When Marcus discovered the lab yesterday and Mr. Davenport told Adam, Bree and Chase that they had to be careful who they let into their lives, my heart shatter because I thought this would be the end of my friendships with Adam and Bree and my relationship with Chase. But surely after that ALL the Davenports, including Mr. Davenport, assured me that that outcome wasn't going to happen. So here I sit in the lab with the Davenports before school on a I-don't-want-to-go-to-school Monday morning. I was sitting in between Chase, who was holding onto my hand, and Bree who was brushing her hair.
"Tonight's the night! The new frozen yogurt shop is opening! Fifty two flavors and four of them are sugar free!" Chase went on and on about this new yogurt shop that was big news around school. It seemed like the entire school was going. Bree gave him a look "Oh who are you kidding. You past out the first time you discovered nail polish thanks to Katie over here."
I gave him a look "Don't start that again Chase." He gave me a small smile before Adam walked over to the table.
"I've heard of those yogurt places. They get you by charging extra for toppings so I'm bringing my own," Adam said and he opened up his jacket to reveal many assorted candy toppings. I just rolled my eyes. Anything Adam does doesn't really surprise me anymore "You don't even want to know what's in my pants." Adam slapped his sides and winced "OHH! Ah! Hot butterscotch!"
"Sorry you guys are coming home straight after school." Davenport said "So no flavors. No froyos. No hanging with the bros, peeps and homies." I rolled my eyes and smirked.
"Bros, peeps and homies?" Bree asked and Davenport nodded "Don't! Just...no!"
"What's got you so grouchy?" Leo asked "They run out of human stools at the rich guy club?"
"Did you forget you're little buddy Marcus found the lab yesterday?" I winced. He doesn't need to remind me. I was there "He could have discovered are bionic secret."
"Oh! So it's out fault that your million dollar smart home system didn't stop him?" Bree asked.
Eddie came on his little screen "Don't go there supergirl. I was getting my beauty sleep. Something you might want to look into." Bree and I rolled our eyes while Adam and Chase 'Oooooo'd' at Eddie's comment.
"Look it doesn't matter who's fault it was. Even though someone was suppose to be watching him." Mr. Davenport said while pointing at Leo.
"Well technically someone," Leo said pointing back at Davenport "pulled Leo away letting Marcus roam free."
"Guys. I think you're talking about each other." Adam replied.
"Bottom line: I'm keeping a tighter leash on you three. And Leo since I can't always be there, you have to step it up and do a better job of watching out for them."
"No problem Big D. I may have let one goon get too close but I won't let any Marcus' slip through the cracks. From now on you can call me 'the Inforcer'."
When Davenport left the lab, Leo went all Enforcer on Adam, Bree and Chase.
"The hammer is down people." Leo said "No more talking to boys," he pointed to Bree "No more talking to girls," Leo pointed to Adam "No more helping old ladies to their cars."
I looked at my boyfriend confused "You help old ladies to their cars?"
"I was helping YOUR grandmother." Chase explained and Leo got all up in his face cutting Chase off.
"Trust no one." I coughed and gave Leo a pointed look "Except Katie."
The door to the lab slid open and Davenport came out screaming "It's here! It's here! It's here!"
"What is it?" Bree asked.
"Whatever it is, I hope it came with a big box of masculinity cause I never want to see THAT again." Eddie said and he disappeared.
"Just come here!" Davenport said and we followed him into his garage. When we arrived I stopped dead in my tracks and my jaw dropped.
"Meet the world's self driving car!" Davenport geeked out "Designed my yours truely. Just when you thought I couldn't get more awesome, I got more awesome!"
"And Boom! I still want to be dropped a block away from school." Bree said and I smiled at her.
"So how does this thing drive itself?" Leo asked.
"Oh, well, ah, see this panel on top? It receives a satellite signal and sends pertinent information to the car's on board computer and wal lah, drives itself! Hey did I mention, by the way, this car go's two hundred miles an hour? No? That's because it goes three hundred!"
Holy cow on a bun.
Davenport pressed a button that activated the car and the car spoke "Good evening Donald. Would you like to take a ride?"
Davenport chuckled and Leo said "She sounds classy.
The doors then slid open behind us and Tasha came through "Guys! What are you doing? You're gonna be late for school! Go, go, go, go, go, go!" She rushed us out and I grabbed my bag and left. Onto another horrifying day at Mission Creek High School.
During classes we were in the halls hanging out. Bree and I were talking about what happened to out Lit teacher in homeroom. Leo was glancing over at Adam who was flirting with a girl named Becky. She's in my Spanish class. And yes I take a foreign language!
"Becky, loving the new T," he said.
Leo inserted himself into the conversation "Sorry Becky. Adam can't talk right now. He has a horrible disease. You better jet before his fly starts eating himself." (AN: I heard the word fly. I'm sorry if it's something else.)
Bree put a hand on Leo shoudlers "Leo! You are taking this Enforcer thing way too far."
You can say that again. Leo has been bugging us all. Before the second bell rang, I was at my locker talking to Chase. He then kissed me and Leo stuck a metal detector in between us even though he knows I wouldn't betray them like that. He said it was because it was gross and we shouldn't be doing that anywhere near him.
"I have no idea what your talking about?"
A guy walked over to us and Leo stopped him and stuck a metal detector and scanned the guy with it "You're good." Leo said and motioned for the guy to walk away.
I saw Marcus and waved him over "Hey guys, what's up?"
"I'll tell you what's up! Your time here," Leo said pointing the metal detector towards the door "Get lost creepy."
Marcus just laughed and I smiled at how cool he could be "Silly Leo! So guys, are you excited for the frozen yogurt shop? They're giving out unlimited toppings. Principal Perry's been camped out for a week."
"Unlimited toppings? Someone could have told me that before I filled my socks up with gummy frogs." Adam said.
Leo walked over to us and mutter "Stranger danger."
"Uh, sorry Marcus. We can't go." Chase said as he wrapped and arm around my shoulders.
"Yeah we have chores to do." Bree said.
Adam rolled his eyes "No we don't. We have an uptight dad who's afraid we'll reveal our secret." All of our heads turned to him and he caught what we said "Recipe! For Chili! That works! Let's go!" Chase grabbed my hand and we all dashed out of school. I sighed in relief when we got back to the Davenport's home. Soon after I went back to my house and changed in a fresh pair of jeans, a purple shirt that said Love Me or Love Me Not with a small lips stain taking place of each 'o'. I put on my favorite purple flats and walked out the door with some money and my phone. I texted Bree once I got there.
Dude! The whole school is here! Even the lacintolerant Susie Reynolds is here! Wish you and the guys could have come! Miss you! ~K
"Katie you came!" I turned my head and saw Marcus come over to me.
"That I did." I said "I couldn't miss this! The whole school is here! Is that Principal Perry eating Tutti Frutti fro-yo straight from the despenser?"
Marcus laughed "No way! I gotta text Chase this!"
Suddenly I felt guilty for being here. My boyfriend and my best friends were stuck at home while I was here with Marcus having so much fun. Adam, Bree and Chase were looking foreward to this all week. I felt a hand on my shoulder and I looked up to see Marcus looking back at me "You okay?"
I nodded "I'm fine Marcus." I smiled "Thanks."
Suddenly Davenport's self driving car pulled up in the parking lot and Chase, Adam and Bree climbed out.
"What are you guys doing here? I thought you weren't aloud to come?" I asked and I kissed Chase on the corner of his mouth.
"We couldn't miss this!" Bree sauntered over and gave me a side hug.
Marcus was inspecting the car "This thing is awesome!" Marcus said.
"Yeah, you say any destination and it automatically takes you there." Chase replied.
"Yeah, no matter how many times I tell it to take me to a better life. Here I am."
I looked at Bree "You've been a sarcastic mood lately. What's up with you?" I asked.
She nudged my shoulder "I'll tell you later."
"And get this: It even has a compartment for your gloves." Adam said.
"So guys. The line looks pretty long. Maybe we should just cruise this thing over to my house." Marcus suggested.
A panting Leo came running into the parking lot "Hold it!" When Leo calmed down from breathing too hard, he had Marcus had a stare down "Eddie told me you guys snuck out! You're all coming with me."
Bree scoffed "No we're not."
"Oh yes you are." Leo shot back.
"You can't tell us what to do."
"Yeah you're not the boss of us. What'd you do? Run over here?" Adam asked.
"Yes!"
They began to start and argument and I just stood there. This technically wasn't my place. The argument died down "I'm warning you!" Leo said "Do not make me call for back up." Leo paused "Because I do not have any back up."
"Guys Leo's right. I don't want you to get in trouble. Maybe you should go home but at least grab some yogurt before you go. I'll watch the car." We all walked away but Leo stayed behind. Once we got in there Adam went crazy and grab two fro-yo cones.
"Okay Bree. Now can you tell me what's going on with you please?" I asked.
Bree sighed "It's just being the only girl trapped in a house full of boys is a pain in the butt. I'm always getting picked on. It's driving me insane!"
"Do you want me to talk to Chase about it?"
Bree shook her head "No! I'm fine, really. Just fed up with it."
When we came back the parking space was empty "Uh, where's Leo?" Bree asked.
"More importantly, where's the car?" Chase said.
"Even more importantly, where are the napkins?" I took a few out of my pockets and handed Adam a couple. My thoughts went back to the empty car space.
"Leo probably went for a joy ride," Marcus said "I'll just call my dad to pick us up. He's been dying to meet you guys."
Bree's phone started ringing "It's Leo." Bree answered the phone "Leo where are you?"
Bree then hung up "Guys, Leo is in trouble. We have to go help him. Sorry Marcus we gotta go."
"Wait, you can't go yet." I looked at him strangly but thought nothing of it when he motioned for the guy in the fro-yo costume "We haven't taken a picture with the Fro-yo a go go do-yo!"
"Oh right!" Adam said taking out his phone from his pocket and took a picture.
I followed them over to the end of the parking lot. I wanted to help Leo out. Bree put Leo on speaker phone as we all huddled around her phone.
"Hey, Leo. The left peddle is called a break. Take your foot and step on it."
"Don't you think I would have tried that already?!" Leo started yelling.
"Hey! If you can't be polite then this conversation is over." Adam said and made a move to press the end button on Bree's phone but the three of us played tug-o-war with her phone.
Chase spoke into the speaker "Leo, I'll use your cell signal to locate the car with my bionic GPS."
Chase tapped his temple and his Iris turned blue. If I wasn't so scared for Leo's life, this would have been totally cool and amazingly hot right now "Got him! Taylor Avenue and 28th."
"Great, I'll use my super speed to catch up to the car and pull him out." Bree sped off and I took Chase's hand.
"Do you think Leo will be okay?" I asked him and Chase kissed my forehead.
"He'll be fine. Don't worry. Bree will get him out safely."
Somehow when he said this it didn't make me feel any better.
About thirty minutes later Bree came back and her hair was all tangled and a leave was stuck in it "What happend to you?" Chase asked.
"You those signs that say deer crossing? They don't lie. I don't know how we're going to stop that car."
"What? You don't think the ocean's gonna stop it?" Adam asked. How is he even in high school?
"The cars being driven by an internal computer system. Maybe I can tap into it remotely and shut it down." Chase then spoke into the phone "Hang on Leo. I'm gonna try something."
Again Chase tapped his temple and blue bean shot out of his eye and into the sky. Hey that rhymed! Not now Katie! Have to save Leo first.
"Well Chase," we heard from the other line "you've completed the fourteen point maitnece check list. Now all we need is an oil change and we're good to go!" Leo started yelling. Chase tilted his head and I put a reassuring hand on his shoulder and squeezed.
"Okay the car will tap into it's CPU but what if there was a way for me to block it's satillite signal." Chase said.
Most of this is going in one ear and out the other. Maybe I should take a computer class next year.
Now is not the time!
"Is your force field powerful enough?" Bree asked.
"Well yeah but I'd have to surround the entire car. Which is miles away and moving fast. I could never throw that far."
"You can't but I can!" Adam said.
"Yes! You can! If I can calculate the distance arc and force necessary to launch, I can guide your arm and use your strength to hurl the force field to the car."
"Ah! So it's like a bionic brocombo, a bromotion, a brotation, a superbionicbro-"
"Just do it already!" Bree yelled and I nodded.
"Hurry. Hurry!" Leo yelled into the phone.
"Okay we only got one chance. You've gotta think of it like a basketball. We're shooting a full court shot across ninty eight courts and we're moving at...a hundred and twenty five miles per hour."
"Numbers, numbers blah blah blah. Just tell me what I'm chucking!" Adam said.
"Guys," that was Leo "I'm sorry. You tried to rescue me when I'm suppose to be protecting you. Looks like I wasn't a good enough Enforcer."
"No you weren't." Adam said and I smacked his arm even though he couldn't feel it.
"Just get ready."
"I hope this works guys." I told them.
Bree and I stood to the side while Chase powered up his force field "Get on your knees."
Adam sighed and did as he was told. Chase then handed him his force field and stood behind Adam "Perfect. In 3, 2, 1." and Adam threw the ball of energy into the air. Chase then fell onto Adam and Bree took a picture on her phone.
"I don't know what that was but it's going on my profile page." Bree said.
"Hey can you send me that picture?" I asked and Chase looked up at me "What? It's called leverage honey."
Both of them shot up to stand and Bree and a laughed. It suddenly got serious "Let's see if it worked."
Chase's map thingy came on and it showed the force field hitting the car. The car stopped as it break towards the edge of the cliff.
"It worked!" Chase said "The car stopped!" The four of us hugged and I sighed in relief.
The Davenport's took me home in their self driving death trap and I held my breath as I was in the car. After seeing what happend with Leo, I wanted nothing to do with this car.
Bree, Adam and Leo waved goodbye and Chase walked to me to the door "Would you count this as a date?" Chase asked and I looked at him as if he had grown three heads.
"Not even close!"
Chase smiled and kissed me softly "We should get going before Davenport finds the car missing."
I waved goodbye and unlocked my door. When I got to my room I threw myself on the bed and fell into a dreamless sleep.
My phone woke me up and I pressed the call button "Hello?"
"Babe, were you asleep?"
I rubbed my eyes "Just taking a nap. What's up?"
"Adam blew up Davenport's car by filling gas into it."
"But isn't the car electric?"
"Exactly!" Suddenly I just started laughing.
"That's hilarious!" I laughed "What did Davenport do when he found out?"
"I think he fainted." We both started laughing.
"Well I'm gonna go back to sleep Chase. I'll see you tomorrow, okay?"
"Okay. And Katie?"
"Yeah?" I asked.
"I love you."
"Love you too Chase."
