Dress Up
By The Meepy Freak
Adam!
Chase zoomed to the elevator on the other side of the lab, and made his way upstairs. He was holding his pants to his waist, though the pants were still threatening to fall down. The shirt he was wearing draped over him, constantly sliding off his shoulders. On top of that, the shirt had a pink cupcake drawn on the front with a childish saying written underneath. No matter how many times Chase stepped into his capsule to change his clothes, his capsule dressed him in the wrong clothes. The capsule would only dress him in Adam's huge clothes that enveloped him like a blanket.
The eldest bionic was going to pay. Chase scrunched his face in anger as he made his way upstairs into the Living Room. Adam was in the Kitchen searching through the fridge, and Bree was on the couch texting her 'friends' (Bree's vast amount of 'friends' had always made Chase suspicious.). Neither sibling was paying attention to their younger brother until Chase tripped on the pants he was wearing.
Bree automatically looked in Chase's direction and started giggling. The youngest bionic just glared at his elder sister as he made his way to Adam in the Kitchen. The eldest bionic was still distracted with picking out a treat that would occupy him for another hour, annoying Chase. Therefore, Chase acted on instinct and jumped onto his elder brother's back wrapping his legs around Adam's waist.
Usually, Chase would immediately get off his brother's back, realizing the high probability of him falling off. However, this was different. Anger clouded Chase's vision as Adam stood up and walked to the couch with Chase on his back. Chase felt like Spike, wanting to resort to violence.
Suddenly, Adam sat on the couch next to Bree, bringing Chase down with him. The youngest bionic squirmed under Adam's weight until Adam finally got up and sat next to Chase. Adam put a hand on Chase's thighs, prohibiting him to move.
Chase only frowned and crossed his arms (causing Bree to laugh more). He knew that this action was immature, but he was past thinking through every action he did. He was tired and cranky. Chase honestly did not want to deal with his annoying siblings now.
"I hate you," he pouted.
Then, Adam started laughing too. Chase rolled his eyes at him.
The laughs perturbed Chase as he yelled, "Stop laughing! It is not funny!"
Chase could hear Bree trying to control her laughs (He did have super sensitive bionic hearing.) as she replied, "Sorry. You just look so adorable."
Adam only nodded to Bree's statement. However, this made Chase even angrier. He did not look adorable! He was fifteen years old for goodness sakes!
"I do not!" the youngest bionic retorted back at his elder siblings.
Adam glanced at Chase before replying, "Aww! Is Chasey upset that he is a baby?"
"No Adee because I am not a baby," Chase mocked his brother's tone and stuck his tongue at the elder boy.
"You look like a baby," Bree mumbled under her breath. However, Chase heard it with his bionic ears.
Arguing back, Chase said, "I do not look like a baby. I look the same-"
"So you always look like a baby?"
Chase ignored Adam's comment as he continued, "I am just in Adam's humungous clothes. Is it my fault he is a giant?"
Adam faked a gasp, "I am not a giant. You are just tiny."
Bree smiled, "Why are you so upset Chasey? You used to love to wear Adee's clothes."
The youngest bionic face palmed, and Bree knew she had the genius cornered. When Chase was younger and the three bionics were stuck in the lab, Chase admired his elder brother. Chase would mimic his brother's actions wanting to be just like him. Sometimes, Chase would even convince Mr. Davenport to put him in Adam's clothes. Chase wanted to be a 'big boy' like his brother. He hated being the youngest.
As time passed by, Chase soon started to look at Mr. Davenport as a role model. He slowly realized that Adam was a kid himself, and if Chase ever wanted to grow up, he had to stop copying his brother. Obviously, Adam could lift up ginormous weights, but the eldest bionic always acted too immature for Chase's liking.
Chase started to become his own person, drifting from his siblings to help Mr. Davenport with 'adult stuff' as dubbed by the three bionics. The elder two bionics often teased Chase about it, but he was never offended. Chase liked being seen as the mature one in the family. He hated being seen as the baby, even if he was younger than his siblings. That was one of the reasons for his outburst after this horrid prank.
"I've grown," Chase replied to his sister, deliberately adding, "Bee Bee."
Bree sighed in response, realizing how stubborn her younger brother was being, "Chase, you should be proud of Adam. This is one of the first pranks he actually pulled correctly. Plus, this prank is his best so far."
The youngest boy frowned as his sister burst into laughter again, "This is not funny!"
Adam, on the other hand, took that as a compliment and clapped his hands together shouting, "Yay!"
Chase grimaced at the loud noise. However, he had to agree with Bree at least a bit. It was impressive how Adam somehow reprogrammed (?) the capsules so Chase would be dressed in Adam's clothes. The last time Adam tinkered with the capsules on purpose, he had confused Bree's and Chase's capsules (to Chase's relief). Bree ended up with forty nine gallons of expired milk poured on her.
Then, an idea shot through Chase's mind. It was so simple that Chase could not believe that he did not think of it before. Chase could just reprogram his capsule back to normal. He was the smartest man alive. Mr. Davenport was against the kids 'playing' with the controls, but Chase was desperate. He could not stay here with his teasing siblings. He had to act. He had to change. He had to show Adam and Bree that he was not an idiotic baby.
Since Adam's hand was off of Chase's lap when Adam clapped for his success, Chase jumped off the couch and ran to the elevator. He tripped a couple of times on the pants he had on, but he continued going. Hopefully, the humiliation would not continue.
Jamming the elevator button, Chase's impatience grew. Slowly, the genius realized that the elevator was not responding to his presses. This confused Chase. The elevator was working a few minutes ago.
"Hi Smarty Pants," Chase heard an obnoxious voice resonate from the wall next to the elevator.
He groaned. Sometimes, Chase hated Eddy. He honestly did not have time for this!
"Open the elevator Eddy," the bionic demanded.
The super computer just laughed at him and answered, "No Chasey."
Out of all of the amazing things a billionaire scientist could have built, why did Mr. Davenport make Eddy? It was almost as if an obnoxious five year old was in charge of the entire house. Why couldn't Mr. Davenport have skipped over the personality portion of Eddy's coding? If Chase's ever got his hands on the super computer's coding, the genius would definitely tweak it. Chase would make sure the tweaked Eddy would never stall him like the real one was doing now.
"Please Eddy?" Chase started rushing as his ears picked up the sound of a car arriving at the Davenport household.
Chase gasped and continued begging Eddy. Mr. Davenport, Tasha, and Leo had gone to the school for a special parent-teacher-student conference for Leo about an hour ago. It would not surprise Chase if they had come back. However, that meant that Chase had to get past Eddy before they entered through the door.
"I will give you anything you want," Chase tried.
Eddy only laughed and replied, "Bribes will not work. You should know that genius."
Chase heard the doorknob twist, and he held his breath. He could not let Leo see him. He was a few months elder to Leo. He was supposed to be Leo's elder brother, not a baby. Also, Tasha and Mr. Davenport would probably fawn over him as Bree and Adam did. Chase hated being babied.
The door opened, and Chase closed his eyes. It was obvious that Eddy would never let him sneak into the lab now. All Chase could do was wait for the embarrassment to begin.
