*Liv's POV*
After last week's fiasco, I managed to forgive Bree and Adam. For my presents, Bree got both of us a bracelet with half a heart on it. My half had the letter 'B' and Bree's own had the letters 'FF' so if you put it together, they spell the word 'BFF'. Adam got me a blue shirt which said 'Property of the Davenports. If found, return it immediately'. Anyway, Leo was talking about the Death Spiral Smackdown which was happening in school.
"After school today is the big Death Spiral Smackdown. Me and Adam are gonna unleash the fury! You guys gonna come watch?" He asked.
I frowned. "Leo, as much as I want to see you get pulverized, I'm gonna be busy." Leo glared at me but I ignored it.
"Yeah, we're gonna go to the mall and check out the escalator. I finally mastered the art of stepping off without tripping." Chase said.
Bree looked nervous. "Ooh, um, were we supposed to do that today? Shoot, I-I can't make it. I have a really big test to study for."
Chase sighed. "Okay, fine. I just hope those old ladies are there again to clap for me."
"Don't worry. I'll be there to cheer for you." I said as I pecked him on the lips.
Leo was holding a jar with something that looked like chocolate inside. "Never had this cereal before."
"No, Leo! Those are power pellets." Bree said.
"I don't care what they're called, as long as they make my milk chocolaty." Leo said.
"No. They're bite-sized pieces of adrenaline that activate our bionics." Chase said.
"Yeah, but, we don't eat them anymore because we learned how to active them ourselves." Bree said.
"They taste like dog treats without the livery aftertaste." I looked at Chase weirdly. " I'm guessing."
Leo sighed, getting Powered Sugar Cookie Donut O's. "Well, I guess I'll just have these."
"Careful, Leo!" Chase warned, taking the pack from him. "Those are Powdered Sugar Cookie Donut O's. Studies have shown they slow down your brain activity."
Adam came in and gasped. "Yummy Powdered Sugar Cookie Donut O's!" I rolled my eyes and got my bag, before going to school.
The bell rang and Chase, Leo and I spotted Bree talking to Caitlin and her group of friends.
"What is Bree still doing here? She said she had to study for a test." Chase said.
"Yeah, she's not studying for a test." Leo said.
"She lied to me!" Chase said.
I fake gasped. "Really?"
"Wow. Millions of dollars of technology for you to get a tiny grasp of the obvious." Leo said.
"She thinks she can ditch me and get away with it? Ohh. She is going down. Mr. Davenport gave me an Override App so in an emergency situation, I can take over Adam and Bree's bionics." Chase informed us. "Connect to Bree." Then I saw Chase slapping himself. I looked over at Bree and saw her slapping herself.
"Ow! Ow! Ow! Why am I hitting myself?" Bree asked no one in particular. I started to laugh. Even though she's my bestfriend, this is really funny.
"Time to wake up, Bree! Not sleepy anymore! Wake up!" Bree screamed.
"I was friends with a self-slapper once. I'm not going down that road again!" Caitlin said, before she and her friends left Bree. Bree looked confused and sad, before walking away. I kept on laughing.
I saw Chase standing by a locker and walked up to him.
"What are you doing?" I asked.
"Planning to embarrass Bree again." Chase said and the next thing I knew, Bree was talking Swedish.
"Bree, you're a lot of moments!" Caitlin said.
"No, it's just, um, I speak Swedish." Then she stared speaking Spanish. "A-And Spanish." Then Bree's voice turned deep. "S'up, ladies? How you livin'?" Her voice returned to normal. "And man-ish."
"I don't know what happened. She wasn't this weird last week!" Caitlin said, walking away. Bree looked at us and saw me and Chase laughing. She stomped over to us.
"You did this to me." Bree yelled. "You're using that stupid Override App."
"Yep, because you lied to me." Chase said.
She looked at me. "Why were you laughing?"
"In my defense... You were funny."
Bree looked at Chase."Well, since you used bionics on me, I'm gonna use mine on you. And beware. It's coming when you least expect it."
"Ooh! Those are big words coming from the manly Spanish-speaking Swede." Chase said.

You know that time where your boyfriend is wearing a clown hair, a red nose and a tail? Well it's happening to me now.
"Aah! What the-?" Chase looked at Bree and I saw her smiling and waving. "You will pay for this!" He mumbled, before walking away.
I went to stand by Bree. "Nice work, Bree."
She smiled. " What can I say? I'm great at getting revenge." We fist-bumped.
"We won! We won!" Leo chanted.
"That's it? No way! We're too pumped for this thing to end! I want more! More! More!" Adam yelled.
"Leo! What's going on with Adam?" Bree asked.
"Yeah. Why's he acting stranger than usual?" I asked.
"Oh, he's just a winner, like me. Me and Adam winners. I didn't do anything." Leo nervously said.
"Did you give him power pellets?" Bree asked.
"Just one... Bowl." Leo hesitated.
"What?!" Bree yelled. "Too many of those pellets will keep his adrenaline going! It'll snowball, and he won't be able to turn his bionics off!"
"Doesn't matter now. We won!" Leo said. Oh,Leo. Winning isn't everything.
"Now, on to the finals! There can only be one true winner of the Death Spiral Smackdown, so tomorrow we go mano-a-mano. Gentlemen, your teammate is now your enemy!" Perry said with an evil giggle.
"I need to go against him?" Leo asked, pointing to Adam, who roared and popped a football.
"Yep. So you go home and get your rest. And I'm gonna go home and get my camera." Perry said.

"Come on, guys, you have to help me!" Leo begged. "I need to go against Adam tomorrow, and he's like a big, strong, goofy godzilla, and I'm Tokyo!"
"What's the big deal? Just quit!" Bree suggested.
"I can't just quit. The whole school is expecting me to take on Adam tomorrow, and if I quit, I'll just be humiliated." I looked at Leo with a 'Really?' look. "More humiliated. If I wanted to lose, I could have just stuck with Gordo and kept a friend."
"The pellets will wear off eventually, but until they do, just keep an eye on him and make sure he doesn't destroy the whole house." Bree said.
I noticed Adam holding a toilet. "Can somebody help me put this back on?

You'd think that after getting revenge, everything would be fine. Well, when your boyfriend and bestfriend look ridiculous, you're in for a whole lot more.
"All those clothes, and you couldn't find something to cover your face?" Bree asked.
"Go ahead. Try to humiliate me. I have 36 items of clothing on." Chase said.
"Why would I try? You're humiliating yourself."
"Oh, yeah? Well, the tin man called. He wants his neck back."
"It's to deflect your stupid App from connecting to my chip. It's the heavy duty kind they use in restaurants."
I stepped between them. "Can you guys shut up. You're embarrassing yourselves." As if on cue, a group of people started laughing at Chase and Bree.
Bree sighed. "Liv's thinks we're weirdos."
"Hey, it's your fault for lying and ditching me." Chase said.
"I-I didn't want to hurt your feelings. Caitlin's the first real friend I've ever had. Just 'cause I want to hang out with her doesn't mean I like you any less."
"Yeah, well, I have other friends too now, so..."
"That's great. I mean, you should go hang out with them sometimes."
"Yeah, I don't really have other friends. But I'm gonna go get some."
"Good. Oh, and before you do that, you might want to lose a layer or two."
"Yeah, and you might want to lose the baked potato neck."
"So, as it turns out, Adam is too sick to compete. Such a shame. I guess that means I'm the winner. "Winner, party of Leo, your trophy's ready." Leo said.
"Sick? He can't be sick! He's supposed to be here to annihilate you so I can run you up the flagpole and salute failure!" Perry said.
"Adam is so sick, he can... Barely move." Leo said.
"It pains me deep to my core to say this, but the winner by default is..." Perry stammered.
"Adam!" Gordo exclaimed.
"Sorry I'm late, Principal Perry. Somebody locked me in my cap- Bedroom. But I just had a gigantic bowl of my favorite cereal, so now I'm ready to compete, crush, and destroy." Adam said.
"That's the dingo spirit! Bring on the pain!" Perry said.
"But wait, no! We're like brothers." Leo shrieked.
"Oh. Good point. Um... Well, then, I guess I will crush and destroy you as gently as possible while still crushing and destroying you." Adam said. Perry blew an air-horn. Then they started to fight. Adam was doing a countdown, holding Leo.
"Adam ate a whole bowl of power pellets! He's gonna turn Leo into a human wrecking ball if we don't stop him from finishing his countdown!" Bree said. "Quick, use your Override App!"
"It's only for emergencies!" Chase said.
"This is an emergency!" I yelled. Long story short, Chase made sure that Adam didn't destroy Leo and Leo won. I sighed. Can't anything be normal?
