"Guess who?" Two warm hands cover my eyes.

"Chase." I smile. I hear him laugh behind me as he uncovers my eyes. A piece of mistletoe is dangling in front of me. What is it with us and mistletoe? Are we really that PDA-ish?

"Merry Christmas, Mel." He says, spinning me around so we are face to face.

"You sneaky dog, you." I say and snatch the mistletoe from his grasp, give him a quick peck on the lips, and run away.

"Mel!" He yells in surprise.

"You can't catch me! You might be bionic, but you lack the super speed of your sister and the running ability of average, normal humans." I say, running around the lab. Bree, Adam and Leo hear this and laugh.

"I'm not THAT unathletic."

"Yes." Adam says. "You are."

"Come on, Chase. Run faster! You're so slow!" Bree yells.

"That's easy for you to say!" Chase exclaims. "You have super speed."

"Yeah, but I don't! I have no bionics at all and I'm waay faster than you!" I laugh. Just then, the chair in front of me falls over and I stop. Chase grabs my hand and laughs. "You did that? You turd!"

Chase laughs and taps his head. "I wouldn't trade this for superspeed, ever." He eyes the mistletoe and I stuff it in my back pocket.

"You wouldn't dare." I say.

"Try me." He says mischievously.

"Chase Davenport!" I take out the mistletoe and hand it to him. "I don't want your nasty old mistletoe."

"I wasn't gonna actually do that, Mel. I just knew you'd give it to me if I said so."

"You! You sneaky dog, you!"

"That's the second time you've said that to me in like 3 minutes."

"That's because that's what you are!"

"Oookay." He says, rolling his eyes.

Just then, an alarm goes off in the lab. Mr. Davenport and my dad are rushing out of the elevator. "Suit up, guys. There's a mission."

"But it's Christmas!" Adam whines.

"Adam..." Mr. Davenport sighs. "No time for foolery now. There's a family stranded up in the mountains and the snow's blowing like a tornado on steroids."

"A Christmas tornado on steroids." Adam clarifies.

"Thank you, Adam. That was great." Chase yells at his brother.

"Anyway, it could avalanche up there at any moment, so be careful. Even your bionics can't very well protect you from a tumbling ball of snow. Be safe, guys."

"Be safe!" Dad, Leo and I echo.

"We will." Chase says. He's about to give me a hug, but then before I can even count to three, all three siblings are in their uniforms and heading out for their mission.

I sit down and twirl the mistletoe in my hand.

I never even got to kiss Chase goodbye.

*****

Tada! I had to put another dangerous mission out there for you guys! I couldn't very well just end the story where it was, now could I?

*mischievously grins like I've got a secret because I do*

Adios mis amigos!

- Mi nombre es Grace.

Y tu?

PS: Tell me if you know what all that Spanish mumbo jumbo meant. Cuz I do! ;)
