The lab was quite when I was updating the equipment, when I suddenly heard a loud, "What?" exclaimed by Chase. Well, I'm only guessing it was Chase by the nerdy madness in his voice. I ran to hide but my wedges were making it difficult. The silver mechanical door to the lab almost closed when two hands pulled them apart. "I asked Emma out and she said yes! Okay! How many times do I have to say it?" I could tell it was Adam because it certainly did not sound like a girl would say yes to Leo, from what I heard from Uncle Donald. That's right; I'm Donald Davenport's genius niece. I don't think he introduced me to his new family sooner because I surpass him in some genius levels. My parents … err … that's a different story. "I had dibs on her and … does someone smell apples?" Chase started looking around and Adam sniffed the air. "Hm … maybe it's Bree's new girl spray." Adam muttered, making hand gestures like an idiot. Well, it was more like little hand waves. Suddenly a huge gust of made my dress ripple a little bit. "Not me!" Bree exclaimed. Bree than examined the door. "Not again Adam!" She just sighed and sat down on a stool. Chase than touched his ear and everyone was very quiet. "I hear another person breathing. Is Leo in here?"
"Now he is!" Leo came in through the door. "What's going on super buddies?"
"I hear another person in here."
"Oh … is that apple?" Leo sniffed the air than looked at Bree.
"NOT ME!" she exclaimed … again. "It could have been Tasha." She thought aloud.
"Hey Eddy? Has anyone come in here today?" asked Leo.
"If you mean Tasha no, but If you mean the secret niece that Donald doesn't want you to know about than yes! She is right behind you Adam." Eddy seemed like he would shrug after that but … he's a computer in the wall so … I mean you do the math. Adam turned around and poked the air.
"OW!" I said before I could clamp my mouth shut.
"Come out now!" Adam shouted. He tried to sound brave but I could tell he was a little crept out.
So, seeing as I had no choice, I took off my invisibility bracelet. "Hi …" I whispered.
"What are you doing in the lab … wait … Eddy … did you say NEICE!" Leo shouted
"NO … what do you think kid?" Eddy rolled his eyes as best he could for a robot.
"I have a cousin!" He squealed like a little kid and we all looked at him. "I mean … ohm … I have a cousin."
"Yap … I'm going to be staying here for a while so I was just updating and making new equipment like Uncle Donald told me to … I'm Whitney but you can just call me Whit." I tried to not stumble on my words with no success.
"How long?" asked Chase. I was about to answer when Bree blurted out,
"Told you too?" asked Bree, jumping off the stool. "So you know we are not normal?"
"Of course! I am a genius you know. So I guess I'm kind of like your tech person. And you are Chase, Bree, Adam, and Leo." I guessed pointing at each of them. "Uncle D kind of updated me on you guys after my … when I got here." Then there was an awkward silence when finally Chase broke the ice saying, "Cool … so did you just invent that bracelet?"
I smiled, happy knowing that I wouldn't have to talk about my parents. "Yap! I made more manly ones for you and Adam and this one is Bree's." I handed Bree a diamond studded bracelet. "You see the black diamond? Well just tap that twice to be invisible!" Bree tried to turn on the bracelet but it would not work. I suddenly remembered why it wasn't working and I snatched the bracelet away from Bree. "Hey!" she said. I took her index finger and pressed it on the black diamond until it made a "DING" sound and gave it back to Bree. "There you go! Try now. It wasn't working before because I rigged it to know my fingerprints and not yours." Bree tapped twice turned invisible than tapped it twice it again and reappeared. "Awesome!" She stated. Then she hugged me. "You're welcome." I smiled. I told Adam and Chase to put their fingers on the dint in their leather bracelets and tap it twice. When they turned invisible they had a mini prank wars, Bree included. "Are they always like this?" I asked. "Yap … pretty much." Leo said. "Do you have something for me?" Leo asked. "Of course cousin!" I began digging around in a drawer while Leo asked some questions. "So why didn't Davenport tell me about you?" He asked.
"I guess it's because I'm as smart as him and he didn't want the genius effect to wear out. Our whole family is pretty smart you know!" I laughed.
"So my uncle and aunt are geniuses too?" He asked obviously excited.
"Well … I … um …" I stuttered.
"Are they here too?" He asked some more.
"Well … they … couldn't come." I finally made out.
"Oh …" he sounded a bit disappointed.
I pulled out a remote control. "Here you go!" I gave him the control and he looked puzzled.
"You made me a remote control?" He looked at the device questioningly.
"Well I heard from Uncle D that he really hated it when he walked into your room and saw everything everywhere so this remote controller cleans your room, makes you food, and it even can pick out your clothes!" I said excitedly. "The different pictures represent all the modes. Click the one with food on it and tell it what food you want!"
Leo pressed the drumstick button and yelled, "VANILLA ICECREAM!" and out popped a vanilla ice cream scoop. His eyes instantly lightened up. "COOL! Thanks cousin!" He started playing around with it and I was watching my new family when I suddenly heard Eddy say, "You're not going to tell them?"
"Not yet." I said back. "I just want them to like me first. Then I promise I'll tell them." I furrowed my eyes a bit and wondered how I would tell them. Will they shun me if I tell them?
I based Whit on myself and it would be totally awesome if she were a real character and I could play her! I actually wrote this story so I could be her for just a while. Review and I'll write more!
