♬ 16 - Spike's got Talent

In the main hallway of the school.

Chase comes up to Leo, Adam, Bree and Owen on the bench in the middle of the hall holding the yearbook.

"Did you guys see the yearbook? Everybody but me got a "Most likely to..." even Leo!" Chase complains "What? Let me see that." Leo takes the yearbook.

""Most likely never to get a 'most likely.'" I'm on the board!" Leo says excitedly "Well, that proves it. I'm completely invisible at this school." Chase says frustrated.


"Chase, that's not true. If you were invisible, I couldn't do this." Adam punches Chase.

"Chase, just because you weren't nominated doesn't mean you're invisible." Bree says "Oh, really? Yeah? What's this?" Chase shows his picture in the yearbook, his picture is a silhouette with no picture with a question mark and his name spelled wrong below.

""Chip Davenport". I'm a misnamed question mark!" Chase says irritated and closes the yearbook, Bree and Owen look at each other, stifling laughter "And on the other side everyone wrote amazing things in McKayla's "most likely to..." Chase says upset.

After discovering that McKayla has a crush on him, Chase began to see her with other eyes and reevaluate his own feelings. and since then he has given himself more and more to this feeling, without hiding it from his sibilings.

"Don't be like that Chase, have you ever seen those romance movies where the misnamed question mark ends up with the pretty, popular girl?" Leo pats him on the back "How would she want to go out with an invisible guy? Look at her!" Chase points at McKayla.

She's surrounded by people all signing their yearbooks, she laughs at something someone said to her "She's so perfect" Chase says looking at her with a sparkle in his eyes "I can see where you guys don't match" Bree says, Chase looks at her irritated.

Perry walks in "Listen up, snot-buckets! Don't forget to sign up for the annual Mission Creek High talent show. Auditions are after school, and we'll be judged, by moi. Chances are that if I don't like you, you won't get through, and I don't like any of you, so good luck." Perry laughs

Owen gets up "Talent shows are wrong! There are no winners or losers in creative expression." Owen says, Perry scoffs "Stick a paintbrush in it, Emo Sabe!" Perry leaves.

Owen turns to them "I refuse to stand by while that woman crushes the artistic souls of our student body. I'm gonna go sketch my feelings!" Owen says and leaves, Bree sighs with a smile "He is so tortured. Isn't it great?" Bree says with a smile and leaves.

"This talent show is the perfect opportunity for me to build my fan base." Leo says "Leo, you don't have a fan base." Chase says "I know. That's why I have to build one. With magic!" Leo waves his hands in front of Chase's face, who frowns at him.

"Well, that is what it would take." Chase says "No. I got a magic kit and I've been practicing, specifically for the competition." Leo says "A magic kit? Isn't that kind of lame?" Chase says.

"There is nothing lame about buying something off the Internet to make friends." Leo says he goes up to two girls with a pack of carda ,"Hello, ladies. Would you like to see a card trick?" Leo says?

"Okay, this is your card. Mm-hmm..." Leo shows a card "Hey, what's that in your hair? Bam! See? Magic." Leo removes the letter from the girl's hair and then shows it to Chase.

"You know what my problem is? All of my talents are bionic, and I can't reveal them at school and not even to McKayla" Chase says, Leo pretends to look sorry "Aw. Bionic people problems." Leo says

"Hey...Give me those cards. Come on, gimme. Watch this." Chase goes up to two girls "Hello, ladies. Pick a card, any card." Chase shows the deck of cards and the girls take one "Put it back in." Chase says and they do só

"Is this your card?" Chase shows a card, and they say no "This one? This one? This one? This one?" Chase shows several cards but none of them are the ones they picked up.

"Boom." Leo shows the girls' card, Chase looks at him indignantly "Magic." Leo show the card to Chase.

Everyone starts auditioning for the talent show and Perry evaluates them, McKayla obviously prepared a dance performance.

Chase is on the bench next to the stage whit Leo, he had never seen McKayla dance for real, just small steps she does as jokes and the cheers she used to do witt cheerleaders team.

Chase watches her dance mesmerized, he gives a smile "Wow she's really good" Leo says "Yeah" Chase says with a sigh, her every step is delicate and dedicated, it is clear that she is doing something she loves.

Chase takes a deep breath as he watches her every detail and movement, as he begins to think that she makes him feel feelings he's never felt before, he swallows hard and looks away to the floor nervously.

"Then?" McKayla asks Perry when she finishes her performance "That wasn't bad for a sour face like you" Perry says, McKayla frowns "You're okay" Perry says "yes! Thanks...sort of" McKayla says coming down from the stage.


Leo comes on stage and McKayla sits next to Chase who avoids making eye contact with her, McKayla takes a bottle of water and drinks it, Chase plays nervously with his fingers blushing.

With his feelings for McKayla becoming more evident and stronger for himself every day, Chase began to have difficulty talking to her due to the extreme nervousness he feels, mainly because of the pressure of knowing that she feels the same.

"Uh...You did great in your presentation" Chase scratches the back of his head without looking at her "Thanks, it's a shame I missed a couple of steps but that won't happen in the final presentation" McKayla says putting the bottle away.

"I-I thought it was perfect" Chase says quietly but enough for her to hear he gives her a quick smile and looks away, McKayla smiles at him.

McKayla noticed that Chase has been quiet, he didn't use to talk to her like that, she feels like something has changed but she doesn't know what.

Perry sees Leo on stage "Ugh! Dooley. Next!" She press the buzzer "Come on, give me a chance." Leo says "Ah, fine. Just get it over with." Perry says impatiently.

Leo takes three rings "Three solid steel rings pass right through each other to become interlocked. Locked solid, right? Hmm?" Leo puts the rings together and makes them disappear, everyone applauds

"Wow! That wasn't awful! All right, you're in." Perry says "Yes! For my next trick, I'll leave while I'm ahead." Leo leaves the stage.

Chase is next "Good luck" McKayla says gently "Thanks" Chase says shyly and walks up on stage.

"What's your talent? Other than having my middle school haircut." Perry says, Chase takes a deep breath " I am the smartest man to ever live." Chase says, everyone looks at each other confused "Break out your online dictionaries, people...I can spell any word." Chase says.

"I got one for ya: "snoozefest." Ha ha ha!" Perry says and the whole audience boo, and throw paper balls at him, McKayla looks at Chase with pity and he quickly looks at her nervously "Next!" Perry press the buzzer.

"No! No! I have another talent! I can do magic!" Chase says "Oh, no, you can't." Leo says worriedly, McKayla frowns curiously, Chase starts using his molecular kinesis to lift the balls of paper dropped on the ground into the air, and he keeps them floating until he starts throwing them away.

"Whoa-ho! Whoa!" Perry laughs impressed, McKayla gasps in awe "Wow!" McKayla says "Ha ha ha ha! Yeah! Wow! That was amazing! " Perry says everyone applaud.

"Dooley, you're out. Little Dutch boy, you're in!" Perry says, Leo looks at her indignantly, McKayla goes to Chase.

"Wow! Chase! That was....Woah! I didn't know you were so good at magic!" McKayla says impressed, Chase smiles blushing "Uh...well I'm good at a lot of things I just...I don't..." Chase clears his throat before he says something stupid out of nervousness.

McKayla giggles kindly "You were great" McKayla puts her hand on his shoulder and he feels a shiver on the back of his neck "Thank you" Chase says with an awkward smile "See ya!" McKayla leaves, Chase waves to her and Leo approaches.

"Great job, Chase. Hey, maybe for your next trick you can remove this knife from my back!" Leo says irritated and leaves, Chase frowns at him confused.

Later in the lab, Chase is building a house of cards with his molecular kinesis

"Oh, yeah! Ooh! Yeah. Who's the man? I'm the man." Chase says confidently to himself, Leo enters the elevator "Hey!" Leo says and the scare makes Chase knock down the house of cards.


"You abra'd my cadabra. You hocus'd by pocus. You ali'd my kazam." Leo says irritated "I was being booed, and I panicked. What else was I supposed to do?" Chase says "Suffer! You're supposed to suffer." Leo says right next to him.

"Leo, I finally found a way to look cool using my bionics, and people think it's magic. Plus this is my chance to impress McKayla" Chase says, Leo rolls his eyes.

"How could I not share my amazing gift with the world? You're welcome, world!" Chase blows air kisses.

"Magic." Chase whispers, waving his hands and walking backwards to the elevator as Leo glares at him angrily.

"Wow! And I thought I was the biggest jerk in the room! He lapped me!" Eddy says as soon as Chase leaves.

"You know, if he didn't have his bionics, I would still have my place in the show." Leo says "Yeah, if only there was something in the bottom of Davenport's desk drawer that you can use to manipulate his bionics." Eddy says.

Leo takes a device from one of the desk drawers "Bingo! Bionic signal interrupter!" Eddy says "So this thing will interrupt Chase's bionics in the middle of his act?" Leo asks "You betcha! Oh, and if you flip it over, it will also shave a cat." Eddy says, Leo frowns looking at the device.

━━━━━━━ •♬• ━━━━━━━

At the talent show, McKayla had just finished her performance, she walks off the stage.

"Your turn, do your magic!" McKayla tells Chase "Oh, I will!" Chase says convinced, McKayla giggles looking at the cute magician outfit he wears.

"Okay, next up we have the amazing Chase, the only magician whose magic wand is bigger than he is!" Perry says


Chase takes the stage "Thank you, thank you, ladies and gentlemen! For my first trick, I will move that chair... with my mind." Chase says dramatically, McKayla sighs with a smile leaning against the wall where she watches his show.

Leo appears at the door with the device "Let's see how amazing Chase is now." Leo says, it activates the device "And... hmm!" Chase tries to move the chair but nothing happens, McKayla raises her eyebrow in confusion and looks around.

"Bor-ing! Bring out the girl who looks eerily similar to a giraffe!" Perry says "I don't know what happened!" Perry says "I do: You stink. Get off the stage before you incur the wrath of my rotten tomatoes." Perry says, McKayla looks at Chase worriedly as everyone starts booing him.

"No, no, no, no! Please! I can do it! I really can." Chase says desperately, he tries to move the pen again, McKayla looks at him with a broken heart
"This is awful!" Perry says "Hey stop!" McKayla says to everyone who boos and laughs at him.

Chase looks at everyone laughing at him and at McKayla with a look of pity, Chase is visibly embarrassed and nervous enough to trigger Spike "Hey!!!" Spike says in his deep voice, McKayla jumps in fright and Leo widens his eyes.

"You want to see me move that chair with my head?" Spike says "I hope he's doing an impression, 'cause that voice sounds an awful lot like Spike." Leo says nervously, Spike breaks the chair over his head, growling, McKayla gasps in fright.

"Wow! Ha ha ha ha ha!" Perry laughs impressed "Yep, that's Spike." Leo says, some people applaud and McKayla doesn't understand what Chase is doing.

...

Leo is on stage with Spike and Perry "Well, there's a fine line between entertaining and disturbing, and... I think we've crossed it. So let's take a brief intermission." Perry says

Spike gorans and Leo goes to him "Hi. Um, Spike, I was wondering if you could chill out and let weak little Chase pop back out before... Principal Perry...""I don't want to chill out! I want to rip out someone's spine and use it as a pogo stick!" Spike interrupts Leo

Spike looks at Leo up close "Or... we could picture a nice, tranquil forest filled with leaping gazelles, while you..." Leo says nervously, he takes a cup of tea from a teacher's hand.

"...have a nice cup of soothing tea." Leo says handing the cup to Spike who takes the cup and bites it, he spits out the pieces of the cup violently "Tasty!" Spike says, At this point Chase takes control again.

"Leo, what just happened?" Chase asks "I... might have disabled your molecular kinesis, but I only did it because you cheated first, so there, we're even. More tea?" Leo smiles.

*Leo, you made me nervous and triggered my Commando App. You turned me into Spike!" Chase says "Yeah, well, now you're back to good ol' nerdy Chase. So let this be a lesson: No one steals from the magic man." Leo says.

Chase's Commando App activates again due Leo's attitude "What'd you say to me, fruit fly?!" Spike says "Hey... look, everybody. Spike's back." Leo says nervously.

McKayla approaches them "Leo, what's going on?" McKayla asks "McKayla, no no, I didn't come any closer" Leo pushes McKayla away from Spike.

"What? Why? What's going on with Chase?" McKayla asks worried "Chase is having a bit of a meltdown at the moment and it's not safe to be around him" Leo says.

Spike pulls Leo "Hey, don't lay a finger on her or I'll rip them off and make skewers!" Spike says, McKayla looks at him scared "McKayla run!" Leo says in a squeaky voice, McKayla runs off "Oh she's a hard one, Spike likes the hard ones" Spike smirk.

In the main hallway, Spike arrives threatening a jock.

Spike looks around "Goody. I love it when all the easy targets are gathered in one place." Spike says, Leo appears at the door with the device "There you are. I hope this signal interrupter works on Spike, too." Leo activates the devices.

Spike starts roaring, the device only makes his aggression increase, he goes to a girl who was holding a bat, Spike takes the bat from her and bends it "Twirl that, princess!" Spike tells the girl.

"Come on, you piece of junk!" Leo uses the device again, Spike starts fighting with a guy who trained with a type of spear, Spike throws the spear which is stuck in the wall above Leo's head "Aaaah!" Leo screams, Spike throws the guy in a nearby trash can

Leo continues to press the device button "It's like this thing is amplifying Spike's bionic aggression instead of interrupting...Oh." Leo stops pressing the button.

Spike reaches the maximum level of aggressiveness, he runs to the water fountain and breaks it, causing the water to come straight out of the pipe where he drinks the water "Save a cup, save the planet!" Leo says nervously.

McKayla walks in and sees Spike drinking straight from the water fountain pipe like an animal "Leo, why the hell is this happening again? That's not Chase!" McKayla says.

"Indeed hat's not Chase" Leo says "what?" McKayla asks "Mack, how can I explain this to you...." Leo thinks, Spike pulls McKayla by the hand tightly, causing her to stumble slightly and bump into his chest.

"Huh, you came back to me Baby Doll" Spike says "W-what?" McKayla says scared "Don't worry cutie, you're in very good hands" Spike says quietly but thickly "Am i?" McKayla tries to push him away a little by pushing his chest but he's stronger, and she can't stop looking at his eyes.

They've never been so close, Spike looks her in the eye, slowly lowering himself to her level "Hey Spike, calm down, she's not yours!" Leo says "Spike?" McKayla says, Spike looks at Leo impatiently "Excuse me?" Spike says, McKayla raises her hands and Spike runs after Leo who runs away screaming.

McKayla feels a chill remembering what just happened.

Later, in the main hallway, Bree and Adam make a popcorn sculpture of Perry so Owen can protest that his butter sculpture was melted because of Bree.

Spike enters holding a piece of the basketball backboard and pins two guys against the lockers with it "That's what I call a slam punk!" Spike laughs.


Leo walks in and sees Spike "Nice Spike. Good Spike. Sit! Spike, sit!" Leo says, Spike runs away "Oh, hey. Did I mention Spike's back?" Leo tells the others and runs away.

Perry walks in "Oh! I smell butter!" Perry says, she sees the sculpture "Who is responsible for this?" Perry asks "I am!" Owen says.

"I love it! The talent show is over! We have a winner!" Perry says "No!!!" Owen says, McKayla walks in and sees the sculpture "Uuhg! Today has been the most bizarre and scary day of my life and this is definitely the peak!" McKayla points to the sculpture.

Spike comes running and destroys Perry's sculpture "No!!! How dare you destroy the Mona Lisa that was my popcorn bust?!" Perry says "Have you ever seen the Mona Lisa?" McKayla says, Spike spits out part of the sculpture and throws popcorn at Perry.

"What are you gonna do about it, shoulder pads?" Spike says "Easy, butch. Your mouth is writin' a check that you can't cash." Perry says.

"Oh, yeah? Well, Santa called...he wants to know if you'll be making toys this year!" Spike says "Why bother makin' a dolly when I have my own right here?" Perry says.

"Ooh! That's a funny joke. Where'd you get it from, your cat's litter box?" Spike says "Nobody talks about my cats! You're goin' down! Back when I was in the Tijuana Ladies Wrestling League, they called me La Rosa Bonita!" Perry says "My bizarre day is about to become surreally bizarre" McKayla says scared.

"And watch out, because I have... thorns!" Perry says "All right, kitty cat! Ready to tango?" Spike says.

Perry puts on a wrestling mask, and she and Spike start fighting until Perry knocks him down and Chase takes control again.

"Viva la Perry!!! Waaaaa!!!" Perry throws himself on top of Chase who is on the ground "La Rosa Bonita! Aaah!" Perry says, she smothered "Why am I being smothered by a female Mexican wrestler in a pantsuit?!" Chase asks "I'll fill ya in later." Leo says.

━━━━━━━ •♬• ━━━━━━━

In the cafeteria, Chase and Leo are at the table when some kids pass by them, making fun of Chase, imitating him being pinned by Perry and laughing.

"Ha. ha." Chase laughs sarcastically "Well, Chase, you finally got what you wanted. You are no longer invisible at this school. You'll forever be known as the kid who got pinned by Principal Perry." Leo laughs "Thank you, Leo." Chase says sarcastically.

"But that wasn't all bad, I'm going to risk saying that McKayla must have liked Spike more than she likes you" Leo chuckles, Chase glares at him "What did you tell her?" Chase asks worriedly.

"I just told her that you have a bizarre personality disorder when you're under a lot of pressure" Leo says, Chase whimpers and puts his hands on his face "Calm down, I'm sure that didn't change her feelings for you" Leo says "I hope" Chase says upset.

"But You being Pinned like the butterfly on the science teacher's wall must have" Leo mocks "Gotcha, Leo." Chase says frustrated "Ya know, if being pinned was a talent, you would have won." Leo laughs and Chase growls like he's Spike.

Leo screams and runs away screaming "Spike! Spike!" Leo shouts down the hall, Chase laughs and sighs "Ahh. That little trick is gonna come in handy" Chase says and takes Leo's snack.
