Totally Spies! A New Life

Chapter Twenty-Seven: Virtual Reality

Through the coming days since the assignment in Japan, Alexander, the little kitten of Alice's, soon got along with Alex, Sam, and Clover, but mostly with Alice and Braedey, the little kitten sometimes sleeping on the bluenette's head when Alice goes to bed. In addition, the real estate people don't mind the Spies having a kitten in the household, as long as Alexander doesn't cause any issues. The Spies reassured the real estate people that Alexander will be well-behaved and taught to listen and behave, while also being an indoors cat, since Alice didn't want to lose her only precious animal.

At the same time, Braedey has set up some new forms to change into, some male and female, among some other things, so he could blend in or stand out amongst the crowds. Also, he took in Sam, Alex, Alice, and Clover's forms in case something happens. It was a bit strange for the others, but when Braedey explained that they were 'in case of emergency', they knew it was something that may deceive and/or trick their enemies.

On a stormy Friday, the rain thundered down for hours on end, as lightning struck across the blackened skies above, while thunder echoed all around. Heavy storms plagued the whole of Beverly Hills day and night, and the storm damage was severe. All around everyone, everything was wet, wet, and even wet. Even the beaches were not a place to be, as huge waves battered the beaches and sea walls.

At the Spies' home, Alex, Sam, and Clover looked outside to the backyard, only to see a soaking wet area, all of which was atrocious to even stare at. At the same time, a flash of lightning would cross the skies, accompanied with a clap of thunder.

"So much for trying on a new bikini at the beach." Clover muttered in frustration. "And I was getting ready to catch some rays."

"I'm with you, Clove." Sam agreed, which doesn't usually happen. "I was planning to go shopping at 'The Groove'."

"Hold on a second." Alex got the two's attention. "Where are Braedey and Alice?" She wondered.

The three looked around, then they heard what sounded like revving engines from upstairs, and screeching tyres. This made the three Spies curious as to what they were up to. So, they both headed upstairs, and as hey do so, they could see some sort of light coming in from the doorway to the spare bedroom.

This room wasn't used at all for the Spies, but Braedey, asking permission to use it, had outfitted the entire place into a gamer's room. There were two Xbox Ones, combined with two TVs next to one another, while there was an assortment of games, headsets, controllers, along with joysticks and throttle controllers for flight simulators, racing, and other simulator-like games.

As Alex, Sam, and Clover peer around the doorway to look into the room, they could see both Alice and braedey, the two of them laughing their heads off, as they were playing Forza Horizon 3 on Online Multiplayer.
