"Okay, guys

"Okay, guys. The next phase of your training is handling extreme climates. So we'll frost Chase, bake Bree, and submerge Adam." Donald explained to three bionic kids while pointing to each one when saying their names. "That's not part of the training, I just got one of those carnival dunk tanks and I can't wait to try it out." He laughed along with Chase as he went in the middle capsule.

"Okay, Chase, I'm setting your tube on 'Antarctic.' If it gets to be too much, just give me a sign." Donald explained to Chase waving his hands.

"Bring it!" Chase exclaimed, rather confident. "Hey, that's not fair. I want to be abused by weather." Leo whined.

"Leo, if you really want to be abused, try standing over here next to Adam's morning breath." Bree said to Leo.

"I don't have morning breath. It smells like that all day." Adam smiled. Gross.

"Leo, these guys are genetically engineered to handle these kinds of climates. You're not." He explained to Leo.

"I can handle extreme cold." Leo bragged.

"Leo, you get brain freeze from chewing mint gum." I told him while he glared at me. Just then Donald's cell phone rang.

"Davenport." He answered. "What?! Well, that's terrible! I mean, that's awesome," he paced as we followed him. "But that's terrible! I- I gotta do something."

"What's going on? What's so terrible?" asked Adam as Davenport hung up.

"I created the world's fastest train, but now it's speeding out of control full of highly explosive nuclonium towards downtown Welkerville!" Mr. Davenport explained.

"So what was the awesome part?" I asked with my arms crossed.

"It's going like 400 miles an hour." He smiled. Impressive.

"Ho ho ho ho!" Leo cheered.

"My entire career is riding or perhaps crashing on this train! I don't understand it! My design was flawless!" He tried figuring what went wrong on his computer.

"So flawless you forgot to include an emergency brake?" Leo asked him while I nodded in agreement.

"No. I never counted on the conductor dropping his papaya smoothie all over the controls and then jumping off the train."

I walked up to him and put my hand on his shoulder. "Well, as a scientist you gotta be prepared for anything, Big D."

"Well, if I were to build a high-speed train, the first thing I would have put in was a cup holder." Adam told us. "Oh! And one of those bumper stickers on the back that says, 'I brake for cows.'"

"When stuff like this happens, they always blame the scientist. This is human error. Scientists don't make mistakes." Donald huffed. We suddenly heard tapping noises behind us. It was Chase frozen in his capsule.
