Sorry for such a long wait. Writer's block likes to come at the most…. Unusual of times. Anyhow, another GIANT shoutout to faithful reader Watchead! And onward!

Faith sat with her questionable school lunch with her sisters. She'd gotten her memories back, which included an immense amount of information for a girl her age. Almost as much information as Chase had. The "almost" being that Chase didn't belive in magic.
"Oh my god, Chase is such a nerd," Faith grinned poking at her rubbery beef patty. "I'm not that pretty, am I?"
"Well," Fira grinned. "That still remains to be seen."
"Oh Fira," Hope admonished her. "I wish I had Faith's figure and hair. No wonder the poor boy Is so captivated by her."
"Yuck," was all Faith had to say about the matter. "Who makes this food?"
"Uh, my amazing cooks over there," a voice that sounded strangely like an elephant getting run over by a bulldozer and then the bulldozer getting punched in my the short, squat red haired lady behind her.
"If, by amazing, you mean completely indigestible, then sure, amazing," Vidia sighed. "Anyway, I've got study hall. Good luck with the dead elephant."
Faith stuck out her tongue and sat back and tuned out Principal Perry. What a stuck up loser. Instead she went to eavesdrop on the conversation that the author cannot remember so she will give a summary of what happened.
Basically, the boys invited Marcus over to their house, so Faith was definitely going to get an invite as well. She hated using people to get ehat she wanted. Oh who was she kidding? It was her favorite pastime!
"Hey guys!" she said perkily, sliding into the seatnext to Chase. "Chase right?" When Chase nodded she continued. "Well, the homework is a little hard, so maybe I could come over and we could do it together?" She stressed the word together and flipped her hair to her left shoulder.
"Uhm, uh, sure totally," Chase mumbled. "But I have band practice first. You could watch us."
"Sure, I'd love to!" she grinned. "I was in a band once. Anyway, I have to go to math class. See you!" Faith walked off and shuddered. She was flirting so much it was crazy!

Later that day….
Faith rang the doorbell of a giant mansion. She simply teleported herself there using Once Upon a Time magic. Leo answered the door.
"You're pretty," he said, narrowing his eyes. "What are you doing here?" Faith smiled.
"Chase should be expecting me," she said cheerfully. Faith had spent a ton of time on her outfit. Or more like Hope had. Faith was dressed in her typical undercut blue jacket with a white shirt with a blue heart in the middle, skinny, ripped jeans and her favorite blue combat boots.
Leo looked her up and down. "But, you're pretty," he said simply. Faith sighed. This was what she got for associating with nerds/geeks.
"Yes, I suppose I am, but I'm supposed to be watching his band play and then we're going to do homework." Leo grudgingly let her in, which was understandable considering the fact that there was a lab in the basement. Faith had a pretty good plan to get them all to trust her, but it was risky.
When she walked in, the loud sounds of music hit her ears. Leo winced, but Faith stared ahead calmly. The training she'd had in her youth helped her to resist up to several hundred decibels before it began to affect her in a negative way. This training also allowed her to hear things most people wouldn't pick up on. Like the robotic whirring of Marcus's fingers on the guitar.
"Hi Chase!" she smiled. "I'll just sit here and watch for a while then." Chase nodded dumbly and Adam stared on in disbelief. Faith sat down on one of the red bar chairs and tuned out for a little bit, before saying she had to use the bathroom and left.
Making her way down the hallway, she stopped in front of a blank red wall. Waving her hand in front of it, an elevator appeared and she stepped inside. Once the doors had closed, Faith tuned out the sound of the really horrible singing and pressed the unmarked button. The elevator slowly went down and opened in the lab.
Mr. Davenport was working. Faith gasped and quickly turned invisible. Mr. Davenport turned around and saw nothing, so he turned back to his work. Faith quietly rummaged around the lab until she hit the jackpot.
Pulling out a folder labeled, Bionic Chip Schematics she tucked the folder into her backpack and teleported outta there and into the bathroom. When she came out, it was only Marcus and Leo. Faith quickly hid behind the wall.
Faith listened in and heard that since the author is too lazy to look up the exact conversation said here, she will just give a summary of what was said.
Marcus began to talk about how Leo was always butting in and how he wanted Adam, Bree and Chase al to himself. Then taking his own guitar, he smashed it on the ground. Faith cursed in her head. Chase, Adam and Mr. Davenport came out and Marcus shoved the broken guitar into Leo's hands.
"Oh my goodness, what happened?" Faith asked, pretending not to have seen anything. "Marcus smashed the guitar," she then said, thinking it better not to lie.
"Excuse me?" Marcus asked.
"Dude, I literally saw the whole thing," Faith smirked. "Tell me about jealousy issues man, I mean, really." Leo visibly sagged with open relief.
"Marcus, why would you do that?" Chase asked.
"Because I was so jealous because you and Leo were so close and I wanted to be friends with you guys and my grandma just died!" Marcus wailed. Faith had to hand it to him. He was mopping up sympathy from everyone besides her. Chase finally seemed to register that Faith was indeed in the house.
"Oh, um Dad this is Faith, Faith this is Dad," Chase said, stressing the word "dad". Mr. Davenport looked temporarily stunned.
"Hi, I'm Chris's science partner," Faith smiled. "Nice to meet you!"
"Of course it's nice to meet me," Mr. Davenport said. "I'm me."
"Is that a challenge of the egos?" Faith asked. "In that case, are you wearing a wig. Cuz your hair looks fake." Mr. Davenport gasped and ran a hand through his hair. They bantered to a little while until Hope winded in looking worried.
"Faith, Naveen wants us. Says it's important." Everyone in the room gaped at her.
"How'd you do that?" Marcus asked.
"Magic," Faith said, grinning and shimmered out of the room.
))))
Okay, how was that? Oh and yes, Faith can shimmer. Demonic powers, 'member?
