Hi everyone! I'm back with a new/old story. As some of you may already know, I'd posted this story before. BUT, it was super short and the plot was not very good. So, I've rewritten this story and stretched out the plot a lot more, made the story better, and added a few things to make it better (hopefully!). This story takes place a couple of days after Bree broke her chip.

If you don't like this, I truly apologize! It was an idea I'd had after I'd first watched "Three Minus Bree," and I didn't know if it would please others as much as it pleased me. If you hate it, you don't have to read it!

The beginning is going to seem pretty cliché, I know, but I assure you that this is only the first chapter. It gets better from here, people. I promise. Thanks for bearing with me, and now on to the story!

I don't own Lab Rats and/or any of the characters. Enjoy!

Chapter 1: I'm Just Tired

"... And so, our main character would be forced to make the right decision here. Do you agree, Ms. Davenport?"

Bree's head shot up as she heard her name, and the smiley face she had been drawing remained unfinished. "Oh… U-Uh, yeah. I agree," Bree muttered, unaware of the fact that the whole classroom had their eyes on her.

A bell rang through the speakers of the classroom, signaling the end of the day. Bree closed her books and shoved them into her bag quickly, wanting to exit the class as soon as possible. She walked briskly passed many staring students and made her way to the door.

"Ms. Davenport?" Bree closed her eyes and paused mid-step at the sound of her teacher's voice.

"Yes, Mrs. Williams?" Bree asked, turning around.

"Um, class, could you give Ms. Davenport and I a moment alone, please?" The group of students began to exit the room silently. Bree locked eyes with Chase, who stood across the room. He gave her a reassuring smile and gestured outside to where he'd be waiting. Bree nodded. Once the classroom was empty, Bree turned to her teacher. "Bree, are you feeling alright? You were unusually quiet today," Mrs. Williams said.

Bree gave her a faint smile. "I'm fine, Mrs. Williams. Just feeling a bit tired today, that's all."

Her teacher nodded and put a comforting hand on her shoulder. "I understand. Would you like me to take you to the nurse's office? Nurse Morgan is a great listener and-"

"No, it's okay. I appreciate it though, Mrs. Williams, I really do. I think all I need is a nap," Bree said with a small chuckle. Mrs. Williams smiled.

"Alright. Well don't forget about that seven-page essay that's due tomorrow, okay?"

Bree's eyes widened. "The what?! I-I don't remember anything about a seven-page essay!" Mrs. Williams laughed.

"Don't worry, I'm just messing with you. But your homework is to get some rest, young lady." Bree gave her teacher a smile.

"Thanks, Mrs. Williams," she said as she made her way over to the door. Bree turned back to her teacher and gave her a wave. "Bye."

"There you are." Bree turned to see her brother leaning against his locker. "How'd it go?" Chase asked.

"It was fine," she replied. "Mrs. Williams was just checking on me."

"Yeah, she had a right to." Bree met her brother's gaze and found that his eyes were filled with concern. "You seemed pretty out of it today. What's up?"

Bree sighed.

"I'm fine, Chase. I'm just tired, that's all."

Chase raised an eyebrow, but decided not to question his sister any further; she looked like she was about to fall asleep standing up. He waited as Bree put her books back into her locker, and allowed her to lead the way back home.

Leo kept his eyes glued on the screen in front of him as Adam's character attacked his with speed that rivaled Bree's. In one slick move, Leo's character slid under Adam's and landed a deafening blow.

"Yes!" Leo cried triumphantly while Adam threw his remote to the floor.

"You know what? I don't even like this game," Adam muttered and stalked off, making his way to the fridge. He pulled it open and smiled in delight, pulling out a pack of salami. "I like this salami better than those stupid video games, and it likes me back. You like me, don't you salami?"

Leo rolled his eyes and picked up Adam's controller. Just as he was about to ask for a rematch, the front door opened and Chase and Bree strolled in.

"Hey, what took you guys so long?" Adam asked from the kitchen, petting his pack of salami.

"Bree just had to talk with Mrs. Williams for a little while," Chase answered.

"Oh okay… And who is Mrs. Williams again?"

"Wonder Woman," Bree replied, clearly already annoyed with her brother's questions.

"You got to talk to Wonder Woman?!" Adam exclaimed. "Can you ask her to sign my underwear for me?"

"First off, Mrs. Williams is our English teacher, and has been for the past year. Second, you have Wonder Woman underwear?" Bree asked, giving Adam a weird look.

"Uh, yeah I do. Wonder Woman underwear is manly!"

Bree rolled her eyes and trudged towards the elevator. "I'm going to take a nap," she announced, stepping inside the open doors. "Wake me up when I'm old enough to ditch you weirdos." The elevator doors closed, leaving the three boys dumbfounded.

"What's up with her?" Leo asked, his gaze still trained on the closed doors of the elevator. "She seems extra annoyed with us today."

Chase scoffed. "When is she not annoyed with us?"

"True. But… She looked exhausted. Is she alright?"

"Yeah, I noticed. I'm not sure. She won't tell me what's bothering her. The only thing she's told me is that she's 'just tired,'" Chase informed his younger brother. "She was really out of it in English today… I-I don't know."

The boys sat in silence, each pondering the possibilities of what could be wrong with their sister.

"I'm sure she's fine, she probably just didn't sleep very well last night," Chase guessed. "Or maybe her and Caitlin had another fight."

"Yeah. Yeah, you're probably right," Leo said, nodding his head. "I mean, she's Bree. She can take care of herself. Right, Adam?"

"Hmm?"

Chase and Leo looked to the kitchen where Adam stood, several slices of salami wedged tightly between his lips.

"Mmmmm… Thm mm-mmmmm!" Adam exclaimed.

"What? We can't hear you, lunch-meat-mouth!" Leo snapped, walking over and pulling the salami from his brother's grasp.

"I said, 'mmmmm… This is mmmmm!'" Leo rolled his eyes, but Adam wasn't done. "I mean just because Batman doesn't like salami, doesn't mean that everyone else has to not like it. Maybe the salami has feelings, too! It's okay salami, I love you," Adam said, grabbing the package. He held it close to his chest, cradling it as if it were a kitten. "Yes, baby, I love you. Batman is just jealous."

Leo turned to Chase and whispered, "Maybe I should've left the salami in his mouth." They both watched as Adam continued to talk to the salami, stroking it softly as he spoke.

"Yes. You most definitely should have," Chase muttered.

Yeah, so that's the first chapter… It didn't end on a cliffhanger (yet mwahaha!), and it wasn't the most exciting chapter, but I promise you that it gets better from here. Loved it? Hated it? Let me know; reviews are appreciated greatly! Thanks for reading, and I'll see you guys next chapter!
