Here's Chapter Two of Lab Rats: Stranded! Will Rose be able to make up with everyone, especially Chase? You'll have to read on to find out! (And this is where the real adventure starts…haha. :D)
Chapter Two: Attempted Apologies and Jet Joyrides
"Chase!"
"Chase?"
"CHASE!"
Rose super sped around the entire house trying to find her boyfriend (or should she say ex-boyfriend), but with no luck. Chase was nowhere to be found.
She stopped in the living room where she saw her brother, Dustin, sitting on the couch and watching TV.
"Dustin!" Rose walked over and sat down next to her brother.
"Hello? Dustin?" Rose waved her hand in front of Dustin's face. "Hello?! Is anyone in there?"
When Dustin didn't respond, Rose became fed up with his ignorance. She got up and stood in front of the TV, hoping she'd finally get his attention.
"Rose, please move. You're blocking the TV."
Rose shook her head. "Nope."
"Please! I'm trying to watch Yacky the Duck."
Rose had a disgusted look on her face. "You do realize that's a little kids' show, right?"
"So?" Dustin said. "Who cares? I like shows with cartoon ducks in them."
Rose rolled her eyes. "Whatever."
"So…can you please move?!" Dustin asked again. He was getting really annoyed now with his sister interrupting his TV time.
Rose smirked. "Okay, I'll move…if you tell me where Chase is!"
"He went outside. I think he's taking a walk. Something about needing some fresh air." Dustin replied, not taking his eyes off the TV screen.
Rose moved away from the TV and walked toward the front door.
"Hey, where are you going?" Dustin asked.
Rose looked at her brother. "I'm going to find Chase, as if it wasn't obvious enough!"
Dustin raised his eyebrow. "Are you sure that's a good idea? He's still really mad at you. Maybe you should let him have his alone time and wait until he comes back."
Rose bit her lip. "I would, but…I really want to see him now. To fix things. I made a huge mistake and I need to apologize. I said something I didn't mean and I could tell it really hurt him…I should know. It hurt me too."
Dustin shrugged. "Okay, it's your choice. But don't come back complaining to me when it turns into a trip to the emergency room."
Rose rolled her eyes. "Yeah, sure." She opened up the door and was about to walk out, but she stopped and turned to look at Dustin.
"Dustin."
"Yeah?"
"Are you mad at me?"
Dustin grabbed the TV remote and turned off the TV. He looked at his sister. "Of course not. I could never be mad at you."
Rose smiled. She knew Dustin was going to say that.
"But I am disappointed." He said.
"I know…I'm sorry. I promise I'll fix everything! And you know what? Who cares about a study abroad program in Australia? I'm not going. I wasn't even that excited about it in the first place."
"But you are excited about finally being enrolled in Mission Creek High, right?" Dustin asked.
"Of course! The only thing I'm not excited about is the principal. I've heard that she's like a bulldog in a pantsuit. I do not want to be involved with that!" Rose made a face after saying that.
Dustin laughed. "Yeah…that would be Principal Perry. Here's a tip: try to avoid her at all costs! That's what I do."
Rose raised her eyebrow. "And does that work?"
"Sometimes it does…sometimes it doesn't. By the way, don't you have somewhere to be right now?"
"Oh! Right! See ya later!" Rose then super sped out the front door. Dustin shook his head, a smile on his face.
"She'll never learn, will she?"
-Lab Rats-
Chase was currently sitting on a bench in the park. It was the same exact bench that he and Rose sat on when he gave her that necklace. Rose hasn't taken it off since then. She even wears it while she sleeps! That's how much it meant to her. And that made Chase happy.
It was also the same bench where they shared their first kiss. And that's a pretty big thing.
That moment was very special to Chase and he'll never forget it. Ever.
Maybe he was a bit harsh, but it really hurt him when Rose said she hated him. Was it really true? Did Rose not feel the same way in the first place? Was it all just an illusion?
No, Chase! It can't be true! It isn't true! Stop thinking that!
But…he didn't know. All he knew was that he and Rose weren't boyfriend, girlfriend anymore. He said it so himself.
He actually broke up with Rose. Chase was having a hard time believing it.
"Chase?"
Chase looked up to see Rose standing in front of him. He frowned.
"Oh, look who showed up. The hater-girl." Chase remarked.
Rose sighed. "Look Chase-"
"I don't want to hear it, Rose! Can't you see I'm busy?!" He snapped.
Rose crossed her arms. "You're sitting alone on a bench in the park and you're currently drawing frowny faces in the dirt with a stick."
Chase rolled his eyes. "And you care because?"
"Because I care about you, Chase." Rose sat down on the bench. "I really do. What I said back in the lab…I didn't mean it. I truly didn't. Believe me, it probably hurt me more than it did to you."
Chase scoffed. "Are you just saying that to make me feel better? Did you actually think coming over here and attempting at apologizing would work? That I'd forgive you? Nothing could fix what you said to me, Rose. Nothing!" He jabbed the stick in the ground frustrated.
Rose was a bit startled. She's never seen Chase this angry before. But why was she so surprised?
"I don't hate you, Chase. I love you. Do you not see that?"
Chase glared at Rose and didn't say a word.
Rose smiled. "Maybe this will change your mind." She leaned over and kissed Chase.
"Better?" Rose asked.
Chase smiled. "Yeah, better."
"I am sorry, Chase. Really, really sorry." Rose then paused. "I'm not going to the study abroad program in Australia."
"You aren't? But you were so excited to go." Chase sighed. "I'm sorry I forbade you to go."
Rose laughed. "Don't be! I wasn't that excited about it! Besides, if I did go, I would be leaving you and Dustin and the others. I couldn't bare myself to be without you guys!"
"Really? Well…that makes me feel…great." Chase said.
"It should!" Rose planted her hands on her hips. "I'm skipping a traveling study thing for you and your family!"
Chase smirked. "Yours too."
"You mean Dustin? Please! He's in the living room right now watching a cartoon about a dancing duck. He may be seventeen, but sometimes he acts like he's seven instead!"
Chase rolled his eyes. "How did you find me?"
"Really? You're asking how I found you? Isn't it already pretty obvious? How many times have we hung out together in this park? I took a lucky guess."
Suddenly, Chase's phone made a beeping noise.
"Uh…I would assume that is yours. Because my phone doesn't have a battery right now." Rose replied.
"And why is that?" Chase asked, taking his phone out of his pocket.
"I don't know. It might have been Adam. He said he needed my phone battery for his Incredible Edibles…whatever those are."
Chase's eyes went wide. "Uh…Rose…"
"Yeah?"
"You might want to get a new battery for your phone because you probably won't be seeing that phone battery anytime soon." Chase stated.
"Oh, and why is that?" Rose asked.
"I don't know. I think it's in Adam's colon right now." Chase said.
Rose's eyes went wide. "WHAT?! Oh, I am so getting back at him when we get home!"
"Which would be right now."
"Huh?"
"I got a text from Leo saying he wants us in the lab pronto."
"What did that scrawny, uncoordinated wimp do now?" Rose asked.
Chase shook his head. "No idea, but we better make sure it doesn't involve anything explosive."
-Lab Rats-
Rose and Chase walked into the lab to see no one was around.
Rose crossed her arms, annoyed. "Did we just walk into a trap?" She asked.
Chase shook his head. "I don't think so. But where is Leo?"
"Guys! In here!" A voice yelled. It was Leo.
"Leo?!"
Rose and Chase ran into another part of the lab. They found Leo along with Adam, Bree, and Dustin.
"What are you guys doing here?" Chase asked.
"Leo told us to come to the lab pronto." Bree explained.
"That's exactly the same thing Leo told us!" Rose exclaimed. "Well…through a text."
"So, Leo, what did you need all four of us in the lab for?" Dustin asked.
Leo grinned. "Look what I found!" He walked over to a giant thing that was covered with a sheet. He grabbed the sheet and pulled it off.
"Tad-a!"
"It's Mr. Davenport's private jet!" Chase said.
"That guy has a private jet?!" Dustin looked at the jet shocked. "Dude, you are blowing my mind!"
Rose rolled her eyes. "I'm surprised you haven't figured it out yet." She told her brother. "The guy is a billionaire! He has uh everything!"
"Right! I knew that!" Dustin laughed uncomfortably.
"Leo, why did you make us come down here to show us Mr. Davenport's jet?" Bree asked. It was clear she wanted to leave and be somewhere else.
"You know what I'm thinking?" Leo asked.
"Ooh I know this one!" Adam yelled out. "Uh…you're thinking about a pig in a clown's costume!" He pumped his fist in the air. "Yes! Totally got it!"
"No," Leo said. "I was thinking that we take Big D's jet for a little joyride."
"Why do that when we can just use a bunch of balloons to make our house float in the sky?" Adam asked.
"Where did you come up with that?" Rose asked, looking at Adam.
"In a movie! Duh!"
"I don't know, Leo. It seems too risky. We don't even know how to pilot this thing." Bree stated.
"We don't have to." Leo replied. "It's auto-piloted."
"Yeah," Chase said. "By Eddy!"
"Then does anyone here know how to pilot a jet?" Leo asked, looking at everyone in the room.
No one responded. Instead, they all had their eyes on Chase.
"Uh…why are you all staring at me?" Chase asked, shifting uncomfortably.
Rose smiled. "You, Chase, are going to pilot Mr. Davenport's jet."
"Why me?!"
"Because you are the obvious choice here. Isn't that right?"
Chase looked down at the floor. "Yeah…" He mumbled.
Rose clapped her hands together. "Then it's settled! Chase will be our captain of the ship!"
"Rose, we're going on a private jet. Not a ship!" Adam tapped the side of his head. "Think!"
Rose frowned. "That's not what I meant…you know what never mind. It isn't important right now."
"What's important is getting into the jet and going for a joyride!" Bree exclaimed. She was obviously excited.
Leo opened the door into the jet. "Ladies first."
Everyone cheered as they entered the private jet. Leo walked in last and closed the door behind him.
This was going to be awesome!
Or scary…whichever you prefer.
End of Chapter Two.
There is a Good Luck Charlie and Austin & Ally reference in this chapter. Do you know what they are? If not, here are the references I am talking about.
1: Yacky the Duck is a cartoon that PJ watches. It's been mentioned in a few Good Luck Charlie episodes.
2: There was a character in an Austin & Ally episode named Hater Girl, except spelled differently.
Yay! Rase is back together again! Woo! And uh-oh! What will happen now that they're taking Mr. Davenport's private jet for a joyride?
A whole lot of trouble, that's what!
See ya on Chapter Three, fanfiction readers!
