Interesting... and certainly a different mission for Jun! I like how she was both uncomfortable yet easily able to slip into the role.

Certainly a different role for Jun, but I like the way it showed her in a much stronger role. Even if she did feel uncomfortable in it.

Go Jun! I think she did a great job. Too bad she can't tell Ken she saw Red Impulse...

Yeah solo missions could turn out to be challenging when you're trained to function as a team. Of course, they do split up regularly, but this is definitely a new scenario for Jun. Nice to see her pulling it off and kind of enjoying the freedom her cover ID offered!

Thank you so much for this story! It is just what I wanted, with intrigue, and a chance for one of the more "background," characters a chance to shine on their own. What a lovely find to tuck beneath the tree!

I've always thought it would be fun if the ninjas had undercover "James Bond-like" missions to glam locales, but the closest thing is Ken going to his flight academy reunion in Gatch II, ep. 21. I really enjoyed this!

I really enjoyed reading this story, too! It got me hooked up from the very beginning! It even put me in a place where I like to find myself when I watch the same kind of spy films or series, such as "Chuck", where wearing sexy, holding secrets, and entering into such roles is a must! That black skirt Jun had to wear should have been surely verrrrry short, then! ... I loved the parts where Jun brought to her mind what Ken would have thought about her in seeing her made up in that way! I also liked the referred bit where she winced as she was called "Princess"! Jun did such a great job! And, good job to the author!

Ok, just guessing wildly here, I think Daniella might have written this.....

Hmmm.... this seemed more like K2P2 to me...

Ummm, TJ? How could K2P2 write her own story?

Well, I have goofed with prompts before, but I do hope I didn't not goof that bad .... then again .... with me, you never know

Maybe she figured out a way to rig it! Yeah...she figured out how to hack Ame's computer and was originally going to arrange to have all the gifts go to her, but then she realized somebody might notice that. So she then chose to write her own story, so she could be sure to get one guess right! It makes perfect sense!!!

I would hope that I keep my computer a bit more secure than that. Though if it makes everyone feel better, I'll makes sure that my Gift Exchange thumb drive is only connected when I'm using it, next year. Really, it is far more likely that I flubbed, as that has happened before. :?

The first year I organized this, I accidentally gave the same prompt to two different people, and spent a frantic week trying to correct that goof. Also that year, we lost a person, and I had to make that up, too.

Good point... See, I'm out of it today! Too many holiday things to do...

My guess is that Daniella wrote this...

I am thinking Daniella as well.

I have to join in by saying Daniella!

OOooo...a spy mission for Jun! I love it! What would Ken think about all of this? *grin* Great story!!

I have the feeling that Nambu's hoping Ken never, ever learns about this one, if only for the "Escort" bit.

Hi everyone, now that I can, I will tell you that yes indeed, you were right, and I am the author! I am flattered that you managed to guess it was me, although the story was quite different from what I usually do. I was veeeeery intrigued by the prompt, which pointed towards a mystery, which was definitely a first for me. Glad you liked it, k2! Back to get another nap -- I just got back to Belgium after a week in Africa, and an eleven-hour flight to London and then another hour to Brussels.

After all those hours flying, I hope you enjoyed your trip to Africa .... what parts did you see?

Wow, Africa! Would love to hear about your trip.

This time I went to Cape Town, which is one of the most fantastic cities in the world! Sun, sea, beautiful nature, tons of things to see, and, again, coming from the winter in Belgium, sun!!!

Sounds like a fantastic trip, Daniella!

Glad you enjoyed your holiday Daniella. I can't say I blame you for escaping the winter climate, even if it is just for a week.

I agree, sounds like a fantastic trip. I would love to see some sun right now, although I also enjoy the snow we have just been hit with. I just want SUN and snow, to make it even more beautiful.

Such a wonderful trip you must have had there, Daniella! Hope you're now having your deserved rest with lots of beautiful memories in mind!
