At Mission Command.

Grace is practicing target practice while dodging lasers launched towards her by a high-tech sphere controlled by Chase that is on the console on the right side of the room.

Grace dodges the laders and hits the targets with great precision,Chase turns off the sphere.

"okay Grace, I think that's it for today" Chase says "How did I do?" Grace says putting the gun on the console.

"Great, I must admit that the results of your recent training sessions have surprised me a lot..." Chase says "Seriously!?" Grace smiles excitedly.

"yes, your aim and reflexes are impressive" Chase says "Thanks!" Grace smiles proudly.

"are you sure you never shot before you started training?" Chase asks "I've actually shot before, but a long time ago" Grace says.

"really?" Chase asks "yes, my dad was a police officer and when I was little he showed me some things but I barely remember" Grace says.

"Your father? You never talked about him" Chase says "it's because he and my mother died when I was still a child, that's why I was raised by my aunt, but he was a police officer so... maybe I took after him" Grace with an upset smile.

"I'm sorry" Chase says "It's okay I barely remember them" Grace says.

"Well, but maybe that justifies your talents, your father was a hero you must be like him" Chase smiles, Grace thinks.

"yeah, you must be right!...Thanks Chase!" Grace smiles "You're welcome...here, extend your arm" Chase tells her with a tape measure in his hand.

"Uh are you going to make me a sleeve?" Grace asks extending her arm to him "Nope" Chase measures her arm from wrist to elbow.

"So what's that for?" Grace asks "Well, since you have been progressing quickly in your training, we need to prepare ourselves for the moment when you go out on real missions. With that in mind, I decided to design personalized equipment for you..."Chase writes something down and puts away the measuring tape.

"so I'm developing this super powerful laser gun that would be attached to your arm, making it easier to aim and not stopping you from using more weapons or losing it and be vulnerable during battle" Chase shows Grace the weapon's prototype.

"Woah, you're doing this for me!" Grace says impressed looking at the prototype "Yup, I mean, you..." "Thank you Chase, thank you thank you thank you!!" He is interrupted by a tight and excited hug from Grace.

"Uh.." Chase says confused, patting her on the head "You're amazing!!" Grace says excitedly, still hugging him.

"and you're a hugger, I think I have to get used to that" Chase says gently pushing her away.

"Sorry, but seriously this is the most incredible thing I've ever seen.." Grace tries to touch the device and Chase holds his hand "So don't touch it yet!" Chase says, Grace puts her hands behind her back.

Chase continues working and Grace looks around thoughtfully and lets out a loud sigh, Chase continues working and ignores her, but she wants to draw his attention to something.

She sighs loudly again,Chase continues what he's doing, she approaches him and sighs impatiently again, which it makes Chase break a wire in the prototype that he didn't want to break.

"Grace!" Chase says impatiently, he closes his eyes "What happened?" Chase smiles sarcastically.

"uh, no, forget you're busy, I'll talk to you later" Grace starts to leave "Grace!" Chase says "okay okay" Grace returns.

"uh Chase, you're smart and all, could you answer me a question?" Grace ask "Sure" Chase says.

"So...do dreams have meaning?" Grace says "What did you dream?" Chase asks "It doesn't matter, does it have meaning or not?" Grace asks.

"Wait, so you, the fairy tale lady, are asking me for a logical explanation about dreams, is that right?" Chase smirk "just answer me Chase!" Grace says.

"Well...Dreams represent the dreamer's psychology, according to psychoanalysis, dreams are capable of expressing, for example, our deepest and most hidden fears and desires, issues that we do not have direct access to when we are awake, so yes, they have meaning beyond being a valuable source of self-knowledge" Chase concludes, Grace looks at him scared and confused.

"Oh boy" Grace says "What? What did you dream?" Chase asks "Nothing was just curiosity" Grace laughs nervously.

"Okay then, any other questions I'm here" Chase smiles "stop, it won't happen so soon" Grace says and Chase glares at her.

At the college where Melody works, she has just finished an astrology class, she is organizing things, her boss, Dr Austin knocks on the door.

"Dr Stone?" Dr Austin asks "Hello sir, relax, I'm going to clear the room and I'll be back in the lab soon and I won't bother you anymore" Melody says.

"Do you know how you wouldn't bother me anymore? Going home!" Dr Austin says "What?" Melody says worriedly.

"Oh no, I'm not firing you I'm just saying that as the vacation period is about to start it would be Interesting if you take the opportunity to take some break and relax, you know? Like a normal person" Dr Austin says.

"Oh I don't see that happening sir I have a Nobel Prize to win and future Nobel Prize winners to teach" Melody smiles.

"But haven't you finished your last semester's grades?" Dr Austin says "Of course yes, I did, I did everything and more sir!" Melody smiles proudly.

"But as I always say no to anything good that can't get better, that's why I decided to change and organize some things, I even put together a schedule to help with the organization and progress of the students, look It's everything here in the blocks..." Melody turns over one of the whiteboards revealing a schedule separated by blocks, which was spray-painted with a swear word.

"...that someone spray-painted it...okay who did it!?" Melody says towards the hallway annoyed, Dr Austin sighs impatiently.

"Okay Dr Stone you are to be congratulated! but could you please consider a vacation or at least leave the lab for a week or two...so you know? Get a life!" Dr Austin says "I have a life Dr. Austin I have children" Melody says.

"and?" Dr Austin says "What do you mean and? there are two children, they are my life, the boy is in that phase of having stupid ideas and the girl has a boyfriend and is a bionic teenage, I think my life is pretty busy" Melody says.

"But what about you?" Dr Austin asks "what about me?" Melody asks "when was the last time you focused on you!? No job, no kids, you!" Dr Austin asks, Melody thinks.

"like...when was the last time you had a date Dr Stone?" He asks "My love life is none of your business, Dr Austin" Melody says.

"You're right, but if you have someone, go on a date or find someone, just stop thinking about work, and I say this not as your boss but as your friend Melody" Dr Austin leaves.

"Does that mean you won't help me find out who spray-painted my blocks!?" Melody says but he's already far away she sighs.

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

Harper and Grace are at the kitchen counter having a snack, Harper is looking at her cell phone and Grace seems distant.

"Grace, I was thinking about ordering Chinese food today, would you like anything else?" Harper says "Adam" Grace sighs and quickly covers her mouth with her eyes wide, Harper frowns.

"Wait what?" Harper smirk "Um uh...I like spring rolls if you don't mind" Grace laughs nervously "Fuck the Chinese food I'm more interested in what just happened here" Harper laughs.

Chase walks in "What just happened here?" Chase asks going to Harper "Nothing!" Grace says.

"Uh, I don't know, Chase, do you happen to know of a Chinese restaurant that serves this "Adam" thing that Grace wants so much on the menu?" Harper smirk, Grace starts biting her coat sleeve turning red, Chase frowns.

"wait did you really say that?" Chase ask "No I said spring rolls, your girlfriend is deaf!" Grace says "Even if I were, i think the two words are different in many ways" Harper says.

"Does this have anything to do with your recent dreams?" Chase asks "Shut up Chase!" Grace says.

"Dreams!? Have you been having dreams, about Adam?" Harper smiles "I never said that" Grace says.

"You don't need to say anything, we got the signals, after all look who you're talking to" Chase smirk putting his arm around Harper, she agrees.

"Well, even if I had what I didn't have, and as much as I liked what I didn't like... that doesn't change anything" Grace says "Oh that changes everything!" Harper smiles excitedly, Chase frowns at her.

"Harp don't over react" Chase says "I'm not that's wow!" Harper smiles, Chase rolls his eyes "No it's not wow! It can't be wow!it has to be like...Eww or Blah!" Grace says worried.

"How was it?" Harper asks "do you really want to hear that description?" Chase asks with a look of disgust, Harper looks at Grace and she shakes her head no.

"Yes, you're right, I don't want to hear that at all" Harper says disgusted, Grace sighs.

"Forget it, I'm going to go walk and I don't know stop thinking about it" Grace says "Good luck with that" Chase says sarcastically "Aw thanks" Grace says, she leaves.

Harper grabs Chase's arm in celebration and shakes him hard "Oh My God!" Harper says excitedly "Okay Harper calm down, it's not a big deal" Chase says.

"How not! It means she likes Adam, he'll be so happy to know!" Harper says "Woah calm down, we can't tell Adam" Chase says, Harper sighs.

"you saw how confused that made Grace, we're only going to make things worse" Chase says "you're right...but we can help them!" Harper says, Chase laughs and goes to the fridge.

"what's so funny?" Harper crosses her arms "us!? help them in the relationship area? us!?" Chase grabs a bottle of water.

"Stop stating the obvious and get straight to the point" Harper says "honey, no offense but I don't even know how we can keep this going..." Chase points to himself and Harper.

"I don't think we know how to do that with other people, remember what we were like when it came to flirting before we met?" Chase drinks water "Well, it only has to work once, doesn't it?" Harper says.

"I'm saying that, we have a lot of knowledge about relationships but in our own way and from our point of view, so what works for us won't work for them" Chase says.

"You're right but I don't see why you shouldn't just give him a little push" Harper says "why are you so into this?" Chase asks.

"because it's Adam! He's my best friend, and you have no idea how much support he gave me when I fell in love with you, I wanted to reciprocate, I think he deserves it" Harper says.

"That's nice of you, but Harper, when other people interfere in other people's relationships it rarely helps... remember how things ended when Adam, Bree and Leo tried to pressure me into asking you out?" Chase says.

"It ended with me having to give Spike a good beating...Yeah, I'd say it all ended well, I at least had fun" Harper smirk "I'd say it's not a good idea" Chase says.

"Come on Chase, it's your brother and your best friend" Harper says "Grace isn't my best friend" Chase frowns "I know I'm just appealing emotionally" Harper says, Chase rolls his eyes.

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

The next day Melody arrives at work, Dr Austin enters her laboratory.

"Dr Stone you're here...again?" Dr Austin says "of course, science doesn't wait Dr" Melody says.

"I see you declined my vacation offer" Dr Austin says "Actually, Since I won't be working on anything related to my lesson plans or university projects, I would say that I accepted the vacation, and I'm enjoying it in my own way" Melody smiles.

"Dr Stone, with all due respect, even for someone with a PhD, you are too nerdy" Dr Austin says, Melody rolls her eyes.

"Anyway, I think you remember that we had openings for lab assistants right?" Dr Austin says "I don't need assistants" Melody says.

"but the university does, Doctor, this isn't just about you" Dr Austin says "Oh" Melody says "after a lot of searching I think we found someone qualified for the position, and she's here now to see you" Dr Austin says with a smirk.

"Oh okay, let her in!" Melody says "Okay! Hey Terry come in" Dr Austin says "Terry?" Melody says, Perry enters the room.

"Hello blondie" Perry say "Wait, is she the lab assistant?" Melody asks "Do you see anyone else here to be?" Perry says.

"And since when are you qualified to be a laboratory assistant?" Melody says "Actually the qualifications we require are quite simple" Dr Austin says.

"Wait do you know who she is?" Melody says "that depends, do you want to work with her? Because she will stay here until the start of next semester" Dr Austin says.

"You hired her so I would have a reason not to come here and force me to take a vacation!?" Melody says "I never said that but it's a hypothesis" Dr Austin says, Melody gasps.

"Very immature of you Dr Austin" Melody says "Why don't you fire her right away?" Perry says "because unlike you, I have the qualifications to be in the position I am in this university" Melody says.

"Uhg bla bla bla I'm blonde and I have a squeaky voice bla bla bla" Perry says "I think that deserves a dismissal for cause, don't you?" Melody says.

"I'm not on my shift yet, genius!" Perry says "Well, have fun girls, because you're going to spend a lot of time together" Dr Austin leaves and Melody and Perry look at each other irritably

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

Chase is in his room reading a book when Harper walks in excitedly.

"Look at this, I invited Grace and Adam to go to the movies to watch a horror movie today" Harper shows Chase the conversation.

"but now that they're both there I'm going to say I can't go, Baam!" Harper says "Serious? That's so cliché do you really think it's going to work?" Chase says.

"it's Adam and Grace it won't be that difficult" Harper says "So are you really going to do this?" Chase asks "yes, do you want to help me!?" Harper says.

"what can I do!?" Chase asks "I don't know yet but our two minds together can have a much better result" Harper smiles, Chase smiles at her.

"You're so adorable" Chase says "and you're the only one who can call me that" Harper says, Chase smiles "okay fine, let's work on this cupid project of yours" Chase says.

"Really?" Harper says "yes, and by the way horror movie? It wasn't by chance, was it? "Chase ask.

"well, Grace seems like the type to get scared and throw herself into the arms of whoever is next to her, you know... like you" Harper smirk, Chase looks at her irritated "it was just once" Chase says.

"relax I was there to protect you from the evil clown" Harper says as if talking to a child and makes a pout with her mouth mocking him "It's not funny" Chase says.

"Aw I think it's so damn cute" Harper says softly and wrinkles her nose, Chase blushes he looks her in the eyes as he takes a deep breath "uh Okay let's see how they are" Chase says nervously.

He takes out his cell phone to text Adam as he gets up quickly, Harper smiles.

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

Melody is on her snack break, she goes to the teacher's room to get her usual yogurt, she opens the fridge and sees the yogurt container with her name empty.

"My yogurt!" Melody takes the pot "Who made this!? Who's the kind of monster that disrespects a name tag!?" Melody says angrily.

"To be honest, nobody cares about tags, blondie" Perry enters licking the spoon he used to eat Melody's yogurt.

"So the question should be who is the loser who respects a name tag" Perry laughs.

"You ate my yogurt!" Melody says in disbelief "You bet I did" Perry laughs "My yogurt!!" Melody says disappointed "Yup, by the way, it was a little sugar free,so I used all the sugar near the coffee machine too" Perry says.

"it was light yogurt... why did you do that!? In all the years I've worked here, no one has even looked at my yogurt, do you know why? Because it's mine!" Melody says.

"Woah calm down it's just a yogurt" Perry says "No it's not, it's part of my routine and now you ruined it, what should I do now?" Melody says.

"Wow, you have serious problems, don't you?" Perry says, Melody sighs "They're not problems, I'm just systematic" Melody says "No, you're crazy" Perry says.

"Maybe I'm stressed by having you around me all the time!" Melody says "It's very likely" Perry says "why Perry, why you took this job you've already retired, what's your deal?" Melody crosses her arms.

"Blondie, look at it this way, they basically offered me a position where I need to bother the hell out of you and I'll still get a paid for it, I'm in heaven!" Perry laughs.

"You're unbelievable" Melody says "I know but I don't care" Perry says, Melody sighs and leaves the room "I'll see you later blonde," Perry says

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

Melody goes out into the hallway and sits on the stairs to calm down and try to find a way to get rid of Perry.

The janitor approaches he has a mop in his hand and a white cap that covers his face, but you can see that he is a middle-aged man with a gray beard but not so much.

"Woah you look upset, like someone ate your yogurt" the janitor says, Melody looks at him "Yeah it was almost like that" Melody frowns.

"How are you, Dr Stone?" The janitor asks "I'm not getting along very well with the new lab assistant" Melody says.

It's not the first time she's talked to this janitor, he always asks about her day and how her family is doing, but he rarely talks about himself, always mysterious but kind.

"I don't understand why you don't take a vacation, it would be good for you" the janitor says, Melody sighs.

"I don't know, I don't even know how I became this, this super systematic, workaholic woman" Melody says.

"Relax doctor, I assure you that nothing bad will happen to you... I feel like you're scared to stop working like this because you're scared of embracing a version of yourself that you don't want to embrace" the janitor says, Melody thinks.

"but maybe this will be the best version of you" he says, Melody frowns.

"what's your name again?" Melody ask "I'm Ho...uh..Horlando..Orlando!" He laughs nervously "Orlando?" Melody asks.

"yes, it's not at all making it up, it's my real name" Orlando scrubs the floor.

"And where do you live?" Melody asks "Uh near the...bridge" Orlando says "Bridge? From which bridge?" Melody ask "How are the children Dr Stone?" Orlando asks "they are fine" Melody says confused.

"How are your daughter's bionic friends still causing problems?" Orlando laughs kindly "Nothing out of the ordinary" Melody laughs "I'm glad to hear that, it means they're safe" Orlando says, Melody frowns slightly.

Orlando always asks about Harper's friends, and every time he asks Melody gets the feeling that Orlando knows them and cares to know about them.

"Well, I better go, these hallways aren't going to clean themselves" Orlando smiles, Melody smiles back.

"always good to talk to you Orlando" Melody smiles and he leaves.

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

Harper and Chase go to the movie theater where Adam and Grace are, they sit in a chair behind.

"look at them over there" Chase says "Aww aren't they cute" Harper says, Chase looks at her "when it comes to Adam you're a really weird friend" Chase says.

"That's how best friends work Chase" Harper says "what do you mean by that?" Chase says, Harper looks at him.

"I have a best friend!" Chase says "and who is it?" Harper asks "uh...you!" Chase says "I can't be your best friend" Harper says.

"why not?" Chase says, Harper thinks "well I guess you can't get laid with your best friend" Harper says confused.

"Friends with benefits!" Chase says "we're not friends with benefits" Harper says "okay so I don't have a best friend!" Chase says irritated.

"Shhh!" A guy behind them says, they both look at him irritated.

"Okay what's the plan?" Chase asks "to help create a romantic atmosphere between them" Harper says "How?" Chase asks.

"I don't know, any little silly thing helps like...look they're sharing a bowl of popcorn, they need to touch hands" Harper says "Oh this is getting ridiculous" Chase says rolling his eyes.

"I'm trying okay, I'm not good at being a romantic" Harper says "how not ? for me you're perfect at it" Chase says, Harper smiles "Aw that's why I love you" Harper says and kisses him lightly.

"Uhg, geez!" the guy behind them complains again rolling your eyes in disgust, they both look at him irritated again.

"Okay I have a plan" Harper says "what is it?" Chase asks "let's use molecularkinesis to hold Adam's hand on the bowl until Grace touches the bowl again" Harper says, Chase frowns at first.

"okay then" Chase waits until Adam puts his hand back on the bowl and uses molecularkinesis to hold Adam's hand on the bowl.

"Yes!" Harper says, Grace puts her hand on the edge of the bowl and Harper uses molecularkinesis to move her hand on top of Adam's.

"Got It!" Chase says, Adam and Grace touch hands, they look at each other and smile awkwardly and shyly, they try to take their hands off the bowl but they can't they are confused by it.

"Oh okay now let go" Harper says stop using the bionics and Adam and Grace let go of their hands confused "Sorry" Adam says "it's ok" Grace blushes and tucks her hair behind her ear.

"it's working!" Harper says "Okay, but I think we can do one more thing" Chase says he uses molecularkinesis to try to get Adam to put his arm around Grace when he was going to stretch.

Adam frowns when he sees his arm going towards Grace, he tries to hold his arm "What are you doing?" Adam says to his arm, Chase continues.

"Stop!" Adam says, Grace looks at him "Adam, what happened?" Grace ask "My arm is coming back against me" Adam says trying to hold his own arm, Grace gasps.

"what did you do to it?" Grace says "I don't know" Adam says "Okay Chase didn't work, let go of his arm" Harper says.

Adam ends up spotting Chase and Harper in the back seats "what?" Adam looks at them "he saw it!" Chase and Harper duck.

When they do this Chase disables molecularkinesis because it results in Adam punching himself "Adam!" Grace goes to help him.

"Let's get out of here!" Chase says "It's about time!" The guy says.

"oh fuck you!" Harper says "Harper!" Chase says "sorry, i meant, please sir screw you" Harper smiles sarcastically and Chase pulls her out of the room.

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

Melody goes back to the lab and there is Perry.

"okay all the beckers are organizing by size now all I need to do is..." Melody goes to the whiteboard with the schedule in blocks again, she turns it over and sees it painted again.

"What the...!?" Melody says, Perry laughs "Oh it's funny every time" Perry says.

"So it was you this whole time!?" Melody says "Yes, I saw that the table was yours so I decided to cheer it up" Perry says.

"Okay that's it, Perry, when are you going to grow up and stop picking on me just because of Douglas!?" Melody says "the day you leave this planet and explode into the sun" Perry says.

"You are being very childish!" Melody says "No, you are childish!" Perry says, Melody rolls her eyes.

"I'm getting tired of being nice to you Terry!" Melody says "What are you going to do?" Perry says "I wouldn't abuse my kindness, in the old days I was a big problem girl, I've dealt with people much worse than you and I came out unscathed so be careful!" Melody threatens.

"You don't scare me blonde, it will never shake me whether you accept it or not" Perry says and sits down putting her feet on the laboratory table, Melody looks at her feet and makes an angry face.

Melody thinks for a second and smiles "You know I just didn't go on a date with Douglas because I refused, right?" Melody says "what?" Perry says.

"I mean he's asked me out over and over again, but I'm the one who didn't want to" Melody says calmly sitting at one of the lab tables.

"where are you going, blondie?" Perry says "What I'm trying to say is...Do you really want to mess with the woman who has Douglas in the palm of her hand?" Melody crosses her legs whit a threatening tone.

"You wouldn't" Perry says "try me!" Melody says firmly.

"You don't have the nerve" Perry says "Oh, do you want to see? Look at who's number I have here, I can ask him out right now and I'm sure he'll come running" Melody smirk, fixing her hair and according to the cell phone as if you were going to make a video call.

"Here, call Douglas..""stop!" Perry interrupts Melody, Melody looks at him and smiles.

"Don't come anywhere near him!" Perry says "then don't get in my way Terry" Melody says threateningly and standing up and walking confidently walking out of the room.

"Otherwise, I'd love to have some warm company for dinner" Melody says at the door showing cell phone, giving Perry a wink, Perry glares at her, growling in anger.

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

Harper and Chase are in their room, pretending they've never been to the movies, Adam knocks on their door and enters the room irritated.

"Oh what's up Adam, how was it with Grace?" Harper smiles "you guys tell me since obviously you were watching the whole thing, and I'm not talking about the movie!" Adam says.

"Are you sure it was us, you know, sometimes it was a couple just like us" Chase says Harper agrees.

"Chase, you are smart, tell me what is the possibility of a couple like you also having molecularkines?" Adam says "I'm surprised by his remark" Harper says.

"You two guys made me fight my own arm!" Adam says dramatically.

"Sorry Adam...But it was Harper's fault" Chase says, Harper glares at him "I got carried away with her, when it comes to her this girl has a lot of influence on me" Chase says "thank you Chase" Harper smiles sarcastically.

"Harper why were you there?" Adam asks "I just wanted to help" Harper says "help with what?" Adam says.

"Grace likes you, and I wanted to give you a little push" Harper says "Wait, does she like me?" Adam says "yes, but it's confusing her so I convinced Chase to help me try to clear things up for her" Harper says.

"You guys were playing cupid for us" Adam says "sort of" Chase says "Yeah" Harper says.

"Thanks guys but I think I can handle this on my own" Adam says "really?" Chase says, Harper sighs.

"I was just excited to finally be able to support you in this just like you supported me" Harper says "aw sis, know if I need any kind of help with this you'll be the first to know" Adam hug them both.

"We'll be here for whatever you need buddy" Chase says "yeah!" Harper smiles "thanks guys" Adam says.

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

Melody was in the penthouse as she spent the afternoon with Harper when she came up the stairs to leave Douglas walks in.

"Hey!" Douglas says "Douglas, I didn't know you were here" Melody smiles.

"I didn't even know you were here, do you want anything?" Douglas ask "I'm not leaving yet, I came to spend the afternoon with Harper" Melody says

"Oh I see, I'm glad you guys are getting along" Douglas says, Melody smiles and takes a deep breath.

"you know, I think I'm going to take a little vacation so I invited Harper and Chase to go with me to visit an exhibition tomorrow" Melody says without looking at him "oh that's really cool" Douglas says.

"Yeah, I was wondering if...by any chance you...I'd be really happy if you joined us" Melody says without knowing where to put her hands.

"Really?" Douglas smiles "Of course..." Melody says excitedly she realizes, and clears her throat "of course that would be cool" Melody says.

"Okay, I'll love to go with you" Dougals says, Melody smiles.

"Uh okay....I have to go" Melody turns and heads towards the door to get her coat, Douglas looks at her and notices the blouse has an open detail on her back, revealing part of a tattoo, Douglas smirk.

"Is that a tattoo?" Douglas asks, Melody turns to him quickly taking her coat and putting it on, she rolls her eyes "It was a long time ago" Melody says.

"oh and do you happen to have any other?" Douglas smiles, Melody shakes her head leaving.

"see you later Douglas" Melody says with a slight smile, Douglas sighs with a smile as he sees her leave.

"I'll get there" Douglas tells himself confidently.
