Okay mystery640, I haven't forgotten about you. I have been working on this for a while but none of the stories I came up with were satisfactory to me. It was hard to come up with some type of misunderstanding. Then I couldn't see Six spying on the couple. Rex spying is also a little weird seeing as it was his brother. I kinda came up with this story which is meh. I tried. I hope you like it.
I do not own.
Holiday stretched and picked up her coffee mug only to find it empty. Glaring at it she sighed. Maybe it was time for a break anyway. She got up from her desk and walked to the cafeteria. Along the way she passed by Caesar's workshop. Inside she heard the voices of Caesar and Beverly. Checking her watch she was about to walk in to ask why they were up so late when she froze at the next sentence.
"If Becca found out what we're going to do now she'd flip." Beverly said.
"Si." Caesar replied. "She's very… protective."
"Tell me about it." Beverly groaned. "I can't leave the building without being interrogated."
"She makes me give her an itinerary of our dates." Caesar said.
"Well, you're not going to do that this time." Beverly said firmly. Then she added in a playful voice. "I've never done it before. This will be my first time."
"I've done it a few times before." Caesar replied. "I'll show you everything."
"It'll be awesome." She giggled.
"You'll never be the same." Caesar agreed.
Holiday stood stunned. Then as she heard footsteps coming toward the door, she scrambled around the corner to hide. The workshop door slid opened. Beverly and Caesar walked out talking in hushed tones. When they disappeared down the hall, Holiday emerged from her hiding spot with a grim look on her face.

"Rex, wake up." Holiday shook the boy.
"Ugh, five more minutes mom." He muttered.
"Rex!" She snapped.
Rex snorted awake. "Huh, what? Doc? What's up?" He yawned.
"I need you go after your brother and Beverly." She started pulling him up.
"What? Why?" Rex asked with confusion.
"I need you to make sure that they don't do anything that they'd regret." Holiday said as she pushed him to the door.
"Like what?" Rex asked as he grabbed the sides of the door. "And can I at least get dressed first. I'm still in my jammies."
"Oh right, sorry, Rex." Holiday apologized. She stopped pushing so that Rex could grab his pants and jacket. He looked at her.
"Some privacy?"
"Sure." Holiday turned red as she stepped outside.
"Why am I doing this and not Six?" Rex wondered.
"Six is away right now." Holiday replied.
"I don't know about spying on my brother. I mean they are big, right? They can make their own decisions, right?" Rex came out dressed.
"Not when those decisions are life altering." Holiday growled. "Or involves Beverly."
Rex sighed. "So what do you want me to do?"

Rex was carefully following behind Caesar's Research pod. He yawned since he was still tired. His lids grew droopy as he trailed behind them.
"Rex! Status report." Rex was jolted awake by his ear piece.
"I'm up!" He exclaimed.
"That's good." Holiday responded. "Now what are they doing?"
"They've just been flying for hours." Rex yawned again. "I don't think they're doing anything."
"Just keep watching." Holiday insisted.
"Why am I doing this again?" Rex demanded.
"Because if you don't want White Knight knowing who photoshopped his head onto that dog video that went viral last week, you better keep going." Holiday said.
"I thought blackmail was beneath you." Rex complained.
"Not when it comes to my sister." Holiday said before signing off.
"Ugh, I don't know what she thinks they're going to do, or how I'm going to stop it…" Rex grumbled to himself. He was so absorbed in his grousing that he didn't notice that the pod and plowed into it. There was a distinct "dong" sound before Rex slid to the ground.
"What was that?" Beverly asked.
"I don't know." Caesar shrugged. "Maybe a bird."
They exited the ship.
"This is beautiful." Beverly looked out into the starlit water.
"Yes, and it's about to get more beautiful." Caesar put a shoe box sized container on the ground. Pressing a button the box expanded until it became a small sail boat.
"It's convenient and saves space." Beverly observed. "Nice."
"Now we push it out into the water and I'll show you how to do a little night sailing." Caesar grabbed one side of the boat and began pushing it.
"That's it? You're going sailing?" Rex yelped as he got up from the ground.
Beverly gave a surprised scream. Caesar jumped and shot a beam from his wrist that Rex dodged.
"Hey, Take it easy, bro." Rex yelped.
"Rex! What are you doing here?" Beverly gasped. "You nearly gave me a heart attack."
"Well, Doc…" Rex started.
"Wait a minute… Becca sent you to spy on us?" Beverly's eyes narrowed. "What did she think was going to happen?"
"I don't know. She overheard you saying something and she went off the deep end." Rex got up and brushed himself off.
"Well, for her information, Caesar was going to teach me how to sail!" Beverly said in a huff.
"Ugh, I'll let her know." Rex formed his Boogie Pack and flew off.

The next morning Holiday walked out of her room to come face to face with an annoyed little sister.
"Oh, hi, sis." Holiday said sheepishly.
"You know eavesdropping on conversations isn't very nice." She said with her arms crossed.
Holiday sighed. "I know. It wasn't on purpose. You were just…loud."
"Yeah, I told Caesar he needs to sound proof his lab." Beverly blew her bangs away from her eyes.
"I'm sorry, Beverly. I should have known you wouldn't do anything…" Holiday stopped when Beverly held up her hand.
"I know you want to protect me." She said. "But at some point I have to make my own decisions and face my own consequences, right?"
"Right." Holiday agreed reluctantly.
"I'm sure I'm going to make tons of mistakes." Beverly said. "But they're mine to make and mine to deal with."
"Well, I was hoping to save you from that." She said sadly.
"Maybe some but not all." Beverly told her. "But I know I can always count on a big sister to stand by me whenever I need her."
"Just try and stop me." Rebecca smiled.
They hugged.
"But please butt out of my love life." Beverly begged.
"Maybe." Rebecca said.
"Becca!" Beverly protested but then saw her sister's smirk. She gave her sister a lighthearted push.
"How about I take you out for custard?" Rebecca suggested.
"Oh, Caesar's taking me to see a movie." Beverly replied.
"Which one? Where? What time?" Rebecca began asking in rapid succession.
"Becca, don't start that again…" Beverly groaned.
The sisters playfully argued all the way down the hall.
Hey, KakaAnko I know your birthday is coming up. Be on the look out for something. Hehe.
