♬ 30 - Operation McKayla's Birthday

At Caitlin's house, she invited Bree and Paige for a conversation that she says is urgent.

Paige and Bree, who were just introduced to each other by Caitlin, who met Paige at a McKayla presentation a few years ago but are still not very close friends but friends.

They are sitting on the couch while Caitlin presents a slideshow "Okay people! I've gathered you here today to discuss a subject of extreme importance" Caitlin says.

"World peace?" Paige asks "No, McKayla's birthday, the little angel of our lives, is coming up, we need to have a party, a big party!" Caitlin says showing a slide that says "McKayla's birthday" and a photo of her.

"Are slides really necessary?" Bree asks "Obviously it's my best friend's birthday, Bree!" Caitlin says impatiently, Bree rolls her eyes, she considers herself McKayla's best friend but she won't discuss it.

The truth is that everyone in that room is McKayla's best friend and she loves them equally, but they don't understand it.

"Anyway, I know Mack always wanted a party with a dance floor, a DJ and lights" Caitlin shows the slides "And this year we're finally going to give her the party she so deserves" Bree says.

"Okay, I like the idea, but how exactly are we going to pay for this party?" Paige asks "As it's something she's been talking about for a long time, she and I have been saving up some money since last year so we can get everything, if you two contribute to give the remaining money, it's done!" Caitlin smiles.

Bree smile "I'm in" Bree says "Me too. Oh my cousin is a DJ, I can ask him to play at the party, and just Mack's favorite songs" Paige says excitedly.

"Yey! That's great, I've already thought about the decoration and we're going to do the garden at her house, her father recently renovated it so everything will be beautiful" Caitlin says excitedly.

"And her father is okay whit that?" Bree asks "I haven't talked to him yet, but he's never denied any of my ideas with Mack. Let's just say I'm a great influence on his daughter, so there's no way he can say no to me" Caitlin tosses her hair convinced, Paige and Bree look at each other "Sure" they both say sarcastically.

"Okay, we can invite everyone from school" Bree smiles "And I'll invite our dance class" Paige says "Great, now for the part of the plan that McKayla doesn't know about" Caitlin says, Bree and Paige frown curiously.

"I really love Mack..." Caitlin says "We all do" Paige says "It's not a competition, Paige!" Caitlin says "It feels like" Bree smirk "For real" Paige says softly, Bree giggles softly.

"Anyway, that's why what I want most is to see her happy on her birthday and we know exactly what would make her happy" Caitlin says "Uuh I like where this conversation is going" Paige smirks, Bree scoffs "Are you talking about Chase?" Bree asks.

Paige and Caitlin nod "Our mission at this party will be to bring the two together and create a mood!" Caitlin smiles "Well that's it actually Really cute" Bree says "Oh yeah! Let's be like their cupids, I love it!!" Paige says excitedly.

"How?" Bree asks "I still don't know" Caitlin says "I know!" Paige raises her hand "I know exactly how to do that!" Paige says.

"It would be interesting for my brother to have a little push" Bree thinks "Exactly, he's sooo slow" Caitlin scoffs "But first we need to talk to her parents, don't we?" Paige says.

"Yeah, but does that mean you're really in?" Caitlin asks "I know how much Chase likes McKayla, I think they both deserve a special night" Bree says.

"I know McKayla is an amazing girl, your brother will be so lucky we did this for them" Paige says "Yes! Operation McKayla's birthday, in action!" Caitlin says extending her hand and Bree puts her hand over hers and Paige puts her hand over Bree's.

Later, Mason goes to Brooke, who is ironing clothes in their room.

Mason sits on the bed "McKayla's friends stopped by this afternoon" Mason says, Brooke frowns "Why?" Brooke asks.

"Apparently they want to throw a birthday party for McKayla, they came to ask permission to have the party in our garden" Mason says "Aww that's so sweet of them" Brooke puts her hand on her chest with a sweet smile.

"She has good friends" Mason says "Our little girl deserves friends like that" Brooke folds some clothes "One of the girls is Davenport's daughter" Mason comments.

"Did he say anything about whether or not he's going to hire you?" Brooke asks "I sent my CV but I haven't received a response yet" Mason says, Brooke sighs "Oh Honey" Brooke sits in front of him.

"No, I'm not giving up, it hasn't even been a week yet. And besides, he's going to be at McKayla's party, it could be a great opportunity to finally meet him and resolve this face to face" Mason says determinedly.

Brooke tilts her head "But to make sure he likes me, can you come along with me?" Mason asks not so confidently, Brooke laughs gently "Always, honey" Brooke cups his face.

"I love you Book" Mason says gently, Brooke is the only one who fully awakens Mason's sensitive and gentle side that's why he likes have her besides him.

Brooke laughs because of the nickname "Book", This nickname was given by Mason himself at school, before declaring and accepting the feelings he had for Brooke, Mason disguised it with light teasing and jokes, including this nickname.

Which at the time irritated her a lot, but after he declared himself and she fell in love with him it became something affectionate "I love you too Mase" Brooke says leaning over and giving her husband a delicate kiss.

After the dance class, McKayla and Paige stopped by a Starbucks and bought two iced coffees.

They walked down the street talking "so how are things with Chase?" Paige asks, McKayla rolls her eyes "We're friends, Paige" McKayla messes whit the straw in the cup she holds.

"Uhg! Friends don't go hand in hand with friends" Paige says "Of course they do" McKayla frowns "Okay bad example" Paige says.

"Hum! friends don't fantasize about friends shirtless" Paige says more quietly, McKayla chokes on the coffee and Paige laughs "Paige!" McKayla says embarrassed.

"I know you do that" Paige laughs "Shut up, you're really weird" McKayla blushes "Oh come on! Have you ever been curious?" Paige asks, McKayla feels her face heat up."Duh!" she thought, but she would never admit it "No!" McKayla says.

"Yeah yeah, I'm going to pretend I believe it, you silly" Paige takes a sip of her coffee "You scare me" McKayla shakes her head.

"Okay but now seriously, you need to enjoy this situation" Paige turns to McKayla and starts walking backwards "What do you mean?" McKayla takes a sip of her coffee.

"Come on girl, you know how to dance! It's the language of love...use it!" Paige says, McKayla laughs.

"I'm not kidding, how do you think I won my boyfriend?" Paige says, McKayla tilts her head "You know, one of the best ways to know if a couple is compatible is through dancing," Paige says.

"I know" McKayla says "Can he dance?" Paige asks, McKayla thinks "He can do anything" she smiles, but she remembers the first dance Chase went to at school and the fridge dance "I don't think so" McKayla says.

"There's only one way to find out" Paige smirk "What?" McKayla says "Your party is this weekend, there will be dance music...take him to the dance floor" Paige puts her cup on a wall.

"Okay?" McKayla says "Then you start dancing with him" Paige takes McKayla's hands "Get closer, and don't forget to move your hips" Paige says approaching McKayla and shaking her hips.

McKayla laughs, she's always loved the way Paige is expressive and free, not caring if the person watching or if her comments and actions are unusual, she's just herself, 100% all the time. It's something McKayla admires and identifies with her friend.


"Move your hips girl!" Paige demands, McKayla starts moving her hips "Great, keep at it and then just let the music and the feeling move you" Paige says walking away.

"And what happens next?" McKayla asks, Paige smirks and takes her cup again "That's up to you" Paige says.

McKayla puts her hair behind her ear "Aw you're so cute when you're shy" Paige pouts, McKayla rolls her eyes "I'm not shy" McKayla says "Prove it. At your party. With him" Paige say biting the straw.

McKayla smiles blushing, Paige hugs her "This weekend my girl will finally be 17!" Paige says loudly "We're going to be the same age" McKayla hugs her back and they continue to walks.

"Same age for a week, then I'll be 18" Paige says, McKayla laughs, "Let's start celebrating now, come dance with me" McKayla says doing little dance moves and Paige laughs and follows her.

In the Lab.

Chase was reading a book, while Leo and Adam played ping pong at the cyber desk, Bree entered holding store bags.

"Hi boys!" Bree says excitedly, putting the bags on top of the cyber desk that Leo and Adam were playing, disturbing their game "Hey! I was going to win" Adam complains, Leo laughs "No, you wasn't" Leo says spinning the racket.

Chase walks up to them "Did you shop?" Chase asks "Yeah, only the good and the best" Bree says excitedly.

"Wait, these are men's clothes" Leo looks in the bags "Oh cool, are you trying out a new style?" Adam says, Bree frowns "No" Bree says "Aw but you would look great in baggy pants and big shoes" Adam says.

"I shopped for you guys" Bree says with a proud smile "Why?" Chase asks, Bree turns to him with a mischievous smile "When I said to you guys and I meant you in particular, Pretty Boy" Bree says.

Chase frowns "You know McKayla's birthday is this weekend right?" Bree says, Leo and Adam they take their clothes out of the bags.

"Y-yeah I know, but everyone from school will be there" Chase says "Yes, Chase but you're the birthday girl's crush, you have to get her attention more than anyone" Bree says, Chase purses his lips in confusion.

"You have to be the most handsome boy at the party..." Bree explains "Oh so that means I'm not going" Leo says "neither am I" Adam says "I meant the most handsome boy for her" Bree says "You don't completely know her taste" Adam shrugs, Leo agrees.

"Anyway, you need to look good, don't you feel like hanging out with her at this party?" Bree smiles, Chase scratches the back of his head "uh yeah, I want... a lot" Chase blushes lightly.

Bree smiles proudly "That's why I bought this for you" Bree takes out of a bag new pieces of clothing, casual because the party is causal, a plaid flannel shirt in a vibrant royal blue tone, with a black shirt for him to wear underneath and a pair of ripped jeans at the knees.

Bree waits for his reaction "Don't you love it?" Bree says, Chase looks at the clothes, he smiles. The fact that Bree works like that to make him look good in front of the girl he likes makes him glad, besides being something unexpected, it leaves him feeling a warm feeling of affection from his sister.

Leo and Adam also smile seeing that even though the focus was on Chase, Bree didn't leave them aside at the time "Woah Bree, that's amazing thank you" Chase says "Yeah thanks too" Leo says "I want everyone to have fun" Bree says.

"Oh and also, a tip. Wear your perfume with black bottle" Bree whispers to Chase "what about the green one?" Chase says, smelling the perfume he currently wears, which would be the green one "Trust me, the black one" Bree winks, Chase smiles with a feeling of growing anxiety about this conversation.

━━━━━━━ •♬• ━━━━━━━

The weekend arrives, and McKayla goes out to the garden to watch her party begin.

The party started in the middle of the afternoon, it had a beautiful and lit dance floor, a DJ table where Paige's cousin played a playlist of McKayla's favorite songs, and lots of colorful led lights.

McKayla smiles and looks around in wonder and extremely grateful that her friends did this for her.

She wears a new dress that she bought, a light flowing and short dress, in vibrant royal blue, she wears white sneakers with silver details and her hair in a neat ponytail, with some strands falling down her face.

Caitlin and Paige approach her "Happy birthday!" They both say "guys!" McKayla smiles and runs towards them hugging them tightly.

"Oh my god, thank you, thank you, thank you!!" McKayla thanks them with a big smile "I love you guys, this is all amazing. I don't even know if I can thank you enough" McKayla says.

"You deserve so much more" Paige says "This is nothing compared to how much you've already done for us and what an incredible friend you are, we can't thank you enough" Caitlin says "Aww, I'm going to cry" McKayla says.

"Don't cry, you'll smudge your makeup" Paige says "Seriously, you guys are amazing" McKayla says "The party has started! Let's go!" Caitlin says taking them to the dance floor.

"Wait where's Bree?" Paige asks "oh I'll text her" McKayla takes out her cell phone "I already texted her but she didn't text me back" Caitlin says "I'll call her" McKayla leaves.

McKayla enters the house and calls Bree "Hey Bree" McKayla says into the phone "Mack, happy birthday" Bree says quickly "Thanks, where are you?" McKayla ask.

She hears Bree sighing over the phone "we got a mission alert, me and my brothers just going to arrive at night" Bree says,McKayla tries to hide the disappointment in her voice, she was looking forward to this, but she tries to be patient.

"Oh okay" McKayla says "Sorry Mack, but I promise we'll get there as early as possible" Bree says "Sure" McKayla says "I have to go, see you later" Bree says "See you" McKayla says and hangs up the phone.

Trent walks past her with a tray of appetizers, McKayla holds his arm "I need your help" McKayla says "Will you pay me?" Trent says "I will" McKayla says "Oh that was easy" Trent says surprised.

"Look Chase will be here later, and dad won't get off my back if I stay with him" McKayla says "Oh you want me to distract dad?" Trent says "Do you have anything more important to do?" McKayla asks.

"Not really No, your party sucks for me since mom made me promise not to bully anyone today, as your birthday present" Trent says "Oh thank you" McKayla says sarcastically "You're welcome" Trent mocks.

"You do this for me? I want to spend time with him" McKayla says with a delicate and dreamy look, imagining a perfect night, Trent rolls his eyes "Fine" Trent says.

McKayla smiles "I love you" McKayla kisses her brother's cheek "I love you too" Trent says hesitantly looking around making sure no one saw and leaves, McKayla smiles shaking her head.

━━━━━━━ •♬• ━━━━━━━

After completing the mission, Adam, Bree, Chase and Leo are taken by Mr Davenport and Tasha to the party.

They enter and leave the gifts at the entrance with the others, Chase holds a small box in his hand he hesitates to put his gift with the others but he does it, but he himself wants to give it to her.

Mr Davenport enters the house and Brooke soon nudges Mason and points at Donald "Hey, Donald Davenport?" Mason approaches whit Brooke "Myself, you must be McKayla's father" Mr Davenport greets him.

"Yeah, you can call me Mason and this is my lovely wife Brooke" Mason puts his arm around Brooke "Nice to meet you" Brooke says with a gentle smile "also, and this is my beautiful wife Tasha" Mr Davenport introduces Tasha who greets them.

"Look, I must say that I read your CV, but I haven't had time to organize my schedule for an interview yet" Mr Davenport says "We have time now" Mason smiles and looks at Brooke, Mr Davenport gives a friendly smile.

...

Meanwhile Leo, Adam have spread out throughout the party, and McKayla is dancing with Paige and Caitlin on the dance floor, Bree joins them.

After finding Bree, McKayla starts looking around for Chase, Paige signals Caitlin and Bree to leave McKayla alone.

As Chase, wearing his new clothes, walks around the dance floor, feeling a little lost, among people from school and friends from McKayla's dance class, he doesn't know anyone.

Paige goes to her cousin who plays as a DJ "Hey Man" Paige says "Hey PG" He says "Play a Rihanna song now" Paige asks him "Got It!" He says and changes the song.

Rihanna's song "We Found love" starts playing, she is McKayla's favorite singer, she looks at the DJ and smiles listening to the song, it is at that moment that Chase sees her in the crowd.

We Found Love by Rihanna

◂◂ ∎∎ ▸▸

Chase looks at her with a twinkle in his eyes, half open mouthed "Woah! And I thought she couldn't get any prettier" he thinks, He approaches her slowly, and she notices his gaze, she smiles seeing that he would be the only boy at the party wearing clothes the same color as her dress, Yes, Bree knew that.

McKayla and Chase get closer, she bites her lips lightly to avoid smiling too much "Hi" McKayla smiles "Hi" Chase smiles "Happy birthday" Chase says, McKayla sighs "thank you" she says.

"cool party" Chase says "I know, all thanks to your sister and my friends" McKayla says "yeah" Chase admiring her, McKayla shrugs "I love that song" McKayla says "You have good taste" Chase smiles.

"Okay, turn the lights down little by little" Caitlin tells the DJ who controls the party lights "let the mood begin" Paige says.

"Dance with me" McKayla says softly, she smiles and begins to sway to the beat of the music while Chase stands still, awkwardly, he just admires her.

"Go McKayla" Paige says, McKayla holds the skirt of the dress and sways to the rhythm of the music approaching Chase slowly, he blushes watching her approach, not knowing what to do but totally intrigued.

The lights begin to dim, McKayla and Chase's eyes meet and stare at each other, McKayla is much closer to him.

Looking into his eyes she puts a hand on his abs, Chase takes a breath, McKayla moves closer to him, gently shaking her shoulders in time to the music.

As she approaches him she moves her hand from his abs, slowly up to his chest, and then to his neck. Chase's rosy cheeks turn red and hot, McKayla breathes more rapidly as she comes with her face closer to his.

Chase starts to move his shoulders to the rhythm of the music accompanying her, McKayla gives a slight smile. The tips of their noses touch for a second, and the only response Chase can give to that is a gentle chuckle.

"go girl!" Caitlin says next to Paige, the music speeds up, Chase quickly scans the place and analyzes the sound of the music with his bionics, When analyzing the beat of the song, Chase holds McKayla by the waist, and quickly throws her into his arms, she holds onto his neck tightly.

"Woah!" McKayla says in surprise, everything happened so fast one second she was looking at him and the next she could see the sky full of stars and him holding her.

She notices Chase's bionic eye working, he lifts her up again and holds her hand with one hand and holds her waist with the other, McKayla gasps.

"After the refrigerator dance thing, I did some research" Chase says, he gives a nervous smile "I-I see" McKayla says impressed, Chase guides her in the dance, two steps forward and one back in rhythm with the music.

Chase has several dance moves archived in his database, he reproduces them perfectly, he pushes her away and spins her back into his arms, she gives a delicate laugh "damn, he's good" McKayla thinks.

The way they dance catches the attention of everyone who stops to look, especially because the party lights focus on them. In the midst of so many feelings, they don't even notice other people.

Chase spins McKayla around again, she jumps a little and he supports her and he spins her around, since he is using his bionic intelligence, this gives Chase confidence, making him forget about his nervousness, while McKayla just enjoys the moment without thinking.

She had never met anyone who danced as well and with as much in tune with her as he did, they don't stop looking at each other.

Chase then turns McKayla around and makes her fall into his arms again, lifts her up and they are face to face, with his chest pressed against hers, and their fingers intertwined.

McKayla smiles at him with her eyes shining cuz of a light that hits her face highlighting the color of her eyes which makes Chase give a slight sigh that ends in a smile.

As it is the calmest part of the song, they slows down their steps, two forwards and one backwards, moving their hips in sync "Yeah! The hips!" Paige says, Caitlin frowns at her.

"Oh yeah! That's my brother!" Adam says when he sees the other guests cheering with every step Chase and McKayla take.

McKayla slowly moves away, the song about to reach its peak, Chase smiles biting his lip as the two walk away and do a solo dance but without stopping looking at each other.

McKayla can't contain her laugh of joy watching him dance better than a professional "He's just perfect" she thinks, before the song drops McKayla runs up to Chase and he lifts her in his arms which makes everyone watching cheer.

This makes Mason, Donald, Brooke and Tasha turn their attention to what is happening outside, they leave and and see everyone from the party gathered on the dance floor.

McKayla chuckles as Chase slowly lowers her, their eyes meeting as he holds her in his arms, McKayla put her feet the floor looking into Chase's eyes, they both catch their breath from dancing.

Paige, Caitlin and Bree stare at them "Kiss, Kiss, Kiss, Kiss!" Paige says anxiously, Chase continues to hug McKayla "You're a great dancer" McKayla says gently, Chase doesn't say anything he just smirks.

"Kiss her" He thought, however, as soon as he looked away from her he saw her father who was with Mr Davenport, Brooke and Tasha, he took a deep breath and began to walk away from McKayla.

"No! Kiss her you idiot!" Paige says, Bree sees Mason on the other side of the track and immediately understands what happened and signals to the other two girls "Oh forget it" Paige says.

Out of respect for her father, Chase decides to move a little away from McKayla, she frowns but when she looks back she sees her father, McKayla sighs, she sees Trent not far away and signals him with her head.

Trent looks at Mason and makes a money sign with his hand at her, McKayla rolls her eyes and takes Chase's hand "do you want to get out of here?" McKayla asks "Uh...okay" Chase smiles.

McKayla guides Chase through the people and they pass by Trent, when passing by Trent McKayla gives him some money, after taking the money Trent goes to Mason to distract him.

Inside the house, McKayla and Chase enter, halfway through McKayla greets several family members and friends.

As she greets an aunt of hers, Chase goes to the entrance and grabs the box for his birthday present for her.

"Come on, let's go upstairs" McKayla tells Chase, he takes a deep breath and follows her to her room.

The two entered the room and she closes the door "It's quieter here, we can talk better" McKayla says, Chase scratches the back of his head "yeah, of course" Chase says heading towards her desk.

McKayla goes to the mirror in her room and lets down her hair, that hairstyle was too tight, she was already starting to feel a headache.

Chase feels a chill watching her let down her hair, and he blushes slightly, McKayla turns to him and smiles, he smiles back and remembers that he has to explain what the box in his hand is "Oh uh...This is for you" Chase says.

"You don't have to bother buying me something" McKayla takes the box "I just looked at this and...I thought of you" Chase looks away as she opens the box.

McKayla opens the box and sees a beautiful gold bracelet with a heart-shaped pendant, she melts over it "Aw Chase, it's beautiful" McKayla says picking up the bracelet "just like you" Chase says naturally, he didn't want to say it out loud but naturally he said.

McKayla looks at him in surprise and he realizes what he said, he clears his throat but chooses not to take back what he said.

"Thank you, I loved it" McKayla puts on the bracelet and admires it, Chase looks down, proud of having made a good choice.

McKayla sits on the bed she points to a video game console installed on her TV "Trent gave it to me for my birthday" McKayla picks up a video game controller "Really?" Chase gets up and analyzes the video game model.

"Yeah, it's not the newest video game but..." "It's one of the best!" Chase adds "Exactly" McKayla smiles "Have you played any games on it?" Chase says "I was waiting for you to do that whit me" McKayla grabs another controller.

Chase smiles softly "Cool" he says, McKayla moves to the side of the bed "Sit here" McKayla says, Chase looks at her side and then at her hesitantly "Dude, just go, stop thinking so much" he thinks.

Chase takes off his sneakers and sits next to McKayla on the bed taking the controller that she hands him, she presses her lips together slightly surprised "wow he really accepted, okay" she thinks.

McKayla turns on the video game, she immediately plays a game and the two start playing, you can hear the party music playing, Chase looks around, he's never noticed how small her bed is, or how small her room is.

After some time passes he feels cold, and notices that She also moves her feet to try to keep warm "It's cold here, right?" Chase says without taking his eyes off the TV.

This makes McKayla realize that she forgot the air conditioning on "Oh my bad, I forgot it on" she turns off the air conditioning, the room is still cold.

"Are you too cold?" McKayla asks, Chase shakes his head "No" Chase says, McKayla smiles and reaches for the blanket on the end of the bed "I am" McKayla chuckles.

Obviously she will feel colder than him, she is wearing a light fabric dress. She covers herself with the blanket, the bed is very small so consequently she covers Chase too.

Chase feels anxious with butterflies in his stomach but he likes it, McKayla feels the same, she looks at him with a gentle smile.

McKayla gets a little closer "What?!" Chase asks slightly nervous "I really like your perfume, you know" McKayla leans her head against the headboard looking at him with a look of admiration.

Chase smiles "Ooh thanks Bree" he thinks, Chase tenses his jaw as he quickly looks at her lips and returns to her eyes without a response, McKayla rests her chin on his shoulder as he looks at her, bringing their faces close.

Chase turns a little to get a better look at her, his every movement gives McKayla a shiver, they both forget to even breathe, McKayla eases her tense lips by looking not into his eyes "Kiss me, please" She thinks.

Chase then takes the air and looks away from her, back to the TV with his face completely flushed, feeling agitated, his heart pounding "Leave it like that. If you do something it could ruin everything" Chase thinks.


McKayla looks away immediately "No! control yourself girl!" She thinks, thinking about the situation they are in and that her father must be downstairs trying to outwit Trent just to see what she is doing.

Chase goes back to playing the video game, McKayla does the same, making herself more comfortable on the bed and laying down on his chest, she hears his heart racing and gives a smile.

Chase puts his arm around her and the two stay there playing all night, they don't even notice the time passing or the party ending, around 3 am they are both already asleep.


━━━━━━━ •♬• ━━━━━━━

The next morning, Chase wakes up with McKayla lying next to him, in his arms.

Chase slowly opens his eyes, he is woken up by the rising sun hitting the bedroom window, he looks at McKayla sleeping peacefully next to him, lying a little on his chest resting her hand on his shoulder.

Chase's eyes widen slightly realizing all the time that has passed, and the situation he finds himself in. He needs to go home before Mr Davenport wakes up and sees that he hasn't come home last night, Chase smirks lightly at that thought, it feels a kind of cool.

But he doesn't want to wake McKayla up at 7am on a Sunday, she always says she likes to sleep late on weekends. He looks at her sleeping "She looks like an angel" he thinks and bites his lip.

He takes a deep breath and removes her hand slowly and as delicately as possible from his shoulder and then he moves away a little, making her lay her head on the pillow and no longer on his chest.

He breathes out seeing McKayla adjust herself on the pillow, but he is on the side of the bed that faces the wall "Damn!" he thinks when he sees that the only way to get out of bed is to pass by a sleeping McKayla.

He purses his lips in frustration, removing the part of the blanket that covered him silently, with the movement of the blanket, one of the video game controls almost fell out of bed, but Chase held on with the molecular kinesis, he looks at McKayla to check if she's still sleeping, and he puts the video game controller in a safe place.

Chase wets his bottom lip and sits silently on the bed "Okay, I can do this" he thinks nodding confidently, he then begins to move as quietly as possible over McKayla, first passing one leg and then he would pass the other as if jumping over a fence.

However, when he is on top of her, McKayla starts to wake up, she opens her eyes and comes face to face with Chase on top of her, Chase gasps slightly "Chase?" McKayla says confused, Chase gives an awkward smile "Hi" Chase says softly with his voice cracking, he chuckles nervously "What are you?" McKayla raises her head a little thinking he was going to do the same but they both ended up bumping their foreheads.

The blow to his forehead makes Chase slide one of his legs off the bed causing him to fall, Chase falls to the floor and McKayla quickly sits on the bed "Oh my God, are you okay?" McKayla says, Chase puts his hand on his forehead "Owwch" Chase says, McKayla looks at him with pity "McKayla, are you okay?" Brooke asks from the next room after hearing the noise "Yeah! I just...fell out of bed" McKayla says.

Chase quickly stands up nervously "everything okay?" McKayla asks "Mm-hmm" Chase says looking at her, he blushes with several thoughts running through his head, one of them being "She looks so beautiful in the morning" he thinks, McKayla thinks the same thing, looking at the look of someone who just woke up on his face, and his messy hair.

"Uh...good morning" McKayla says softly and gently, breaking the seconds of silence in which they stared at each other, Chase can't help but smile when he hears this, realizing that she's the first person he's seen and heard this morning, and nothing happens that will change that fact.

"G-good morning" Chase says softly, McKayla fixes her hair for fear of it being a mess "wow, it's morning already...And you're still here. That's crazy" McKayla says now really realizing what happened "I-I'm still here" Chase nods his head still flushed.

"yes, um I'm sorry about that" Chase says, McKayla frowns taking off the blanket "for what?" McKayla asks "I didn't mean to...spend the night here and..." Chase says awkwardly.

McKayla giggles "It's okay, we fall asleep playing video games late, it happens" McKayla says gently "Sure...we just" Chase scratches the back of his head.

McKayla smiles seeing his nervousness, it's cute and a little funny considering the situation "I didn't want to wake you up either, I just want to get back home before someone wakes up and sees that I..." Chase says nervously "Slept with me?" McKayla smirk blushing.

Chase's eyes widen a little and swallows hard "I-i wasn't going to say that in that way" Chase says shyly, McKayla chuckles softly "I know, I'm just messing with you" McKayla says.


Chase sighs "But that's what happened" McKayla shrugs her shoulders with an innocent look "Yes. in the literal sense of the word, yeah" Chase says, McKayla raises an eyebrow "And what other meaning would it have?" McKayla says softly.

Chase looks at her and presses his lips together "Oh she's evil" he thinks feeling anxious due to nervousness but not in a bad way.

"You are so immature" Chase says trying to control his nervousness "Me? It's clear that you were the one who thought of this first!" McKayla says "I don't even know what you're talking about" Chase says.

McKayla laughs, Chase puts on his sneakers "I need to go, it's not good for me to spend a whole night without the capsule" Chase says, McKayla looks at him "He's so cute in the morning, I wish I could see that every day" she thinks.

"Of course..." McKayla sighs, Chase goes to the window and thinks how he's going to get out without ruining the vertical garden below her window "Can you climb out the window?" McKayla asks going to the window.

"Yeah, I've been through worse" Chase smiles and looks at her "look... thank you, it was the best night of my life" McKayla says sincerely, Chase smiles gently "Mine too" Chase says.

Chase sighs "See you Macky" Chase says gently and goes out the window, McKayla giggles "See you Chasey" McKayla bites her lip as Chase climbs down carefully.

McKayla leans against the window and admires Chase walking down the street, just before disappearing from her sight he looks back and smiles proudly.

Chase returns to the Lab, Bree and Adam are sleeping in their pods and Chase enters silently barefoot to avoid making noise.

When he arrives at his capsule, Donald and Leo jump out from behind one of the consoles "Aha!" The two say and Chase screams, Adam and Bree, who were pretending to sleep, come out of the capsules.

"I knew you would show up sooner or later!" Leo says, Chase looks at them confused "Chase what were you thinking, I was sure I could trust you that you were going to come home before midnight. You know that spending the night outside the capsule is bad for your bionics" Mr Davenport says.

"I know, sorry Mr Davenport, I...I lost track of time" Chase says "Doing what exactly?" Bree crosses her arms, Chase gales at her.

"Wait, why didn't anyone tell me it was a slumber party?" Adam says "Because it wasn't, please don't tell me Mason saw you spent the night there" Mr Davenport says worriedly "I don't think so" Chase says.

"Great, because yesterday he and I had a great conversation and he's officially my new head of security of Davenport Industries, and he has everything he needs to be one of the best and I don't want to lose this becquse you messed up" Mr Davenport explains, Chase swallows hard.

"Of course Mr Davenport, that won't happen again" Chase says, Mr Davenport nods "Okay, I'm glad you had fun, just don't let it get in the way of your focus" Mr Davenport pats Chase's shoulder and leaves.


Chase sighs and Leo looks at him with a small smile "So what happened?" Leo asks "We played video games and fell asleep that's all" Chase goes to the capsule.

"What?! You spent the night with a girl and you didn't do anything?" Adam asks, Chase shrugs in confusion "Dude, don't complain about me picking on you, because sometimes you ask for it!" Adam says, Chase galres at him.

Bree rolls her eyes "Okay, I did what I could" Bree sighs frustrated and goes back to the capsule, Adam does the same, Chase looks at Leo who shakes his head "I woke up at 7 am on a Sunday for this?" Leo says frustrated and leaves.

Chase relaxes in the capsule without paying attention to their comments, because the only thing that matters and doesn't make him regret anything that night was that McKayla said it was the best night of her life.
