"Alright, ladies, here is your mission for today," Jerry said. He motioned for GLADIS to show them video footage of something. "In Milan, supermodels have been acting strange. They walk down the runway, like they usually would, and then they would stop on the edge with a wild grin."
The girls listened in silence. The agents from the Centre were just there, not knowing what they should do. MOM cleared her throat.
"Jerry, as much as I hate to say this, we have to leave," MOM said with a small smile. "Agent Billy?"
Billy made a portal that led back to the Centre and motioned for them to follow him in, grinning. They bade their farewell to the WOOHP agents and walked through it.
"Okay, now back to the mission," Jerry said, turning back to the spies. "Ladies?"
"Yes, Jer," the girls said in unison.
"Right, they would stand on the edge of the runway with a wide grin plastered on their face," Jerry continued. "And then they would laugh hysterically at the audience before jumping off the runway. They all seemed to have no recollection of these incidents afterwards and seem to be perfectly fine. I want you three to investigate this. One of you will be posing as a model."
Clover's eyes shined when she heard this. She prayed that it would be her.
"Sam?" Jerry said, much to Clover's dismay. "You'll be acting as a runway photographer."
Clover crossed her fingers, hoping that she'd be chosen to pose as the model.
"Alex?" Jerry said, much to her dismay again. "You'll be the wardrobe manager. You'll be able to get a close look at the outfits. We suspect that they might be bugged or something worse."
"So I'm the model?!" Clover said excitedly. "Ooohh! Thank you Jer! Thank you, thank you THANK YOU!"
"Yes, and you'll be the model," Jerry said with a slight smile. "I figured that you'd be perfect for the role."
"Since you have all of the gadgets in your Ultra X-Powders, I don't have to assign you any," GLADIS said in her usual robotic voice, lights flashing. "But as for updates, they will be done after every mission."
"Aww our GLADIS isn't gonna end up jobless now, is she?" Alex asked hopefully. "We love GLADIS!"
"Don't worry, ladies," GLADIS said. "I am in charge of the system in your X-Powders. I can never be jobless in WOOHP as long as Jerry is here. Isn't that right, Jerry?"
"Yes, very amusing, GLADIS," Jerry said, slightly annoyed. He turned back to the spies. "Good luck, girls."
And with that, he pressed a button that sucked them off to their destination.

"Alright, so I take it we have a mission too?" Martin asked as soon as they arrived at MOM's office. "What's for us, MOM?"
"Agents," MOM said, sounding serious. "There's something going on."
"Where?" Diana asked, slightly disturbed. "I-It's not here, in the Centre now, is it, Mom?"
"No," MOM said. "It's not in here, but in the palace of Alaxia."
"Wow, we get to go to a PALACE?!" Martin exclaimed in awe. "When can we start?!"
Martin started imagining himself surrounded by beautiful princesses who all swooned over him.
"Martin, I think MOM has something else to say," Diana interrupted his train of thought. "MOM, what's up in Alaxia?"
"The king claims that he sleeps on his bed, only to wake up somewhere completely irrelevant," MOM said. "He would wake up on the lawn, in the garden, in the dungeon, on the roof, and anywhere else that he evidently didn't go to sleep in."
"Maybe he's just a sleepwalker," Diana reasoned with a shrug. "MOM, I don't see how this is a big deal."
"Agent Lombard, the situation is much more dire than that," MOM said, giving her a serious look. "The king had the same thought as you, and installed surveillance cameras all around the hallway in front of his room, and in his castle. But not once was he seen wandering around at night. He would just appear out of nowhere."
"Oh my gosh, that's so cool!" Martin said, his eyes shining. "He has the ability to teleport!"
"The queen has apparently tried to jump off the Regal Bridge out of despair," MOM continued. "But she didn't remember why."
"Now this is serious," Martin said thoughtfully. "Alright, let's get this show on the road!"
Billy grinned and pointed to a portal that led straight to Alaxia. The three agents waved and travelled to the Middle Eastern country.

"This is amazing, we get to travel to MILAN!" Clover said excitedly. "Oh Milan... this is the place for me."
Sam and Alex smothered giggles. Sam piloted the aircraft, steering it directly to Milan.
"Is they time for shopping?" Clover asked hopefully. "Oh come on, guys! A little shopping sesh wouldn't hurt, right?"
Sam and Alex couldn't resist.

Santorini Drive, Milan, Italy.
Clover's hands were so full that she could barely even feel her fingers. Her two friends exchanged doubtful looks.
"Clover, you sure you don't need any help?" Sam decided to ask. "Your fingers look like they could break at any moment now..."
"No, I'm good," Clover said with a smile. She then spotted a shoe store. "Ooooh! A shoe sale!"
She bolted towards it and started buying more shoes.
"You think she's gonna be okay?" Alex asked, watching her blonde friend go crazy in the store. "Should we call a shrink?"
"Nah, she's fine..." Sam said with a smirk. "It's Clover, what do you expect?"
They eventually dragged her back to the hotel. They had a fashion show, testing out the new outfits they bought.
"This would be perfect to wear on the runway!" Clover said dreamily. She started imagining herself on the runway, waving at her fans who threw roses at her. "Ooooh!"
"Clover?" Sam said, snapping her back to reality. "You'll be wearing what the designer's giving you?"
"Don't worry, I'll give you the best one," Alex said with a grin. "I'm the wardrobe manager, after all."
Clover grinned at her.
They looked forward to the fashion show, mostly Clover. She didn't care much about the mission, mostly about the part where she gets to act as a model for the night.
And that was a dream come true.
