Chapter 2: Crush, Chop, Burn & Andrews
A/N So I basically have no life so this story will be updated relatively fast. It just depends on how fast I can find the episodes
Cassie's POV
The next morning Mr. D, Leo, Adam, Bree, Chase and I were down in the lab. Leo was sitting in a spinning chair off to the side of the desk I was sitting on to have a front row seat to watch Mr. D train Chase. Oh Bree and Adam were there too, they were standing on either side of me.
"Okay, Chase" Mr. D started "Enemy grenade, three o' clock!" Mr. D threw something at Chase which he quickly blocked with a force field, yeah that's right.
"That was so Awesome" I exclaimed kicking my feet a little. And thankfully Adam spoke so the fact that I Just squealed like a fan girl over Chase wasn't bought up. But of course Chase noticed and I could tell by the way he was beaming at me.
"Hey! Why does he get a forcefeild, and I don't?" Adam whined
"Cause you're not as cool as Chase" I muttered to myself and once again thankfully no one heard cause of Bree's comment. I really need to watch what I say, one of these days Chase is going to hear, and that won't be good.
"'cause if you had one, I wouldn't be able to do this" Bree explained throwing a water bottle at him.
"Oh and because you're not as cool as me, I suppose" my head instantly snapped over to Chase who was smiling "Well at least that's what Cassie thinks" Chase gloated
"What?" I asked as heat rose to my cheeks.
"Super hearing" he said pointing to his ears
"Oh" was all I said as I awkwardly shifted positions.
"Okay" Mr. D said breaking the silence "you guys take the rest of the day off. I'm going to go speak at a tech conference because I'm awesome, I'm going to have my speedboats detailed, and then I'm going to go get waxed." Everyone just stopped and stared at him "Don't judge me. Later Cassie" We did our awesome handshake we came up with yesterday.
"Deuces Mr. D" I called to him as he left leaving the five of us.
"Well, we better get ready for school." Leo said getting up out of the chair.
"Yeah, school" I muttered jumping down from the desk still feeling awkward. I wouldn't have made that comment if I knew Chase could hear it… okay maybe I would have, it just slipped out. And if it couldn't get any worse Chase kept looking at me every five seconds. Ugh.
"Ooh! I have always dreamed about going to school." Bree exclaimed jumping in front of us. I unconsciously took a step back. She didn't notice and kept rambling on about school while walking back over to her spot. "Passing notes, going to prom, breaking into choreographed dance numbers after math class" What are you on.
"Yeah" Chase said getting up from his seat. I instantly looked away and kept my eyes trained on Bree. "All we do is eat, sleep, and train for missions. We're like human lab rats" I wanted to say something but decided not to.
Luckily Leo said something "Come on, it can't be that bad." We all looked over to see Adam on a giant hamster wheel. "So you've never left this room?" Leo asked as Adam came and joined the group. They all shook their heads no "That explains the haircuts."
I had to admit chases hair was not his strong suit. I laughed a little "Pound it" I said raising my fist and Leo met me halfway and we both made a 'bwoosh' sound when we fist bumped. Bree still looked offended while she tugged at her hair. Chase just looked at me mouthing 'bwoosh'. And Adam didn't even notice.
"I bet school's fun. You know, except for books, classes, and learning stuff." Adam said with a frown.
"It's not fun when you're 'the smart kid.'" See Leo is actually very smart he just has his dumb moments, but, the difference between us was that he got picked on because of it and many other reasons.
"Well, down here, smart is considered superior." Chase said leaning up against the desk.
I nodded in agreement but, then Bree and Adam said "No it's not." I made an awkward 'o' with my mouth.
"Hey, you guys should come to school with us!" Leo said jumping "You could be my bionic bodyguards" I rolled my eyes at his enthusiasm.
"Okay! I'm in! Let's go!" Adam, Bree, and Chase agreed.
We all headed towards the door but it closed and Eddy's voice came on "Not on my watch, laser brains!"
"Aw, shoot!" Chase exclaimed
"We forgot about Davenport's creepy computer." Adam continued
"I thought it was just in the living room!" Leo said obviously upset.
"Nope! I'm everywhere!" E said showing up on six monitors behind us. And yes I gave him a nickname. They all whipped around and I just watched amused.
"In my shower!?" Leo shouted.
"Yep" E replied "And by the way, nothing needs to be that clean, sport-o." Leo had a look of horror on his face and I laughed quietly to myself.
"Okay, we need to shut that thing off" Leo said referring to E.
"Never going to happen," Chase said opening a case under E "Eddy is an incredibly complex and sophisticated piece of machinery. It would take years before-"
"Hey E?" I cut Chase off standing next to E.
"Yes Cass?" E asked
"Ooh, Cass, I like that. Anyways, can you do me a favor?"
"Sure. What do you need" He replied cheerfully.
"Can you open those doors and let us out? Please." I asked giving him a puppy face.
"Yeah, sure. Go right ahead" the doors opened and E's screen went black. They looked at me in awe.
I shrugged "What?"
"Okay, come on. If we're going to school we should shower first because two of us really stink." Bree said snapping everyone out of there trance. Adam and Chase smelled themselves
"Oh, yeah" they both said.
They each got into their capsule and went through the shower cycle. "Whoo-hoo-hoo! Yeah!" They all yelled as they were splashed with water. Then in a flash their clothes were changed and they walked out. Adam was walking funnily which I didn't understand why.
"Oh, Great" Adam said "It gave me your underwear by mistake" Leo and I snickered.
"Gross" Bree exclaimed.
"I don't know what you're complaining about. I got the bra" Chase said and that's when Leo and I busted out laughing.
After we got everything fixed all five of us went to school. "Ooh!" They all exclaimed as they walked in. Adam was touching everything, Bree was squealing, and Chase was waving to a group of girls. I felt my stomach tighten.
"I can't' believe we're actually at school." Bree said smiling. I swear if she smiled any bigger her face split in two. "I'm so excited! Oh, my first lunch lady" Bree ran up to a passing lunch lady. Poor her. Leo and I literally had to pry her off. "She smelled like fish sticks" She said with another huge smile.
"Don't ever do that or anything remotely like that ever again" I said shaking my head.
"Do me a favor and try and act like you've seen the world. I have a reputation to uphold." Leo said as Steve came up to give Leo a wedgie.
"Hey shor-" I gave him a pointed look. I think he literally peed his pants. "I mean Leo. My buddy" then he scurried away. "Bye, Cassie" he yelled back.
"Yeah that's right" I muttered "Pound it" and we fist bumped with our usual 'bwoosh'. Bree saw a group of girls walk up. Poor them. She ran up to them.
"HI! I'm Bree! I like ponies and girl things." The girls looked like they saw a ghost as they slowly turned around then fled for their lives. Bree turned back to us laughing "Did you see that? I have besties. I can't wait to stab them in the back" Bree exclaimed still laughing. We walked over to Chase when he called for Bree and Adam.
"Adam! Would you two quit goofing off? We're supposed to not draw attention to ourselves" Just then the bell went off and Chase collapsed to the floor screaming. Then he sat up and clung to my leg while holding his ears. I felt my tummy do a flip flop when he grabbed my leg.
"What's with crazy?" Leo asked Bree.
"He has ultra-sensitive bionic hearing." Bree told him.
I looked down at Chase "You can get off now." He cleared his throat and quickly scooted away.
"What was that?" He asked while panting
"It's called a bell" Leo said in a 'duh' voice "It rings every 40 minutes, eight times a day. So… have fun with that." Adam, Bree, and Leo left leaving me alone with Chase. Which I didn't like but, at the same time I did. He was still sitting on the floor so I reached out my my hand "Come on" he took it and I felt a weird tingle as I pulled him up "We have first period together. Let's go" We walked to class together and it turns out Chase and I have almost all the same classes being were both geniuses. But don't tell him I said that I already boost his ego enough. A couple of classes later we were in gym. Which I can't say that I hate 'cause I actually like it. I know I'm weird.
"I hate Gym" Leo said over pronouncing each word.
"Leo" I said picking up a stray basketball and started dribbling "Just because you're short and scrawny and have no athletic ability what so ever, doesn't mean you have to hate on gym" I then threw the ball from where I was standing next to Leo, which was a little less than half-court, and made it in without hitting the rim "Gym actually really fun"
"Easy for you to say" Leo exclaimed gesturing to the basket ball hoop "You are Cassandra Andrews, Top of your class, Captain of the girls basketball team, Dodge ball champ, you intimidate people, and who knows how many other skills" I raised my hands in surrender, can't fight facts "I. Hate. Gym." Leo stated once more.
"Why?" Adam asked from where he was seated next to Chase behind us as I picked up another basketball.
"Here try" I said handing Leo the ball. He tried to dribble it. Tried being the keyword. Hey ended up hitting himself in the face. I took it back. Whoops.
"Aaah!" Leo screamed "That's why" I shot the ball and made it in again. "And that"
"So big deal" Chase said "you can't play basketball. Chess club's where all the action's at"
"Eh" I said turning to face him "It all depends on who you play with"
"Cassie is the master at Chess, she dominates. Yet another skill" Leo added. I blew on my nails and rubbed it on my shirt. Then he went back to talking to Chase "You two should play sometime"
"Uh, um, yeah, uh, sure" Chase stuttered. Then yet another basketball came over and Bree caught it.
"What do I do?" she asked flustered
"Throw it" Leo said
"Toss it" I added. She turned and threw it to a boy who was in my French class, yeah I take French. The boy turned towards us and was hit right in the face with the ball. Poor him, he got Bree'd. "To someone who's looking" I said face palming.
Bree then ran over to him smiling down at him "wow!" she exclaimed "You caught that with your face." We walked over to them and I picked up the ball and tossed it to Leo, who went to catch it but, dropped it and had to bend down and pick it up.
"Just once I'd like to show these fools up and go all NBA in their faces. Pull a Cassie Andrews" Leo said holding the basketball.
"What's a Cassie Andrews" Chase asked.
"It's her, right there" Adam said pointing to me "the girl who finds you fascinating, outstanding, awesome, and cooler than me" I felt the heat in my cheeks intensify with each word Adam said. I averted my eyes to the floor but not before I saw Chase blush. It was cute.
"No" Leo continued "A Cassie Andrews is a secret move Cassie does when she in a sudden death moment during one of her basketball games. She gets the ball and does this amazing basketball move. I want to be able to do something like that"
"Then why don't you?" Chase asked like it was the most obvious thing in the world.
"Look at me!" Leo shouted "There's more meat on a dog bone"
"Yeah" Adam said turning Leo to face the basketball hoop "But now you have us to help you."
"Huh?" Leo said as Adam picked him up.
"Wait, what? Adam stop!" I tried but, it was too late. Adam threw Leo and he went sailing through the air across the gym while screaming. He ended up getting the ball through the net and hanging onto the rim. But being the butterfingers that he is he slipped and fell to the floor. Leo quickly got up and looked around at everyone who had their jaws dropped. Suddenly everyone started cheering and clapping. And Leo was enjoying it. I nudged Adam and nodded approvingly.
Davenport House No One's POV
Mr. Davenport came running into the living room and noticed Tasha cooking in the kitchen. "Hey, honey" she called to him only to be ignored as he ran straight across the couch. "Oh, okay" She said sarcastically "So, we have kids living in the basement, and we walk on the furniture. Got it."
Mr. Davenport ran straight over to Eddy "the kids are gone" He said to Tasha "Eddy!" he yelled.
Eddy popped up on the screen "Yes" he said prolonging the word.
"Where are the kid?!" he shouted.
"I'm sorry were you talking to me or the wife you replaced me with?!" Eddy retorted "You know, I might like a new pair of shoes too!"
"Eddy' He warned
"Fine they went to school with Leo and Cass" eddy said his attitude still there.
"No. Why would you let them do that" he asked frustrated.
"Because Cass asked me too"
"Cass? Cassie? Why would you listen to her?" Mr. Davenport asked getting confused.
"Because she didn't replace me with Satan" Eddy said in a bitter tone.
"Really!? We're going to get into that now?! This is bad" Mr. Davenport started mumbling to himself "No, no, no, no, no, no. They can't go to school, not with their glitches!"
"What glitches?" Tasha asked worried.
"Because" Mr. Davenport began "they're human, their emotions can trigger there bionics. If one of 'em gets a little nervous, or upset, or even a little bit too happy. They could take out everything from here to Tijuana."
"What?!" Tasha exclaimed "You did not mention this on your profile"
"Come on!" Mr. Davenport said running to the door and Tasha following
Back at the School Cassie's POV
Chase and I were walking to the gym from the computer lab to go meet up with Leo, Bree, and Adam. We walking into the gym and saw them immediately. Bree turned to us "Where have you two been" she asked smirking.
"We were in the computer lab" I told her matter-of-factly.
"We were taking pre-med courses. Guess who just became a cyropractor in the Philippines" Chase said proudly.
"Cassie, congratulations" Bree said teasingly. Chase stuck his bottom lip out pouting.
"Actually it was all Chase" I said smiling at Chase. Bree just rolled her eyes at us.
That's when Dewey Dingoe our mascot came up behind Adam and started petting his hair "Aw, look. Doggy likes me." Adam said smiling which soon faded as he started getting annoyed "Okay, doggy, that's enough. Hey, I said that's enough!" He exclaimed as he ran away from our mascot who was chasing him. Leo, Chase, and I followed him and watched the scene unfold amused "I'm warning you, dog, you're messing with the wrong guy! No! It's my Salisbury steak!" He exclaimed getting angry, suddenly his eyes started glowing red.
"Why are Adam's eyes turning red?" Leo asked Chase fear lining his voice.
Chase looked over at Adam whose eyes were glowing brighter than before "Oh, no! His heat vision"
"No way!" I exclaimed excitedly
"His what?" Leo shrieked in the exact opposite tone that I used.
"It's a glitch" Chase explained "Whenever he gets too upset his heat vision acts up!" My head snapped over to Adam when he shot his heat vision at Dewey and her costume caught on fire. She started freaking out then a boy came over and put it out with a fire extinguisher, as Adam backed away and tugged on his sleeve nervously.
"We're dingoes, we're here, there's nothing" The cheer squad started to cheer but stopped and scattered when dingoe came running threw, leaving the girl they tossed into the air helpless
"I got her! I got her!" Bree shouted as she used her super speed to run over to catch the girl. But unfortunately she missed and the girl fell to the floor "Oops." Bree said leaning over her "Over shot it. But don't worry, I know a chiropractor in the Philippines." Bree told her then jumped over her and ran off. Things couldn't get any worse. Then the fire alarm and all the students started running around in a panic. Spoke to soon.
"People. People." Chase said trying to calm them down, everyone stopped and looked at him. "Statistics show that if we don't panic, at least 70% of us will make it out alive." I face palmed, so not the time. Everyone resumed running out of the gym in a frenzy. And to top it all off on this crap sundae, Tasha and Mr. D came walking into the gym.
"Oh, no! The killed Dewey Dingoe!" She said looking at the charred costume head.
They looked over at us and we all waved nervously "So how was school!?" He asked loudly. We nodded and shrugged "Get in the helicopter!" He screamed at us we all ran out of the gym.
We all sat on the couch as we took in Mr. D's lecture "Do you realize what you've done? I had to write a check to that school for 30 grand to make this go away."
"For 30 grand I'll go away." Leo said seriously. I smacked the back of his head. "Ow!" he shouted "What was that for?"
"For being stupid" I whispered/yelled at him.
"We're sorry. We just wanted to be normal for a day." Bree tried to explain.
"Oh, come on, Donald, they're just kids." Tasha said trying to reason to with him. "When I was their age, me and Fiona Micklejohn, we snuck out and we crashed" Mr. d looked at her exasperated "You know what? I'm not helping." Tasha said backing down.
He turned back to Adam, Bree, and Chase "Look, I designed you to go on highly classified missions, not try out for the cheerleading squad"
"Oh well, there goes that dream." Adam said placing his hand over his chest.
"Look" I said standing up "I know you're mad Mr. D, but these three achieved the impossible today. They mad Leo popular."
Leo jumped up and shouted excitedly "I got game!"
"And I cured male pattern baldness with a biology rat' Chase told him standing up.
"Ooh! And I got invited to my first party" Bree said jumping up "By a boy!" She directed the last part to Tasha who jumped up excitedly too.
"How exciting! We got to get you clothes and shoes, and we'll do" Tasha started then looked over at Mr. D who was shaking his head at her "Again not helping."
"That's it." Mr. D said finally having enough "Leo, Cassie, you two are banned from the lab."
"What!?" I screeched but, he ignored me and continued with punishments.
"And you three are to have no contact with the outside world. No talking, no texting, no nothing."
"Ooh! What about the last art of pantomime" Adam asked mimicking a mime.
"Go to your tubes!" Mr. D yelled and watched as the three of them scurry out of the living room.
I was sitting in my room when there was a knock at the door "Knock Knock" Leo shouted threw the door.
"Enter Enter" I shouted back and sat up as he opened the door.
He leaned up against the doorframe "So are you coming or not?"
"Where" I asked completely lost.
"To break your boyfriend out of the lab' Leo told me and I instantly jumped off the bed.
"Chase is not my boyfriend" I quickly denied.
Leo smirked "How'd you know I was talking about Chase, I didn't give a name" I felt my cheeks heat up. Stupid Leo. He just laughed "Come on, the party isn't going to last forever." I followed him down into the lab and we strutted over to where the three of them were sitting.
Chase instantly stood up "Cassie, Leo, what are you doing? You're not allowed down here!"
"We know" I said smirking
"But you know that party everyone at school's been talking about?" Leo asked and we just turned and walked away knowing they would follow.
When we got up to the living room Leo and I shouted "It's in your living room!"
Then Leo started dancing "Do the Leo! Do the Leo! Do the Leo! Do the Leo! Now just the sexy people!"
"Leo, Cassie I can't believe you did this!" Chase said looking around.
"Well we owed you guys" I said smiling
"And since you couldn't go to the party, we bought the party here" Leo said picking up a bowl "Cheese curl?" He asked and Chase happily ate one.
"What about your mom and Davenport?" Adam asked
"They're at dinner." Leo told him "They'll be gone for hours"
Then we noticed Jimmy sticking his head into the microwave "Jimmy, get your head out of there. It's a microwave" I shouted at him, while Leo and I walked over to him.
"I climbed into the car with Leo watching Chase jump on the couch with Adam. And of course Leo noticed this, so he thought it was necessary to poke my side while chanting "You like him. You like him. You like him."
I smacked his hand away "Shut up." Then the unspeakable happened, Tasha and Mr. D came walking through the door.
"What the!" Mr. D shouted as Leo and I pulled up honking.
"Hey you're back!" Leo said casually as we slipped out of the car and next to him. "How did all these people get here?!"Leo asked me.
"What people? I don't see any people" I said playing along.
Tasha shook her head scowling at us "You two are in big trouble"
"Hey everybody! Thanks for coming." Mr. D started out nice, then yelled "Get out!"
Soon all the other kids left and the three bionic teenagers hung their heads "You kids have really done it this time. And who gave Eddy cake?!' Mr. D shouted. Adam raised his hand and smiled sheepishly.
"We just wanted them to have one more night of fun before you put them back in their display cases." Leo told them taking off his hat.
"Show them a real life and make them feel normal" I added in a soft tone.
"But there not normal. And there biologically regulated atmospheric chambers." Mr. D said about Leo's comment "Look, the fun's over. As of tomorrow, you're all being relocated permanently"
"What?!" they all shrieked, including me. I can't lose them.
"What part of 'no contact with the outside world' did you not understand?" Mr. D asked them walking across the living room.
"Where are we going?" Bree asked taking a step closer.
"To one of my remote research facilities" Mr. D explained "where you can complete your training"
"But this is home" Adam said sadly "This is where I get my meaty-flavored pellets."
"Not anymore." Wow that was harsh. "Now go downstairs and pack your stuff" I watched as they walked out of the living room with their heads hung low.
"This is so not fair!" I yelled at Mr. D then stormed off, with Leo right behind me after he said to Mr. D "They're my best friends"
Davenport Lab No One's POV
"I can't believe this is our last night in the lab." Bree said leaning against her capsule.
"I think Leo and Cassie are really going to miss us" He told them glancing who was asleep in Chase's capsule. Her knees pulled close to her chest, the tear stains visible on her cheeks.
"Yeah, me to" Adam said sarcastically while looking down at Leo who was asleep latched onto Adam's leg. "Think we should wake them up?"
"No, let them sleep" Bree said laughing
"But Leo's drooling on my socks." Adam said irritated.
"Come on, suck it up Adam. Do you really think Chase will be happy if you kick his girlfriend out" Bree said smirking.
"She's not my girlfriend" Chase said exasperated "You guys need to quit with that."
"Whatever you say" Bree said as her and Adam got into their capsules "You know you like her"
Chase got into his capsule and looked down at Cassie "Yeah, I know I do"
Still the Lab Cassie's POV
The next morning we were all gathered in the lab still, because I apparently fell asleep down there in Chase's capsule. Awkward. We watched as Chase was filling up a box.
"What are you doing?" Leo asked him.
"If Davenports going to ship us of to some remote island the office supplies is coming with us" I laughed as he kept filling the box. I'm really going to miss him. I'm really going to miss all of them. It's going to be so boring; I mean I still have Leo but, Leo's… Leo.
"We just got our first taste at a normal life" Bree told Leo and I but I was to busy watching Chase. Of course I'm going to watch him he's leaving… Permanently! "I was this close to getting a curfew that I was totally going to break"
"Oh!" Adam shouted excitedly "Maybe when we get to where ever we're going well, meet a sassy lab chimp named Bobo, who will take us on adventures, and teach us how to love."
Chase sat down on the desk next to me, a little closer than necessary, not that I'm complaining. "Or maybe you'll make him mad, and he'll maul you and snack on your fingers"
"Lovely thoughts Chase" I shook my head smiling.
"Hey!" Adam shouted heatedly "I create the monkey fantasies around here"
Then E popped up on the screen near the door "Well, kids, I hope you enjoyed your stay at Casa Davenport, I know I haven't, Sayonara."
Bree shook her head "Eddy, I know we've never been the best of friends but, we're going to miss you"
E smiled "Aw, really"
"No! We hate you! Evil!" The three of them exclaimed.
"Where is this training facility anyway" I asked softly.
"Oh the facility X, it's all the rage" E said showing us an Island on the computer monitor.
Adam smiled "That's nice" Chase and Bree nodded in agreement.
"Opps, that's my screensaver" E said taking the picture away "This is where you're going" he then pulled up a picture of a facility covered with a blanket of snow. Ooh that's not good.
"Forget office supplies, we should gather some wood" Chase said obviously not happy with that facility. I wouldn't be either where was it anyway, Antarctica!
Leo jumped off the desk and we all followed "Man, I wish I hadn't thrown that party. I can't help but, think this is all my fault"
"Well, that's cause it is" Adam said nodding his head. Leos head snapped up and he glared at him.
I punched his arm "Adam!" me and Bree yelled at him.
"He was only trying to help" Bree continued.
"Yeah but he did the opposite and did not help us. The not makes it the opposite" Adam said matter-of-factly.
I punched his arm again "Adam!"
"Ow!" He shouted "I'm sorry, I'm just really bummed. This is the only place we've ever known"
"Yeah, just think of all the memories we have here" Chase told them and they all smiled thoughtfully.
"Leo, we can't let Mr. D send them away. We should try talking to him"
"Yeah, no one can say no to this million dollar smile" Leo said smiling
We went upstairs and followed him around "No"
"But-" I tried.
"Uh-uh"
"Don't you think-" Leo said as we chase him.
"Not gonna happen"
"What if-"
"La la la la la la la la la" He chanted running up the stairs while covering his ears.
"Real mature Mr. D" I shouted after him as Leo followed him upstairs.
I waited for Leo to come back down stairs and we both went back down to the lab. Adam, Bree, and Chase looked at us with hopeful smiles. "Well, I'm pretty sure he's going to think about it" They all smiled brightly.
I was upstairs in my room pacing the floor "Stupid Mr. D. Stupid party. Stupid rules. Stupid everything" I muttered. Then I heard Leo call my name. I ran downstairs and saw Leo sitting at the kitchen table.
"Cassie what do you think?" Mr. D asked me. I turned to him and saw robots that looked like Adam, Bree, and Chase "what are those?'
Then the real Adam, Bree, and Chase came into the living room "What are those?" Chase asked.
"That's exactly what I'd like to know" I agreed crossing my arms.
Leo walked over to us "Dr. Franken brain here, is trying to replace you with these robots. Welcome to the crazy club"
"Excuse me" I asked not believing he would even attempt. The nerve of some people.
Mr. D pressed a button on his watch and robot Adam spoke "Hello, the time is 11:25 and the temperature is currently 68 degrees"
Adam walked forward and looked at the robot then at Mr. D "You made a robot of me that just stands around telling people the time and temperature?" Mr. D nodded "That's the coolest thing I've ever seen" Adam shouted. Um, excuse me Adam have you not seen what you can do? No? just checking.
Then Bree walked up to her robot studying her face "Does my nose really look like that"
The robot made some noises then spoke "No yours has a faint moustache underneath" Bree gasped and Chase busted out laughing. He has a cute laugh. No! Stop! So not the time.
Then it was his robots turn to speak "Hey, everyone I'm Chase, let's do some ma-ma-math" Everyone started laughing including me.
"That was not funny" Chase said angry.
"Yeah you're right it was fu-fu-funny" Adam said mimicking the robot, Chase crossed his arms with a 'hmph'
The doorbell rang and Mr. D left to answer the door, he opened it to reveal a large man with sunglasses on. "Hey, Fitz, how's it going" He didn't answer "How's life" still no answer "how's tricks" He still didn't answer "Alrigthy then!" Mr. D turned to us "You should've seen him at the Christmas party he's a karaoke master"
Bree turned to me and Leo "Well, I guess this is it, thanks for everything"
"Yeah, you two are the best friend's we ever had" Chase smiled at us.
"No they're the only friends we've ever had" Adam said with his hands behind his back.
"Well" Tasha came over "don't forget to bundle up on your deadly missions" She hugged them.
They went to walk away but I grabbed Chase's arm "Chase wait"
He turned to me "Yeah?"
I wanted to tell him so badly and I almost did but, that would've made him leaving worse. "Just… I'm really gonna miss you"
"Yeah, me too" Then he hugged me tight, and I tried hard to hold back the tears but, they came pouring out.
I pulled out of the hug "Don't die okay"
He laughed a little "Okay"
He turned and joined Adam and Bree at the door, Mr. D stopped them "remember this is good thing"
They all left and for the life of me I couldn't hold back the sobs, Mr. D shut the door and Eddy came on the screen "woo-hoo their gone" I glared at E, right now I wanted to punch him.
Mr. D shut the door "Eddy" he warned.
"I mean have a safe trip. I loveyou." then his screen went black.
Mr. D looked back at us; I got up and stormed out of the room and down to the lab while hearing Leo Mr. D calling my name. I sat inside Chase's capsule leaving the door open. I watched as Leo came walking in and passed the robots. "Hello, insert name here, would you like to engage in happy silly fun time" Robot Adam asked Leo.
Leo glared at the "get lost you can't replace my real friends. I really loved those guys"
Leo continued to walk towards me and the robots followed. I hate them. I hate the whole world right now. "Don't be sad master Leo" Robot Chase said "Friends come and go but, robots are forever. Dibbly dibbly that is my version of a laugh. Dibbly dibbly"
Leo stopped right in front of me "Will you tin guys get out of here, I'm trying to talk to Cassie"
He turned to me and opened his mouth to speak but robot Chase beat him to it "Sensing human hostility"
"Must exterminate" Bree continued. I looked up. Say what?!
They started to walk towards Leo "Robots attack" Adam commanded
Eddy popped up on the screen "Yeah, go robot. Get him. Crush him. Go for the brain." He cheered
"Get Leo" Robot Chase said. Leo tried to run away but Robot Bree grabbed him. He screamed like a little girl.
They all started laughing, like really laughing, like real people "Leo, Leo" Bree said in a normal voice trying to calm him down "we're not robots. It's really us"
"Huh" was all Leo said.
I jumped up and ran over to Chase a hugged him around his waist possessively, he stumbled back a few steps on impact but immediately hugged me back. I pulled away "you guys are really here. How?!"
"We told the driver we forgot something and then we swapped the robots in our place" Chase explained.
"You said you loved us. You said you loved us" Adam teased making kissy noises. Leo walked up to him and slapped right across the face. "Ow!"
"It really is you guys" Leo said jumping up and down and hugged him. We all joined in a big group hug.
When we all pulled away and Leo said the one thing that I did not want to hear "Wait, what about davenport?"
"OH, that's easy we just have to act like dumb robots every time he's around" Adam told us nodding.
"It'll be easier for some of us more than others" Bree said with her hands on her hips. I laughed, god I'm glad they're back.
Then Mr. D said and they all went back to their robot stance
"Big D" Leo said
"Mr. D" I exclaimed
"Donny" Leo continued
"Man of the house" I said trying to play it cool.
Mr. D looked at us weird "What are you two doing?"
Leo hesitated "What are we doing?" He laughed nervously "We… are…"
"Hanging out with our robo fake people friends" I continued
Leo nodded "Ain't nothing like a robo party cause a robo party don't stop" Leo said dancing a little.
"See, I told you that you'd like them" Mr. D said walking to the other side of his desk with his back to us.
"Like em?" I started
"We love em?" Leo finished. Adam broke his stance and silently teased Leo making kissy faces.
Leo made a sign to stop, and he did just before Mr. d turned back to us "Oh you know what the greatest thing about robots is… they are virtually indestructible"
"Huh?" Leo and I said simultaneously
"Watch this" Mr. D said then shocked Adam and Laughed
"Stop it!" I shouted
Mr. D just smiled "No its okay they can't feel a thing, they're robots" Then he shocked Chase. That has got to hurt. Mr. D laughed "They are so incredibly lifeless" Then shocked Chase again; Leo had a look of horror on his face. Mr. D went to go shock Bree.
She looked at him "Don't even try it" She warned him in her robot voice.
"Ooh, you're a feisty robot" Mr. D said a little too happy. He walked over to me "Don't you want to try"
"No its okay" I said with a fake smile.
He turned to Leo "you?"
"No" Leo said with the same fake smile
"Come on" Mr. D insisted.
"Fine" Leo said and took the shock thing and shocked Mr. D. I've never laughed so hard in my life.
Mr. D fell to the floor, Leo looked down at him smiling "You're right, it is fun" Adam, Bree, and Chase tried hard not to laugh.
The next day Adam, Bree and Chase were sitting at the counter as Leo gave them breakfast. I sat on the counter near the stove drinking lemonade. "Alright let's make this quick so we can get out of here" I told them.
"Adam you get wheat bread and a side of sugar packets" Leo told him.
"My favorite" Adam said enthusiastically.
Leo then moved onto Bree "Bree you get two old wings, and a drumstick from the chicken shack" bree happily took it. Then Leo moved onto Chase "Chase you can have the peel to my banana" He tossed the banana peel to Chase
"I'm not gonna eat your banana peel" He told him picking up the peel in disgust.
"You don't eat it you just chew it until all the flavors gone" Leo told him like it was the most obvious thing in the world. Chase looked down at the peel like he was debating to eat it or not. Then Tasha walked in.
"Tasha" I said casually jumping off the counter.
"Leo, Cassie, what's going on" she said as she walked into the kitchen. Adam, Bree, and Chase instantly turned into their robot stances.
Leo looked up at her startled "Mom, look at you, in the kitchen, we are just having some breakfast"
"Honey there robots, they don't eat" Tasha told Leo putting a hand on his shoulder. The minute she turned her back they began eating.
When she turned back with the milk they stopped in their robot stance again. "Anyway, I was thinking today might be a good day to take them to school with us, right Cassie?" Leo turned to me for support.
"Yeah" I agreed smiling huge.
Bree gasped breaking her robot stance "Yes!" I mentally face palmed, way to give it away. "I mean" Bree slowly went back to her robot stance "Bee-dee beep beep beep"
Luckily Tasha didn't think anything of it "Leo you are not taking robot to school, you're teachers already think you're a little weird, I don't know how you got Cassie to agree" I shrugged my shoulders stiffly.
"Mom" Leo whined.
"Go to school! Both of you!" She commanded pointing to the door
"Fine" Leo said stomping to the door.
Tasha looked at me "You know what I'm feeling a little sick; I think I should stay home"
Tasha wasn't buying it "go!'
"Ugh" I trudged out the door, Leo caught up with me a few seconds later. School went by a lot slower than usual, I kept thinking about Adam, Bree, and Chase. Surely Mr. D would notice there not robots eventually. Finally school was over and Leo and I came running into the house to see Tasha sitting at the counter and Mr. D opening the fridge. We ran up to the counter "Where are the robots!" I shouted
"We ran all the way home, and I wasn't even being chased" Leo said panting
Mr. D gave us both a drink I drank it in big gulps as Tasha spoke "The robots are gone, guys, we just dropped them off at the recycling bin"
Leo spit his drink out all over me, and I swallowed mine and started choking. "What!" we both screamed, this is so not good.
Tasha looked shocked and Mr. D smiled "Yep there being melted down as we speak, don't tell anybody but, their toxic"
I stared at him in horror "No!"
"We have to go get them" Leo said mimicking my tone "Their no robots there real" I nodded along with him
Tasha turned to Mr. D "See that's why I didn't want those things around, they're delusional"
"No!" we both yelled offended
"It's really Adam, Bree, and Chase, you have to believe us" Leo continued
"Please, we have to save them, there isn't much time" I begged
"Leo, Cassie" Tasha said carefully like she was just waiting for us to blow.
"Leo, Cassie, when I was your age I had to say goodbye to a lot of my friends" Mr. D explained "There was Lava man and stretch leg strong and jojo big and all his friends and his space cantina" Really?
"Those were all action figures" Leo said giving him a weird look.
"And they were all fully posable pieces of my heart" Mr. D said like he was about to cry. This is not good not good at all, I pray to God they get out of there.
Later that day after many nervous, hair pulling, nail biting, pacing the floor hours we were all in the living room. Adam, Bree, and Chase were sitting on the couch all safe and Mr. D was apologizing about what he did and agreeing to let him stay, which I was overflowing with joy about.
"When you guys risked your lives for each other it made me realize something" Mr. D told them "maybe I've been focusing to much on training the super human part of you that I forgot all about the human part"
"Aww!" Adam said beaming at Mr. D then it was taken over with a look of confusion "I don't get it"
"Your teenagers" Mr. D explained " and bionic or not you deserve to experience teenager things like school and classes and cell phones"
Bree jumped up from the couch "Ooh! Yes a cell phone! I'm living the dream!"
Mr. D shook his head "Yeah, you're not getting a cell phone"
Bree slumped back onto the couch as Mr. D walked over to Tasha "But, what I can give you is another chance, maybe there's a way you can live here, go to school, and go on missions"
This time all three of them jumped up "Are you serious?" Chase asked
"They can stay" Leo asked walking over to Mr. D
"On one condition no one can ever find out about your abilities, and you have to control your emotions so you don't glitch"
"Okay! Done! Absolutely!" The three of them said simultaneously
"Alright then welcome home!" Mr. D said putting an arm around Leo and Tasha.
"Yes! Woo-hoo!" I said fist pumping the air. They all looked at me for a second then joined in, but I guess Adam got a little too happy because he shot plasma rays at the roof and chunks fell down. We all dove to the floor, me because I was laughing so hard.
Adam looked around guilty "Whoops!"
Leo and I jumped up "he has Plasma Rays" He shouted excitedly.
"My life just got a whole lot better" Leo continued
"I second that!" I said agreeing with him.
A little later we were all downstairs in the lab watching Tasha talk to a robot version of Mr. D "You know I'm just not sure about the throw pillow there a littlee plain so I got these" She picked up a silky blue pillow "are they too busy"
"No" robot Mr. D responded simply
"So you like them?" Tasha asked happy
"I do if you do" He told her, I was surprised she didn't realize he was robot already.
"You are sooo sweet" Tasha said walking over to robot Mr. D and sitting in front of him on the couch. We all laughed watching the scene on the TV.
"That robot may be my greatest invention ever" Mr. D said laughing.
Then Tasha kissed the robot and it started short-curciting, Tasha jumped off the couch "Donald!"
Mr. D jumped up and ran we all laughed and shouted "busted!" at the same time.
