Harper and Adam are in the kitchen, Harper is sitting at the counter with Newton on her lap while she reads a book.

Suddenly Adam turns on a blender, Newton gets scared and Harper hugs the cat for him to calm down.

"Adam!!" Harper says, Adam doesn't hear because of the blender "Adam!!" Harper says, he doesn't hear, she rolls her eyes and uses energy manipulation to turn off the blender.

"Hey, it was almost good...i guess" Adam says "What are you doing?" Harper says "I'm putting fries in the blender to see what happens" Adam says, Harper frowns.

"they'll turn into mashed potatoes, just a guess" Harper says sarcastically "don't be silly, mashed potatoes are made with regular potatoes these are fries!" Adam says, Harper intends surprise "yes really, it's completely different...And I think you've played enough in the kitchen for today!" Harper says pulling out the blender.

Kaz walks in holding a cell phone "so Kaz wants some super greasy mashed potatoes?" Harper smiles sarcastically "Uh...sure!" Kaz chuckles.

"Who were you talking to?" Adam ask "So about that, do you guys have plans for the weekend?" Kaz ask "I feel like you already have something planned for us to do so..." Harper says.

"Yeah, my aunt called and she lives at the beach, as she will need to travel she asked if I wanted to take you there and look after the house!" Kaz says "Cool!" Adam says

"so your aunt who lives at the beach let you take a bunch of crazy teenagers she dosen't even know to her house for the weekend?" Harper questions "Exactly that" Kaz says "Oh, I don't know who this woman is, but I already love her" Harper chuckles.

Bree walks in, Kaz runs up to her "uh hey Bree, do you want to go to the beach this weekend? My aunt offered us her house" Kaz asks "really? That would be great I need a vacation!" Bree says excitedly.

Chase and Grace exit the HyperLift Skylar follows them hugging Oliver who is using his hand's ice powers on his own face,to cure the black eye.

"Oh my god, what happened?" Bree ask "Grace got carried away at training today and punched Oliver in the face" Chase says.

"Hey, don't talk like that, you're belittling my work...I got carried away in training and kicked Oliver in the face!" Grace says "Ha, she's right, that's much more impressive!" Adam chuckles.

"It's not funny guys!... Skylar tell them" Oliver says "I would but the fact that they saw you crying won't help" Skylar says "I would look at you the wrong way but first I need to make sure that my eye will work again" Oliver says, Skylar hugs him for comfort.

"It's good to get some sunglasses then, friend, because we're going to the beach" Kaz says putting his hand on his shoulder.

"What?" Chase aks "let's go to the beach at Kaz's aunt's house" Harper approaches, Newton climbs on the table and goes to Adam.

"Uh I don't know if it's good we have to work on that mission and..." "uhg here it comes!" Bree rolls her eyes "If he goes to the beach can we use him as shark bait?" Adam ask.

"Come on Chase, I want to go and I want you to be there" Harper hugs him "yes man you really need some sun" Kaz says.

"what do you mean by that?" Chase asks "You spend so much time at Mission Command that you're getting paler and weirder every day" Kaz says, Chase glares at him.

"yeah Chase, why not be a tanned weirdo!" Bree chuckles, Kaz smiles at her "Okay, it'll be cool" Chase says, Harper kisses his cheek.

Leo walks in "Hey Leo, let's go to the beach!?" Chase says "Oh I wanted to but I planned to spend the weekend with Janelle, she's coming here, and it's our anniversary" Leo smiles excitedly.

"Aw congratulations" Skylar says "Oh that reminds me can Drew come with us?" Grace says "sure" Kaz says.

"who's Drew?" Leo asks "My boyfriend" Grace says "I didn't know you had a boyfriend" Adam says.

"Seriously, It's impossible that she hasn't said anything about him to you yet, that's all she talks about!" Harper rolls her eyes, Grace glares at her.

"but yes I have a boyfriend and he..." Grace smiles excitedly "we already know he's a model" Chase rolls his eyes.

"Model?" Adam says "Yup!" Grace smiles "Oh...nice" Adam says petting Newton.

"What are we waiting for, let's pack our bags!" Kaz says "Yeah!" Everyone says.

......................................................................

Everyone arrives at Kaz's aunt's beach house, right after leaving their bags in the rooms everyone goes down to the beach.

"Wow this is so perfect, look at this place!" Bree says raising her sunglasses to see better "I know, I love the beach, it's one of the things I love most on this planet" Skylar says.

"There's no beach on your planet?" Adam asks "no, just lava pools" Skylar says.

"Harper, are you seriously not going to stop wearing a leather jacket even on the beach?" Kaz asks pointing at her, Harper is wearing a bikini top, shorts and a Leather jacket.

"Of course!" Harpe says "Is there ever a time when you don't wear a leather jacket?" Bree asks "No, there isn't, she always wears it" Chase says, Harper galres at him.

"uh...When you say always, you mean even..." Kaz asks "I mean always" Chase says and smirks in Harper's direction, Kaz presses his lips together and scratches his head.

"Shut up I know you like it" Harper says going towards him with a smile "I never said I didn't like it" Chase says he puts his arm around her.

"It's so hot" Chase whisper in her ear and kisses her face, Harper smiles biting her lip "It's really hot, it's leather in the sun" Harper says shaking the Jacket on her body, Chase rolls his eyes.

"you know what kind of hot I'm talking about" Chase smirk "Do I know? Why don't you show me?" Harper teases him, Chase pulls her into a quick but passionate kiss.

Oliver looks at the two "Hey Skylar, do you know what's hot?" Oliver smirk "be more original Oliver" Skylar says "uh...do you know what's cold?" Oliver tries, Skylar laughs.

"You're cute" Skylar says "I wanted to hear more than just a cute, but a few months ago I didn't even have that so okay" Oliver says to himself frustrated.

"Hey Grace, where's your boyfriend, isn't he coming?" Adam says "he's just coming late" Grace says.

"He's always late, don't you mind that?" Bree says, spreading a towel on the sand "no because he...he's just too busy with work" Grace says thoughtfully.

Skylar comes to Oliver "Oliver, can you put sunscreen on my back?" Skylar asks, Oliver widens his eyes in surprise "oh I've been waiting for this moment my whole life!" Oliver says excitedly, taking the sunscreen, Skylar frowns and gives a delicate laugh.

"I'll call Drew" Grace picks up the phone Bree lies down to sunbath, she sighs relaxing, Kaz takes off his flip flops to go to the sea but he stops and starts watching Bree thoughtfully.

Oliver notices Kaz's gaze "Uh Kaz?" Oliver says "Uh?" Kaz says looking away "everything okay?" Oliver says "yeah I just thought I saw a crab" Kaz says.

Oliver is thoughtful, he noticed that Kaz has been acting strange lately, he seems to be hiding something, what worries Oliver is that Kaz never hides anything from him.

"Hey look! There's an event over there!" Skylar points out "true, look there's a poster for a competition for couples!" Oliver says.

"That looks cool" Chase says "Do you want to go there?" Harper asks "sure" Skylar says taking Oliver's hand, everyone goes.

Bree notices them leaving "hey don't leave me here!" Bree gets up and follows them.

Grace turns off her cell phone "What happened?" Adam asks "Drew is stuck at work I don't know if he's going to come" Grace says upset.

"Oh I'm sorry" Adam says "It's Okay" Grace puts the phone away "calm down I'll keep you company" Adam smiles "Really!?" Grace says excitedly.

"yeah!" Adam says "Cool! Let's go, there's a fair nearby, I want to Go!" Grace grabs his hand and pulls him "Let's go!" Grace says excitedly "Oh okay" Adam says.

......................................................................

Adam and Grace go to the fair, Adam observes the lively way that Grace walks, she doesn't walk, she does little delicate jumps as she walks, Adam holds back a smile.

Grace notices his gaze and begins to walk normally, putting her hair behind her ear.

"So, what's your boyfriend like?" Adam asks "Oh he's nice" Grace says "nice?" Adam says.

"yes he's...a model" Grace says looking at the sea, Adam rolls his eyes with a look that says "yeah big deal" sarcastically.

"And his mom owns one of the fanciest clothing stores in town, he got me a job as a saleswoman there!" Grace says "Really?" Adam says.

"yeah! It's been great, his mom has been giving me tips that are helping me with my college education" Grace says "wait so you work, study and train to be a hero?" Adam asks "yes!" Grace smile.

"All at the same time?" Adam says in awe "of course, how else am I going to be a famous fashion designer by day and a great hero by night!" Grace says, taking a heroic pose, Adam chuckles.

"No I just said that because, it must be exhausting, I couldn't afford to study and go on missions, and part of it was because I didn't really care about studying" Adam shrugs.

"well, yeah, but no one ever said it would be easy I'm aware of that" Grace says "Don't you care about that?" Adam says.

"No, it's not worth giving up on dreams because they are difficult to achieve, difficulties are temporary, if everything were easy what would be the fun in living?" Grace says "It's impressive" Adam says, Grace smiles, she receives a message from Drew.

"Is that Drew?" Adam asks "yes, he's coming later this afternoon" Grace says "Oh" Adam says slightly uncomfortable.

He doesn't understand why but for some reason he doesn't feel like meeting Drew at all.

"Drew said he bought me flowers, it's cute right" Grace smiles but she thinks better of it and the smile disappears "oh but I'm allergic to flowers" Grace says.

"you never told him that?" Adam asks "yes but I think he must not have been paying attention" Grace says frustrated, Adam shakes his head "what an asshole" Adam says to himself.

He frowns thoughtfully, maybe he just has a bad thing about Drew for no reason, for him it was the most logical conclusion.

"Have you told him about your training?" Adam asks "No! He can't know, I promised the team I would never tell anyone anything, it's the first rule of the Elite Force, don't talk about the Elite Force" Grace says "Oh yeah, sure" Adam says.

"Oh look they're selling beach clothes here it comes I need a beach hat!" Grace says excitedly pulling Adam with her.

"you know I know how to walk alone right!" Adam says "No you don't!" Grace smiles, Adam rolls his eyes.

......................................................................

Grace starts looking at the hats at the fair, Adam also looks at some hats.

"So, Adam, which one is better? This one" Grace puts on a hat "or this one?" Grace changes the hat "and is there a difference?" Adam asks, Grace glares at him.

"Just says which one is better?" Grace says "they're both look good" Adam says "you're cute but this is serious!" Grace says.

"Okay this one" Adam points out "I liked this one too! You have good taste!" Grace says looking in a mirror "I still think they are both exactly the same but okay" Adam says.

Grace shakes her head and continues trying on hats, suddenly someone puts a radio playing the song Cake by The Ocean next to them, Grace gasps.

"I love this song!" Grace smiles excitedly, Adam begins to recognize the song, Grace begins to hum and sway to the beat of the song, Adam watches her dance excitedly to the music.

She starts humming the song while dancing "I'm going blind from this sweet, sweet craving, whoa, oh, Let's lose our minds and go fucking crazy" Grace sings, everyone starts looking at her.

She just doesn't care she just enjoys it, Adam smiles watching her sing and dance just having fun with the moment freely "I-I-I-I-I keep on hoping we'll eat cake by the ocean hey!" Grace sings.

Adam starts to tilt his head as he looks at her getting lost in his own thoughts, she feels his gaze and stops dancing.

"sorry I get carried away sometimes I..." "No, Go on!" Adam says "What!?" Grace is surprised "it's the best part!" Adam starts dancing to the music.

"don't you think that's embarrassing?" Grace asks "Of course not! We're just having fun, it's not a crime!" Adam says "yeah i guess...Drew always says no one dances in public places, and that life is not a musical" Grace puts her hair behind her ear.

"hey I've done a lot worse things in public places than dance!" Adam says, Grace laughs "Don't let anyone tell you what you can and can't do!" Adam says dancing, Grace laughs at the way he dances, she follows him.

Grace holds out her hand for him to dance with her, Adam looks at her hand for a second, he calmly takes her hand, he feels a slight shiver when he touches her hand.

Grace smiles approaching him and taking his other hand, the two dance in the middle of the fair, Grace looks Adam in the eyes "you're good at this!" Grace says.

Adam just nods and takes a deep breath, he looks nervous and confused at the same time, when the music stops some people around applaud.

Grace puts her hair behind her ear, Adam takes her hat and asks people for money in it, and they do.

"Adam!" Grace says "what? Did you really think we were going to waste our talent like this?" Adam smiles, Grace laughs and takes the money.

"Let's get out of here!" Adam says taking her hand they both run away and leave some money by the hat.

......................................................................

Adam and Grace walk along the beach, Grace is trying to balance on a small wall that puts her at Adam's height, and he walks next to her.

"There's another question!" Grace says "Send it!" Adam says "what would you do if you weren't bionic?" Grace asks "would try to become bionic" Adam smiles, Grace laughs.

"do you want to be bionic!?" Adam asks "No, everyone who wasn't and became bionic had to go through something horrible before, like Harper and Leo, I don't want that" Grace says.

"You don't need bionics, you're already pretty tough, Smiley Face" Adam smirk "Do you think so?" Grace says "I saw it" Adam says, Grace smiles proudly.

"I mean the outside doesn't make it seem like it but..." Adam says, Grace shakes her head "Well, the same goes for you" Grace says.

"what do you mean?" Adam says "Come on, you're the guy with super strength, you're the most dangerous bionic but you're..." Grace says "What?" Adam it says.

"You're not scary, you're kind" Grace says, Adam smiles and blushes slightly at the way she said that "Thanks, Smiley Face" Adam smiles.

"Ahg! you still insist on that!" Grace says, she trips over the wall and Adam catches her by the waist, Grace hugs his neck "be careful!" Adam says "I'm sorry" Grace says looking into his eyes.

Adam smiles at her "what?" Grace smiles "I've never met someone as radiant as you, you know that?" Adam says "Have you ever looked in the mirror?" Grace smiles.

Adam looks down shyly, and he pulled her closer, taking her back to the wall she was on top of, his hands that were on her waist go behind her back.

Grace touches the tip of his nose smiling, Adam looks into her eyes, Grace starts to play with his hair, when she looks back into his eyes she moves away, clearing her throat.

"do you want..." Adam lets her go, scratching his head "Ice cream?" Grace asks "yes, that's what I was going to say" Adam says nervously "Yes!" Grace smiles "Okay" Adam says.

......................................................................

Adam and Grace go to the ice cream cart.

"So which flavor do you want?" Adam asks, Grace looks at the ice creams "Aww they all look so good" Grace says.

Adam thinks and takes out his wallet "let's buy them all then" Adam says "what!?" Grace says "Let's get one of each, it's on me" Adam smiles.

"Adam you don't need to do that" Grace smiles "hey, don't get excited, it's not because of you Smiley Face, I always do that" Adam says "Oh okay" Grace smiles putting her hair behind her ear.

Grace helps Adam with all the flavors of ice cream and they go to a nearby table "Wow that's a lot of ice cream" Grace laughs "I'm glad there are two of us" Adam smiles, Grace gets an ice cream.

"Do you have any more questions?" Grace ask "Uh, why does Donald Duck tie a towel around his waist when he gets out of the shower if he never wears pants?" Adam asks.

"Ooh! well, I think it's just a way to show that he got out of the shower" Grace thinks "Why does he take a bath if he's a duck?" Adam asks.

"Because no one wants to watch a cartoon about a dirty duck" Grace says, Adam chuckles "I would watch it" Adam laughs, Grace laughs too.

"I've always wanted someone to talk to about serious subjects like that" Adam says "what do you mean? What about the others" Grace ask.

"We live on different worlds, I think" Adam says "Yeah, I know Skylar lived on another planet, the rest of them I don't know..." Grace says, Adam smirks seeing that she doesn't understand what he means but he lets it go.

"But Oliver looks like an alien to me, if I were to suspect someone it's an alien it would be Oliver" Grace says, Adam laughs.

"What flavor is that?" Grace asks "I think it's hazelnut cream, do you want it?" Adam offers the ice cream, Grace nods as she goes to get the ice cream.

Adam smears the ice cream on her nose, Grace gasps in surprise "I can't believe you did that!" Grace says "Oops!" Adam says, Grace takes another ice cream and smears it on Adam's cheek.

"Woah calm down!" Adam laughs, Grace rubs her nose, taking out the ice cream and licking her finger, Adam does the same.

"So what do you want to do now?" Adam asks, Grace turns to him and sighs "Maybe we..." "Grace!" They are interrupted by a voice that calls Grace from afar, it's Drew.

"Drew!" Grace gets up from the table as Drew approaches them, Adam watches Drew come "You're here!!" Grace runs up to Drew and hugs him excitedly, Adam sets the ice cream tubs on the table.

"Sweetie sorry I'm late" Drew says "at least you came" Grace smiles and pulls Drew in for a kiss, Adam looks away and sighs, Grace breaks the kiss.

"I missed you" Grace says "me too" Drew smiles and notices Adam at the table.

"Who is this?" Drew says in a not very friendly tone "Oh he's my friend" Grace says, Adam stands up.

"Friend?" Drew frowns "Hi man, I'm Adam" Adam greets Drew "Drew, Grace's boyfriend" Drew says "I know she talked a lot about you" Adam says.

"it's funny I never heard anything about you" Drew says, Adam looks at Grace "uh...he moved to Davenport Tower recently, he's Bree and Chase's brother" Grace says.

"Oh you're bionic?" Drew says "Yes, and what do you have?" Adam smirks, Grace frowns at Adam's tone, Drew smiles sarcastically.

"manners, I see" Drew says "Drew!" Grace says "Sorry, I forgot you're a model, I've also posed as a model, you know" Adam says "You?" Drew laughs.

"Yes, you know, it's inevitable not to be photographed when you're a bionic hero known around the world...Wait, aren't you the guy who posed for the acne soap commercial?.." Adam says, Grace controls her laughter, Drew rolls his eyes.

"yes" Drew says "Oh yeah, you're the guy in the commercial who didn't use the soap" Adam laughs, Drew grits his teeth.

"Okay I'm glad you two met but I think it's better we go" Grace laughs awkwardly "I agree, come on sweetie" Drew says.

"wait! my ice cream!" Grace gets an ice cream "you can take them all if you want" Adam says.

"Not only is this one good, but thank you, I had a lot of fun today" Grace says "Me too, take care Smiley Face" Adam smiles "see you later" Grace smiles.

She goes to Drew and the two start walking hand in hand, Adam watches them walk away, he sighs slightly upset but doesn't understand why, he just wanted to spend more time with Grace, he continues to eat the ice cream

......................................................................

"Did you spend all day with this guy?" Drew asks "yeah he's cool right?" Grace smiles.

"I didn't like him" Drew says "why not?" Grace licks her ice cream "need I say?" Drew says angrily "give him a chance" Grace says.

"I'll try, but I don't like him and I find it difficult to change my opinion" Drew says "he's cool, you'll see" Grace says.

"Ice cream?" Grace offers the ice cream "Jeez no sweetie, sugar and fat I'm on a diet!" Drew says, Grace rolls her eyes "sorry babe but you know my job depends on it" Drew says "Yes I know, it's okay" Grace says.

She and Drew continue walking, she looks back and chuckles when she sees Adam licking the ice cream that has run down to his elbow.

She presses her lips together to stop smiling as she turns to Drew again thoughtful.

......................................................................

Chase and Harper are walking along the beach hand in hand, when they see Adam.

"is he ok?" Chase says "He looks thoughtful" Harper says "that's what worries me, it's Adam... thinking about something!" Chase says, Harper sighs.

"You're right, there's something wrong, Let's go!" Harper pulls Chase.

"Hey buddy" Harper says, Adam is sitting on a pier looking out to sea but he looks upset "Hi guys, what happened to you? Where are the others" Adam asks.

"Well, a lot happened, it's a long story" Chase says he sits next to Adam and Harper sits on the other side.

"Chase is that in your hair... whipped cream?" Adam says, Chase wipes his hair "like I said a lot happened" Chase says.

"are you okay?" Harper ask "yes" Adam says, Chase frowns "Why so many ice creams?" Chase asks "I was sharing it with Grace" Adam says.

Harper looks back and sees Grace and Drew walking hand in hand, Adam licks the ice cream thoughtfully, Chase looks at him worriedly.

Harper nudges Chase, she points at Grace and Drew, Chase looks at them, he looks back at Harper.

She moves her lips silently telling him "it's because of her" Chase looks at them "you think so?" Chase signals back, Harper nods "why?" Chase signals, Harper shrugs.

"How was your day with Grace?" Chase asks, Adam smiles "It was amazing! She's amazing" Adam says

Harper and Chase look at each other.

"That's great!" Harper says "Have you guys met Drew yet? What's up with that guy" Adam says, Chase and Harper exchange looks again.

"Yeah, he's a pain in the ass" Harper says, Chase glares at her "He's difficult" Chase says "You called him preppy once" Harper says "hey that's...yes I did but it wasn't nice" Chase says.

"Wait so you guys don't like him?" Adam says "Not that we don't, he doesn't fit in with our group" Chase says "Everyone agrees with that" Harper says.

"why don't you guys say anything to Grace?" Adam says "Uh because she likes him, she seems happy with him" Chase says.

"yeah, In the few seconds he's not posing for a camera, she looks happy," Harper says sarcastically.

"But we need to do something, he's not a good boyfriend for her!" Adam says "Adam, it's not up to us to decide that" Chase says "Yes you're right" Adam sighs.

"but I don't like seeing him with her" Adam says "why not?" Harper asks as if she knows the answer "I don't know but I think she could be happier than that" Adam says.

Chase pats him on the back, Harper puts her head on Adam's shoulder and they watch the sea.

{(what happened to Chase, Harper and the rest of the team during that time will be shown in the next chapter!)}
