"Come on Bree, we're going home now. Time to get your things out of your locker." Chase said.

"Yeah, it's not like we're waiting for you to open your locker or anything. I mean, open it." Adam said.

"Will you leave me alone? Can I go two minutes without you two hovering around me?" Bree asked, very annoyed with her brothers.

"Bree, with an attitude like that, it's a wonder that you don't get pranked more often." Adam said and was smacked on the arm by Chase. Both boys walked away, just as Cailtin walked up to Bree.

"Hey, Bree, you know how you've always said you wanted to work a part-time job with me?" Caitlin said.

"I never said that." Bree answered.

"Just agree with me, Bree. It'll be over quicker. Anyway, today's your lucky day because I just started my work study at Tech Town and they're hiring." Caitlin said.

"What's Tech Town?" Bree asked.

"Oh! It's only the most awesome store in the mall. They make you work weekends, but what do you have going on anyway?" Caitlin said.

Bree turned back to her locker. "I don't know if I wanna work at an electronics store." Bree said. She then tried to open her locker, only to find the handle covered with glue. "What the-"

"Aww." Both Adam and Chase said as they laughed, watching Bree pulled on her hand.

"Seriously? Glue?" Bree asked, looking at her brothers.

"That's quite the sticky situation you got there." Chase said, smiling.

"You know what Caitlin? If it gets me away from my two brothers, I would take a job as a lifeguard at a sewage plant." Bree said.

"So you're in?" Caitlin asked.

"Yeah!"

"Great! See you at the store. Oh, and Tech Town's a classy place, so leave the 'sewer' talk at school." Caitlin said and walked away.

Bree turned back to Adam and Chase. "Hey, dipwads. How do I get my hand loose?" She asked.

"Hmm. Not sure. But if you figure it out, let me know." Adam said waving his hand, which had a bottle of glue, a sock and a roll of tape stuck on it.

"Donald, sweetie, it's time to take me to the airport!" Tasha called as she walked across the living room.

"Yes! No Mom for two days!" Leo said as he and Jodie high-fived. Tasha looked at her children with an unamused look. "I mean, would the lady like a hand with her bags?" Leo said as he, Adam and Jodie got up to help Tasha.

"I think what he's trying to say is, it's more fun when you're not here." Adam said as the duo looked at him wide eyed.

"I'm only letting you three stay home from Grandma's because you promised to complete your list of chores." Tasha said handing the three teens a list each.

"Oh, I didn't ask to stay home from Grandma's. I find her delicate cabbage scent refreshing." Adam said.

"Tasha, why do you need all this luggage? You're only going to your mom's for two days." Donald said walking down the stairs.

"That isn't my suitcase." Tasha said, looking at the extra bag.

"Oh, that's mine." Adam said. The bag then opened and a pile of clothes fell out.

"Ohhhh!" The rest of them groaned.

"What died in there?" Jodie asked, forming a bubble around herself to keep the smell out.
