When last we saw our beleaguered heroes, they had been cornered by the nefarious odd villain Sue Venir, who had vowed to have vengeance on the stalwart young agents.

"You took away my magnificent collection of snoglobes within which I had trapped all my favorite tourist attractions!" Sue gloated. "So now, I'm going to destroy your entire souvenir collection!" She threw back her head and did her best evil laugh.

"Uh," Osmerelda nudged Omar. "Why is she explaining all this AGAIN?"

"Well, it's been awhile since this fanfic has been updated, " Omar observed. "It's necessary to remind people what's already happened, not to mention getting the readers who aren't familiar with the show caught up on everything."

Osmerelda stared at him. "Um, okay. Two things. First, if they don't watch the show, why are they reading fanfic about it? And starting at Chapter Five, to boot? And second... What show?"

"CAN WE GET BACK TO ME NOW?" Sue Venir interrupted. "After all, I'm supposed to be the threat here!"

"Is threat indeed, dahling," Natasha whispered to Boris Badenov. "If she destroys boy's souvenir collection, she also destroy his photo. And then Fearless Leader will destroy us!"

True, for Fearless Leader, ruler of the criminal nation of Pottsylvania and Boris and Natasha's boss, had tasked the villainous spies with obtaining the two halves of the infamous Tombstone Thunderbird Photo. One half was owned by Bullwinkle J. Moose; the other was in the possession of Agent Omar and sat among the assorted trinkets and treasures being threatened by...

"Wait a minute!" Sue Venir pointed at Natasha. "How did she get in here?"

"I, uh..." Natasha scrambled for an explanation. "I slip in while no one is looking. Look, it's been over a month since last chapter and nobody is reading this anyway."

Sue Venir shrugged and decided to allow it. Boris and Natasha resumed their conversation.

Boris flashed Natasha a sly grin. "Not a problem, honey pot! All we have to do is steal photo! Then this person will destroy all other souvenirs and cover our tracks!"

"Brilliant, Boris!" Natasha applauded. "But how will you get photo without anyone noticing?"

"I have elaborate and diabolically cunning plan!" Boris assured her. Then he went into action.

Quickly, he pointed into the distance. "Look! Over there!"

"Huh?"

"Where?"

"What thing?"

While Sue Venir and the two Odd Squad agents looked to see what Boris might have been pointing at, he quickly grabbed the photo off the table, stuck it in his pocket, and slipped away, Natasha by his side.

"Now all we have to do is get Moose's half! And with any luck, get Moose as well!"

Finally, the others all turned back around.

"I don't see any... Hey!" Sue Venir blinked. "Where'd that guy go?"

Omar shrugged. Osmerelda looked around.

"I think he went over there!" She pointed.

"Over where?"

Sue Venir turned to look. When she did, Osmerelda grabbed Omar and yanked him down behind the table.

"Okay," Osmerelda whispered. "We've gotta come up with a plan to stop Sue Venir!"

"And save my souvenir collection!" Omar added.

Boris and Natasha, meanwhile, had slipped over to Rocky and Bullwinkle, who still stubbornly refused to see through the two miscreants' disguises.

"Well, we've been kinda preoccupied!" Bullwinkle insisted.

"Yeah!" Rocky pushed up his goggles. "Besides, all humans look the same to us!"

Be that as it may, our stalwart heroes had no idea they were in the company of their old enemies, who were not to be trusted. Consequently, a few slick words from Boris' cunning lips led the mighty moose to confront the rival villain.

"I don't see him anywhere!" Sue Venir exclaimed. "Say! I wonder if I've been tricked!"

"Say, lady!" Bullwinkle took Sue's arm, dragging her toward his table. "If'n you wanna take pictures of a really great collection, you should check out mine!"

"What? Let GO of me, you antlered goof!"

"No, really!" The moose assured her. "It's terrific! Why, it's been written up in The Frostbite Falls Shoppers Gazette six times!"

"I don't care!"

"Once right next to the ladies' deodorant adverts! And that's the most coveted spot!"

Sue struggled against the mouse's iron grip to no avail as Bullwinkle pulled her away.

"Release me, you snouted simpleton!"

"Gee, Bullwinkle!" Rocky chirped, seeing the villain's distress. "I don't think she wants to go!"

"Ah, she'll change her mind when I show her my complete set of MY MOTHER THE CAR coffee mugs!" Bullwinkle insisted. "I spent years scouring the tag sales for those! And you should see what I picked up at the flea markets!"

"Hokey smoke!" The little squirrel squeaked, eyes wide. "What?"

"Fleas!" He scratched his underarm.

And while Rocky smacked his forehead, Boris and Natasha watched from the sidelines.

"But Boris!" Natasha cried. "Now we have same problem with Moose and Squirrel we had with Odd Squad!"

"So?" Boris shrugged. "We have same problem? We do same solution!"

He stepped forward and pointed into the distance. "Look! Over there!"

Rocky and Bullwinkle of course obligingly looked where Boris pointed.

"Where? I don't see anything!"

"Yeah! All's I see is a whole big lotta nothing! "

Sue Venir, however, balked.

"Oh, no! You're not tricking me again!" She shook her head. "I know what you're up to! You point over there to get me to look that way... And I'm supposed to turn around like this .." She turned. "And I'm supposed to stand there looking like an idiot..." She pretended to stare into the distance. "Then when I turn around, you've..."

She turned around. Boris and Natasha had grabbed the photo off Bullwinkle's table and fled.

"BLAST it!" She stomped her foot in frustration.

Some distance away, the two Pottsylvanian spies were fleeing, photos clutched in their clutches.

"Boris! You did it! You got both halves of Thunderbird Photo!"

"You know it, Poopsie!" Boris gloated. "Now we just turn over the pictures to Fearless Leader and Freedom and Democracy are doomed!"

Oh no! Can it be true? Are Freedom and Democracy doomed?
