A fly buzzed around Bree and she swats at it. "What is that?"

"Bree, relax. It's just a fly," Chase said.

"Well, why is it bothering me when the foul, ripe stench of Adam is right there?" Bree gestured at her older brother.

"Lucky undies," Adam said. "Nine days in a row, and no lighting strikes—that's science."

The fly continued to fly around Bree and Leo walked in laughing. "You look ridiculous," he said.

"Well, yeah, so would you if you had some flying thing attacking you," Bree said.

Leo pressed his watch and the buzzing stopped. "Would I?" he asked as the fly landed in his hand.

"How'd you do that?"

"I talk to insects. They call me the fly whisperer."

"You can talk to flies?" Adam asked. "Ask him why bees are such jerks."

Chase grabbed the miniature capsule out of Leo's bag. "Guys, Leo's messing with you," he said. "That's Mr. Davenport's spy fly, he designed it for recon missions. You see, the fly's head is a tiny camera. Leo's controlling the entire thing with a trackball on this watch."

"Is there anything you don't ruin?" Leo asked.

"Nope," Chase said.

"Leo, I don't think Mr. Davenport would approve of you using his expensive gadgets as toys," Chelsea said.

"Well, then, he shouldn't have gone to Rock 'N Roll Fantasy Camp. Hello! You're almost forty! You can't rock, and you're no one's fantasy."

"Can I see it?" Bree asked.

"Back off, handsy," Leo said. "It needs to charge in its fly hive. I used it all night."

"Wait. You spent all night playing with that stupid thing?"

"Well, half the night. I spent the other half editing the footage."

"What footage?"

"Well, now that you've asked... I give you the best... of Bree." Leo plays a video of Bree sleeping on the screen. There are various shots of her snoring, drooling, and kissing the wall of his capsule. Adam, Chase, and Leo start laughing. Chelsea snickered a little, trying to hold back her laugh.

"I can't believe you, Leo!" Bree said.

"Hey, it's not my fault you sleep ugly," Leo said.

Leo continued to torment Bree with the electronic fly, now in the main school hallway.

"Would you cut it out?! I cannot believe you brought Davenport's fly to school. Now I have two little pests following me around," Bree said.
