"D-Do... do you mean it, Nick?" May asked.
"You know me," Nick answered. "Right, May?"
Unable to contain herself any longer, May threw herself into Nick's arms, her sad frown replaced by a happy smile.
"Thank you, Nick," May cried. "Thank you so much..."
"Any time, May," Nick responded. "We'll find a perfect time to tell the others about this, okay? I'm sure if we handle it delicately, it won't give anyone the wrong idea."
"Yeah, I don't think a swank hotel taken over by a psycho celebrity worshipper is the time or place to talk about relationship drama," May giggled.
"And knowing Alex, I'm pretty sure she'll understand," Nick noted. "It is Alex we're talking about."
"True," May admitted.
"Is... is everything okay?" Eri asked as she walked up to the two spies, having stepped to the side while Nick and May had their conversation. "I didn't wanna butt in."
"We're good now, Eri," May answered, patting Eri on the head. "We just had to talk it out."
"And now, I think we should continue our hunt for the captain," Nick proclaimed. "After all, we've still gotta get Eri back to her mother."
"Right," May responded. "Let's go find Hayes and kick him where it hurts."
Nick and May joined hands and raced down the hallway, Eri not too far behind them, as they resumed their search for Captain Hayes.

Story Summary: The eighth joint project between Mat49324 and The Blue Time Ranger, collectively known as Totally Spies: The New Adventures. One day after a bout of shopping at the Groove, Sam and Mat learn that they've won a contest for sweethearts; Alex and Nick have won, too. The main event is a week-long stay at a fancy hotel! Unfortunately, the sweet quickly turns to sour when it's revealed that yet another of the spies' old foes, the celebrity-worshipping Captain Hayes, has marooned everyone inside the hotel, celebrities and all, including Sam and Mat. Can the rest of the spies break everyone out before Captain Hayes can enact whatever his newest sinister plan is?
On Today's Episode: With the spies back together in one large group, it's finally time to confront Captain Hayes and make him pay for ruining the getaway. But what tricks does the good captain still have up his sleeves? Will Eri finally be reunited with her mother? And what could Jerry be planning?

Author's Note from Mat49324: In response to the anonymous user, Ashley W: Well, that may be so, but what other plots would you personally think of? Point taken on using "said" too much, and I am working on that. I'm not asking for people to care for our OCs, too – others include OCs of their own; I don't like being told I shouldn't do this while other people do that. My writing is already decent in my book (not the best in the world, but enjoyable enough for me to like it), and certainly better from 16 years ago.

Episode 3: Flashy Finale
(From Mat49324)
With Eri in tow, Nick and May meandered around the Beverly Hills Hotel, only to spot Nozomi's back briefly. May grabbed Eri by the shoulders as Nick turned on the juice and moved faster.
"Girls, it's us!" Nick proclaimed.
Nozomi and Haruka looked over their shoulders to see the two. Haruka eyed May and she smiled at seeing May seemingly at ease.
"Eri, we should be close to finding your mother," Dawn stated.
That made Eri hopeful (as expected). "Oh thank you, thank you, thank you!" Eri exclaimed.
"We'll get you to her," Bridget replied.
"And we got Alex, Mat, and Sam out, too," Melissa told Nick.
"Come on, spies!" Clover exclaimed. "We got a worshipping celeb wannabe to stop!"
"Boy, if there's one thing about hotels, they aren't easy to find your desired destinations sometimes," Mat quipped.
"Totally," Alex replied in agreement.
The spies checked the spa area first.
"I never thought I'd see the day where I come to the spa on business instead of pleasure," Clover remarked.
"Things happen," Nozomi responded to Clover.
"Now where are you, Captain Hayes?!" Sam growled.
"Yeah," Alex added. "We wanted a romantic getaway to NOT turn into a mission, but it DID... courtesy of YOU!"
Britney spotted something out of the corner of her eye. "I saw him!"
"Let's get him!" Haruka exclaimed.
With that, the group of twelve spies went after him, Britney leading the way. Frustrating enough, there was no sign of Captain Hayes after running through the hotel.
"Okay, I'm starting to get sick of this runaround. GET YOUR ASS OUT HERE, HAYES!" Sam yelled with a REALLY angry look on her face to boot.
"Holy crapbaskets," May remarked. "I don't think I've seen Sam this mad since we stomped James."
"Our perfect getaway's been ruined by a celebrity-obsessed nutball!" Alex told May. "I'm sure she and I have every right to hate his guts right now."
"And no matter what," Nick added. "I stand behind my girlfriend and agree with her two hundred percent!"
"If there were a way to consult legal action, we'd be all over that in a heartbeat!" Mat proclaimed.
"Totally!" Sam stated in full agreement with her boyfriend. "Worse of all, we finally got treated to dinner with our boyfriends... and now we gotta scrap that and try again!"
"I take things like that personally myself," Mat stated. "The dinner may have been on the house, but this guy ruined everything!"
"All we wanted was a nice time with our boyfriends," Alex proclaimed. "Is that so much to ask?!"
"Hey, don't worry, Alex," Nick replied. "We'll find Hayes and we'll stomp him for ruining our dinner plans."
"I wouldn't call a botched dinner a total loss," Captain Hayes sneered as the spies turned around to see him.
They were all near the front desk in the lobby.
"All right, spies!" Sam declared in her leader tone, and with a vexed look on her face like she wanted to kill someone. "Let's get this psycho and show that we mean business!"
"And how we don't appreciate the circumstances that came up, too!" Alex exclaimed.
(Written by The Blue Time Ranger)
Of course, Captain Hayes decided to retreat instead. Unknown to him, however, as he turned around, May threw a tracking beacon onto his back.
"Of freaking course you would, you coward!" Sam shouted, already dashing off down the hallway.
May went to retrieve her X-Powder and open up the tracking program. "It looks like he's trying to escape to the roof," May quipped.
"Then let's get up there and corner him before he escapes!" Alex proclaimed. "Sammy, come back! We're going to the roof!"
"Don't worry, Eri," May stated, turning to face Eri. "We just gotta finish stomping Captain Hayes, and we'll get you to your mother. Speaking of which, everyone, did you find her?"
"Yeah, she was in one of those rooms full of celebrities," Britney replied. "We had her and all the others hide in one of the banquet halls where they'll be safe."
"All right, spies, time to end this nonsense!" Nick proclaimed. "Let's go kick the captain where it hurts!"
After an affirmative from everyone (including Eri, humorously), the spies followed May's tracking beacon up to the roof.
"Holy crap, it's sunset already?" Nozomi gasped once they'd arrived on the roof of the hotel. "How long have we been stuck in this crazy madness?!"
"Long enough, apparently," Bridget replied, activating Sonic Mode.
Nick glanced to the right and saw Captain Hayes standing there, looking down at the driveway of the Beverly Hills Hotel.
"Such splendor," Captain Hayes proclaimed. "All these celebrities, mine for the taking? It honestly feels like a dream come true, don't you agree?"
"Well, it's gonna be a nightmare in about ten seconds!" Alex shot back, getting into a fighting stance. "You're going to pay for ruining our getaway!"
"Very well, then come at me," Captain Hayes proclaimed, spreading his arms out to accept any challengers.
Nick threw his arms out and let his psychic aura burst to life around him. "You have five seconds to show some remorse," Nick challenged. "Because what I'm about to might not be suitable for Eri to see."
Captain Hayes simply grinned evilly.
"Didn't think so," Nick replied, lunging forward to attack.
Captain Hayes ducked under Nick's punch, only to be yanked back up by Nick's psychic hold and punched in the stomach, sending him stumbling back towards the rest of the spies.
"All right, who wants to give him hell first?" Nick stated.
"That would be me," Sam responded, running up and thwacking Captain Hayes across the head with a flying kick.
"Me next, me next!" Alex exclaimed, dashing in to rock Captain Hayes back with an uppercut to the chin (while resisting the heavily inappropriate urge to shout "SHORYUKEN" at the top of her lungs).
"I'll take this one, then," Mat stated, walking up to Captain Hayes and lashing out with a right hook to his face.
Nick then reached out to ensnare Captain Hayes in his psychic grip.
"I warned you, ya know," Nick growled. "I freakin' warned you that I was going to play smashy-smashy with you if you didn't tell us where Eri's mother is. And now, I think you're in some really deep trouble."
Nick raised his hand to lift Captain Hayes into the air, then brought it down to smash the captain into the ground before drawing his free hand back, neon-green energy gathering into his palm.
While Nick was charging up, Eri ran over to Captain Hayes and, to everyone's shock, slapped him hard across the face, the sound echoing across the area.
"Okay, was not expecting that," Clover giggled.
"That's for taking mama away from me, you big meanie!" Eri exclaimed.
"All right, Eri, come back over here so you don't get caught in what Nick's about to do next, okay?" Dawn asked.
Once Eri was back with the group ("I didn't want to feel left out," said Eri), Nick aimed his glowing palm towards the trapped Captain Hayes.
"You've got a lot to answer for, captain," Nick proclaimed. "And this is just for starters! FINAL SHINE ATTACK!"
Despite Captain Hayes' struggles, Nick unleashed a powerful blast of neon-green light that thundered through the air and struck Captain Hayes in the chest, sending him flying back towards the edge of the building.
"Now get up," Nick growled. "We're not anywhere near done with you yet."
Even after all the damage he'd taken, Captain Hayes simply smirked. "Oh, but I think you are," Captain Hayes laughed...
...before taking two steps backwards and falling off of the roof.
"Wait, did he just...?!" Mat gasped.
Before anyone could question why Captain Hayes had just leaped off the roof, the entire surrounding area began to rumble.
Nick jogged over to the edge of the roof that Captain Hayes had jumped off of...
...only for a gargantuan robot to rise from ground level and take aim at the spies. This particular robot was a massive grey mech with occasional spots of red, with a small dome-shaped head that could open up like an eye. It also had three spike-like appendages on top of it similar to a crown, a rounded body with a red energy core in the middle, four tentacles with three-clawed hands at the end of each one on its back, large shoulder pads with silver on its upper and lower arms and large fist with four fingers on both arms, and a very serpent-like lower body.
"I was waiting for the perfect time to bring out my trump card," Captain Hayes laughed from the cockpit of the robot, located right behind its eye. "Always have a backup plan, I say."
"All right," May proclaimed. "Between that Solaris thing that Terrence used, Kevin's 'oval' mech, that dang kaiju spider-bot, the freakin' Stage Gundam, and now this, I've just about had it up to here with the bad guys pulling out some kind of giant robot as their super ultimate trump card!"
"Remember rules for villains, number sixty-one?" Haruka teased.
"...oh," May sighed.
"Well, that's not going to stop us," Nick proclaimed, his psychic aura flaring back up again. "We've taken down bigger robots than this!"
"That's right!" Alex exclaimed. "So don't think you're intimidating us, captain!"
"Oh, really?" Captain Hayes laughed. "Well, let's see if you change your tune after this!"
The robot's dome-shaped head opened up to reveal a large eye that began gathering energy.
"Um... should we..." Dawn wondered.
Naturally, a large red laser beam erupted from the robot's eye.
"SCATTER!" Nick shouted, and everyone dove in different directions to avoid the laser blast.
The robot swiveled on its serpent-like lower body to pivot the laser beam around, carving trenches in the hotel roof and forcing the spies to stay on the move.
At one point, the laser had moved towards Alex when she was just recovering from another dodge roll, only for Nick to leap over and project a psychic barrier to dispel the laser just in time.
The robot's four tentacles aimed for specific spots on the ground and fired off a short burst of red laser that, when it hit the roof, exploded into a short-range shockwave that forced May, Nozomi, and Haruka to jump to avoid the waves.
"Does anyone see a weak point on this thing?" May asked. "I don't think we can keep up the acrobatics forever!"
"I'm willing to bet we should attack the giant 'HEY PLEASE HIT ME HERE' core in the middle," Haruka responded, firing off a blast from her Wind Tunnel 9000, only for the said blast to be dispelled by a hexagonal energy barrier. "...crapbaskets, he thought of that."
"Guess we'll have to find a way to bring the shield down first," Nick stated, standing his ground as the robot opened up and fired another laser from its eye. When it was close enough, Nick let loose a Final Shine Attack to counter the laser, and Nick's attack eventually overpowered the laser and thundered on to strike the head, rattling the robot and causing the energy shield around its core to flicker before re-solidifying.
"All right, we're on to something here!" Nozomi exclaimed.
"Are you, now?!" Captain Hayes taunted as the robot dipped down, its four tentacles lashing out to grasp the edges of the building so its arms could start punching outwards.
"Okay, not nice!" Clover shouted as she ducked under another punch.
"Even worse, these flailing arms are keeping us from getting a good shot at the core!" Sam exclaimed, firing her own Wind Tunnel 9000 to push the left arm back and away from her.
"I'm gonna take to the air and provide covering fire," Nick replied, floating slightly off the ground. "Attack the core as soon as I can provide an opening, okay?"
"Roger that!" Alex stated as Nick flew up to a higher altitude.
Naturally, the robot's tentacles all aimed for him, the hands on them firing off laser blasts rapid-fire. Nick dove through the air to avoid the shots before darting back down slightly to strike the head casing, causing the core's shield to flicker briefly.
May was thankfully able to get at least one full-powered Laser Lipstick shot off on the core before the shield reformed.
"Progress!" May shouted.
"Pathetic little spies!" Captain Hayes growled. "Don't think you've won yet!"
"You know, they always say that, too," Nick taunted before jumping over to strike the cockpit casing with a flying snap kick, unaware of the robot's tentacles converging on him.
"NICK, WATCH OUT!" Alex screamed.
Nick only had time to turn around as the four tentacles all constricted him, their hands sparking with electricity that shocked Nick for a couple seconds until one of the tentacles whipped out to knock him off of the robot.
Even as May ran over to catch Nick, the other spies noticed that the core's shield had temporarily disappeared.
"All over it!" Bridget shouted, re-equipping her Metal Masher Boxing Glove and lunging forward with Sonic Mode's speed to throw a vicious right hook into the vulnerable core, causing the robot to shudder violently.
"DIRECT HIT!" Haruka shouted.
"Oh, I'm not done with you yet," Captain Hayes proclaimed as the robot recovered itself and its core shield regenerated. The robot lashed out with its right arm, though instead of trying to slug the spies, it instead snatched Eri in its grip and brought her towards the robot.
"Eri!" Dawn shouted.
"Let her go, creep-a-tronic!" May exclaimed.
"Your foolish mistake for letting your guard down," Captain Hayes proclaimed.
"SOMEONE HELP!" Eri shouted.
Nick's response was instantaneous, his aura flaring before he blasted into the air and formed an energy blade on his hand.
"Just try and do something," Captain Hayes taunted. "That butter knife can't get me in here."
In response, Nick just grinned. "Who said I was aiming for you?"
Before Captain Hayes could wonder what he meant, Nick dropped down swiftly and slashed his energy blade through the connecting joint of the arm that was holding Eri, cleanly severing the entire arm from the robot's chassis.
The instant the hand loosened its grip on Eri, Nick flew back down to catch her and bring her safely back to the hotel roof. Once they were on safe ground, Eri immediately hugged Nick.
"Thanks for saving me!" Eri giggled.
"Always happy to help, Eri," Nick replied before gently setting Eri down so she could run back to the rest of the group, then turning his sights to Captain Hayes.
"I didn't think even you would stoop so low, Hayes," Nick growled.
"YOU HAVEN'T BEAT ME YET!" Captain Hayes exclaimed, the robot's remaining arm rearing back for a punch.
Nick simply sidestepped the punch, then used another energy blade to sever that arm from the robot as well.
Almost immediately, the robot froze up, and the shield protecting the core vanished.
"I think this is our chance!" Haruka stated.
"Let's hit it with everything we've got!" Nick exclaimed. "Blast the core before he can get the shield back online!"
Everyone aimed for the robot while it was locked up, charging their Laser Lipsticks (or Chapstick in Mat's case) to full power, while Nick charged up for a full-power Final Shine Attack.
"FIRE!" Sam shouted.
All twelve spies fired at once, their attacks combining to form a red-and-green beam of pure chaos that sliced through the sunset air and pierced straight through the robot's core. After a few moments of deafening silence, the robot's internal systems were ravaged by explosions as it slowly sunk back to the ground below, more explosions tearing the robot apart.
Nick was the first to jog over and inspect the robot's wreckage below. All four tentacles had broken off, the serpent-like lower body was in pieces, and the arm stumps were destroyed beyond recognition.
"That was a lot grander of an explosion than I thought it was going to be," May giggled as she glanced down at the wreckage.
Just then, though...
"Um... does anyone else hear that banging sound?" Alex asked.
"Yeah, it sounds like something's trying to escape from something," Nozomi admitted.
"It's probably the captain trying to get out of that wreck and make a break for it," Nick stated.
May glanced back down at the wrecked robot, its main body the only part of it that had stayed relatively intact despite its core being destroyed.
Suddenly, that odd banging sound started up again, and this time May could clearly see a small door of spikes surrounding the spot where the core used to be, and they were being pushed outwards as if something was indeed trying to escape.
Just as Sam was debating whether or not to call Jerry, something broke through the robot's wrecked body and flew back up to the roof. It turned out to be a smaller, but no less intimidating robot with a large head in the middle, two smaller heads on the sides and smaller cord-like appendages below it, each with a single eye, and eight long tentacles each ending in clawed hands.
"Son of a biscuit, you had another dang robot?!" May exclaimed, clearly frustrated.
"Like I said, I thought this one through," Captain Hayes responded from the cockpit of this smaller mech. "A backup plan for my backup plan, if you will."
"All right, that's it!" Nick shouted, his aura pulsing dangerously. "I've had it up to here with your nonsense! You're going to pay dearly for ruining our perfect getaway!"
The new robot simply flew forward to attack Nick, but he sent it flying backwards with a pulse wave. Not to be deterred, the robot's tentacles all lashed out to grab Nick, but he quickly dodged away from them before firing a few quick bursts on the robot, which thankfully didn't have an annoying shield like the larger robot did.
The robot opened its 'mouth' to unleash two streams of fire towards Nick, but Alex rushed in and activated her All-Weather Umbrella, surrounding the two of them with a spherical pink bubble that caused the fire streams to harmlessly dissipate on contact.
"Thanks for the save, Alex," Nick quipped, raising his hand to charge up.
"Any time!" Alex giggled.
Once Alex deactivated the All-Weather Umbrella, Nick fired off a more powerful shot that rocked the robot backwards, revealing what appeared to be its core on the underbelly.
"Just like robot spider boy," Nozomi quipped.
"Last chance, captain," Nick stated, raising both of his hands.
The robot simply aimed all eight of its tentacles for Nick, charging up its lasers.
"Didn't think so," Nick proclaimed.
However, at the last second, Nick noticed the tentacles changing their aim, now towards the rest of the spies. Then, the robot flew around to behind the spies, seemingly giving Nick no time to react quickly enough.
"You underestimated my tenacity, boy!" Captain Hayes cackled, completely confident in his victory. "And now, all of your precious friends are about to be laser chow!"
Nick just raised his hand, which was glowing brightly. "Don't ever count us out."
In response to this, Nick clenched his fist, and a large bubble of psychic energy expanded outward from his palm until it covered the entire rooftop, Captain Hayes and his robot included, grinding time within the bubble to a complete halt.
While time was still frozen, Nick readied both of his hands, knowing he'd have to act quickly in order to make this work.
"I've warned so many superbads, but they don't seem to listen," Nick proclaimed. "You mess with my friends, you pay the price."
Nick blinked twice to undo the time freeze, then used his left hand to fire off a quick, but powerful psychic shot that knocked Captain Hayes' robot back and flipped it over.
The instant the core was exposed, Nick raised his other hand to fire off a stronger Final Shine Attack that pierced right through the robot's core, causing it to explode in grand fashion. The cockpit where Captain Hayes was stationed was jettisoned the instant his robot started exploding and crashed to the roof as the robot gradually descended as it destroyed itself, joining the larger robot as a pile of scrap metal.
Captain Hayes fell out of the cockpit, covered in ash and soot from his exploded robots but otherwise physically unharmed. He looked up and saw all twelve spies, as well as Eri, bearing down on him.
"I... I don't suppose I can talk my way out of this, can I?" Captain Hayes meekly asked, knowing he was finished.
"You got that right," Mat proclaimed.
"All right, everyone, DOGPILE!" May exclaimed.
With that, all of the spies and even Eri lunged for Captain Hayes.
When the W.O.O.H.P. chopper finally arrived to apprehend Captain Hayes, he was out cold with swirls in his eyes.
"Serves you right, jerk!" Eri proclaimed, sticking her tongue out at the dazed Captain Hayes.
"Excellent job as always, spies," Jerry proclaimed. "We can handle taking Captain Hayes to prison from here."
"And make sure to reinforce that place, too," Nozomi quipped.
"I'll see to it," Jerry answered. "Also, I want you all to stop by my office when you've finished your business here. I have something to tell you."
Before anyone could question what he meant, Jerry and the chopper had already flown away, Captain Hayes in tow.
"Huh," Alex quipped. "Wonder what he meant by that?"
"I'm sure we'll figure it out when we get there," Nick replied. "But right now, we should probably get back into the hotel and make sure everyone's okay. Also, I think Eri needs to get back to her mother."
"Good idea!" May proclaimed.
(From Mat49324)
Nick, May, and Mat went to the ballroom to return Eri to her mom, the other spies in tow. Their hearts were warmed when Emi stepped forward to take Eri.
"Thank you so much," Emi replied gratefully to the spies.
The group of celebs gave a round of applause to the twelve spies as well. It was enough to make Sam and Alex smile for the time being.
"Mama!" Eri exclaimed, rushing over to hug her mother.
"Are you doing okay, Eri?" Emi asked.
"Yep!" Eri stated. "My new friends beat the bad guy and saved us!"
"Did they, now?" Emi teased, smiling at the spies once again.
While all that was going on, Triple Threat came up to Sam and Alex and gave their triple "Yo" greeting.
"You girls okay after that freaky guy did what he did?" asked Stan.
"Yeah, we're getting better," Sam answered, trying to keep a cheerful disposition.
"Totally," Alex quipped.
With that, the two girls were shocked to hear Triple Threat offer them VIP passes to their next concert as a way to make amends for the circumstances that came up. Sam and Alex accepted, and Alex even requested one for Clover and Nick while Sam requested an extra for Mat.
After the spies had left the hotel ballroom (with the celebs waving goodbye – and the two couples finding their suitcases from the suite), the twelve made their way to W.O.O.H.P. HQ.
8:19 PM – W.O.O.H.P. Headquarters
The twelve spies reconvened in Jerry's office.
"As mentioned earlier, another job well done, spies," Jerry stated.
"Thanks, Jer," Clover replied.
"Let's hope Captain Hayes will learn to worship celebs respectfully one day," Melissa quipped.
"One can hope," Britney remarked.
"Yes," Jerry remarked. "And we are looking into making the WOOHP Containment Facility a notch harder for fugitives to escape, promise."
Haruka looked behind to see Sam and Alex with disappointed looks on their faces. Uh oh, she thought, and then got Nick and Mat's attention.
Upon seeing this, both boys went to their girlfriends.
"What's wrong?" Mat asked.
"We just wanted a romantic getaway with our boyfriends," Alex answered, almost like she wanted to cry.
"But the worst part is," Sam added dejectedly. "We finally get treated to dinner with our boyfriends, and then the circumstances we didn't want to come up... came up."
"Oh yeah," Mat stated and realized the magnitude of this predicament.
"For what it's worth," Nick replied. "Mat and I are disappointed as much as you two are."
Sam and Alex hugged their respective boyfriends over what just happened, even if the spy group successfully stopped Captain Hayes. Jerry saw the mood among them, his suspicions (at least with Alex) officially confirmed.
"There there, ladies," Jerry stated as one tear each came from Sam and Alex's eyes. "I didn't get a chance to congratulate you two couples, but it's already too late."
"Too late is totally an understatement," Alex stated, feeling down.
"Botched getaways, kooky villains, and ruined dinners will no longer be a concern for now, spies," Jerry quipped with a smile on his face. "I've arranged a surprise for all twelve of you... one I'm sure will make Alex and Mat happy at least..."
"Oh?" Alex and Mat stated with shocked looks on their faces and then looked at each other.
11:28 AM – Laniakea Beach (O'ahu's North Shore)
The twelve spies were seen on the beach in their swimsuits. Nick, Alex, Mat, and Sam were the happiest to say the least.
"Happy now, agents?" Jerry asked.
"Couldn't be happier!" Alex exclaimed.
"Thanks a lot, Jer!" Mat remarked, giving a "shaka" to Jerry.
"Totally!" Sam exclaimed.
"And it's a bonus we get included, too!" Bridget quipped.
"Yeah!" Dawn exclaimed.
"Maybe I can bag me a Hawaiian hottie like Sammy did with Mat," Clover giggled and did some of her normal boy-watching.
"Speaking of which," Alex remarked. "Mat, you were telling us of things you can do 'only in Hawaii'?"
"Oh yeah that's right," Mat laughed.
Everyone listened in.
"Well, only in Hawaii can you learn how to make a lei," Mat began. He then looked over his shoulder. "And since we're on the North Shore of Oahu, you can jump in the water from Waimea Rock."
"I remember that," Alex giggled.
"I say we try jump in the water, bro," Nick quipped.
Clover caught wind at Nick, Alex, Mat, and Sam and followed them; so did Britney. As for Bridget and the others, Melissa and Dawn took in the sun while Haruka, Nozomi, and May took a run into the ocean.
"It's a little bit of a big drop," Mat told the others. "But it's totally worth it!"
"You're the former Hawaii resident, bro," Nick quipped. "I believe it."
"Totally," Alex quipped.
Nick, Alex, and Sam got a look for themselves when they got to the top. Clover even got photos of the two couples before they could jump, too; Sam and Alex even tried the shakas, and so did Nick. Some of the other friends caught wind of the two couples ready to jump and got their phones for recording and photos.
"Here we go..." Mat remarked and held Sam's hand.
("Breakaway" by Kelly Clarkson plays)
Nick did the same with Alex. The two couples jumped in the water and let out screams. The four resurfaced and shared some laughs before they swam back to shore.
"Alex, I hope you take some notes because I got at least a few other things to mention to do only in Hawaii," Mat quipped.
"I totally will, Mat," Alex remarked.
Sam laughed about it.
After Clover and Britney jumped in themselves, the group of friends walked back; Melissa and Dawn were currently enjoying shaved ice, and so was May. The two couples went back to the shoreline holding hands.
Nick suddenly moved closer to Alex, placing his hands around her waist and lifting her into the air, then twirling her around for a second or two before pulling her closer to him.
"Figured you might like that," Nick laughed.
"Oh, definitely," Alex giggled.
Mat and Sam got a front-row seat at what Nick just did, and Mat turned to Sam.
"At least Jerry didn't make this a total loss," Mat quipped.
"You said it," Sam replied.
With that, the two shared a smile, and Mat picked up Sam from under her shoulders and spun her around in a twirl of love himself. Sam laughed as Mat spun her in the air, and she oohed when Mat put her back down and her feet splashed in an oncoming wave. Like clockwork, Sam hugged Mat, and Alex hugged Nick.
"We definitely have the best boyfriends ever, don't we?" Sam asked.
"I hear ya there, girl," Alex replied.
Like clockwork, the two couples shared really nice and passionate kisses.
(Written by The Blue Time Ranger)
"Man, you weren't kidding, bro," Nick quipped. "Hawaii is awesome."
"Told you so," Mat responded.
The sound of a splash caught the group's attention, so they glanced towards its source to find Haruka and May having a rather intense water fight just off the shore.
"Wow, those two aren't wasting any time, huh?" Nozomi giggled.
"Well, Haruka did say she wanted revenge for that one time she got sacked into the pool by May," Nick laughed. "Guess they figured now would be the best time."
Even as May swept her right leg out to send a small wave Haruka's way, which she raised her arms to block, May caught a glimpse of Haruka's expression as she mouthed the words "I told you he'd understand".
May couldn't help but smile even as she pushed that thought away for now to continue her splash fight. There'd be a better time to talk about it.
"You know, sometimes I think we're the luckiest teenagers ever," Sam stated.
"Really? How do you figure?" Alex asked.
"Our job as spies lets us go to some really amazing places," Sam answered. "Places I'm sure we probably might have never had the chance to see otherwise."
"And for Mat and I, at least, we got to meet the greatest girls we've ever had the pleasure of knowing," Nick admitted.
"Aw, you," Alex giggled, leaning over to hug Nick.
"That's a definite agreement there, Nick," Mat replied, leaning over to kiss Sam. "And I honestly wouldn't have it any other way."
"Same here," Alex proclaimed, kissing Nick as well.
The spies all enjoyed the scenery of Hawaii, knowing they really couldn't ask for anything better at this point in time.
Totally Spies: A Getaway Gone Wrong

Final Author's Notes from Mat49324: The fun is definitely coming back in me doing these joint fics. Also, this is the only time I'll bring up that ranting snowflake. I have not been intimidated since changing my "Mat" character to a regular OC. I regret the SI stuff as much today, but I still give myself a bit of credit because that was 16 years ago and some people liked it. I can honestly say numerous times that Mat is NOT an SI AT ALL! I'm just going to keep having fun with these things and how much I missed writing Totally Spies fics myself. Anyway, I'm looking forward to my next project w/ The Blue Time Ranger, Smiles and Tears, and our 10th episode that WILL DEFINITELY be worth writing in the end. Oh, and stay tuned for my newest oneshot coming soon on my channel titled Aqua Spies, which is a request from dumas on FF (called stephdumas on DeviantArt). Anyway, we hope you enjoyed this 8th episode of Totally Spies: The New Adventures as much as we did writing this. It was a mix of S3's "Evil Airlines Much?" and S1's "The Getaway."
Final Author's Notes from The Blue Time Ranger: And with that, episode eight of Totally Spies: The New Adventures is finished! We envisioned this as sort of a sequel to "Evil Airlines Much?", since these stories mostly take place in the timeframe of season 4 of the show, and could be considered our own version of season four. You know, in case anyone was wondering.
Now, as for the next chapter of The New Adventures... you may have noticed that May, well, poured her heart out to Nick over the course of the hotel siege. Despite the fact that she wanted to save that conversation for a later time, that time may come sooner than expected, as it's gonna be the focal point of our next story, Totally Spies: Smiles and Tears, which will be on my profile when it comes out. So, until then, have a fantastic day, don't listen to the screeching morons, enjoy this preview of Smiles and Tears, and we'll see you next mission!

"Oh, lordy, who is it this time?" Nozomi groaned as Jerry switched his video feed to an image of the culprit they had to re-apprehend today.
"Wait, wait, is that..." Sam asked, focusing on the strange image in front of her. "Violet Vanderfleet?!"
"Hold on, are you talking about that crazy chick who tried to use her evil plants to destroy all the men in the world?!" Alex gasped. "What are she and her Poison Ivy ripoffs doing out and about?!"
"It seems that she had escaped from prison before our work on reinforcing it was completed," Jerry answered. "Regardless, it seems as if she is once again trying to 'ruin men', as she would say, by way of her plants releasing spores that have had a... shall we say, strange effect on some people."
Jerry cycled through different video footage W.O.O.H.P. drones had taken of men that had been affected by Violet's spores...
...and most of them had stormed out on their significant others, leaving the women to cry.
"They're... breaking up with them because of the pollen?" Melissa asked.
"It would seem that way," Jerry stated.
Sam and Mat glanced worryingly at each other, as did Nick and Alex, knowing full well what could happen if they got themselves exposed.
But, unknown to them, May's gaze was focused on the two couples.
No. No way in hell, May thought. Despite my own feelings, I'm not letting that happen to them. Those two couples are going to STAY in a loving and candy-sweet relationship as long as I have something to say about it.
Even though, deep down, May knew that her own feelings for Nick were going to find their way into the public sooner or later. It was just a matter of time, after all. But May figured she'd worry about that when it came to that point.
