The Adventures of C.E.L.E.

How it All Began

It was the year 2028, there were two friends named Lila Harold and Chary Charles, and after ten years of spy school and hard work, their dream finally came true! They then started a new company and lived together with their two precious, adorable, and very talented dogs.

Lila's dog was small, white, and named Connie, while Chary's dog was big, black, and named Patch. Christmas was coming soon, and the girls were holding a big party for all of their other friends; however, they still had a lot to do.

"Oh, my gosh. This party is getting so stressful," Chary explained as she calmed her wild black hair.

"What's wrong now?" Lila asked calmly.

"We don't have any cookie dough or good ornaments," Chary replied.

"How about we just make homemade cookies?" Lila suggested.

"Last time I made cookies from scratch, they were harder than rocks, and I think people turned as green as your eyes when they tried them," Chary replied.

"Relax, Chary. I can go out and buy some more food and decorations for our party," Lila explained calmly. She then put her coat on (making sure not to mess up her long blonde hair) and hopped on her motorcycle after getting Connie on his leash and drove off. After Lila left, Chary pulled out some of the Christmas decorations and began to decorate the house.

However, when she was putting a wreath on the kitchen door, two people wearing bright yellow and blue Cirque du Soleil Spermato costumes broke the front door down! They started ripping down decorations and knocked Chary and Patch out cold!

Luckily, before she was knocked out, Chary made a recording message to Lila about two people from Cirque du Soleil who came and started destroying and tearing down decorations. When Lila was back home and saw the mess, she looked around open-mouthed and almost dropped her bags. She then played the recording from Chary.

"Hi, Lila. I'm sorry about the mess. Two people who looked like Spermatos from Cirque du Soleil came and started to rip down decorations and..." the recording said. Lila gasped after hearing the message and learned what must have had happened afterward. Chary was probably knocked out with Patch, and the Cirque du Soleil Spermato performers kidnapped them! So Lila put her groceries into the messed up kitchen, grabbed her laptop, and hopped on her motorcycle with Connie again. She followed a trail of footprints that led from her house to a big black building. Lila looked up and saw an enormous sign which said 'Spermatos were here.'

"Oh, for the love of Pete's sake," Lila said to Connie. "These people aren't very good kidnappers, for they came during the day, wore bright colors, left footprints, and wrote on the place they went," she added. She left her motorcycle outside and went inside with Connie and her laptop.

"They even left the door unlocked. Wow, these are terrible villains," she pointed out quietly as she and Connie sneaked in silently. She looked around, saw more black, some windows and a massive machine. Lila observed the title of the device, which read 'Knitting Needle Destroyer.' She just finished reading it when she heard a maniacal laugh. She turned around and was shocked when she saw who it was.

"Armando Marchino?" she asked, believing this was the boy (who was now a man) that always teased her when she was in grade school.

"Lila Harold!?!? How did you find my hideout?" Armando asked with his Italian accent, which was as thick as his short, greasy black hair.

"Well, let me think. Your henchmen came during the day; they were wearing bright, really memorable Spermato Cirque du Soleil costumes, they left footprints to their travel destination, they wrote 'Spermatos were here' on the door and left it unlocked," Lila explained. "And where are Chary and Patch?" she added.

"First, you will address me as Dr. Armando; second, your human friend is right here," Armando began as he stepped to the side, showing Chary tied up over a big pit of lava! "And third, your dog friend is caged. Spermatos!" Dr. Armando exclaimed. The two Spermato guys ran up, grabbed Lila, and put Connie into the cage where Patch was locked up.

"Put the girl with the other one so we can get rid of both of them!" Dr. Armando commanded the Spermatos.

"Yes, boss," replied the Spermatos. They went into the room where Chary was over the lava and tied Lila to her. After the henchmen pushed a button, the girls slowly descended to the pit of lava.

"You know, this is totally not how I wanted to die. I was hoping we would solve a few cases, stop some villains, and then I would get married," Chary said, depressed, as they were being lowered down.

Lila looked around quickly. "Chary, relax. We're not going to die today. I just came up with a plan so we can make it out alive, stop Dr. Armando and save the dogs," Lila replied. "Can you swing me over to that ledge?" she asked.

"Okay," Chary said as she began to swing over to the ledge. Finally, they were able to get to the ledge, where Lila pulled out her nail file and tore the rope.

They hopped down from the ledge using the leftover rope. They knocked the guards out so Lila could get her laptop and use her knitting program to knit two dummies that looked like Chary and herself. She tied the models together and put them over the lava pit.

"Chary, you free the dogs, and I'll deal with the machine," Lila said. They sprung into action. Lila opened the controls and was able to switch the locations of the destruction, so when Dr. Armando pushed the start button, the machine would destroy every non-living thing in the room. Suddenly Dr. Armando came in, maniacally laughed, and gasped when he saw Lila.

"What?!?! How did you girls escape? Spermatos!!" he cried out. One of the Spermato henchmen came out. "Explain why these girls aren't over the lava pit or dead?" Dr. Armando asked (or yelled).

"But they were over the lava pit a few seconds ago... Oh," the Spermato said after he looked at the dummies Lila's laptop had knit.

"You know what, it's too late anyway. I will start this machine, and every knitting needle I do not own will be destroyed, and you'll never be able to stop me!" Dr. Armando said.

"Chary, hurry! Dr. Armando is going to start the machine!" Lila yelled out. So Lila grabbed her laptop and ran out of the building with Chary, who was holding the dogs. They hopped on her motorcycle and drove off just before Dr. Armando maniacally laughed, started the machine and the lair. All of the non-living things (as well as the machine itself) turned into black dust.

Before everything turned into dust, Dr. Armando and his Spermato henchmen ran out of the building. After the black dust had settled, Dr. Armando yelled at the top of his lungs.

"You may have won today, but I'll get you, Lila Harold and Chary Charles, and your precious dogs too!" he yelled as the girls and their dogs rode off.

"It looks like we stopped Dr. Armando and saved the world today," Chary said after they arrived back home. The girls then made a plan to fix the front door and get all of the Christmas decorations put back up.

After buying a new door, installing it, and four hours of hard work, the girls finished decorating and cleaning their house. Finally, Christmas Eve came, and at 5 o'clock, their friends came over. They all had a delicious meal (entirely made by Lila) and opened presents.

"I think this was one of the greatest years yet, and I hope all of our new careers will last for a very long time," Lila said. They then had a toast for friends, careers that would go well, and the wishes for a fantastic new year.
