Episode synopsis
Nenene receives two Christmas party invitations, the first of which she discards as being sent by a lunatic. The sisters talk her into accepting the second invitation, to the 10th annual Young Writer's Award reception (Nenene had been the inaugural recipient of the reward). After dodging loopy authors and snotty editors, Nenene announces she has begun work on her new novel. When they return home, the Paper Sisters reveal they sent the first invitation: a "birthday" party for the three of them. They tell Nenene about their first meeting, two years ago to the day, in an abandoned church in Hong Kong. The young Dokusensha agents, Michelle and Maggie, take in Anita, whom they find starving in the church. After the sisters fall asleep, Nenene gets to working on her novel.

When these people are brought together, a bond greater than blood is formed - a bond that will be sorely tested by the evil powers intent on taking over the world. Join Anita, Maggie, Michelle, and Nenene as they travel the globe in order to save the world from the evil mastermind, Mr. Carpenter! Of course, that's if they can find the time to put down the books they're reading...
