Wow, do I feel stupid now. I completely forgot to trap Beck and Robbie! Forgive me for my mistake… *smacks self on the forehead.* Lol don't worry, I'll have something planned for them in the future ;) Hehehehehe….

Here's how Tori and Cat get involved in the sticky situation that's unraveling as I write. I'm not going to necessarily say "trapped" this time considering that I accidentally neglected to do that in the last chapter XP Oh well, we're all human, aren't we? Or maybe you're all just evil mutant robots and I'm the normal one! Calm down, I'm just kidding (not)… XD Okay, I'll stop rambling and let you read! You don't have to tell me twice! Geez, you guys are killing me here XP Hahahaha *laughs awkwardly and tapes her mouth shut.*

(Sorry, it's like 1:00 at night right now and I get insanely crazy when I'm tired lol)

Cori- Treasure, adventure… and a laser gun?

Cat parked her bright pink car in the Vega's driveway and skipped happily to the front door. She couldn't wait to show Tori what she found during her meeting with her therapist! She usually loved her therapist. The young, attractive lady listened to everything she said and gave her a Tootsie pop every time she made a "breakthrough," as Dr. Kiney (her therapist) had called it. She didn't know what that was supposed to mean, but she always assumed it was a good thing.

However, today she was a little distracted during her therapy session. She didn't know exactly why she was in a more melancholy mood than usual. Robbie couldn't go baby golfing with her today- so what? They were going tomorrow, anyway! So why was she so upset after he ended their conversation so abruptly?

She tried coming up with excuses for her weird behavior. Maybe it's because her brother had put a spider in her bra the other day. Or maybe it's because she lost her job at Bed, Bath and Yonder because she was too busy smelling the different soaps and candles to actually help the customers. Yeah, that must be it, she thought to herself. Besides, isn't losing your first job supposed to be heart-wrenching the first time? So she made herself believe that excuse, even though she knew deep down inside that it wasn't really true.

Meanwhile, Tori was sitting on the couch watching Dancing with the Celebrities, bored out of her mind. At this exact day last summer, she and Andre had been on her laptop watching funny Bluetube videos until their stomachs hurt from laughing so hard. She did not imagine how much she would miss Andre while he was starring on Broadway with Jade. She always thought of him as just a good friend, but she had never really realized how close they had actually gotten until they said goodbye to each other last month.

She could hear Trina screeching some song she couldn't recognize (because she was singing it so horribly), and she turned the volume up on the TV until she couldn't hear the ear-piercing notes anymore. She couldn't believe Trina when she refused to drive her to Broadway. Tori was starting to think that Trina was purposefully trying to sabotage her chances of ever becoming famous. Could Trina really be that selfish and lazy? It's just not possible!

Tori huffed in frustration, suddenly stressed out from these thoughts running through her head and laid down on the couch with her feet dangling over the edge. She didn't have to see Trina to know that she was coming down the stairs.

"Baby, you're a FIIIIIREWORK! Come on show us WHAAAAT you're WORTH!" she sang loudly, clearly out of tune.

"Trina! Can you keep it down?" Tori sat up and looked at her sister with annoyance.

"You're going to buy a ball gown?" Trina asked, confused.

Teetering on her last nerve, Tori stormed over to Trina and ripped her ear buds out of her ears. "TURN THE VOLUME DOWN!" she yelled.

Trina looked shocked. "Whoa, looks like someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed today." She walked over to the refrigerator and got herself a bottle of water. "What's been up with you lately? You've been acting weird ever since Jade and Andre left."

"No I haven't!" Tori said defensively. Trina gave her a knowing look, but that didn't faze her. "It's my time of the month…" she weakly covered up.

"Okay, little sis, TMI!" Trina yelled from the kitchen. "I gotta go to the hospital. I won't be home until 10 tonight and Mom said there's chicken in the fridge if you want that for dinner."

"Wait, what are you doing there so late?"

Trina stared at her sister incredulously. "Didn't Mom tell you? I got a job as a nursing assistant!"

Tori's mouth fell open in shock. "You… got a job?" she exclaimed. She never would have thought that Trina Vega, of all people, would get a job. Heck, the girl fainted when she heard that she had to fold the laundry last night! "Well, don't come crying to me when you get fired."

"Gee, thanks for the support, "Trina said sarcastically, gathering up her things. "And when I get a promotion, which I will because I'm awesome, I'll be saying 'I told you so!' and rubbing it in your face!"

Tori felt bad being mean to her sister, but she was in such a crabby mood that she didn't care. "Why did you choose to work at a hospital?" she asked, trying to feign some interest.

"Because I look good in white, duh!" Trina said with her back facing Tori. "See ya later, alligator!" And with that she was out the door.

Tori sighed in frustration and turned the TV off. Cat would be here soon anyway. She wondered what Cat could possibly be up to this time. She had sent her a weird text a couple of hours ago- something about showing her a "treasure" she found. That made her nervous, considering Cat found it in her therapist's office. It could be anything from a piece of candy to a Swiss army knife- who knows what surprises are in store when it comes to Cat Valentine?

A couple of minutes later, the doorbell rang. "It's open!" Tori shouted, feeling too lazy to get off the couch.

Cat skipped through the door in a flowery dress and pink flats. "Tori!" she cried out in excitement and ran to where she was sitting. "Look at this! It's so shiny!" She squealed as she wagged the tiny piece of silver in Tori's face.

Tori was about to act like she was the least bit interested in the little thing, but something caught her eye. It wasn't just an old piece of plastic or anything. It had the name PNX Technology on it, a company that specializes in making advanced technology for the FBI. She knew this because her father had worked there for quite some time while training to be a police officer.

"Whoa… Cat, where did you get this?" Tori asked, plucking the computer chip out of her tiny manicured fingers and examining it closely.

"I found it under my therapist's desk!" Cat said, jumping up and down like she was on her Jupiter boots again. "She was asking me questions about my brother and as I was telling her a story of how he tried to microwave uncooked spaghetti, I accidentally knocked a whole bunch of paperclips off of her desk! I offered to pick them up and then I found this!"

"Cat… Do you know what this is?" Tori said with a sudden burst of curiosity.

"No… Is it a piece of lint? I saw this video once of a shell with shoes who tried to walk a piece of lint that looked like a dog."

Tori just stared at her, confused as she always was whenever Cat blurted out a random thought. "No… This is a computer chip from like one of the richest companies in the world! The employees basically work for the FBI!"

"Oh my god, that's so cool!" Cat cried, even more excited than she had been in a long time. Tori and Cat both had had nothing to do this summer, so this was the first time they were truly into something since school had ended. "Put it into your computer and let's see what's on it!"

"Alright, alright! Just wait a second!" Tori ran up to her room and got her laptop, which was covered in pictures of her and her friends. On top of all the pictures were stickers spelling out "Make It Shine."

She turned on the computer, and Cat leaned over her shoulder, trying desperately to see as Tori slid the chip into a slot on the side of the computer. A mysterious program opened up on the computer screen and blinked ENTER PASSWORD rapidly.

"Great! How are we supposed to know the password to this thing?" Tori groaned. "It could be anything! It's for the FBI, for goodness sakes! Is there a way for us to-"

Before she could go on, the screen stopped blinking and a mysterious voice said "Welcome! You have entered a top-secret database!"

"Wait. How…" Tori trailed off when she heard Cat giggling like crazy behind her. "Cat, how did you know the password?"

"There was a tiny word at the bottom of the screen that said 'unspeakable,' so I just tried that! You're welcome," she said, hugging Tori around the neck.

Tori shrugged her arms off and clicked on a button that said CLICK HERE TO VALUATE YOUR PRODUCT. "What does that mean?" Cat asked.

"I think they're developing some kind of weapon for the FBI," Tori commented, looking at a blueprint of what appeared to be some sort of laser gun. "Holy chizz, they're planning to sell whatever this is for two million dollars!"

"That's crazy!" Cat exclaimed. "Do you know what it is?"

"No… and if it's for the FBI, I don't want to know," Tori said, accenting the word don't as she spoke. At this point, she was kind of freaked out. They had a blueprint for a deadly laser gun and no one else knew! What were they supposed to do now? "What are we going to do? This obviously doesn't belong to us, and someone may be looking for it."

"Well, Trina and your parents are out of the house until tonight. Why don't we drive to the company and return it? It's only like two hours from here, I think."

"That's not a bad idea, Cat… except for the fact that we could get ARRESTED!" Tori cried.

"Why don't we tell them you're Mr. Vega's daughter? Since he went there to train, they should understand." Cat said.

Tori ran a hand through her brown, wavy hair anxiously. "Okay, but we have to be back by 10!" She grabbed her black and white striped purse (which went well with her white cami and her black leather jacket) "Come on, let's go!"

"Wait!" Cat yelled from the kitchen. "I have to call my brother and tell him to demagnetize his hair!"

"… Why?" Tori yelled back, instantly regretting her question.

"Because he attached a bunch of magnets to his scalp so he could stick to the ceiling, but it didn't work, so he connected the magnets to some wires and the current made his hair all staticy and charged up. Now whenever he goes into the kitchen, he has to duck because the pots and pans are attracted to his hair."

Cat tells some pretty weird stories about her brother, but this has got to be the weirdest one yet! Tori thought. "Call him later!" she shouted and headed out the front door.

"Kk!" Cat replied, shoving her phone into the same place where she keeps her candy. "Yay, we're setting out on an adventure!" She ran out the door pretending to be a top-secret agent as they walked towards Tori's car. They both couldn't wait to see where this would lead them… but little do they know what they were about to get themselves into.

Okay, I know this chapter is a little weird. For some reason, because of the words I randomly chose out of the dictionary, it was a lot harder to write than the others. Here are the words I ended up using in this chapter:

Chip (noun)- a small wafer of semiconductor material that forms the base for an integrated circuit

Set-out (verb)- begin trip: to begin something, especially a journey

Unspeakable- not describable in words: incapable of being described in words

Accent- to put emphasis on a syllable of a word

Valuate- to determine the price or cost of something

Demagnetize- stop something from being magnetic: to remove the magnetic properties from something

I know, I know, I'm such a promise breaker! I didn't trap Tori and Cat yet either, but I will soon. Things are about to get very, very suspicious in the Los Angeles and New York areas…

Trina and Sinjin's situation will be presented next. Will they somehow get involved in this sticky situation, too? Or are they just stuck in their own problems? Find out next! Please review if this chapter isn't too horrible X(
