Bionic love

Drone Alone ;

I sit beside Bree and Chase on the couch trying to read Letters from Rifka as Davenport and Tasha run 'round getting ready for their trip.

"Oh, this is so exciting! I have never been to Australia before." Tasha squeals happily as she descends the stairs.

"Hey, maybe you'll like it so much you won't want to come back!" I lay down my book and crane my neck and glare at Eddie. I really hate that emoticon!

"Donald, honey, do you have the plane tickets?" Tasha asks as she walks over to the mad scientist that is her husband.

"Honey, we're taking my fully automated private jet." I put down my book again and look over at Davenport a little impressed."Plane tickets." Davenport scoffs at her words then continues. "Why don't we just slap a bunch of stamps and mail ourselves there?" I giggle a tad and lay my head on Chase's shoulder as I continue to watch the interaction between my godparents.

"Private jet. That works." Tasha then looks to Leo and they both say score and a small laugh makes its way past my lips.

"Okay, Leo, this is your chance to prove your responsible enough to stay at home without us." Davenport says as he looks down at Leo. 

"Me? What about Anya? And them?" I look over to Leo and raise a brow at him as I move closer to Chase.

"Anya has proven that she is responsible time and time again."Oh so very true."And they were designed to go on missions and save the world. You were designed to break stuff."Davenport says pointing to Leo. "He's got a point short stack."

"Don't worry, I know the rules--no touchy-touchy your stuffy-stuffy." I giggle again and feel Chase's arm wrap around me. He then lowers his head and whispers in my ear sending shivers down my spine.

"It's nice to see you laughing."He pulls his head away but tightens his arm around me as I tune back into Davenport and Leo.

"No fires--you know what? I'm not going. I'm not going." Davenport says as he walks away from the door. But Tasha stops him. "Donald, Leo will be responsible. He has Anya and he is a big boy." Tasha says trying to calm her husband down. She then turns around and looks back to Leo."Sweetie, I left your flame-retardant undies on the dresser."

I guess she still has that incident from the fourth of July a couple of years back in her mind. "Mr. Davenport, Leo will be fine. I mean, what's the worst that could happen?" Bree stands to her feet as the adults walk by. With Adam next to her.

"Funny you should ask." Chase removes his arm from around me to hold a paper and in response, I scoot closer to him."I've made an actuary chart which covers every possible catastrophe. You have an 82% chance of coming back to a perfectly normal house." Not helping dear Chase. He then passes the paper to an alarmed Davenport and wishes them happy travels.

"Don't worry! Eddie is here to monitor every room in the house." Not mine, thank goodness for that."He is like a virtual babysitter." Tasha says trying to reassure Big D again.

"Yeah, and I virtually care about your kids." I roll my eyes and stand from the couch and wander over to my short friend.

"Big D, I got this." He rests his hands onto Big D's shoulders ushering him out the door as he continues to speak."No explosions, no goof-ups, no fires, no floods--" "Wait. I didn't think about floods." I help Leo push the scientist out of the door as Tasha calls to him. I then grab the door and begin to close it as we all say goodbye.

"Okay, be careful." Big D then sticks his head back in just as I am about to shut the door and tells us there is an inflatable raft in the closet. I close the door then put my back against it while Leo lets out a puff of air.
