So today started of as a normal.
I woke up, took a shower, got dressed. did my hair and make-up and texted my friend Cassidy all morning. My dad was still away on buisness and I had nothing do this weekend. I thought of calling Bree but I spend way to much time with them anyway...that is until Leo called me in a rush.
"Leo calm down. Now what happened?" I asked.
"Davenport left us home alone to go to Austrailia and all we did was go to sleep. Now Adam, Bree and Chase are all goofed up. Chase can only see pixel, Bree sped off somewhere and Adam can only talk backwards. I need your help pronto!" He begged and I agreed to help him out.
"Okay, okay, fine. But you so owe me for this Leo." I hung up and walked to the Davenports house as quickly as I could. Leo answered the door and sighed.
"Thank god you're here. I'm freaking out!"
When we got down to the lab Adam was trying to help Chase away from the window "Oh my. This is a problem. Davenport is going to kill you when he finds out."
"Katie? Katie is that you?" Chase asked and tried to navagate his way over to me.
I walked over and held is hand "Yes Chase. I'm right here." and I guided him all the way to the metal island in the middle of the lab so he could have something to lean on.
Suddenly this loud noise filled the room "What the heck is that?" Leo asked.
"Well it's either Davenport's radon gas alarm or it's his emergency phone. And being that none of us have passed out yet...it's his emergency phone!" Chase freaked out and I had to wrap my arms around his waist to clam him back down.
Adam went over to it and tried to answer but Leo stopped him and answered "Davenport Industries home of the little man's big dreams. Leo speaking, how may I help you?"
I didn't get to hear what the other person was saying but I heard everything Leo said. Some of it was quite funny actually. It went something like this:
"Nothing. Watching cartoons, eating cereal. Ya know, Saturday morning things."
Adam got excited "Cartoons! Watch wanna I!" Chase and I covered his mouth and shushed him to be quiet.
"Uh no it's the T.V. I'm watching Captain Backwards. He saves the day in the beginning and does all the boring stuff at the end. It's a terrible show. I don't know why I watch it." Leo explained. Chase and Adam were pushing against one another trying to listen in.
"Uh no. You know girls. She's knee deep in make-up and unicorns. What am I saying." Leo whispered the last part and I raised an eyebrow at his comment. Unicorns? Really?
"Oh! You mean the night light?" Leo unplugged the machine "No! No I did not. I should go. Tell my mommy I love her."
Suddenly I could hear Tasha yelling "Leo! We're coming home right now!"
We're doomed.
Leo hung up "They're coming home right now."
"What?" Adam exclaimed.
"Tell my mommy I love her?" Chase asked.
"I'm sorry. When I freak out I talk baby talk. Now if you'll excuse me I'm gonna go upstairs to take a night night with my binky."
When Leo was gone I spoke up "We are so doomed."
"Why are you here anyway Katie? Not that I don't love seeing my girlfriend but as of this moment I can't."
"Leo called in a panic and asked me to come over and help you situation you got going on. Plus I had nothing better to do on a Saturday afternoon."
Leo came back down in the lab and Chase shook his shoulders "Leo, how could you turn on the L.E.M.P! It's a giant glitch machine. That's what goofed us all up."
"Ooohhhh. So this is one of those things that Davenport talks about we're not suppose to touch?" Chase and Adam nodded and Leo bobbed his head "Good to know. Good to know..."
"Look, we have to fix this before they get home. I'll locate Bree's signal and send her the coordinates so she can find her way back." Chase said finding his way over to the control panels.
"I thought you couldn't see."
Chase scoffed "Oh Leo, genious has no boudaries."
"Well, it's good to see your lack of sight hasn't taken away your sense of superiority." Leo crossed his arms and Chase continued typing away. The screen above flashed a signal received sign "Oh good it's flashing 'Signal Recieved". But what are we going to do about you guys?"
"Well Mr. Davenport did install an emergency video file on my internal hard drive. But we're only suppose to watch it in an emergency." Chase replied. He was facing away from us so I couldn't see his face.
"Oh up wake. Emercency it is this!" Adam said backwards and he inserted Chase's weird finger flash drive into it slot on the control panel.
Mr. Davenport's face appeared on the screen. I held onto Chase other hand to let him know I was still near him "So if you're watching this I must have gone to that big hard drive in the sky. How could this have happened?! I was so young! Look at me! I was so beautiful and talented, smart. This is aweful!"
"Right about now I'm sorta glad I can't see this." was Chase's response.
"Is that really what he wore to say his final farewell? Slap on a suit dude. You're on a Stairway to Heaven." was Leo's response.
Mine was an eye roll.
"No you're probably in crisis so first things first. If you didn't have me cryogenically frozen the chuck me in the fridge for now it will have to do."
"Don't you let him near my cold cuts." Leo pointed at Adam and I tried to hide my smile.
Mr. Davenport went on "Oh and uh I would like you to play my super funeral mix at my service. Also money is no object so I would like a super huge blow-out. Something as befitting as awesome a man I...was." Enter crying here. "I'm sorry you guys must miss me so much."
"Is there a fast foreword?" Leo asked.
"This is getting sadder by the minute." I replied.
Chase flipped through it "Yup there are different chapters."
"Okay searching, searching, searching, stop! There it is! 'Someone Didn't LISTEN and Turned on the LEMP'." Leo said.
"Well that's eerily specific."
"Get into the middle capsule with bare feet and press your hands against the sides of the cylinder. This connects a circuit and initializes a reboot of all the damage." Davenport explained.
"Okay once I reset my settings, we can get things back to normal before Tasha and Davenport come home. And they'll never know how completley you messed up." I think Chase meant to point his finger at Leo but missed him by a couple of inches. Adam pulled Chase by the shoulders and guided him into his capsule. Chase closed his eyes and we all heard a humming sound. Chase fell out.
"So?"
"Where am I? Who are you people?"
"Oh great!"
"Ahh just kidding. You're next." Chase said pointing at Adam.
"Luck me wish."
Leo pushed Adam away and he began taking off his shoes. Chase pulled Leo and I both back "Okay if he takes his shoes off, we might want to take a step back."
Adam proceeded to do the same thing "Whoo! I think I'm okay. Wait, my voice isn't coming out of my butt is it?"
I giggled "And he's back."
About an hour later, I helped the boys clean up the house while Chase tracked Bree on the computer "Okay, everything's cleaned up. Now all we need is Bree."
"No problem. I'm tracking her right now. According to this she should be here any minute."
The door suddenly opened and closed as Bree ran in "That took forever! My phone died and I had to buy a map. A paper map! Uh I mean do you know how hard it is to fold this thing up?"
"A map? Didn't you get the coordinates I sent you?"
"What coordinates?" Bree asked.
Suddenly the beeping got closer "Wait if Bree's here then what are you tracking?"
"I don't know. Probably just a bird."
I walked behind the couch over to Bree. Suddenly something came flying in through the window and I jumped nearly a foor behind Chase "Or not."
"Ya think?!"
"Guys this is one of Mr. Davenport's drones. I must have sent it the coordinates instead of Bree."
"Oh yeah. A giant flying piece of metal and a teenage girl. I can see how you can get that messed up!" Leo said. Like he's one to talk.
"I messed it up because my vision was impared by you. Mr. Touchy Stuffy Mommy Misser."
Leo held his hand up childly "Chase, let's not play the blame game."
"Guys, this drone controls all of Mr. Davenport's GPS technology including the plane he's flying on right now."
"What? Why would he keep the command center for all of his technology flying around in the sky?"
"Probably because you're down here." Chase quipped back.
I helped Leo and Bree pick up all the broken glass off the floor while Chase fixed the drone "And the drone is fixed."
"Yeah Chase hop in." Adam joked "Ha. It's a joke because you're so tiny. Adam kept laughing.
"Yet my brain is still twice the size of yours."
Adam tried to find a comeback but was defeated sadly.
"What about the window?" Bree noticed.
"We'll worry about that later. Let's focus on getting Adam and the drone outside so we can launch it off the roof and out into the sky."
Leo opened the door and walked out but then quickly ran back in and shut the door "They're walking up the driveway! They're walking up the driveway!"
Adam ran out of the room with the drone and Tasha and Davenport walked in "You are on the list cupcake!" Eddy said.
"Okay!" Tasha yelled and Eddy shut off.
"Hey what do you know. The house is in one piece." Davenport noticed .
Leo opened his arms and walked over to his mom "Welcome home mommy."
"Okay, what are you guys up to?" Tasha asked. Her eyes were narrowed as she looked at each one of us.
"You know this looks like a family matter. So I'm just gonna go...some place else." and I booked it.
Adam, Bree, Chase and Leo can be mad all they want for me ditching but I was not going to stay to find out their fate.
Later that night I called Bree and asked her what happened after I left.
"Davenport found out about what happened and we got grounded. I don't know for how long though."
"That sucks. Sorry about taking off on you guys like that but I didn't want to stay and be yelled at." I told her.
"Yeah I know. Chase was wondering where you ran off too. He's all pouty over here." Bree chuckled and I hear Chase in the background.
"I didn't get to kiss her!"
"Bree give Chase the phone. I wanna talk to him."
"Chase quit your pouting. Katie wants to talk to you." Bree said as her voice got farther away.
"Yeah babe?"
"I love you Chase."
"I love you too Katie. Will I see you later on this weekend?" he asked.
"Aren't you guys grounded?"
And so continued are conversation about everything and nothing for another two hours. I think I fell asleep while talking to him. Oh well.
AN: Suckish ending. Sorry for that.
