Hey guys! :D How ya' doing? I finally got this one written, so I hope that you enjoy! Ya' know, when I first started this story, I was originally to make it a one-shot, and just have them abandon Chase in the hallway, then go on a mission where there's a collapsing building, Chase shoves them out, and either dies or is severely injured. Then they discuss it. The end.
And now...we haven't even reached the climax of the story! So, yeah. Fun fact. Anyway, the soundtrack would be "Just A Dream" by Sam Tsui and Christima Grimmie, which is the cover of Nelly's version. The words don't really make sense, but it's kind of the right sort of feel. *shrugs* Hope you like! :) Oh, and I've also never been to Disney Land, so if I got something wrong, please let me know! :D
Here are the replies to the reviews! :)
Anonlabratslover: I hope you like this, and thanks for the reviews! :D
Glittercat33: Exactly! ;)
Brentinator: Don't worry, Douglas is going to do his best! ;D
Pink-Libra-Girl: Thank you so much! Your poor cat! Lol. I absolutely adore Simple Plan! I love the song "Me Against The World"! That's so cool that you like them, too! :D I hope you like this one, also; even though it's ridiculously short. ;P

Bree smiled as she walked down a cement pathway in Disney Land, her flip flops making a 'slosh' sound every time she took a step. Her hair wasn't much better as it wetly cascaded down the side of her face, causing her to have to keep pulling it away.
The sounds of disgust from behind her made her laugh brightly and turn around to face her family who were all still climbing down from the ride.
Leo, Tasha, and Adam were about the only other ones who actually had a smile on their faces. Chase groaned dramatically as he wrung out his hands, water flying everywhere.
"Tell me again how you got me to ride that stupid ride?" Chase asked as he smoothed his hair back that was currently covering his whole face; no longer spiky. For a moment, she couldn't help but believe how much he looked like his younger self without his hair being spiky. She smiled and threw out her arms, gesturing towards the ride, to make a point.
"Because 'Splash Mountain' is the best ride here!" She exclaimed and laughed again as Chase just shook his head and muttered something under his breath as he continued to wring water out of his shirt.
"I have to agree with Chase on this one, Bree." Donald added.
"I think that this was fun!" Tasha said, nodding her head slightly as a hint for the others to join in.
"It was great!" Bree smirked as Leo added his thoughts to it, and how Donald and Chase reacted exasperatedly.
"No way." Chase said and Bree mock-pouted.
"That's just because you're a fun killer," She teased and sent a smirk in Chase's direction as everyone agreed. Chase glared, and Bree frowned as a smirk made it's way on to his face.
"Fun killer, am I?" He asked, and then grinned as he began to 'throw' the water droplets off his hand on to her. She shrieked in response and Chase laughed.
Donald then began joining Chase in trying to throw the water drops on the others, who in return did the same. Soon, everyone was laughing, and they didn't even care that others had stopped to watch this family 'fight'.
Though the laughter and fake insults flying throughout the air gave away the fact that none of them were actually fighting. Everyone was flinging water at each other, while Bree and Chase were in their own little battle when Chase spoke.
"My hands are still wet; but I think that I have the perfect solution!" He exclaimed and she could only recoil back with laughter as he wiped his hands on her hair. She doubled back and did the same to him, making him recoil back; both laughing their heads off.
"That'll show you!" She yelled and laughed as he feigned disgust and gingerly touched his hair.
"Ugh, now I'll never get it to spike with your grimy little fingers having touched it." He groaned and she mocked anger.
"Oh, that's it!" She launched her self at him; the smile on her face proving that she wasn't really angry. Chase jumped back, and Bree suddenly stopped as she felt two big, and wet hands wipe her hair.
She jumped and looked behind her to see Adam with an innocent expression on his face. "Adam, we're on the same side!" She exclaimed, but the bewildered smile on her face once again showed her true thoughts.
"What? I thought we were doing that now," Adam said, before he suddenly grabbed Chase by the arm and did the same with him. Chase laughed as he gently pushed his hands away.
"Okay, big guy, that's enough. Why don't you go do it with them?" Chase suggested as he gestured towards the rest of the family, whose water fight had apparently already ended.
Adam shrugged and went over to the family, surprising Leo by having him be the first one. Bree and Chase both moved to each other's side and laughed at Leo's reaction. Adam frowned.
"It's not working! Your hair is too short!" Adam exclaimed, before trying to do it more aggressively, leaving Leo to jump up and run with Adam tailing closely behind, saying something about how Leo can run but can't hide from him.
Bree doubled over with laughter, and Chase joined her, both laughing until they could barely breathe. This had been one of the best days of her life. Because she was with her family, and her family was whole.
And that's all that mattered.
Bree awoke slowly, a smile spreading onto her face as she slowly opened her eyes.
That was one of her favorite memories.
She smiled and quickly glanced to the side to see if her brothers were awake, and frowned as she noticed her youngest brother's capsule empty. She only saw Adam asleep in his own. She quietly opened the door and stepped out, confusion written all over her face.
Maybe Chase was just upstairs.
In that case, she could go talk to him like they do sometimes when one of them have a nightmare. She began walking over to the lab elevator, when she suddenly stumbled into something on the dark lab's floor.
She managed to somehow catch herself and stop from falling, and then bent down to look at the mysterious object, which turned out to just be gear bags. She frowned in confusion; wondering how exactly they had gotten there.
A vague memory of Douglas showing up came to the forefront of her mind, but she wasn't sure why. She heard a noise, and for a moment, thought that it might be Chase coming back down, but only saw a light on in the infirmary room. She frowned.
Why would anybody in there? It couldn't be an intruder. She stood up to head over there, when something on the cyber desk caught her eye. She looked down at it, and noticed that Chase's capsule hadn't been used all night. That was weird. He always used his capsule.
Why would he-?
Oh...
Her heart nearly stopped as her breath hitched in her chest. It suddenly all came back to her. She gasped for air as she leaned against the desk; feeling the world sway around her, and her oxygen cutting off.
He was dead. He was dead.
Chase, her brother, was dead.
He wasn't alive. She couldn't go talk to him upstairs, or share the memory with him. Because he was the memory. She choked on a sob as she felt her knees distantly shake beneath her.
This couldn't be happening.
An overwhelming sense of despair washed over her, and when it disappeared, it had torn away the joy that was in her heart just moments ago, leaving barren mark on her heart.
She closed her eyes sobbed silently, glancing up at the empty capsule in the middle, where just last night, her baby brother had slept. She wept as she fell to her knees, the horror-filled reality that her brother would most likely never take another breath again. She sobbed, because this was hard.
This was so hard.
After several minutes, the sobbing had died down, quiet crying and sniffing taking it's place. She slowly stood up and moved to her capsule; looking longingly at the middle capsule for a moment, before opening her own and climbing in.
She sent one last, sad, glance at the capsule, before closing her eyes; trying desperately not to think of the empty space between her and Adam. She bit her lip to stop from crying. Because this was a nightmare.
And she was afraid she may never be able to wake up from it.
Just so ya' know, she was having a panic attack in that one part. Anybody like the little 'water fight'? Oh, and also, I'm debating on making a little one-shot about their first trip to Disney Land, kind of a prequel to the story. What do you think? Please review and let me know! :)
