A/N: Gosh... this felt like it took forever. Had the basic idea in my head, but boy getting it down on paper was harrowing. I don't know how I managed it. Anyway, hope you guys like it and please enjoy. Oh! Also, I typed most of the last chapter on my ipad so there were a few typos... at the end Pete said he picked the name. It was supposed to be names. So they have different things on their shirts. :)

Enjoy it. It's fun, fluffy-ish and there's a little (dun dun dun) drama at the end. Sorry I don't know how to write out ominous dramatic musical sounds.

Myka tugged uncomfortably at her gray t-shirt, she didn't like all the attention; and boy, was the warehouse team getting loads of attention. Pete thought it was all him, but in reality the four women he stood between were the real reason they were being stared at.

Helena and Leena couldn't help but toss on the worlds shortest shorts that morning, while Claudia rocked some awesome cargo pants and Myka opted for the yoga pants sitting on her dresser. Pete settled for basketball shorts and regretted it as soon as the first wedgie hit him.

"This is gonna suck!" He said as he shifted a bit to nonchalantly wiggle the fabric around.

"Told you to wear cargo pants dude. No one ever listens to me. You think they would since I am next in line to be caretaker... but no. She's still the resident tech nerd of Warehouse 13." Claudia turned and pointed at the name across her back, then tapped Pete on the shoulder before walking over to the refreshment table.

"Wait up Claude!" Leena followed, leaving Myka, Helena and Pete behind.

"Okay so 2.6?" Myka was refering to the number on their shirts.

"What? We needed a jersey number."

"But 2.6?"

"You know? There's five of us. 2.6 times 5 is 13 as in Warehouse 13..."

"Okay I get it, but why didn't you just put the number 13 on the shirts?"

"Okay first off, stop calling them shirts; they are jerseys and jerseys need a number. Second, I wanted to be smart and thought adding a little math in there would be impressive." Pete crossed his arms in front of his chest.

"First, they are t-shirts and second, Claudia did the math for you didn't she?"

"No!" Pete defended himself, then huffed out a big breath. "Sarah did it for me. And can we please say that they are jerseys disguising themselves as t-shirts then?"

Helena couldn't supress the laugh that bubbled up and pulled Myka right in with her. "Sorry Peter. I think it's really sweet and thank you for putting Father of Science Fiction on my shirt... I mean jersey. I love it." She leaned in and kissed Pete's cheek.

"Yeah and one more thing Pete. Why does everyone get names that they like on their shir... jersey except me?"

"Darling, Ophelia is lovely and it's your middle name." Helena said into Myka's ear. "I think it's beautiful."

"You don't know the backstory Helena." Myka said between gritted teeth as she glared at Pete.

It was Pete's turn to laugh as he put both his hands up at chest level and squeezed them in mid air mouthing 'can Ophelia boobies?' He managed to sprint away before Myka could catch him.

"He could have at least put the name on the back of the shirt like everyone else, instead of across my tits." Myka rolled her eyes, turning into Helena who pulled her into a warm hug.

"Come love, lets get some fruits before the event starts shall we?"

Myka nodded and took her wife's offered hand, allowing herself to be pulled into the crowd.

"Mom! Mum!"

Helena and Myka turned around to see Sarah running up to them from the crowd of people.

"Hey sweetie, what's up?"

"This isn't gonna work. Those girls are awful! They won't work with me and we're never gonna make it to the end of this thing. It's like 7 miles of hell with them."

"Sarah give it a chance. Have some faith, it'll be fun." Helena tucked stray pieces of Sarah's hair behind her ear.

"Easy for you guys to say, you get to do the race with people you like!"

"Yeah but you managed to work things out with Ryleigh, try it with the other girls." Myka added.

"Ryleigh is different. She apologized even before she knew anything about the locket. She's genuinely a kind person who made a mistake. Those girls don't think they did anything wrong."

"Well, when Ryleigh and her mom get here, maybe she'll talk to them." Myka tried again.

"Yeah. Sure." She gave up, giving her mom's a kiss on their cheeks and turned to join her team. Myka and Helena overheard her mumbling as she walked away. "This will be great. Team building and working together..."

"You think she'll be okay?" Helena asked as she leaned back against Myka's chest.

Myka wraped her arms around her wife and put her chin on her shoulder. "She'll figure it out. Besides, Ryleigh's a good kid, those girls will either figure out what they did was wrong, or they won't. Either way, Sarah won't lose anything she didn't already have."

"That is very insightful, but I meant do you think she'll be okay with us beating her." The two women laughed, joining their team for some light snacks before the race.

...

The race was about to begin, Helena snuck a peak at her daughters team. Since they were there because of bullying, Claudia thought it would be a good idea for them to race for the Love is Louder campaign. Artie supported the girls by wearing a 'Love is Louder than THESE eyebrows' shirt that Claudia so lovingly got for him.

Pete was doing the race for FFCF to help people who fell victim to fires and lost everything, Claudia decided she wanted to support the Give Well Charity that helped with bringing computers into schools. Having a soft spot for children, and in memory of Christina; Helena decided on Children in Need which provided help to those who were without a home, food or just in a bad situation. Myka decided that she would fight Claudia by supporting Reading Tree, hoping to bring more books into the school libraries around the world. Leena had a foundation close to her heart, NFCR; the National Foundation of Cancer Research.

Each team member had their jersey shirts with a patch on the sleeve for the charity of their choice and they were off. The whistle blew and the race had officially begun.

Myka and Helena ran together often so they were able to keep pace with each other. Myka quickly reached out and held onto her wife's hand while Pete and Claudia made kissy noises behind them.

"Really children..." Helena said over her shoulder.

"It's sweet." Leena whispered as she breezed by Pete and Claudia.

"How are the girls doing?" Myka asked, looking around.

"They're right behind us." Claudia answered. "Seems like they have a good pace, but when we get to the hills and dirt, I doubt those prissy chicks will be able to hack it. 20 says Sarah has to carry them over the mud." She panted with each step she took.

"You're on!" Pete held his hand out and Claudia took it. Helena quickly turned her head to see Pete and Claudia running hand in hand.

"That is lovely you two. So cute." She said mockingly.

"Not the same thing old lady and you know it." Pete pointed at Helena as she turned back around and continued running.

They came to the first obstacle, a 6 foot wall.

"Lovely." Helena whispered as Pete got his hands down for her to step on. He hoisted her up into the air enough so she could catch the top of the wall and pull herself the rest of the way up. "Claudia you next." She said as she leaned over and stretched her arm down. Claudia took her hand and was pulled up almost gracefully.

"Holy strong woman batman!"

Myka just smiled and shook her head. She knew exactly how strong Helena was, as well as how much stamina the small woman had. If anyone would survive this thing to the very end with no problems, it would be her.

"Help me with Leena darling." Claudia and HG both lowered one arm while Pete gave Leena a boost. She was up on the wall in a second.

"Okay Pete." Myka said as she prepped her hands for him to get a boost.

"Really Mykes!?" He hissed embarrassingly, looking around to see if anyone was watching.

"Dude, I'm a lot taller than you, I can jump and catch the lip of the wall, you guys can pull me up. Adjust your training bra and stop whining man. Get up there." She set her hands up again and this time Pete stepped on them, and getting the boost he needed he pulled himself up to sit on the wall with the rest of his team.

"Darling your turn." Helena reached her hand down, smiling as Myka took a running start. She jumped and gripped Helena's hand first, then the wall with the other hand.

"That wasn't so bad." Myka breathed out heavily against Helena's cheek before planting a small kiss there.

The team was on the ground again and running once more.

"How many miles till the next station?" Claudia started whining. "And please tell me it's like a brain teaser or something not so physical."

"Come on Claude it's not that bad." Myka said, trying to make her younger friend feel better, but Claudia just glared at her. "About a mile and a half."

"Damn!" Claudia looked behind them at the wall. "Hey, Sarah's team just landed on the other side. They're right behind us."

Myka and Helena couldn't help but be proud of her, so much that they unknowingly slowed their pace to watch their girl encouraging her team.

"Hey grandmas keep it moving!" Pete said as he ran between the two.

...

By the time they got to the mud crawl, Claudia was toasted and being carried by Pete. He dropped her and started crawling, she followed close behind with Leena in tow.

Helena slowly got down on all fours and started crawling under the net, giving Myka a perfect view of her behind, which was unfortunate for the team of young men who also stopped and appreciated it.

"Nice." Myka heard one of them whisper.

"Excuse me?" She crossed her arms looking at the frat house five with their jaws hitting the ground.

"Your friend is hot." The kid looked Myka up and down. "So are you. Want my digits?"

"Ew." She whispered. "My wife and I are fine without your... digits." She rolled her eyes and pulled herself through the mud as fast as possible, hearing wolf whistles coming from behind her. "Gross."

Helena helped her up when she reached the end, all of them were covered from head to toe in mud.

"Okay the moment of truth." Claudia and Pete stood side by side at the end of the station watching as Sarah and her team approached. Claudia held her hand out for 20 bucks when she heard two of Sarah's team members say 'no way' but Pete scoffed.

"Not until she carries them through the mud kid."

Sarah was about to crawl when she heard Ryleigh behind her.

"Oh no!"

"What is it?" She turned her head, looking up at her new friend.

"My bracelet! It fell off."

"Probably somewhere around the last station." One of the girls standing there said.

"I have to go back and find it." Ryleigh turned around and started walking back.

"No way!" The girl gripped her arm tight. "We didn't come all this way so you could turn around. We can't finish without you there."

Myka almost went to them when she saw that girl grab Ryleigh, but Helena stopped her.

Sarah stood up and grabbed the other girls wrist, pulling her hand away. "You guys go ahead and finish. We'll catch up."

"Yeah right! You won't be able to go back a mile and then make it all the way to the end before we get there. There's only one more station after this."

"Look, we will go back. You guys can wait here, come with us or finish. It's up to you." Sarah took Ryleigh's hand and pulled her back to the last check point.

The warehouse family just smiled and continued on, proud of the little Bering-Wells.

"She's a good kid." Pete said, throwing his arm over Myka's shoulder.

"She is."

"I must have done something right." He said, earning himself a round of sarcastic comments from each of his team members. "What?"

"Let's go guys." Myka took Helena's hand again and they ran to the end of the race.

...

"You didn't have to come with me." Ryleigh whispered, tugging on Sarah's hand to slow down.

"It's okay. What does your bracelet look like?"

"It's a silver charm bracelet. It has a house, a heart, a medal and hope on it." Ryleigh's voice cracked when she described the jewelry.

"That sounds nice. Was it a gift?"

"My dad gave it to me. He's deployed overseas for 18 months." Tears started to fall from Ryleigh's eyes as she scanned the ground. Nothing.

"I'm sorry. He's very brave doing that and you should be proud of him." Sarah let go of her friends hand and moved away a little to widen the search. "How much longer till he gets home?"

"11 months. He gave me this bracelet before he left."

"We'll find it okay?"

She nodded and kept looking. "I'm really sorry about your locket."

"You already apologized and I forgave you."

"I don't know how you could. It was so special and your sister? If someone broke my bracelet I would never be able to forgive them." She looked at Sarah's locket, noticing how nice it was now that it was fixed again.

"It's really okay. My mum and I made it good as new." In the distance, Sarah saw something shining in the sun. She ran to it and bent down, picking the bracelet up and walking back over to Ryleigh. "Here." She waited till her friend put her hand out and she clasped the bracelet back around her wrist. "Where it belongs."

"Thank you."

"Anytime, now let's catch up to the team."

They ran and did the mud crawl quickly, Sarah would be lying if she said she didn't swallow a little bit of dirt as she laughed thinking about the other girls struggling through this obstacle.

"Another wall!" Ryleigh hunched over, hands on her knees. "And it's 7 feet tall this time. We won't finish!"

"It's okay. Trust me." Sarah reached into her back pocket and pulled out a little device.

"What is that?"

Sarah pointed it up to a spot on the wall and pressed the trigger. "It's a grappler. My mum designed it for me and we built it together." She held her free arm open. "Shall we?"

Ryleigh hesitantly stepped into Sarah's arm and before she knew it, she was on top of the wall.

...

Myka and Helena were waiting at the finish line, covered in mud and sweat with a bottle of water in their hands.

"There they are!" Myka said proudly, drawing the rest of the girls to them as well as the rest of the warehouse team.

"Mom!" Sarah leapt into Myka's arms before backing away and stealing her water bottle.

"How did you guys do the wall?" Myka asked.

"It was amazing Mrs. Bering-Wells!" But before she could continue, Sarah had placed her hand over her mouth.

"I used my grappler." She whispered to her mother's when they leaned in.

As everyone walked away to change and go home, Myka looked at Helena. "You think we should be worried?"

"About?"

"When you used that grappler with me, I fell for you instantly." Myka bumped Helena's shoulder.

"Well, Sarah is a big part of us and we are a very big part of her but she is still her own person and I don't think we need to worry about her. Pete was right, she's a good kid."

"She has an amazing mum to look up to." Myka wrapped her arms around Helena from behind and walked clumsily with her to the car.

"She has two." Helena turned her head and kissed Myka on the cheek.

...

The team stumbled up the stairs and into the B&B completely exhausted.

"Please can we stay here tonight Leena, I don't think I can make it back to the cottage." Helena mumbled, practically passing out on the porch.

"Sure HG, your old room is still very empty."

As they rounded the corner to sit in the dining area, they froze.

"Mrs. F?" Pete said nervously. "And dudes in suits."

"Regents Mr. Lattimer. Your mother is here as well." Irene gestured to the couch where Jane was sitting with two other regents.

"What's going on?" Claudia asked the caretaker.

"Ms. Donovan if you would please join us, we have some things to discuss."

"Sweetie why don't you run upstairs and shower." Myka whispered to Sarah before sending her on her way. "Mrs. Fredric, what is this about?"

"You and Helena, and the future of this warehouse team. The regents feel that it's time to re evaluate the team and..."

"And what!? Split us up? Fire some of us? What?" Claudia started shouting.

"No. Ms. Donovan if you would join us we need to talk to you."

"Why me?"

"You are the future caretaker and the fate of this group is resting mainly on your shoulders."

Everyone watched as Claudia disappeared behind two doors with Mrs. F and the group of regents. Pete and Artie paced and listened against the door.

"Nothing." Pete said. "I hear nothing."

"Guys, why don't we all just get cleaned up and changed. We can come back down after and wait for them to tell us what's going on."

"Helena's right." Myka took her wife's hand and pulled her toward the stairs. "Standing there, covered in mud won't do anything Pete."

"Fine."

With the downstairs finally cleared, Mrs. Fredric turned away from the door and looked at Claudia. "So. You have a decision to make."

Okay... is this okay? If you didn't like it, please tell me because I know where I want to go with this, but if people who are reading it don't want it to go in a certain direction, I will try and figure out a way to make it work for you. I am here to please so tell me if I'm doing this all wrong. It wasn't the best, but I don't think it was my worst. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed it and please comment, review, have a blast telling me how amazing I am. Totally kidding. :X

Love you all for reading. XO
