Mission: Mission Creek High

Bree had invited me over to hang out because ever since the whole debacle with Mr. Davenport's brother and the first encounter with bad boy Victor Crane, Bree and I hardly had any best friend bonding time. Of course this meant that I was banned from seeing Chase until further notice by Princess Bree. I didn't mind it that much since I missed hanging out with her. Sometimes it's hard to have a best friend and your boyfriend be siblings and live under one roof.

We had set our girls day in the sitting room and sat there and talked while our pink and purple nails dried completely. We talked about everything and nothing in between. But mostly our talk was about what happened to the both of us while they were away hiding. I told them about how Principal Perry let us spend the night at the school and I spilled about how much I missed them.

Bree frowned at that, "I'm sorry all of this happened Katie. We didn't mean for you to get caught into all this trouble."

"Don't worry about Bree. I knew what I was getting into when I started hanging out with you guys. And I'd do it all again," I told her, "Besides, now, I can't imagine my life without you guys in it."

Bree brought me into a hug and whispered, "I am so glad you're my best friend."

We were interrupted when the boys walked into the room, "Aw, we see hugging," Adam said before going into the kitchen to get a pudding cup.

Chase kissed my forehead just before Mr. Davenport happily came down the stairs.

"The lab is officially done!" He cried, "I can't wait to show you what I've done with the place!"

Mr. Davenport kept singing 'I got a new lab' over and over again until we reached one of the entrances to the lab. So far I wasn't the only one getting annoyed with his childish antics.

"Whoa, whoa, I think you mean 'we' got a new lab," Bree said.

"Excuse me," Mr. Davenport scoffed, "Did 'we' pay to rebuild it?"

"Do you sleep in a glass box?" Bree threw back at him.

Mr. Davenport paused before smiling and singing, "We got a new lab. We got a new lab," Chase and Leo started dancing like idiots.

I placed my hand on Chase's arm, "Please stop that."

Chase pouted but didn't say anything because in that moment, Mr. Davenport spread his arms out, "And here it is."

The doors slid open and my mouth dropped.

The lab was completely redone. A lot of the stuff was a complete upgrade from what I had known before the blast. Still, a part of me will miss the old lab considering all the memories I have with my second family, but this new lab is totally amazing in itself.

"Guys," Chase said as he looked around in awe, "Look at all these upgrades. Mr. Davenport this place is amazing!"

"Of course it is," Mr. Davenport laughed, "I designed it."

Leo looked over at him, "Ehem!"

Mr. Davenport was frustrated, "Fine! WE designed it! We!" Mr. Davenport let out another sigh before walking over to their capsules, "Upgraded capsules; bam! Quantum processing super computer; bam! Four dimensional combat simulator; bam! This, my friends, is what a multi-million dollar makeover looks like."

"Is there a mini fridge?" Adam asked.

"No."

"I bet our real dad has a mini fridge," Adam told Chase over his shoulder.

"Hey, Leo, where's your work station?"

Leo took the control pad away from Mr. Davenport and smirked, "This way children," Leo waved us to follow him, pressed a few buttons and the floor disappeared and in its place was Leo's own desk that was fully upgraded, "The floor in the lab is compartmentalized. Meaning we can store things in it. May I?" Leo did another stupid dance before yelling out, "Bam!"

Chase's head then snapped over to another one of Mr. Davenport's upgrades, "Is that a nuclear magnetic residence spectrometer?" He then proceeded to freak out over it. It was hilarious.

"I've never seen one in person before," Chase said in awe, "It's so beautiful."

Bree looked at me and we both rolled our eyes.

Figures.

"Should we leave you two alone?" I asked and Chase looked at me. He stood up straight, cleared his throat then wrapped his arm around my waist pretending that he didn't just freak out like that. Again, it was hilarious. I tried oh so hard not to laugh out loud.

"Mr. Davenport," I spoke, "How did you afford all this?"

"Well I used some of the money from the jet wing stunt but the rest of it I got from a huge government contract I just signed," All while he was talking, he walked over to his new and improved cyber desk and typed in a few numbers, "I am developing a rocket system to protect the Earth from rouge asteroids. Thanks to this little baby, I'm on my way back up big Rich Mountain and wooh! The air smells better up here!" He marveled in it before looking back at the screen, "Okay one more thing I forgot to show you…"

Adam gasped, "Mini fridge?"

Mr. Davenport's face scrunched up, "There is no mini fridge!"

All of us groaned when Eddie popped up, "No but there is me!"

Why? Why does he have to be back? I had a nice time without him here!

"Hello friends!" Eddie said "And I use the term 'friends' loosely because you're not my friends and I hate you."

Bree rolled her eyes, "Did you really have to bring Eddie back?"

"Yeah, I don't know if I'm okay with that." Chase walked over to the tiny screen.

"Then you definitely won't be okay with this," Soon the floor was gone and Chase started yelling as he went down. I winced as I heard Chase impact with the ground below, "Bam!" Eddie smirked.

I carefully walked over to the whole Chase disappeared to and looked down, "Chase are you okay?"

"I'm fine," Chase's groan echoed, "Just landed on my backside."

I winced and continued to look down. It was kind of dark and I couldn't make out his figure below. I turned around and looked at Mr. Davenport, "How is he supposed to get back up?"

LAB RATS

When we went back to school some idiot was making tire skid marks in the faculty parking lot. The noise the tires were making made me wince. It sounded so similar to the way nails on a chalkboard would sound.

And as if Bree was reading my own thoughts she said, "That jerk has been doing donuts in the school parking lot all morning."

"I know," Adam chuckled, "Finally a good reason to come to school."

The sound of squealing tires reached us. "Guys look out!" Chase pushed us out of the way of an incoming car and two beat up trash cans that would have run us over.

Principal Perry stuck her head out backwards out of the driver side window. She then proceeded to stick her leg out where her head use to be while leaning on the car horn multiple times. Finally she got out the normal way while panting for breath.

Perry tried to play the scenario cool, "What's up?"

Leo walked over to her, "What are you doing?"

"Pushing the envelope on this little baby's roll over specs," Perry replied.

"How did you afford this?" Adam asked.

"Your daddy gave me my first payment for keeping your little bionic secret. So, naturally, I went out and bought my dream car, a barrel of pudding and a lifetime supply of kitty litter," Perry's eyes went wide and she smiled, "The fancy kind that clumps!"

Who would ever, in their right mind, want those specific things to buy when they're getting paid like Perry is? That's right, not one single normal person would.

"I think we have different definitions of fancy," Bree quipped.

We tried to make our way into the school but, unfortunately, that wasn't going to happen. Perry kept riding our tails asking so many questions about Adam, Bree and Chase's bionics. I hadn't even been inside the school yet and already I wanted to throw myself under a passing bus.

"-can you recharge my cell phone? Do you have vacuum attachments?" Perry gasped "Can you turn into wolves?"

"Not yet but I did put that in the suggestion box," Adam told her and I rolled my eyes.

"There's gotta be more you're not telling me," Perry whined "Spill!" She then started to poke Adam on the arm and annoy all of us with her constant talking.

"She's not gonna stop, is she?" I asked.

"What do you think?" Leo replied.

Perry then began to pull at Adam's backpack strap until Adam gave in. All of our eyes went wide as we waited for him to rat them out.

"We use our bionics to go on missions."

Damn it Adam! Why must you must you be so stupid, huh?

Perry gasped like a child, "Missions? I would be so good on missions," She looked up at the ceiling, "I can see it now…"

Apparently everyone else but me saw it and I rolled my eyes and how stupid they looked starring at nothing. So instead of waiting, I walked to my locker without a goodbye.

Hey, who was I to ruin a perfectly insane Principal Perry moment? Not this chica. No way.

I unpacked up bag and put all my books in my locker. The thought of Principal Perry on missions made me laugh. I mean Adam, Bree and Chase are very flexible and can deal with the pressure because they've been doing this rodeo their whole lives. Principal Perry is short and stout and stiff as cardboard.

Suddenly Leo yelled, "Please make it stop!"

I closed my locker just as the bell rang. Crap! I'm going to be late for History class.

LAB RATS

I was fed up. So fed up to the point I wanted to bang my head against the wall until I bled to death. I know it sounds morbid but that's how I felt.

Not only did she bug Adam, Bree and Chase throughout the day but whenever she saw me, Perry started pestering me with questions like:

"So how does your relationship work because short stack is bionic?"

Or

"Do you go on missions with them?"

When the school bell rang at the end of the day I headed for the hills.

The three bionics met me halfway down the side walk leading to their house and we talked about our day before entering their house. Chase groaned as he threw his backpack to the floor, "Man, I'm exhausted. Perry's been nagging me all day about going on a mission. Oh! Gimmie, gimmie, gimmie!"

My eyes went wide and the familiar pound in my head came back when I saw Perry walk into the room with duffle bag in her hands.

"What's up mission buds?"

Why! Why must fate torture me like this?!

"What are you doing here?! How did you get in our house?!"

"I used the doggy door," She said and the pounding in my head got worse.

"We don't have a doggy door," Chase replied.

Perry held up a hand saw, "You do now."

I wanted to leave so badly right at that very moment and so I picked up my bag and headed for the door, "Well it's been a long day and I'm tired. See you guys later."

Adam, Bree and Chase's eyes went wide as I opened the door, "Katie please don't leave us with her!"

But when I left, I realized I would be on my own and I really didn't want to go back inside where Principal Annoying was so I decided to head back to the school. When I got there, Leo was already sitting on the sidelines with Janelle. They were so cute paired up together. They should just kiss and date already.

"Hey guys! Do you mind if I sit here?"

Leo scooted over and Janelle smiled at me, "Hey Katie!"

I waved and looked at the game. One of the teammates for the opposing team made a basket, "Ah, classic, the old triangle offensive power break with a little dribble traffic-"

"You have no idea what you're talking about, do you?" Janelle smiled.

"Nope," Leo smirked, "But these seats cost me forty bucks so you could at least play along."

See? They would be an amazing fit! Maybe I should meddle a little…

All of a sudden one of the players slammed into Janelle and she fell to the floor.

Okay maybe I should just let nature take its course.

"Janelle! Are you okay?"

She groaned as Leo helped her up, "Yeah, I think so. How does it look?" Janelle pulled her hair back and the both of us winced at her forehead. A huge red bump was forming on her forehead.

"Great!" Leo squeaked, "You look great."

"You see? I told you; bad things happen when we're together."

"That is not true," Leo firmly told her, "Anybody got an icepack?" One was thrown at Janelle's face and she winced again.

LAB RATS

Not even a half hour into the game, Janelle was fed up and asked me to help her to the girl's bathroom. Once we were in there, I helped her clean her wound.

"Leo so accident prone," She told me, "I don't know if I can be around him anymore."

I paused for a moment thinking over her words and what I was going to say to her. Finally I found it and said, "You know, Leo and Chase are kind of similar that way but it didn't stop me from being with him."

"Why?"

"Because I love him and I know you don't love Leo but you do have some type of feelings for the boy, don't you?"

"Yeah," She said, "He's a really nice guy. There are not many guys like that around here."

"So give him another chance. He'll probably surprise you."

LAB RATS

Janelle took what I said to heart and gave him another chance and Leo recognized that, "Thanks for staying and giving me a second chance."

"Just waiting for my double vision to go away," Was her reply even though that wasn't the real answer.

Leo suddenly pulled her out of the way of a ball being thrown her way. The boy beside her caught it, "See? You're safe with me."

Leo spoke too soon when the guy threw the ball back and hit her in the face.

"Ow," She cried and got up from the bench.

"Are you okay?"

"Do I look okay? Forget your step-dad's technology; it's you. You're bad luck."

"I'm bad luck? You're the one who keeps getting hit in the fa-"

He cut himself off when she gave him the 'Are-you-serious' look, "Do you want to go for a walk?"

Janelle shook her head, "I'm sorry Leo. I don't think we should hang out anymore."

"Well that came out of nowhere."

A frown took over my face as he ran after her. Poor Leo. I followed but hid myself in case sometime went wrong and I needed to pull Janelle away from him.

"Janelle, I am not bad luck!"

Janelle stopped and looked up, "What's that fiery object hurdling towards us?"

I looked up and panicked. It was so close I could feel the heat from it. What heck was going on?

"Shooting star! Quick make a wish. Mine is that we live for two more minutes."

"It's getting closer. What do we do?" Janelle panicked.

"I don't think there is anything we can do," Leo replied.

I kept looking up as it got nearer and didn't notice Adam and Bree used Bree's super speed. Leo did and panicked, "Except hide behind this thing," he said pulling her behind a trash can.

I jumped when I heard metal shifting and jumped when I saw Adam using his super strength to pick up a car that happened to be Principal Perry's. I ran over to Bree whose eyes went wide when she saw me.

"What are you doing here? I thought you went home?"

"I came to see the game," I told her, "Bree what is that thing and what is Adam doing with Principal Perry's car?"

Before she could answer me, Adam threw it and it exploded with whatever it was.

"Whoa it worked," Adam said before he saw me, "Hey Katie! Let's grab another car to make sure."

Bree pulled him back when Adam went to get another car, "Come on. Let's get out of here. Katie take my arm."

I was then whisked away from the school and was back at the lab. My hair was tangled and I groaned because a bug flew in my mouth. Gross.

When Chase saw that I was there, his eyes went wide "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine," I said and was pulled into my boyfriend's arms.

"You sure," he kissed my forehead and then my lips. I heard everyone else in the room groan but ignored them anyway.

"Yes you worry wart."

"Good," Chase said and kissed me again.

AN: Sorry for the suckish ending plus for how short it is.
