Guest: Thanks
Smilingbringsjoy: Here's your update. Drone Alone.
Disclaimer: I don't own anything except Cassie
Sometimes in life you are faced with a really tough decision and you don't know what to do because you have people counting on you making the right one. I looked up at Leo and narrowed my eyes "Got any 4's"
"Nope, go fish" he smiled victoriously as Adam groaned in frustration.
"There goes my 5 bucks" he muttered.
"Oh this is so exciting" Tasha said as she and Mr. D walked down the stairs with bags in their hands. "I have never been to Australia before"
Eddy popped up on the screen "Hey, maybe you'll like it so much you won't want to come back"
Tasha rolled her eyes "Donald, honey, do you have the plane ticket?"
"We're taking my fully automated private jet" he scoffed "Plane tickets? Why don't we just slap on a bunch of stamps and mail ourselves there"
"Private Jet that works"
She turned to me and Leo "Score" we all whispered.
Mr. D walked over to me and Leo "Okay, Leo, this is your chance to prove you're responsible enough to stay at home without us"
"ME? What about them?' he motioned to the three on the couch, "What about Cassie?' he pointed to me.
I gasped "Leo I'm an angel" Leo rolled his eyes.
"They were designed to go on missions and save the world. You were designed to break stuff and drag Cassie into it"
"Don't worry I know the rules- No touchy touchy your stuffy stuffy"
"Leo I'm serious. There's millions of dollars worth of technology here. So no goof-ups, no explosions, and no fires- you know what I'm not going. I'm not going"
For the next few minutes we talked Mr. D into going on the vacation, as soon as they were gone Adam, Bree, and Chase all Cheered.
"Whoo-hoo! Party in the lab!" Adam shouted and we high fived.
"Did you not here what Davenport just said? We're supposed to be responsible"
"Oh right I'll be responsible for snacks and Leo your responsible for blowing up the raft. Whoo-hoo! Party in the lab!"
"Yeah! Let's go!" I shouted and we turned to leave.
"Cassie don't encourage them"
"Relax Leo it's just a small party, it's only going to be us for 4. % if you want to join" I offered.
"No!" Leo shouted.
"Whatever" I shrugged my shoulders "Party in the lab!" and we headed down to the lab.
Down in the lab I was helping Adam work on the snacks while Chase was on Mr. D's computer and Bree was flipping through a magazine.
"Australia looks interesting, but I'd really like to check out New York" Bree said.
"Yeah, well maybe one day when you're older" Chase was cut off by Bree super speeding out of the lab. "Or now" he looked over at me and Adam "And what are you two doing"
"We are combining foods" I held up a tomatoes and some butterscotch pudding.
"See Butterscotch pudding and tomato's is probably a no but being home alone and doing whatever I want is a huge yes. So I'm going to do it anyway"
I dipped it in and handed it to Adam "Taste"
He took it and took a bite "Oh that's bad"
I frowned then looked over at Chase "So what are you doing" I walked over and placed my hands on the chair.
"I'm pulling a prank on Mr. Davenport, the next time he checks his bank account, it's going to be euros. Bam!"
I shook my head "This is Mr. D we're talking about he won't care as long as he still has all his money." Chase frowned "But A for effort" I kissed his cheek.
The lab doors opened and Leo walked in "What is Chase doing on Mr. Davenport's computer"
"He's pulling a prank by changing his money to Euros" I explained.
Chase turned around "Same value but still funny"
"No" Leo grabbed the chair and pulled Chase away. Suddenly Bree came super speeding back in and was wearing the most ridiculous outfit ever. "Where were you?" Leo asked.
"Well, I was headed to New York City, bit I got stuck in Jersey. Check out my bling. Boom! How do ya like them sparklers?" Bree asked in a Jersey accent.
"Bree" Adam complained "Look what you did! You got butterscotch pudding all over my broccoli."
"Wait!" I shouted and picked it up "Adam taste" I handed it to him.
He took a bite and gasped "What a delicious mistake"
"Yes!" we high fived.
"Aw, I'm sorry. I meant to get it on your face" Bree scooped some up and threw it at us. We all ducked and it ended up hitting Chase in the face. "Boom I'm throwing pudding here"
"Oh look! Chase and pudding! I hadn't thought of that combo" Adam smiled.
I walked over and wiped some of and tasted it "Mmm, delicious" Chase rolled his eyes.
"Bree you are going down" Chase stood up.
"Bring it! Adam hold my hoops" she handed Adam her earrings.
I stepped out of the line of fire and watched "Bionic beat down!" I called out.
They went to start but Leo stopped them "Stop! I really need this weekend to go well for me"
"Chill out Leo. What's the big deal? We're just having a little fun" chase said setting down the marshmallows.
"I'm not. If Davenport trusts me to stay home alone, then next he'll give me a job in the lab, and then he'll let me go on missions with you. Don't you want me to go on missions with you?"
"ehh" "I guess" "Not so much" they all responded.
I laughed "See they want me to go on missions. Right guys?" I said confidently.
"Ehh" "I guess" "Not so much they all responded again. I scowled at all of them
"That's it. No more crazy foods. No more pranking Davenport. No more breaking your curfew to go to New York, and no more encouraging them" Leo directed the last part to me. I crossed my arms and pouted.
"Jersey!" Bree corrected him "This guy what a nudge"
"Just get in your capsules and go to sleep" Leo commanded. They all got in there capsules and Leo followed them over "I'll turn on the nightlight for you" Leo clicked the button on a small device labeled LEMP. Huh? I've never heard of the brand before. "And you" Leo spun around "Bed! Now!"
"fine" I turned and walked away, suddenly I spun around "Wait you can't tell me what to do"
Leo rolled his eyes "Bed!"
"Whatever" I mumbled and head upstairs. When I got to my room I flopped on my bed "Hey E" he didn't answer "E? E?" he never came on "Whatever" and I went to sleep.
The next morning I was down in the kitchen making some eggs and no one had come up stairs yet, it was weird. Finally Leo came up to the counter
"Scrambled or over easy?" I asked.
"Scrambled" Leo answered.
"With cheese" I finished with him and we fist bumped. That was one of Leo's favorite breakfast's Cheesy scrambled eggs and bacon.
"I'm going to go check on the lab want to come" he asked.
I put his eggs on a plate and turned to him "Can't you just trust them not to destroy the lab"
Leo looked at me as if I was crazy "No. No I can't"
"Fine I'm coming" I turned off the stove and followed him down to the lab. We walked in and the place was a mess. "Hey- Holy Tornado!"
"Cassie?" Chase said looking around the room "Cassie is that you"
"What happened all we did was go to sleep" Leo shouted.
"Leo something happened to my vision I can only see pixels" He told us before he tripped over a chair.
I walked over and helped him up "Okay upsie daisy" I pulled him up "Are you okay?"
"I don't know" he said looking at the wall behind me.
"Buddy up what's" Adam said from where he sat on the raft.
"He sounds different" Leo said pointing at him.
"Yeah that's because he can only speak backwards. It was fun for about the first five minutes now I just want to rip his head off"
"Wait where's Bree?" Leo asked noticing Bree wasn't in the room. To be honest I hadn't noticed either. "And if you say she went to Paris for crepes, I'm going to lose it"
"I don't know where she is" Chase answered "something woke us up in the middle of the night, she started bouncing around the room like a pinball, and I haven't seen her since… I haven't seen anything since"
"Okay im going to call her and im gonna get her back" Leo walked over to the computer and I slowly drifted over behind him. "Call Bree" he told the computer. When she answered she had a giant dinosaur behind her "Bree! No! please tell you didn't travel back in time"
"Dude that'd be awesome" I smiled.
Bree rolled her eyes "No! I just woke up and started running. The next thing I was in the desert, my feet were smoking, and my navigation system was all goofed up." The screen crackled "My phones about to die what am I going to do…" She got out before the screen went black.
Leo hit all sorts of buttons "Bree! Bree!"
"Oh uh" Adam said
"Guys a little help here, please" Chase said as he stood in a corner.
"Damn it!" I muttered before I walked over I completely forgot he couldn't see. "Sorry" I put my arm around his waist and guided his back to the others. Adam pushed him out of my grasp and onto the floor. "Adam!" I scolded.
I helped Chase back up and over to the counter as a loud beeping sounded through the lab. "What the heck is that!?" Leo asked.
"Well that's either Mr. Davenports radon gas alarm or it's his emergency phone. And being that none of us have passed out yet, it's his emergency phone!"
Leo panicked "Cassie answered it!" We had a mini stare down before I ran over and answered it.
"Davenport Industries home of the little man's big dreams how may I be of services" I answered
"Cassie? What's going on?" Mr. D asked
"Nothing big. Watching cartoons, eating breakfast you know, the Saturday morning usuals"
"Cartoons! Watch want to I" Adam said and Chase placed his hand over his mouth to keep him from talking.
"Was that Adam let me talk to him" Mr. D told me.
"Um no, it's the TV. Leo's watching captain backwards, he saves the day in the beginning and does all the boring stuff in the end. It's a terrible show I have no clue why Leo watches it" I excused.
"What about Bree is she around"
"No, you know us girls. She's knee deep in make-up and unicorns" I mentally slapped myself.
"Cassie give the phone to Leo"
"Got it" I pulled the phone away "Leo, Mr. D wants to talk to you" I gave the phone to Leo and went back to Chase's side helping stand.
"Hey Big D what can I do for ya… oh, you mean the night light… No. No I did not" Leo unplugged the night light. What did he do. "I should go tell my mommy I love her" Suddenly I could hear Tasha screaming through the phone, Leo hung up :They're coming home right now"
"I could hear that" I said sarcastically.
"Tell my mommy I love her" Chase repeated.
"I'm sorry. When I freak out I talk baby talk. Now if you'll excuse me im gonna go upstairs to take a night night with my binky"
Leo went to walk away but I put my hand a out and pushed him back up against the consol "What did you do?"
"I may or may not have turned on the… LEMP" Leo admitted. What's a LEMP.
"What" Chase shouted "Leo, how could you turn on the LEMP it's a giant glitch machine. That's what goofed us all up"
"Oh, so this id one of those things that Davenport talks about we're not suppose touch?" Leo asked.
"Hmm? Ya think!" I shouted.
"Good to know. Good to know" Leo said. I ran a hand through my hair this is so not good.
"Look we have to fix this before they get home. I'll locate Bree's signal and send her the coordinates so she can find her way back" Chase began to work on the consol.
"I can help you" Chase just looked at me well a little to the side but same difference. "What your visions impaired"
"Cassie, Cassie, Cassie. Genius know no limits"
"Good its flashing signal received" Leo said looking over at the monitor "But what about you two?" he asked pointing to Chase and Adam.
"Well Mr. Davenport did install an emergency video file on my internal hard drive. But we're only suppose to watch it in an emergency"
"Oh up wake! Emergency it is this!" Adam exclaimed. He grabbed Chase's hand and guided his finger slash hard drive into the slot.
Mr. Davenport appeared on the monitor and Leo and Adam walked over. I stayed by Chase taking his hand to let him know I was still there. "So, if you're watching this I must've gone to that big hard drive in the sky. How could this have happened? I was so young! Look at me! I was so beautiful and smart and talented. This is awful"
"Right about know m sorta glad I can't see this" Chase said and I nodded.
"Is that really what he wore to say his final Farewell? Slap on a suit dude! You're on a stairway to heaven" Leo to the computer screen.
"Now you're probably in a crisis so first things first, if you didn't have time to have me cryogenically frozen, just chuck me in the fridge for now, it'll have to do" Mr. D continued.
"Don't you let him near my cold-cuts" Leo told Adam.
"Oh and uh, I would like you to play my super funeral mix at my service. Also money is no object so I'd like a super hug blow out, you something befitting a man as awesome as I… was" Mr. D started crying "im sorry, you guys must miss him so much"
"This is getting sad" I said shaking my head at the crying guy on the computer screen.
"Is there a fast forward" Leo asked.
Chase started to scroll through "Yep there's chapters"
"Searching… searching… searching… stop! There, 'someone didn't listen and turned on the LEMP'" Leo read off the screen.
"well that was eerily specific" Chase remarked.
Mr. D showed up on the screen "Get into the middle capsule barefoot and press your hands against the cylinder. This connects a circuit, initiates a reboot, and will repair all the damage"
"Okay once I restore my settings we can get things back to normal before Tasha and Davenport get home, and they'll never know how thoroughly and completely you messed up" I'm pretty sure he was trying to point at Leo but he was off by a few inches.
I guided his hand to point at Leo "There you go"
"You messed up" Chase repeated.
I took Chase's hand and slowly piloted him to his capsule and closed the door. Once he was inside I stood on the other side of the consol by Leo.
Once the reboot was done Chase stumbled out of the capsule "So…?" Leo said waiting.
"Where am I? Who are you people?" he asked.
Leo groaned "great"
"Ha! Just kidding your turn" Chase said and walked over to us.
"Luck me wish" Leo pushed Adam away and he slipped off his shoes and got into the capsule.
I nudged Chase with my shoulder 'That wasn't funny" I muttered.
"It was funny and you know it" he said wrapping his arm around my waist.
Adam walked out of the capsule and smiled "Whoa! I think I'm okay, wait, my voice isn't coming out of my butt is it" Adam asked.
I laughed "he's back"
After we cleaned the lab we went upstairs and cleaned up the house while we waited for Bree to come back.
"Okay everything's cleaned up, now all we need is Bree" Leo said walking over to the couch.
Chase looked up from his laptop "No problem I'm tracking her right now. According to this she should be here in one minute"
Suddenly Bree super sped into the house holding a paper map "That took forever My phone died and I had to buy a map. A paper map! I mean, do you know how hard these things are to fold up?"
"A map? Didn't you get the coordinate I sent you?" Chase asked.
"What Coordinate? I didn't get any coordinate"
"Then what are you tracking" I asked Chase looking at his computer screen.
He shrugged "I don't know it's probably just a bird" There was loud beeping noise and a what looked to be a plane about the size of a table top came flying through the window. Chase pulled me behind him as the others ducked behind the couch.
"That is a lovely bird Chase, I especially love it's metal wings" I said sarcastically.
We all gathered around the thing "Guys this is one of Mr. Davenports drones. I must've sent it the coordinates instead of Bree" Chase said.
"oh yeah, a giant fling piece of metal and a teenage girl. I see how you can get that messed up" Leo said sarcastically.
"I messed it up because my vision was impaired by you. Nr. Touchy-stuffy mommy-misser" Chase snapped.
"Chase let's not play the blame game" Leo held a hand up to Chase's face.
Chase rolled his eyes "Guys this drone controls all of Mr. Davenports GPS technology, including the plane that he's flying on right now"
"What" Leo shouted "why would he keep the command center for all his technology flying around in the sky"
"Probably because you're down here" Chase said.
"Okay guys, we just need to fix it. Bree I need you to clean up the glass please, Leo go wait outside and keep a watch out for Tasha and Mr. D" they nodded and got to work. I turned to Chase "And you need to fix the drone"
Soon Chase and I got the drone fixed and handed it off to Adam.
"Okay that's the last of the broken glass" Bree told me.
I nodded "Alright Adam take this to the roof and launch it off, got it?" he nodded.
"Okay Chase hop on" I rolled my eyes at his comment "Get it, it's a joke because you're so tiny"
"Yet my brain is twice the size of yours" chase threw back. Adam tried to come up with a comeback but he was at a loss for words.
"Go!" I ordered and he ran out of the room.
Leo came running back in ""there are coming up the driveway! They are coming up the driveway"
Tasha and Mr. D walked back on and E appeared on the screen "You are on the list cupcake! You are on the list"
I gasped "Where were you? I was looking for you last night" I pointed at E.
H smiled "I stowed away on their tablet" then disappeared.
Mr. D looked around "Hey, what do you know the house is still in one piece"
"Welcome home Mommy" Leo walked forward and hugged Tasha.
"Okay" she said slowly "What are you guys up to"
"Just chillin'" Bree said "We didn't do anything. Nothing happened. Nothing at all. You two always so suspicious-"
"Okay Bree" I cut her off.
"Mmm, I don't smell anything a fire burning and no one's in a full body cast… Where's Adam?" Mr. D demanded.
"Adam? Uh Adam is…" Chase trailed off.
"Right here, warming up your welcome home hugs bring it in people" he gave them a quick hug before he came over to us.
"Well, I guess I we over reacted"
"Right. I will reschedule our flight to Australia. This time on a big plane with an actual pilot" There once again was loud beeping noise and the drone fell through the ceiling. "What is that?!"
"By the way you forgot to reset the Coordinates" Adam said to me and Chase.
"yeah, I got that" I whispered back.
"Coordinates! It looks like someone touched my stuff"
Leo looked to Tasha "Mommy" He said sheepishly.
Later on we were all down in the lab talking when Mr. D walked down " So nothing else happened while I was gone?"
"No just the drone thing" Adam said.
"Yep, just the drone thing" Chase repeated.
"Just the drone thing" Mr. D smiled "Hey anybody want to see a slide show"
"Is it Australia" Bree asked.
"No" Mr. D said and through it all he never stopped smiling it was really creepy. "It's my surveillance cameras that show everybody's movement throughout the entire house." He showed the first slide "Huh? I never thought of using my priceless guitar as a hammer." He showed the next slide "Hey I wonder what happens if I stick my head in here" And the next slide "Now that my hairs big I can get into all the rides" and the final slide "Here we are exploring the deep dark water of idiocy"
I looked at the monitor "I think I like the first slide the best"
"I think I like the slide were you are all grounded. Forever!" Mr. D then walked out laughing.
A little after we all got grounded everyone went upstairs except Chase and I. I walked over to where he was standing by the consol "So you really wouldn't want me to go on missions with you"
Chase looked at me and smiled "No, it's just I'd rather have you here where it's safer"
"It's cool" I brushed it off as I leaned against the consol "I probably wouldn't be able to concentrate on the mission anyways"
"Hmm? And why is that" he asked placing his hands on my waist.
"Its just you look so good in your mission suit" I wrapped my arms around his neck "And I wouldn't' be able to focus"
He smirked before he captured my lips with is. We stood there making out for felt like forever, time just flies when I'm with Chase. "Hay Cass- ahhh my eyes they burn" Leo shouted as he walked into the lab.
I broke the kiss and looked at Leo, he was scratching at his eyes "What do you want Leo"
"I was just going to see if you guys want some pizza, but you can have mine I just lost my appetite" I rolled my eyes as Leo left the lab.
"Come on Chase" I started to walk away.
Chase grabbed my hand and pulled me back "Why can't we just stay down and finish what we started."
"Because" I started to pull him to the doors "Although I love you, pizza's life"
"Infinity time infinity?" Chase asked. It's what we say when one of us says I love you.
"Infinity times infinity" I gave him one more kiss before we walked up to the kitchen.
