Ok here's yet another one-shot. This one is mainly about stealing and honesty. Cheesy, but hey. Good lesson for a 10 year old. Oh and once again, this takes place during season 2.
-iThief-
"Come and get it ladies and gentlemen! The new iphone! On sale now at your local tech store!"
The Davenports were watching tv, when that commercial came on.
"Can we get them!?" Bree asked. "No. You all have perfectly good phones." Tasha said. Everyone just sighed. They were like most kids who wanted the next best phone.
"come on...their on sale!" Davis said. Everyone looked at him.
"Okay, If their not getting new phones, than a 10 year old getting a new phone is out of the question" Davenport said.
Davis sat back. "Fine..." He said annoyed. Everyone got bored and walked down to the lab.
The kids were sitting in the lab. "I can't believe Davenport wont let us get the new phone. He's got tons of money" Bree said. They were all pretty upset. And who wouldn't be? That new phone had a holographic keyboard and retina display!
"Yeah" Leo said. Suddenly Davis's phone started ringing.
Davis's P.O.V
We were all pretty mad that Dad and Tasha wont let us get the new iphone. Bree was right. Dad has tons of money but he cant spend like...lets see here 200 times 5 equals...$1000. Yeah he cant spend a thousand dollars on new phones for us?
My old piece of junk phone started ringing.
"Hello"
"Hey, Davis. My Mom's going to the store to get our new iphone. You wanna come?"
"Sure but my Dad said I cant get a new phone"
"What? Your Dads filthy stinkin rich."
"I know. He's just cheap"
"Ok. We're on our way to get you"
"K see ya"
"bye"
I hung up. "Who was it?" Leo asked. "Josh. His Mom's taking him to go get a new phone. THE new iphone" Davis said angrily. Everyone just looked mad.
"Seriously?" Bree said. "Yeah. But Im going with him so...SEE YA!" I said. I bolted upstairs and to the front door.
I ran into Dad upstairs. "Where are you going?" Dad asked.
"Im going wiht Josh to get his new phone" I said. He just nodded. "Alright. Bring your backpack. Tasha and I have a date later so you can just stay over at Josh's house and we'll pick you up afterwards." Dad said.
"Actually Josh can just drop me off after we're done." I said. He nodded
"Well have fun" He said. I ran out the door and into the car.
-At the store-
Josh and I were walking around the store trying to find the phone he wanted. He was taking FOREVER!
"It's not that hard Josh. Just pick one. There's only 2 different designs. One is bigger and one is smaller. They're both black." I said. He rolled his eyes and grabbed the new iphone.
"There. I choose this one" He said. "Good." I said. We were about to walk off when we backed into this one guy and I backed into the shelf. I think a couple phones fell but I didn't see any on the floor.
"Sorry" I said. "Its fine.' He said. We all went our seperate ways and checked out. They got rid of those check out scanner things at the entrance because somebody broke them.
We left and got in the car. "Mom can I hang out at Davis's house?" He asked. See we've been best friends since like...kindergarten. So now we just flat out tell eachother we're coming over.
"Sure. Davis is that ok?" She asked. "Yeah" I said. We got home and Josh and I got to my front door.
I pulle dout my phone to check the time. "I thought your phone was in your backpack" Josh said. Why would he think that?
"No. Why?" I asked. He just pointed to my backpack. I checked inside and found the new iphone. My eyes widened.
"Why'd you take my phone?!" Josh asked angrily. He checked his pocket and found his phone. "Wait if this is my phone, than who's is that?" He asked. I just looked at it and then...LIGHTBULB!
"It must've fallen when I hit the shelf" I said. Josh just looked at me. "Sure...Because you want nothing to do with that new phone.." He said skeptically.
"Wait. You think I purposly stole this?" I asked. Was he seriosuly accusing me of stealing?
"Well. You had the motive. And the equipment, not to mention the perfect cover up" He said. His eyes narrowed.
"yeah but I wouldn't steal it!" I said angrily.
"Ok well how are you going to explain it to your parents?" He asked me.
"I'll just tell them what happened" I said. He rolled his eyes.
"Well tell your siblings. They might help you take the phone back" Josh said. He had a point. Bree could super speed across the store and put it back.
"But wait. They won't believe me." I said. He nodded in agreement. As I held the phone, I realised something.
"Maybe I could hold on to this for the weekend. You knwo until the store opens on monday" I said. He looked at me. "really?" He asked. "Yeah, It's not stealing if I take it back and not get any pleasure out of it" I said.
"If you say so. See you later" He said. I nodded and walked inside. Dad and Tasha were sitting in front of the tv looking pretty mad.
"Hey guys. Whats going on?" I asked.
"Some jerk stole an iphone from the store? It was this limited edition platinum phone." Dad said. The phone that fell in my backpack was platinum. Oh boy.
"Oh well you see.." I started. "The nerve of some people. I swear that must've been one of the most indescent disgrace for any family. That phone was going to be sold for an orphanage." Tasha said. OH COME ON!Any time anyone steals something, it's for charity.
"Davis did you see who did it?" Dad asked. "I-I Don't K-Know" I said. He looked at me weird.
"Donald, don't interigate a child" Tasha said. Thanky you Tasha. "Sweety, did you see anything?" She asked sweetly. "Nope. Nothing. Josh and I were on the other side of the store when it happened." I said. they both nodded. I can't tell them that I stole It or borrowed it or whatever! They'll be so disapointed. I walked down to the lab to find Leo playing a game.
"Hey Leo" I said. "Hey. Did you hear about that one guy who stole that charity iphone?" He asked. "Nope" I said while walking past him.
Suddenly Adam jumped in front of me with a scream mask on.
"AHH!" I said. Adam took off the mask. "Ha. Soemones jumpy." Adam said. "Wow. Someones stupid!" I said angrily. He just stood infornt of me. "Excuse me?" He siad. When I get mad, like most kids I lash out.
"Sorry. Im just stressed ok" I said. chase walked in.
"Hey did you hear about the guy who stole the i-" I cut him off.
"YES WE ALL HEARD ABOUT IT! THERE'S OTHER THINGS HAPPENING IN THE WORLD PEOPLE!" I yelled. He just stood there shocked.
"Well yeah, but it was for charity" He said. Adam and Leo went upstairs when I started yelling, thinking I was going to do it again.
"I know. I heard" I said a little annoyed. "Whats your problem?" He asked me. "Nothing!" I snapped. He just stepped back.
"Really, because if I didn't know any better I'd say that..you..." He was saying but stopped when he began to figure it out.
"You stole the phone?" He asked. "Whaaaaat? No. I would never do that" I said nervously. I turned around and he used his molecular kinesis on my backpack.
"Hey!" I said. He went through it and found the phone.
"Oh my gosh. You really did steal it" He said. I just stepped back as he approached me.
"Why would yuo do that? You know better than that!" Chase said sternly.
"I-I know but.." I started. He just looked at me in disbelief. "Wow. Your trying to come up with excuses? You should be ashamed" He said.
"Im taking this to Davenport and Tasha. I can't believe you" He said. "Chase wait! I didnt mean to it just happened!" I said. He turned around. "Right...Why cant you just take responsiblity for your actions?" He asked. I shrugged.
"Im so disapointed in you" He said. He walked upstairs to go tell Dad and Tasha. I figured I'd better just go along with it and see what happens.
Chase's P.O.V
I can't believe Davis. He'd never do anything like that. When I got upstairs I found everybody else watching tv.
"Hey guys you need to see this" I said while holding up the phone.
"What?! Chase YOU stole it?" Davenport asked. "No! Davis did. I stole it from his backpack" I said. Davenport looked like he was getting pretty mad. And he should.
Davis came upstairs before Davenport could say anything else.
"Ok I know this looks bad but I can explain everything!" He said frantically. Davenport crossed his arms and glared at him.
"Right. Well go on. Explain" He said sternly. "Well. Josh and I backed into this one guy, which made me back into the shelf and I guess once I hit the shelf the phone fell in my backpack, which was open because I bought a pair of headphones" Davis said.
We all looked at him. "im sorry I didnt say anything earlier. I knew you guys would think I stole it, so I was going to take it back when the store opens on monday and explain everything to them." He continued.
"I guess that works. But you should've said something as soon as you found out" Tasha said. Davis just hung his head down in shame.
"I know. I just didn't want to get in trouble" He said. Davenport and Tasha just shook their heads and called the store.
Adam Bree and Leo got up. "So you didn't steal it?" Bree said, trying to clarify what's happened.
"Nope" Davis said. "Well next time,tell us if you 'accidentally' steal something.' I said while air qouting 'accidentaly'.
"I will." Davis said
Davis had to return the phone to the store that night. The store forgave him since they saw the footage on the camera. The charity got the money and bought a new vending machine. So Davis pretty much learned honesty and to not steal things.
Ok there's that chapter. Hope you enjoy this one!
