Leo and I were standing in the life at school with Leo dancing a weird dance thing when the doors opened and Perry was standing there. Freaking out, I hid behind Leo and she saw us... well him. " Dooley! What are you doing in my lift?" Then saw me." And Merrick! Why are there two?!" " Well... you know.. just enjoying the music. Today is " Love songs from the nineties."" I said putting my hand behind my head and she shook her head.

" Just use the stairs! This is exactly how healthy kids become unhealthy adults!" Leo and I give her a look," Are we really having this conversation?" Leo asked looking her up and down, " For your information I am a sped walker! Perhaps you've seen me at the Mission Creek mall? Giving the shoppers some eye candy?" She said and we both gagged," Listen up space-wasters! This is emergency preparedness week! An emergency drill can happen any time so when the alarm sounds you must evacuate the building in an orderly fashion like cattle... if cattle had ance and braces and a future filling up my gas tank." She said laughing." Not Unless Your Dead!" I called to her and she glared at me," Shut it Merlick!" I glared back at her crossing my arms." It's Merrick!"

" I wish I had Bree's super speed! You do not want to be stuck behind cows in an emergency! Trust me on that!" Adam said and I raised an eyebrow." You would trade your super strength for super speed? If i had your strength I would just run out the building carrying those cows!" Chase said and I shook my head." If I had your super-intelligence i'd walked from this conversation fifty-seconds ago." Bree said. "You know what would be awesome?!" Leo asked," If you guys took your chips and switched!" He said, and Bree said," If Chase gets Adam's strength then I get his intelligence and Adam gets my speed!" I nodded." I want good lucks and charisma! Oh.. to late I already have them." Leo said and I gave him a ' are you serious ' look, then he walked away

Time Skip

" If you are going to switch your chips, then you did to do it before school. You also need to run it by Davenport first, right? " Leo said and I nodded, agreeing. " They are our chips. " Bree said. " Well yeah... but what if something glitches out and you all end up, Adam's gigantic head on Chase's tiny , no offence, doll-like body?" I said patting his head like he was a dog, and he looked down and back up and I laughed then put my arm around his shoulders." Sorry, but it is true... even if your an inch taller then me." I whispered to him and he sighed. " Do you think I asked Davenport which shoe goes on which foot? No! I labelled them, 'left, and 'not left'. " Adam said and I faceplamed. " Bree, attach the chip extractors to the capsules. I'll program the computer for chip removal, and Adam... you ju-just get in the capsule. " Chase said and Adam ran to get inside his capsule.

"Elizabeth, once we get inside, press this green button. " Chase said and I rolled my eyes and said," Don't you think I would know that." The three then got in the capsules and I pressed the button. " Oh no, my head's coming off!" Adam shouted and Leo freaked," Just kidding." They then walked out and I asked," Do you think it worked?" I asked. "I don't know, hey Adam, let's arm wrestle. " Chase said then beat him easily and I gaped. " Yes!" Chase said and I smiled." Liked you better when you were smart!" I said. " I'm next!" Leo said and I laughed when he was beaten after he said," This is going to be a piece of cake." Davenport then walked in," Hurry up guys, your gonna be late for school."

" Hey Big.D, just a simple question. What would happen if three totally random bionic kids decided to switch their chips. I'm not asking for them, it's for my three other bionic friends." Leo asked." Wait, you have three other bionic friends?" Adam asked," We could get a party bus!" " You guys didn't switch your chips did you?" Mr.D asked and we all said, no. " Good, cause that would be a crazy idea. See I calibrated your bionics to match their biology. Adam has height, so I paired that with strength. Bree is lean, so that increases her speed. And Chase, of course, nobody questions Chase's impossible wealth of knowledge, because he's... well you know... nerdy." Mr.D said." Yep. I got all sorts of smarts up in here. Like numbers and mathy stuff." He said and I shook my head." You see, switching their chips could cause a lot of unpredictable problems. You should never do it.. ever! I have spoken!" Chase scoffed, " is making such a big deal out of nothing." " We already switched our chips and nothing bad happened. " Bree said." Race you to school!" Adam said and super sped into a wall and we all laughed.

Time Skip

The fire drill started to go off causing me to skip and cover my ears, I was still not used to the bells and this one was louder then them all. " Come on. Pretend its the mall, show those shoppers! There's a food court at the finish line!" Me and Leo were in the lift and he walked out to be caught by Principle Perry." What do you think your doing?" She asked, " In an emergency this lift is the last place you should be." " Well it is now that your here." I said and the doors closed. " We;re going up." I said. " Did you push a button?" She asked." No!" He said." You must have bumped it when you shifted your centrer of gravy. Gravity." I said and got glared at by her when a sound was heard and I pushed against the wall getting a terrible feeling in my stomach and my breath caught in my throat.

Perry pushed all the buttons and they light up." Powers still on must be a fuse." She said," The one day I didn't wear my tool belt." Leo took something out of his pocket." I have a paper clip." He said. " That will come in handy if we need to hold two papers together!" She said and threw it on the ground and I picked it up and started to mess with it. She then tried to pull the two doors open," We're stuck between floors. Don't look at me like that, in high-school I was an all-state squatter." She said then opened a box with the phone in it. " Listen up generation fail, it's your fearless yet love-able leader Principle Perry. I am stuck in the lift. I repeat I am stuck in the lift. Again, I Am Stuck In The Lift!" She shouted the last line. " Hey, I'm in here to. Repeat I'm in here to. Again, I'm in here to!" Leo said and then handed me to phone." Get Me Out Of Here Idiots! Repeat, You Are Dead When I Get Out! Again, Get Me Out Of Here Idiot And You Are All Dead When I Get Home!" I shouted still panicking. " I smell something burning." I said." Do you think there is a fire?" Leo asked. " If there is, it's either gonna melt the cables and we'll plummet three stories, or the fire will melt us and we'll plummet three stories!" She said and I got the feeling back in my stomach and I pressed against the wall again pulling my knees to my chest and my breath started to become uneven as the panic coursed through my body like water on a road, my heart beating faster as my mind kept thinking of possibilities of how we could die.

I heard a snap and we all screamed, my body filled with panic that felt like fire spreading inside my body and grabbed my knees closer to my body and closed my eyes waiting for the impact of the ground but didn't feel it. Keeping my eyes closed I tried to calm down as my brain raced with more ideas of how we could die, along with visions of what it would be like and look like. Panic blocked my senses as I tried my hardest not to faint, I opened my eyes only to close them again because of the weirdest sight ever. After some minutes most of my panic disappeared and I opened my eyes. " Don't worry, I know Adam, Bree, and Chase will get the three of us out of here." Leo said and I nodded." Must be nice to have friends who care about you so much, when I was your age I got picked on all the time. Isn't Terry a boy's name?" She said with a mocking laugh after.

"I'm just glad they never found out my middle name is 'Cherry'." She said and Leo and I laughed." Your full name is Terry Cherry Perry?" I asked." I know right, when I say it people think I'm ordering ice-cream." I smiled." Hello, my order is one Terry Cherry Perry." I said and she snapped at me." Shut it space-filler!" " If it makes you feel better, at my last school the mean kids called me Leo 'Doody'." Leo said causing me to laugh again along with Perry. "Ease up Cherry." He said. " I became a principle so I could make sure kids like me didn't get picked on. Now here I am using my power to pick on kids. I'm no better then those mean kids!" She said crying and I then wished I had kept my eyes closed. " I didn't mean you to see me like this!" She said and I buried my head in my legs again just so I didn't have to see that any longer.

The lift started to fall again and we screamed my panic coming back my body having the fiery filling again. Leo and Perry sat down and she took out a bar and offered Leo a tiny piece of it which he took and ate. " Who's gonna feed my cats?" She asked," I hope they don't eat mother. I hope she doesn't eat them!" I shook my head with slightly less panic. " I'm sorry for being so hard on you. You'r not such a bad kid." She said and Leo responded with," Thanks. You... are a tolerable middle-aged authority figure." I smiled and brought my head back up. " That's the nicest thing anyone's ever said to me." She said and Leo looked over towards me." You ok, Lizz?" He asked." Lizz?" I asked and he shrugged." Your name is to long, so I shortened it." I nodded," Ok.." /p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""You still didn't answer my question." He said." Sorry.. being stuck in a lift doesn't help panic. I'm just scared of falling... what if they don't save us?" I answered and he moved over and put one arm around me." They will save us. I know it, they have to." He said and I nodded, the lift started to move up and then the lift bell rang. Perry ran out, then Leo, and then I followed them still with Leo's arm around me. " What did I tell you two about being in the lift in a emergency!" Perry yelled. " That if you get stuck cats will eat your mum." I said and she then ran out. Seeing Leo's arm still around me I picked it up and moved it away then ran up to Chase hugging him. Leo ran up to us, and said," I owe you guys!" Adam nervously laughed," Actually, we're the ones to get you stuck in there.." He said.

I tightened my grip on Chase burning my head in his shoulder, tears falling slightly. " Then you will be hearing from my lawyers." He said and left followed by Adam and Bree. " Elizabeth, what's wrong?" Chase asked. " I thought that the lift would fall and we would all die." I murmured and he rubbed my back awkwardly. " Don't worry, your safe now." He said and I nodded. " Now come on, lets get back home." He said and I grabbed his hand and followed him out of the school and back home, blushing slightly.
