My Little Brother

"Ugh! Smells like something died in here." Adam said as he smelled his shoe. Then he looked inside the shoe. "Whoa! Something did die in here! Chase, look at this!" Adam said.

"No." Chase answered.

"Well, at least tell me if this is fur or mold." Adam said and held his shoe closer to Chase.

"No!" Chase said again. Adam tried to put his shoe on, but ended up ripping a hole right through with his foot. "Adam, what did you do to your shoe?" Chase asked.

"I guess I don't know my own strength. The same thing happened yesterday with my underwear. Ooh, that reminds me, I got you a new headband for gym class." Adam said. He tried to put an elastic waistband on Chase's head, who ripped it off in disgust.

"Man, Mr. Davenport warned us about this. As we get older, our chips have to be re-calibrated to adjust for our growth." Chase explained.

Adam laughed. "Oh, well, then your will never have to be adjusted. Cause your body doesn't grow, get it? I'm saying you're small." Adam said.

"I get it! When Mr. Davenport gets back, he can re-calibrate your super strength. Toss me my backpack." Chase said. Adam threw Chase's backpack, but it slammed into the lab doors, going through them. "Or we could do it now. Quick, get in your capsule." Chase said.

"Ah, but I like being ridiculously strong. I'm like King Kong without the little lady in his hand. Go ahead, Chase, jump in." Adam said, extending his hand out.

"Go!" Chase said.

"Fine." Adam groaned and walked into his capsule as Chase walked over to the console.

"All right, let's see, Adam's size parameters. Six-one, hundred and seventy-five pounds." Chase said as he entered the information into the console.

"Make it a hundred and eighty. Had a big breakfast." Adam said from inside his capsule.

"Since your strength has intensified, I'm gonna dial it back from and 8 to a 6." Chase explained.

"Hold on, you can adjust my strength?" Adam asked. Chase nodded in response. "Well, don't dial me down, make me a 10!" Adam said.

"No way. That would be like giving a stick of dynamite to a... well, you." Chase said. He then pressed a button on the console making a light go off in Adam's capsule. "There. Done. Now hurry. We're gonna be late for school." Chase said and ran out of the lab.

"Uh, yeah, I'll be right there! I just have to... not do something for a minute." Adam said. He pressed a button on the console and got back into his capsule, making the light flash again. Adam then stepped out of the capsule, shattering the door in the process. "I can't wait to see if it worked!" Adam beamed.

"Man, I always get stuck with the wobbly chair." Chase said as he and Adam were getting their food from the cafeteria.

"Here, let me fix it. Hold my tray." Adam said. He then gave the tray to Chase and went to fix the chair, but accidentally ripped the back of the chair off with his super strength.

"Adam!" Chase said, through gritted teeth. "Budget cuts, am I right? The evidence is all around us, people." Chase said to some students that looked at them. Then he turned his attention back to Adam. "You maxed out your super strength, didn't you?"

"Of course I did, look who you're talking to." Adam said.

"This is so dangerous. You can't control your strength, and it could cause a ton of glitches. We have to change you back, now!" Chase said.

"Calm down, you're overreacting." Adam said. He set his tray down on the table, making it collapse. "Okay, you can dial me down to a 9." Adam said.

"Morning, oxygen hogs! Time for another surprise locker inspetion! Why, you ask? The superintendent says that if I'm gonna accuse you little criminals of doing stuff, I need 'evidence'. Lindsey, you're up." Perry said and started going through the locker. "Stuffed animal? What is this your prom date?" Perry asked and threw the stuffed animal across the hall. "Makeup? You've already lost that battle, sweetheart." Perry said and also threw the makeup bag across the hall.
