks to fly to their current location.

"So, Tommy Balloon Factories bought out Lance Corporation's work!" Sam reiterated.

'Lance…balloons…rubber…?' "Bad image! Bad image! Bad image!" Clover was slapping the sides of her head over and over again.

Sam looked back at Clover and frowned with resignation. "Yup, the memory eraser thing is definitely needed. And if Jerry is still naked after all this is over, I'M QUITING WOOHP IMMEDIATELY!"

"Same here!" Clover and Alex replied with zest.

"But first…" Sam sighed. "We have to finish this mission. I mean, at least get this over with."

"Yeah." Alex looked down as a building came into focus. "Look over there!" Alex pointed at a factory that reads, Tommy Balloons. There were two guards standing in front of guard post. "How are we going to get in?"

"Well, since we're still in the air…" Sam stated the obvious. "From the air?"

Clover looked around the area. The rusty factory building itself was big. Surrounding the building was a chain link fence with one entrance where the guard post and two guards where stationed. The roof was full of air conditioning units, and windows to allow some natural light for the workers inside the building. "Well, since none of the muscle men are on top of the factory, it might not be a bad plan."

Sam nodded. "Just as long as we don't…."

The three crash into the top of the roof.

"Crash." Sam finished.

The two guards looked back from their guard post when they heard the spies crash on top of the room. They were both suspicious about what just happened, and started to search the building perimeter.

The spies quickly got behind an air conditioning unit, away from the guards view. The girls waited as the guards walked around the building to see if there was any kind of disturbance that they should be worried about. Seeing nothing, they returned to their post.

The girls breathed a sigh of relief. They all looked through a window where they could see the production units all lined up. No surprise, they were making the 'living' rubber used in the attacks.

The girls slowly opened the window and rappelled down using their bungee belts. They hit the ground. The three quickly got behind a number of tanks just as a number of factory workers passed by in their gray uniforms. The three all looked at each other and nodded. They changed into the same uniform with the X-Powder. After they finished changing (AN: Though does it really matter? It isn't like people are not going to notice them. Though it makes more sense for them to change in this story then in that abandoned dental place in "Dental? More like Mental" episode. After all, if it were abandoned, why would they need to change?), the three looked around the factory. The factory itself was relatively big. Right now, they are in the assembly portion of the factory. In one direction were the offices and control rooms. In the other…who knows?

"You know," Alex started. "There's no reason for us to end this mission right away right?"

"What are you getting at Alex?" Sam asked with amusement.

"I mean, if we do not finish this mission right away, we won't have to see Jerry again soon!" Alex smiled at her reasoning.

"I heard that Alex!" Her X-Powder replied.

Alex's eyes widened. "Jerry?" Alex gulped.

"You answered it Alex?" Clover harshly whispered. "Nice going there!"

"I didn't…at least I didn't intend to…" Alex sweat dropped and gulped. She took it out. Sure enough, it was open. Apparently, when they landed on the ground, it must've opened somehow. And sure enough, Jerry's holographic image appeared, from the ankles up, and yes, naked.

"Well, I was just looking for a status report!" Jerry continued. "And really girls, there is nothing wrong with being naked! It's just the human body you know."

"Except when YOU are the one that is naked!" Sam growled.

Jerry sighed. "Anyways, status reports?"

"Not much Jerr." Clover replied while NOT looking at Jerry. "We really haven't seen anything suspicious yet. Just a grip full of rubber." Clover painfully got that out. "And there's no sign of Tim Scam. Are you sure he's involved?"

"I'm pretty sure he's involved." Jerry continued. "I hacked into Tommy Balloon's surveillance camera and he was seen around this factory."

"That settles it then." Sam concluded. "Bye Jerr!"

"Wait! One more thing!" Jerry yelled out. "Especially you Alex. Finish your mission quickly if you don't want any serious consequ…"

"Blah blah blah." Alex closed the X-Powder. "What could be worse then naked Jerry anyways?"

"Well, since I do not want to find out what that could be, lets finish this mission fast before something bad happens. Now, time to search this place. Lets split up girls!" Sam ordered. "We need to find the hostages, and Tim Scam." She took out her hoop communication earrings. "We'll keep in contact with these!"

"Got it!" Alex and Clover replied.

"I'm going this way!" Alex said and pointed down to one hallway.

"And I'm going this way!" Clover replied. She was pointing in the opposite direction.

"And I'm going to look for Scam!" Sam closed her fist with determination. "Time to find out what he's up to!"

The girls separated as they searched the factory. All the while, a number of cameras were focused on them.

Assembly Room

Alex walked down the hallway. A number of workers passed by, but they didn't seem to notice. "Phew. This disguise actually…" Then she realized something odd about those workers. "Wait, why was one of them so short?" She started to follow the workers around. Both entered a room where a large group of people was stitching together balloon into the forms of animals. As she looked at the group, she realized that a lot of them were children. "That's child labor! Tim Scam has reached an all time low!" As she snuck around the room, she also noticed something else. "Wait, what's that on their hand?" Alex looked closer. It was a stamp with balloons on it. "I'd better contact the others with my findings."

Storage Room

Clover entered a room full of materials that are used to make the 'living' rubber. She was immediately hit by the smell. "Ewwwww! It stinks in here!" She looked around the room. The only thing of significance was that fact the barrels full of the stuff, pipes running along the ceiling, and the cold concrete floors and walls, it seems to be mostly a dead end. "Well, since there are no clues here, I'm going to be leaving right now…" As she was saying this, her Hoop earring communicator started to sound.

As she turned her attention to her communicator, a balloon animal snuck out from behind a few barrels.

Control Room

Sam entered the control room. No one was in the control room htat had many television monitors, levers, and buttons that control who knows what in this factory. The monitors were all turned on and showed a different part of the factory. As she looked at all the monitors, she began to notice something strange about the workers. "Why are so many of them young? Unless…" As she was thinking this, her Hoop earring communicator sounded.

Assembly Room

"Guys!" Alex spoke up. "I'm not sure but I think I found where all the people Scam kidnapped are."

"Where Alex?" Clover asked through her Hoop earring.

"In the assembly room. The kids working here have stamps on their hands." Alex relayed.

"Stamps? Like the one they give at amusement parks." Sam noted. "Tim Scam must be brainwashing them in order to build his freaky balloon animals!"

"Forcing kids to work?" Clover frowned. "Scam has officially sunk to a new low."

"HEY!" A heavy man yelled behind Alex. "Why aren't you working at your station?"

Alex jumped up. "Uhhh…."

Two more heavy men came in and surrounded Alex.

The first heavy man growled. "I think she's a spy! Get her!"

"Eek!" Alex tried to run, but was picked up by the two heavy men.

Storage Room

"Alex!" Clover was about to run out of the room when a balloon animal blocked her path. She immediately got into a fighting stance. "Out of the way you freakish balloon thingy!" Clover started to punch the animal.

Bad idea since when she punched it, the balloon animal simply consumed her.

Clover's eyes widened. "AHHHHHHHHHHH!"

Control Room

"Alex? Clover?" Sam screamed out in fear.

"Oh don't worry about your friends Sam." Tim Scam grinned. He was wearing blue jeans, black shirt, and a black jacket. "They're fine. For now."

"Scam!" Sam turned to him. "What have you done with my friends?"

"You'll find out soon enough." Tim Scam crossed his arms. "Since you will be joining them!"

"I don't think so!" Sam was ready to lunge at Tim Scam when a balloon animal dropped behind her. Sam's eyes widened and she tried to kick it away. However, the balloon animal simply consumed her, starting with her leg when she attempted to kick it.

"Ahhhhhhhh…you should've played nice with my special pets." Scam grinned some more. "This is just too good."

Sam continued to struggle as the balloon animal engulfed her.


End of Chapter 3

Wooohooo! Another chapter is done. Short? You bet! Again, this WILL be my shortest story of them all. Being the least serious story, well, no reason to get too long with it. Also, as you can see, it pretty much follows the Totally Spies formula where something happens, spies are living in a normal day, get WOOHPed, they investigate, at least one of them gets captured, at least that one is put in danger, villain tells plan, spies escape, spies stop villain, everything back to normal. While this formula might be good for one episode or two, well, it does get repetitive IMO. I know I shouldn't get too worked up over it (it's just a not so serious show), still, how many times can the spies get caught, and get free RIGHT when they are almost killed? Aren't they supposed to be good spies? In my other TS story, I wanted to get away from that formula. However, since this silly story is just that, silly, see no reason why I shouldn't follow the formula. Hehehe.

Oh yeah, and as you have probably noticed, less naked Jerry in this chapter. Hey! They can't all have naked Jerry in it!

One last thing, speaking of my other TS story, I actually started that update a lot sooner. Yet due to time, desire to write more, and basically writer's block, that one hasn't been completed yet. Since writer's block is affecting that story, and since I haven't had an update in awhile, I started this one as well as an update for one of TT stories. This one finished first of course.

Next Chapter, last chapter! Tim Scam has caught the spies! How will the girls get out? Do they want to get out? And has Jerry woken from his sense and put on some clothes? Until then…later!
