alerting her to be on stand-by for mission assist.
    Agent REV1 slid back the window again. ‘We are approaching the stadium now, EJ12. Are you ready?’
    Ready for what? wondered EJ. She would have to be ready for anything. It was show time!



The white limousine cruised into the stadium grounds and past the crowds queuing to get in. As a Pink Class ticket-holder, EJ had premium parking and could drive straight through. When the car stopped, a doorwoman opened the car door for EJ.
    â€˜Welcome to Pink Class, Miss,’ said the doorwoman. ‘Please follow the pink carpet to enter the stadium. Don’t forget to pick up your exclusive merchandise in the foyer, and enjoy the show.’
    EJ was excited. She felt like a rock star. But this is still a mission and I have to keep focussed, shetold herself. I need to check out the stadium and I need to buy my headset. And my hair, whatever that means!
    EJ walked down the pink carpet and followed the signs to the stadium foyer. EJ had never been to a concert before and was thrilled by the buzz of the crowd. It was hard to see though. EJ clicked her sneakers and waited. Within seconds she was about thirty centimetres taller and could see everything. I wouldn’t walk in these though, thought EJ, it would be impossible!
    There were people milling around stands where you could buy Pink Shadows t-shirts, glasses, posters, books, even Pink Shadows pyjamas. There were food and drink counters and people everywhere, excited people, thousands of Pink Shadows fans, many in pink and many wearing shiny fluorescent-pink wigs made of strips of pink foil. It really was crazy hair. Then EJ remembered the message. Hair. Buy Hair. I can’t believe I am saying this but I need that hair, thought EJ. She looked around and then saw a stand and a sign.

    EJ headed over to buy her crazy hair although how it was going to help her she had no idea.
    How many SHADOW agents are here? wondered EJ as she paid for the hair. There was certainly one, the one whose message SHINE had intercepted, but were there more? Was everyone wearing pink hair a SHADOW agent? EJ began looking at different people, trying to guess if any of them were agents. She couldn’t though; SHADOW would make sure their agents blended in, just like SHINE did. But if they were here, they would do something and EJ needed to be ready.
    Suddenly an announcement blared through the stadium foyer.
    â€˜Please take your seats. The Pink Shadows concert will begin in five minutes.’
    I’d better hurry up, thought EJ and she quickly bought a pink glow stick and a headset. She took a quick look at them but the headset looked pretty much like any other, besides being very pink. Could they really be part of a SHADOW plan? EJ stuffed them and the pink hair into her bag and made her way to the Pink Class section at the very front of the stage area. She checked her ticket for her seat number. It was AA 24, front row. Awesome!
    EJ had just found her seat when the stadium went completely dark, except for the sea of pink glow sticks being waved all around her. EJ waved hers too. Then the crowd suddenly hushed. Everyone was waiting.
    A single pink laser began to flash across the stage. Then another laser flashed and then another. Lasers started to appear everywhere, flashing around the stadium and over the heads of the audience, who were now cheering wildly. Then, as suddenly as they started, the lasers stopped and everything wentdark again. As a single drumbeat echoed around the stadium, a screen at the back of the stage turned bright neon-pink and then began to flash in time with the drumbeat. Next, four dark figures were slowly lowered from the top of the stadium. They came down to the stage, black silhouettes, in front of the pink screen, silhouettes of four women, one on drums, one with a bass guitar, one on keyboards and one with a lead guitar and microphone stand. Suddenly the screen went black and the silhouettes turned
