Okay... Austin has decided to miss today's update... for very... personal... reasons... so... yeah. On the bright side, some of the fangirls like him now... maybe a little too much. D:

Sorry for not updating in a while. I have lots of things on my plate. I will TRY and update on schedule. And I might update another chapter today to make up for it. Well, here you go!

I do not own any of these shows, characters, etc. Just this story and anything you don't recognize.

**Chase's POV**

So I heard Austin got in trouble last night. I don't know what for though. I wonder what for..

"Hey, guys," Mr. Davenport greets when he comes into the lab.

"Hi and bye," Bree says, and goes upstairs, probably to see Austin.

"What did Austin get in trouble for last night?" I ask curiously.

"Oh, nothing important," Mr. Davenport answers. "It's fixed now,"

"If it's fixed, why won't you tell me?" I inquire, and Mr. Davenport subtly gestures toward Adam with a jerk of the head.

"Oh," I mouth back.

"BYE! I'M DONE WITH YOU!" Adam screams out of nowhere. Um...

Then he goes upstairs.

We both crack up after we're sure he can't hear us. man, that was so funny, just out of the blue!

"Okay, so Austin found the lab yesterday," Mr. Davenport informed. I pretend to be shocked. "Your fake shocked face isn't very convincing,"

"Fake?" I ask, very realistically.

"Okay! Sorry!" Mr. Davenport apologizes. Phew...

"How'd he find it?" I ask, as if I don't know. I told him it was in an empty hallway that looked like it had nothing in it.

"I don't know, but he showed me something earlier today..." Mr. Davenport trails off for a bit, then whispers, "He's bionic..."

I put a hand over my mouth. It wasn't fake. I can't believe Austin SHOWED HIM!

"Okay, great! I have to go now," I say with a nervous edge to my voice and go upstairs as fast as possible.

"I can't believe you showed him!" I hiss at Austin.

"I just showed him! It's not that bad!I had no choice, anyway! I got caught finding the lab and he was going to kick me out!" Austin whispers back. I guess that's acceptable...

"Fine," I let it slide, as long as it doesn't get out that we're brothers. Then I walk away from him to keep up the "unwilling brother" thing.

"Hey Austin!" Bree giggles behind me. Then I stop listening.

**Bree's POV**

"Hi," Austin replies. He talked to me! And didn't tell me to get away or ANYTHING!

"Hi..." I say dreamily. Then something strange happens.

Austin just disappears.

"Um... where'd you go?" I ask.

"Right here..." Austin replies, in a duh tone.

"I don't see you..." I retort, and then I hear footsteps running away, the obvious sound of Austin's Moonwalkers. I would chase him. Problem is I don't know where he went.

"UGH!" I scream about the frustration, and then I just go back to watching my videos that I took at the concert. And while Austin was sleeping. It's not weird. Or creepy in any way. Don't judge me!

I WILL find that boy. And I WILL find out what's going on here. And I WILL make a clone of him the same way Adam made clones of himself. All I have to do is steal a hair while he's asleep. Then it'll be TOO EASY!

Anyway, I'm going to get to the bottom of this. And ask if I can go on tour with him! Yay! He'll totally say yes! Whee!

Yeah, so Bree got a bit fangirly at the end. RissA15, you probably DESPISE her.

Whatever, Austin will be back next chapter... maybe... yeah, I'm going to MAKE him come back. He looks fine!

The random fact of the day is that the sound of E.T. walking was created by someone squishing their hands in jelly.

I'm trying to make them less destructive now. Things are getting a little out of hand lately.

Well, see you next chapter! When Austin will be back!
