Dan, Aneisha, Tom and Keri walked through St. Hearts with a permanent scowl on their faces. They needed to leave so they could go talk to Stella at M.I.9 HQ and get Frank their too. They can't have their two 'parental figures' fighting all of the time and not talking or even seeing each other. It must have been a pretty big fight, they all thought before they bumped into Mr Flatley in the corridor.
"Hello, children! Why are you all so sad?" He asked.
"Sir, we need to see Frank right now!" Aneisha blurted out. The others looked at her with anger and she looked down, guilty at what she had just said.
"It's just that, Frank has been kinda down lately and we thought we might go cheer him up." Tom saved and everyone sighed with relief because, well, it was true.
"I just let Frank have some time off. Maybe you can see him tomorrow." Mr Flatley replied and Aneisha had an idea. She fell backwards onto the floor and quietly hissed with pain; she was an amazing actress.
"Oh no! Aneisha has fainted! I'll take her to the office, sir." Keri suggested and struggled to lift her up.
"I'll help too, sir." Dan grabbed Aneisha's feet and Keri grabbed her under the arms so she didn't pop her arm out.
As they walked down the corridor, Tom and Mr Flatley watched them and there was an awkward moment of silence before Tom broke it with an excuse to leave.
"Sir, I've got this injury in my, um… knee, yes my knee and the doctor said that I need to walk it off so the pain goes away. It's started hurting again so I'm just gonna go…" Tom started to walk away but Mr Flatley stopped him.
"How did it get injured, Tom?" He asked and Tom froze.
"Sir, do you promise not to tell anyone?" Tom whispered and Mr Flatley nodded in response.
"I love keeping secrets."
"OK. I secretly take dancing lessons out of school and I took a wrong turn in a dance move and my knee got injured." Tom whispered and Mr Flatley nodded.
"It's just between you and me Tom, you and me." Mr Flatley tapped his nose and walked away to the opposite end of the corridor where Lady J was practicing her Street Morris. You could hear his voice a mile away.
"Oh! Can I join you Felicity? I am the regional Morris Dancing champion you know!" Tom sighed and ran to where the others were waiting for him.
"What took you so long?" Dan asked and Tom put his hands on his knees and took deep breaths.
"No…time…explain…go." Tom said in between breaths and the others opened the door ad ran to the bus stop.
"Again with the running!" Tom sighed and chased after them so he wouldn't miss the bus.
Frank and Stella walked through M.I.9 HQ hand in hand smiling at everyone who walked past. All of the agents had been waiting for this a long time and when they had announced that they had gotten back together, everyone cheered for joy and Stella had even allowed then to throw a party in their honour. 10 years they waited for this, 10 whole years and now they get back together.
The only person who wasn't happy with this was the one and only, Horatio Stark. The Head of M.I.9 still hadn't fired him yet because she was waiting for the right moment and she really wanted someone in particular to do it. When he first started has training, he was so friendly and generous and took care in helping other agents but when the Head promoted him to Chief Agent, he was bossier, ruder and didn't give a damn about anything unless it was a mission. Now he was a down-right idiot who has no sense of humour and complained about everything. When the Head had moved him down into a lower position he was furious and complained by writing emails to her and taking it out on anyone who walked past him and laughed.
But when he saw Stella for the first time, his world changed.
Flashback…
His eyes were fixed on this beautiful girl walking through the corridor. She had brown-black hair tied up into a neat ponytail, fringe hanging over her face. Her face was done up with the usual make-up that consists of mascara, foundation and bright red lipstick. She wore smart clothes; dark blue, pencil skirt with a matching blazer over the top of a pale blue tank top. Black pumps were enclosed on her feet and she rounded the corner to the Head's office for a meeting.
Stark moved back to see where she was going and she saw her and Frank talking to each other and could just make out what they were saying.
"Stella?! Is that really you? You look, beautiful!" Frank's jaw dropped in shock; he thought that this was the last thing he would see, his ex-girlfriend who dumped him 10 years.
"Thanks Frank. You're not too bad yourself .Glad to see you've cut your hair." She smirked at him and she pushed his jaw shut so his mouth wasn't hanging open anymore. His eyes were still as big as saucers though.
"Um…uh…how did this happen? I haven't seen you since the break-up." He mumbled the last bit but Stella always heard him.
"Well I moved to another part of England so I could work as a higher-up officer there and now The Head, Clarissa, offered to give me the job of Chief Agent here. And besides, I thought it would be nice to see you again." She smiled warmly at him and it made his heart melt; he was still head over heels in love with her.
"'I'm going to see her for the final interview before she decides whether I can get the job or not."
"Well, er… good luck in there and I guess I'll see you soon?" Frank stuttered which made Stella giggle.
"Thanks Frank, hope to see you again soon too, maybe, if I get the job, we can catch up some time." She winked at him and sashayed away to Clarissa's office. Frank stared at her which made Stark jealous of the conversation they had. He could think of only one thing at that time, Frank London, this means war.
End of flashback
He could still remember that day as if it was yesterday. She was still as beautiful as she was. He had only been that red and furious twice in his life; when he saw Frank and Stella talking the first time he saw her and at the party when they were always together. It was, after all, in their honour.
Flashback…
Frank offered Stella's hand for a dance and when she accepted, he pulled her into the middle of the room just when the song 'Say Something' By A Great Big World and Christina Aguilera came over the speakers.
Frank placed his left hand on her waist and intertwined his fingers with hers. She placed her free hand on his left shoulder and they gazed into each other's eyes throughout the whole song. When the song reached the chorus, Frank broke the silence between them and said…
"I will never give up on you Stel. Not in a million years, not ever." She smiled and kissed him gently on the lips.
When the song had ended, everyone clapped and cheered except for Stark, of course because he's a jealous pig. He had a rage and the agents around him looked at him in disbelief, including Frank and Stella. He turned a brighter red and shuffled backwards in awkwardness.
The other agents were jumping and dancing around while Stark sat in the male toilets thinking in his head, that should be me, that should be me, not that so-called, perfect Frank London in Stella's eyes but me, Horatio Stark. And that's how he felt the rest of the night while everyone (including Clarissa) was partying and celebrating because of Frank and Stella.
End of Flashback
When the team reached M.I.9 HQ they had to run everywhere, hands flying everywhere holding their I.D passes. The adult agents were still not used to teenagers running around HQ. Frank and Stella had told Clarissa about the prank and because she has a good sense of humour but can still be serious, she said yes and would warn them if their team was coming. SO when she saw them running everywhere on the CCTV, she called Stella and told her to go to her office and for Frank to go back to the St. Hearts HQ.
Keri's POV
We had to keep running up these stairs just to get to Stella's office! She must be really fit! Or she could take the lift everyday… yeah; I'd go with that option. By the time we reached Stella's office, Tom collapsed but he was still conscious and even Dan was tired and he's, you know, Dan. Once we had stopped panting, we could hear sobbing from inside of the office. We quietly walked inside to see Stella curled up on her sofa, head between her knees.
"Stella, it's ok, it's just us." Aneisha quietly walked over to her and sat down beside her. Stella looked up and had a tear-stained face and swollen red eyes from crying so much.
"I've had enough of this." Tom mumbled to himself and got Stella off of the sofa.
"I'm sorry about that but we need to get this sorted out. Come on." Tom and Aneisha walked beside Stella trying to comfort her (even though Tom isn't really a 'comforting' person) while Dan and I walked behind them.
We had finally reached the tunnels to the St. Hearts underground base but Stella refused.
"No way am I going in there to see him." She started to walk away but Dan and I grabbed each of her arms just hard enough so she wouldn't move.
"No way Stella, you are going to do this." Dan knew he wasn't supposed to do this to Higher-ranked officials but they needed to get Frank and Stella talking again otherwise they wouldn't be able to complete missions properly with Frank moaning over her and Stella trying not to cry whenever she heard his name. This has got to be worse than the break-up; I thought to myself and pushed Stella forward a little so I wasn't hurting her.
We all walked through the tunnels together until we say Frank slumping on a chair with his back facing towards them.
"Frank." He turned around to see Stella smiling a little but then went back to being sad.
"Come on, Frank. You guys need to apologise to each other." Aneisha let Stella walk to Frank but stopped half-way. Dan sighed and then…
"That is it! I've had it with you two crying over each freakin other and then we can't finish the freakin mission because you two are always sobbing and moaning and tearing up! Well I've had it so will you two freakin make up already!" When Dan had finished shouting, Frank and Stella couldn't hold back anymore and burst into laughter. Stella walked over to him and Frank kissed her on the forehead.
"That was one of the funniest things I have ever seen in my entire life. And I think it was one of the best pranks we've pulled on anyone, isn't that right Stel?"
"Oh absolutely! It was priceless!" Then they started to laugh even harder. All of our jaws dropped open, but I think Dan's dropped open the widest.
"Wait…this was all a prank? What about the fight? Was that a prank too?" Aneisha asked, obviously angry with the couple.
"No, we actually did have a fight, but we made up in M.I.9 HQ so you guys wouldn't know that we had forgiven each other. Then Frank had this idea that we should play and prank on you guys since you always play pranks on us." Stella explained and tears of laughter were rolling down her cheeks.
"Oh yeah? Name five." Tom said.
"Ok. First you scared me when I came down the lift…" Frank started
"…Secondly you put salt into my coffee…" Stella raised an eyebrow and I laughed.
"…Thirdly someone swapped all of the names of my files so that I'd get angry…" He was looking directly at Tom and he tried to hold a laugh in.
"…Fourthly someone raised the alarm that KORPS were in the St. Hearts underground base…" Again, she was looking at Tom but this time Tom burst out laughing.
"…And lastly you dressed up as Stel and I at a wedding so it looked like we were getting married when we had only just gotten back together, recorded it, then someone edited to the video so it actually looked like Stel and I and then you sent it to everyone at M.I.9." Frank raised an eyebrow at Tom and tears of laughter were rolling down his cheek. He literally collapsed of the floor then started rolling around which made everyone laugh because we had never seen him laugh so hard before. Tears were rolling down Neish's face too because she thought her boyfriend was so funny.
Neish helped Tom back up off of the ground and when he had calmed down he said…
"Ok, I see your point."
"Well now it's time for a little payback Thomas Tupper, Aneisha Jones, Daniel Morgan and Keri Summers." Stella walked over to one of the M.I.9 computers and her fingers flied all over the keyboard until some sort of camera footage was brought up on the screen. We all looked at each other in confusion then saw Dan having his little tantrum. Stella fast-forwarded the camera tape and we saw Tom rolling on the floor with laughter. She pressed some buttons and a CD came out of the computer. Tom's face was a sign that he had realised what they were doing.
"No no no no no! Please don't do this! I beg you!" He literally got down on two knees and put his hands up I surrender.
"Well, you should have thought of that before I sent it to everyone in M.I.9." Stella said and Dan completely lost it.
"YOU DID WHAT NOW! It is on like Donkey Kong!" He shouted and everyone burst out laughing including himself.
"Come on you lot. Get back to school." We all walked to the lift and stared at Frank and Stella with mock anger and gave them a face which said, Oh he's right, IT IS ON!
