I woke with a start. The waking was probably so shocking because I had never done it. It was so odd. I had a large hole in my memory now... I threw off my blanket and realized I'd slept in my clothes.

Spy gear, if not returned in one day, disintegrates, so that my masters enemies can't analyze them. I was starting to walk to my closet when there was an insistent knocking on the door. "Don't come in!"

"You're still on probation! I can come in if I like!" "Olivia! Don't you dare open that door!" Olivia then swung open the door. I dove under the covers before anyone saw me, but I saw them. Everyone was with her.

"OLIVIA GO AWAY I'M NAKED!!!" "I'm sorry, I can't hear you from under that blanket. I'll pull it off so we can wake you up sleepyhead!" Olivia said, obviously trying to mortify me. Ever so innocent Polly cried, "Liv! She said she was naked! How did you not hear that?" and dragged the offender from the room.

I sighed in relief, and got up I went to my closet and quickly changed. It was hot, so I chose some faded jean shorts and a black crop top. "You guys can come in."  Polly was wearing a sea green pleated skirt, with her curly red hair plaited into two neat braids, and a sky blue ruffled teeshirt. 

White flip flops slapping against the floor she skipped into my room as sat on the bed.  Emil came in next, wearing a tiny suit, and his hair combed neatly.  He stood, quite comfortably, in the middle of the room. 

Olivia, wearing hot pink spandex shorts and a hot pink sports bra, plopped down at my desk, and spun around to face me.  Josh came and sat on my bed next to Polly. 

I avoided looking at him.  So I shouldn't have known that he was wearing blue jeans, with a red teeshirt that had a skull and crossbones on it.  Dang it I kept glancing at him!  At least I didn't know that he was wearing black converse... Dang it... 

"We brought paint!"  Polly cried, happily swinging her legs back and forth.  "Okay, place it on the desk and go."  "But we're gonna help!"  "I don't want your help."  "Do you want to get it done fast?" Olivia asked.  "Yes." 

"Well you'll definitely get it done faster with our help."  "No."  "Olivia is correct.  With our help you with get it done approximately 3 3/4 times faster, which is rounded of course."  Emil calculated.  "You're wrong.  You'll all get in my way." 

"Fine we'll watch then.  Id love to see how you could get it done that fast on your own."  Josh compromised.  "Fine."  I snatched a can of paint, and began to paint.  With my super speed, and the pattern, it took me exactly thirty-two minutes. 

"Let's all go to the cafe together, and when we finish breakfast, you can carpet your room."  Josh offered. I don't know how-  I figured it out!"  "What?!"  Polly asked loudly, surprised.  "I figured out what was wrong with that cat!  It had no mouth!" 

The entire group burst out laughing, and I looked on serious, and confused.  "Why are you laughing?"  Finally Josh chocked out a few words through his laughter.  "You found a mouthless cat and you couldn't figure out what was wrong with it?!" 

"No!  It was the mouthless cat that Polly showed me!"  "Polly...  Where'd you get a mouthless cat?!"  Olivia cried, falling out of her chair, and rolling around on the ground. 

"I-I-I didn't!  I mean- wait!  Do you mean Hello-Kitty?"  I nodded.  They began to laugh even harder.  "Guys!  Stop laughing at me!  I really don't understand!"
