chapter 1

the alarm goes off in the lab

Bree is startled by her phone going off

Bree hello

unknown hey Bree what are you up to

Bree oh hey Kenzie, I am just getting ready for school. what about you.

Kenzie- I am just getting ready for the day. Oh my gosh, guess what I found out from my doctor at my last appointment.

Bree I hope nothing bad

Kenzie- no, nothing bad. actually my doctor said that my ankle is healing up really good, and I should be able to get my cast off in less than a month.

Bree that's amazing. so will you be able to come right back to the studio right away.

Kenzie- I don't know, I'd have to ask my doctor about that. sorry I have to go. I have another doctors appointment today. ill call you after your home from school, and tell you all about.

Bree goes upstairs with her brothers. its awkward in the elevator. no one is talking. everyone lets out a silent sigh of relief when the elevator dings and open in the kitchen. Bree walks over to Tasha and starts up a conversation with her while Adam, and Chase go talk with Davenport over by the couch.

Tasha hey Bree, what's up

Bree- not much. the boys are still not talking to me. I'm starting to think they don't even want me in their family.

Tasha oh sweetie. that's not true and you know it. they are just a little upset right now, but don't worry they'll come around soon enough.

Bree thanks Tasha. you always know just what to say to make me feel better.

Tasha you're welcome sweetie, and you know that if you want you could call me mom.

Bree ok thanks mom

meanwhile over with the boys

Davenport so what's up with Bree. why is she smiling so much and practically ran over to talk to Tasha.

chase I don't know. She was talking to this person on the phone this morning, and she seems worried and then she just suddenly was happy.

Adam you don't think Bree's replacing us, and Tasha's in on it. Do you.

Davenport I don't think she's replacing us. I think something else is going on.

chase yeah but what, and how are we even going to find anything out. we aren't talking to her remember, and I doubt if we started she would just automatically start talking to us and tell us what's wrong.

Adam chase is right. you should have seen how awkward it was in the elevator when we came up.

Davenport well why don't you just try to earn back her trust. But now right away, let's just wait a couple of days, and see how she is, and then we can start on the plan

everybody heads off to school
