The first, however many chapters, were originally in my Lab Rats oneshot book. I decided to make it its own thing. I somewhat rewrote the chapter I already posted on that. If you already read them, you don't have to reread them, but I tried to make...

"So Chelsea, have you talked to Sam lately?" Bree asked as she came up to her sister in the kitchen.
"Not really. Sam's band has a concert in DC this weekend and hasn't been at school all week. They also have a concert in New York sometime next week, so they won't be back for another week," Chelsea said, grabbing a drink from the fridge.
"Sam's in a band?"

"Sam is non-binary," Chelsea said.
"Oh, okay," Davenport shrugged.
"Aw, Chelsea. I'm happy for you either way," Tasha said. "So tell me about this Sam."
Chelsea smiled. She and Tasha walked over to the couch to talk a little about Sam. She was just happy that her family was accepting of her.
