AN: So as usual, I don't own MI High, nor anything you may recognise. I just own Demi, Harry and Jamie.

When we got back to the hotel, we were told to go and get ready for the reception that Mr Flatley had been preparing for for weeks. He had signed me up to sing, and I was absolutely terrified about it. Jamie was ready in moments, and looked at me in my dress and sighed. "Do you want help Dems?" I nodded, and she picked up her hairbrush. "This is going to take a while...

20 minutes later.

I was all ready to go, after much assistance from Jamie. Seriously, it had taken about 15 minutes to sort my hair out! Jamie re-entered the room, smiling, "Ready to go Dems?" I nodded and followed her out the door. Nearly the entire class were waiting for us in the entrance hall of our hotel, all suited up. Almost immediately, I wanted to turn around and go and hide in my room. Everyone looked at least 3 times more attractive than I did. As if it was an impulse, I began to pull at my dress, as if that'd make it any better. "Sod this, I'm going back to my room." I whispered to Jamie, as I went to turn around. "Oh no you don't! C'mon, you look fine." Jamie whispered back and I raised an eyebrow. Looking down, I saw Dan notice me and whisper something to Tom, who looked up at me and smiled after hitting Dan lightly on the arm. I smiled back, and walked over to the four of them. Zoe handed me an earpiece, and I slid it into my ear in time to hear my father say, "Are you all ready?" We all replied, and Stella said, "If something goes wrong, you're on your own. Good luck agents." I nodded, and looked up as Mr McNab called,

"Come on Students, let's go or else we'll be late." Jamie rolled her eyes and muttered,
"Yeah for your non-existant date with your 'girlfriend'." I laughed quietly, as it turned out McNab had better hearing than we'd hoped.
"You'd better stay silent young lady!" He said, looking at Jamie. She raised her hands in mock surrender and we began the short walk to the where our gala was going to be held. I kept at the back with Tom and Dan. Zoe turned and handed something to Dan, which caused him to smirk and speed up so he was walking with Zoe. I raised my eyebrow in confusion, before Tom's voice made me turn to face him. "Hi Demi." I smiled at him and replied, "Hello Tom." He smiled back and muttered quietly so that only I could hear,
"You look very pretty in that dress. It suits you." I felt my cheeks begin to heat up, and I clutched my cheeks afraid to let anyone see I was blushing. "Thank you. You don't look so bad yourself." I whispered.
"There's something I've been meaning to ask you actually. I mean, I..." But Tom didn't get to ask his question as my dad interrupted over our earpieces, causing him to sigh loudly. "You'll be attending a reception at the Ministry of Culture. Unbeknownst to the staff at the ministry, It houses the entrance to the headquarters of the Boldovian Secret Service. It is literally a front for SNARL." I looked to our left to see a huge building, which I guessed was the ministry. Didn't look like it home to SNARL, as it was just a plain brick building, but I guess that was just the point. The class entered and we were informed that we were going to be scanned for weapons, or anything metallic. One by one we went through a scanner and were searched with a rod, and if it went off, we had to show security what it was we had. I was one of the first through, and of course it beeped. I went off to the side and handed the guard my phone and locket. After not discovering any drugs or bombs, he handed them back to me and I headed into the hall to wait for my team. Whilst waiting, I opened my locket and looked at my mother's photograph. I often wondered what happened to her. Would she be proud of me for going into spying? Or would she hate it and want to protect me? Or would she not care? "Who's that?" A calm voice said, causing me to leave my thinking. Tom and Aneisha were stood staring at the photograph in my locket.
"No one important. C'mon, let's go and kick some butt." I said, clasping my locket shut. Aneisha brightened up and walked over to the centre of the room to wait for Dan and Zoe. Tom however seemed doubtful but walked over the middle of the room with me regardless. Two minutes later, Dan and Zoe walked over. Before we could get into serious discussion about the mission, Melissa came over. "Dan, Zoe, you're on at 6."
"You'll be in trouble if you're late." Tom said, and I smiled, before Melissa continued,
"Tom and Demi, you're on 10 minutes after that." Then she walked off clutching her clipboard, presumably to ruin someone else's evening. Oh god. I had hoped she'd forget about that. "Dems?"
"Earth calling Demietra!" I turned around to face Aneisha and Tom and said,
"What?"
"Are You Ok? You've got pale." I nodded and looked down to see Tom had been clutching my hand, apparently, nearly this whole time. As Dan followed my gaze, he smirked at Zoe, and then at Tom, who turned bright red and let go. We were then joined by Janus, who seemed as on edge as ever. "Alright Janus, how's it going?" Tom asked, as Janus frowned,
"Not good. I've just been informed by my mole that Olga Backovabus is the SNARL agent."
"Now there's a surprise." I remarked, causing Dan to laugh.
"I knew there was something fishy about her." Tom commented, causing Aneisha to look at him with confusion.
"We just have to be extra careful." Dan calmly said.
"Go to the library, look for this book." Janus said, handing a piece of blue paper to Dan and Zoe. "Inside is a hand scanner, which will open a secret doorway to SNARL."
"And how do we operate the hand scanner?" Zoe asked.
"Leave that to me." Janus commented before going off, shaking hands with Olga, and then returned to us, taking off a glove and handing it to Zoe.
"Bio-metricular vacimilar? Good idea Janus. When you put the glove on the scanner, it'll think you are Olga." Tom said, no longer smiling.
"Zoe and I will go in as planned, Neish, you keep our tour guide occupied, Dems, you make sure that the comms between the 7 of us stay working and keep an eye on surveillance. Tom, tactical backup, You're the eyes and ears of this op." Dan said.
"And the brains!" Tom said, causing me to smile.
"Olga's gonna pick up the Aardvark in 45 minutes." Aneisha said.
"Work is up and running." Tom said, starting the clock.
"Guess it's game on." I muttered. It was our time to shine.

AN: And I'm going to end it there! Hope you enjoyed!
