Diana followed Martin and Java with her eyes all a glow as the walked through the Groove to Chez Le Beautiful.

"I can't believe it!" Diana beamed. "I'm actually here in Beverly Hills! This place is the fashion and shopping capital!"

"Someone's in girl mode." Martin muttered to Java.

"Martin, Diana-look!" Java said pointing to the sky. 4 colored dots landed ahead of them, not seeing the Center agents. They were 4 girls with heart shaped jetpacks.

"Okay, Spies. We're at the Groove-now what?" The one in red asked as the yellow one saw a store with a sign in the window.

"Oooh! 65 percent off!" She squealed with delight. The one in green caught her by the silver belt around her waist.

"No shopping, Alex." The green one told the yellow. "We're on a mission for WOOHP."

The one in purple seemed to be the youngest and the shortest of the group. She was quiet as she looked at Chez Le Beautiful. She calmly walked over and touched the ground in front of the door.

"It's out of place…" She murmured. The red noticed her by the door.

"What's got your little genius IQ all a buzz?" The red asked as the purple girl rubbed something between her gloved forefingers. "Earth to Hotaru. Earth to Hotaru. Do you copy, Hotaru?"

"Clover, get me my Com Powder out of my Jet Pack backpack." The red obeyed and put a compact in the purple-Hotaru's hand. Hotaru opened it and sprinkled something on a scanner. A light came from the scanner and must've given her a result she didn't like. "This is not good. Not good at all."

"What is it, Hotaru?" The green one asked coming over with Alex the yellow.

"Moon dust." Hotaru replied. "Moon dust from our moon, Sam. Nothing good comes when Moon dust is around."

"I thought that was ectoplasm." Martin said, not thinking. The 3 of the 4 girls squeaked in alarm but Hotaru pulled out a nail file and pointed it at them.

"What's that going to do?" Diana asked not feeling threatened. Hotaru barely moved her hand and pressed a tiny button on the handle. A pale blue laser beam hit a barrette out of Diana's hair with perfect skill. The barrette flew up and landed at Diana's feet. The trio put up their hands in surrender.

"Whoa. Hotaru, how'd you do that?" Sam asked in awe.

"Little sis got game!" Alex cheered. Hotaru saw something on Martin's wrist and lowered her laser nail file.

"No way!" Hotaru hurried over to him and swiped the U Watch off his wrist.

"Hey! That's mine!" Martin protested.

"I can't believe this! Utility Watch model 2207 with version 3166 programming, 6135 display, 7793 materialization, updated 5001 Legendex and 9200 optimal compacity!" Hotaru said excitedly. "Design model 8894 with the 1009 DNA identification system! This is…"

"Cool ain't it?" Martin beamed.

"This is the same one I have back home. I got 5 months before I came to America." Hotaru replied, finishing her sentence. She inspected it then took off her purple glove and put it on. She pressed a few numbers and brought up a roster.

"I didn't know the U Watch could do that." Diana admitted softly. Martin and Java just gaped at her.

" 'Martin Mystery, Diana Lumbar and Java the Caveman.' " She read off. She exited out of it and handed it back to Martin. "It's okay, Spies. They're from the Center. Mother must've sent them. These 3 are her best agents."

"How did you rattle all that information off like that?" Martin asked her as he put the U Watch back on. "The only one who could ever do that was Mom…" Martin looked Hotaru in the eye then snapped his fingers. "Wait a sec, I know you. You're that girl in the picture Billy was reframing for Mom! You're a little older but you're the just about the same. Your hair's longer and you're a little taller but other than that you look about the same."

Hotaru smiled. "I'm surprised Mother would send you three here. This is a WOOHP investigation."

"There's been reports of paranormal activity in this area." Diana told the girls, trying to put her barrette back in her hair.

"So, Hotaru, what is that thing?" Martin asked pointing at the nail file. "It looks like a nail file but it's a laser."

Sam laughed. "It's the Laser Nail File. One of our most used gadgets from WOOHP. Since we're still in high school, our gadgets look like normal things a high end Bev Hills girl carry around in her bag."

Hotaru dropped it into her bag and rummaged around inside of it for a few minutes looking for something. She walked back over to the door of Chez Le Beautiful.

"Have you guys used the glass cutter ruby pendent yet?" Hotaru asked, looking in her bag. "I'm looking for it but I'm only finding my diamond pendent analyzer."

"Yeah, it should be in there." Clover told her as she went over to help Hotaru. "It should look like a flower with a topaz center and emerald leaf. It's on a silver chain so it's probably tangled around the Mini Rocket Launcher Hair brush."

"Oh, here it is!" Hotaru pulled out a cute flower necklace. "Now we have to get inside and find those girls."

Placing the charm against the glass, Hotaru pressed the center and the leaf extended on a tiny pole and carved a circle into the glass. She pulled on the charm and it and the circle of glass came away from the door. Setting them down beside her, Hotaru connected her Diamond Pendent Analyzer to her Com Powder and held the pendent inside the parlor.

"So, what's the haps on the inside, Little Sis?" Alex asked as Hotaru read the Japanese symbols on the screen.

"According to the readings, there's not security system, intergalactic or not." The girl sighed, retracting her hand and pendent. "It has got to be a trap. No one's stupid enough to leave moon dust outside the door and not have any security on." Hotaru closed her eyes and stood. "Yes, I sense a trap. And we'll walk into it with our weapons at the ready."
