The Planeteers had not wasted any time once they were summoned by Gaia- except for Wheeler who trudged along pouting about his interrupted party plans.

"What's the emergency, Gaia?" Kwame asked as soon as all the Planeteers were assembled in the Crystal Chamber.

"Someone has been robbing Egyptian tombs of priceless artifacts and selling them to so called 'collectors' on the black market." Gaia answered seriously. The viewing screen flashed images of wealthy businessmen exchanging money for Egyptian treasures.

"That's terrible!" Gi exclaimed.

"Yes, those artifacts are an important part of history. They belong to the world. They should be in a museum," Ma-ti said angrily.

"You don't suppose this has anything to do with the mummy sightings where they are filming that movie?" Wheeler asked.

"I think it has everything to do with it," Linka said. "After all, Robin Plunder is involved."

"I'm going to need you kids to go to Egypt and check this out," Gaia said.

Wheeler sighed, his shoulders slumping. "So much for my Halloween party."

"Maybe we'll get to see some real life mummies. That would make for a pretty good Halloween," Kwame said, attempting to be encouraging.

"Yeah…" Wheeler said, not sounding very consoled "But I won't get to see Linka's costume."


Bambi Blight sat in her dressing room studying her script for Night of the Mummy when she was interrupted by a knock at her door.

"Come in," she said.

Robin Plunder walked into her room. "How're you doing, Bambi?" he asked.

"I'm okay. I'm still upset though. Can you believe the nerve of that reporter?" She was still fuming about being hassled by the reporter from Entertainment News Tonight.

"I told you not to do that interview." Robin Plunder said matter-of-factly. "All they do is try to dig up dirt on celebrities to boost their ratings."

Bambi flashed him a look that said "I told you so" was not what she wanted to hear. She turned her attention back to the script that she had been studying.

After a few moments of silence Bambi asked cautiously, "You really don't have anything to do with this do you, Robin?"

"Bambi!" Robin sounded more hurt than angry.

"I'm sorry," Bambi said. "It's just…"

"Just that once you make one mistake, you're marked for life," Robin said bitterly. "I'm not crazy like my uncle! I don't go around killing whales or dumping toxic waste into the ocean. I was just trying to get some publicity for my movie."

"I know," Bambi said. "I believe you. I just wish I knew who was behind this."

Robin folded his arms across his chest as if he were thinking. "Well the last time strange things happened on one of your movie sets it was your crazy sister, right?"

"Babs?" Bambi asked incredulously. "Well, I wouldn't put it past her."

"Speaking of your sister," Robin said curiously, "are she and my uncle Looten… you know… together?"

Bambi shrugged. "I don't know. Every time I ask her about it she yells at me for ten minutes and then doesn't talk to me for a few months.

Robin nodded. "That's weird. My uncle does the same thing."

As they were talking there was another knock at the door. It was the director. "Did you guys hear there has been another mummy sighting?" he asked, sounding somewhat accusatory.

Robin glared at the director. "What happened this time?"

"You mean you don't already know?" The director sneered.

"What are you trying to say?" Robin was starting to sound angry.

"I'm saying that I never thought it was a good idea to have you as producer of this movie in the first place!" The director snapped.

"Guys, calm down!" Bambi yelled. "Robin has nothing to do with this, I promise you."

"You know," Robin said, his voice tense, "I'm getting tired of these accusations. I'm going to go and find out what's behind this nonsense so you people will leave me alone!" He stormed out of the dressing room, trailed by the director who was still ranting.

Bambi sighed and settled down in her chair, focusing once again on her script. However a few minutes later she was interrupted yet again. "I'm never going to get this scene down," she muttered angrily.

She took a deep breath and calmed herself before calling sweetly, "Come in."

She was quite surprised when she was the Planeteers standing at her door. "Hey guys!" she said enthusiastically.

"Hey Bambi!" Wheeler responded just as enthusiastically. Linka rolled her eyes and folded her arms across her chest, shaking her head.

"What brings you here?" Bambi asked.

"It's about the mummy sightings that have been happening around here," Kwame answered.

Bambi's look suddenly was not as friendly. "Why does everyone want to talk about that?"

"We think it might have something to with some Egyptian artifacts that are being sold on the black market," Ma-ti clarified.

"That's terrible," Bambi said. "You really think they're related?"

"Well it would be quite a coincidence if they are not," Gi said.

"And quite a coincidence that Robin Plunder is involved," Linka added.

Bambi looked very angry now. "He has nothing to do with this! Can't a person make one mistake?" She sounded very defensive.

The Planeteers all looked at her strangely. Why would she be so upset about them accusing Robin?

Suddenly Bambi's expression changed from anger to concern. "Robin just left a few minutes ago to try to figure out what's going on. You don't think he could be in any danger, do you?"

"You know, you seem really worried about him." Wheeler said.

Bambi smiled, looking somewhat embarrassed. "Well, um, we're sort of… dating."

Wheeler's eyes grew wide. "You and that creep! Boy, some guys have all the luck!" Now both Linka and Bambi were glaring at him. "I've really gotta think about what I say," Wheeler muttered, looking as if he were trying desperately to make himself invisible.

Bambi shook her head in exasperation. "So are you guys gonna help me look for him or am I going to have to go on my own?"

"We'll help you," Kwame said graciously. "But we better hurry up, it's getting dark."
