Chapter 2 is done! Just more background info on the mission- this story will be a bit long. (I know you can't reach France in 2 hours, I've been there 4 times, but oh well.)

2 hours later, Kim sat in a plush chair in Frederic's salon and boutique. She had taken a superfast jet to France to prepare for the mission. Ron had insisted on coming with her for moral support, but Mr. Barkin had practically threatened him to tutor a few home ec.students for finals. Monique came instead.

"Girl, don't worry. You'll still look great. Besides, you'll get your red hair back in, like, a week."

Kim tried to smile at her friend confidently, but couldn't. Her long, straight hair had always been admired. She needed to have Ron here, holding her hand, and Rufus to cheer her on.

"Brief me one more time, Wade,"she looked at the Kimmunicator.
"Ok- and don't worry about the hair Kim," the boy comforted.

"The princess is one of seven sisters. Adriana and Alana are the eldest twins, age 21. Saara is next, 20, then Isadora who's 19. Next are another set of twins; Merisa and Lela are 18. Last, of course, is 17-year-old Natalia. Good thing you guys are the same age."

"Tell me the twins aren't identical. Do you expect me to put up with tweebs squared?"

"No, that's one less thing to worry about. Oh, and I found a cover for Ron too. He gets to be Baron Ronaldo Pararcapaz."

The door swung open and a blonde boy walked in. "Watch out French people, 'cuz the Ronster has arrived!" He walked over to the area the two girls were in.
"It is you- the traitor!" Frederic exclaimed. "Have you come back to sabotage my supply of LeGoop?" "He's with us," Kim soothed.

Wade started to talk once again.
"I'm glad you're here Ron. I was just about to tell Kim that while you're undercover, Princess Adriana will ask you to be her boyfriend. You've got to play along so you can hang around the estate."

The three of them looked at Wade questioningly.Finally Ron spoke.
"That's gonna be totally awkweird, and how do you know she's going to ask me out?"

"She thinks you're extremely rich. Trust me, if any of the international rumors are true, she will."

"Why can't they just use that time-space thingy to go back and stop the kidnapping?" Monique wondered.
"Because the lack-wits in GJ's lab only made a transversal module strong enough to go back 7 days. The crime was at 11:47 eight days ago, and the federal police didn't think they needed our help until yesterday. It could take months to build another module."

By then Frederic was on the final touches.
"There, I am finished. It is my best work yet! Tres magnifique." Kim turned tentatively toward the mirror.

Her now brown hair looked more elegant than it did in the usual style. Curvy locks framed her face and turned into graceful ringlets at the ends. It complimented her eyes, which were fitted with sea blue contact lenses.

"If no one minds me saying, KP you look totally hot!" Ron blurted. Rufus nodded.

He's right, Kim" Monique agreed.

Kim was astounded herself.

"So not the drama," she said embarrassedly. "Let's get going."

I promise the mission will actually start next chapter. There will be some mystery solving later and even suspense!
