~I do not own Lab Rats~
Chase's POV:
*ten minutes earlier*
"Bree?" I say to myself as I watch her run out of the room after that girl. I carefully lift up the tablecloth, and crawl out from the table I was hiding under. The only reason I saw her, is because I heard the crash and was curious. I did never see what had actually happened.
Now I'm following her out of the room. I use my head sensor to find her, but she's in the bathroom. Not matter what anyone says or does, I'm not going in there. So, I wait.
The whole time, I hear constant sniffling.
Finally, after fifteen minutes, Bree emerges from the bathroom. Bree, however, wasn't the one crying like I thought, but the girl she has her arm around. The sequins from Bree's dress in the light, which cause me to have a difficult time seeing the girl's face.
I can partially see some freckles place on the girl's cheeks. She looks over at me questionably.
"Chase?" Bree says, giving me a weird look. "What are doing here?"
"Oh, I, uh," I take a deep breath. "I thought it was you who was crying, and that you were the source of the crash." I look down at my shoes.
"What?" Bree asks shocked.
"Sorry, I think I'll just..." I slowly start to turn and walk away, but Bree grabs my arm with her free one.
"Wait, Chase," Bree pulls me back over.
"What?"
"Could you, do something for me?"
"What...?" I give her a suspicious look. She then uses her eyes to gesture to the sniffling girl.
"No, I'm sorry Bree, I will not-"
"You just need to keep her company. It's not like I'm asking you to dance with her."
"But Bree-"
"Please, Chase." I sigh, and nod my head.
"Fine."
"Thank you!" Bree smiles at me. She then carefully shakes the girl to get her attention, as she had been oblivious to the conversation.
"Huh?" She looks at Bree through her tear-stained face.
"Paula, this is Chase," Bree introduces. "Chase, this is Paula."
"Hi," she shyly says.
"Hi," I mumble.
"Great, now you two know each other," Bree smiles at us before shoving us in the direction of the room.
"Sorry about her," I apologize to Paula as we go into the room.
"It's fine," she sniffles. We both head over and take a seat at one of the tables, and facing the dance floor. "So, she's your sister?"
"Yeah."
"Cool, I have a brother."
"So do I."
"I actually already knew that," Paula bites her lip.
"Oh, Bree told you?"
"Yeah."
"That's okay," I shrug. The song playing through the speakers changes into a faster, more happy song. Everyone on the dance floor starts dancing like their having so much fun, but I'm okay with not being involved.
"You don't dance, do you?" Paula suddenly asks me.
"No."
"Me neither." A big smile spreads across her face. "Then let's." She stands up, grabs my hand, and pulls me up from my seat.
"Wait, what?" I ask confused, as Paula pulls me to the edge of the dance floor.
Paula starts dancing, but I just stand there awkwardly. She stops when she notices that I haven't moved, and grabs both of my hands, which I rip away instantly.
"Come on, Chase, have some fun," she urges.
"I'd rather not," I start to walk away, but she pulls me back. "I'm sorry Paula, but I don't dance."
"Why not? Just one dance?" Paula pleads.
"No, I'm not dancing," I snap, causing her to take a step back.
"Chase, please just-"
"No!" This time, my anger accidentally comes loose, which also ignites another glitch. My hand goes out in a 'stop' gesture, but Paula ends up flying back and slamming into the table we were just sitting at.
*present time*
I stare in shock at scene in front of me, which I am responsible for causing. Everyone's attention is on me, and I do the only thing that comes to my mind.
I run.
Adam's POV:
What just happened? And where did Chase go?
First, I watch Chase run out of the room, and then Bree soon follows. I, myself, am frozen in place, unsure of what to do.
"Whoa Violet, what did you do?" A guy's voice suddenly asks from next to me. Only my eyes shift, as the rest of my body stays frozen in place. I see a boy around Bree's age talking to Violet. His blonde hair shines in the light of the disco ball as he speaks to Violet.
"Hey, I didn't do anything," Violet complains. "Besides, we both know that you kick farther than me."
"Good point," the boy shrugs.
"Oh, Adam, this is Johnny. He's a friend from my martial arts class," Violet explains to me, but I stay silent. "Adam?" She waves a hand in front of my face. "You okay?"
"What?" I snap out of my trance. "Oh, yeah, I'm fine."
"Okay..." Violet gives me a weird look, but ends up just shrugging it off.
I look back over to where the girl is that was slammed into the table by Chase. Now, there are two different girls, one with brown hair and skin that is helping her up. The other is blonde, and is wearing what looks to be a very expensive dress. I decide that I should go over there too.
The girl is up by the time I get there, but she's also rubbing her head.
"Um, hi," I say sort of quietly.
"Hi," the girl rubbing her head gives me an odd look. "Who are you?"
"Oh, I'm Adam-" I try to say more, but she cuts me off.
"Bree's brother, right?"
"Yeah, and Chase's," I mumble the second half of that sentence.
"Well, I'm Paula," she introduces herself and sticks out the hand she does not have against her head. "And this is Janette." The brunette just waves as I give Paula's hand a shake. "And this is Hope," the blonde girl waves too.
"So, what exactly happened?" Janette asks Paula. "I missed it." My eyes go a bit wide at the question.
"Oh, well I was actually talking to Adam's brother, Chase," Paula starts. "When I tried to get him to dance, but he kept refusing. Eventually I got him a bit too frustrated, and then the next thing I knew I was crashing into the table."
"How could that happen?" Hope asks.
"I don't know, do you know Adam?" Paula asks me, and the three of them give me a curious look.
"Oh, um, well it's defiantly not special powers that were given to us by our evil uncle daddy, because that's impossible." I give a nervous laugh, but I know that I totally saved it.
"Huh?" Janette gives me a strange look, while Paula and Hope just look completely confused.
"Oh, martial arts," I lie, remembering what Violet had said earlier. "You just pushed him a bit too far, and then he was just able to kick you that far."
"Weird, I didn't feel his foot kick me at all," Paula crinkles her eyebrows. "Oh well, I guess I wasn't really paying attention."
"Yeah, yeah, that's it," I say unsurely.
"I guess my clumsiness could have also been part of it too, so I can't make Chase take all the credit. You never know, he may have never touched me, and I just was taken aback a bit too far, and fell into the table." Paula tries to think of a different possibility.
"How could that happen, you were so far from the table?" Hope asks and Paula just shrugs.
"What do you thing Adam?" Paula asks me.
"Oh, I um..." I look around frantically. "I have to go to the bathroom." I then run out of the room, leaving confused girls behind.
Leo's POV:
"What just happened?" The boy next me asks.
"I have no idea," I admit.
"Well, whatever happened, I'd hate to be that guy who just ran out. Everyone thinks that he did that to the girl, but he looks too innocent to have done that." He's right, Chase would never do anything like this. Not on purpose at least.
"Yeah, he is."
"Do you know him or something?" The brown-haired guy gives me a questionable look.
"Yeah, he's my step-brother."
"Oh, then do you know what happened?"
"No, I actually don't."
"Oh, alright..."
"I'm Leo, by the way," I suddenly say.
"Connor," we shake hands. "So, who was that?"
"Oh, that was Chase. He's one of my step-brothers like I said, but I also have another step-brother, Adam, and a step-sister, Bree."
"Cool."
"You have any?"
"No, but I do have a girlfriend, Janaysha. You?"
"Um, maybe," He raises an eyebrow. "Well, there's this girl Janelle, and I like her. We've hung out, but I don't know how we are as a couple. I hope we're in a relationship, but I don't truly think it's that way, yet."
"Yet?"
"Yes, yet," I smirk.
"Alright, that's fine with me." I can't help but chuckle a bit.
"So, was the girl that chased him out your step-sister?" That instantly grabs my attention.
"What girl?"
"You didn't see?" I shake my head. "Oh, well there was this girl in a very sparkly dress who ran after him."
"Blue?"
"Yeah, was that her?"
"Probably," I look over to where the girl was. She's still there with two other girls, and Adam? Suddenly the three girls look over to Adam, but he takes off out of the room, leaving them behind.
"Um, Connor, I have to go," I say as I rush out of the room to find at least one of my step-siblings.
I do end up running into one of them, and I mean it literally. I run straight into Bree when come out of the room and we both fall straight onto our backs.
"Leo?" She asks as she stands back up, while I do the same.
"Yeah, Bree?" I ask.
"Yep, what are you doing?"
"Just trying to find one of my bionics step-siblings, who all ran out on me."
"Wait, Adam too?"
"Yeah, what happened to Chase?"
"I'm not entirely sure, but I think he got angry or something and used his molecular kinesis to make Paula fly into the table."
"Paula?"
"Yeah, that's the girl's name."
"Oh, but why would he do that?"
"I don't know, but that's what I've been trying to find out. I've been trying to find Chase, but I have no idea where he went."
"Oh, you don't do you?" We both whirl around at the voice, and come face-to-face with Mr. Davenport.
A/N: I meant to post this earlier, but I went to my cottage this weekend, so I didn't really have time to finish this chapter. I also decided to ease up on the cliffhanger, to be nice, sort of. So, will they find Chase? I guess you'll just have to wait and see. All the OCs in this chapter were submitted to me, so I do not own any of them.
Review Replies:
daphrose: Sorry, I didn't hear your gasp, I was on Jupiter. I'm glad that you loved the humor I added in; sometimes I'm unsure if it's funny or not. Having Lily make an appearance was a spur of the moment idea I had. Thanks for thinking that I portrayed your OCs well, I was worried about doing that with everyone's OC. Chase glitching was a bit obvious in hindsight. I guess you now know that he unintentionally did it. Also, I'm pretty sure that you ate a bag of sugar during this… I was sort of rushing a bit on the last chapter, so I would have it up before I left. That means that I will have to look at it again and fix the mistakes. Wow, this is getting long. Anyway, thanks for your nice review! :D
Snooptastic: What you said gave me an idea, so thank you for that.
Coacoa: I believe that I did give you some tips before, and I honestly don't have much off the top of my head, sorry. Also, I'm glad that you now understand.
Ausllykickforever21: The girl's name is Paula, and she was an OC submitted by daphrose.
Thanks for reading! :P
