1. Chase?
I'm Samantha Spark, but please! Just call me Sam. And this is the crazy story about how everything happened. No.. that didn't sound right... This is Sam, and this is a story about me. Nope.... uhhh...

Well now you guys know that I suck at entries. But I'm going to be making a whole bunch anyway.

So back to what I’m doing now, I’m walking to the Davenports’ house, I know, walking. But I’m not old enough to drive and my dad dosen’t really drive me places. He actually isn’t even home he’s with   around often. When I reached the door I just opened it and walked in, I do that a lot. It drives Eddy crazy because I’m not technically part of the family, but he hates everyone so I don’t pay attention.

I was a few feet into the house and then rubbed my eyes. "Chase?"

Leo was in the corner near the door, his back pressed against the wall, Tasha and Mr. D were hiding behind the kitchen island with frying  pans, Bree and Adam were standing  near them, standing more still than was natural, I couldn't see them very well, they weren't close enough, but Chase's eyes were green and there was a box floating over Leo's head waiting to smash him.

Why are there so many moving boxes lately? Did something happen I didn't know about? And what is going on with Adam and Bree? What are they doing? Tasha and Mr. D aren't going to hurt them.. right? Is Chase controlling that box? He even looks cute doing... whatever this is. Sam! Get over it!

Sometimes I think really weird stuff... "What's going on in here?" I asked.

Mr. D, Leo and Tasha looked up. "Heelllp!" Leo yelled.

Bree was at my side in like two seconds flat, she went so fast I couldn't even see her move! Is this new? Bree can run that fast? I am so confused! She roughly grabbed onto my arm and sped me back to where she had been standing minutes before, while Adam slammed the door shut again.

"Bree, what is going on?" I asked, while Leo was yelling at Chase from his corner trying to keep him from smashing him. Bree remained motionless and didn't even glance at me. "It's not working!" Leo yelled.

"Keep trying!" Mr. D yelled back. "It's our only hope!"

"WHAT IS HAPPENING?" I asked again.

"We'll explain later," Mr. D glanced in my direction, before we all turned with worried glances to where Leo was ticking off all the things he'd done with Chase. "Or, when we won the Robot Smackdown!" Leo pulled out his phone and showed Chase a picture of them grinning with their winning robot.

Chase's eyes flickered and then went back to their normal blue color, and with a quick wave of his hand the box flew to the side and smashed. Am I dreaming? This isn't possible, right? Leo scrambled out of the way before Adam fired red lazers (from his eyes of all places, what is wrong with everyone???) towards Chase, while Bree suddenly let go of my arm and  blocked his route of escape.

Tasha quickly pulled me behind  the island next to her where we cautiously peeked out.

I covered my mouth with my hands, is Adam going to hurt Chase? Honestly I'm a little surprised I haven't fainted yet. To my relief and surprise Chase quickly created a force field that kept the lazers away from his face. But still... are they doing ok? Am I ok? Or is this one of those super fancy video games Mr. D plays with us? But from the looks on Tasha and Mr. D's faces.. probably not

"I can't hold him off for much longer!" Chase yelled towards Mr. D.

"What about what you did to Chase?" Tasha suggested to Mr. D.

"But it takes time to convince them out of the Triton app," Mr. D shook his head. "Douglas is going to make this harder than it was with Chase."

"Use the override app!" Leo yelled to Chase.

Mr. D was quick to protest. "But using two apps at the same time is dangerous!"

I stuck my head up above the island like everyone else. "What are we talking about? What app?"

"Sam?" Chase glanced in my direction. Apparently he hadn't noticed that I had been there like the entire time. Boys. "Not helping!" Mr. D reminded everyone.

"I've done it before," Chase argued. "I can try to do it again."

"Alright..." Mr. D looked worried. "Be careful!"

I ducked back behind the island when Bree glanced in our direction, Mr. D, Leo, Tasha and I waited behind the island holding our breath for a few long drawn out moments. When I glanced out again Bree was laying on the floor and looked unconscious, and seconds later Adam was too.

We finally came out from behind the island, and Mr. D rushed to help Chase who tried to take a staggering step. Wait.. haven't I seen this before...

"Are you alright sweetie?" Tasha helped me take a seat on the couch.

"What was that?" I asked, hoping I looked less freaked out that I felt.

"Well..." Mr. D seemed unsure what to say. "You'll have to promise you won't tell anyone what you saw."

2. They're Bionic
nodded. It’s not really like I have anybody else to tell anyway, with dad out and all. “It’s hard to explain…” Mr. D considered what to say.

“It’s really not.” Leo rolled his eyes. “Adam, Bree, and Chase are bionic and they have an evil guy named Douglas who happens to be his brother,” Leo pointed to Mr. D. “Who is using a thing called the Triton app to control their bionics.”

“Donald what are we going to do about this?” Tasha asked.

We all looked at Mr. D who looked very serious all of a sudden. “Chase and I can delete the app, but I’m not sure how long we have until Douglas tries something…”

Adam and Bree were starting to wake up, and Tasha got up and started work on unboxing everything. I wasn’t quite sure what to do so I just sat there. “So…” Leo glanced at my face. “How ya doin’?”

I can only assume I look terrified, which is I guess what they expected. What would you think if you walked into your friend’s house and had a near to death situation? “You’re just used too this?” I asked.

Leo shrugged. “You should see their bionic bowling when you get the chance!”

“The what?”

Bree rolled her eyes. “It’s just a game the boys play in the lab- I mean…”

“She knows.” Leo told her.

“How?” Bree asked.

“Well let’s see,” I said sarcastically. “You were pulling on my arm while speeding, that seems pretty obvious to me!”

“I didn’t do that..” Bree looked confused. Who knows how long it’ll take to explain this over again! I stayed at their house for a few more hours before heading home and going to bed, hoping tomorrow would go better.

3. Principle Perry
When I woke up that morning everything was like it should be. My room was clean, the house was empty, there was no car in the driveway, dad was at his work facility someplace, and I had exactly three hours to get to school.

After laying in my bed for another fifteen minutes after I’d woken up I finally remembered what happened yesterday. Right. Maybe it was just a dream… hopefully…

At seven thirty I shoved my homework into my bag and started on the short walk to school, wondering how my friends would act at school around me. Or are we still friends? Why is hanging out with other people so hard! Oh sure it starts out great, the next thing you know they’re bionic and have crazy people coming after them!

I walked into the building a few minutes early and headed to my locker for my textbooks. “Morning losers!” Principle Perry made her way out of her office. “Just a reminder for the day, no smiling, no laughing, and no having fun!” Then she smiled really big and threw her clipboard at one of her lunch ladies, who are like her police officers or something. “Well! I’m off to wait in line for the all new kitty litter!”

And just like that she walked right out of her school like she didn’t have a job there. Who knows why she didn’t get fired years ago! Actually I don’t want to know… Everyone started back to their lockers, I had nothing better to do so I just glanced at my phone a couple times. “Hey Sam!” Bree came up behind me making me jump. “Sorry… So anyway, we never got to our project yesterday.”

“I’m not really sure we have time to get it done…” I frowned.

“It’ll be easy, you can just tell me what you want on it and we’ll be done in like five seconds!” Bree smiled brightly. So it wasn’t just a dream last night.

“Are you sure?” I asked.

She nodded. “I’ve set up 5,000 dominoes in 20 seconds.”

“I still don’t know…” I said uncertainly.

“Is everything ok?” She asked looking concerned.

“No.” I shook my head.

“Is this about the…” She lowered her voice to a whisper. “Bionics?”

“Look, I just don’t feel comfortable around you guys…” Then I turned and headed for my classroom almost five minutes early. It’s not like I dislike them… they’re actually the only friends I have. But I just don’t’ know… it’s weird… I’m almost afraid of them…

4. Absolute Boredom
That weekend I had nothing to do. With dad never being home these days I was all alone in the house Friday night. I laid in my bed for almost a whole hour before getting up on Saturday morning, I was still upset about Adam, Bree, Chase and Leo. Although I guess there isn’t anything different about Leo…

When I glanced out the window, there was no car in the driveway, as always. I had breakfast, laid around the house trying to find something productive to do since I’d already done my homework.

Later that night after hours and hours of nothing, I was sitting on the couch trying to read one of dad’s boring old books about ‘The Structure Of DNA And Computer Chips Collide’, it’s a very boring book, and I actually enjoy science.

I heard the door open around 6:47 PM, and I turned around too see a man with spikey brown hair walk in, holding a brown paper bag. My dad. With Chinese food. Again? Every time he shows up, which is just enough to make sure the neighbors don’t know I basically live alone, he brings Chinese food, and I am starting to get sick of it.

“Chinese again?” I groaned.

My dad looked annoyed. “Hello too you too Sam.”

“You can just take that with you tomorrow!” I snapped. “Because I’m not in the mood.”

He began pulling everything out and painstakingly eating it right in front of me, without even noticing I was there. “Seriously?” I asked.

“What?” He looked up.

I rolled my eyes. “Never mind.”

“What’s with the attitude?” He asked. “Usually you’re excited to see me! What’s going on Sam?”

That was an overstatement. Usually I’m trying to be nice around him, but it dosen’t always work. You try talking to the man who is your “father” but dosen’t pay attention to you at all, and leaves you alone in a house to take care of yourself half the time and see how it works out for you!

“Sam?” He asked again.

I sighed. It dosen’t’ take much to get me to talk… “I lost my friends at school.”

“Why would you care about that?” He asked carelessly.

“Because they’re the only friends I have, and I liked hanging out with them,” I sometimes have to explain things too him that I shouldn’t have to, like friends and things like that. “And plus I’m still stuck with Bree as my partner for the science project.”

“Wait…” What made him so interested in this all of a sudden? “Bree, like Bree Davenport?”

I nodded. “Why?”

“They go to your school?” He asked.

“Yeah.” I nodded again. “Why do you care?”

“Because…” He said slowly. “They’re my kids.”

“What?” My dad is terrible at lying, at least too me he is anyway, he didn’t seem like he was lying, but I seriously don’t believe him. That dosen’t make any sense.

“You see…” He began another long monologue, something he’s been into ever since he got the “evil science” obsession. “Donald is my older brother, and I was a part of their little operation until Donald kicked me off the team!”

“That’s where you got all the “evil science” ideas from?” I still really don’t believe him.

“No!” He defended himself. “Ok… maybe…” He admitted.

I rolled my eyes. “I don’t believe you.”

“I have proof!” Dad announced. He got up and left the room, and for a few seconds I had peace and quiet again. He came back carrying an old photo that was probably from the 1980s with two boys grinning at the camera. “That’s me, the handsome one,” He pointed to the smaller boy. “And that’s Donnie, the weirder one.” Well then I guess talking big about yourself runs in the family because Mr. D dose it all the time.

I squinted at the picture. The smaller boy did look a lot like dad… And the taller one was definatly Mr. D…. “Wait so that means… they’re my siblings?”

“No,” Dad scoffed. “I have no idea who you’re related too!”

“What!” I yelled.

“Well yeah!” He shrugged. “You and your brother Marcus were just under my custody.”

“Hold on! I’m adopted?! And you didn’t tell me this before?” I can’t believe him! First he basically abandons me, and then I’m not even related too him and I have no idea! Well I guess that makes sense considering the way I get treated around here! “Mhm.” He nodded like it wasn’t a big deal. “Well I mean technically Marcus was my son since he was a robot and all but-”

“And you made a robot son?” Why? Just why? I don’t get it!

“What else was I supposed to do?” He asked. “I wanted to test out my updated backup bionic chip, before copying it and putting it in a human. So I didn’t kill you, are you happy?”

“Why would you… kill me…?” I asked carefully.

“Not on purpose, I don’t just kill children!” He laughed. “But when I implanted Adam, Bree and Chase’s chips I didn’t test them after trying to remove the glitches, and it didn’t work. Since Marcus wouldn’t last past 16, which I knew since I’m such a genious, I was only planning on using him as a test for you, but I ended up keeping him and not turning you on. And then-”

My mouth fell open, and he stopped. What is wrong with him? Why? “How did you even get custody of me if you were only going to use me on a science experiment?!”

He looked a little taken aback by my reaction, “You don’t wanna know.”

“But back to the task at hand,” He changed the subject. “I need you help.”

“Why should I help you?” I folded my arms.

“Well for one thing I fed and clothed you,” He did have a point… “And you won’t be afraid of Adam, Bree, and Chase.”

“What do you want me to do?” I asked.

“Listen closely,” He began.

And that’s how things started…

5. Plan In Motion
Sunday flew by quickly, Dad stayed a bit longer to show me a few things before hurrying back to a secret location to work with his boss.

Monday morning I got up as usual, and made my way to school. This time I barely made it before Principle Perry made her morning announcements, and she seemed too be in a mood worse than her usual self. “Alright dorks!” Principle Perry growled. “Get to class! And if the police come looking for me, don’t tell them I’m in the storage room!”

I was quick to ignore that statement, like I’ve already said, it’s a wonder she hasn’t been fired. I grabbed my books from my locker and then approached Bree. “I thought you said you didn’t want to hang out anymore…” Bree asked.

“Well…” I glanced at my shoes. “I changed my mind. Just because you’re bion- different dosen’t mean we can’t be friends.”

Bree smiled. “It’s good to have you back Sam! But what are we going to do about the project? It’s due tomorrow?”

“I think we can figure something I out,” I assured her. “But right now I have too get to class, later?”

“Later.” Bree agreed, before heading for her classroom.

6. Mission: Warehouse
Everything got back to normal, Bree and I got a B- on our science project, and I was able to sort of be around my friends again without freaking out. So what if they’re bionic and some creepy guy could have control over them at any time right…. Ok that dosen’t sound good…

Mr. Davenport had gotten a new project to begin gaining back his fortune that was destroyed, and had already rebuilt the lab with some upgrades. I hadn’t seen the original one, but this place is amazing! And explains how Bree never let me go in her room, she had never had one!

I was chilling in the lab with everyone, writing in you actually, probably chapter three or something… I don’t remember. “Gear up,” Mr. D came into the lab carrying a tablet. “There’s another mission alert, there’s a warehouse storage facility being used by a group of scientists that got trapped inside and-”

Leo interrupted. “I’m the mission specialist, I can handle this.” Mr. D stopped talking and let Leo finish. “A warehouse storage facility being used by scientists that got trapped inside.” Leo repeated what Mr. D had said, making Mr. D roll his eyes.

“It’s located at 413535353 Carver street,” Mr. D continued. “I would give you guys the building’s layout, but it’s surrounded by led from the inside and none of my satellites or drones have been able too scan it, so it will be slightly more complicated.”

“Hey I recognize that address!” I had meant to just think that, but I do! It used to belong to my dad before he lost all his properties and money and had to team up with his current boss. “My dad used to own that building, maybe I can tell you how to get in from my phone?”

“We can’t get signal inside, the led will block it.” Chase shook his head.

Mr. D looked like he was considering something for a few minutes. “Sam… I know it’s a lot to ask, and it’s dangerous, but people were locked inside of the building by someone and it’s likely they don’t have much longer to live, they can’t waste their time trying to find the room, can you get them in there?”

I bit my lip. I do remember how to get around, when I was a kid dad took me in everyday and randomly let me run around in the building, I could certainly get them in… but if someone was behind locking everyone up in there… and was going to kill them… if I got separated from Adam, Bree, and Chase I’d be toast. But people were dying in there… “I’ll do it.” I finally agreed.
