First thing the next morning, Aria & Thatch were waiting for the Clarks at WOOHP. Instead of Jerry, however, they were met with an old woman.

"Who's this?" Lee wondered.

"Miss Antanasia." Thatch answered. "Jerry said she had some information on where to find the twins."

Marc looked at the woman. "How do you know the twins in the first place?"

"That's fairly easy." Antanasia answered with a thick, implacable Romanian accent. "I'm their grandmother. I brought them here when their parents were killed. I never really expected them to have been trained to break into WOOHP before the legal age."

"Trained to what?" Megan gasped.

"Break into WOOHP." Antanasia repeated. "That's how my son & his wife got accepted. Of course, back them they were only family friends."

The Clarks nodded. "Uh, so, where do you think they are?" Lee wondered.

"A cabin in the center of the woods nearby." Antanasia explained. "They tend to visit there a lot of the time."

"Great." Marc said, trying hard not to think about his talk with Griffon. "We'll check it out."

"We're going, too." Thatch told them.

Tony shrugged. "More the merrier. You coming too, Ari?"

Aria blushed. "Sure, guess it won't hurt."

"Be careful." Antanasia warned.

Aria cracked her knuckles, smirking while Thatch winced at the action. "Don't you worry, Anti. We've dealt with the twins on more than one occasion."

When the group reached the cabin & pushed in open, there were two girls sitting in the dark. One had glowing green eyes & the other's eyes were blue.

Thatch rubbed his eyes. "Griffon? Kari?"

"No." The two replied, standing up. "We are Emerald & Sapphire. But, so happy you could come. You made our job so much easier."

"What are you doing?" Aria asked, stepping forward & flipping on a light. "Griffon, Kari, snap out of it."

"What are you doing to the twins?" Megan wondered.

Griffon, whose eyes were now glowing green, smiled. "The bad twins are the yin."

"And the good twins are the yang." Kari continued with glowing blue eyes.

"Separate them." They said together.

Griffon motioned to herself. "And the yin is lost without the yang."

"And the yang is defenseless without the yin." Kari cut off her sister.

"They become dependant on one another. It isn't true for all twins, but most of them work that way - what with their special bond." The two concluded together. "Such is the boss-man's word."

"The boss-man?" Tony asked.

The twins turned & walked down the hallway before disappearing through the door at the end. The spies followed, only to find the room empty. The spies turn to leave, as Marc exited last, he noticed a small device on the wall behind the door. He reached for it. The door slammed closed in front of him. Marc grabbed the handle, but the door wouldn't budge.

"You were too late." Griffon's sad voice rang. "We couldn't give you enough time. I'm so sorry!"

Marc spun around & gasped as he faced the Moore sisters again. "How did you-"

There was a flash of light & smoke as another figure popped out of seemingly nowhere. A hand dropped onto the girls' shoulders, making them flinch. "Very good, girls. Very good indeed." The hooded figure hissed.

Marc felt his eyelids drooping. Of course, the smoke was doing it to him. He backed against the door & felt & heard pounding & yelling from the other side. But, as the gas continued to take effect, the yelling grew distant & the three figures in front of him grew blurry until he was completely unconscious.

"Hurry up & get him to the warehouse. We can't waste time." The hooded figure ordered.

"Grandpa, how come you're doing this? I mean, I know everyone has agreed to it, & Flannery & Aquanette agreed only because they were forced to last time, but do we really have to do this to them?" Griffon asked, lifting Marc up & over her shoulder.

"Well, I think it's fun." Kari exclaimed. She pressed the device on the door. "Now. We need out."

Aria & Thatch pulled the Clarks away from the door. "It's no use." Aria sighed. "We'll get to the bottom of this though." She reached out & tried the handle one more time, secretly pressing a button on the middle of the knob.

"This we swear." Thatch called, turning attention away from Aria so that she could activate the switch. "We're some of the best, of course we'll do it."

The three siblings sighed & headed outside. Aria grabbed Thatch's arm, forcing him to fall a little behind. "Dude, I know I'm going to sound extremely Tweek-ish, but… This is way too much pressure!"

"Shh!" Thatch warned. "You have got to stop watching South Park."

Aria shook her head. "If I can't watch S.P. then I know I'll end up blurting everything to them. I can't ruin the plan, we have to make sure everything goes as planned."

"This has you really stressed." Thatch commented.

"I can't help it. I always turn to Zach or Tweek whenever I get stressed. Zach helps & Tweek makes me laugh so much I totally forget for the time being." Aria hissed, growing more panicked by the second. "If I don't confess soon, I'll explode…That happens to me sometimes."

Thatch sighed & tossed an arm over Aria's shoulders, pulling her close to him. "If anyone asks, we're worried about the missing agents."

Aria nodded & sank into his hold. "Thanks. Sometimes you really can be as sweet as my Zachary."

Thatch blushed & looked down at the ground, but felt himself chuckling. "You really think that?"

Aria smiled a large, goofy smile. "Nope, but I like seeing you blush. It's almost as cute as a… puppy."

Thatch groaned & felt his face heat up even more. "Damn it, Aria. Stop it."

Aria giggled & pushed away. "Hey, I feel better now. But I still need my daily dosage of South Parkian delight."

"You made that up? All on your own?" Thatch asked. Aria nodded. "Impressive."

Aria yawned & patted her mouth. "I wanna go back to bed. Sleeping at a desk makes for a very restless sleep."

Her friend nodded & stretched his arms, emitting a yawn as well. "Agreed. Let's split."

Aria pulled out her MPCom & started playing. "Okay, we're here…" She began typing something into the device. "And we need to get here…Okay, off we go!"

With the push of a button, the two zipped through WOOHP's tunnel system until landing inside a warehouse. Kids were hustling & bustling, but Aria & Thatch each walked into a separate room. Aria sat on the bed, flicked on the TV & pulled a blanket over her shoulders. Thatch dove under his blankets & shut his eyes tightly.

Everything was hectic. Of course it was. With everything that was going on, & how badly Aria was at keeping secrets, it was a surprise the Clarks had no clue as to what was going on.

But, everything was going as planned. Antanasia led them to the cabin, Abby, Brier, Garth & Zach were 'missing.' Ally, Jesse, Thatch & Zarah were 'distraught.' The Tuskinos seemed to be more entertained by the idea than the others, saying it was a delightful & exciting 'change of pace.'

Thatch was disgusted by the idea. He wasn't made for this silly role-play. Even worse, plotting against some of their own. It made him sick to his stomach.

Aria on the other hand, couldn't be happier with the arrangement, even if she didn't enjoy keeping secrets. Her mind was elsewhere at the time. Her attention drawn to the television as she watched her favourite cartoon: South Park. The only thing that distracted her was when she heard a familiar tone.

'Love and Marriage
Love and Marriage'

Aria quickly grabbed the phone & flicked it open. "Zach!"

"Uh, hi." The boy replied meekly.

"What the hell do you think you're doing? I know we don't have to be in full action mode like when we did this in Bev Hills, but you can't call me. You're supposed to be missing! And now that we have Marc, these kids are no joke."

"Sorry Ari." Zach said. "But everyone down here is getting impatient. Boss-man says the spies have to get to the warehouse tomorrow."

Aria bit her bottom lip & thought. "We'll see what we can do."

"Alright. Bye babe." Zach called gently.

The girl smiled. "Bye, Zach."

Snapping the phone shut, she glared at it. "God dammit! You can't go risking the whole operation." She scolded quietly.

After finishing her episode of South Park, she got up & trudged over to Thatch's room. Seeing that he was asleep, she turned away from the bed before jumping backwards, successfully sitting on his stomach.

"What!" Thatch groaned.

"Change of plans." Aria began. "How can we get the spies here by tomorrow?"

Thatch tried in vain to shove the noirette off of him. "MPComs have trackers, don't they? Isn't that how Jerry finds them when they send distress calls."

Aria thought about it. "Never really thought about it actually."

"You can't be serious." Thatch asked.

Aria looked down at the boy. "Believe it."

Thatch pushed again, this time successfully knocking Aria to the ground. "Are you sure you're not really a blonde?"

"Hey!" Aria yelled. "You know I'd never poison myself with hair dye. It only makes it fall out."

"Joking, joking!" Thatch cried. "So, we'll just say that we found a way to track their MPComs & lead them here. They won't suspect a thing & we'll be able to get them right where we want and need them."

Aria thought about it & stood up. "I guess that could work. But how do we know that my mouth won't start moving on it's own."

"The 'minions' can silence you. That way the operation will stay safe." Thatch winked & sat up in his bed. "Not like they don't do it every other time this is done."

"Good point." Aria rubbed her wrists. "But I always get rope burn whenever we do that."

Thatch sighed & hung his head. "Aria…Just let me go to sleep."

"You're right. I need to discuss this with the boss-man." Aria strode out of the room & closed the door behind her.

Thatch flopped back down on the bed & sighed in relief, staring into the darkness. "Thank god that blabbermouth is out of my room."

There will (NOT) be a reward for anyone who can figure out what their plan is, who the 'boss-man' is, or whether their on the side of good or evil.

This is based on an episode of Totally Spies, if you wanna go through the episode guide to cheat your way to victory. You must confess if you do.
