TURBO TEEN:

THE NEW ADVENTURES

"The Beginning"

Part Four

It is the next morning, Dr. Leo drives his gray truck up to the lab and goes in, Dr. Chase is already there.

"Good morning, Vince, how are you feeling this morning?" Dr. Chase asks.

"Just fine, Dr. Chase, thanks for asking. So what did I miss yesterday?" Leo asks.

"We told Bret and Michelle about the Turbo Thrust, they'll hopefully come by today and run the test track." Chase replies.

"Oh ok, that's good news." Dr. Leo replies.

"Yes, it is, now let's get to work. We have to be prepared for when those two show up." Chase states.

Dr. Leo nods and they start working and preparing for later that afternoon.

About an hour later at the Matthews' house, Bret wakes up for school, and gets dressed. He leaves the house and walks to school, he meets Pattie, Alex, and Michelle outside the school.

"Hey, guys." Bret calls as he nears.

"Morning, Bret." Michelle replies.

"Hi Bret." Pattie says.

"What's up?" Alex asks.

"How is everyone?" Bret asks.

"Why are you in such a good mood this morning?" Pattie asks with a smile.

Bret shrugs, "I don't know, just am." he replies.

"Come on, let's get inside we're going to be late for class." Michelle states.

"Right, let's go." Bret says.

School goes ok for both, they remain normal for about half the school time. But during volleyball practice, Michelle is getting hot and sweaty from playing.

"Good shot, Michelle!" one of the players exclaim.

"Thanks, Leslie." Michelle replies.

As Michelle gets ready to hit another ball, her hands become wheels, she immediately notices this.

"Oh, no, not now. I need to get out of here." she whispers to herself.

She hides her hands and goes up to her coach.

"Coach, may I be dismissed? I need to go and call to see if Allison is alright." Michelle says.

"I thought you said your sister was at school?" the coach asks.

"Uh, she didn't go after all, she felt sick this morning." Michelle replies as she thinks quickly.

There is urgency in Michelle's voice adn it is all she can do to prevent herself from changing.

"Very well, but I expect you to stay the whole period tomorrow." The coach states.

"Yes, ma'me." Michelle replies.

Michelle hurries out and bumps into Alex.

"Oh, hey Michelle. What's up?" Alex asks.

"Alex, you got to help me!" she says.

"What's wrong?" Alex asks with a very concerned look.

"This is what's wrong!" Michelle replies as she takes her wheels from behind her back.

"Great, come on, quickly." Alex replies.

Alex sees that is about to change completely, and starts to lead her somewhere whre no one will hopefully see her change into a convertible.

"Don't change, Michelle, I don't think I can move you if you did." Alex says.

"I'm trying not to, it's very hard to fight it." Michelle replies in a strained voice.

"I can imagine." Alex comments.

He soon gets her outside and quickly leads her to the parking lot. He looks around, and gestures for her to get between two cars where she is hidden while he keeps watch.

"No one will see you here." Alex states.

"Thanks, Alex, I appreciate it." Michelle replies.

She breathes a sigh of relief, and suddenly changes all the way into a convertible.

"So now what do I do?" Summer asks.

"I guess miss school for the rest of the day. I'll tell your teachers that you had to leave, ok?" Alex replies.

"Thanks, Alex. I would greaty appreciate that." Summer replies.

"You're welcome, Summer." Alex says.

Alex leaves and Summer stays there all by herself, that is until about 2:45 PM.

Bret, Pattie, and Alex come out of their last class when Rick spots Bret.

"Hey, Bret, what happened to you the other night? Got chicken and left the race?" Rick asks.

"Maybe I did, maybe I didn't. Why is it any of your business Rick?" Bret replies.

"Michael said he spotted your old junker cruising the city yesterday. His rules were if you showed that junker around the city again he was going to pummel you." Rick states.

"I'm so scared, Rick. Go threaten a bug or something." Bret says.

Bret pushes past Rick, but Rick grabs him by the shirt collar and jerks him backward. Bret doesn't like this and jerks loose of him.

"Don't make me have to get tough, Rick." Bret growls.

"You? Get tough? This I have to see." Rick laughs.

Bret glares at Rick, "Bring it on, Rick." he says.

Rick takes a step backward, "No, I think I will save you for Michael's tender mercies." he replies.

Rick turns and leaves, but before he gets any further, Bret's older sister, Kris shows up and pushes him backward.

"Hi there, Rick, you picking on my little brother again?" she asks.

"N..no, I wasn't picking on him, Kris, honest." Rick stammers, he is totally afraid of Kris since she is about twice as strong as he will ever be.

"I don't think you're telling me the truth, Rick. How about I just kick your butt right here?" Kris replies.

Rick blanches, "I'd rather not fight you." he replies.

Kris pushes him backward again, this gets Bret's attention and he walks up next to kris.

"Kris, fight him later, comeon he isn't worth your energy." he states.

"Right, Bret, would you rather him pick on you or me beat him up?" Kris asks.

"Who's going to beat up who?" a voice asks.

Kris looks up and smiles when she sees Michael standing no more ten feet away.

"So the mouse has crawled out of his hole?" Kris asks tauntingly.

Michael glares harshly at Kris, "Bring it on, Ms. Black Belt, I am ready to taek you on." he replies.

"Why would I waste my talent on a worm like you?" Kris asks dismissively.

This makes Michael mad, but before he can attack Kris, Bret stops him.

"It's me you want, Michael, leave my older sister out of this." he says.

"So the chicken shows up at last? What happened, Bret, was afraid you might lost?" Michael taunts.

"If it is any of your business, I wrecked my car." Bret replies.

"That's funny, I saw it cruising the town yesterday, and your two loser friends were in it." Michael states.

"No one makes fun of my friends and gets away with it." Bret says.

Bret glares at Michael and throws a punch, Michael blocks and kicks Bret's feet out from under him. This knocks Bret's breath out, and he lays there for a moment catching his breath. He gets to his feet and falling back on waht Kris has taught him, upper cuts Michael. As they are fighting, Bret's temperature begins to rise, Pattie and Alex notice this.

"Kris, go stop them." Pattie says.

Kris stops in and pushes the two combatants apart.

"That's quite enough of that, now break it up before the prinicipal arrives." she says.

Bret nods and backs off, Michael reluctantly backs off and flees.

"Come on, baby brother,let's leave." Kris states as she turns to leave with Bret walking alongside of her.

Bret then notices that his hands have changed, as has Kris.

"What's happening to you?" Kris asks out of fear and concern.

"I'll explain outside. Pattie, Alex, help me please." Bret replies.

"Ok, Bret." Pattie says.

Pattie and Alex both help Bret outside, where he changes into Turbo Teen. Kris just stands there gaping, she regains her composure quickly.

"Baby brother, why did you just become a car? Who did this to you?" Kris asks.

"Easy there, Kris, I'l explain to you later. Come on, I'm supposed to be at Chase Labs." Turbo replies.

"This I have to hear." Kris states.

"Where's Michelle?" Turbo asks.

"Oh, she got hot also." Alex replies.

"Oh ok, guess I have to drive us over there then. Get in and I'll drive you there too, Kris." Turbo says.

Kris stands there a minute longer, like deciding whether she is dreaming or not, and then gets in. She sits in her brother's front passenger seat, Pattis in in the backseat, Alex is in the driver's seat. Turbo drives them over to the other parking lot where they spot Summer right where Alex had left her earlier.

"Hi Summer." Turbo greets.

"Hi Turbo." Summer replies.

"Let me guess, Summer is Michelle, right?" Kris asks.

"Right." Turbo replies.

Kris gets out and approaches Summer.

"Hi Michelle." she says.

"Hello Kris, how are you doing?" Summer asks.

"Fine considering my baby brother and best friend are cars." Kris replies.

"Yeah, this is incredible isn't it?" Summer asks.

"More like shocking." Kris replies as she directs her comment at Turbo.

"I guess I should have told you before you found out on your own." Turbo comments.

"That owuld have been wise, little brother." Kris replies.

"Sorry, Kris." Turbo apologizes.

"It's ok, bro, I'll live with it. Besides if I ever need a ride somewhere I'll change you on purpose then you can drive me wherever. Hmm, I wonder if Ty wants to go on a date somewhere." she says and looks down at Turbo in thought.

"Forget it, I'm not about to be your personal limosine." Turbo refuses.

Kris smiles, "I was kidding, get a sense of humor, Turbo." she replies.

"You sounded so serious." Turbo comments.

"You know better than that, I would never use you little brother." Kris replies and kneels down in front of him, she lightly tickles his hood with her hand for a minute.

Turbo is silent for a moment, as he is thinking that over.

"I know, coem on, let's got the lab, gang." Turbo replies.

Kris gets to her feet and gets into Turbo's driver's seat, Pattie takes his passenger seat, as Alex goes with Summer. The friends then head out to Chase Labs
