AN: Happy New Year everyone! Hope you're having an awesome one!

I woke up one morning feel more tired than I have for a while. All last night Leo thought it would be a good idea to call me late at night to vent about Mr. Davenport completly ignoring his ideas about the mission. He told me how Davenport spilt coffee all over himself and used it as a sponge. I laughed and Leo scolded me for laughing at his pain.

I was the first one to get to school. I wanted to get all my things together before Chase distracts me with a greeting kiss that he does every morning. Well not every morning. Adam, Bree and Chase went on a mission yesterday and missed school. It was so weird not having them around. I opened my locker when I heared the familiar sounds of Adam's laughter and I smiled. Now this is what I am use to. I felt hands go over my eyes "Guess who?"

I smiled "Hmm. Chris Evans is currently walking the halls of Mission Creek?" I joked and I felt myself being poked in the ribs and I squealed. I looked over my shoulder and saw Bree laughing at the pouty face my boyfriend was giving me.

"Yes, I know you have a massive crush on Captain America but I mean come on! I don't need to hear it out loud!" Chase complained and I giggled.

I wrapped my arms around his neck "Oh get over it." I said and leaned in for my mandatory kiss. I heard Adam, Bree and Leo groan and Chase and I both smiled as we continued to kiss.

The bell then rang and more kids filed into the school hallways for first period.

After first period, I caught up with my friends. Adam was joking around and we all started laughing at him as we made our way down the stairs. When we reached the bottom of the stairs, we heard from behind us Principal Perry with a bull horn "Not so fast."

We all stopped laughing as she came down after us and we all groaned. Why couldn't this be one of the days where she ignored us completely?

"You three missed school yesterday." Principal Perry said. It took everything I had not to roll my eyes and tell her how wonderfully observant she was. But that would get me in trouble so I decided against it "Not that I didn't enjoy it!" She giggled "But it's been happening way too much lately. Look at this attendance report."

"You still keep paper records?" Chase asked "You know we have computers now? Also indoor plumbing and fire."

Principal Perry glared at Chase "Do you really want to poke the bear?" she asked.

"Do you really want to use that analogy?" Leo replied.

Perry glared again "Shut it Dooley! I've been working out. Don't make me flex my guns." She said hunching her shoulders as if she was going to pose and burn our eyes out of its sockets. Perry turned back to Adam, Bree and Chase "You three are in big trouble."

"Oh! Actually we're not." Bree said taking out a note from her pocket "We have a note from our dad. He signed it and everything."

"With his name." Adam pointed out.

Bree gave Perry the note and she looked over it "Oh well I'm sorry my bad. That changes absolutely...nothing!" Perry said ripping the note apart and pieces floated down to the floor "Just because your dad let's you cut school doesn't mean I have to. Somebody has to be the disciplinarian. It's like I tell my cats," she made a hissing noise and used her chubby hands as claws "See you three in detention."

"Great. We miss school for a mission and get punished." Chase said and Adam sighed "This isn't fair."

"No, it really isn't." Leo said "Well you guys have fun!"

While Leo walked away I put a hand on Bree and Adam's shoulder "Well this sucks." I told them before kissing Chase's cheek and walking off.

When school was over I stayed late after school knowing that if I went home now, I wouldn't really have anyone to go home to. My dad was away again doing some lawyer thing. Detention was being held in the gym and the doors were closed. Chase, Adam and Bree didn't deserve to be in detention. Maybe I could fake a medical emergency to get them out? Nah, that would be too risky and then Perry would ask me all these questions. And I'm not good under pressure.

Three hours of flipping and ripping with Principal Perry is a painful way to spend detention. I could imagine the pat down Adam, Bree and Chase had to endure. I cringed and shivered. Gross.

Suddenly I spotted Leo by the door and I walked over to him "What are you doing here? I thought you left?"

"Mr. Davenport sent me down here to get them out of detention. He gave me a note to give Perry."

"Good luck with that." I said and followed him over to the gym doors.

Two lunch ladies spotted us and hauled us through the doors. When they released me and Leo, I straightened my shirt "Oh goodie." Perry said "What do you two want?"

"There's an emergency. My step dad asked me to give you this." Leo handed her Davenport's note.

"Mmm, yum! Second lunch." Perry then ate the note and I tried so hard not to gag.

"What are you doing? This is serious! It's a matter of life and death!" Leo exclaimed.

"You said the same thing when the vending machine ran out of cheese curls."

"This is different! Please! You gotta let them go!" Leo begged.

"No." Perry mocked "Although there might be a way they can earn their freedom." Perry chuckled.

The next thing I know, Perry has them spinning around in circles while their foreheads are connected to their bats. Perry starts counting "34, 35," Everyone around them including the lunch ladies are chanting. I watch nervously as the scene unfolds "And forty!" Adam, Bree and Chase stop "Okay whoever makes it out the open doors is free to leave. Go!"

"Come on guys!" Leo encourages them.

I shout "You can do it!"

Adam starts walking over to one of the open doors that was behind a lunch lady. He lost his balance and fell to the floor.

Bree stumbled over to Leo and he pointed to her right while Perry had her hands up smiling "Come over here Bree!" I yelled trying to get her attention. She lost her balance and fell over by one of the tables by the white board.

All that was left was Chase who was swaying on his feet. He was so close to the door "Come on Chase." I said standing by the open door "Come to me!" I motioned my hands.

"Come on! Freedom is so close! Can't you just taste it?" Perry yelled and I glared over to her.

Chase stumbled forward towards the door and I smiled "I'm almost there!" Chase said "I'm gonna make it!" Chase hit the door head first and I ran over to him.

"Baby are you okay?" I said lifting his head. Perry started laughing. She really should get fired for what she's doing.

Chase winced as I touched his bruised forehead "Yeah, I'm fine."

I held up four fingers "How many fingers am I holding up?" Chase placed his hands over mine and brought them down.

"I'm okay."

"Someone should get her fired." I mumbled as I helped Chase sit up.

"Prepare to be entertained amoeba brains. Time for my next challenge."

"There gonna be here a while, aren't they?" Leo asked.

I ignored the rest of what she was saying and looked down at Chase who was clutching his forehead. I moved his hand and kissed his bruised skin "You sure you're alright? You hit your head pretty hard love."

"I'm okay babe. Thanks."

Leo ended up leaving but I stayed behind. What I thought was going to be just a couple of rounds. She ended having four hundred of them up her sleeve. By the time they had red rubber blow up boxing gloves on their hands, they looked completely exhausted.

"Okay!" Perry said into a microphone "Time for round four...hundred." She laughed and Chase and Bree fell to the floor "Aaannnnddd the winner of the very scary Perry knock out challenge is...me!" she giggled and sighed "That's better than watching my cats fight for the last spot on the bed. Only the pretty kitties get to cuddle with Mama."

The bell rang and I walked over to them "You three can go. Here's your junk." Perry said throwing their cellphones at them.

"Come on guys. If we hurry, we can still make the mission." Chase said.

"We'll have to get our gear first." Bree replied and we tried to make our way past Perry. Tried being the key word here folks.

"Hold on. What gear? What mission?" Perry asked slowly "Is that some kind of code for vandalism? Are you four pulling a school prank?"

"No," Chase, Bree and I said but Adam called out a yes and Chase pulled him to the side "What are you doing?"

"Not talking about the mission." Adam said like it was the most obvious thing in the world.

"You know he's taken a few too many giant boxing gloves to the head. There's no prank. We're just gonna mosey. Thank you for a lovely detention." We all tried to scurry our way. Again, the key word being tried.

"Hold it!" Perry said "You three have a secret and there's nothing I hate more than secrets. Well except for other people's birthdays. You're alive. We get it. Now we're going to play a game I like to call Interrogation." Perry looked over to me "And you Ms. Davis are leaving!" I looked to Chase who looked like he was going to say something but I nodded.

"I'll be right outside. Okay?"

Soon they all walked out and I looked down at my fake wrist watch "That was quick. What did you guys tell her?"

"Oh a little of this. A little of that. You know, the usual lie." Bree said "We got to go."

I ran out with them but split after they got to their house.

AN: I know the ending sucks and I left out some major parts but my head hurts and my fingers are cramping up. This chapter does suck and I think it's shorter than the other ones and I'm sorry.
