Author's Note: I'll be switching back and forth with updates on this and Choktoberfest, but tonight I'll update them both. Thanks greatly to Teh-Drabbler, who seems to be my biggest fan. Thanks for all the replies.

Fanny watched from behind the carousel as Hoagie was practically dragged off by his team mates. She sighed, looking down to the ground, when a sudden poke on the shoulder made her jump. She whirled around, expecting the worst, to find Cree standing there, a suspiciously friendly smile on her face.

"Oh…yea' scared me.." Fanny admitted, shaking herself out of it. There were bigger things to deal with now. Did Cree see me with Hoagie? she found herself wondering, frowning. Her plan was to stay with the teens and Father so that she could help Hoagie and the Teens and Kids Next Door defeat them. She had to play her part. "What's the news?"

"Oh, no news.." Cree said, her voice positively dripping with sugar. Beware the smiling crocodile, Fanny recalled the phrase for a moment, but put it out of her mind. Cree pulled a tape recorder out of one pocket, and a tape from the other. "Listen, I know about Hoagie -"

"I..It's not what ya think, I'm jest--"

"It's all right," Cree said soothingly, popping the tape into the player and fast forwarding it a bit.

"Oh," came Wally's voice, "So you were just spying on her!"

Fanny felt her mouth drop open as she stared at the tape. She held out her hand wordlessly, motioning for the recorder. Cree smiled as she handed it to her. Fanny dropped it down and crushed it underfoot, stomping it for good measure. "I can't believe I…I trusted that jerk!"

Cree wrapped an arm around Fanny's shoulder. "I'm sooo sorry," Cree said, feigning sympathy. "But you know what the best thing for it is, right?" Fanny shook her head. "Revenge. Help us, like you originally planned. Play with Hoagie a little while longer, and keep feeding him secrets…but make them fake ones."

Here I go, playing traitor again..Fanny thought sadly. And then, No..not this time. I didn't betray anybody this time. Hoagie lied to me. He betrayed me. And so help me, I'll get back at him for this.

Hoagie sneezed suddenly, and shrugged as the others stared at him. "Heh..maybe someone was talking about me?" He joked.

"This is no time for that sort of thing," Rachel said, slamming her hands down on the desk in front of her. "You gave me the status reports for what you found during the mind tap, now where is the record of the mind tap?"

Hoagie ran a hand through his hair as he tried to think of a viable excuse. None came. Sighing, he kicked his legs out, hitting them against Rachel's desk repeatedly. "I…didn't do the mind tap."

"You WHAT?!" Rachel, Nigel, and Patton's voices all blended together, creating a shriek Hoagie had never quite heard before. It was even worse than when just one of them yelling at him. Patton was glaring. Nigel looked like he was trying to understand. Rachel looked just plain fed up. These were his superior officers, and as such, they were entitled to whatever information Hoagie could give them. At least, according to the rule book they were.

"Hoagie," Rachel said, her voice just barely above a whisper, "If you did not perform a mind tap, where did the information on Father's new plan come from?" She drummed her fingernails against her desk as she waited for a response. Hoagie laughed nervously again. Her gaze intensified, until he felt like he was shrinking under it.

"She told me."

"Err..Hoagie," Nigel said slowly, removing his glasses and cleaning them on his shirt, "I don't know if you noticed, but it's usually not..uh..wise..to.." He gave up on decorum, "WHO TRUSTS THE ENEMY TO GIVE HIM INFORMATION?! ESPECIALLY A DOUBLE CROSSER?!"

"Nigel, that's enough!" Rachel yelled. Nigel shrugged and zipped it. "Now…" Rachel said, turning her focus back to Hoagie. "SHE BETRAYED US! ARE YOU CRAZY? ARE YOU ABSOLUTELY OUT OF YOUR MIND?!"

"She's changed.."

"You're darn right she's changed," Patton chipped in, "She went from being a mean bitch on the side of good to a mean bitch on the side of bad!"

Hoagie was on his feet in a moment. The next thing Rachel or Nigel knew, Patton's nose was bleeding and Hoagie was storming off, muttering under his breath. Rachel kneeled beside Patton, trying to help him stop the bleeding, while Nigel stared after his best friend.

"I've never seen him get that mad before," He commented softly, turning back to Rachel and Patton. "I'm sorry, sirs, but Hoagie's not an idiot….maybe she really has changed…"
