Chapter 1

Chief Littlewood paced around in his office waiting for the call from Inspector Price who was now officially on assignment. She was to head to a specific hotel under the alias of Miss Taylor, check in and use the hotel room as a base for the ongoing investigations. WOMP US branch had decided to for a coilition with WOMP UK, as the heinous Dr Claw had been found to be having dealings over in the country, even whispers of possible arms deals and as such, Littlewood had placed Prince on the case. She had recently been promoted to Inspector and was eager to prove herself, so he felt it would be perfect. Plus, it would prive she was OK with working as a team, as the visiting Inspector from WOMP US was also bringing two assistants with him.

Finally, the comm link opened and Littlewood pressed the botton on his desk to switch it to loud speaker. "Prince? Is that you? Are you in position?"

A female voice chimed in across the speakers. "I'm at the hotel, all checked in."

"Are agent Data and Scooter also with you?"

"Yes, they are here. Data is currently unpacking all my things so I will be able to start my report as soon as I meet up with the US Inspector." She cleared her throat. "It shouldn't be too long. The flight is due in soon and the hotel is only a stones throw away from the airport."

"Good. Let me know as soon as you meet up and brief each other." Littlewood closed the link and sat down roughly in his large teal office chair. From reputation alone, he knew she was going to have her work cut out for her.

It had been a long flight. First the security guard, then the malfunction on the plane... Gadget was glad to be on solid ground again. "All right. This way to the hotel. Once we get situated i will be meeting with the Inspector." Gadget smiled as he grabbed his bag and began the descent to the hotel.

Once they arrived, they walked up to the front desk. "Inspector Gadget and company checking in." he stated as the receptionist looked up at him, a bored expression on her face as she looked up the reservation.

"Just sign here." she said and Gadget happily did so with his pen finger. As it clicked back to normal, the woman handed him a key. "Room three. All the way down to the left." she stated and gadget thanked her as they made their way down the hall.

Prince was pacing. It had been a while and there had been no sign of the other inspector. Scooter had made herself comfortable on the window ledge and was lazily watching the goings on outside the hotel, while Data attempted to try and calm Prince down by getting her to stop by attaching herself to her legs. "Don't worry! They'll be here!"

"I know, it's just that I know if it gets any later Chief will be worried and then he'll probably contact me thinking I'm in trouble and send back up since I know he won't believe any story I tell him and..."

"Whuup. Looks like we got company." Scooter's southern drawl suddenly filled Prince's ears and she looked over to the cherry red bot at the window. "An inspector and assistants, right?"

Data hugged her legs tighter and smiled up into her face. "See, I told you!"

Prince nodded and waited to hear them moving up the hall. Once she was certain they'd entered the room she gave them a few moments to settle before exiting her room and going in to introduce herself. She knocked on the door and waited, scratching at her red knitted beanie hat that was still atop her head.

Once Gadget, Penny and the Gadgetinis were in their room, Gadget smiled. "See? So nice. Cozy." He grinned as he walked over and nearly tripped onto the bed.

"But Uncle Gadget there is only one bed. Where am I supposed to sleep?" Penny asked as she looked around the rather spacious room. That was when she noticed the couch. "Great..." She grumbled as she walked over to sit down. It was actually quite comfy.

Gadget was about to speak when there was a knock on the door. "Digit, would you please get that?" gadget asked as he stood.

Digit sighed. He had better things he could be doing, but if Gadget wanted the door answering, he would do it. He waddled over and opened it, only to be subjected to an ear-shattering squeal, lifted in mid-air by an unknown assailant and danced into the room as if he was a teddy bear.

"OH MY GOSH, YOU ARE ADORABLE!" Prince let him down to his feet and beamed at him, then over to Fisget who was watching in shock. Shock and mild terror. It was so sudden. What if she'd been a MAD agent? They were slipping. "Aren't you guys just the cutest things!?"

Digit coughed into a hand which earned him a slight grin from Fidget. He would probably tease him about it later, but for that moment he was more interested who this strange purple haired, beanie hat wearing person was. "Uh," Digit shuffled awkwardly, "I take it... You are..."

"Inspector Prince." It was then she noticed Gadget and saluted. "At your service."

Gadget smiled as she introduced herself. "At ease, inspector! It is nice to finally meet you. This is Digit." He motioned to the bue bot she had just hugged, "Fidget," he motioned to Fidget "And my niece Penny!" Finally he motioned towards Penny "And I am Inspector Gadget." He reached out to shake the inspector's hand. Prince waved over at both the Gadgetinis as if she hadn't burst in and hugged the ever loving crap out of Digit, then waved to Penny before reaching out to take Gadget's hand to shake. She was beautiful, he couldnt deny... But he couldnt let his guard down! He had a mission to complete after all. "So what is our mission here? Would you care to share your information?"

"The mission? Ah yes, sorry. Your friends here had me totally distracted." She made a kissy face at them, before straightening up properly and removing her hat. She could relax now they had arrived. Digit felt as though his brain was working over time as Prince sent kisses their way. "The chief didn't give you any details? I'm surprised."

"Well, uh, actually I didnt get to speak with my chief. Uh... All that was mentioned is there is possible MAD activity here in the UK." He shrugged as he watched the female inspector.

"Huh. Naughty forgetful Chief. Maybe he's getting old." She laughed a little and ran a hand through her purple hair. It was then she suddenly remembered that she hadn't even introduced her own Gadgetinis to the group and yelled at the top of her lungs. Had any other guests been sleeping, they would have been wide awake for sure. "DATA, SCOOTER!"

Suddenly, two other Gadgetinis poked around the door. One was a deep cherry red with a red face and seemed to be wearing a metallic copy of Prince's beanie hat, the other was a lighter cherry red with a pink face and wasn't wearing a hat at all, sporting her purple metal 'hair' clearly. "Folks, this is Data and Scooter. They are my Gadgetinis."

Gadget nearly flinched at her outburst. As two minis poked their heads around, he raised a brow in curiosity.

Penny's jaw hit the floor. "Wh... What!? But... How!? I made Digit and Fidget, I... What!?"

Prince let out another chuckle. "The Gadgetini programme? Surely you have heard of it? Your designs were so well done they implemented them. I'm testing it out in the field over here. Perhaps in the future, all law enforcers will have their own if all goes well."

Penny was awe-struck. How had her designs been so well-received? How did she not even know about it? Surely she should be angry, but for some reason she wasn't. She felt oddly proud. Digit, on the other hand, was not proud. In fact, he regarded the two other bots with great caution. He frowned over at them both, something which had not gone unnoticed by Scooter. "'Sup with you, Blueberry?"

Digit rumbled with anger. "I am NOT a blueberry."

Scooter just stayed silent and smirked at him. That was easy.

"Well... As for the case, I think it can wait. You guys must be tired after your long journey after all. Why not get some sleep and we can discuss it in the morning?" Prince stretched. It was getting late.

Penny raised a brow in thought. "But, isn't it urgent?"

"Oh, no. It is urgent, but running on fumes isn't a good idea."

"Inspector Prince is right. We should all get some sleep. We will be better on our game if we all have a decent night's sleep." he stated with a goofy smile as he watched Prince interact with the Gadgetinis. "Tomorrow we will regroup and we will get on the same page and work this mission." He put a finger up matter of factly to emphasise his point.

Penny furrowed her brow at her uncle and watched as Prince nodded and guided her two bots out of the room. She gave everyone a quick wink and a wave and made her way back to her own room for the night.

Digit grumbled. "I don't like those two Gadgetinis."

Fidget smiled. "I don't mind them. They seem nice. Maybe the red one has some manners issues, but..."

"I don't like them, I said!" Digit stomped off towards the couch Penny would be sleeping on and slumped against the wall ready to shut down, while Fidget just shrugged and followed suit.

Penny slowly settled on the couch, her mind racing about what she had just learned.

Prince sat on her bed ready to go to sleep and had made contact with her chief. "Yes... Yes, all is well. We have decided to go ahead with the briefing tomorrow when we have all had some sleep. Yes. Oh, yes sir. No, that shouldn't be a problem."

The next morning Gadget awoke with a stretch, feeling rather refreshed. He got up and grabbed his clothes and headed for the small restroom. As he closed the door, we went to walk towards the vanity, but was held back. He looked back to see his robe stuck in the door. He mumbled as he pulled at the offending article. It wouldnt budge so he pulled a little harder. And a littler harder... Until it finally let loose and he went tumbling into the towerl rack, causing towels and toilet paper to go flying everywhere.

Penny was awoken from the commotion and walked over to knock on the door. "Uncle? You okay?" she asked, mildly concerned.

"Oh yes, d-dont worry about me! Just tripped!" he said as he went to grab the handle to a towel hanger and it broke from his weight and he went crashing back down. "Oh phooey." he mumbled as his hand went from his hat to pull the towel off his head.

Prince was already awake and writing up the start of her report. She had to detail her meeting with the visiting Inspector, so she felt that while she waited for them to all wake up she would get it done. They would need to head down for breakfast and get on with the briefing, as well as head out to start their assignments, so she would probably have no time to do it until much later than night. Suddenly, she heard a crash. Despite still being in her nightwear, she hopped out of bed and dashed out to the hallway, Data and Scooter following. It was from Gadget's room alright, as another loud was heard. She wasted no time in barging in. It could have been a MAD agent, after all. "Is everything OK?"

Penny jumped about a foot in the air as their door was slammed open. Fidget and Digit immediately came on line as they readied for a fight, but was not expecting to see the female Inspector... In her sleepwear. If you could call it that.

As Gadget heard the commotion, he stumbled for the door and ripped it open with his extending arm as he pulled himself back together. "What- what is happening out here?" he asked in a panic. His robe was open, revealing his vest and striped blue boxers. As soon as he saw Inspector Prince his eyes widened and his face turned red."Oh! Inspector!" he yelled as he hurriedly tied his robe shut. "Is.. Everything all right?" He tried to look away as he fumbled with his belt, but as he went to walk forwards he tripped on it and fell forwards. Right into the female inspector. Everyone stood in silent horror as the good inspector face planted into Prince's... 'delicate cushions'.

Prince stared as the Inspector closed his robe and cleared her throat awkwardly, but was instantly sent into a mental frenzy as he face-planted into her chest. She stood for a moment in silent horror wishing she'd have at least thrown on her own robe so it was more cushioned, before finally letting out a horrified squeak.

Data gasped loudly, Scooter couldn't help but chuckle to herself and Penny just covered her face with both hands thoroughly mortified. Digit, on the other hand, was scowling at both parties.

Gadget reached up to poke the soft mass as he couldnt really be in this predicament. "Ahmsss srry" his voice came out muffled from between her bosom. He quickly pulled his face out before quickly turning in embarrassment, his face was red and tears nearly streamed. He didnt know what to say or do.

Penny just watched on in horror as she had not a clue what to say. Her uncle had really done it this time.

Prince visibly shuddered from her feet to the top of her head, her cheeks stained bright pink. "I... Er..." A sound left her throat that almost sounded as if she was being strangled. "N-No! D-Don't think anymore o-on it!" Her body was very rigid. "I, uh... I'll be... In my, uh..." She pointed to the door and made her way over to it, walking almost like a penguin along the way. "See... See you at breakfast."

Digit looked over to Gadget. with a big frown, only to get jabbed in the side by Fidget. Data and Scooter were still in the room and Scooter was laughing her ass off over what had just happened. "Oh, oh man! You just... HAHAHAHA... You just... COPPED a feel! HAHAHA!"

Data couldn't help but titter over the terrible police pun, but looked away, her own face tinged with embarrassment for both parties involved.

After that truly embarrassing moment, Gadget quickly got dressed and took his two sidekicks to breakfast to be briefed by Inspector Prince. He had penny stay in the room, promising to bring her something to eat when they finished. He didnt want her involved. This was official business and she would just be put in harms way. Hopefully he would be able to face Prince after the unfortunate... incident.
