PROLOGUE
Screech!!! The truck with the panda inside was finally here. Oh right, I forgot. My name is Eve, and I work at the AAC (Awesome Animal Center).
Right now we just rescued a panda from the RIA, Rebel Inc. Agency (or as everyone else knows them) the government, which was doing an experiment on the poor panda. They stole him from the rainforest to see what would happen when they took him away, and when nothing happened, they decided to kill him. But we knew about this plan, and we came to the rescue just in time.
Let me tell you what happened to me and my BFF Mia. We ran after the truck holding the panda which was a pretty stupid idea considering we were just kids and that was a giant truck. If Mia wasn’t an amazing inventor (she had invented rocket shoes that carry you above the ground going six times faster than the truck) we would have been toast. We put the shoes on our feet, flew after the truck, and caught it up in no time. But one thing remained: how we would get in. We tried to lift the latch on the back of the truck, but it wouldn’t budge. Finally we got it open, and we saw the panda inside. It was so adorable! We got her back to the rescue center and fixed up her scratches and got her to her pen. The rescue center called the zoo manager, and he said we could keep the panda because we were the ones who had saved the panda. And from that day and on, us girls became best friends and never left each other’s side.
Chapter One: The Voice
Back to school. Ugh, stupid school. Eve and Mia carried themselves into class. The dumb teacher Mr. Beg boodey or Big boody wrote something that looked like neat gibberish. Then he suddenly collapsed and started snoring.
“Finally!” Mia said sarcastically. “Something exciting today!”
Something was wrong. He didn’t usually snooze off like that, if you didn’t count the time that he did snooze off. And if you didn’t count the other time he also snoozed off. Eve observed him. Suddenly, Eve and Mia heard a faint voice.
“My name is Lunala. I am the ghost of the panda that you saved. After saving me from the government, you have proved that you are worthy of being spies! There’s a new mystery you must solve. But it won’t be easy alone. Go to the stone wall in the park. Wait for me there… ”
Chapter Two: I Spy with My Little Eye…
Mia turned to Eve. “Did you just hear what I just heard?” Eve was still looking towards the man.
“I wonder why he collapsed when this case may have nothing to do with him?”
“I don’t know how or why, but it probably does have something to do with him. And if it does, I’m going to fire him and get a less boring teacher,” Eve said with a grin.
“Well, don’t get your hopes up!”
She started walking towards the door but noticed that Mia was still grinning and staring, so she went back and slapped her in the face. Mia popped out of her “revenge bubble,” grabbed her backpack, and followed her. When they got there, Mia leaned on the stone wall.
“I think this whole thing is a dumb prank that pranksters set up,” she said.
And at that moment, the wall she was leaning on opened up and revealed a long misty hallway. Mia stumbled backwards. There was a ghostlike woman that was so faint that the girls had to squint to prove to themselves that she was actually there.
“Excuse me?” she said with the same ghostlike voice as the voice they had heard before.
“No prank, no prank,” Mia said, stepping away.
“Are you the ghost voice?” said Eve with curiosity in her eyes. The woman only turned around and started walking down the misty hallway. “C’mon!” Mia said.
“No way.”
“Why not? You were the one who was all, ‘Are you the ghost voice?’ — she’s getting away!”
And Eve was pulled after her. The hall turned into a slanted slope that seemed to get steeper and steeper. But the girls kept following her. When they got close enough, they saw a wall in the distance. It led straight up, and there was no way around it. As it got closer, they started to wonder how they would get past it. Lunala didn’t stop walking when she got to it though. Suddenly, as if gravity had changed, she walked up the wall, sideways. Eve gasped, and Mia grinned.
“And she expects us to do that?!”
“Poor you,” Mia said.
“Why? You know that we both have to climb that wall right?”
“Well, I think you’ll be on your own for that, because I have these.” From out of her bag, she brought out her rocket shoes.
“Better start climbing girl!”
She was right. There a long way to go. After a few minutes, instead of climbing, she felt as if she were crawling. Slowly but carefully, she stood up. And a few seconds after that, Mia, on her rocketties, fell to the ground. (She liked to name everything she invented. For example, her Ultra-Dishwasher who also did all the cooking and cleaning in her house was named Suzie.)
“What happened to the gravity?” she asked.
“I had the same question. It must be what happened to Lunala.”
Eve and Mia jogged the rest of the way, catching up to Lunala. They stopped at a vine-covered wall. Lunala faced the girls.
“Put your hands on the wall.”
The girls looked at the wall and found two bloody but dry hand shapes carved into the wall. Lunala blew away the blood and the vines on the wall with one blow. They placed their hands on the stone carved wall, and suddenly, all the concrete in between the small square stones started to light up. So much light came out that all the stones flew out of the places and turned into ash. Soon the hand shapes also turned into ash. Even though the holders were gone, Lunala still held their hands in place.
When there was nothing left but light, she said, “Step into the light.”
And they walked in together, holding hands. Inside was warm; the light was getting brighter. Eve looked back only to see more light. They were holding their breath (except Lunala) as if they were under water. But they weren’t. They were in a light teleportation wave that was impossible to hack. Only the chosen ones could open it. Well, as long as you had a key card you could get in. They moved closer and closer to the light until Eve could just make out a beautiful technology-filled inside of a building with many testing rooms with new inventions waiting to be tested. They finally entered the palace like world.
Chapter Three: New Dimension
It was beautiful. It was bustling with people. A girl on floating shoes whizzed passed everyone and into their view.
“Hi! I’m Lia, and I’m going to show you around.”
The girls liked her already. She was wearing headphones, a dark blue tank top with a hoodie, jeans, and those floating shoes Mia was jealous of. Out of her watch, she popped out a hoverboard. “Get on, and try to keep up.” She put on her hood and turned on her music.
“Go. She will be important to your mission.”
“How? She doesn’t seem to be that helpful anyway.”
“You will see. Now go.”
They were as obedient as ever. They hopped on, she tapped the hoverboard twice, and it zoomed to the Grand (but very plain) Stairway. Lia was sitting there looking at her phone. She looked up.
“Oh! You made it! I didn’t expect that actually… Well, that doesn’t matter. Follow me.”
She showed them so many different rooms, including her own workout rooms and inventing rooms. (She is an inventor, and she built the shoes and the watch/hoverboard.) There were amazing rooms. Some rooms were beautiful and peaceful. Some were huge and full of people working out. After the tour, the girls were surprisingly tired. So Lia showed them their room. It. Was. Huge!!! I wouldn’t even call it a room. It had waterfalls and gigantic beautiful flowers. It was pretty much a hotel paradise if you ask me. It was getting dark, so they went to bed for the night, and suddenly, the voice appeared again. Out of nowhere.
“Meet me at my office. Lia is outside to guide you.”
“Well, I guess we should go?”
“Duh!”
They raced out the door and almost fell into Lia. Lucky for their reputation, Lia dodged them just in time. They stumbled into the hall, missing her by a tinsy winsy millimeter. Also lucky for them, they fell on the hoverboard. And within a few seconds of zooming around people, they were outside a wall. The board hovered for a few seconds, and once the wall opened, it zoomed through. Inside was another beautiful estate. And they weren’t alone. Many other people were sitting around a table and smiling. Some were floating around. And some were ghosts, like Lunala.
“What is going on? You haven’t even told us where we are!” Mia said.
“That’s why we called you here. Also to explain your mission.”
“Mission???” Lunala grinned.
“Hehe, yup. This is a long story, so get comfy. Once upon a time, there lived two royal blooded sisters. One represented nature, birth, sky, and light. The other represented destruction, death, lava, and darkness. They hated each other, as they were opposites, and they made no attempt to hide this. They harmed each other and the world around them to show who was stronger and more powerful. But they had no idea what was happening to them. An evil sorcerer known only by a rhyme… dark as the night, swift as a kite, wins all his fights, with a jaguar’s sight… had taken their good side and was sinking bad into it. The sister of light quickly realized and tried to tell her sister, but the magic was too powerful. She was only so powerful until the sorcerer showed her a chance to become his apprentice. Now this, was a chance she could not deny. In her eyes, it was like, ‘This man is giving me the chance to take over the world. Ha! Foolish. I’ll skin him ALIVE once I get everything out of his knowledge.’ But in real life, he was using her to do all his crimes FOR him. Now this was a smart move. In fact, he made such smart moves that he even kept his identity a secret. And that’s pretty impossible to do in a place like this especially if you are a well-known threat to everyone. Now, everyone knows the BAD sister as, ‘the sorcerer’s apprentice.’ It’s a proven rumor that she and her master are planning something. Something big. And we NEED to know what or else… or else… ”
Chapter Four: The Mission
“Or else what?” Eve asked.
“Or else all the dimensions in the whole unalaxy will be controlled by one evil man.”
”But how can one man control the entire unicycle-thingy that you were talking about that sounded really big?!” Mia asked, baffled.
“This man is much more powerful than you think, and he’s a master of disguise. On his first attempt to control the whole unalaxy, he killed many lives. But luckily, unlike the rest of the people that died, the royal blooded ones, instead of perishing into thin air, turned into ghosts.” Lunala smiled.
“You are the good sister!!!” Eve and Mia exclaimed in unison. “I can’t believe it!!!” they said again.
“Keep the celebration short, because things have only gotten worse now. So far, we’ve sent two spies, and only one has come back, barely escaping death. She said that the pair had created their secret base somewhere in the amazon. And that ‘spy,’ is actually Lia. And do your, ‘I can’t believe it!!!’ thing inside your heads this time.” Eve and Mia took Lunala’s advice and did it in their heads.
“… Okay… Well, anyways, you’re going to be the next spies. Lia will — ”
“Wait! Don’t we need training before we go on our first real mission?” Eve asked.
“You were born to be spies. You don’t need training. Now, as I was saying… Lia will show you how to teleport. Then, you can start your mission however and whenever you want. This is just about getting information, so you can come back anytime you want. Oh, and also, this might help you get started.” She gave them an old, yellowing photo. Eve studied it and looked to Mia.
“It’s of a dragon bracelet. It might come in handy, so keep an eye out for it.”
“Just know that I’ll always be with you!”
“Okay… ”
“Suis moi!” Lia said. “Uhhhh, follow me, in French.”
Eve stashed the photo in her pocket. Suddenly, the world started to fade. A couple moments later, they spawned to Lia’s workout gym. It was quite a sight.
“Just now, you teleported. To teleport, first think of the place that you want to go to. Discuss it before you do so because you can’t do it without each other. Then say who you are to the Atom Spirit, one of my old friends who will give you advice. So in your case, say Eve, Mia, Panda Spies. Go ahead. Try it.”
“Eve.”
“Mia.”
“Panda spies!!!” And for the second time that day, the world around them faded away.
“So, where should we go?”
“Definitely to our classroom,” Eve answered.
“Why? It’s Sunday, right? Or is my calendar another cheap New Year sell 50% off?”
“Ummm… I don’t have an answer to whatever you’re talking about, but we need to go there because we need to investigate. Yesterday our teacher fainted, and we think it has something to do with this ‘bad guy’ we were informed about,” Mia said.
“Say the word, and I’ll send you straight to your destination!!!”
“Well, what’s the word?” Eve asked.
“Your mom!!! Hahahahahaha, I’ll never get tired of my jokes!! Haha oh, umm, well, the actual word is cute cat puppy dog. I made it myself.”
Eve and Mia looked at him with a ‘seriously?’ look.
“What! I can’t resist them!!!”
“That’s what you named the word?”
“Well, I guess we should get going,” Eve said.
“Cute cat puppy dog!” they said together. And then the world started spinning into their old classroom.
The teacher should have still been lying there because the nurses wouldn’t bother to come to their classroom.
“That’s weird. He’s not here.”
“Maybe the nurses decided to for some out of their minds but reasonable reason to check this room?”
“Probably not.” Something caught Eve’s eye.
“Is that a dragon bracelet on the floor???”
“O-M-G, it is!!!” The girls danced around happily as if they had completed the mission… but soon came to realize they hadn’t.
“So, now what?”
“Uhhhhh, how am I supposed to know?” Eve asked putting the abandoned bracelet on. Something shot through her. Maybe magic. But whatever it was, it was growing fast.
“Ugh!!! We’re getting nowhere!!!” Lunala said that the photo of the dragon bracelet would help us. Well now that we’ve found it, something should happen right?”
”Mia? Something weird is — ” But before Eve could finish her sentence, they found themselves in the atom spirit’s home, and then in a deep in a dark wood, nowhere they had ever been before.
“ — wrong. Wow. Where are we, and how did we get here?”
“I don’t know, but it looks like we’re in the amazon.
The magic, or whatever that was inside of Eve had taken them to this forest! They heard footsteps and scrambled behind a tree before they could be spotted. The footsteps, were in fact two people’s footsteps. They were both unrecognizable, wearing dark cloaks and were discussing something.
“… need you to do this. I’m too old to do this stuff.”
“I’m starting to think you’re just using me. Even if you are too old, you can at least step through a portal! Besides, you don’t seem to be getting older at all!” The first voice was dark and low, a man’s voice. The second was a young woman’s voice, and she was about Lunala’s age, but a little younger.
“Just hustle, someone might see us!”
The duo shuffled over to a mysterious tall rectangular shape covered by a black sheet. The girls hadn’t seen it when they entered the forest, and there was a strange opening around the shape in the repeating cluster of trees. The man pulled the sheet off the shape and revealed an old dressing mirror.
“Ahhh, here it is. The portal to Earth. Now, I want you to slowly step inside and retrieve the materials that I had you remember last night.”
“How am I supposed to find them? It’s not like I know where it is already.”
“Just look for a yellow M, which’ll stand for McDonalds. Once you get the things, protect them with your life. Sacrifice anything to get them safe and sound in my clutch. Then, you are dismissed.”
And with that, the man disappeared into thin air. The woman took off her hood and revealed a beautiful face. She seemed familiar, and yet the girls couldn’t remember who she was. She stepped into the mirror.
“Well, she seemed pretty familiar!” Mia said.
“Yeah! I can’t remember what I know her from though!”
“I think the ‘materials’ they were talking about has something to do with our case!!!”
“Well, either way, we should follow her into the portal before it’s too late!”
“Good idea.”
They hopped into the mirror just as the magic was fading from it. The portal was just like the one that had led them to where Lia and the other ghosts were.
“I wouldn’t think earth is important to any of these things going on,” Eve said.
“If it has anything to do with it, maybe we should follow her.”
“Yup.”
And with that, the girls followed the distant cloaked woman. She was fast, and following her required lots of skill. But the girls managed by teleporting to her every few minutes. They arrived in a restaurant with a giant yellow M as its mascot. Ugh. McDonald’s. The woman seemed very interested in the fact that all of the customers had gathered in this particular spot and went around asking innocent people questions about why they had came here while the girls were busy crawling to the kitchen.
“Now what?” Eve asked.
“Just fit in until she takes action. And worry not, I’m a pro at fitting in.”
“Uh-huh,” Eve said sarcastically.
“Jealous?” Eve rolled her eyes, and Mia stuck her tongue out. “Okay so here’s what we’re going to do… ”
Chapter Five: The Plan
Mia reached inside her backpack, spread out a long sheet of blueprints, and grabbed two soda cans.
She placed them on the print and said, “This is us. First, we make some noise when the mascot is nearby and lure him over into the kitchen. I’ll throw a sack over his head, tie his hands and feet, and you’ll push him down. Once he’s lying down, I’ll pull off the person’s costume and hop inside. You help me up and also get inside. Then we’ll be ready to explore outside without being caught!”
“Let’s do this!
“Also, lets try to do all of this quietly… ”
“But, how am I supposed to be loud when I’m trying to be quiet???”
“Just do what I do okay? Monkey see monkey do.” Eve nodded, and they started their loud improvising band.
Eventually, the mascot guy came in. They did as planned, and when Eve pulled the costume off the man, she didn’t just notice the man. She noticed that the man was a very handsome man indeed. Mia was in position to throw the sack over his head, but when he turned to look at her, she nearly trampled him and ended up falling in Eve’s arms, laughing hysterically. She hit her head on the counter top and went nuts.
“Oh, hello, my dear old granny Bob!” Her words didn’t match her confused expression. “Oh, and what is Mr. Big boody doing here?”
“Uhh, is she always like this?” the handsome guy asked.
“No, she just hit her head on the counter top.”
“You should get her back to the Central Spy Base.”
“Wha — how did you know?!” Not every day did someone know that they were spies.
“I used to work there. And you two have the same sparkle in your eyes as another spy I know.”
“Well,” Eve said looking back at the mysterious woman. She sighed. “Okay… but I was in the middle of catching the woman… oh wait! Why don’t you go take Mia there while I deal with the case? What? What a great deal!!! I would definitely take the job.”
“Nice try, but I’m prohibited from going back.”
“So you were a spy. Hmm, interesting! So tell me, why why why did you become prohibited from the Central whatever it’s called?”
“Chickens eat barf-arf-arf! I’m a pig!!!” Mia exclaimed after taking a self tour of the kitchen.
“Let’s not get too personal. We should probably get going, and fine, I’ll go with you. So it’s fair.”
“Oh, and what’s your name?”
“Jason. And yours?”
“I’m Eve, and this is my friend Mia.”
“Mia, Mia Mia — ”
“And Eve,” Eve cut in.
Jason picked up Mia and held Eve’s hand. It was warm, and it seemed like such a gesture even though it was only for a short time.
“Jason. Eve. Mia. Panda spies!!!” Eve said. The world spun into the misty land of the Atom Spirit.
“Hello up there, fat guy!” Jason turned, and his rocket shoes blasted him upwards so that he and the Atom Spirit were face to face. Well mostly nose to face (because the Atom Spirit was so huge!!!).
“You again??? I thought you were banished from the Central Spy Base!!!”
“Well, yeah I was banished. But I’m going to sneak in.” Jason started walking towards the opening in the floor, but the Atom Spirit blocked him.
“Nu-u-u!!! Where do you think you’re going???”
Eve just stood there while Jason defended her.
“Uhhhh, the YKW. Duh!!!”
“… ”
“The you know where. Now get outta my way so I can go. Besides, I have a girl to save” For the first time, the Atom Spirit noticed Eve, standing there behind Jason.
“Ohhh, so it’s you creating all the commotion?! I thought you were on a mission to save the world??? I guess you’re going to be in lots of trouble!!!”
“Whatever, just let us pass,” Eve mumbled pushing past the Atom Spirit.
Just before she stepped in, she motioned Jason to follow her. Jason tipped his imaginary hat to the Atom Spirit and skidded off with Mia on his shoulder.
Chapter Six: Revival
The Central Spy Base was strangely deserted. Normally, there were at least a hundred students roaming about, but today, absolutely no one was there. As if there was something more important than taking a walk!!! Okay, nevermind, there were things more important than taking a walk, but who cared!!!
“I-it’s been such a long time since I’ve been here… ” Jason said, “that I, I forgot how beautiful this place is… ”
Eve noticed he had dropped Mia and that she had started to wake up from a nap.
“It’s strange, nobody here. We should probably stay quiet and alert.” Eve nodded.
“Why?”
“Something is going on… Uhh, I don’t want to talk about it, so yeah!”
“But then what are we going to do about… ”
“The pandas brought us together!!!” Mia fell back into her sleep.
“Her.” Eve sighed, looking down.
“Do not fear, Jason is here!!! We’ll just drop her in this closet!!!” When Eve looked up, she saw him slam a closet door closed, lock it, and mash the key into pieces.
“No!!! She was like a sister to me!!! Why!!!”
“Jeez, I was just kidding.” Jason stepped aside, so she could see where he had really hidden her.
“On the shelf, huh? I like your sense of humor, but we should seriously get going.” Eve walked towards the stone wall, Lunala’s meeting place.
“Wait!!! You might want to know, the reason I wanted us to be quiet, is because… because… whenever someone comes here, the place automatically knows. Lunala’s been on the search for me for a long time so now that I’ve shown up, she’s obviously looking for me.”
“So why’s that bad???”
“I wanna stay hidden, because if Lunala finds me, I’m going to become the future ruler of the Central Spy Base. And I don’t like the whole, ‘ruling’ process.”
Eve nods, not in understanding, for she did not get why he didn’t want to be ruler of the Central Spy Base, but because she wanted him to think she was cool. Eve started to think about how Mia would turn out. And about how life would have been like if she and Mia hadn’t saved Lunala. Something grabbed her and pulled her out of her day dreaming and into another room.
“What did you do that for???” Eve yelled, pushing away from whoever it was that pulled her. Noticing that it was Jason, she shrank back into her usual hunched position.
“Lunala just walked in, so I ran here, but you were just standing there, so I grabbed you and got over here. If it wasn’t thanks to me, we would have been caught.
“Oh… well thanks,” Eve mumbled without meaning it. Eve looked around to see what room they were in, but she was startled by what she saw.
“Jason? I think you brought us into Lunala’s meeting room!!!” Jason turned and saw what she saw. Tons of people, including Lia were staring at them.
“J-Jason… what are you doing here?” She stepped forward.
“I thought you had left us for good… ” Eve glanced at Jason. He had turned red.
“Guilty as charged,” he murmured. Lia looked straight into his eyes. Her dangerous side had come out.
“You said we would come back together.” She grabbed him by the collar.
“You said we could share the deal.” She stopped. She took a deep breath.
“Excuse me. I will work this out myself, alone.” With that, she walked out of the room, still holding Jason.
“Whoa! That was crazy!” Eve laughed, but nobody else did. They stared at her.
“Oh, I’m sorry, was that not funny to any of you?” She looked around and saw a snail in its cage laughing along with her. “See, the snail agrees!!!”
Eve plastered a fake smile on her face. She slowly walked out of the room, not wanting to deal with any more snails or grumpy ghosts. Suddenly, it came to her. She took out the picture of the dragon bracelet, and in the background was a forest, too familiar to miss. That was where the magic inside of her had taken them. Just before that, they had found the dragon bracelet in the classroom. She decided to go there. But before she did that, she grabbed Mia. Poor Mia had a scar from the counter incident.
“Eve. Mia. Panda spies!!!” She tried to do her best imitation of Mia. The world turned white and the Atom Spirit appeared.
“Well hello there, Eve dear!!!” he said, patting her head. Eve appreciated it, especially because recently there had been nobody around to love her.
“I would like to go to my classroom.”
“… ”
“Even though it’s Sunday.” The Atom Spirit nodded, and in a blink of an eye, the smokey colorless place became her old classroom. Summer break had sent all the kids sprawling out on the fresh grass. Jealous, Eve rolled her eyes at the thought of it. I need to focu — Ow!!! When she looked down she saw Mia, grabbing her foot.
“W-what happened?” She looked around. “How did we get here? What’s going on???”
“You passed out when your head hit the counter top in the kitchen of McDonald’s.” Mia nodded in understanding.
“Ohhhhh, I think I remember that… ”
“You need to help me figure this out. I-I can’t do this alone.”
“Well tell me the clues!” Eve explained everything that had happened that day. But she left out the part about Lia and Jason.
“So, can you help me???” Eve pleaded with pleading eyes.
Mia smirked and said, “I think I know what the evil man’s plan is!”
Chapter Seven: The Truth
“Eve, I need you to teleport us to the forest using your magic inside of you. It is a place where only special magic can take us.
“How did you learn all of this stuff?” Eve asked.
“While I conked out, I learned a lot of things you may have not known,” Mia said.
Eve used the magic inside of her, and it came swirling out of her chest into the world. The forest appeared. Mia walked up to one of the trees. She jumped and grabbed a leaf. She smelled it.
“I knew it!!!”
“Knew what???” Eve had no idea of how a leaf could be so important.
“These leaves are called dragon leaves, and that’s what the picture was supposed to represent, not the actual bracelet. And it makes sense. Mr. Beg Boodey likes and knows the agriculture of dragons by heart.”
“But why is the tree important?”
“The dragon leaf tree’s leaves are the key ingredients to the hypnotizing spell. I think that the evil man was planning on taking over everyone’s minds. They went to McDonald’s to collect supplies.”
“Well, that explains a lot”
“It would have been nice if Lunala had put in the word, ‘McDonalds’ in her story.”
“The story! The man and the woman must have been from Lunala’s story, uhhh, what was his name again, Mia? “
“The evil man.”
“Thanks, pal. And Lunala’s sister. We need to deliver this info before Lunala and the CSB get hypnotized!!!”
Chapter Eight: Surprise!
As Eve and Mia ran down the hall and pounded on the hard stone wall leading to Lunala’s room, Eve felt a sensation of worry drift through her. What if she was too late? What if everyone was already hypnotized??? No, it couldn’t happen. No! No! No! Eve pushed harder and harder on the wall, but it wouldn’t budge. Finally, Mia smiled as she realized.
“Eve, just use your magic!” Embarrassed from not knowing, Eve took a step back and let her miracles begin. She had learned about it when it had magically transported her and Mia to the forest. When she opened the door, she couldn’t believe her eyes.
“SURPRISE!!!” everyone yelled. “HAPPY PROMOTION!!!”
Eve couldn’t believe it. She and Mia were getting promoted! She glanced over at Mia, whose eyes bulged out of her face. Music and laughter filled the room.
“Hey, so nice job… on the job! I heard that you’re getting promoted to professional spy with Mia!” Lunala said.
“Yep. But how did you know we were here?” Mia stammered. Lunala smiled.
“Remember when I said just before you left to go searching for clues that I’ll always be with you?”
“Yeah… what about it?” Eve asked.
“So I never left you. Like you never left each other after you saved me. I guess panda Lunala really brought you together.”
