Mixie and Spoore are sitting in the house playing with toys. They are building with wooden building blocks.
Spoore: Look, I built a hamburger!
Mixie: I made a tree!
Spoore: Your tree looks like a yummy lollipop!
The mailman arrives and slides some letters through the mail slot.
Spoore: Let's see if we got the new cooking magazine!
He looks through the papers.
Spoore: No food magazine. Here's a letter. It says: To Agent 551.
Mixie: Open it!
Spoore: It says: To Agent 551, this is the boss. I have set my plan up to rule the world on Monday.
I have created a set of laws that everyone except me and my faithful henchmen must follow!
Number one: No planting trees!
Number two: No eating anything yummy!
Number three: Always bow down to me!
Number four: Tell everyone that I am the best ruler ever!
Number five: Never disagree with anything I say!
If people break any of these laws, I will throw them in the dungeon. FOREVER!!!
From Mister Spooky
Mixie: This doesn't sound good! This spooky guy wants to make us stop eating yummy food! And we have to do everything he says! What do we do?
Spoore: Mom and Dad will know what to do. They should be home from the store any minute.
The twins continue to play with their blocks until their parents come home.
Mixie: Mom! Dad! Mister Spooky is going to take over the world and make us follow all his evil laws! He says we can't eat anything yummy, and we can't plant any trees!
Mom laughs.
Mom: You have an active imagination!
Spoore: No, we aren't pretending! Mister Spooky is real!
Mom: You twins have been watching too much TV!
Dad: Let's go to the new pizza place. You'll forget all about the evil dude.
Mixie and Spoore: Yay! Pizza!
Mixie and Spoore: Yay! Pizza!
The next day, Mixie and Spoore see their mom packing some clothes into her travel bag. Dad comes in the room with his bag packed up.
Spoore: Where are you going?
Dad: We're taking a business trip to New York. We will be back by Tuesday.
Mom: At the store, I saw a poster for babysitters. We got some really good ones for you guys. You'll have a great time!
Spoore: Why can't we come with you?
Dad: It would cost too much money to take you with us. You will have lots of fun here with the babysitters.
Mixie: When are you leaving?
Dad: We need to get going right now! We don't want to be late for the plane!
Mom: Bye, twins! Be good!
Mom and Dad go out the door and load their things into the car. They drive away.
Mixie and Spoore look at each other.
Mixie: Are you thinking what I'm thinking?
Spoore: Yes. Mom and Dad will be gone while Mister Spooky takes over the world. Hopefully our babysitters are superheroes.
The door opens and Emma and Callie walk in.
Emma: Hi! Are you Mixie and Spoore?
Mixie and Spoore: Yes we are!
Mixie and Spoore: Yes we are!
Callie: We are your babysitters! I am Callie, and this is Emma!
Mixie: Nice to meet you!
Spoore: We've never had a babysitter before!
Callie: We will take good care of you! Your parents said we can do anything we want to, as long as we take good care of you!
Emma: And we will!
Spoore: What about Mister Spooky?
Emma: Who's Mister Spooky?
Spoore: He's a creepy guy who wants to rule the world and make us do whatever he says!
Mixie: He even says we can't eat anything that's yummy!
Callie: This is super spooky! How did you find out?
Mixie: We got a letter!
Mixie hands Callie the letter.
Callie: Hmm, this is addressed to Agent 551, at 210 Juniper Way. That's not your address.
Emma: It must have been delivered to the wrong house! And we're lucky it did, or we would have no clue of the terrible events about to take place!
Callie: The return address is for Mr. Spooky, in California.
Spoore: Are we going to try and stop Mr. Spooky?
Callie: It would be quite a long flight!
Mixie: We need to try! I couldn't live with all the evil laws!
Emma: Me either. Let's do this!
Callie: Yes! I will book the tickets. Twins, you and Emma can decide on what you need to bring.
Callie gets out her phone and sits on the couch to book the tickets.
Emma helps the twins up and they look around the house for things they need.
Emma: We need toothbrushes!
Spoore: I will bring some toys to play with!
Mixie: And we should bring clothes for all the days.
Finally, the suitcase is packed with all of their clothes. Callie looks up from her phone.
Callie: Okay, it's booked! We need an adult to get us on the plane, and my uncle works at the airport, so he should be able to help us.
