"Quick, Bree, hide me!" Chase said frantically as he bolted into the kitchen, diving behind the counter.
Bree rolled her eyes. "How is Adam terrorizing you this time?" she asked.
"He wants to see if he can still throw me as far as he normally can!" Chase replied quietly. "Now shh! He's coming!"
"Hey Bree! Have you seen Chase?" Adam asked loudly as he jogged into the area.
After a split-second decision, Bree answered "No, I haven't."
Adam huffed in frustration. "Where could he be? Normally I wouldn't be surprised because he'd be small enough to hide anywhere he wanted, but he's not that small anymore!" Shaking his head, the oldest bionic left the room in order to continue his search for his bionic brother.
"Thanks Bree!" Chase said, hopping back to his feet as soon as he was certain that Adam was gone.
Bree only nodded, turning away from him uncomfortably. She still hadn't recovered from before; she was queasy at just the thought - Bree was reminded of her mortifying mistake whenever she saw Chase at first glance. She desperately wished that he could disappear until he was back to normal because it was just disturbing.
"I'm way taller than you now," Chase said without precedent, and Bree turned to see him smirking at her. "It's great not being short!" he added.
Bree shook her head, saying "Only you would get such a kick out of this."
"I'm justified," Chase argued. "Don't you think I ever get sick of you and Adam making fun of me? How would you like it if you were always teased because you were short?"
Bree chose not to answer, and Chase frowned. "Here, let me demonstrate," he said suddenly, grabbing her phone from the counter. He held it high above his head where he knew she couldn't reach it, waving it tauntingly.
"Give it back!" Bree exclaimed angrily.
"Nuh uh, you have to get it back," Chase stated. He watched smugly as she tried and failed to take it from him.
"Chase Davenport, give me my phone back right now!" Bree growled. She tried using her super-agility to jump and grab it, but Chase only swung it away.
"Adam!" Bree suddenly shouted. Chase's eyes widened.
"No no no, sshhhh," Chase quickly tried to quiet her.
"Chase is in here!" Bree yelled, and Chase gave her a dirty look.
"Sorry sport," he grumbled. "Just for that, you're not getting your phone back for a while!"
Bree clenched her teeth. "You'd better give that back right now!" she threatened.
"Or what?" Chase asked as he held the phone higher up and further away from her, the look of challenge on his face making Bree angrier.
"Bree! Who's this?" the fighting siblings heard Tasha ask from the doorway, and they saw that she and Leo were coming in. The bionics froze.
"Don't you think he's a little old for you?" Leo asked his older sister, raising an eyebrow.
Chase choked, coughing as he bent over, and Bree gagged, her face crimson.
Leo looked at them in bafflement, saying "Ohhh, you two aren't together?" which brought about the increase in the bionics' initial reactions.
"No Leo, just – no!" Chase gasped out.
"Why do you know me?" Leo asked quickly, glancing at his mother for support.
"Because I'm Chase!"
"What?!" both Leo and Tasha exclaimed at the same time.
"He was screwing around with Mr. Davenport's stuff," Bree explained bluntly.
"You make it sound like this was an accident," Chase said with a frown.
"Does Donald know about this?" Tasha asked.
"Yes," Chase replied confidently. Bree chose that moment to snatch her phone back from her brother who wasn't paying attention to her, stalking away from him. Chase only shot her a look in response.
"What did you do?" Leo asked incredulously.
"I temporarily made myself older to show you all that I won't always be short," Chase explained with a shrug.
"Yeah, but he's still shorter than me," Adam laughed as he came into the room, evoking a scowl from Chase.
Tasha rolled her eyes, saying "I'm going to let Donald sort this one out," as she walked out of the main living area.
As soon as Tasha was gone, Adam raised his eyebrows, and with a mischievous smile, asked Leo "Hey Leo, wanna see if I can still clear the counter?"
Leo looked confused at first, but seeing Chase's expression, figured out quickly what Adam meant, and a grin encompassed the youngest boy's face.
Realizing that Leo wasn't going to be his ally, Chase dashed out of the room, and Adam said to Leo "The trick is catching him – but once we do, the real fun begins!"
