"Douglas, what do we do?" Chase asked Douglas, seeing him lying down on the floor, in massive pain. "Do you think this my fault?"
"I need Adam...Leo...Donald." Douglas moaned, unable to get up.
"I'll go give Perry some help," Skylar suggested. "In getting them I mean."
"Yeah, that's never going to stop sounding weird," Bree said, as Skylar sped off.
"Well, I guess we need to wait," said Oliver.
"Yeah, that's a good idea," Kaz replied. "Oliver, please help me get Douglas to the couch."
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
The next day, Douglas was discovered in a coma. He remained in that coma for a while. "Douglas, wake up!" Leo exclaimed. He, Tasha, Adam, Leo, Donald, and the team were in the living room.
"Wha-what?" Douglas asked. He was lying on the couch, wearing black sunglasses.
"We're here now, Douglas," Leo said.
"Thank you, son," Douglas replied.
"Son?" Leo gasped. He took his phone out of his pocket and realized there were no photos of his dad, who had died when he was five. Still, why did he only look like his mother? The possibility was open to debate.
"I said nothing, Leo," Douglas replied hastily.
"Douglas, it's February 2016," Donald said.
"Why was I unconscious for 3 months?" Douglas interrogated.
"You were in a coma, but Kaz saved you," Donald explained.
"What has changed?" Douglas asked.
"Chase, I'd prefer you leave the room now, I'm about to say some pretty heavy stuff," Oliver said.
"Fine..." Chase said. "But none of this would have happened if I hadn't let Reese in the penthouse in the first place." Chase walked out.
"Rodissius died," said Oliver. "Reese told us, and tried to make a truce. Leo gave in, and now he and Reese are in a relationship. Reese's mother is now Tasha's rival. Daniel ran away, and took Naomi. Bree and Kaz are dating. The bionic students set out on their own, Skylar's a movie producer, Bree is becoming self-obsessed, Kaz has started to talk strangely, Tasha is treating Leo like a baby and acts a bit evil now, Donald and Tasha have not made love since Christmas, Adam's a magician and lives on a yacht, he also has a religious girlfriend, Leo's acting like a child, Skylar and I got married, and I am the only sane one left."
"Yikes," said Douglas. "Maybe tone down the detail next time." Bree giggled.
"Shush it, Bree," said Oliver.
"Douglas, I'm retiring from Davenport Industries," Donald said. "We're having a party, with free shrimp."
"Now my hair's even better than yours!" Douglas laughed, pointing to the few thick bristles lining Donald's head.
"Be nice, Douggy," Donald growled.
"I'll come to the party, Donnie," Douglas replied.
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"Oliver, wake up!" Chase yelled. Oliver was sleeping in Chase's capsule.
"What's up?" Oliver asked.
"Are you aware that you were sleeping in my capsule? I had to borrow Leo's arm and leg capsules, and not to mention how badly I glitched." Chase said.
"Sorry, dude, but Skylar told me she wanted privacy," Oliver replied.
"You should never have taken this marriage so seriously!" Chase reminded Oliver.
"Oh yeah, you're always saying the most important thing is family and friends," Oliver grunted.
"It's actually breakfast," said Chase. "I think Mr. Davenport will pick me to run Davenport Industries, which is finally going to be successful."
"Well, with things turning around for DI, we could move out. I'd like to see how things function if the team heads get the heck out of here." Oliver says.
"No way, we're staying." Chase protested. "Let's discuss this after breakfast."
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Chase and Oliver entered the Davenport Tower Penthouse.
"Ah, here we are," Chase said sarcastically. "Home sweet home!"
"Oliver! Chase! You're just in time for brunch!" Tasha said. She, the girls, Adam, Leo, and Donald were sitting around the table.
"Happy to be here!" Chase said. Oliver eyed Skylar with concern.
"I have great news about Donald's retirement party. We're holding it on a ship, and naming you CEO of Davenport Industries." Tasha said.
"Oh no!" Leo groaned.
"What's wrong with him?" asked Skylar.
"A couple months ago, a shark attacked him," Tasha replied.
"Yep, my shark, which I gave a taste for mammal blood," Adam admitted.
"Conflict between Leo and Adam aside, I hope DI becomes thriving with me as boss. We can even sell our stocks for 2 million." Chase said.
"2 million," Adam chanted. Leo, the girls, Donald, Tasha, Kaz, and Oliver joined in, all chanting "Two million, two million!"
"That's a lot less than what you think it is," Chase said. "And we shouldn't, because DI needs to move forward."
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
A few hours later, Chase awoke from his nap to find Bree in his capsule.
"What the heck, Bree?" Chase asked. "You need to give me some privacy."
"I need to sell my stocks, Chase," Bree said, moving out of the capsule.
"Wait, why?" Chase asked, mad.
"I'm nearly 20, and I need to break up with Kaz," Bree explained.
"The honestly run family business will generate plenty of money!" Chase reminded her. Chase's phone rang.
"Hello?" Chase asked.
"Tasha is an evil mastermind, Chase," Donald said.
"How do you know?" Chase asked, shocked.
"She has forced me to do many dirty things. Back in 1993, she stole the banana stand of a Korean immigrant and had him deported. She'll never allow a clean business." Donald explained.
"So she's behind all that stuff you did?" Chase asked.
"Afraid so," said Donald.
"Where is Adam?" Chase asked, curious.
"I don't know where Adam lives," said Donald.
An eavesdropping Bree says, " I just assumed Adam lived with us."
"Him?" Kaz asked. "I've always pictured him in a lighthouse."
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Chase and Leo came near the harbor.
"Please cancel the boat reservation, as I hate the O.C," Leo explained.
"Don't call it that," Chase pleaded. "But yeah, sure I will."
"Your girlfriend asked about you," Leo said.
"She is NOT my girlfriend!" Chase exclaimed. Chase began to make fists and put on an angry face.
"Nevermind," Leo said, running off.
"Wait, Leo, come back!" Chase yelled, but to no avail. Chase then looked at the boat docked on the harbor. It was called the Seaward. Adam then walked out.
"Adam, what are you doing here?" Chase asked.
"I kinda live here," Adam replied.
"So lighthouse wasn't far off," Chase muttered. "How are you going to pay for this boat?"
"Alright, so you remember your old girlfriend, Sabrina?" Adam wondered.
"Her?" Chase asked, confused. He couldn't quite remember Sabrina.
"Well, her dad is Stan Sitwell. Dad's business rival." Adam said.
"Him?" Chase asked. "You seem kinda different, Adam."
"How so?" Adam asked.
"You seem smarter," Chase explained.
"Yeah, I got a bionic upgrade," Adam said. "It feels overwhelming, though, so I may need it removed. Anyways, Mr. Sitwell offered me a job. I can make the money to pay for it."
"That probably won't work, Mr. Magic," Chase argued. He stepped away to call Tasha.
"Tasha, Adam stole a boat and won't give it back," Chase said.
"Have Davenport Industries lease it to him to show that we are a united family," Tasha suggested.
"But that might make me sell out!" Chase said.
"That's what I'm counting on," Tasha said devilishly.
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Chase sat in his office, doing paperwork when Oliver walked in.
"I've made a huge mistake," Oliver said.
"What is it, buddy?" Chase asked.
"I just don't think Skylar really loves me, she's only paying me back. For being a weird creep." Oliver admitted.
"You're still jealous about that incident last year, aren't you?" Chase asked.
"Yes," said Oliver. "But I've changed. I no longer fear babies or needles, and I don't do that creepy stuff anymore. I just wish Skylar could see that."
"I know, you could get engaged to her. That'll help for sure. I remember seeing Leo propose to Janelle, and she rejected him. If she rejects, she doesn't love you, and if she doesn't, she does love you." Chase elaborated.
"We already did get married though," Oliver puzzled.
"That was just a fake wedding for Alzheimer's," Chase reminded him.
"Right. Thanks, Chase. You're the best!" Oliver said, hugging Chase and heading out. Leo then walked in.
"What's up, Leo?" Chase asked.
"You mentioned Janelle?" Leo asked.
"Indeed I did, so what?" Chase asked.
"Reese broke up with me," said Leo. "So I'm going to find Janelle. She's the girl for me."
"Good luck!" Chase said. Leo smiled and exited the room.
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Bree arrived at the office of Sabrina's father, Stan, who was waiting at the door.
"Bree, what a pleasant surprise!" Stan said.
"I am not giving you my five percent shares of Davenport Industries!" Bree exclaimed.
"That's not what I meant by 'pleasant surprise'." Stan laughed. "Why did you not get as much as your father's natural children?"
"Just because I was genetically engineered doesn't make me not real," Bree argued.
"No, Bree, you're adopted!" Stan confessed. "You're actually the daughter of your mother's first husband's brother."
"Wait, what?" Bree asked. "So my real parents created me? I'm adopted! This is the best news ever!"
"You didn't know? Sorry, I thought you would've by now. You were almost Naomi Sitwell. But your father adopted you out from under us, and we said goodbye to our darling little 3-year old." Stan revealed. "We should do something for your twentieth next week."
"What?" Bree gasped, throwing a tantrum. Stan got the security guards to haul her away.
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Skylar arrived at her movie studio, Tantamount Studios. As she got to her office, Perry stopped her.
"You're being replaced since you're not the age you claim to be. Sorry, Sky." Perry explained. "Also, I work here now."
"That's cool that you work here. Guess I'll pack up," said Skylar, heading into her office. Her boss, Trent Andrews, was sitting at her desk.
"So, I'm fired?" Skylar asked.
"Of course not!" Trent chuckled. "I've had ten requests to make a TV show out of your story! This is the biggest thing that has happened since we hired that no-brain to run Drama Development."
"That's awesome!" Skylar cheered. "Wait, is there a catch?"
"I'm afraid so," Trent sighed.
"What is it?" Skylar asked, concerned.
"You have to get the signatures of all your friends," Trent replied.
"Oh, yay..." Skylar clapped sarcastically.
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
For some odd reason, Chase found himself unable to sleep. Maybe it was the pressure of having to constantly compromise his morals for his family and friends. Or maybe, it was the fact that Bree had entered his capsule, and was sleeping with him.
"Bree, wake up!" Chase growled.
"What's the deal, Chasey-poo?" Bree asked, lunging towards Chase's mouth.
"Whoa, whoa..." Chase said. "Stop it, Bree. You're my sister!" He pushed Bree away.
"No, I'm not!" Bree laughed, planting a kiss on Chase's cheek. "I'm adopted! I'm not a Davenport."
"But what about Kaz?" Chase asked.
"I think he's gay, and I don't love him, and again, I'm not really your sister!" Bree explained.
"But, uh, Bree..." Chase stuttered. Bree grabbed Chase, hugged him, and kissed him fully on the lips.
"I'm not really that into older women," Chase said.
"You bastard!" Bree exclaimed.
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
When Chase awoke the next morning, he found Kaz in his capsule.
"What the heck, Kaz?" Chase asked. "First my sister, now you?"
"I can't sleep in the same room as that woman. She wants out of this relationship." Kaz replied.
"Good idea, as we got intimate last night," Chase lied.
"If I was any other man, I'd punch you for that, but as I'm me, just go for it," said Kaz.
"My relationship with Bree aside, why else are you here?" Chase asked.
"Well, I want to sell my stock before I break up with Bree," said Kaz.
"Tell you what," Chase suggested. "You get them to relocate the party to a place that isn't a boat, and I'll make you an event planner."
"Deal," said Kaz.
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Leo arrived at Janelle's house to win her back. When he rang the doorbell, a man he did not recognize answered.
"Who are you looking for?" The man asked.
"Janelle," Leo replied.
"Nice to meet you. I'm her Uncle, Paul. Janelle has moved in with her boyfriend." Uncle Paul said.
"Ok, where does he live?" Leo asked.
"Fossils were never alive. They're just something the Jews buried in 1924." Uncle Paul replied.
"No," Leo argued. "I asked about her boyfriend."
"The end? Three weeks, then humanity is wiped out." Uncle Paul said.
"I said Janelle's boyfriend!" Leo yelled, running away. He ran right past Oliver.
"Leo, get back here!" Oliver yelled, running after him.
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"A word, Douglas?" Chase asked as he entered the penthouse.
"What about?" Douglas asked innocently.
"I have feelings for Bree," Chase admitted.
"What do you mean, son? You like, like her?" Douglas asked.
"Yes, I thought she wasn't my real sister, and I know it's wrong, but my love for Bree is real," Chase replied.
"You're right, Bree's not your sister. She's adopted. She may not be a blood relative, but she is still family. How long has this been going on?" Douglas said.
" I just now realized that I have always loved Bree," Chase replied. "But you're right, we shouldn't go out."
"That's my boy." Douglas smiled.
"Why didn't you tell anyone that she was adopted?" Chase asked.
"It seemed wrong. Adopting a child I didn't want just to stick it to a competitor." Douglas replied. "They wanted to call her Naomi."
Tasha then walked in. "Hello, Douggy and Chase."
"Hey, Tasha. Bree's adopted, so it's hard for me to stop everyone from selling their shares." Chase said.
"How about an accrued cash dividend? The family won't get their money until they agree not to sell their shares for ten years." Tasha suggested.
"That's illegal, Tasha." Chase said, heading for the door.
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Kaz saw Chase walking out of Davenport Tower.
"Good news, Chase. I booked the RMS Queen Mary for the party." Kaz announced.
"That's the ship," said Chase.
"No, it's a chain of popular nightclubs. I've never been to this particular location, though. I hear it's near water." Kaz said.
"That's the ship," Chase repeated, angrily.
"No, they've actually welded it to the dock." Kaz said.
Oliver, who was lurking behind a bush, was shocked by this news. "I need to warn Leo!" Oliver ran towards the harbor, where he had last seen Leo. Leo knocked on the door of the Seaward. "Adam?" He asked hopefully.
Adam then walked out. "Leo, hey! What a surprise!"
"Hey, I just ran into Janelle's Uncle, and he's just as clueless as you," Leo said.
"You know about her?" Adam asked.
"Who?" asked Leo.
"Janelle," Adam said. Janelle then walked out.
"Her?" Leo asked.
"Yeah, we've been dating since that Miss Inner Beauty Pageant," Adam said.
"It's no big deal. We live here together on this boat, and we love each other." Janelle said.
"Yeah, Janelle needs a man!" Adam laughed.
"Thankfully, I'm a man!" Leo exclaimed, socking Adam in the jaw.
Oliver went over to Leo. "Get away Leo, skedaddle!"
"Okay, bye, Oliver, see ya!" Leo ran off.
Janelle screamed, "What did you do to Adam?"
Leo then found himself at the location of the party.
"Aw, ship!" Leo half-cursed, half-punned. He then bumped into Skylar.
"Leo, can you sign my petition?" Skylar asked.
"Gladly, Skylar." said Leo, getting out a pencil.
"Sign mine too! Nobody is selling their stocks!" Tasha exclaimed.
"What's going on, guys?" Leo asked.
"We both have petitions," Skylar shrugged, signing Tasha's.
"Where's Oliver?" Tasha asks.
"Over at Adam's boat. I knocked him out cold." Leo said.
"Leonard Francis Dooley, you know better than to hurt your step-brother." Tasha scolded.
"I'll go get him," Chase suggested. He ran over to the docks, where Adam was lying down.
"You okay, Adam?" Chase asked.
"Yeah, Leo knocked me out because of who I'm dating," Adam replied, getting up.
"Ugh, I just wanted him to cancel the reservation." Chase groaned. "Who are you dating?"
"Janelle," said Adam.
"Her?" asked Chase.
"Yeah, may I go to the party?" Adam asked.
"Go for it," said Chase. Adam shoved past him.
"Adam, I'm adopted!" Bree revealed as she saw Adam approaching.
"Nice. Would you want to go out with an attractive young man such as me?" Adam asked, winking at Bree.
"NO!" Bree yelled. She slapped Adam across the face. "Because I am already in love with Kaz!"
"Please collect signatures for me, Skylar," said Tasha.
"Sure thing," said Skylar, taking her petition and walking over to Kaz. Chase got onstage, and Oliver ran over.
"Hello," Chase announced over the microphone. "My name is Chase Davenport. 4 years ago, I made a pact to lead a bionic team to be heroes, same with a superhero and bionic team. And it looks like...I succeeded." Chase began to cry.
"Not exactly a turn-on," Adam muttered.
"And I want to thank my amazing family and friends. My loving father, Donald Davenport, for always being there for me." Chase continued.
"He's a great man!" Donald exclaimed. Everyone laughed.
"And my wonderful sister, Bree, yes, she is my sister, no matter what any piece of paper says. And her boyfriend, Kaz, deep down, they both love each other. My step-mother Tasha, for being such a big help in adjusting me to normal life. My stepbrother, Leo, my rival, Oliver, my non-crush, Skylar, his wife, and my brother, Adam, a guy who shows love in beautiful ways." Chase finished. Chase then noticed Oliver was gone again.
"Chase, I gave Oliver the Seaward, so he won't hit me again," Adam explained.
"Oh darn. I need to find him." Chase groans.
"No!" Tasha pleaded. "If you leave it'll look bad to the investors."
"I don't care!" Chase yelled. "You're not my mother!" Chase stormed off. Tasha then ran over to the snack bar, where Stan was.
"I've never seen a CEO cry before. Are you sure Chase is a good choice for CEO?" Stan asked.
Tasha stopped to think. "No, he's not. You're a better choice."
"Thanks. Can you sell Davenport Industries to me for 12 percent above the market price?" Stan asked.
"Certainly," said Tasha, getting out the paperwork. As they were talking, Chase looked through the telescope and saw the Seaward in the harbor. He rushed towards a dinghy and chased after Oliver.
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Back on the Queen Mary, Adam was gazing through the telescope. He noticed black boats with loud sirens.
"Are those police boats?" asked Adam.
"It's the securities and exchange commission," Donald said, ripping off his face. "Just kidding, I'm not Donald, I'm Douglas."
"They have boats?" Leo asked. "Why did you disguise yourself, Douglas?"
"In case they came looking for me...which they have," said Douglas. "You set me up, Tasha! You turned me in."
"Tasha? I'm not Tasha," said Donald, removing his cybercloak.
"Stupid Douglas, there's no such thing as free shrimp," said Douglas, feeling his shaved scalp.
"Just kidding, I'm Tasha," said Tasha, taking her cybercloak off again.
"Mom, stop this kidding around," said Leo. "Someone in this family must have turned Douglas in."
"Or someone who used to be." said a familiar voice.
"Daniel?" Douglas asked.
"Hello," said Daniel. "Dad, remember that woman you had me with?"
"Yes, what about her?" Douglas asked.
"Her father made a banana stand. One which your dad stole from him. I turned you in, as revenge. Good to see ya, Dad."
"Daniel, don't be like Marcus!" Douglas pleaded.
"Sorry, dad, you're going where you belong," Daniel said.
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Chase caught up to Oliver.
"Why are you fleeing?" Chase asked.
"I'm sick of Centium City and your crazy family. Why can't we just go get a new start at Mr. Davenport's beach house in Cabo?" Oliver said.
"You're right, Oliver," said Chase. "We have a full tank of gas, a house in Cabo, and 500,000 in cashier's checks. Let's let them handle their own problems."
"Can't we go stick with them?" Oliver asked as a massive wave rocked the yacht, knocking out Chase. Oliver looked out the window. Douglas was pulling the Queen Mary out of the harbor.
"Full steam, boys!" Douglas yelled. Leo fell out of the rocking boat. Douglas noticed a shark. "Look out for ta sha-" Douglas began to say, only for the shark to get near Leo, and bite his hand off. "I don't care about Mom...ahhhhhhh!" Leo screamed. Oliver steered the Seaward through the open sea. He woke Chase up.
"From now on Chase," Oliver said. "We're best buds."
"Deal," said Chase. They put their arms around each other and rode off into the sunset.
