Micahel boarded a plane. A beautiful stewardess with an english accent helped him to his seat. "Enjoy your flight" she sweetly said.

[Poinciana]

I'll give it a try....


MICHAEL LOOKED UP AND SAW A LOVELY FACE...INCREDIBLE BLUE EYES, ROSY CHEEKS AND VERY LUSCIOUS LIPS...

HE UTTERED A SOFT THANK YOU.....

OMG.....HE THOUGHT.... WHY IS THAT FACE IS SO FAMILIAR.... OH.... I REMEMBER....

[bottsbuble]

It was 1991, Michael was 16 at the time.
His family had gone to a month long vacation in the Catskill Mnts, NY; there rhe had met a girl.
She was beuatiful and sweet. Athletic and funny. Luciuous lips and beutiful eyes.

The entire trip he was enamored by her.......

[Poinciana]

HE FOLLOWED HER AROUND LIKE A LOVESICK PUPPY....MAKING SURE SHE DIDN'T WANT FOR ANYTHING...

NORA...WOULD YOU LIKE SOME MORE JUICE...CAN I GET YOU SOME WHIPPED CREAM FOR THOSE STRAWBERRIES...???

NORA DIDN;T SAY NO....SHE ENJOYED HAVING SOMEONE FUSS OVER HER...

[elbub33]

"Sir can i ask you to take your seat please you are holding up the other boarders" Sabrina another stewardess invited with a warm smile.

Michael let go of the memory that had just overcome him. As Sabrina ushered him to his 1st class seat...he stared back towards the door of the plane...was that Nora? If so why didn't she say something...there didn't seem to be even a flicker of recognition in her eyes.

Confused Michael strapped himself in and prepared for takeoff...

[bublesue]

Michael had never been keen on flying but it had never held him back from travelling
all over the world. As the plane started to make it's way up the runway,he felt his palms starting to sweat
and his stomach churn.

Sabrina,the stewardess saw that Michael was a little perturbed and came to sit next to him.

She held his hand in hers and talked soothingly,

'' I will look after you '' she whispered in his ear.

Michael drifted off to sleep,he felt safe with Sabrina.

[bottsbuble]

to understand his worry, you need to know the buble.

A trained agent, skills to make any man jealous--he was a sniper, a climber, he could ski, fly a plane, drive a boat, and even kill a mn with his bare hands. He was trained for anything.

Anything that is, except protecting his heart. He had been heart broken before--it was the one thing he could not protect with all his yrs of training.

As he awoke, he realized sabrina was gone, she an nora wer e whispering to each other as the yslowly moved up the aisle with the food service cart.

As they approached his seat, Sabrina spoke............

[elbub33]

"Do you see anything you like, Mr Buble?" she breathed.

"Perhaps a drink?" said Nora, looking him directly in the eyes. "You look a little shaken!"

"I'll have a Crown Royal Canadian Whiskey...with ice" replied Michael studying the face of the English stewardess.

"Good choice sir, i see you're a man of taste", answered Nora

"Well i like to think so...btw I've got this crazy feeling i know you from somewhere?" said Michael.

"Perhaps you've flown with the airline before?" replied Nora

"No..that's not it...i was thinking another time, another place", he reminisced.

As Nora leaned forward to place Michael's drink on the tray, she whispered.

"We were different people back then...just forget about it".

"What if i don't want to?" Michael challenged.

"Then we may both live to regret it" she replied as she laid a napkin across Michaels lap...and with that she and Sabrina moved off down the aisle.

Michael lifted his glass and brought it to his lips...as he did, some drips of water from the underside of the glass dripped onto his t-shirt...as he picked up the napkin to wipe himself he noticed a message scrawled on it...

Michael,
I know what you do other than being a huge megastar, best international male vocalist in the world, sexy beast and all round good guy...but you need to be careful...there is someone on this plane...and we could all be in danger...!

[bublesue]

Michael looked around the cabin furtively, his trained eye looking for possible suspects.
Sitting across the aisle from him were two nuns,they smile at Michael as he glanced their way.

Suddenly they both leapt up out of their seats and grabbed Michael in a fierce armlock.
'' We are undercover KGB agents '', they spat in his ear, '' and we know of your acticvities ''

As Michael struggled to break free he saw they were both carrying a gun.............

[elbub33]

Suddenly Michael's training kicked in...with his cat like reflexes he disarmed Nun #1 with a blow to the solar plexus, swiftly followed by an uppercut to the chin...he's a gentleman...he plays by the Queensbury rules. As the secret agent fell to the ground unconscious the gun flew out of her hand and skidded under a row of seats further up the plane. As the other passengers screamed...Michael continued to tussle with the other nun. She caught him with a glancing blow to the left temple and fired at him...he ducked and rushed towards her just as the oxygen masks descended from above the passengers heads...grabbing her arm he bent her wrist back until she dropped the gun...he kicked it away, pulled her arm up behind her back and forced her down onto the ground in the aisle of the plane.

Just then Nora screamed, "Michael the stray bullet hit the captain...and the plane is losing air pressure...we're going down...!

(nice touch w the video & song!!)

Michael hussled to the cockpit, stepping over peole and moving Nora out of the way.

He shoved the pilot out of the seat, sat down and reclaimed control of the plane. Nora walked in and spoke to him, "I can help you know. Our paths haven't crossed by accident. I too an a trained special agent."

Astonished, Michael replied "Really?", and the nthought how could it be?

"I was at training right behind you" Nora stated, "offcially I am known as agent 69- Samantha Suble (pronounced sueblay)"
(mind you agent 99 was already taken by the partener of the infamous Get Smart agent-Maxwell!!)
"Surely you don't expect me to believe you" said Michael

"watch" said samantha #69, as she reached over to the controller and began steering the plane.

[bublesue]

As agent 69 leant over Michael to steer the plane,she accidently touched the wrong control and the plane
suddenly veered downwards.

'' Oh my god we've lost control of the plane'' she cried.

Michael tried valiantly to regain control but to no avail.

''We are going to have to crash land ! '' he exclaimed.

'' Brace yourself ''

The plane spiralled lower and lower until it came to rest on the sea.

Michael crashed headfirst into the control panel, then it all went black.............

[elbub33]

Michael came to with sea water lapping around his Converse...the cockpit was filling up with water. He put his hand to his head which was pouring with blood from the blow he took earlier at the hands of the nun/kgb agent, passing out on the control panel had only exacerbated the wound. Slightly dazed he looked around and saw agent #69 slumped over the now useless throttle.

"Samantha...wake up...we've got to get out of here before this thing gets sucked under the water" he urged as he gently shook her.

"What...we survived?" she asked.

"Of course, honey...you've heard of Darwin's theory of evolution...survival of the fittest, right? We'll guess what we're both pretty fit" he flirted.

As Michael climbed out of the chair and walked to the door of the cockpit, he noticed out the window that the cabin crew were helping the other passengers, encased in life jackets, climb out onto the wings of the plane.

"Damn", he said. "The door is jammed".

Michael and Samantha ripped the cockpit apart trying to find something to prise open the door with...nothing. By now the water level was up to Michael's knees. He put his hands in the water and splashed some onto his face and hair to clear his head.

"Think!" Michael encouraged himself..."I've got it".
With that Michael climbed back into the Captain's seat and strapped himself in.
"Michael...what are you doing?" cried Samantha.
"Straddle me" he ordered.
"WHAT...this is sooo not the time to rekindle our relationship!" she admonished.
The water was up to his waist.
"Just do it...NOW!" he barked.
Samantha realising he had a plan did as she was told. Working adeptly Michael tied Samantha to him using a detachable baby seat belt. He plunged his hand into the icy water and pressed the button located under the seat.

WHOOOOOOOSSSHHHH!

The ejector seat burst out the roof of the plane and Michael and Samantha found themselves hurtling skyward. The force was immense and just when they thought they would never take another breath again the parachute opened and they began to descend...

[FeveredByBuble]

However, as they desperately clung onto each other.....the warm air rushing through the chute, Michael sensed they were heading for danger as they drifted slowly downwards, the rocky outcrop below drawing ever near.
As they began to spiral out of control, Samantha pulled the toggle that would help steer them to safety (or so she thought).......

[bublesue]

Samantha and Michael clung to eachother as they began to drift nearer the small island beneath them.
Luckily they came to ground on a soft sandy beach which broke their fall a little,but Michael fell heavily onto his right knee.

'' Ouch !'', said Michael,'' my knee is hurting like hell''.

Samantha felt it tenderly,feeling for any broken bones.

'' I am a trained first aider'', she said.
'' I think you need to support it with a splint. ''

Samantha looked around for anything that could be used as a makeshift splint.

Michael moaned in pain.

Samantha found an old tree branch washed up on the shore and strapped it to Michael's leg with her scarfe.

''We must find shelter for you to rest out of the heat of the sun ,'' she said.

'' God knows where we are ''

As they began to look for some shelter,a large group of pygmy women appeared and started to charge towards them,
they were carrying spears and they didn't look friendly...................

[bottsbuble]

Now the story continues............

Spears and magical evil beadsl!

Michael knew he could them all himself, bu he had little confidence in what samantha (aka agent 69) could do.
As the pygmie women approached they spoke in tounges michael had never heard

Suddenlt 69 stated speaking franitcally in a language michael did not know....." yaga yag yaga boo boo, ugh" (loosely translated-we come in peace )

replying back, the tallest of the pygmies said" he is our god, our idol, he sings like a bird , and looks like a fox
69 told michael this, so he began to sing, in effort to warm up his enimies, all the pygmies circled around. It is customary for pygmie women to sing along. After Micahel had finished his number, the dominant pygmie women said they should return to the village and have a banquet and nights rest.....

[bublesue]

After a good nights sleep on a comfortable bed,Michael's knee felt much better in the morning.It still felt painful but there didn't seem to be any longterm damage.
Michael stretched and gingerly got up out of bed,testing his knee.

'' Thank god I can still walk '' he said.

He emerged from his hut and loked for 69.

At that moment the pygmy chieftian came up to him from behind, all smiles and took him by the hand.
She led him to a wooded area where the rest of the tribe had gathered in a large circle.

69 was in the middle of the circle of tribeswomen dressed in an ornate costume of feathers and wearing a headdress, a tiara made of bones and teeth from the look of it.

Michael looked on in amazement as the chieftian advanced towards him with what looked like a similar costume for
him to wear.

'' What do they want me to do now ? '' thought Michael...........................

[bottsbuble]

as he began to get nervous- worse than the nerves prior to a show- he saw samantha smiling at him.
??what is she doing?? he thought.
samantha rose off her knees, and walked over-michael amazed at her freedom from the pygmies.

"michael" she said, "congratulations- you have completed the improntu training session required by the boss"
"you never waivered, you never let me be in danger, you would have fought to the death"

feeling a sigh of relief, michael smiled back-that smile only he can smile- and said"Now what"

Smantha said, "now off tho HQ and then dinner.it will be an amazing night for us all!" "lets celebrate".

[elbub33]

The pygmies parted...
And Michael and Samantha walked past them just as a helicopter landed on the beach.
"That's our new boss" said Samantha "Z"
"Z?" echoed Michael quizzically.
"Z...for Zero" said Samantha "You're the hero...he's the zero" she smiled laconically.
They boarded the helicopter, strapped themselves in and put on their headphones.
Michael started singing, "Stuck in the middle with you".
Z and Samantha looked at him.
"Sorry...force of habit" said Michael.

Sometime later at HQ...

"So Michael...your mission...should you choose to accept it...but if you don't we'll recind your double oh license...is this...you need to infiltrate a gang of master scientists...this WILL involve you going deep undercover...and MAY involve you being a subject for study?"

"I'm not sure about that" said Michael. "What would it involve?".

"Well we don't know exactly...but we know this...we live in a world where genetics are a very fast moving, lucrative world...on the island next door to the one you were just on, there is a talking ape...designer pets...designer babies, the eggs and sperm market is booming...they are even isolating genes to identify drug addiction...not to mention super humans... free from disease...stem cell research is the way forward".

"Yeah...ok...but i don't see how i fit in?" replied Michael.

"Pay attention Buble...you are a fit specimen...an international man of mystery...a man for the 21st century...naughty and playful...yet talented, intelligent, eloquent and the girl's love you" said Z. "You're just the kind of man they are looking for...they want to harness your power...it's all in the genes, you know".

"That's very sweet" said Michael. "But you know...i've got a new album coming out soon...".

"Just go and get kitted out Buble...do it for Queen and Country (us Brits do share a Queen with the Canadians don't we?) Agent 69 is going with you...Good Luck" said Agent Z.

"Where are we headed?" Michael enquired.

"First stop" said Agent Z "Paris, France"....

[bublesue]

A bright spring day in Paris, France.

Michael walks along a narrow street,a french loaf tucked under his arm,a bag of hot croissants in his hand.

He was making his way back to the small hotel where he was staying with agent 69.

He did not see the tall red haired woman who had been following him until she stepped round in front of him

and blocked his way.

He stumbled into her and in the process the french stick came off worse and now lay on the cobbles

broken in half. The croissants flew into the air and came to grief beside the bread.

'' Hey '' said Michael , ' that was going to be our breakfast ! ''

'' Never mind breakfast '' said the woman, '' you have work to do''


'' We have been waiting for you to arrive,now this is what we want you to do for us......................
