Spy Team
I Didnt Do It...wait, yes I did.
Cee tackled Garrett to the ground.
Get off me!, Garrett said. Lindy and Logan looked just as
confused as Garrett.
Cee took out her glass handcuffs.
Then she noticed someone that looked like Garrett. In fact,
he matched the exact description of Uh-oh., Tara said
to herself.
I Didnt Do It (Theme Song) + Spy Team (theme song)
2 Days Earlier
Tara sat on the L Train looking at the people around her.
One of them was Emily. They were heading home from
school.
Tara had to stay alert of her surroundings. Lily sent Tara
a mission alert from her silver heart locket in science
class. It happened so suddenly. Tara fell out of her chair
when the necklace started to vibrate. Mr.Hamburger (yes, I
know. Funny name for a science teacher) asked Tara if
she was alright. Im fine. Just um trying to get a
closer look at the Periodic Table of Elements, sir., Tara
replied. To make it even worse, when she reached her
hand on the table next to help her stand up, she pushed a
metal plate over the edge and it fell on her. Along with
three bags of frog guts. Because of that, Tara smelled like
frog intestines, and she still does.
Tara opened her locket to look at the picture of the
suspect she was looking for. He had short brown hair that
flew to one side of his head, dark brown eyes, and he
looked fairly skinny. In the picture, he was wearing a light
blue sweater with a plaid button up shirt under it.
Tara slouched in her seat and looked out the train
window. She spotted a guy who looked similar to the guy
on the picture. She sat straight up to get a better look.
Do you see something?, Emily asked Tara.
Emily doesnt know that Taras a spy. She probably
doesnt even think spies exist.
No! But...um I think Im going to get off at the next
stop., Tara said still staring out of the window.
Um...I dont think so. Dad wants us home by 4:00.,
Emily reminded Tara.
Well pick him up a Worlds #1 Dad mug and tell him Ill
be home by 6:00...maybe., Tara said as she stood up.
But, Emilys words left Taras ears as she exited the
train.
Tara followed the guy with the blue sweater down metal
stairs. He entered a building with a sign on the door that
said Rumble Juice.
She quickly followed him. Inside of the building, it looked
like a smoothie shop. The furniture was colorful and
modern and the feel was cozy.
Tara watched as the boy sat down in the middle of the
smoothie shop with what looked like a group of friends.
Hey Garrett., Tara heard one girl say. The girl had
chestnut hair and dark brown eyes. She looked like a
fashionista and she was really pretty.
Garrett, you look like you saw a ghost., the girl said.
Tara never noticed the look on Garretts face. Look of
guilt, Tara thought.
I think I was followed here, Jasmine., said the boy
who appeared to be Garrett.
Garrett, relax. It was probably nothing., said a girl with
blonde hair and brown eyes.
She had the same looks as a boy who was sitting on the
couch across from her.
Lindy, I think it was a girl. I think Im being stalked.
Quick Delia, guard the door!, Garrett said hiding his face
in the couch cushions.
A girl with dark brown hair, brown eyes, and glasses
patted Garretts back. Yeah, because a little girl is going
to beat you up real bad. Garrett, take your face out of the
cushions., Delia said.
I think maybe someone likes Garrett., said the girl with
blonde hair.
Lindy, its probably his mom making sure hes wearing
his sanitary socks., said the boy that looked like Lindy.
Tara walked out from behind the wall.
Ahh! There she is!, Garrett pointed in Taras direction.
Tara had to think quick.
Hi. Im um Cee and Im new to the local school that you
go to., Tara lied.
Emily had no idea why Tara got off the train at some
random stop. What was she going to tell dad? He would
freak.
Next stop, 1 W Division St., the announcer said.
Emily remembered that 1 W Division St. was where
she and her mom used to get her favorite frozen yogurt.
Emily decided to get off at that stop.
As Emily walked down the sidewalk she spotted
Yogurtland.
Emily opened the door and walked in. She grabbed one
of the cups for yogurt and went to the faucet that said
Cake Batter.
Emily was topping her yogurt with sprinkles when she
felt a tap on her shoulder. She turned around to see the
person she least expected.
Hey Steve., she said.
Hey Emily. What a coincidence that we both come here
after school., Steve replied.
Emily laughed and walked to the counter to pay for her
yogurt. She still liked Steve, but she learned not to get
crazy jealous over him.
Emily, can we talk?, Steve asked Emily after she
paid for her yogurt.
Yeah, sure., Emily said without thinking.
Um...I want to ask out Tara. Do you think that will be
ok with your parents?, Steve asked.
Emily steadied her breathing. She didnt want to get
mad, it wasnt a good look on her.
Ill talk them into it. Lawyer Emily to the rescue., Emily
said with a fake smile.
Ok. Thanks, bye., Steve said as he started to walk
away.
Wait!, Emily said.
Steve turned around. Yeah.
Was that all you wanted to talk about?, Emily asked.
Well...um...yeah. Thats all, really., Steve said with a face
that looked like he was thinking hard.
Emily grabbed Steves shoulders and kissed him. Right
on the lips. It lasted for like 2 seconds, but Emily felt like it
was for eternity.
Steve backed away. Wo, Emily. I didnt, but-, Steve
was lost in his own words.
Steve, I like you. I thought it was time you knew that. Ill
ask my mom and dad if you could ask Tara on a date. But
just know that I really like you., Emily said starting to walk
away.
Wait, Steve said, I do have more to say. I really like
you. I was pretending to like Tara to see if you liked me.
Youre a really cool girl, ever since kindergarten. But since
were such close friends, I didnt know what you would
say., Steve said with a slight smile.
Emily smiled back. Looks like we both learned
something new.
Um...ok, Lindy said looking at Garrett. Clearly, Cee just
wanted to make some new friends.
Garrett looked up, So you're not trying to kill me?, he
asked.
Where would you get that idea from?, Cee asked a little
suspicious.
Ok, well...Im Lindy. This is Jasmine, Logan, and Delia.
Clearly you already know Garrett., Lindy pointed at each
one of her friends.
Im Cee Rovera., Tara lied again.
Wait, so does Cee like Garrett...or not?, Logan
asked confused.
Did you not just hear the five minute conversation we
just had?, Delia asked.
No. I was texting Aaron. I heard something about a girl
named Bea that didnt want to make new friends. I didnt
hear the rest., Logan replied.
You didnt hear the first part either., Delia said.
Tara (Cee) pulled glasses out of a pocket in her
backpack. She put them on and looked Logan up and
down. She didnt think someone could act that stupid and
not be a criminal mastermind.
Scanning-Logan Watson, attends Dinka High,
accomplishments, Best Friends: Delia Delfano, Garrett
Spenger, Jasmine Kang. Girlfriend: Aaron. Family-Cee
looked the other direction so the scanner would stop
giving her information.
Its impossible for someone to just naturally be
that dumb, Tara thought to herself.
Why were you just staring at me?, Logan asked Cee.
Um...I was...um...checking that I was wearing my
glasses and not my...sisters?, Cee said hoping Logan
would buy it.
Ok, cool., Logan said.
Idiot, Cee thought.
Well ok, Cee, this is Rumble Juice. Its our regular
hangout. Do you want a smoothie?, Jasmine asked in a
kind voice.
That reminds me, Garrett said, I have a job here!. He
rushed to the kitchen and hurried to put on an apron.
Tara took out a notepad: Disguise Job-Rumble Juice,
she scribbled on the paper.
Emily sat on the train. She was on her way home, and
she sat across from Steve. She wasnt shy at all about the
whole kiss thing. She just wanted to stare into his eyes.
Steve seemed a little nervous about the fact that Emily
had the guts to approach him, but he didnt do the same
with her.
Next stop, Jefferson St., said the announcer in the
train.
That was where Emily got off; then she would walk a
block to her house.
The train finally stopped and Emily got up.
Wait Emily!, Steve said running out of the train right
before the doors closed.
So...um, could I walk home with you?, Steve asked.
Sure., Emily said.
Steve and Emily were silent for 5 minutes. Then Steve
decided to say something.
So...you like me?
Yeah. Youre really cool and nice, and sweet, and
devoted, and kind of cute-, Emily said.
Kind of?, Steve joked.
Emily giggled.
So do you like want to hang out some time?, Steve
asked Emily.
Emily looked at her phone. She was looking to see her
reflection. She felt like a different person. The way she had
so much confidence with Steve. But her mom would say
no.
Are you asking me on a date?, Emily asked.
Yeah. After school on Friday, do you want to go see Paul
Blart: Mall Cop 2?, Steve asked nervously.
Of course., Emily said.
She was trying to get Steve to look at her and not feel
so nervous.
Emily arrived at her front door. She said bye to Steve
and walked inside.
She didnt see Tara anywhere, so she guessed that she
was off somewhere.
Emily, Tara, is that my two babies?, Mrs.Ellie asked
from the living room.
Just one of them mom. Tara went...out., Emily said
confused at her own words.
Oh, ok sweetie. Could you come here for a second?
Emily headed to the living room. Yes mom?
How was your day? What did you learn? Why do you
sound like you're hiding something?, Mrs.Ellie
interrogated Emily.
Dang, shes good, Emily thought.
Mom...dont get mad. But a boy asked me out., Emily
said excitedly.
Thats great! How did you tell him no?, Mrs.Ellie's blue
eyes stared deep into Emilys face.
It was a look that Mrs.McHenly (Mrs.Ellie) would use to
intimidate the girls into telling her the truth. But it was
really just a smile.
Well...I actually said yes., Emily said crossing her
fingers.
Mrs.Ellie sighed. Ok, Emily. So you like this guy?
Yes mom...please let me go on the date with him.
I have to talk to David about this. Sweetie, youre just
too young. Being caught up with boys at your age can
affect your emotions and school work. Let me talk to your
father and get his opinion.
Emily sighed. It was hard enough to get through Mom,
but Dad was like taking down a 300 pound linebacker.
Emily went to her room and sat on her bottom bunk on
the bunk bed that she and Tara shared. She put her hand
under her pillow and pulled out a mini CD player. She put
in some headphones and listened to a mix tape of her
favorite hits.
Emily fell asleep listening to music.
One last time, I need to be the one, that takes you
high. One last time, I promise after that Ill let you
go, Emily heard. It was her phone ringing. Her ringtone
was her favorite song by Ariana Grande called One Last
Time.
Conversation on phone:
Emily: Hello?
Other End: Is this Emily Elizabeth Farrell?
Emily: This is she.
Other End: This is Owen; from math camp.
Emily opened her eyes and sat up straight.
Emily: Hey Owen. Its been a while.
Owen was Emilys best friend every summer when she
went to math camp.
Owen: I was just calling to tell you that in 2-4 weeks we
have a special math camp out of state.
Emily: Sweet! Give me the deets.
Owen: Its in Denver, Colorado. Well be studying
architecture, graphs, whatnot. Only five of us from math
camp got selected and you and I were two of them.
Emily literally dropped her phone. Getting selected for an
exclusive trip would look great on her records.
Emily: Thanks so much Owen! Ill talk to my parents about
it.
Emily knew her parents would say yes to that.
Owen: OK. I really hope you get to come.
Emily: Dont worry Owen. The next time I see you will be
at the Denver Airport.
Owen: OK. Hope to see you soon Emi.
Emily: See you soon Owen.
Emily ran out of her room to go tell her mom the good
news. Her mom said yes before she even heard the whole
story and gave Emily a bear hug.
Im so happy sweetie. In a few weeks, you get to go A
Mile High, Emilys mom said.
It was 11:00pm on a school night and Tara just got back
home. The first thing she did was go to the backyard in the
rain. It was spring time so the weather was starting to
change. She climbed the tree house and got her journal.
She then quickly ran back inside.
Tara realized that it was important to hide her journal
because it held top secret information about missions, and
if Emily ever found it, her cover would be blown.
Everyone was asleep when Tara got home so it wasnt
hard to sneak upstairs into her room.
Tara grabbed a flashlight and a pen and started writing
down what just happened.
11:08pm
I just got back from Rumble Juice where I was
acting as a character named Cee. I met Jasmine
Kang, Logan Watson, Lindy Watson, Delia Delfano,
and Garrett Spenger. Thats my target. Hes
really good at playing dumb, but I suspect
something wrong here.
Tomorrow I am going to their high school, Dinka
High and getting more information on the target. If
Im lucky, Ill make an arrest.
Its been so annoying having to deal with missions
by myself since Enrique has the flu. Especially
because its better be out late at night in CHICAGO
with someone else VS. being by yourself.
After I left Rumble Juice, I tried to head home,
but Lily had to talk to me. Apparently there is an
enemy in another state who knows all about Spy
Team International. Lily said that this person is very
dangerous and it might be one of our most life
threatening missions yet. Considering the fact that
Ive jumped off of burning buildings and fought
foreign spies, I was a little scared.
Lily will give us more information if the situation
gets worse.
After that I decided to watch a movie in the
planetarium (yes, headquarters is that big) at
headquarters with Mandy. Charley invited her and
Mandy didnt want to say anything stupid in front
of the guy she liked. So she asked me to help her
keep her secret a secret.
I basically ran home after that and now Im here
about to go to bed.
Ok, well thats it for me. Goodnight book of
secrets.
Tara closed her journal and put it under her pillow. She
fell asleep so fast that she forgot to put the pen away and
she jabbed herself in the back. Ow!, she mumbled as
she snapped the pen in half and threw it off the top bunk.
Tara looked at herself in the mirror at the organization.
She hated wearing dresses and skirts, but today she was
undercover. She was wearing a striped shirt that was so
loose that she had to wear an undershirt under it. She had
a blue skirt on with a small, leather, brown belt with cool
patterns holding it up. She put her hair in a ponytail (which
she also hated for some reason) and wore 3 inch high
heels. The high heels had blue soles and the rest was red.
Tara was wearing a designer backpack, and some
makeup.
In a way, she kind of liked the look. But at the same time
she hated it.
Tara walked into Dinka High like a boss. She made
sure to walk in super confidently like Lily said. Tara had to
look, act, and dress completely opposite of yesterday to
make suspect Garrett suspicious. If he had unusually
weird behavior, than Tara knew that was the guy she was
looking for.
Tara spotted Jasmine near lockers parallel from the
school entrance.
Hey girl., Tara said to Jasmine.
Jasmine looked shocked. Cee you look...so different from
yesterday. I like your new look.
Tara (Cee) liked Jasmine. Thanks. Have you seen
Garrett?
Why, do you actually like him?, Jasmine joked.
Cee thought of what would be the best way to respond.
No, hes just...interesting.
Um, ok., Jasmine blurted. Hes in the cafeteria with
Deils, Logan, and Lindy.
Thanks., Tara said as she strutted to the cafeteria.
She stood right next to Garrett. Oh,
Heyyyyyyyyyy...Cee?, Garrett asked confused.
Yep. I changed my style? What do you think?, Cee
asked.
Garrett looked at Cee suspiciously, Why did you ask
me?
Your opinion is very important to me.
Thats weird.
Logan butted in the conversation. Garrett, its the first
time a girl cares about what you say, just answer her.
Cee gave Logan are sarcastic smile.
Garrett looked Cee up and down and shook his head.
Tara sensed tension. Whats wrong, Garrett?, Cee asked
sternly.
Garrett stood. Nothing.
Cee grabbed an apple juice box and squirted Garrett in
the eye with it. Aww, my eyes!, Garrett exclaimed
grabbing napkins.
Cee tackled Garrett to the ground.
Get off me!, Garrett said. Lindy and Logan looked just as
confused as Garrett.
Cee took out her glass handcuffs.
Then she noticed someone that looked like Garrett. In fact,
he matched the exact description of Uh-oh., Tara said
to herself.
Tara got off of Garrett. Im so sorry! No hard feelings.,
Cee said quickly.
She took off one of her heels and threw it at the person
who matched the description.
Im pretty sure you know what happened after that. Cee
(Tara) took in the real criminal. And Lily basically rewarded
her with a high-five.
Sorry., Cee said as she hugged Garrett.
Yeah, ok., Garrett replied in an awkward tone.
And that was the time I met Lindy, Logan, Delia,
Jasmine, and lets not forget Garrett. P.S. Do any of
them sound familiar to you? ;)
Tara closed her journal and stuffed it in her backpack
as she walked to school. She heard a clicking noise and
realized she was still wearing her heels. She quickly took
them off and threw them in the nearest bush in exchange
for tennis shoes.
The End! Thanks for reading, and dont forget to watch I
Didnt Do It on Disney Channel!
