Lab Rats: Soreese's Life

Season 1, episode 8: Bionic Birthday Fail

Third person POV

We open in a deserted lot.
"Guys, I have a bad feeling. Let's get out of here," Bree says.
Rebel opposers appear, and Adam, Bree, Soreese, and Chase start fighting them.
Soreese uses her ice breath to freeze an opponent.
"Nice work, Soreese," Chase says.
Then, Adam sends one guy flying through the air, ending the fight.
"Aaaah!" the rebel leader exclaims as he flies through the air.
An alarm sounds and Adam, Bree, Soreese, and Chase are revealed to be in a training simulator in the lab.
"Adam, that was the Rebel Leader. The whole purpose of today's mission simulation was to interrogate him," Donald scolds Adam.
"I did, and his answer was, 'Aaaaah!'" Adam replies.
"Hey, next time, could you maybe throw in a cute, blue-eyed rebel? What? I'm just sayin'. It's not gonna kill you to add a little somethin'-somethin' for the ladies," Bree adds.
Soreese rolls her eyes.
"Step aside, amateurs," Leo says, grabbing a pair of googles. "Go ahead, Big D. Set it to 'awesome.'"
"Leo, these goggles are not a toy," Donald says.
"Come on! My birthday's coming up-Globally known as 'Dia De Leo,'" Leo pleads.
"No. I designed the mission simulator to fine-tune their bionics, not to go on 3-D joyrides. Besides, you're not trained for it," Donald tells Leo.
"Sorry, Leo," Soreese whispers.
Leo ignores her and asks Donald, "Well, how about as a birthday gift you give me a bionic ability?"
"Or I could gift-wrap reality, and you could play with that for a while," Donald retorts.
"So Leo's having a birthday. What are you, like, nine?" Chase jokes.
"Fourteen," Leo answers truthfully.
"No, seriously," Chase laughs.
Soreese sighs. Sometimes, she wonders how her birth parents chose the Davenports for her to grow up with.
"So how are you gonna celebrate?" Bree asks.
"We're all going to celebrate. Every year, my mom throws me a big surprise party," Leo says.
"Really?" Adam asks.
"Last year, she baked a cake the size of me. I'm not gonna brag, but I was delicious," Leo explains.

**Later, in the lab**

"Guess what? I just found out that I won an award for my undercover reporting on expired produce: 'Something In The Crisper Can Kill You,'" Tasha says.
"Congratulations! That's so great!" Donald exclaims.
"Oh, thank you. But the awards banquet is the same night as Leo's birthday. I'm sorry, honey. I'm gonna miss it. If I don't show up, I'm afraid that they're gonna give my award to that overdramatic screen hog Linda Montieres," Tasha says in reply.
"It's okay, Mom. Go have fun. You deserve it," Leo says as Bree grabs him and pulls him aside. "He-ey."
"I thought she was gonna throw you a party. I was promised a party!" Bree says.
"Every year, she comes up with this lame excuse to make me think she's not throwing me a party. Award? Please. Have you seen her reporting?" Leo explains.
"Leo, are you sure you're not mad? We've never been apart on your birthday," Tasha says, coming over.
"Oh, please! He'll have plenty of birthdays, but who knows if you'll ever win anything again," Adam says.
Soreese groans under her breath. Adam can have nooo filter sometimes.
"Mom, go get your award," Leo says, coughing. "Chocolate frosting!"
"I promise we will celebrate the following night," Tasha tells Leo.
"Hey, why haven't we ever had a birthday party?" Bree asks.
"Donald! You never celebrated their birthdays?" Tasha exclaims.
"Of course, I celebrated their birthdays. Remember when we-No, when we went to the-Yeah, I never celebrated their birthdays," Donald replies.
"Did you also eat all the cookies before Santa came down the chimney?" Tasha retorts.
"What's Santa?" Bree asks.
"Oh, come on!" Tasha exclaims.
"And why would you give them cookies?" Donald says.
Donald and Tasha leave.
"This is going to be the best birthday ever. The size of the party is equal to the size of the excuse. I'm gonna go work on my surprised face," Leo says.
Leo puts on a surprised face and then leaves.
"I'm going to go horseback riding," Soreese says. "See you guys later!"
Soreese leaves.
"Whoo-hoo! Leo's having a surprise party!" Adam says excitedly.
"Adam, if Leo was having a surprise party, don't you think we'd be invited?" Chase tells his brother.
"Yeah, you're right. Who does Tasha think she is not inviting us?" Adam replies.
"No. Tasha and Davenport really are going to an awards ceremony. This is horrible. Leo's gonna be so disappointed," Bree says.
"Unless we throw him a surprise party and invite everyone from school," Chase says, coming up with an idea.
"Well, what do we know about throwing a surprise party?" Bree replies.
"Well, if it was me, I'd want a bouncy house. And a piñata. Wait. And a clown. No, wait. Put the piñata on the clown, in the bouncy house, and hit everything at once. Candy's bound to come out of somewhere," Adam says in reply.
"Whoa! Let's invite Glitterhead! You know that internet star who sings her songs in sign language. You might have heard of her latest CD-- 'Talk to the hand,'" Bree replies.
"No, no, no. Leo would want something cool at his party, like those sci-fi mutants from his favorite television show. Shark Man! And Flipper Boy!" Chase exclaims.
"That's your favorite TV show," Adam says.
"It could be his also," Chase retorts.
"Ya know, Leo's a great brother. Why don't we just give him all three?" Bree says.
"Whoo-hoo! Yeah! We're havin' a party! Leo's gonna be so surprised. I'm gonna go tell him," Adam replies.
Adam starts to walk out.
"Adam," Chase says, stopping his brother in his tracks.
"Oh, right. Well, I'm going to go tell Leo he's not having a surprise party. That was close. He almost found out," Adam says in reply.
Adam leaves, and Bree and Chase run after him.
