Dedicated to: billyungerforlife

Marcus and Chase were in the lab later that night. “Chase?” Marcus asked his brother.

            “Yes?” he replied not looking up from the book he was reading.

            “Chase. You still mad bro?”

            “No, not really”

            “You sure?”

            “Yea”

            There was an awkward moment of silence. “What did you and dad talk about?” Marcus asked after a while.

            “He was saying that we are capable of holding more bionics and has been busy trying upgrade our chips. That’s why he has been under a lot of stress lately”

            “More bionics?” Marcus said. Chase nodded his head. “Cool, now I can be ten times more stronger!”

            “And hopefully I can get bionics that don’t make me so wimpy and weak” Chase beamed.

            Marcus smiled and hit his brother across the shoulder. “Now that’s the Chase I know. Always looking forward to the future”

            Chase nodded. ‘Well, we better get to bed before dad yells at us for not ‘getting enough sleep’”

            Marcus nodded in response and the boys stepped into their capsules. “Chase?”

            “Yea?”

            “When we get more bionics. Do you think I will still be stronger than you?”

            Chase smiled “In your dreams”

            Chase was getting his books out of his locker for his next lesson. He closed it and turned around and saw Bree walking towards him. “Hey Chase” she smiled.

            “Hi Bree. Look, I’m sorry for the way that I acted yes-“

            “It’s alright. Marcus said that you have ADHD and I don’t blame you”

            Chase smiled “Thanks”

            “But if I were you, I would stay away from Trent. He is pretty mad at you” she said getting her books from her locker.

            Chase shook his head “I didn’t mean to do it though. I guess I have to go and say sorry then” he said walking away from Bree.

            “What?!” she screamed and ran after him. “You can’t say sorry to him. I mean sure he is mad but nobody has stood up to him like that”

            “Sorry Bree, but I feel guilty for doing what I did. I mean, it was just a pudding cup”

            Bree laughed “Wow. First a nerd, then a guy who’s voice and personality changes when he gets upsets, and a ‘goody-to-shoes? Wow Chase. It’s only your second day and I already have three nicknames for you”

            Chase rolled her eyes “Yea whatever”

            “I’ll see you later Chase” she said with a smile and walked off letting her hair sway behind her.
