Chapter 1:

Bree's POV: The school bus

"Bree do you…uh…want to go to the dance with me? I-I mean if you want," asked Chase nervously. Bree almost couldn't control her excitement! This was the boy who had been her boy BFF since kindergarden, her secret crush since 4th grade that only one person knew about, and he was finally asking her out on a date! So instead of freaking out she just smiled. Then she realized that he was waiting for an answer. "Ugh, c'mon Bree do something, don't just stand there, say YES!" she thought to herself.

"Sure, that would be awesome," she replied excitedly. They were now going on an OFFICIAL date! "Yay, best day ever!" Bree thought. She was so happy that she could super-speed around the whole and not care about exposing her secret.

"Bree, Bree, Bree…." said Chase. Or maybe it wasn't Chase. Bree blinked and when she opened her eyes, she was on the bus sitting next to her best friend Kim who was saying her name over, and over.

"It was all a dream," Bree blurted, "we're not going to the dance together." Now it was back to boring, old reality where she and Chase would always just be friends.

"Let me guess, daydreaming about Ch-" Kim started.

"Shut up, I don't want anyone to know about my crush on you-know-who," Bree said while motioning to the back of the bus where Chase, his brother Adam, and step-brother Leo. She didn't want Chase to know about her crush, because it might ruin their friendship, and that was a chance that she was not willing to take. They were so close and Bree's favorite time of day was when she Chase, Adam, and Leo hung out in Mr. Davenport's lab. She never really noticed Adam and Leo even though they were really close too, because her attention was all on Chase. If he made a lame joke, she laughed, if Adam tried to throw him across the room she yelled at Adam. So pretty much she was acting like his super-lame bodyguard. And no matter what she did she couldn't help but notice him, and even though he didn't have Adam's super-strength and he was a geek he was so cute with his big hazel eyes and how he treated her like his little sister, being protective, but making fun of her too. Little sister, LITTLE SISTER. She would always just be the little sister, never the lucky girlfriend like she always dreamed of.

"Sorry, but I think it's more than a crush, you've liked him since as long as I can remember, I think its sort of an.. an obsession," Kim replied.

"FYI it was since 4th grade and I am NOT obsessed!" Bree said matter-of-factly.

"Hehe, whatever you say speedy," snickered Kim. Kim, Leo, Mr. and Mrs. Davenport, were the only people who knew about Bree, Chase, and Adam's bionics. Or at least she hoped they were the only ones who knew. She never meant to tell Kim about her super-speed but one day, it all just came out. She and Kim were in 7th grade (3 years ago) when they decided to try out for the volleyball team together. Little did Bree know, that she was going through a special phase in her bionics where they malfunction and cause her to loose control of her speed and GPS tracker. After the tryout, she and Kim went to get ice cream to cool off, but Bree was starting to loose control. They got their ice cream, chocolate for her, and vanilla for Kim, when she started glitching and speeding everywhere. Kim witnessed the whole thing. So Bree told her about her bionics and Chase and Adam's too, so Kim nicknamed her Speedy. If only Chase had a cute nickname for her…

Chase's POV: The school bus (same time)

Chase loved school, being the smartest student there, so getting all A's was all that mattered to him, but lately it was harder and harder for him to concentrate on his schoolwork. This year, his best friend Bree was in some of his classes, and they had been friends for ever, but she kept getting prettier which made it hard for him. And every time she caught him looking at her, she smiled at him and sometimes it made him forget his own name. But, Chase didn't want their friendship to be ruined, and plus she would never go for him, she was popular and he was just a geek. He wanted more than anything to ask her to the upcoming dance but he was too nervous to get rejected. He forced himself to stop thinking about her and listened to Adam and Leo's ongoing conversation.

"Dude, if the aliens attacked what would you do?" asked Leo.

"Well duh, I would talk to them in marshin-ese, yeah I speak it, who's the dumb one now" Adam replied looking at the boys, "glut glop gleep means we come in peace." You could say that Adam wasn't well… the brightest crayon in the box, but if he was a crayon, according to his smarts, he'd probably be beige. Chase would take brains over strength any day. If only Bree liked smart guys, not jocks.

Leo's POV: Class that day

It was pretty obvious that Chase liked Bree, although he barley ever mentioned it. He could tell by the way he looked at her, because it was the same way he looked at Janelle except he looked MUCH cooler, in his opinion. But, he wasn't sure that Bree felt the same way. That girl was pretty good at keeping her feelings to herself, but if you told her a secret, it spread like a wildfire within ten minutes. Plus, Bree had almost all the guys at school crushing on her and she was dating a jock named Jack. But why was Leo thinking about this anyway. Probably so he could tune out his teachers boring algebra lesson. When in life would he need to know what x+y equals.

Bree's POV: End of the school day

"Ugh I have to go talk to Jack, I promised him we could talk after school," Bree told Kim, "I'll meet up with you later." She knew how much Kim was crushing on Jack and more than anything she wanted to give Jack to Kim, and date Chase instead, but miracles just don't happen. She spotted Jack at his locker and walked over to him.

"Hey Jack, what did you want to talk about," she said in a bored tone.

"Oh, hey! I wanted to make sure that we were going to the dance together, right?" he asked while slamming his locker shut.

"Yea I guess, I mean we are dating," she said sadly.

"Is something wrong? You've been acting strange lately." Jack asked.

"Well… uh the truth is that I'm not really feeling up for the dance right now, maybe you should take someone else." she replied. The real truth was, she didn't really like Jack. He was nice and a good friend, but she didn't really want to be his girlfriend, she just said yes when he asked her out for one reason. She wanted to make Chase jealous so he would ask her out, but it didn't seem to be working.

"Are you sure? You never miss the school dances." Jack said.

"Yeah, maybe I'll change my mind but I don't think so," she admitted, "why don't you take someone else, like… uh *cough* Kim or anyone you want."

"Ok I guess I'll ask Kim to go, she's nice." Then he walked away. "Score!" she thought to herself, "Kim is gonna be so happy!"

Kim's POV: 10 minutes later

She was waiting for Bree to come back, which was taking a long time when Jack walked up to her. She made a quick attempt to fix her hair which was blowing everywhere from the wind.

"Hey Kim, I was wondering if you wanted to go to the dance with me," Jack asked, "Bree's not feeling up for it so maybe we could go together?" OMG did that just happen. Kim didn't even care that she was the second choice because Jack just asked her to the dance!

"Uh… sure! I mean just as friends," replied Kim

"Ok, sounds great! It's a date!" He said and walked off. It's a date. IT'S! A! DATE! Blah, blah, DATE! It sounded like she and Jack were going on a date. And she liked it that way.

Chase's POV: Hanging out in the lab

Beep! Beel! Beep!

"Guys thats the urgent mission alert!" Mr. Davenport yelled over the sirens,"Where's Bree?"

"How would we know!" Adam said,"hey does anyone else want Chinese food?"

"We need her on this mission! My lab in Hawaii is right near a volcano and it's going to explode any minute now," Mr. Davenport explained.

"Woah, woah, woah! Hold your horses, a lab in hawaii?" Leo interrupted.

"Leo this is no time for jokes, if that lab gets ruined by the volcano, the toxic chemical I've been working with could gas up and fill the air with poisonous gas." This was more serious than Chase expected.

"So why do we need Bree?" Chase asked.

"She needs to super-speed to the top of the volcano, one at a time with both of you. Then theres a freeze ray prototype I made and you have to use that to freeze all the lava. Now be careful because it's a prototype."

"What's a prototype. Ohhh is it a type of proto!," Adam asked,"Wait, whats a proto?" Ugh, Chase couldn't stand how dumb he was sometimes.

"Never mind that! But we need Bree!" Mr. Davenport said.

"I'm finding her location on my GPS," Chase said,"It looks like she and Kim are walking home and she's about a mile away." He called her and when she answered he told her to super-speed home right away because there was an emergency. Before they knew it, Bree was getting prepped for the mission too.

"Does everyone have their mission suits on, and the freeze ray?" Mr. Davenport asked cautiously.

"Don't worry, I'm the mission leader and I got this under control," Chase said.

"Now be careful, you only get one shot out of the freeze ray, so aim it correctly," Mr. Davenport warned.

"Lucky," Leo muttered. His dream was to go on a mission with them but that wouldn't happen because he couldn't handle it. Mr. Davenport found another way to let him help. He was the mission specialist which pretty much was just Mr. Davenports assistant. He liked everyone to call him "mission specialist Dooley". But this mission was not a joke, it was real and if they didn't accomplish it, the world would be in danger. He hoped that the freeze ray would be aimed correctly.

? POV: Somewhere

"We've got the lab rats right where we want them," said someone.

"Marcus, have you talked to them yet? I need this to work," said a deeper and scratchier voice.

"Yes they aren't suspicious at all but theres one thing that's blocking me from them," said the first voice.

"Well get rid of it!" the deep voice said, "we can't have any distractions. And did they fall for the fake mission?"

"Yes, according to my spy-cam they're on their way, so we can trap them." The deep voice started laughing, but it wasn't the kind of laugh you're thinking of, it was an evil, scratchy, and a bit scary laugh.

"They won't expect a thing!" the deep voice said.
