AN: Heya peeps, I am back with another story! This one was inspired by PurpleNicole531's story When You Wish Upon an Invention; when I read it, I laughed quite a bit and began wondering what would happen if this and that would happen, and so this story came into being. You all should check out the original!
About the story: it is meant to be a laugh-out-loud story much like the actual TV show, it is focused on the family aspects, and does have some action (and resulting injuries). There are certainly more characters than listed, it is set around the time of the second season, and the rating will be no higher than a K+. It is slightly AU (now) because I wrote this in October, but in Season 4 in the hilarious episode Bionic Dog that came out in April, Chase is allergic to dogs. In my story he's not allergic to himself - that would be funny though. Oh, and if you haven't noticed by now, I enjoy picking on Chase :P His character has the most insecurities, he's the quirkiest, and he has the most room to grow, so it's fun to exploit these qualities for humorous purposes. He's also the character I can most personally connect to, so you could say he's my favorite. That, and I enjoy giving the other characters a good laugh.
This story will also be updated every other day, and it is pre-written so that there is no ghastly length of time between chapters (because I am a slow writer) and so that it will be extensively edited and hopefully 99.9% error free. I think of you all when I write these stories :)
Also, I'm really excited about how my latest Spike story is turning out - I think you all will like it :) And yes, there is going to be a lot of action in it.
How about we get to the actual story? I hope you all enjoy!
Disclaimer: I do not own Lab Rats or the characters, just the plot.
Leo heard the arrival of the elevator to the lab, and he turned around quickly, hiding behind his back the machine he had been playing with. He sighed with relief when he saw that it was merely Adam, who was unaware of anything suspicious.
"Hey Leo!" Adam greeted cheerfully, coming up to his step-brother.
"Hi Adam," Leo said slightly nervously. "What are you doing down here?"
A mischievous grin took over the bionic's face, and he said excitedly "I'm pranking Chase again! I set up the fridge so that ketchup and mustard will explode on him when he opens the door."
"Haven't you already done that? And didn't Chase help you with that last time?"
"Yeah, which is why he won't expect it!"
Leo rolled his eyes, choosing not to argue any further.
"Whatcha got there?" Adam asked casually, finally figuring out that Leo was hiding something behind his back.
"Oh, nothing," Leo said in his high pitched voice that he normally used when concealing something, taking a step back. Before Leo could do anything else, Adam reached out and caught him, turning him around to yank the machine from behind Leo's back.
"Whoa, cool! What is it?" Adam asked, studying it.
Leo groaned in defeat, explaining "It's Mr. Davenport's new invention. It's supposed to change the shape of objects with one simple blast – it's kind of an art thing as far as usefulness goes. It's not really up his ally, but he said he'd help me with my ceramics class."
"Ceramics?" Adam asked, confused.
"You know, pottery?" Leo sighed. In a more excited tone, he explained "One blast from this baby will make my pot art-museum worthy – it'll be an easy A!"
Adam nodded, asking "Isn't that cheating?"
"Nooo! It's finding an alternate method to make it happen," Leo said.
"Why are you hiding it then?"
"Because it was supposed to stay between me and Big D."
"Ohhhh. Can I play with it?"
"No! It's not a toy." Leo took it back from the older boy, the two of them staring the other down. Finally Leo broke. "Okay, okay, I'll show you how it works."
Adam's face lit up. "What are you going to shoot?"
Leo looked around quickly before his eyes fell upon one of Mr. Davenport's obnoxious mugs, and he grabbed it, setting it on the cyber desk. "Watch this." He typed a command into the mini pad, pointed the barrel at the unsuspecting mug, and pulled the trigger. A blue ball shot out the end and sunk into the side, and before their eyes the shape changed from that of a mug to a small bowl.
"Whoa!" Adam exclaimed in awe. "Is that all it can do?"
"Nope," Leo said smugly, and he typed in another command before shooting the bowl. The bowl morphed into a ceramic apple.
"Whooooooaa! Let me try!" Adam begged. He took it from Leo and began to type in a command.
"Hey, what are you doing?" Leo demanded, grabbing at the machine before Adam could shoot anything. But Adam wasn't willing to give up his prize, and the two fought over it.
Distantly they heard someone shout "Adam! Were you trying to…-" but they were so preoccupied with trying to win control of the machine that they didn't pay any attention to that. And then Leo's hand slipped.
"Gah!" Adam and Leo heard from behind them, and they froze. They spun around to see a grimacing Chase clutching at his chest. "What wa-arg grek," he choked, his eyes bugging out. He opened his mouth again, but an overlong tongue spilled out as his lips began to turn into massive jaws, showing off sharp teeth. He reached up to feel his face, but when he saw his hands growing into furry paws, he screamed (it was actually more of a strangled howl).
The boy dropped to the floor, writhing as his body morphed and shrunk, eventually falling still as he passed out before the transformation ended. When it had finished, Adam and Leo were left staring at a medium sized brown dog, lying very still within the clothes Chase had been wearing.
"Uh, did you know that Chase was a werewolf?" Adam asked in shock.
Leo shook himself from being stunned, grabbing the machine from Adam's grasp. He groaned as he saw the setting. "You turned him into a dog?!"
"That wasn't me! It was all you," Adam argued defensively. "And for the record, I was typing in hot dog."
The two looked at each other. "Now what?" Leo asked.
