Seriously. I hope Jerry whoops us right now. Alyssa said, poking my MPCom. The vacuum cleaner in the corner started and we were sucked down. HOW DO WE FIT IN HERE! I yelled, as my head, the last head, was sucked in. Soon, we were all flying down a tube.
Alyssa screamed. We fell in random positions on the couch. For the second time today. Nice pajamas. Jerry said.
Thanks. I said sarcastically.
I clicked the green button for no further embarrassment.
You probably just got the message from the Clark s captor. He said.
No duh. Arina said, clicking her green button.
You mean no chizz. Alyssa replied, clicking her green button too.
I need to see your MPCom. Jerry said. I tossed it to him, a lot like he tossed mine to me. He caught it and plugged it into a super computer. By super, I mean super cause that thing was smaller then a paper bag, yet it downloaded the message in seconds! The big screen behind him relayed the message.
He clicked a button and a bunch of faces flashed through the screen. The voice is John Carpatto, a.k.a. The Music Man. The only way our spies have ever defeated him was at his own game, music. Ah. We all said at the same time.
He s a villian terribly hard to catch. He always disappears in a flash of lights and smoke. We ve found that the lights came from lights in the ceiling and smoke machines hidden in the floor. So, where do we find him? Arina asked.
Where would you go for music? Jerry asked.
The concert hall. Alyssa said. But that was torn down last week. We all thought. Then I snapped my fingers.
I d go where ever music was first made, into a recording studio. Jerry stopped, then nodded. Makes sense. Your gadgets. He pressed another button and a drawer popped out of the front of his desk. There s the Gadget Guitar. He tossed me a key ring.
This is a key ring. I said, pointing out the obvious.
It is til you squeeze the guitar. I squeezed the mini guitar dangling from the ring. There was a puff of smoke and a large POP sound, and there was a normal sized guitar in my hands. Cool. I said.
The guitar sends out supersonic sound waves, to deafen and confuse opponents. It also destroys machines other than Whoop s, if you use the Clicky-Clackers and SuperSonic Song Sounder too. He tossed me the S.S.S.S. and tossed Alyssa and Arina the Clicky-Clackers. They looked like castanets. The S.S.S.S. looked like a regular stage mic that you hang from your ear. And there s the Dazzling Drumsticks and Pizzazz Piano Guitar. He tosses drumsticks to Arina and a key ring piano guitar to Alyssa. And last but not least, the Mini Saws. He tossed us each three small circles with green buttons. Luckily, I know how to play piano. She said.
And I know how to drum. Arina said.
And I know how to play Guitar. I said.
The screen beeped orange. Well, we ve finally traced the other spies MPComs down. Their at a recording studio in Julian City. Jerry said. He thought. Julian City is right next door, so I think you can take your Spy Mobiles. He tosses us green keys, orange keys and lavender keys. Cool, we re pre-teens, but we re allowed to drive! Alyssa exclaimed when she saw the Spy Mobiles.
The were hover cars in the form of a circle.
They sort ve look like hovering spherical motorcycles. Arina said.
I hooked the Spy Mobile key up to my Gadget Guitar key ring.
Jerry tossed me a green and black plaid helmet. Safety first. He said.
Yeah, I was totally thinking that when I leaped down to a pit of sharks and eels. I said. He sweatdropped.
At least you survived the crushers. Now go. He said, pushing me into my Spy Mobile. I revved it up. Your lucky I don t sue! I yelled over the roars of the engine. He sighed as we sped off into the distance.
This is so cool! Alyssa said into her mini microphone that was hooked up into the helmet. We were halfway to Julian City. You could hear, very faintly, the wind. We were racing across the country side, away from houses and highways. As we passed a group of cows, they gave a What The Chizz face.
Hey, did you find this weird necklace in your gadget pack? I asked into the microphone, holding the green orb necklace. It had black angel wings sticking out the side. The Spy Mobiles were set up in Auto Pilot mode, because we had no idea how to drive.
I heard Alyssa digging her gadget pack, then pulled out a orange orb necklace. It also had black wings. I pulled out my MPCom and dialed Jerry. Hello? He asked.
It s Violet. Do you know what this is? I pulled the necklace into the MPCom s view. That... He paused, then pulled out a small book labeled SPY GADGETS. I linked my MPCom s view up to the others so they could hear. That is the Green Orb of Jasmine. Jasmine was one of the first three spies ever to walk on Earth.
It s said her spirit is trapped inside the orb. If you wear it, you will earn her powers to spy. Her power is Attack. There is also the Orange Orb of Riley, which boots Speed, and the Purple Orb of Iris, which boosts Defense. I m probably guessing Alyssa and Arina have the other two. Wait... There s a little note to the side. It says that the Green Orb of Jasmine give the wearer the ability to control Earth. The Orange Orb of Riley let s the wearer control the ability of Fire, and the Purple Orb of Iris gives the wearer the ability to control Water. He said, slamming the book shut. My best advice is for you girls to put the necklaces on. Ta-ta. He said, and the MPCom switched off. It was 7:00 p.m. and we were nearing Julian City at at least 80 mph.
I slipped the necklace on around my neck and it glowed a bright green color. I clicked a button on the dash and no one could hear me. I thought for a moment. Since no one could here me, and the light was blinding, I decided to say a magical chant or something so I could see. I, Violet, am now the holder of the Green Orb of Jasmine. Jasmine, descend upon me and grant me power! I yelled. The orb flashed, then stopped glowing. I looked over to Alyssa and Arina. They were trying to stop the light. I clicked a button that allowed me to only communicate with Alyssa.
Alyssa, turn of the voice communicator with Arina. She pressed a button. What? She asked, poking the orb.
Repeat after me. Trust me, this works. I, Alyssa I, Alyssa Am now the holder of the Am now the holder of the Orange Orb of Riley. Orange Orb of Riley. Riley, descend upon me Riley, descend upon me And grant me power! And grant me power! The orange glow in Alyssa s vehicle blinked out. Now turn off your communicator with both of us. I said. She pressed a different button.
I turned on the communicator with Arina.
Arina, turn off your communicator with Alyssa. I said. She did it.
Now repeat after me. I, Arina I, Arina Am now the holder of the Am now the holder of the Purple Orb of Iris. Purple Orb of Iris. Iris, descend upon me Iris, descend upon me And grant me power! And grant me power! The glowing faded away from Arina s car. We were about to enter Julian City.
It was fifteen minutes in when I spotted the recording studio down the street. I wanted to make an entrance, so I said, Follow me. I sped up a ramp and crashed through the ceiling of Rob s Recording Studio.
Fwa fwa fizz? Lee said, turning his head to look at the Spy Mobiles that had just made an awesome entrance. I clicked a button and the unbreakable glass sides to the Spy Mobile opened and I hopped out. I took of my helmet and thought it down. I always hated helmet hair. I said, running a hand through my spiky, and now frizzy also, hair. Hiya, Music Man! Alyssa said.
We re here to rock your world! She said.
Wow, nice pun. Arina said sarcastically. The Music Man had a tail coat and a button down shirt on. He had baggy jeans and white sneakers. He also had a black top hat. Ha, so you found me. He laughed.
Dude, it was actually easy. Really easy. I said. He stopped laughing. Oh. He then laughed again, except more eviler than before. I squeezed the key ring. The guitar appeared in my hand.
Aw, chizz. Music Man said. Chizz is ours. Don t steal. Alyssa said, squeezing her piano guitar key ring. Arina brought out her drumsticks. I hooked the S.S.S.S. up to my ear. Ready? I asked everyone. I took out earplugs from my pocket and through them at the bound and gagged spies. They landed tightly into place.
Ready, Vio! Alyssa said. Arina started out on a nice beat. Everytime the drumsticks hit air, they made a small purple circle.
I started out on guitar. I started to sing.
Do you know the enemy?
Do you know your enemy?
Well gotta know the enemy Royal! Then Alyssa started on her piano guitar. The music man was holding his ears. We started to sing the rest of Know Your Enemy by Green Day. Small green, orange, and purple arches were headed at The Music Man at an alarming was swinging in his chair. Megan gave him a look. Fwa? Fit s food! (A/N: He said: What? It s Good!)
When a part came were there was only singing, I threw the Mini Saws at the ropes that bound the other spies. They immediately ripped off the tape. They hesitated, then slapped their hands over their mouths, screaming OW OW OW! I then tossed them the only unused gadget, the Clicky-Clackers. They then started to click them along with the beat. The Music Man fell to the floor, holding his ears and hunched over. We heard loud sounds in the air above us. We all looked up, not stopping a beat. Jerry was leaning out a helicopter. We saw he had earplugs in. Good work, spies! He yelled. A ladder was then dropped down and men and women wearing official looking uniforms and earplugs dropped down. They put handcuffs around his hands. We stopped.
THAT WAS AWESOME! Alyssa yelled.
We went straight to my house and fell asleep at 10:00 on a school night.
May 24, 7:12 a.m., On the way to school The next morning, we were passing the park on our way to school. School wasn t that far away, so we walked. We heard desperate cries from the park. I turned my head and stopped. Kids were staring up a large tree. A teacher was standing there.
I remember her as my kindergarten teacher, I thought.
Hey Miss Joy! I yelled, running over to her. Alyssa and Arina weren t far behind. Oh, hi Violet. I stopped. What s the deal? I asked.
The apple tree hasn t bloomed and it s the middle of spring! A kid said. The weather man said it would probably bloom today! Another kid put in. Sorry Violet. Kids, it s time for lunch! They headed off. Alyssa and Arina could hear the clink clank of the gears in my head that hadn t been used in years.
oops, she s thinking again. Arina said.
As soon as they were over the hill and across the field to the picnicking place, I turned and looked up at the tree.
You could fix it.
A voice in my head that wasn t mine said.
Yeah, like I m Johnny Appleseed. How?
I mean, you have me, Jasmine, controller of Earth!
Ah, now I see what your getting at!
I pressed my hand on the tree s trunk and concentrated.
Alyssa and Arina gasped. I looked up.
All the blossoms had bloomed!
Woo! That was cool! I said.
Told ya.
Thanks.
No prob.
I ran up the hill. MISS JOY, MISS JOY, COME AND LOOK AT THIS! I yelled. The teacher and her students ran across the field and gasped. I ducked behind another tree. I rubbed my Orb and held my other hand s palm face up. Two small bouquets of apple blossoms appeared in my hands. I ran over to Miss Joy.
Here you go! I said, handing her one.
Thank you. She said, smiling.
No prob. I said, taking Jasmine s line.
We headed off to school, the other bouquet in my hand.
I heard that the apple tree in Hero Park just suddenly opened in five seconds flat. Doesn t it take like five minutes? A kid in homeroom said. Wow, news sure does travel fast. Arina said.
I walked up to Miss Paterson and handed her the other bouquet.
Fresh from the tree this morning! I said.
Thank you! She said, placing them in a vase and taking out a few old dead flowers, probably from the store down the street, Flowers for Less. They were cheap, but lasted like a day or two. I took my seat next to Marc.
Hey. I said, digging through my bag.
Hey. He replied.
I think I left my science binder at the course. I mumbled, digging further in. Arina took her seat on the other side of me. I saw her staring at the flowers I made out of thin air this morning. Or, the other thing in the vase. Water. She concentrated on the water. It suddenly bubbled. WHAT THE CHIZZ! She yelled, jumping up. Everyone stared at her. oops. Sorry. She said, sitting back down. I dumped the entire contents of my bookbag on my desk. I shuffled through a few pens and papers and pencils. AHA! I thought as I pulled out my science binder. I probably had a victorious look on my face because Marc said:
What s with your face? Uh... nothing. I said, freezing.
Is that the Green Orb of Jasmine? He asked.
Uh... Yes. I said, still frozen.
They say the ones that hold the three orbs are to become promising spies He said. He thought for a moment.
OMG He said.
I sat the binder down.
You were the one that sped up the apple blossoms! He whispered urgently.
Duh. I said, placing my Art Binder inside my bag. Who do you think did it? Frankenstein? I asked.
No! Frankenstein is fiction! He said.
I rolled my eyes just as Miss Paterson slammed her yardstick on her desk to announce class had begun.
