Hey again everybody! You all seemed very excited to see what the boys have planned for Bree. I have to say, I had fun on this chapter! It was nice to use more humor again! And for those of you who like the siblings moments – and protective Adam – there a really sweet one (in my opinion) at the very end. So enjoy!

(Also, over 150 reviews! Wow! Thank you guys so much! :D)


* * * Bree's POV * * *


I smiled as I studied Owen's face on the computer screen. I had been searching through my laptop for pictures that might help Chase remember when I got a video-chat request from "torturedartist18." Though I felt a little bad about not helping my brother, I had accepted immediately.

Owen was telling me about some painting he was doing to represent the evils of government and how . . . I don't know, I wasn't paying attention. I just liked seeing his cute face.

"So how's your brother doing?" Owen asked suddenly, snapping me out of my little trance.

"Oh, uh, Chase is alright," I replied. "He's got a little amnesia . . ."

"Whoa, is he okay?"

"Yeah, he'll be alright."

"How did that happen?"

"Oh!" I exclaimed. I racked my brain for a lie. "Well, you see . . ."

All of a sudden the elevator opened and two of my brothers tumbled into the room. One of them stopped every few steps to cough and the other was attempting to hide a grin. I sighed and rolled my eyes, but at least they had given me an excuse not to answer Owen's question.

"Guys, I'm on a video-chat with Owen!" I told them. "Can you leave me alone?"

"Oh, but Bree!" Chase said, shaking his head. "Adam told me that there are so many good memories that you can share to help me jog my memory!"

"Yeah!" Adam said. Both of my brothers were now standing behind the couch I was sitting on. They were in full view of my computer's camera, so Owen could see them clearly. "Like when you used to kiss the wall when we were little!" Adam continued giddily.

My cheeks flushed red and I saw Owen suppress a laugh. I glared at him through the screen. "We all did that!" I protested.

"Adam told me that you sleep ugly, too!" Chase said.

"Yeah, and you snore like this!" Adam proceeded to mimic a loud snore.

"I . . . I do not!" I attempted to shout over Adam's loud snores. I turned back to my computer and tried to smile. Owen just raised an eyebrow.

"I think I'm remembering something!" Chase said as he danced around the room. "I once caught you making out with your 'Talking Steve' doll!"

I wanted so bad to vanish into thin air. To my relief Owen vouched for me. "That's not such an unusual thing for a little girl to do!" Owen pointed out.

"Thank you!" I said.

"She was thirteen!" Chase said with laugh.

I could see in the screen that my face was as red as a tomato. "I think my brother got his memory back," I muttered though gritted teeth.

Suddenly Chase began to wrinkle up his nose. Then he sneezed. It was a snot-cannon sneeze. I gazed in horror at my laptop, which was now covered in mucus. Owen's mouth was wide-open in shock.

"H-how . . ." he stuttered.

"Got-to-go-Owen-see-you-on-Monday-bye!" I said all in one breath before slamming my laptop shut and throwing it aside in disgust.

I leapt off the couch "You're dead!" I shouted. Chase just laughed and ran out of the room. I charged after him.

After a few minutes of running through the halls, I used my super-speed to get rid of the distance between me and my brother. I caught hold of the collar of Chase's shirt and pushed him into the wall.

"Wait, Bree!" my brother pleaded. "You wouldn't hurt a sick brother, would ya?"

"I'd consider it!" I growled.

Chase coughed before saying, "I'm sorry, okay?"

"You glitched in front of my crush!" I shouted. "You're going to help me explain that on Monday!"

"Fine, fine!" Chase whimpered. "Just put me down!"

"You also embarrassed me!"

"I'm sorry Bree! We were just messing around. Please put me down."

I scowled. "Fine," I complied reluctantly. "But only because you're ill." I let go of Chase and he fell to his knees. I put my hands on my hips and rolled my eyes. "Come on, get up!" I instructed.

Chase put his hand on the wall and started to lift himself up. Then suddenly he dropped back down. His body began to rack with coughs. I looked on for a few seconds, waiting for them to stop. But they didn't.

"Chase?" I asked worriedly as I kneeled down next to him. "Chase!"

"There you guys are!" I heard someone say. I turned my head to see Adam coming down the hallway towards us. "What's wrong with Chase?" he asked.

"I don't know!" I said. "He won't stop coughing!"

"Hey, Chase!" Adam said as he got down on his knees next to our brother. He began to thump Chase on the back, which only caused my younger brother to cough harder. "Just breathe, buddy!"

After several seconds Chase's coughing finally stopped. He gasped for air and began to shake a little. "I-I'm f-fine," he stammered weakly. "C-can we just go back down to the l-lab?"

"Sure thing," Adam said. The two of us got up and helped our younger brother to his feet. We slung his arms over our shoulders and went to the elevator together.


So, did you like it? What was your favorite part? Don't forget to review and let me know!

I have good news and bad news. Bad news: there are only two more chapters of Glitch Fever left. Good news: I'll be starting more stories right after it's over, including one super-special sequel called "I'm a Monster." Cue applause! Here's my current schedule, just to keep you guys up-to-date on my plans:

Tuesday – chapter 12 of GF (Glitch Fever). Wednesday – chapter 13, the final chapter, of GF. Chapter 12 of JAG (Just Another Girl). Thursday – chapter 1 of a three-shot called "Arcane Art." Friday – chapter 2 of 2A (Arcane Art). Saturday – chapter 3, the final chapter, of 2A. Chapter 13 of JAG. And the prologue for IAM (I'm a Monster) will go up either Saturday or Sunday.

Now, there's more bad news: Because I'm working on IAM, I'm postponing other projects like Losing It All and Hunted. Don't worry, they will still be posted someday! It will just be later than I thought. But I really want to write/post IAM now. Just be patient for the other stories. They will come someday, don't worry.

So now you guys know how this week will go in regards to my updating. Wow, I'm busy, aren't I? I hope you guys will enjoy my new stories as much as you seem to enjoy this one! See you very soon!
