Hey guys! It's kind of hard to believe, but we're already at chapter four!

Here are my review replies:

ms. nick jonas:

Oh cool! I'm not very good, so I'll leave the punching of Trent to you :)

Dirtkid123:

I'm glad your so interested in the story!

Okay, I know Chase thinking he's fat is kind of absurd, but when something like that is driven into your head, after a while you start to believe it.


End of last chapter:

As quietly as I could, I pushed open my capsule and padded up stairs to the bathroom. Closing the door behind me, I flicked the lights on and took of my shirt.

"Maybe Trent was right, maybe I am fat." I whispered to my reflection, starting hard at my stomach. If I stared hard enough, I could pick out some excess fat that really shouldn't be there.

I sadly slipped my shirt back on and clicked the lights off, heading back to the lab. Luckily no one seemed to be awake, so I got back into my capsule and closed my eyes. Trying hard not to think about how fat I was.

Chase's POV

Taking a deep breath, I pushed open the front door to my capsule and slid out. Stretching my arms over my head, I thought back to last night and decided to never ever think myself fat again. Even though I believed it, I couldn't let it control my life- if I did, well, I didn't need super smarts to know what would happen.

Taking my arms down, I rolled my shoulders slightly, then banged on the door of Adam's capsule, grinning when he awoke with a jolt.

"Where's the fire?" He asked groggily, stumbling as he stepped out of the glass tube we sleep in.

"There's no fire Adam, it was just me waking you up for school." I replied, trying hard not to giggle.

"Then why does it smell like smoke?" Adam muttered, looking around and blinking like a confused child.

"I have no idea what you're talking about." I said, grabbing Adam by the elbow and dragging him toward the elevator. "Lets just go upstairs, it doesn't smell of smoke up there."

"I'll go anywhere as long as there's no smoke." Adam babbled, his eyes filled with a childlike amusement as he looked around the lab

"Then come on Adam, the faster we get upstairs the faster you can get to clean air." I grumbled. What had happened to Adam overnight? The last time he acted like this, he was five and was completely fascinated by anything and everything.

"The lab's changed Chasey! Just yesterday it was so much bigger!" Adam whispered, grabbing my hand and squeezing it.

"You must of grown a lot over night." I replied, trying hard to flinch at the fact that I was now holding my brothers hand. Knowing the state of mind Adam was in, it would break his heart.

"I grew a lot!" Adam exclaimed, looking down into my eyes.

"You must of done." I mumbled, shocked at what I saw in Adam's brown eyes. Instead of the hard glint I had come to know and hate while he was bullying me, his eyes were filled with love and amusement. They were beautiful "Your eyes." I whispered, half in a daze.

"What about my eyes? Is there something wrong with them?" Adam asked, looking worried.

"Oh, no, there's nothing wrong with them, I was just thinking how beautiful they are." I explained, cursing myself for say something.

"Thank you Chasey, I think your eyes are beautiful to." Adam said with a huge smile lighting up his face.

"Thanks." I muttered, looking away.

Finally, we reached the elevator and as we stepped inside I couldn't help but think how much more I liked this Adam than the other one.

"Enter the code Chasey, enter the code." Adam hissed impatiently, pointing toward the key board that suddenly appeared. I froze for a second, thinking that the real Adam was back and start bullying him for holding his hand, but was brought back to life when Adam gave my hand a squeeze and whispered a please.

Unable to stop a grin from spreading over my face, I entered the code and squeezed Adam's hand back, earning a smile in response. The rest of the ride to the living room was filled with Adam babbling on about hot dogs and horses in skis. I wasn't complaining though, it was a lot more fun to listen to than the usual insults thrown at me.

As the elevator door's dinged and slid open, I shot a glance in Adam's direction and he hesitantly let go of my hand, frowning as if he longed for my touch. Pushing that thought to the back of my mind, I beckoned Adam out of the elevator, and was about to go and get him his favorite cereal when he gasped and tried to hide behind me.

"What's wrong Adam?" I asked, twisting around to look at him, frowning when I saw the scared look on his face.

"W-who's t-that?" He whispered, shaking from fear.

I turned around, completely confused, until I spotted Leo sitting at the table, staring intently at us, and immediately understood. "That, Adam, is Leo." I explained, turning back to him and putting a comforting hand on his shoulder.

"Who's Leo?" Adam inquired, coming out from behind me and moving forward.

I thought for a moment, until I decided to tell him the truth "Leo's our step brother."

"I didn't know we had a step brother!" Adam exclaimed, rushing forward and giving Leo a hug, his eyes filled with amusement.

"I've been your step brother for three years now." Leo said, giving Adam a quick hug before trying to pry him off, but Adam was not letting go.

"Then why haven't I seen you? You could've come and visit us!" Adam mumbled, his words muted by the cloth of Leo's shirt.

Leo looked up at me for help, but I just shrugged and mouthed that he was on his own with this one. "I haven't been able to visit you because Big D hasn't allowed me to." Leo replied, trying once again to pry Adam off him.

"Mr. Davenport isn't very nice." Adam grumbled, finally taking the hint and letting go of Leo, only to come over to me and wrapping his arms around my shoulders.

"What in the world is going on here!" A voice demanded from the front door.

Adam immediately let go of me and whirled around. "Be be!" He screeched, rushing forward and pulling her into a fierce hug

"Adam, would you let go of me." Bree muttered angrily, her harsh tone making tears form in Adam's eyes.

"Come here Adam, Bree isn't very happy at the moment, so lets just leave her alone." I said, holding out my hand to Adam, which he took gratefully, squeezing it once before folding himself back into another hug.

"Again, I repeat, what is going on here." Bree growled, her high heels making little clicking noises on the hardwood floor as she walked toward us.

"I have absolutely no idea, he was like this when he woke up." I responded, watching as Bree stopped clicking and stood beside us.

"Who woke up like what?" Another voice asked, this time from the back hallway.

"Oh good, just the man I need." I muttered, smiling when I caught sight of Mr. Davenport over Adam's shoulder. "Ever since I woke Adam up this morning, he's been acting like he's five again." I whispered, covering Adam's ears with my hands.

"Here, bring him down to the lab and I'll scan him while the rest of you get ready for school." Mr. Davenport replied, helping pry Adam off me.

"Chasey!" Adam called out, tears filling his eyes as he was dragged away.

"I'll see you soon Adam, just go with Mr. Davenport." I called back, feeling my heart break a little bit as I watched my big brother being dragged into the elevator.

"Don't get used to Adam missing you Chase, as soon as Adam is brought back to his current age he won't be acting the same." Bree whispered harshly into my ear, grinning a little bit when I flinched.

Feeling the remorse I felt for Adam melt, I shot Bree a reproachful look, then went to get some cereal, the memory of what had just happened shoeing away any thought of how I didn't need to put any more weight on.


Hey guys! I know that chapter was kind of short and uneventful, I did have more planned, but Adam being five years old in the mind kind of got out of hand, so I decided to make it a chapter and carry on with the plot in the next chapter.

Sorry if some of the parts got a little weird, this chapter is just brotherly love and nothing else.

Anyway, thanks for reading!

Review? Please!
