This place is amazing! Currently Chase, Bree and I are on the couch watching Ratatouille. I shall never look at mice the same again!
I haven't really started to panic yet about my situation. In such a perfect place, was there any danger? I guess I would find out eventually. But for now, I decided to just enjoy the ride.
It was a long winter back in De Smit. Here, there was many diffrent foods instead of just bread. Here there was warmth without having to twist together reeds to burn. Here there was things to do instead of sitting around the house.
For now, I was content here. I know that eventually I will have to go back, but here it is fine for a little while. My only regret is that my family isn't here to share in my good fourtune.
**Chase's POV**
Finally! The movie is over! I can't stand this one. It is just so illogical. A rat cooking? Come on! So what that the rat supposedly washes his paws? His fur is still grimy!* It's just like those stupid Pig Zombie movies!
Anyway, as of currently there were loads of angry mob sounds coming from upstairs. Looks like Bree was right, because between snippets of conversation drifting down here, there are lots of screams coming from Leo.
But this time it's diffrent.
Leo, unlike me, has super strength, which makes him a more closely matched opponent to Adam. I say closely because he is only bionic in one arm, and he is...well, Leo.
And can't fight, to put it simply.
Suddenly, Adam came flying into the room and smashed into the door.
"Oww..." he groaned.
"Ha! Now that is payback, people!" Leo cackled from the stairs.
Laura nudged me. "Why are Adam's eyes turning red?"
I did a double take. "Duck and cover!"
We hit the floor a split second before Adam began to glitch. A red laser hit the couch behind us, and a cup on the dining table. Many other shots hit targets, but I only saw the two.
Finally, it was over and we all got up.
One mistake: Adam wasn't done.
He lunged at Leo, ready to rip him limb from limb.
But Bree sped into Adam's path and slowed him down.
Laura fainted dead away.
And Leo screamed like a girl and ran back upstairs.
"Great! We just exposed our bionics, even after everyone in the world knows! How is this possible?!" Bree exclaimed.
"Leo. That's how." I said. "How do we tell Laura?"
"She already knows. She just saw. Think, Chase!" Adam exclaimed, tapping the side of his head.
Bree and I rolled our eyes.
"Let's take her somewhere and tell her. Ooh! like the frozen yogurt shop!" Bree suggested gleefully.
"Okay then. But only because I can't think of anywhere more interesting." I consented.
"Whoo-hoo! Who's ready fo' some fro-yo! I'll go get my toppings jacket!" Adam ran off to go find it.
**At the Yogurt Shop**
"And that's what you saw earlier." Bree finished.
"That is quite interesting, bionics." Laura said.
"If you think that's interesting, you should see my Incredible Edibles!" Adam quipped.
"His wha-" Laura started.
"You don't want to know." Leo interrupted.
"So, what do you think about 2014?" I asked Laura.
"It's amazing! There is so much to do, to eat! But it's SO expensive!"
"Yeah, but it's normal now." Bree nodded.
"So, while we're out, who wants to hit up Karts 'n' Klubs?" Leo suggested.
They all nodded.
"Forget that! How about we go to the library?" I suggested.
"Really?" Adam said boredly.
"Let's let Laura decide." Bree said, meeting in the middle.
"Okay, well, for starters, what are those things?" she asked curiously.
"Karts 'n' Klubs is a go-kart track and mini-golf. The library is a place where you can get books." I supplied.
She looked torn. "Uh, both sound really interesting. Is there anyway we could do both?"
"Yeah, but as long as we spend 75% of the time at Karts." Leo grinned.
I rolled my eyes. "Yeah, that could work. Let me call Davenport."
I stepped off to the side to call him. The others finished up their yogurt.
"Hello?"
"Douglas? This is Chase. Do you know if we have any training? We wanted to go to Karts 'n' Klubs."
"I don't know if Donald has any for you guys, but I'm your dad, and coming from me, nope. I'll cover for you guys, but on one condition."
"And that would be?"
"I wanna come too!" He blurted out like a little kid.
"Uh, ok?"
"Just give me a second. I'll be right over."
Then he hung up.
I walked back over to the group. "Okay, we are free to go, but there's one hitch."
"What?" Adam asked.
"Douglas is coming."
They all groaned.
Just then, a little girl about six years old walked by.
"Mommy! Mommy! It's the bionic people!" she screeched.
"Shh, be quiet now Katie. You want some yogurt, don't you?" the mother tried to calm her down.
But the little girl was persistant, and dragged her mother over to the table. Soon there was a crowd of onlookers, staring intently at the bionic trio.
"You're the fast one!" Katie squealed, pointing at Bree.
"Uh, yeah!" Bree laughed.
"And you can shoot lasers from your eyes!" She pointed at Adam.
"Don't forget strong!" Adam gloated.
"And what can you do again?" She looked at Chase.
I sighed.
Leo stifled a laugh, but not very well.
"I can move things with my mind, also called molecular kinesis, have a forcefield, can levitate, and am super smart."
"Prove it." Katie put her hands on her hips.
"Fine." I put out my hand and focused on a napkin dispenser on a table. It slowly rose into the air. I guided it into Katie's hands.
"There. See?"
"Yep. Cool." She nodded.
There was a squeal of tires as Douglas pulled up in his brother's Ferrari. Donald was not going to be happy.
He rolled down the window. "You guys ready?"
"See you later!" Bree waved at the pouting Katie.
"There are only four seats, so Bree is gonna have to super speed one of you over there." Douglas instructed.
We all nodded.
"It's between Leo and Laura, and I pick Laura!" Bree said quickly, and that was quick. She hoisted Laura onto her back, and sped off.
The four of us climbed into the red Ferrari and we were off.
**Author's Note**
Bit of a cliffie! I hope I got the Ferrari part right, I'm not a car person. All I know is that Ferraris are expensive. Anyway, time for some shout-outs!
RissA15: Wow, we think alike! Before you even commented, I already had something like that in mind! I'll give you a hint about what happens next: This takes place in March. If you have read The Long Winter, you probably caught the first part!
Adeo1234: Thank you! I know it sounds a bit weird in the summary, but it does make a funny plot line! I have imagined making something like this for a few months now, and this seemed like the perfect window.
Kate (Guest): Thank you!
See you next chapter! Please R & R! :)
