"So, do all fuzzy animals have boys inside them or is it just the dingoes?" Addie questions about the mascot at school, breaking the silence in the room.

Chance turns to her 'mentally challenged' older sister. "If Mrs. Davenport's such a great scientist, then how come I'm not a little stronger and your not a lot smarter?" She goes up close and says the last three words in Addie's face.

"I don't know...but does this hurt?" Addie punches Chance across the back.

"GAAHH!" Chance grunts in pain.

"Now I'm never gonna have a girlfriend." Brett complains. "Guess I'll just keep fake-kissing that wall." Addie gives him a disgusted face. "Oh, we've all done it!"

"Leah, what are you doing? You're not allowed to be down here!" Chance points out as Leah walks through the doors of the lab.

"I know. But you know that party everyone at school's been talking about?"

"It's in your living room!" Leah announces as they go upstairs.

"Do the Leah! Do the Leah! Do the Leah! Do the Leah! Now just the sexy people!" Leah starts dancing wildly.

"Leah, I can't believe you did this!" Chance says with a grin.

"Yeah. I owed you guys, and since you couldn't go, I brought the party here. Cheese curl?" Leah holds up a bowl of cheese curls.

"Hey, what about your dad and Davenport?" Addie questions.

"They're at dinner. They'll be gone for hours." Leah explains. "Jamie get your head out of there. It's a microwave."

...

"Karsyn!" Brett exclaims seeing the girl and her swollen nose.. "Is that thing throbbing?" He says pointing out Karsyn's nose.

"Yeah! And if it's not better by Monday, They're gonna drain it."

Brett gives a disgusted look.

"Careful there, buddy." Chance says seeing Addie grabbing a slice of cake. "That cake has approximately 47 grams of sugar. If you eat it, you'll be bouncing off the walls for hours."

"How do you know that?"

"'Cause I just had 12 pieces!" Chance grabs a fist full of cake and eats it.

"Whoo-hoo!"

Addie grabs the cake and shoves it in her mouth. "Raahhhh!" She joins Chance in jumping on the couch.

At that moment, Davenport and Tyler walk through the front door at the look in shock at the chaos of a party.

"WHAT THE-" Donna yells. She is interrupted by the sound of a loud horn.

"Hey, you're back!" Leah says as she comes riding in on a mini car. "How did these people get here?" She fakes innocence.

"You are in big trouble, missy." Tyler says to his daughter.

"Hey, everybody! Thanks for coming." Donna starts with faux calmness "GET OUT!"

All the teenagers head towards the door.

"You kids have really done it this time." Donna says, with disappointment evident in her voice. "And who gave Edie cake?!" She motions to the cake smeared electronic on the wall.

"I just wanted them to have one more night of fun before you put them back in their display cases." Leah explains.

"Biologically regulated atmospheric chambers." Donna corrects. She turns her bionic kids. "Look, the fun's over. As of tomorrow, you're all being relocated permanently."

"What?" All the kids say in unison.

"What part of 'no contact with the outside world' did you not understand?"

"Where are we going?" Brett asks.

"To one of my remote research facilities where you can complete your training." Donna answers.

"But this is home." Addie starts. "This is where I get my meaty-flavored pellets."

"Not anymore. Now go downstairs and pack your stuff." Donna demands. Sad-eyed, the teens obey, and go down to the lab.

"This isn't fair. They're my best friends." Leah storms out of the living room.

"Donna, when are you going to realize that they're not just science projects? They're teenagers." Tyler walks out of the living room, leaving his wife something to think about.

"Any chance we can ship him off, too?" Edie asks, appearing on the screen.

"No!"

"Okay, just checking."

"I can't believe this is our last night in the lab." Brett says glumly while absentmindedly combing his hair.

"I think Leah's really gonna miss us." Chance points out.

"Yeah, me too." Addie says, as Leah is hanging onto her leg, asleep. "Think we should wake her up?"

"No, let her sleep." Brett says with a slight chuckle.

"But she's drooling on my socks." Addie complains. The three close their capsules and go to sleep, worrying about the day ahead.
