In penthouse at Davenport Tower

Bree giggles "LOL Mike" she types on her phone, Luke rolls his eyes and sits down next to Kaz.

Chase and McKayla are in the armchair across the room cuddling when Skylar comes down stairs excited "Guys, I just got the best e-mail ever." She says.

"Yes! I'd knew you like it. Took me two weeks to write that song." Oliver gets up "I didn't get an e-mail from you." Skylar frowns, Bree chuckles "That's because he accidentally sent it to me." Bree pulls out her phone and plays the song..

"♪I'll keep you warm, Skylar Storm And when we rise above in superhero love ♪" Bree dramatizes the song and Luke and Kaz laugh. Oliver turns music off.

"Can you forward that to me?" Kaz asks, Bree nods "Oliver...less much less" McKayla says, Oliver rolls his eyes.

"Anyway, my best friend Scarlett from my home planet Caldera just emailed me. She's coming to visit." Skylar says "Wait. Aliens have email?" Chase asks "Why wouldn't they?" McKayla says, Chase frowns "Good question" he says, McKayla laughs and strokes his chin.

"Of course. I get so much spam from there. I mean, who really thinks a Calderan prince is just handing out millions of dollars?" Skylar says "Can you forward that to me?" Kaz asks, Luke frowns at him.

"I'm so excited to see Scarlett. It'll be great not being the only alien around here." Skylar says "Want to meet strange beings? I can introduce you to my brother" McKayla smiles, Chase nods in frustration.

"You Know, we've been living together so long, I don't think of you as an alien anymore." Bree says "Aw, really?" Skylar asks "Yeah. To me, you're just a totally normal girl who does incredibly weird things." Bree smiles.

"Just like Oliver" Luke chuckles, Oliver glares at him "You have so much in common. Don't look at me like that I'm helping you Man" Luke says, Oliver nods slightly.

"So when does Scarlett get here?" Chase asks, Scarlett suddenly teleports into the room, Chase screams and hugs McKayla, putting his legs around her, McKayla frowns and looks at him "Seriously?" She thinks.

Chase looks back at McKayla who reflexively grabs his thigh "What's up man? Get a grip. if there's anyone who's going to grab someone's thigh it's you grab hers" he thinks as he clears his throat and slowly lowers his legs, releasing her.

"Well, at least we don't have to pick her up from the airport." Chase tries to compose himself, McKayla presses her lips together awkwardly.

"Scarlett!" Skylar smiles "Skylar!" Scarlett, whose appearance was identical to Skylar's, hugs her.

"Wait. Is this your best friend or your twin sister?" Chase asks confused "All females on Caldera look exactly alike." Kaz explains "This is confusing as hell" Luke scratches his head "And it's glorious as heaven." Oliver says dreamy.

"Hi. I'm Oliver. I'm sure Skylar's told you all about me." Oliver extends his hand to Scarlett "Nope. Never heard of you." Scarlett greets Oliver.

"All righty then." Oliver sits down on the couch again in frustration.

"Oh, don't worry. All you need to know about Oliver is right here in this song." Bree plays the song again "♪ We'll fly high into the Skylar... ♪" She lip sync "Give me that!" Oliver tries to grab the phone but Bree passes it to Kaz who runs off and Oliver chases him outside.

━━━━━━━ •♬• ━━━━━━━

Later, Oliver is talking to Skylar and Scarlett while Bree, Luke, McKayla and Kaz prepare lunch.

"You know, I'm a superhero. Should I really have to make my own lunch?" Kaz says "First of all, one thing has nothing to do with the other" McKayla says.

"Yeah. Probably not. You also shouldn't have to take out the trash, but you're doing it." Bree grabs a trash bag and hands it to him.

Oliver walks in "Actually, that's Oliver's job. Oliver, trash bag." Kaz throws the trash bag to Oliver "On it!" Oliver crumples the garbage bag, shrinking it.

"I am the Garbage Man!" Oliver says in a heroic pose "Oliver says in a heroic pose "Yeah, that doesn't sound as impressive as you think." Chase says from the table in the background "Garbage man! The hero who does the basics for the planet" Luke says dramatically, Chase laughs and they both do a high five.

"Lunch is ready." Bree says, Skylar and Scarlett walks in.

"I'm starving." Scarlett sits at the table and literally sucks the food in, everyone looks at her in shock.

"What's wrong? Oh, do I have something in my teeth?" Scarlett asks, Skylar makes an awkward face "I lost my appetite" Luke says frustrated.

━━━━━━━ •♬• ━━━━━━━

In Mission Command, Luke is working on something when Kaz walks in.

"Hey, Luke. What ya doing?" Kaz asks, Luke gets scared and puts on his glasses trying to act natural "Uh, nothing. Just playing around with some machine parts. You know me, a nerd being Nerdy." Luke says nervously.

"You can go now." He tries to get Kaz out of the room and Kaz grabs a robot hand with pink nails "What do we have here?" Kaz asks in an amused tone "Hey! Don't touch her!" Luke grabs the robotic arm and adjusts the glasses on his face.

"What are you up to, you freaky little nerd?" Kaz asks "I'm not freaky. I'm just...I took some tools that Chase had here and before I knew it...I started to build a high-tech female android companion." Luke presses his lips together.

"Bro, that's the definition of freaky. Why are you doing this?" Kaz asks, Luke shrugs and moves his foot along the floor shyly "Science." Luke says, Kaz galres at him, he sighs "I'm lonely." Luke says upset.

"I thought you were into Bree" Kaz says "Yeah but...she's with Mike now and she seems happy he's a nice guy. I'll never be better than him and I see it as a way for me to try to adjust to the idea of having a real relationship. For some reason I have trouble dealing with that" Luke explains.

"Maybe it's because you spend too much time working on stuff like this." Kaz points to the table "Hey, it'll be worth it. Her artificial intelligence is all set. Think of it as the training wheels on a bike before I ride it for real," Luke says.

"Again... ♪ freaky ♪" Kaz says sing songy, Luke rolls his eyes.

"There's nothing freaky about it. Now, make yourself useful and pass me her nose." Luke picks up a robotic face frame.

In the kitchen, Bree walks up to Skylar.

"Hi, Skylar. What are you doing? Do you wanna go out and show Scarlett the city?" Bree suggests " I'm sorry. We already made plans. But you're welcome to join us." Skylar says.

"Oh, great. What are we doing?" Bree asks "Sanding down Scarlett's back scales." Skylar grabs a large sandpaper " Yeah, I'm gonna pass." Bree chuckles akwadly.

"Come on. It'll be fun. I'll sand, you sweep. Just like getting your nails done." Skylar says, Bree gives a sarcastic chuckle "No. It's not." Bree says.

"Actually I think I'm going to go out with Mike" Bree says "Oh okay, have fun" Skylar says, Bree grabs her bag and leaves.

Skylar goes to the terrace with Scarlett "I get the feeling Bree doesn't like me." Scarlett says "No. She's just not used to being around aliens. And she may not like you." Skylar says.

"Skylar, I have to ask. Why are you even here? You should be back on Caldera with the rest of us." Scarlett says "I like it here." Skylar says.

"Yeah, but you said yourself, they don't get aliens. Do you really wanna live on a planet where you're an outcast?" Scarlett says "I'm not an outcast. As much as I miss you and everybody else back on Caldera, I'm part of a team here. They need me." Skylar says "Okay. I get it." Scarlett nods.

"Well, I'm gonna go lay down. My stomach hurts. I think I ate too slow." She leaves the terrace and goes to the kitchen where Skylar can't hear her.

Scarlett activates a communicator on the watch "She doesn't wanna return home. But don't worry. I know what to do." She says to the communicator with a determined look.

Later McKayla and Chase are finishing watching a movie in the living room. They are both covered by a blanket.

Chase is holding an empty popcorn bowl in his hand and McKayla is lying on his shoulder. Him with his arm around her, watching McKayla's favorite movie "Dirty Dancing"

They watched the final dance scene of the movie "Do you think we can do that dance?" McKayla asks looking at the TV, Chase looks at her out of the corner of his eye "We can do a lot of things that were done in this movie, If you want" He thinks.

"Yeah, we can do it easy" Chase grins, McKayla giggles as the movie ends. Chase drops the bowl of popcorn on the coffee table and McKayla hugs the blanket.

"What did you think? It's amazing, isn't it?" McKayla asks "It's a great movie." Chase says "Great? This is the movie of my life, Babe, and all you, with your extensive vocabulary, have to say is that it's "great"?!" McKayla says indignantly.

Chase smiles in amusement "That was spectacular" he smirks "Better" McKayla says, Chase sighs.

"So what do you want to do now? We can order a pizza, or we can go to that diner and get that croissant you like." Chase gives a gentle smile that shines in his eyes as McKayla grins at him.

"Yup or...we can stay right here" McKayla blushes slightly, Chase frowns "Doing what?" He asks with an amused sneer, McKayla looks at him with a bashful look.

"She wants to make out with you, you silly!!" Chase raises his eyebrow slightly and blushes. "Ooh!" He says nervously. McKayla lets out an amused giggle.

Chase swallows his nervousness "Um uh.... Okay" he lets out a nervous smile with his face completely flushed and feeling butterflies in his stomach.

Chase settles into the couch, putting his arm behind her, McKayla looked up at him, her eyes filled with a mix of anticipation and shyness.

Chase leans in slowly, his heart pounding. McKayla's eyes fluttered closed as she leaned toward him as well. Their lips met in a tentative, gentle kiss. The contact was soft and tentative.

Chase's hand move to the small of McKayla's back, drawing her closer. McKayla responded by placing her hands gently on his shoulders, feeling the warmth and firmness beneath her fingertips. The kiss grew a bit more assured, yet still tender.

When they finally parted, their faces were flushed, and their breaths came in soft, warm whispers. Chase's eyes were filled with a mixture of relief and joy.

Still caught in the glow of their passionate kiss, Chase and McKayla remain close, their foreheads touching. The warmth and intensity between them lingered, making it clear that neither of them wanted the moment to end.

"I love you" McKayla says with a gentle sigh, Chase smiles "I love you more" He whispers, McKayla gives a shy giggle "You know I was thinking, If we..." Chase chokes on the words "Yeah?" she says in anticipation.

"Do you think we..." Chase says nervously "What?" McKayla says "Do you think we're ready for... the next step?" He breathes more anxiously. McKayla bites her lip at the question she's been waiting for for a while.

"Well. I think we can take it slow and see where it goes...if you're okay with that" McKayla says quietly looking into his bright hazel eyes.

Chase's hands gently cups McKayla's face as he gazed into her eyes. "So can we...?" he started, his voice soft but filled with yearning.

McKayla nods, her lips parting slightly in anticipation. "Yes," she whispered.

"It's happening, calm down" Chase thinks "I trust him. I know he'll be careful, Respectful and gentle, let him handle it" McKayla thinks.

Chase leans in again, and their lips met in a kiss that was both tender and eager.McKayla's hands rests on his chest, feeling the steady beat of his heart as she pressed closer.

The kiss deepened, each of them exploring the new depths of their feelings. McKayla's fingers trace the contours of Chase's jaw, her touch light but firm. Chase's hands slide to her waist, pulling her closer as their kisses became more fervent.

Time seemed to stretch around them, each kiss more heated than the last. When they finally drew apart, their breaths were heavy, and their eyes are locked in a shared understanding.

McKayla wraps her arms around Chase's neck and climbs onto his lap. Chase looked up at her and held her waist with both hands.

The two share a gentle, loving smile at each other before McKayla leans down and kisses Chase again, relaxing onto his lap. Again their kiss grows and Chase presses McKayla into his lap.

McKayla holds Chase's hair and holds his waist firmly with her legs, but it doesn't seem to be enough. Their kiss becomes wider and hotter.

Chase has the reaction of sitting up straighter, moving her a little away from his lap as he feels the situation intensify. McKayla slowly releases the kiss "Don't worry..." She sighs and Chase looks into her eyes nervously.

McKayla gives a tender smile and a loving look. "I'm liking this" she whispers. Chase's gaze softens at her.

He relaxes on the couch, spreading his legs a little, and holds her waist again. McKayla puts her hand on her chest as she feels her heart beating loudly with the new experience, she takes a deep breath, keeping calm.

"'Kay?" Chase asks, McKayla nods. Chase brushes her hair away and pulls her in for another kiss. He begins to pull her towards him with more firmness and need. McKayla moves closer, not even knowing it was possible.

"Yes! I need her so much" Chase thinks the second he breaks the kiss and looks back at her face.

McKayla's cheeks were bright pink, her gentle smile radiating a blend of shyness and joy. Her eyes sparkled with a tender happiness as she looked up at Chase. The flush on her cheeks highlighted her genuine, heartfelt emotions, making her look even more endearing.

"Damn! I want him so bad" She thinks. Chase's radiant hazel eyes were filled with a mixture of wonder and affection, reflecting the depth of his feelings for McKayla. His gauze held a soft intensity, illuminated by the warmth of the moment.

"Better get her to a room" Chase thinks, McKayla gives in to the moment. Her gaze turns to Chase's belt below her "Or not..." He raises his eyebrow intrigued and curious, Chase looks back at McKayla and nods, she begins to slowly unbuckle his belt which only makes him feel more anxious.

Just as the moment reached its peak, the front door creaked open. And AJ walks in "AJ!" The couple exclaims

McKayla's eyes widened in shock as she quickly broke away from Chase, her cheeks flushed with embarrassment. She scrambled off Chase's lap, her movements hurried and awkward as she tried to regain her composure.

Chase, also caught off guard, cleared his throat and tried to mask his flustered expression. and settles on the couch, grabbing the blanket over his lap.

AJ walked in, carrying a few books and a cheerful smile, completely unaware of the interrupted moment.

"Hey, AJ!" Chase said, his voice a bit strained "Hello" McKayla stood up but sits back down feeling confused and her legs slightly numb "Shouldn't you be at school?" McKayla asks.

AJ looked around, noticing the awkward shift in the atmosphere. "Oh, hey guys! Did I come at a bad time?" AJ asks.

McKayla, still visibly flustered, gave a nervous laugh. "No, not at all, AJ." McKayla and Chase exchanged a quick, embarrassed glance before focusing on AJ.

"Yeah, you didn't get in the way at all," Chase says nervously and sarcastically, tapping his leg on the floor repeatedly. With a dazed and frustrated look.

"Guys, I need help," AJ says, throwing his bag. "Me too," Chase says, staring at the floor in frustration. McKayla looks at him with a little pity and gets up from the couch.

"What's up AJ?" McKayla asks "I got carried away with my science project and caused a fire in the school lab" AJ says "What?!" McKayla says.

"That's why they sent me home, they say my inventions are dangerous and I'm not responsible" AJ says, Chase nods from the couch "Yeah they're not wrong" He says, McKayla galres at him.

"Anyway. The teacher wants to talk to my parents today." AJ says. "What do we have to do with this?" Chase asks. AJ approaches him and Chase clings tighter to the blanket on his lap.

"Well in short one of you is very likely to get a call from my teacher today" AJ says "Wait, I don't get It" Chase says "I need you to pretend to be my parents" AJ says.

Chase scoffs "Oh Yeah, sure like we could pass ourselves off as someone's parents" he says "It's AJ we're too young to pass for your parents" McKayla says, AJ rolls his eyes "Duh!" He says.

"AJ what's going on?" Chase asks "My parents are out of town and this will be the fourth time I've caused trouble at school and they said if it happened again they wouldn't let me go to summer robotics camp. I need to go to that camp" AJ says.

"You want us to go as your parents so they don't find out?" McKayla says "Exactly. Look, I've already programmed two cyber cloaks for you. Are you up for it?" AJ asks.

"I don't know AJ" McKayla says "Wait. So you're saying if we do it we'll make sure we get rid of you for the whole summer?" Chase asks, AJ shrugs "Eventually" he says.

Chase thinks for a second "I'm in!" He smiles, McKayla rolls her eyes. AJ smiles "Thanks Chase!" AJ threatens to hug Chase "No! I'm not in The mood for a hug now buddy!" Chase moves away.

McKayla laughs and pulls AJ closer to her "Tell me about your teacher" she says taking AJ out of the room.

In Mission Command.

Kaz walks in and Luke is touching the robot's hair "Still working on your little robo chick?" Kaz chuckles, Luke turns the chair the robot is sitting in revealing her to have the appearance of a blonde girl with an angelic face.

"Whoa. Who's that?" Kaz says he is surprised by the robot's accuracy and realism "Well her real name is just a designation with a bunch of numbers so Christina sounds better" Luke says whit a proud smile.

"This is your android? Where are all the bolts and wires?" Kaz says "Hidden below the surface." Christina says "How would I get attached to a bunch of wires and bolts?" Luke asks "I'm afraid to ask how much you intend to get attached to her" Kaz says, Luke rolls his eyes in disgust.

"Luke knows how to manage me in a mature and healthy way. After all, he is very smart...and handsome." Christina says, Luke gives a shy chuckle "You're so..." he says, Kaz looks at him judgmentally.

"Will you excuse us?" Kaz says to Christina "If you'd like some privacy, I can withdraw my head into my body cavity." She says, Luke smiles "No, that's all right. We'll just talk over there. Although I would really love to see that sometime." Kaz says curiously and takes Luke to the corner of the room.

"Dude, she's beautiful. How could she possibly be into you?" Kaz says "That's the point. I programmed her that way." Luke takes out a laptop and shows it to Kaz "Look, I enter all her likes and dislikes into here, and it wirelessly transmits it to her virtual brain." Luke explains and points to Christina who smiles kindly.

"Oh, cool." Kaz says "I also did the world a favor and programmed her the complete opposite of my ex. Blocking any type of action or command similar to that Lunatic" Luke says with a devastated look.

Kaz frowns worriedly "In other words...""Christina is more human than her" Luke adds and puts the laptop aside.

"Well. I gotta go get dressed. For our first date, I'm going to take her to the movies." Luke laughs in amusement. "They're doing a silent film classics session today." He says excitedly.

"But she hasn't done anything wrong. Why are you punishing her?" Kaz lets out a light mocking laugh. Christina frowns "Was that funny? Am I supposed to laugh? I'm... I'm confused." She says.

"See? She doesn't see the humor in you, isn't she perfect?" Luke says and leaves.

Kaz looks at Christina "So, uh, what do you like to do for fun?" He asks "Whatever Luke likes to do." She says "Oh, you poor girl." Kaz looks down with a tired sigh.

━━━━━━━ •♬• ━━━━━━━

McKayla and Chase arrive at AJ's school, both a little nervous as they look around.

They dress up in the cyber cloaks programmed by AJ., which cover their identities and help hide their true appearance. McKayla adjusts her coat and gives Chase a quick glance.

"Ready for this?" McKayla asks, trying to remain calm.

"No, but let's go ahead," Chase answers wearily as he adjusts the collar of his shirt.

They enter the building and head towards the administration office, following AJ's instructions.

AJ runs up to them "Guys!" He says a teacher walks past them suspiciously "I mean...Mom, Dad" AJ smiles, Chase rolls his eyes "Uhg that's weird" he says, McKayla puts her hand on his shoulder.

"Thank you guys for real!" AJ says quietly "Okay which teacher do we need to talk to?" Chase asks "That's what I wanted to talk to you guys about. Mrs. Carter is the worst!" AJ says "What?" McKaylas asks.

"She hates me!" AJ says "Shocking" Chase says sarcastically, McKayla slaps his arm "Look I know it sounds crazy. I am an angel after all" AJ makes a cute face, McKayla giggles as Chase frown.

"Yeah an angel that burned down the school lab how can we explain that?" Chase says sceptically "The lab fire wasn't just a matter of irresponsibility. In fact, things got much more complicated. It wasn't my fault!" AJ says.

McKayla approaches, looking curious. "What happened?" she asks.

"Well, I was working on my project when a group of kids started teasing me," AJ explains, running his hand through his hair in frustration.

"They called me names, said my inventions were useless, and started pushing and making fun of me. I tried to ignore it, but I got so nervous and angry that I ended up losing control of my invention and causing the fire." AJ vents with regret and upset "Aw honey. And do your parents know about this?" McKayla asks, AJ shakes his head.

McKayla looks at Chase who looks at AJ with his arms crossed and pity mixed with irritation "And does Mrs. Carter know about this?" He asks.

"Not exactly. When I mentioned the teasing, she didn't pay much attention to it. She focused on criticizing me and saying that the fire was a failure on my part, without taking into account what caused me to act like that," AJ responds, looking at the floor.

"That's unfair," McKayla says, her voice thick with concern.

"Yes, and on top of that, she stands up for the other kids, saying that teasing is part of the school environment and that I should learn to deal with it without causing trouble," AJ explains, the frustration evident.

"Oh great like Perry used to do every time she defended your brother" Chase says, McKayla makes a frustrated face knowing it's true. But it's the first time they have the perspective that a student's parent would have of the situation.

McKayla puts a hand on AJ's shoulder, trying to be comforting. "Okay, I get it. AJ relax we will fix this for you"

"Really," AJ asks, relieved to have shared his version of events "Sure thing! Someone needs to defend you around here. And we are your parents after all, aren't we Babe?" McKayla smiles at Chase who rolls his eyes.

"Yeah, sonny. Let's go," Chase says impatiently and nods for them to continue walking down the hallway "I can't believe I'm having to defend a "son of mine" if I haven't even had sex yet. What a humiliation" he thinks irritated.

In The living Room.

Oliver is talking to Scarlett on the couch, Scarlett looks at him impatiently.

"So I'm coming to you, Scarlett, her best friend, to make Skylar realize that I'm not gonna wait around forever." Oliver explains to Scarlett as Skylar slowly walks into the kitchen and spots them "I'm in high demand by girls all over this planet. So if she doesn't scoop up old Ollie Boy right now." Oliver says.

Skylar clears throat loudly, Oliver quickly gets up from the couch akwadly and nervously looking towards herm

"Uh... No, Scarlett, I will not date you. Can you believe her, trying to steal your man?" Oliver disguises himself, Scarlett rolls her eyes "Oliver." Skylar says calmly.

"Yes, my love?" Oliver says with expectation "Get out." She says, Oliver makes a frustrated look "All right." He walks asks.

Scarlett sighs "Well, I should probably get going." She says getting up from the couch " What do you mean? You just got here." Skylar says.

"I know, and I wish I could stay, but I have important business back on Caldera." Scarlett explains, Skylar nods "Skylar, just come with me. It'll be like old times. You know you miss it." She says.

"I do, but I told you, I can't." Skylar says "Well, is there anything I can do to change your mind?" Scarlett asks.

"No. I'm sorry, but my decision is final." Skylar says "Oh. Well, then, I'm really sorry, too." Scarlett says now in a more serious tone.

"For what?" Skylar asks "For this." Suddenly, Scarlett blasts Skylar across the room, unconscious.

Scarlett activates the communicator on the watch "Mission accomplished. I'm bringing her home." She says and then walks over to Skylar, she throws her over her shoulder still unconscious.

Scarlett carries Skylar to a door that closes behind them.

━━━━━━━ •♬• ━━━━━━━

McKayla and Chase disguised as AJ's country approach the room where Mrs. Carter was.

Chase adjusted his faux tie for the umpteenth time, grumbling, "I still can't belive we have to dress up like this." He says.

"It's about blending in, Chase. Besides, you look like a respectable parent. You even have that 'disappointed dad' frown down pat." McKayla points.

"Gee, thanks," Chase muttered, but he couldn't help a small smirk in amusement at her comment. They approached Mrs. Carter's door, and McKayla knocked gently.

Inside, Mrs. Carter was seated at her desk, her posture rigid, her glasses perched at the edge of her nose as if ready to pounce on any potential miscreant. She looked up, clearly unimpressed by the sudden interruption.

"Mrs. Carter, good afternoon," McKayla began with an overly cheery tone that had an air of forced politeness.

Mrs. Carter's eyes narrowed, her smile tight. "And you are?" She asks.

"We're AJ's... uh, guardians," Chase said, trying to sound authoritative while stifling a snicker at the absurdity of their disguises. "This is ridiculous. I supposed to be getting laid for the third time right now...at home" He thinks.

McKayla frowns "Guardians? Who talks like that" she thinks.

"We'd like to discuss the recent incidents involving our son." Chase says.

"Ah, yes. AJ. Always a... special case," Mrs. Carter says, her tone dripping with thinly veiled disdain.

McKayla and Chase exchange a confused look "We've heard there's been some trouble. AJ mentioned he was teased, and that might have contributed to the lab accident." McKayla says politely.

"Teased, you say?" Mrs. Carter's eyebrows shot up, her skepticism evident. "Well, AJ's behavior has been rather... unpredictable. The lab incident was clearly a failure of his own making." She says.

Chase's eyes flashed with irritation, and he leans forward "Right. Because a bunch of kids making fun of him definitely wouldn't make him a little... unstable. Totally normal reaction for a kid under pressure." his voice dripping with sarcasm.

"It's a school environment. Children must learn to handle such situations. We can't have them blaming others for their failures." Mrs. Carter says.

"Unbelievable that this woman has a license to deal with children...or people" McKayla thinks "Oh, I see. So when you say 'handling situations,' you mean ignoring serious issues and letting kids fend for themselves?" She asks

Mrs. Carter looks at her in annoyence, clearly not used to being challenged. "I'm a firm believer in discipline and resilience. And AJ's reaction was, frankly, an overreaction." She defends.

Chase, now fully channeling his "disappointed dad" persona, crosses his arms "Empathy is a term she clearly doesn't know. Ridiculous that someone as brilliant as AJ would subject himself to this" he thinks.

Chase begins to imagine himself in AJ's place. He imagines himself not being recognized for his own genius, being bullied because of it. Chase understands AJ's feelings and takes on his pain.

"Funny. When my son...a child prodigy, by the way...has a moment of emotional breakdown due to bullying, it's his fault for not being 'resilient.' But when some other kid, who's...for example...not exactly a genius, forgets his homework, it's the end of the world." Chase points out.

"Wow, for someone who didn't want to come, or says he wants to get rid of AJ for the summer, he seems very dedicated to this role," McKayla thinks, expressing her surprise at her boyfriend's reaction in detail.

Mrs. Carte adjusts her glasses, running her tongue over her teeth in frustration and lack of response. "I'm not sure where you're going with this..." She says.

"We just want to make sure AJ is treated fairly. He's been under a lot of stress, and we need to ensure that the environment supports him, not just... criticize him for things beyond his control." Chase says firmily.

"I believe in fair treatment, but I also believe in accountability. And as far as I'm concerned, the fire was a result of AJ's own mistakes." Mrs. Carter says.

"Alright, fine. Let's make this simple." Chase, now fully in "dad" mode, threw his hands up "We're here to advocate for our son and ensure he's not unjustly blamed for things he's already struggling with. You're the teacher, but we're his parents. Let's work together rather than go in circles, okay?" He says with a tone of annoyence mixed with sarcasm.

"Woah!" McKayla tries to keep a serious, serious look toward Mrs. Carter. "Mrs. Carter, we appreciate your dedication. But we're asking for a bit of empathy here. AJ is a brilliant kid, and he needs understanding and support, not more obstacles." She says more quietly.

Mrs. Carter, clearly overwhelmed by the combination of Chase's relentless skepticism and McKayla's charming offensive, sighs deeply.

"Fine. We'll arrange a meeting with the counselor to discuss this further. But let me be clear: any further incidents will still be subject to review." She says.

Chase and McKayla exchange a triumphant glance as they exit the classroom.

Outside, AJ was waiting with bated breath "How'd it go?" he asks

Chase gave a tired smile. "Well, Mrs. Carter didn't exactly win any 'teacher of the year' awards today." He rolls his eyes.

McKayla pats AJ's shoulder. "But we're got this sorted.I believe she won't want to see us again so soon." She says

AJ grins "Thanks, guys. You're The best!!" He runs up to the young couple and hugs them. McKayla lets out a molten sigh "Aw" she says and runs her hand through the little boy's hair.

Chase looks from AJ to McKayla with a proud and dreamy smile, McKayla looks at him and smiles, Chase smirks softening his gaze causing McKayla to look at him with the same intensity with a twinkle in her eyes.

Meanwhile Skylar was taken back to Caldera by Scarlett.

Skylar wakes up trapped in a type of saddle, Scarlett appears on a monitor inside it "Welcome home, Skylar." She says.

"What?" Skylar looks around and stands up "I'm on Caldera? Why'd you bring me here?" She asks worriedly.

"There's been a war between the old leadership, who believe we should use our powers to help others throughout the universe, and the opposition, who believe we should keep all Calderans here and only help ourselves." Scarlett explains.

"So you brought me here to help you fight the opposition?" Skylar asks "No. I am the opposition." Scarlett says "What?" Skylar says in disbelief.

"We control the planet now." Scarlett says "And you think that you can just force me into joining your side?" Skylar says in a slight tone of indignation.

"You're a hero to our people. If you're off wasting your powers on Earth, it makes the opposition look bad. Your rightful place is here." Scarlett explains her intentions.

"No, it's not." Skylar says with determination and turns around, trying to blast the saddle barriers but nothing happens. She gives a confused look and tries again with a grunt. But nothing happens.

"I knew you'd resist, so I put you in a cell that disables your powers." Scarlett says in a slightly amused tone seeing that she was right about the predictions she made about Skylar.

Skylar approaches the grid and as she brings her hand closer she reveals a type of energy that resides within it "But you'll come around."We can be very convincing." Scarlett says.

"I will never join the opposition!" Skylar exclaims with hatred, Scarlett blasts Skylar through the monitor knocking her to the ground.

"Like I said, we can be very convincing." Scarlett says in a more serious tone of someone who isn't joking, she turns off the monitor leaving Skylar unconscious on the floor.

In The Mission Command.

Kaz and Christina are watching a baseball game "Oh!" They cheer for the game, Christina now wears a cap with the brim turned back like Kaz and they laugh as they share a bucket of chicken when Luke walks in.

"What's going on here?" Luke asks, quickening his pace towards him "Having wings with Chrissy." Kaz says "Ranch me." Christina says holding up a chicken wing and Kaz passes her the ranch sauce.

"Wait No! She's not programmed to eat." Luke says distressedly "I know. That's why we have the spit bucket." Kaz holds a bucket and Christina spits right into it "Oh, yeah. From downtown." Christina giggles and slaps Kaz's hand who smiles in amusement.

"Kaz!" Luke hurriedly pulls Kaz to the corner "Did you reprogram Christina to like you instead of me?" Luke asks "Uh, let's see. Did you suddenly become a normal person who likes chicken wings and sports?" Kaz asks.

Luke shakes his head "I'm a normal person!" He shouts his voice slightly hoarse with indignation "No you're not and if so I reprogrammed her" Kaz lets out a light laugh.

Luke makes an annoyed face "Listen, sorry. I just... I thought it was amazing that you could design a perfect girl, so in a way, me stealing her from you is a compliment." Kaz says, Luke rolls his eyes.

"You know what? I don't have time for this. Christina and I have to get to the movies. The first film Modern Times by Charles Chaplin. You heard, Charles Chaplin!" Luke exclaims impatiently, Kaz frowns.

"Ugh. I don't wanna go to that. I'd rather you just turned me off." Christina groans and complains, Luke looks at her in frustration "Sorry man but I'm reprogramming her back to the way she was." Luke walks over to the laptop on the console.

"No, you can't." Kaz runs and throws himself on Luke's back "Dude, what's your problem?!" Luke says, he and Kaz start to battle, Kaz reaches for the laptop and opens the rock wall.

"Run, Chrissy." He says, Christina starts to run off "Wait." She stops and looks at Luke "Did you change your mind?" Luke asks in a hopeful tone "Nope. Mama needs her wings." Christina grabs one of the buckets of chicken and runs off.

Kaz watches her go with an admiring look "I love her." He says and runs after Christina leaving Luke behind throwing his arms in question "I'll never show anything to that guy ever again" he says in annoyence.

Later Bree and Mike returned from a walk and were standing at the door.

Bree gives a playful giggle and tucks her hair behind her ear. "I had a lot of fun today," she says. "Yeah. Me too. You know, it's always fun hanging out with you...you have such a lighthearted vibe." Mike says, slightly shy.

"I still don't understand how a girl like you is still single" Mike says, Bree laughs "Oh well, let's just say it wasn't for lack of trying" She says, Mike frowns and Bree's eyes widen slightly "N-No I mean..." She stutters.

"It's just that I've been kind of waiting for a guy for a while but..." Bree looks down "Didn't he feel the same way?" Mike asks, Bree takes a deep breath reflectively "I think he and I had different goals. I wasn't going to wait forever," Bree says.

Mike nods understandingly "Maybe he just wasn't the right guy" she says softly looking into Bree's eyes, she looks hesitant.

"Maybe" she says slightly nervously, Mike runs his fingers over her cheek "Oh my god, it's happening" she thinks when she notices Mike leaning towards her slowly.

When Bree finally has the courage to close her eyes and surrender to the moment Oliver runs in "Bree, I need your help." Oliver says "Not now!" Bree shouts, turning to him, and Mike walks away awkwardly.

Bree gives Mike a nervous laugh "Sorry" she says "No problem" Mike looks down blushing slightly "No. Bree "I'm serious" Oliver says and Bree rolls her eyes "Skylar left for good." He says, Bree's expression shift.

"What?" Bree asks worriedly "There's a video message. Come on." Oliver says, Bree starts to follow him and looks back at Mike "Sorry but it's an emergency" she says.

Mike smiles understandingly "No problem, I'll talk to you later" He says waving and walking out the door, Bree gives herself a little smile before focusing on what's going on.

Chase and McKayla turned off the cyber cloaks, they were leaving school with AJ, now in their normal appearances.

When AJ spotted one of the bullies from the lab incident, who was hanging out with his friends near the lockers.

McKayla and Chase notice AJ getting agitated and staring at the ground. Chase notices the boys pointing and laughing at him.

"They're the ones who made fun of you?" McKayla asks gently, patting AJ's back. He nods.

"Stay here" Chase says "What are you going to do?" McKayla asks worriedly, Chase doesn't answer and McKayla and AJ stop near the lockers

Chase walks up to the group with an air of authority that left no room for doubt. The bullies look up, their faces immediately reflecting their apprehension.

"Hey there," Chase says, forcing a gentle and friendly tone "Who are you?" One of the boys asks "I'm Chase Davenport. We need to have a serious talk." Chase crosses his arms.

The boys shift uncomfortably. "Wait, are you the Chase Davenport?" The boy asks "I Am Chase Davenport and you Did mess with my right hand man AJ!" Chase says with determination, AJ smiles wildly. The boys frown and make surprised looks.

Chase hardens his gaze "I'm sure you're aware of the trouble you've caused AJ. But what you probably don't know is that one of the gadgets he was working on, you know the one you destroyed... he was working on it for me. And for Elite Force" He says.

McKayla lets out a light laugh in amusement, seeing her boyfriend's plan. AJ raises his eyebrows in intrigue.

The bullies frown confused "Elite Force?" one of them manages to stammer.

Chase leans in closer "Yes, the Elite Force. They're a team of super bionic heroes with some very powerful technology. They don't take kindly to their equipment being tampered with. And now, because of you..." Chase puts his finger on the boy's chest and gives him a little push "...You're in deep trouble with them." his voice drops to a low, menacing whisper.

The boys gulp in unison "Now, I could call them up and tell them that their latest gadget was ruined by a bunch of... let's call them 'well-meaning' troublemakers. And trust me, that's not something you want." Chase laughs sarcastically, the boys look at each other.

"Wh- why not?" One of them stutters "The Elite Force has a way of dealing with problems that involves endless and extremely unpleasant chores. I'm talking about scrubbing the floors of their secret lairs with a toothbrush while being monitored by robotic guard dogs." Chase nods in a mocking, threatening manner.

McKayla puts her hand over her mouth to keep from laughing "I love him" she thinks, AJ smiles looking at Chase with an admiring look.

The bullies' eyes widen in panic "You-you're not serious, are you?" One of them, barely holding it together, stammered.

Chase leaned in even closer, his grin widen "Oh, I'm serious. You see, you've got two choices. Apologize to AJ and promise to leave him alone forever, or get ready for a life of relentless, boring tasks with no escape. You choose." He shrugs.

The boys looked at each other, the fear clearly etched on their faces. "Alright, alright! We're sorry! We didn't know it was such a big deal!" One of them says.

AJ stepped forward, whit a mix of relief and amusement. "Thanks. Just make sure you don't mess with me again." He says.

The bullies rush mutter apologies before running away, Chase turned to McKayla, barely containing his laughter. "Well, that went better than expected." He smiles.

McKayla chuckles, and shakes her head. "You really have a talent for mixing comedy with intimidation. The idea of robotic guard dogs? Brilliant." She says.

AJ looks up at Chase, his smile wide. "Thanks, Chase. I didn't think you'd go so far as to threaten them with a toothbrush." He chuckles.

Chase ruffles AJ's hair with a grin. "Sometimes, a little exaggeration does the trick." He says, McKayla lightly bites her lip with a soft look at him.

"Why don't we go get some ice cream Buddy?" Chase suggests, AJ pulls away "Ice cream? You think I'm five?" AJ says, Chase rolls his eyes.

"Fine! We can go eat whatever you want then" he throws his arms, AJ chuckles and smiles "Yeah! You guys are the best parents ever!" AJ runs off celebrating.

Chase gives a proud chuckle "Hear that? Best paren..." Without warning, McKayla steps closer, her hand gently presses against his chest. She pushes him back until his shoulders bump against the cold metal of the lockers, the sound of the impact briefly echoes in the corridor.

Before he can fully process what's happening, McKayla closes the gap between them, leans in to kiss him. Chase's eyes widen, a mix of surprise and anticipation flickering across his face.

The suddenness of the gesture leaves Chase momentarily breathless, his mind racing as he absorbs the warmth and softness of McKayla's lips.

It starts soft and tentative, a gentle exploration that quickly deepens as both of them give in to the moment.

The warmth of McKayla's lips sends a shiver through Chase. His hands instinctively find their way to her waist, pulling her closer.

As McKayla pulls back, her lips lingering just a moment longer, she meets Chase's stunned gaze.

Her breath is quick, her cheeks flushed with a mix of emotion and embarrassment "I couldn't help it..." she says softly, her voice trembling slightly.

"You don't have to do much to turn me on, just so you know," she whispers softly in his ear. "Don't say that right now, girl. Why do you have to be like this? And why do I love this so much?" Chase's eyes widen as he whines inside.

Chase stands frozen, his face a mix of confusion and nervousness. He lets out a deep sigh as McKayla walks out.

His shoulders slumping as if the weight of the moment finally settles in "Damn, She drives me crazy" a relived smile tug at his lips as he melts into the realization, his earlier tension giving way to a softer, more vulnerable expression.

In The Mission Command,Oliver and Bree watch the video Skylar left.

"Hey, guys, I know this will be a surprise, but I've decided to return home with Scarlett and live on Caldera. I'll miss you all, but you have to understand that this is what's best for me. I wanted to say good-bye in person, but it was just too hard. I'm sorry." Skylar says in the video with a voice of regret. The video turns off

Oliver sighs and paces the room with a devastated look "How could she just leave like that?" Bree says in disbelief.

"I know. I always imagined if she went home, she'd wave to me from the deck of a cruise ship as she slowly pulled out of port." Oliver says stunned "Why would she be on a cruise ship if she's going to another planet?" Bree frowns "'Cause she's Skylar, and she's perfect, and she likes boats." Oliver exclaims in frustration and Bree gives a confused look.

"But something's off. It just doesn't seem like something she would do." Oliver says "Yeah. You're right. She wouldn't just abandon the team like that. We should check the video again." Bree turns to the monitor.

They restart the video, Oliver pauses it and points "There. The timecode says 1:35, but I saw Skylar and Scarlett at 2:00, and she didn't say anything about leaving. And all of her stuff is still up in her room." He says.

"You went in our room?" Bree says indignantly "Oh, don't act so surprised. You know I'm the mayor of Creepytown." Oliver says.

"You know, call me crazy, but isn't it a weird coincidence that one of Skylar's friends from Caldera shows up, and then, all of a sudden, she just decides to leave without warning" Bree says "You think Scarlett took her?" Oliver asks "I don't know. But there's only one way to find out." Bree says.

"We could use my wormhole transporter. If I set it to Caldera, we can be there in seconds."Oliver grabs a Mighty Med briefcase.

"I'll call Chase." Bree tries to call Chase but he had left his cell phone in the living room "He doesn't answer and Luke left his phone here. Call Kaz i'll try Mack" Bree tells Oliver

Oliver calls Kaz who also left his cell phone there and Oliver's music starts playing while Bree sends a message to McKayla.

"Aw, he made my song his ringtone. Now I know he's mocking me, but I'm flattered." Oliver smiles "McKayla said they're on their way" Bree says "We don't have time to wait for them. We should go. Here. Put this on." Oliver gives Bree a sticker of some kind.

"What is it?" Bree asks "It's an atmospheric regulator patch. They even out body temperatures in extreme climates." Oliver says putting one on himself.

"Oh, but just a heads up. Side effects may include drowsiness, nausea, and sudden death. Shall we do this?" Oliver extends his arm for Bree to take with a gentle smile "Okay" Bree takes his arm with a smile that is a mixture of nervousness and frustration.

━━━━━━━ •♬• ━━━━━━━

Bree and Oliver are transported to Caldera.

Bree looks around and everything looks like a desert of red sand "Great. We landed in the middle of nowhere." She says "Actually, the whole planet looks like this. We're downtown." Oliver says.

Bree looks around and sees several girls who look exactly like Skylar, like clones "Okay, that is so strange." She says "Or is it so right?" Oliver sighs looking at one of them.

"Hey, Oliver. Focus." Bree says "Sorry" He says "We do not talk to anyone till we know what's going on." Bree says "Don't worry. Calderans are very friendly." Oliver says.

"Yeah, this place seems real inviting, especially those sacrificial lava pits." Bree says sarcastically.

"Okay, let's just find Skylar, and get out of here." Bree says "Trust me. I know exactly how to find her." Oliver walks up to one of the girls passing by them "Skylar?" Hes asks, Bree rolls her eyes as Oliver walks up to another girl.

"Skylar?" He asks she shakes her head and he goes to another "Skylar!" He smiles.

In The living Room.

Luke runs in holding Christina, he puts her in a chair and Kaz walks in "Luke, this is ridiculous. Why are we fighting over Christina?" Kaz asks "Because you don't leave her alone, being mine!" Luke says pointing to himself.

"I like Kaz." Christina says "Ah ha! You barely know him...Cutie" Luke smiles "No offense, Luke, but even if she could think for herself, like a human, I guarantee she would still pick me over you." Kaz says.

Luke scoffs and adjusts his glasses "This is absurd. I repeat, absurd! She could even make that choice but she would deeply regret it because I am the right guy! I am the guy that girls should be whit but they only realize it after they hang out with the wrong guys like you and Mike!" Luke shouts angrily.

Kaz widens his eyes in concern "Dude, you're in serious trouble, what the hell did your ex do to you?" He asks, Luke takes a deep breath "You know, I think you should leave me with Christina and go to therapy" Kaz says "No!" Luke says.

"Okay, let's turn on her sentient setting and find out. That way, she can form her own opinions without us having to program them." Luke goes to a laptop "Okay." Kaz says.

"I like Kaz." Christina says "I get it!" Luke says annoyed

"That's it. All of her personality traits have been erased. She's a clean slate. So, Christina, who do you like best, me or the guy who eats food off the floor!" Luke says annoyed.

Christina looks from Luke to Kaz "I chooooose..." She starts to malfunction and lowers her head, turning off.

"What happened?" Kaz asks "I don't know!" Luke looks at the laptop and goes to Christina with a screwdriver

"I just have to get to her CPU." Luke says opening her CPU which is full of sauce "Uhg Man seriously?" Luke says in disgust and Kaz laughs "That's my girl." He says.

In Caldera.

"Skylar? Skylar?" Oliver continues asking out the girls that pass by them, Bree watches boredly "Okay, this isn't working. That was the 86th Skylar who isn't Skylar." Oliver tells her in annoyence.

"Although I did meet a Betty who seemed moderately interested." He smiles, Scarlett walks up to them "You." She says "Skylar?" Oliver asks "No." Scarlett says "Betty?" Oliver smiles "No." Scarlett frowns.

"It's Scarlett." Bree says in a serious tone and Oliver steps back fearfully.

"How did you get here?" Scarlett asks "That is none of your business." Bree says "With this wormhole transporter." Oliver smirks, Bree looks at him indignantly, Scarlett shoots the transporter "With that wormhole transporter." Oliver says.

"How can he be so stupid!?" Bree rolls her eyes "I want to push him into one of those lava pits and sort this out myself." She huffs impatiently.

"Where's Skylar?" Bree asks "Locked up in a subterranean cell. But don't worry. You'll be joining her soon enough." Scarlett says "We're not going anywhere with you." Bree says.

"Oh, yes, you are." Scarlett creates an energy sphere, Bree creates a proton ring and Oliver looks at her in surprise.

"Is that a proton ring? That's not bionic; that's a superpower." Oliver says "You have superpowers?" Scarlett asks "You have superpowers?!" Oliver asks "Long story. We'll talk later." Bree says.

Scarlett prepares to attack but Bree throws the proton ring before knocking her away.

Bree sighs with a smile "Come on. Let's go find Skylar." She tells Oliver.

A girl like Skylar is over there "Hey, which way to the subterranean cells?" Oliver asks her, she points the direction "Thanks, Betty. You're one in a million." Oliver smiles and he and Bree leave as the girl frowns at them.

━━━━━━━ •♬• ━━━━━━━

In Skylar's saddle.

Oliver spots her "Skylar. Bree, she's in here." He runs to the fence and Skylar gets up, as he approaches Oliver is almost electrocuted by the fence "Whoa." He says.

"I'm so glad to see you guys." Skylar says as Bree approaches "Wait. How do we know it's really her?" Bree says, Skylar looks at them"I know. Kiss me." Oliver pouts "Never." Skylar says with sligh disgust "It is her." Oliver smiles.

"How did you guys know I was here?" Skylar asks "Scarlett left a good-bye message pretending to be you." Oliver says "And she thought that would work? She looks nothing like me." Skylar tosses her hair back and Bree and Oliver exchange confused looks.

"Let's just get you out of here." Bree says, Scarlett appears on the saddle monitor "Get away from her." She says.

"We're not leaving without Skylar." Bree states "You humans think you can do whatever you want. But you're on Caldera now." Scarlett says.

'If you're so tough, why don't you get out here and fight us face to face?" Bree challenges "Because I don't have to." Scarlett smirks.

They hear a loud rumbling.

"What's that noise?" Oliver asks distressed "I have no idea." Bree says, suddenly the ground starts moving in a kind of wave that hits Bree and Oliver, knocking them down inconveniently.

"No! Oliver! Bree!" Skylar shouts worriedly seeing the two friends lying on the ground. And the worst part is that she can't do anything about it.

A/N - Hey guys!!

Yes, I made a lot of changes to this episode which resulted in it being quite long. But I want to know what you guys think?

What do you think of the replacement of Christina being built Luke instead of Chase, with his own ideas and motivations?

I also want to know what you thought of the scenes focused on Chase and McKayla? I also took advantage of having more moments of AJ with them.

I really hope you guys are enjoying it. Don't forget to comment and vote and I'll see you all in the next chapter 😘
