"Listen up, spacefillers! This is Emergency Preparedness Week. An emergency drill can happen at any time. So when the alarm sounds, you must evacuate the building in an orderly fashion—Like cattle, if cattle had acne... and braces... and a future filling up my gas tank," Perry laughed and walked away.

"Oh, man! I wish I had Bree's super-speed! Because you do not want to be stuck walking behind cows in an emergency, trust me on that!" Adam said and sighed.

"You would trade your super-strength for Bree's super-speed?" Chase said. "Man, if I had your strength, I'd just run out of the building juggling those cows."

"Yeah, and if I had your super-intelligence, I'd have walked away from this conversation thirty seconds ago," Bree said.

"Hey, you know what would be awesome? If you guys took out your bionic chips and switched your abilities!" Leo said.

"Why can't we?!" Chase asked.

"Because it's a bad idea," Chelsea said but was ignored.

"I call your super-smarts!" Bree said, pointing at Chase.

"I call your super-speed!" Adam said.

"I call your super-strength!" Chase said.

"I call good looks and charisma! Oh, too late. Already got 'em," Leo said.

"I call not getting in trouble when Mr. Davenport inevitably finds out," Chelsea said somewhat sarcastically.

—----

"If you guys are gonna switch your chips before school, don't you think you should run this by Davenport first?" Leo asked.

"They're our chips," Bree shrugged.

"Well, yeah, but what if something glitches out and you end up with Adam's gigantic head on Chase's tiny, doll-like body?"

"We don't have to ask 'Daddy' for permission on every single thing we do."

"Yeah. I mean, do you think I ask Davenport which shoe goes on which foot? No!" Adam said. "I label them 'left' and 'not left'."

"Okay, Bree. Attach the chip extractors to the capsules. I'll program the computer for chip removal. And Adam, you... Jus-Just get in your capsule," Chase said.

"Whoo!"

"Chelsea just has to press the button-"

"Nope," Chelsea said, shaking her head and putting her hands up. "I'm not being part of this."

"Okay..." Chase trailed off and turned to Leo. "Then, Leo, I have the most important job of all for you. Now, once we get inside, I'm going to need you to push... this green button."

"Yeah. And then I'll push the button that makes you stop talking to me like I'm five," Leo said. Adam, Bree, and Chase got in their capsules and Leo pushed the button. Whooshing and beeping are heard as their chips are switched.
