Back from Florida! It rained up until the last day! Woo! Not really, but I managed a decent tan ^.^ Next chapter my lovely readers :DD

"Come on; let's go do something as a family to celebrate the start of summer!" Cindy smiled at my dad. I couldn't believe it, I understand him having a girlfriend, but having her move in? It just didn't feel right. Not that Cindy was a bad person; she was nice. Being honest she reminded me of Tasha somewhat, she was loud occasionally, in your face sometimes but seemed to genuinely care. "What did you have in mind babe?" I tried not to gag. Seriously, 'babe' ? Ugh this is just gross… Of course it'd be nice to get of the house, ever since the whole Spike reappearance and school ending Mr. Davenport had Adam, Bree and Chase on testing extreme. I could call Leo, but he'd want to watch the bionic training. "I was thinking the beach. We can take road trip and spend a few days there!" "Yeah, that could be fun. We can leave tomorrow morning, I have Friday off anyway." My dad got up off the couch and grabbed a phone "Pizza?" He asked. We nodded as he wandered off to order. "So you haven't talked much about your friends." Cindy noted looking at me. "They've been busy." I said. "I haven't even met them yet, come on let me see a picture." She smiled again pointing at my phone. Shrugging I unlocked it and pulled up a group picture of the four of them.

Cindy said "Oh he's cute, you should go after him." She winked, I didn't know whether she was talking about Chase or Adam but I said anyway "I'm dating him." Her eyes got big as she pointed to Adam "Nice." Why does everyone assume I'm dating the jock? "Actually Cindy, I'm dating Chase, his brother." I pointed to him. "He's cute in a puppy way." I laughed a little at Cindy's reference. Just because Chase wasn't over six foot didn't mean he wasn't in shape. The boy had muscle, which is why I never understood why he was always saying I was the athletic one. "Why haven't I heard your dad say you have a boyfriend?" "I've told him I'm going out with someone, he tends to block out the idea of his daughter dating I think." Or he just chooses to ignore me, but you know that works too I thought.

"Ahh, well as long as you two aren't doing anything you shouldn't-" I cut her off "Oh god no, we're not, I'd never, yeah just no." I said rapidly and she laughed "Just checking. Are you excited to go to the beach?" "Extremely." I hadn't been since I was maybe thirteen; my dad was being my dad every time I had asked.

The next morning I was the first one down stairs with my bag. I had slipped shorts and t-shirt over my bikini. Finding left over pizza I put in the microwave and heated it up. My phone buzzed in my pocket.

From Chase:

Hey I won't be able to talk today or tomorrow… sorry

Do I get to ask why?

We're going on a "technology free" weekend trip

I wish you luck with that young bionic one.

Haha very funny. We'll see a movie soon, sound good?

Yup-a-roo

I gotta go, talk to you and dorkish self later ;)

I resent that! Bye! :3

I sighed, even though I wouldn't be home this weekend either, it was disappointing to know that I wouldn't get to see Chase. It's been almost a month since we've hung out or been on a date that lasted more than an hour.

Sometime around eleven, my dad and Cindy were ready to go. Hopping into the truck my dad said turning on the radio "I got us a small beach house for the weekend." "Really?" I asked surprised. "Yeah, Cindy found it." Of course, my dad wouldn't ever consider that idea without her. He'd be too cheap otherwise I though grouchily. My dad's radio station was classic rock, I didn't hate it, I just didn't want to listen to it. I pulled headphones out of my purse and plugged them in my phone. About an hour later we were at the beach.

Putting on sunglasses I paused thinking I saw something flash behind me. Turning around I saw Bree looking at necklaces. "Bree? That you?" She turned around and grinned "Oh my god! You're here too!" She squealed walking to me (which looked like normal person running practically) and then hugging me. "This is so cool I haven't seen you in forever!" "I know, you guys have been busy huh?" I said grinning. "Yeah totally, Davenport has us going non-stop with testing." "Scarlett! Oh there you are." Cindy came behind me. "You're Bree correct?" Cindy asked. "Yes ma'am." Bree said smiling in confusion. "I'm Cindy." Bree eyes showed recognition "Oh hi Cindy." "Well I'll let you girls ogle at boys on the beach." With a wink Cindy was gone. "So let's go!" Bree grabbed me and we darted through the boardwalk.

It was kind of funny, Bree and I must have been hit on four or five times. It was flattering but awkward because some of them didn't seem to care that we had boyfriends. "I don't see your prince charming, but I can be him if you'd like." Some guys name Josh said to me. "Yeah, again boyfriend. So buh-bye." I rolled my eyes. "Well if you ever change your mind, I work here all year long." He shrugged before handing me a coupon to the surf store with a number on it.

Bree giggled as we left "I've never seen so many cute guys want to go out with either of us." "I know but it's kinda annoying after you say no like twice." "Yeah, but at least you know you're hot that way." "Please like we need guys asking us out to know we're hot." I winked before pressing my tongue to finger and making a 'SSS' sound when I touched my arm. We laughed and kept walking.

"Hey I'm going to go get a drink I'll be right back." I said heading off. "Ok, I'm going to go find Leo meet you back here in a few!" She called before running. When I came from the insanely long line Bree and Leo we're watching Chase do the robot. Oh Chase, you're just such an awkward dancer… I thought shaking my head. I had put my sunglasses back on and started over to them when someone fell into me. "Oh no my ice cream! And uh sorry." I looked up and saw Adam holding a huge tray of ice creams and one partly smashed one. The rest of it landed on me. "It's fine." Leo had turned around and saw and immediately ran over. It wasn't too obvious but Leo was checking me out from above. I tried so hard not smack him. "I am so sorry about my brother, here let me you help you up pretty lady." He couldn't see my eyes but my eyebrows were raised. Do I seriously look that different with my shades? I wanted to laugh, still taking Leo's hand he struggled to pull me up. Bree had her hand over her mouth and Chase rolled his eyes. "Here let me help you, and sorry for both of them." Now taking Chase's hand I couldn't hold back that laughter. "How nice of my boyfriend to recognize me." I said sarcastically. His eye showed his extreme confusion then looked surprised "Scarlett?" I took the shades off and laughed seeing an embarrassed Leo and laughing Adam and Bree. "Uh well this is awkward." Chase said.

I smiled and said "So who wants to go swimming?" Leo's eyes had horror "Oh no! There isn't anyone on the stupid R.V.!" "What?" I asked but Bree already grabbed my hand we all five of us were running through the crowds to god knows where. We ended up on the other side of some sand dunes. "And we're here because?" I said looking at the pretty but empty space of sand. "Where's the mobile lab?" Bree asked looking around before adding "It was parked right here!" "It's gone?" Leo exclaimed. Chase said "Ok, uh alright nobody panic." Adam screamed holding his head with one hand. "Sorry… brain freeze." We all glared at him and I finally asked "So what's not to panic about exactly?"

"There's a solar flare heading towards earth that is going to melt a giant whole into it and the rocket to send gas to deter it was on the R.V." Bree said. "Hey, where's the R.V." Adam as if the last two minutes didn't even happened. We all rolled our eyes. Count on Adam to be oblivious. All of us sitting down Bree said "How could the mobile lab just disappear?" "Maybe it got tired of waiting and it split like we did." Adam suggested. I shook my head "Because inanimate objects just wander off." "They can!" Adam insisted. "We have to tell Mr. Davenport." Bree sighed. Chase made a face "Oh yeah, what are we going to tell him 'Hey remember that really easy mission where all we had to was sit around and wait? Well guess what we totally blew it and the world is toast. Oopsie!" "We'll find the lab." I said. "Sure and Adam will realize that it didn't just go off on its own." Chase said. "It can happen!" Adam threw his hands up.

A siren went off and a voice yelled "Freeze!" We all saw a cop on a scooter, not an electric scooter, a Razor scooter… "Officer, I'd like to report a crime. Someone stole our R.V. from this spot and it's super critical that we-" "Cool your jets spanky, I had it towed." Adam's eyes got big "What? Why?" "Because your car alarm was going on for like an hour dude. Plus I wanted to see that tow truck pull that huge thing away." "Wait car alarm?" Chase questioned. "If want your R.V. back you're gonna have to cough up two hundred clams." "Ugh ok, but does it have to be clams because personally I'm more of a shrimp guys." Adam said. Leo smacked Adam's head. Well more like he jumped up and barely touched his head but same idea. The cop started back on his sad attempt to scooter away and look cool.

Chase's face was showing the panic "Guys, that car alarm was the alert signal telling us to launch the rocket." "Of course it was." I said. He made another face at me. Leo said "Wait so that means we have under an hour to get two hundred dollars, get the mobile lab back, stop the solar flare and wrestle a shark?" "Wrestle a shark?" I said staring at him. "I want to use their bionics for something useful and fun today." "Yes, because them stopping a solar that will melt our faces off isn't useful." "Don't crush my dreams!" Leo said to me. "We need to tell Mr. Davenport, he can give us money to get the R.V. back." Bree said impatiently. "No!" Chase started "We can still fix this, I know how we can get the money fast." "Chase get back here no one is going to pay watch you wrestle a shark!" Bree yelled. Turning to me she said "No, you don't count." "Psh, I wasn't going to say I'd pay to watch him." "Yes you were, now let's go before they mess up even more."

As fast as we could go we went back to center of the boardwalk. Leo put his hands out "Ladies and gentlemen, step right up and see the one and only legendary boardwalk freak show!" "Side show!" Chase said trying to be dignified. He started off with Adam and had him be the strong man. It was pretty cool he bent a huge steel pipe into a bunny and gave it to a little girl. Of course she couldn't hold it but still cool. Bree used her super speed to trick people into thinking she had put and taken stuff from others. And then when it was Chase's turn he started spouting off random facts, the crowd started to leave really fast. Leo stepped in and held out the hat. "Pay to help this poor girl!" He said pushing me to the middle. "What are you doing!" I hissed. People paused and turned around "This beautiful and charming young lady is dating this awkward nerd!" "Hey!" Chase said. Hands were tossing in dollars. "I prefer the term intelligent and a sophisticated mind." "Yeah, yeah no one cares nerd boy." Leo said snatching more money.

The annoying siren sound happened again the police officer was back. "Great job little man." "Thank you." Chase beamed. "I was talking to him, you totally bombed bro." "Oh…" "Now unless you guys want take a walk on long board of hurt, you better show your performance permits, like right now." "We don't have permits! We're busted!" Adam said. Chase rolled his eyes "Relax, he's wearing flip flops and his squad car had handle bars. He's not even a real cop!"

And this how we ended up behind bars. "Yet he has a real jail." Chase said then added "Ok there's only thing left for us to do, we have to get in touch with Mr. Davenport fast." "I'll just call him." Adam said before yelling "Davenport!" Shockingly Mr. Davenport was brought in the room. "I can't believe that worked!" Adam said giddy. Mr. Davenport looked at out weird-o cop "I did not steal anything, that woman committed assault with a deadly floaty!" When they put in the cell he screamed. "Long story short Big D, boxed mission, world is doomed, solar flare is a comin'. Oopsies." "You know an hour ago I was a little freaked out because I didn't know what happening. Now I think I prefer the mystery!" Then he saw me "Oh god, you guys dragged her into this too!" "In our defense-" Leo started then said "Ok we have no defense…" "What are we going to do?" Mr. Davenport yelled."

Mr. Davenport considered making a phone out gum, a nine volt battery and a bobby pin which Chase had oddly, two dimes and a random string I found on the floor. The officer ran out when his phone rang and found out his scooter was being towed. More like stolen by a toddler. I smiled at my own joke. Once he was gone Adam accidently broke the whole cell door opening it. We took our chance and ran. Quickly getting into the R.V. once we found it everything was ruined. "This is bad, this really bad." Chase said. Mr. Davenport said "I'll says two hundred dollar for the towing, two hundred dollars for disorderly conduct and one hundred dollars for stealing a cell phone!" "Not the problem right now Big D!" Leo said. "It's ok you guys have done this in two minutes-" "Sixty seconds until solar flare." The automated voice called. "And you have half of that. Ok, Adam get the rocket, Leo find the launch keys, Bree run the computer, Chase you're going to have to help me figure out the launch vectors and Scarlett… uh just stand there and look pretty." "Really!" I said walking to opposite side.

Chase began calling out launch codes and Bree was typing them in faster than I could even see. Right as Adam got the rocket up right Leo found the keys and Mr. Davenport told him the other key hole was right next to me. The five seconds were counting down and Leo tossed me the key. Shoving it in the hole I turned it and the rocket blasted off. "Yes!" We all smiled with sighs of relief.

I high fived Bree and Chase hugged me. "Another mission completed with the help of you and Leo." Chase grinned. "Happy to be of service." I bowed. Taking my hand Chase and I followed the others to where Tasha was. "You guys ready to leave, oh hi Scarlett." "Hi Tasha." "Can we have a few more minutes, please!" Leo begged after knowing no one really got their beach day. "Fine thirty minutes and we're gone." Cheering all of us ran full speed to the beach. "Last on there is blown up by a solar flare!" Bree said taking off. I started sprinting pushing myself while laughing being chased after by the boys. It was going to be a fun thirty minutes.
