Fonziebirds: So Much For A Vacation

[Race's Girl]

Chapter 1- Viva Las Vegas

About 15 miles away northeast from Area 51, a top secret military base, lies the Nevada Maximum Security Prison. Where all the sick and screwed-up criminals caught by the FBI, CIA and sometimes International Rescue go. It was about 2330 hours and a black 1955 Blue Chevy was at the main gate, about to leave the prison. One of the prison guards dressed in blue stopped the car and knocks on the windscreen of the driver's door. The window slid down. A man in a Las Vegas Metropolitan Police uniform with Oakley shades and police hat was sitting in the car. The black nametag read 'THOMPSON' in thin white letters.

"Hey, Officer Thompson, leaving so soon?" the guard asked giving a smile.

"Yeah," Thompson answered. "It's my wife's birthday!"

The guard was happy for his friend and smiled. "Tell her I said hi. Kel, open the gate!"

An African-American man in blue who was sitting in the toll booth activated one of the leavers. The giant titanium door slowly slide opened. When it was completely open, the Chevy quickly rode off into the cold night desert. Meanwhile, the warden in a blue uniform was doing his usual night rounds. Passing by a couple of glass door cells on the 3rd floor, he looked to his left, where all the prison cells were. The convicts looked back at him, some with angry faces while others smiled at him. When he passed by the last cell, his eyes widened.

"What the heck!" The warden exclaimed, he took out his black Motorola radio and held it infront of his mouth. "Prisoner 52347 has escaped! I repeat, prisoner 52347 has escaped!"

Within seconds, the sirens had sounded and lights from the guard towers activated, flashing the beams at the building. Annoying everyone who's sleeping.

It was Friday on Tracy Island. And as usual, the boys had come home from school and college. The door of the villa opened. Warren a.k.a 'Potsie', Ralph, Richard a.k.a 'Richie' and Charles a.k.a 'Chachi' entered looking very tired. Potsie was in a yellow sweater with a blue shirt underneath, light blue jeans and black loafers, Ralph was wearing a striped cardigan sweater, a red checked shirt, blue jeans and lofers, Richie was wearing a red sweater over a pink shirt, blue jeans and loafers and Alex had his orange tank top on with his dark green jacket, blue jeans and sneakers. Richie jumped onto the couch and closed his eyes, Ralph and Potsie went to get a drink at the kitchen while Chachi went to his room and closed the door to change.

"What a day!" Ralph yelled as he left the kitchen and stepped his foot into the living room.

The door of Chachi's room open. Chachi walked out wearing his green bathing trunks. "Tell me about it!"

Richie, Ralph and Potsie looked at Chachi and they too got back to their rooms and changed to their bathing suits. After doing so, together they went for a dip in the jacuzzi. Just then, the calm water started spinning. The boys screamed in terror as a whirlpool sucked them into one of the tunnels that lead to their father Howard's office.

"Dad, why now?" Chachi shouted.

Like a water slide from the water park, the boys slid down the tunnel before plunging onto the couch by Howard's desk. Their father, who wa wearing a black suit and tie, stood in front of them. Expecting a few complains from the boys, he grinned and put his hands in the pockets of his black pants.

"Good afternoon, Boys." Howard greeted, still grinning at them.

"Great, another damn mission." Potsie mumbled to herself in anger.

"Dad, we're really tired. We've just got back from the most tiring day of our lives. Can't you get another team to do it?" Ralph requested.

"You really want another team to go on this vacation?"

"Vacation!" The boys got excited. Their eyes and smiles widened. It had been a long time since their last vacation.

"Yes. An all expense pay trip to Las Vegas!"

"Cool!" Chachi exclaimed.

"Like, wow!" Ralph and Potsie excitedly said together.

"Now you're talking." Richie said smiling widely at his father.

"Can I come?" A voice cried out. It was Al, Howard's assistant.

Howard raised an eyebrow and said "I'm sorry, Al, but you're stuck here with me."

The boys eagerly got off the couch and walked over to the walkway which lead them to the equipment room. Howard pressed a button on his computer and the walkway moved. A grey wall opened up and they entered the equipment room.

"Al." Howard said and snapped his fingers. In a flash, their wet bathing suits changed to dry outfit. They were all wearing suits, shirts, ties and shoes like Howard.

"SPF50 sunblock that will protect you from the sun." Howard said as Al passed the sunblock to Potsie.

"Also help yourself to our IR Platinum Credit Card." Howard muttered and Al gave the card to Ralph.

"And finally, I trust you boys will like this." Howard took out a key from his pocket. It had the keys to the Fonziebirds on it. The boys got even more excited.

"The keys to our Fonziebirds!" Richie said as Chachi grabbed the key from Howard and looked at them excitedly.

"Since your outfit changing pendants can change the look of your clothing, your luggage is filled with toiletries instead." Howard ushered them to the hangars of the Fonziebirds. "Goodboy, Boys!" Howard waved after the Fonziebirds left.

It was a Saturday afternoon in Las Vegas, Nevada. Located at the east side of the ever busy Las Vegas Strip was a beautiful building. It was painted white with gold touches, 55 stories high, a rooftop swimming pool and it was regarded as a 5 star hotel. Fonziebirds 1, 2 and 3 stopped in front of the hotel. The teen agents got out and passed the keys to the valet parkers who then parked the Fonziebirds for them. Acting like young millionaires, they enter the building. Inside, there are people going to their rooms, checking out of the hotel, drinking beer at the bar and trying their lucks at the casino. A woman in a brown suit, white shirt and black tie spotted them and she walked briskly towards them.

"Hi!" the man in her mid 20's greeted. "You must be Potsie, Ralph, Richie and Chachi."

"And who are you?" Potsie asked as he crossed his arms.

"I'm Danielle McCoy. One of the security officers in the hotel." the brown haired woman answered. She gave a smile and showed her pearl white teeth. "Your dad called me and said you've got reservations. C'mon, let me show you to your room."

On the fifth floor of the luxury hotel corridor, Danielle lead the boys to their room. At every luxury door passed, Danielle counted the room numbers until the final right turn. Their room was at the corner of a dead end.

"...5235, 5237 and finally 5239." Danielle said as she took out the key card and slotted it in the lock. Then, the door opened. "Here's your room, Boys!"

Finally, it was the moment of truth. The boys entered excitedly and saw that the penthouse room had 4 handsome single beds, a balcony and a movie screen television.

Potsie turned to Danielle and said "Thanks for the room, Danielle."

"Pleasure's all mine, Potsie."

"It's not like we're gonna stay here forever anyway." Ralph said.

"Good 'cause I wanna go for a swim." Potsie announced.

"A swim?" Chachi and Richie asked.

"Gee, Potsie, we just got here. Don't you wanna get something to eat?" Richie asked.

"Who cares about food when there's chicks waiting." Potsie took out his outfit changing pendant. He pressed a button and his clothes changed to a pair of blue bathing trunks.

"Wow.. he's hot!" Danielle muttered softly under her breath.

"Pots, you're not wearing that are you?" Ralph asked trying to look away at Potsie's reveling body.

"My handkerchief has more fabric than what you're wearing, Potsie." Richie said commenting on Potsie's trunks.

"C'mon guys, this is Las Vegas. Who wants guys dressed in bathing suits!" Potsie answered back. As he walked out of the room, Ralph, Richie and Chachi tried to avoid looking at Potsie.

"We better come along just in case he gets into trouble." Richie said taking out his pendant and pressed a button. His clothes changed to his striped trunks.

"Again." Ralph and Chachi added. They took out their pendants and pressed a button. Ralph's clothes changed to his red bathing trunks and Chachi's turned into his green bathing trunks.

The noys reached the rooftop swimming pool. There were teenage girls dressed in bikinis and hot, muscular guys dressed in their shorts in and around the pool. Potsie's eyes widened and he started to drool.

"Ewwwww!" Ralph said waving in front of Potsie's eyes to get his attention.

"Watch and learn, Gentlemen!"

Before the others could say anything, Potsie was already running towards the pool. But he bumped into a blonde 20 year old woman.

"Watch where you're going, Tubby!" The woman cried out angrily. She used her right hand to grab Potsie's right arm.

"Get off me!" Potsie demanded and struggled to get free from the woman's hold.

Another woman grabbed the blonde's left arm and said "You heard him. He said get off him." As Potsie turned around, he saw a dark haired woman wearing a white blouse and blue jeans.

"So, what's it to you, you cow? You're looking for trouble?" the blonde spoke back and pushed the brunette. The brunette pushed the blonde back. The blonde grabs her blouse and raised her right hand and clenched into a fist.

"You want me to call casino security?"

"You're dead, Loretta Campbell." the blonde yelled as she lowered her arm and walked off.

"You okay?" The brunette asked after the blonde walked off.

Potsie froze and blushed. He looked at the brunette in the eye. It was clear that he was falling in love with her. "Yeah, I'm fine!"

"The name's Loretta. What's yours?" Loretta asked, knowing by the look on Potsie's face.

"Warren but most people call me Potsie."

"Hey, maybe we could meet later on... say like about 6:30? I know a place we can hang out." Loretta offered and smiled, showing her white pearl teeth.

"Okay."

"See you at the lobby at 6:30" She kissed his left cheek and left. Potsie was very pleased.

[Race's Girl]

Chapter 2- Okay, What Happened?

The left gold painted elevator door opened. Potsie stepped outside and looked around. He was wearing an unbuttoned denim jacket, a blue checked shirt, blue jeans and black boots. He spotted Loretta standing by a gold painted trash can looking at the paintings hanging on the pink luxury hotel wall. Unaware that Potsie was looking at her. She was dressed in an unbuttoned blue cotton jacket, a white blouse, a blue skirt and brown high heels.

"Loretta!" Potsie called out and walked over to her.

Loretta turned around and spotted Potsie. "Hey, Potsie! C'mon, let's go somewhere and eat."

Loretta put her arm around Potsie's neck and lead him out from the hotel to her parked 1956 DeSotto.

"Is that yours!" Potsie asked.

"No. I rented it!"

She blushed in embarrassment as she opened the passenger door. The door magically opened up like a scissors. Loretta held Potsie's hand while he entered the car. Loretta closed the door before driving off into the Las Vegas strip.

Put your sweet lips a little closer to the phone
Let's pretend that we're together all alone
I'll tell the man to turn the juke box way down low
And you can tell your friend there with you he'll have to go

Whisper to me tell me do you love me true
Or is he holding you the way I do
Though love is blind make up your mind I've got to know
Should I hang up or will you tell him he'll have to go

You can't say the words I want to hear
While you're with another man
Do you want me answer yes or no
Darling I will understand

Put your sweet lips a little closer to the phone
Let's pretend that we're together all alone
I'll tell the man to turn the juke box way down low
And you can tell your friend there with you he'll have to go

"He'll Have To Go. Haven't heard that since I left town." Loretta said as she entered the restaurant. Jim Reeves' 'He'll Have To Go' was playing softly in the background.

The waiter ushered the couple to their table, which was located at the very corner of the restaurant. They sat down and the waiter took their orders. While waiting, they had a light conversation.

"So, Loretta, you're from DC. So what are you doing here?" Potsie asked.

"I've got a.. job here as a security officer in the Marriott Vegas Hotel. It's a very tough job."

"Wow, no wonder you not afraid to save me back there. But there's one thing I don't get it. How did he knew your name?"

Loretta started sweating despite the air conditioning turned on at full blast. Before Loretta could answer, the waiter had came with their food. After eating, they left the restaurant and rode back to the Hotel.

"Hey uh.. You wanna crash at my place for awhile?" Loretta asked hoping that Potsie won't reject her offer.

"Sure!" Potsie answered looking forward to it.

The white hotel door of room 357 opened. Potsie and Loretta stepped into the room. Potsie's eyes sparkled as he looked around. The room had a big bathroom, 1 king size bed, a great view of the city and a 24-inch screen plasma television.

"I'm gonna change for a moment, you mind waiting?"

"Sure."

Loretta grabbed a towel and heads for the bathroom. When the door closed, Potsie sat on the giant bed. It felt soft, warm and comfortable. He started lying and spotted something gray under the pillows. Curious, he grabbed the gray cloth and spread it in front of him. It was a Prison shirt with long sleeves. On the left pocket, it had the numbers 52347 and 'NEVADA STATE MAXIMUM SECURITY PRISON' in small white letters. Potsie was taken a back.

What's a prison uniform doing in here? he thought.

Just then, the sound of the bathroom door opening made Potsie hide the shirt under the bed. Loretta came out wearing a pink silk negleigee. She dimmed the lights before joining Potsie on the bed.

With a few shopping bags on their hands, Ralph, Richie and Chachi were refiled to finally be back at their hotel room after a shopping spree in downtown Las Vegas. Ralph wore an unbuttoned dark blue denim jacket with a blue shirt underneath, light blue jeans and sneakers, Richie wore a green gingham shirt, a red sweater, blue jeans and lafoers and Chaci wore a red sweater vest, a light blue shirt, dark blue denim jeans and sneakers. They walked out of the lift and walked over to their room. When they got there, there was a note hanging on the door knob.

"Hey, what's this?" Chachi asked as he took the note. On top of a black background, were the words 'LEATER & THE SUEDES' in block letters and a few pictures of the band.

Ralph took the note out from the door knob and held it infront of his eyes. "It says Leather & the Suedes coming to perform at 9:30pm on May 16th. That's tonight!" he said.

"Should we tell Potsie? I mean Leather's his favorite female singer!" Richie said looking at Ralph while slotting the key card into the slot and opened the door.

"I bet he's busy with Loretta. Remember what happened when we called him last night?" asked Chachi.

They entered the room and locked the door. Chachi and Richie sat on their beds and turned the television on while Ralph took a towel from the towel rack and headed for the bathroom.

"I'm gonna bathe for awhile." Ralph called out to his younger brothers.

"Okay!"

Ralph closed the door and hung the towel on a metal pole with Potsie's towel. As soon as he was undressed, he drawed the shower curtain and turned on the shower. The warm water showered on him and he started singing Walk On Buy

If I see you tomorrow on some street in town
Pardon me if I don't say "Hello" (hello)
I belong to another, it wouldn't look so good
To know someone I'm not supposed to know

While he was singing and putting soap on his body, the lights started flickering. His eyes widened in shock and his heart skipped a beat.

"Rich, Chach! Is that you playing with the lights?" Ralph shouted but there was no response.

The lights stopped flickering. It was dark. Feeling angry and annoyed, he tried to leave the bath tub but slipped on the wet surface and hit his head on the side of the tub.

"Ow!" he screamed. Ralph put his hand on his forehead and rubbed it.

Meanwhile, Chachi and Richie were happily watching American Bandstand when the lights in the room started flickering. Richie looked over to the light switch. No one was touching it. Feeling scared, he put the blanket over himself to cover it. Then the flickering stopped. The lights came back on. Without a second taught, he rushed over to the bathroom door, knocking very hard on it. Ralph rushed out with a towel covering her body.

"Rich, Chach? Was that you playing with the lights?" Ralph yelled angrily at his younger brothers. There was also blood oozing out from the left side of his forehead.

"Oh, Ralph! Somebody was playing with the lights! I was so scared that I rushed over to you!" Richie said in a terrified tone.

"So, if it's not you... then who is it?"

Chapter 3- To Tell The Truth.

Somewhere at a restaurant in E Evans Ave, Potsie and Loretta were having a meal. Both were wearing the same clothes as yesterday's. Potsie's watch phone started ringing. He took it out from his denim jacket and answered it. As he was taking it out, 2 police officers entered and stopped to talk to one of the waiters. Loretta looked up and saw the officers. Her eyes widened and started to pale. "Oh no!"

"What?"

"Potsie! We've gotta get outta here!" Loretta cried. She grabbed Potsie's right arm and dragged him out of the resturant and into the streets along with him. The move accidentally made him drop his watch. They went over to the parked DeSotto and Loretta forced the left door open.

"What the... Why!" Potsie getting a bit annoyed as he looked at Loretta trying to get the door open.

"The keys! Give me the keys!" Loretta cried.

Potsie passed the keys and stared blankly at Loretta as he slotted in the keys, opened the door and started the car. Then it happened. The 2 police officers rushed out of the resturant and spotted the DeSotto. Without a taught, they ran as fast as they could to the car. Yelling 'freeze' and 'stop right there.' When Potsie saw that, he froze, like a dummy. Curious onlookers stared at the action. Then he moved and got into the DeSotto. The high beams flashed down the tarmac as Loretta stomped on the gas pedal. The car accelerated like a NASCAR leaving after a quick pit stop. The officers ran back to their LVMPD Police Cruiser which was parked 3 feet away from their location and gave chase to the DeSotto.

"Okay, Loretta. Tell me what the heck's going on!"

"As soon as we get out of this chase, okay, Potsie."

"Turn right."

"What!"

"Turn right!"

Following Potsie's advice, the DeSotto took a right turn into Fermont Street. The traffic was less hectic and there was more parking space. Quickly, Potsie took out his pendant from his pocket and pressed a button. The DeSotto's look changed to a pink 1954 Thunderbird. Loretta took a glance at Potsie, she spotted his pendant and stepped on the brake pedal. The Thunderbird came to an abrupt stop. Both Potsie and Loretta were thrown from their seats but their seatbelts stopped them from falling.

Loretta froze and said "You're... you're an International Rescue agent?"

"Pull over!"

Loretta followed Potsie's orders and parked the Thunderbird behind a Yellow Cadillac. Meanwhile, the LVMPD unit who was after them took a sharp turn into Fermont Street with it's lightbars and sirens on. Passing by Loretta and Potsie who were still in the Thunderbird.

"Great, my pendant ran outta juice!" Potsie exclaimed and vigorously shook his pendant.

"You're here to arrest me, aren't you?"

"Well... I might cause you ran away from the cops. How did you know I'm an agent for International Rescue anyway?"

"They're after me. Don't you know?"

"Uh... no. I'm here on a vacation. Are you a wanted woman or something?" Potsie frowned starting to get suspicious.

"Well... yes. But it wasn't my fault. You see, it all started 2 months ago..."

It was Sunday. Usually, at this time of day, people were still sleeping. But for President Issac Eisenhower was to attend a meeting with some world leaders in a classified location.

A 1954 black Lincoln Town Car Limousine was idling outside the White House. It was an A woman with a black suit was sitting in the drivers seat. It was Loretta, waiting patiently for the President to arrive. Suddenly, both rear opened. It was President Eisenhower with some members from the administration. All of them were wearing black suits and ties.

"Driver," President Eisenhower said. "Move. We're 5 minutes late."

"Yes, Mr President." Loretta answered.

The black Lincoln Limousine accelerated out of the White House compound and into Pennsylvania Avenue. The road was still deserted at this time of day. Five minutes later, the car started to lose control.

"Driver, what the hell's going on!" One of the 3 administration members asked.

"It's no me, it's the car!"

Loretta struggled to get the car back in control, but it crashed into an oncoming red Chevy Avalanche before overturning into an upside down mangled mess of metal. Loretta got out unhurt while the President and 2 of his administration members made it with a few scars. The other didn't made through the accident.

A few days later, Loretta was trailed and convicted for hurting the President and killing one of his administration members.

"How unfair!" Potsie commented.

"Life is unfair."

"Where the heck's Potsie? He should be back by now!" Richie asked. Like Chachi, he was dressed in his blue pajamas. His face filled with anger and worry, waiting for Potsie to come back.

"Try calling his watch again." Ralph requested.

Dressed in his green pajamas, Ralph picked his watch up from the bedside table and opened it. But there was still no response from the other line.

"Still no signal, Rich."

"Where could he be?"

"I'm gonna wash up before going to bed."

Richie turned on the lights and entered the bathroom, he grabbed his red toothbrush and squeezed a blob of toothpaste on the bristles of his toothbrush. Looking up on to the mirror, he saw a reflection of himself and the rest of the bathroom behind her. But it felt that someone was watching his from behind. So he turned around but there was nobody. Feeling a little scared, she turned back around and brushed her teeth only to saw a white human figure standing right beside him. It was probaly the Candy Man. Richie stared in horror as the Candy Man slowly grinned and his eyeballs moving slowly and looking straight at Richie from the mirror. Richie dropped her toothbrush, let out a long screech and ran out of the bathroom.

"Rich? What happened?" Ralph asked in concern and curiosity.

Richie breathe hard and busted into tears. "I... I... saw the Candy Man in the bathroom!" he sobbed.

Ralph pulled his younger brother closer to his chest and stroke his hair. "Don't worry, Rich, we'll check out tomorrow."

[Race's Girl]

Chapter 4- Potsie In Trouble

The hotel was still full of people at that time. Richie, Chachi and Ralph got out from the gold painted lift and walked briskly to the receptions desk. When they arrived at the desk, the manager, wearing black pants, a black tie and white shirt. He smiled, ready to attend any requests the boys might have.

"Hi, we'd like to check out." Ralph said as he handed over the key card to the manager. The manager took a look at the card and his eyes widen in shock. Ralph, Richie and Chachi were a bit uneasy at the manager's look but they chose to remain silent.

"Is your room 5239?" The fat manager asked.

Richie raised one of his eyebrows and said "Yeah, can't you read? It's on the card, Bucko."

"Everything all right while you're in there?"

"Yes?"

"Good to hear!" he answered visibly relieved.

"Why? Is something wrong?" Chachi asked. From the tone, he knew that the manager was hiding something.

"Well, a teenager once stayed in that room 2 months ago. I don't know what happened but the police found her dead in the bathtub the next day."

Ralph, Richie and Chachi were speechless. But they stayed calm and tried to flush out the man's story out of their heads. A man in a CSI uniform headed to them and flashed his CSI badge on his right hand.

"CSI. Have you seen this woman?" he asked as he pulled out a picture of Potsie's new girlfriend Loretta cut from her head to her knees with his other hand. In the picture, she was wearing an unbuttoned blue jacket with a red blouse underneath and jeans.

"That girl in the picture looks just like Potsie's girlfriend!" Chachi muttered softly to Ralph and Richie.

"Yeah," Richie whispered making sure it was not heard by the agent. "What did she do?"

"Her name's Loretta Campbell, she escaped from the Nevada Maximum Security Prison 4 days ago." The CSI agent explained.

Ralph, Richie and Chachi gasped. Their eyes widened and jaws dropped. Worried about Potsie, their minds started racing. Wondering what Loretta could have done to him.

"Hello.. boys?"

"Um.. no," Ralph lied snapped and gave a smile. "We haven't seen her. Sorry."

"Thanks for your help. Whatever you do, stay away from her, she's armed and dangerous."

The CSI agent walked over to the manager and asked him a few questions. Ralph, Richie and Chachi looked at each other.

"C'mon, Guys. We've got to get Fonziebird 2 and find Potsie!" Ralph said.

"But where's the parking reception table?" asked Chachi.

They looked around and walked around the hotel to find the parking reception table to get Fonziebird 2.

"Excuse me, but are you 21 or above?" a mysterious voice asked from behind. Richie, Ralph and Chachi ended up at the casino section of the hotel. Where everyone was busy gambling. When stopped by the man, they froze and turned their heads towards him. He wore the brown hotel uniform. Glancing at the bald yet handsome African - American's gold name tag, it read 'Mike Cannon' in block black letters. It was clear that he was one of the hotel staff.

"Oh, gee, sorry. We're kinda lost," Richie said giving an innocent smile and starts to sweatdrop "You know where we can get Fonziebird 2 back?"

"C'mon, right this way." Mike showed them the way to the parking reception table.

Sitting at the parking reception desk, was a blonde attractive woman named Jane. Looking at the paperwork piled up on the desk.

"Hey, Jane! What's up?" Mike asked as they near the reception table.

"The usual, Mike. So what can I do for you?" Jane asked trying to calm down.

"International Rescue, we need the keys to Fonziebird 2 real bad." Ralph said almost begging.

Jane picked up some paperwork that was lying on the desk and glances at it. "It's outback!"

"C'mon, guys," Richie said smiling confidently. "Fonziebirds are go!"

"F.O.N.Z." Ralph and Chachi said together.

Ralph turned to the blonde and said "Hey, Jane... You think you could.."

"Don't worry," Jane answered. "It's in the house."

As Fonziebird 2 roared to life, hotel staff and passer-byres all stared at the beast as Danielle got out with shades covering her brown eyes.

"Here you go, guys." Danielle said passing the key onto Ralph's right palm.

"Thanks, Danielle." Ralph, Richie and Chachi said altogether.

The boys took one last look at Danielle before taking off into the bright lights of the city. With everyone's eyes still glued to the car, The orange GTO accelerates out of the front porch before turning right into the famous Las Vegas strip.

"There's one thing you forgot to tell us, Rich, where're we going?" Chachi asked as Ralph was piloting Fonziebird 2.

"To track Potsie's signal!" the younger redhead answered. He took out his watch and pressed a button. A holographic map of Las Vegas appeared in front of his eyes. It had a blinking red dot on the bottom left hand corner.

"He's at The Marriott." said Richie.

Ralph kicked into 3rd gear and Fonziebird 2 started to move above the speed limit.

Ralph, Richie and Chachi knocked hard on the white hotel door hoping to see Potsie alive behind that door. The door opened. It was Potsie. He was in a light blue shirt and blue jeans. Happy to see their older brother unhurt, Ralph, Richie and Chachi gave Potsie a big hug.

"Woah, I've should have gone away more often." Potsie said.

"Pots, you've got to stay away from Loretta. She's a wanted woman!" Ralph told him.

"That's what I wanna talk to you about. You see Loretta's innocent."

"She is???" Richie, Chachi and Ralph Alex asked with raised eyebrows.

"But I don't get it, Potsie," Richie wondered. "She escaped from the Nevada Maximum Security Prison 4 days ago."

"I did." Loretta said peering from behind wearing a blue jacket, light denim jeans and sneakers.

Quickly, Ralph took out his handgun from his pocket. "Freeze, Loretta! You're under arrest!" Ralph shouted and Loretta raised her arms.

"Ralph, like I was saying, Loretta's innocent." Potsie told his brother.

"Look." Loretta said standing up slowly putting her hands down and told the story to Ralph, Richie and Chachi.

When she finished, there was a knock on the door. Behind the white painted door was a pair of police officers, wearing their black bullet proof vests with the words 'LVMPD' above 'S.W.A.T' in white emblem on top of their police uniforms. They got into a difficult standby position, holding their pistols with both hands, ready for action and also risking their lives to protect innocent lives.

"Police! Open up! Or we're bustin in in 3 minutes." a voice told Loretta.

"It's the cops!" Chachi whispered, being careful not to shout.

"We've gotta get Loretta outta here!" Potsie whispered.

"But the window can't open!" Ralph added.

[Race's Girl]

Chapter 5- Off To Kuala Lumpar

"We've gotta get Loretta outta here!" Potsie whispered.

"But the window can't open!" Richie said.

"We'll make our own window" Ralph said as he took his outfit changing pendant out from under his shirt and pressed the button. His clothes changed to his white jumpsuit with green edges. Complete with the jet pack backpack and expandable cable bungee belt. He took out his light saber from the backpack and cuts a giant rectangle through the thick glass. The glass fell into the rug and the smashed into pieces.

"Hey, Ralph," Chachi said scratching his head. "I don't get it. Why do you always have to lug your gadgets with you?"

"Just in case of an emergency!" Ralph grinned.

"One question," Potsie cried rasing his hand. "How do we get from up here to down there?"

"Everyone grab on," Chachi ordered. "Chachi, we've gotta change into our jumpsuits."

Taking out thier outfit changing pendants, Richie and Chachi pressed a button and their clothes changed to thier International Rescue jumpsuits with the jet pack backpacks and expandable cable bungee belts on. Ralph held onto Loretta while Richie and Chachi hugged Potsie. They activated their jet pack backpacks before descending down the building.

"This is not what I had in mind!" Potsie yelled as they descend down like a floating elevator.

When they reached the ground, they ran towards the parked Fonziebird 2. Chachi, Richie and Ralph's clothes transform to their usual clothing. Richie took out the keys and unlocked the door.

Loretta started to get excited. "Wow. Is that..."

"The infamous Fonziebird 2 and she's mine." Ralph said.

"Sweet!" Loretta cried.

Quickly, they got in Fonziebird 2 with Ralph and Potsie in the cockpit. Fonziebird 2 flew into the sky and raced faster towards the exit. Suddenly, the GTO came to an abrupt stop. Ralph had slammed the brakes. Almost hitting the side of a Black and white 1959 Chevrolet Impala LVMPD Police Cruiser. The officer inside the car glanced at the GTO, the sirens sounded and the lightbars started flashing.

"LVMPD," The cop shouted using the PA system. "Stop right there!"

"Now what?" Loretta asked with her arms open.

"We do this the hard way" Ralph grinned at Loretta. He shifted into gear 1 and Fonziebird 2 accelerated, Leaving black skid marks on the light grey tarmac. The GTO makes a left 90 dregee turn onto the lush green grass before escaping into the busy Las Vegas Strip. The Black and white Impala Police Cruiser made a quick u-turn before following Fonziebird 2.

"All units, all units, this is unit 5427. We're now in pursuit of the infamous Fonziebird 2 heading south on North Las Vegas Boulevard."

"Loretta. You've got your passport?" Richie asked. He was sitting in the back with Chachi and Loretta.

"Yeah. Keep it in my jacket all the time."

"Good. Ralph, head for the airport. We've gotta get her outta here."

"Airport?" Potsie exclaimed. "But I'll never get to see her again!"

"Potsie, I'll always love you no matter what. And... I'll never forget you."

"Um... guys, sorry to disturb you but we've gonna turn black and white if we don't react NOW!"

The others took a glance at the front window and saw a road block of black and white LVMPD police cars. All of them had the sirens and lightbars on. The sidewalk was also blocked so there was no where to go. To make matters worse, a few more cruisers were following them. Ralph looked around and spotted Fonziebird 1 near the tarmac. An idea struck his head.

"I've got an idea!"

"NO!" Potsie, Richie and Chachi yelled thinking that he will do something stupid again.

"Trust me." Ralph turned to look at his brothers and nodded like a taxi driver.

"You're not gonna do that move again, are you?" Richie asked as he eyes widened.

"Oh yes I am. Hi Ho Sliver!"

Ralph grinned, remembering one of her old mission where had was in the same situation. He stepped on the clutch and shifted into 5th gear. The GTO was accelerating about a 175 miles per hour towards the ramp as it grabbed Fonziebird 1. The Police cruisers that were pursuing the two Fonziebirds stopped to a halt while hitting each other, causing chaos at the Las Vegas Strip.

Later, the Fonziebirds hit the ramp and went airborne over the road block. Police officers and passer byers looked in horror at Fonziebirds 1 & 2 flying over at about 3 feet above the ground. Richie and Chachi, who were in Fonziebird 2 and Potsie and Loretta, who were in Fonziebird 1 all closed their eyes and screamed in terror. And before they knew it, the two Fonziebirds continued flying. Despite the impact of the jump, Fonziebird 1 still looked looked new. Some cruisers from the road block followed both Fonziebirds.

"Let's do that again!" Chachi said.

"Are you crazy?" Richie asked. "We've could have been killed!"

There was a long pause. Fonziebirds 1 & 2 were still flying above the traffic. Ralph and Potsie were getting restless and 3 Impala Police Cruisers were chasing them. Even a police black helicopter was following them.

"Control, this is air unit 35. We've got visual of the suspect, now heading south on Paradise Avenue."

A black police helicopter with a couple of Chevy Impala Cruisers were pursuing the Orange GTO as it turns right on Paradise Avenue. Mixed with the traffic on Paradise Ave, was a Black and white LVMPD Ford Crown Victoria. Heading south towards the airport.

"Been a cop for 20 years now and I'm still stuck in city patrol."

"All units we've got a report of a orange Pontiac heading towards the airport on Paradise Avenue."

"We got a live one." Terry said to himself.

Terry switched on the lightbars and sirens as the Orange Pontiac GTO passed by him with 3 other Impala Police Cruisers. Terry then accelerates the car and joined the chase.

"Attention all units. This is air unit 35, do not let the suspect near the airport. I repeat, do not let them near the airport!"

Meanwhile, About 4 blocks from Fonziebirds 1 & 2's location, a roadblock was setup by using police cruisers. A SWAT team was also standing by with their rifles and bullet proof vests on top of their police uniforms.

"Oh no. What now!"

"Ralph..." Richie said as he pointed towards the road block. "..There's a small space in the middle. Try squeezing through there."

"What are you crazy!" Ralph exclaimed. "Let's do it!"

Following Fonziebird 1, Fonziebird 2 started to accelerate slightly faster that usual. Going through the sky at about 195 miles per hour. Fearing that the car will not stop, some of the SWAT officers moved away while others shot the Fonziebirds with their rifles but missed.

"We lost them." One of the SWAT officers commented

The Fonziebirds screeched infront of departure terminal 2. The doors opened. Potsie, Loretta, Ralph, Richie and Chachi ran into the building and ran to the airport.

Inside the airport, they ran straight to a travel agent. Inside, a blonde attractive woman dressed in purple was startled by their quick entrance. The room was filled with posters of cities from all over the world.

"Hi. I need a ticket Kuala Lumpur right now. It's an emergency."

"Kuala Lumpur!" The guys yelled. Wondering why Loretta chose the city to be her destination.

The blonde checked her computer and smiled. "The only flight is British Airways flight DC375 and it's about to leave in 5 minutes."

"Great, I'll take it."

The woman prepared the boarding pass and gave it to Loretta. In return, Loretta gave her all the money in her pocket before walking slowly to the Departure Gate. Loretta hugged the boys holding her passport and boarding pass in her right hand.

"Thanks for your help, guys."

"So what will you do while you're in Malaysia?" Richie asked.

"Well, probably starts business and maybe buy the Petronas Twin Towers?"

"All passengers of British Airways flight DC375 to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia," a female voice sounded over the Public Address system. "This is your final call."

Loretta gave Potsie a light kiss before going to the Departure Gate. She showed the boarding pass to the officer, she took one last look and smiled before disappearing into the departure gate. Potsie, Ralph, Richie and Chachi hugged and waved, tears of sadness rolled down from Potsie's eyes. Ralph, Richie and Chachi put their arms around his neck and slowly walked out of the building.

The door slide opened as the spies step out from the building. LVMPD Police cars, Fonziebird 3, FONZ1 and Black FBI Chevy Caprices were parked all over the one way street causing a traffic jam behind. Police officers, FBI, Fonzie, Howard, Lori Beth and Tom swamped the building searching for the wanted man. Potsie was feeling very glum that her love of his life had ran far away. As they were walking back to Fonziebirds 1 & 2, Ralph, Richie and Chachi tried to comfort Potsie.

"She's gone." Potsie cried as he entered Fonziebird 1.

"You did the right thing," Ralph said from Fonziebird 2. "After all, the Police, FBI and even Dad won't believe his story. So it's better to let him run free."

"Thanks, guys." Potsie said sounding a bit cheerful.

It was late at night in the Malaysian capital. The roads were deserted except for a few parked cars and there was no one around the Petronas Twin Towers or the buildings around it. The roads were lightly lid by some old lamposts and the full moon. Almost covered by clouds on the beautiful night sky.

A red with a white top taxi drove on the road. It stopped in front of a motel right infront the world's tallest landmark. The Petronas Twin Towers. The rear left door opened. A woman in a blue jacket, a light denim skirt and white pumps paid the fare before closing the door. As the taxi left, she entered the motel. Inside, the place looked worn out, the walls were still unpainted and filled with graffiti in Bahasa Malaysia. The woman walked over to the reception table. A fat Malaysian man wearing a white shirt was sitting behind the table. He didn't mind the mess and spilled coffee on the table.

"Room 347?" the woman asked. Her voice was familiar.

"Go up to the ND floor and turn to your right." the receptionists answered with a Malaysian accent.

The woman went up the creaking stairs and turned right. She looked at the door numbers and stopped when one of the old, worn down doors read 347. She turned the door knob and entered the room.

"Miss Loretta Campbell, nice to see you again."

It was Loretta, Potsie's girlfriend. She started to frown and crossed her arms. "What do you want now, Candy Man?"

"I've got a mission for you," he continued. "Remember the invisibility formula that was stolen a few months ago?"

"Yeah. Came out in the news."

"Well, It's now kept here. Right here."

"What are you talking about?" Loretta asked and raised one of her eyebrows.

She walked over to the window and looks up to the top of the east Petronas Towers. "You see, there's a safe in my hideout in Milwaukee and it's kept in one of the vaults."

"I see.." Loretta smiled evilly. She had a plan.

THE END... OR IS IT?
