Here's the second chapter! Read and review!
I don't own MI High.

Rose sat at her table, munching on some pasta as she wrestled with the problem in front of her. Apparently it was something for the new project Poppy and her team were running about pre-Christian Druidic settlements. She allowed herself a moment to remember the MI High mission when an archaeologist had tauntingly asked her if she was an expert in it, and her shock when Rose had agreed that she was. Never underestimate Rose Gupta, she thought to herself, turning back to the stack of paper in front of her. Right, so if Druid Beezel discovered that... she slipped back into the familiar work, paying little attention to the people around her. She didn't even look up when an agent asked her if he could sit next to her, absentmindedly nodding. But then she looked up sharply, to see someone she had thought to be in America smiling humorously at her.

"Hey there, Rosie," Oscar grinned. She smiled widely.

"Oscar! You're back early, aren't you? You've only been gone a week."

"Well, it was an easy mission," Oscar chuckled. "Carrie loved it, she got to karate-chop a load of bad guys." He reached out and linked his hand with Rose's. "Anyway, what's all this about? Couldn't come back too soon if every time I go away my girlfriend starts working through lunch!" Rose giggled when he called her his girlfriend. "Seriously, Rosie, you need to stop sometimes," he stressed.

"But I do," Rose teased, squeezing his hand. "At night." Oscar rolled his eyes and stole some of Rose's pasta.

"So, how many times have you saved the world already today?" he asked. Rose laughed as he brought back the memory of their last few minutes at MI High.

"Only once," she said.

"Only once! Rosie, you need to work harder," Oscar chuckled, stealing more pasta. Rose batted his hand away.

"Go and get your own food, greedy." Then she checked her watch. "Oh no, I'm going to be late. I'll see you outside at 5?" she emphasized it like a question, and Oscar nodded, before letting go of her hand and standing up with her. "See you then," she called over her shoulder as she made her way out of the cafeteria.

Stella pushed open the door to the lab to see Rose bent over one of the tables. she cleared her throat to announce her presence. "Hey Stella," Rose mumbled, not looking up from the table. Very few people could get away with addressing Stella like that, but she let it slide.

"Bad time, Rose?" she asked. Just as she finished the question a large cloud of violently purple vapour issued from one of the experiments on the table in font of Rose.

"Nope, I'm done," Rose smiled, examining the result of the purple reaction. "Mission?"

Stella smiled. "Not exactly. How long will you be?"

"No time at all," Rose said, shrugging off her white lab coat and goggles. "In fact I can come right now."

"Good, follow me."

Stella pushed the door to the Control Room open and Rose gasped. "Frank!"

"Hello Rose," her old MI High supervisor smiled. "Someone grew up."

"What did you expect, that I'd stay the size of an 8 year old forever? Course I grew," Rose teased. "Why are you here? Wait...this is something to do with a new MI High team, isn't it!"

"Well done," Stella smiled at Frank. "It's good to see you, Frank." Then she turned to Rose. "As you've guessed, we're setting up a new MI High team. Not at St Hopes, but at a new school that has recently been re-names St Hearts. Mr Flately is still the headmaster and Frank has gone undercover as the caretaker again. But we were wondering if you would be up for going with him to scout for potential agents?" Rose smiled widely.

"I'd love to! When?"

"Well...how about right now?" Rose nodded enthusiastically. "Right, cover. You are going to visit Mr Flately. Just say that you were nearby and thought why not. Ask to have a look around the new school, keep your eyes open." Rose nodded again. "Let's go then! Oh, tell Oscar that you'll be a late for being outside at 5. We'll probably be back by around 6." Rolling her eyes at one downside of working with spies - everyone knowing everything about everyone - Rose quickly pulled out her phone.
