# Episode 6| The Siren's song
In the living room, Bree and Skylar are watching a romance movie while Harper reads a book next to them on the couch.
Bree and Skylar are thrilled with the movie "Aw they are such a great couple he can't die in the end!" Bree says in a crying tone "No, don't give up on her!" Skylar says in the same tone, both attacking a box of sweets.
Harper puts her hand in front of her mouth, avoiding sob "Why are you crying? You're not even watching the movie!" Bree says "this book....it's so sad" Harper says.
Skylar frowns and looks at the book cover "It's a physics book" Skylar says "I know, but just because the electron has a lighter mass than a proton, for example, they call it negligible!.. It's so rude, Just call it light not negligible!...poor guy" Harper sobs she grabs a whipped cream.
"oh electron you're so
misunderstood!" Harper says squeezing the whipped cream in her mouth, Bree and Skylar look at her confused
"What? I'm emotional today!" Harper says, Bree and Skylar agree.
"Hang in there Nerdy...i mean Bestie!" Bree says, Harper rolls her eyes.
Grace walks in jumping snd smiling "taking about emotional people Grace is here!" Skylar says "I wonder if your cheeks don't hurt from smiling so much all the time" Harper says.
"No, because I have a lot of reasons to be excited today, I have the perfect boyfriend and a costume party to go to, everything is falling into place!!" Grace says excitedly.
"What party?" Harper says "The Centium City Halloween Festival! Every halloween there is a big party in the central park and a costume competition" Grace says.
"Are you and Drew going to participate?" Skylar asks "Yeah! my dream has always been to go to a party like that, in couples' costumes! And I'll finally be able to do this" Grace says.
"Ooh I liked that! I also always wanted to go to a party with a costume that matched Chase's" Harper says "Oh that's cool, maybe Oliver and I can go" Skylar says excitedly "Oh that would be amazing!" Grace says excitedly.
"Cool and I can go with my boyfriend his name is Non...Non-existent" Bree says frustrated "Why didn't you tell me you had a boyfriend! And why didn't you tell me he was French!" Grace says, Bree frowns.
"I don't have a boyfriend, if it wasn't clear to you I'm the ONLY one here who doesn't have a boyfriend!" Bree says "if Non isn't real, yes it's true" Grace says.
"Bree relax, you're not the only single person in the house" Harper says "yes Kaz is single too" Skylar says.
"seriously comparing me to Kaz? As if being single wasn't bad enough!" Bree says "Being single isn't so bad" Harper says.
"oh really? And who are you to say, you've been with Chase for so long that you probably don't even remember the feeling" Bree says.
"I remember, sometimes I even miss it" Harper says "Really?" Bree aks "of course not I was a relationship disaster!" Harper says.
"Bree never stop dreaming, I haven't and look at me now dating a prince!" Grace says "Grace just because he works at the Castle fashion studio doesn't mean he's a prince" Harper says "Have you seen him? He's a prince" Grace says, Harper rolls her eyes.
"But Grace is right, Bree, maybe it's not the right time yet or maybe you've already met your guy but haven't realized it yet" Skylar says "yeah! What if one of my ex boyfriends is the right guy, like Ethan!" Bree says "Or Non!" Grace says.
"I don't think that's what Skylar meant" Harper says "I already texted him too late" Bree says showing her cell phone.
"Oh in that case you don't sound desperate at all" Harper says sarcastically and Bree smiles.
......................................................................
Later Chase is in the kitchen when Harper, Skylar and Grace approach, Skylar and Grace sit on the couch and Harper goes to Chase.
"Oh there's my amazing smart and sexy boyfriend" Harper says holding his arm "what do you want?" Chase says.
"Jeez, I can't pay you a compliment!?" Harper says "not in that tone you just used, I can tell by the tone of your voice that you're not just saying it for the sake of it" Chase says "When did I become so transparent to you?" Harper says irritated, Chase smirks.
"okay, what do you think about us wearing combined costumes at the city's Halloween party tomorrow!?" Harper ask "The same answer I gave Kaz when he asked if we were going trick or treating on this year, no because we're not 8!" Chase says, Harper rolls her eyes.
"Come on Chase, when was the last time you dressed up for something?" Harper asks "a long time ago" Chase says.
"yes and do you know when was the last time I dressed up for something?" Harper says "when?" Chase ask "Never" Harper says.
"really? Never! Have you ever been invited to a costume party?" Chase says "uh...have YOU ever been invited to a costume party?" Harper questions "No" Chase says frustrated, Harper shakes her head.
"That's it we're going to dress up we're going to this party and it's going to be amazing!" Chase says "Now we're talking!" Harper says excitedly and the two give a high five, Chase gives her a kiss and leaves.
"You guys are such a cute couple" Grace says, Harper smiles "just like me and Drew" Grace says "Yes of course" Harper pretends to agree.
"Grace you've only been dating Drew for a week..." Skylar says "yes and?" Grace says "And aren't you afraid of getting too excited and ending up disappointed?" Skylar says.
"Why are you saying that?" Grace says worriedly "I'm your friend, I worry that you're fooling yourself with a guy you just met" Skylar says, Grace thinks.
"I agree with Skylar, after all, besides him being a tall and handsome model, I didn't see much...how can I say...character in him" Harper says "No offense Harper but that coming from you doesn't mean anything, you don't usually like people at first sight....Remember when you met me?" Grace says.
"Yes, I didn't like you much at first, and at second sight.."Harper says "well but and look at us now!" Grace smiles "I still have my doubts" Harper says, Grace glares at her.
"we're just saying you shouldn't get too excited, take it easy" Skylar says, Grace is thoughtful.
Bree enters the room frustrated "Is everything okay Bree?" Skylar asks "No! Ethan is dating!" Bree says "Oh let's invite him and his girlfriend to the party too!" Grace says, Bree glares at her.
"Bree is no harm in being single" Skylar says "You guys don't understand" Bree says She sits on the sofa.
"How do you think I feel when I go out with you guys, each with her boyfriend and I'm there all alone, it's lonely, I just wanted some company a nice guy who liked me" Bree sighs, they all look at each other with pity.
"I'm sorry you feel that way" Skylar says "me too...but I'm not going to stop going out with Drew just to make you happy" Grace says Harper hits her arm.
"I wish there was something that would make a boy fall in love with me like magic in the snap of a finger" Bree says.
"It doesn't exist, I already looked for it, actually, if you see ads saying they are selling magic wands... Don't click!" Grace says scared, Skylar and Bree frown.
Harper thinks "well I can help you with that" Harper says "how?" Bree says "uh I kinda could have made a device with that function a few years ago" Harper scratches the back of her head "Really?" Skylar ask "Yeah" Harper says.
"why?" Bree ask "uh...Scientific purpose!" Harper says nervously, Bree, Grace and Skylar stare at her "yeah I had this dark phase in my life" Harper says.
"Wait, is there really a device that can make a boy fall in love with me?" Bree says "Not exactly but I could do something similar" Harper says "so where is it?" Bree asks "Do you really think it's necessary?" Skylar says "Yes Skylar I'm needy!" Bree says frustrated.
......................................................................
Later Harper picks up a box.
"Here it is" Harper says "what's all this?" Grace asks "Some things from my old Lab" Harper says.
"you created all this stuff?" Skylar says "Yes, before I met them I lived with my sisters and to avoid them I invented a new project every day just to say that I was busy and needed to spend the whole day at the Lab" Harper says.
"Uh, what does this one do?" Grace picks up a box with a robotic aesthetic "store pens, after all, this is a pencil case" Harper takes the pencil case.
"Which one of these pieces of junk is the device you mentioned!?" Bree says impatiently, looks at the box, Harper gasps "Hey, they can hear you!" Harper says offended, Bree rolls her eyes.
Harper picks up a device similar in shape to a camera "Oh, here he is!" Harper smiles "Is that it?" Skylar asks "it looks like a camera to me" Grace says.
"it's a kind of sound device" Harper says "your nerdy stuff makes me confused" Grace says picking up the pencil case again.
"What does that do exactly?" Bree ask "He basically converts commands into a sound wave, a sound wave that is amplified at a frequency that only men can hear. I personally named him "The siren's song"" Harper says proudly.
"Woah really?" Bree says "yup, everything you say will be converted in such a way that whoever hears it will be slightly influenced to do what was said, I never got to use it but it took me a long time studying sound frequencies to build him" Harper says.
"why didn't you ever use it?" Grace says "Because when I finished it I looked at him and thought, screw it, who needs a guy when I can build this!" Harper says convinced, Bree looks at her frustrated.
"How come she has a boyfriend and I don't!?" Bree says "Because luckily some crazy rich guy created one for me" Harper smirk.
"I don't know if this is a good idea" Skylar says, Bree looks at the device "I mean messing with someone's head and making them do things against their will, it's kind of wrong" Skylar says.
"Yes, well, see this isn't to make someone fall in love with you it's just to help you get someone's attention or something simple like that okay, it's just a little push" Harper says "got It" Bree says.
"you have to think very carefully beforehand because the consequences can be serious" Harper says "Relax" Bree tries to take the device and Harper takes it away from her thoughtfully.
"Promise you'll be responsible with this?" Harper asks "yeah! I'll only use it if necessary, okay?" Bree says and pick up the device.
......................................................................
The next day everyone is getting ready for the party Kaz comes down the stairs, he is dressed in Superman's costume under regular clothes and glasses.
Oliver and Skylar decide soon after Oliver is dressed as a football player and Skylar is a cheerleader.
"Wow I like the costume!" Kaz says "I know, I'm finally picking up a cheerleader" Oliver says excitedly.
"Oliver!" Skylar says turning red "I'm sorry I got into character" Oliver says, Skylar smiles "It's okay, you look very handsome as a football player" Skylar kiss his cheek.
Harper and Chase exit the HyperLift, Harper is dressed as Lara Croft and Chase is dressed as Indiana Jones.
"Woah! You guys did a great job with your costumes!" Skylar says "I know" Chase says convinced, fixing his hat.
"But who are you?" Skylar asks, Chase's smile disappears "If you were anyone else saying this I would say "what planet do you live on?" But you're literally from another planet so I'll let it slide" Harper says.
"I'm Indiana Jones and she's Lara Croft, they're both adventurers and tomb hunters of a film and a video game..." Chase says.
"Indiana and Lara are not a canonical couple" Kaz says "Oh yeah, and canonically Superman has muscles" Harper says, Kaz glares at her "they are costumes keep It up!" Harper says.
Chase puts his arm around Harper, they hear a meow, everyone looks back and Newton comes entering the room wearing an Elite Force mini uniform.
"Hey, I didn't know we had a new member on the team" Kaz chuckles "Yes we do, do you like it?" Harper says picking up the cat.
"Grace sewed him a little uniform" Harper says "Aww he looks so cute" Skylar says petting him "Yeah a little hero, right baby" Harper says to Newton kissing his head, he purrs.
"give him a kiss Chase" Harper says bringing him closer to Chase "No, stop" Chase says holding back a smile, Harper rolls her eyes.
"Dr Jones, loves you he's just annoying to admit it" Harper says to Newton quietly, Chase rolls his eyes and hugs Harper and Newton, kissing her cheek.
Bree walks in dressed as a mermaid "Hey guys!" Bree says "a mermaid? Really!?" Harper says says as Chase stops hugging her.
"Yeah, and it has nothing to do with the "siren song" it's just that it was the only costume I found by chance" Bree explains.
"What's the siren song?" Kaz asks "It's nothing important" Harper says "Anyway, I'll go to the party, and I'll meet you there later" Bree says leaving.
......................................................................
Bree arrives at the party, the entire central park is decorated from Halloween to food stalls and a haunted house and games.
"Bree!!" Grace appears dressed as a peasant princess and runs up to Bree excitedly.
"Hey! You look beautiful" Bree says "you too!" Grace says "So where's Drew?" Bree asks, Grace sighs.
"I don't know, he said he was going to meet me here but so far nothing!" Grace says upset "Relax I bet he'll be here soon" Bree says.
"I hope so, Oh What if he forgot?" Grace says "I'm sure he didn't and he's on his way, just relax okay" Bree says "okay Fine" Grace says take a deep breath "Come on let's get something to drink" Bree says.
Bree and Grace go to a drinks stand, Bree sees a guy not far away, Grace notices the way Bree is looking at the guy.
"go talk to him" Grace says, Bree thinks "he's cute" Grace says "okay" Bree takes a deep breath.
Bree approaches the guy he wears a security guard uniform "Hey" Bree says "What's up" the guy says.
"Cool party right" Bree says slightly nervously "Yeah" the boy says "Cool costume do you like security guards?" Bree chuckles charmingly.
"yes, I like it so much it's my job" the guy says, Bree is surprised "Ooh so you really are..." "Yup!" The guy says.
"Sorry about that one, I didn't expect it" Bree says "it's okay, you'd be surprised how often this error happens" the guy says "it happens a lot, right" Bree says laughing "no" the guy says, Bree makes an embarrassed face.
"See? You were surprised" the guy laughs, Bree smiles "good joke" Bree puts her hair behind her ear "I'm Bree" Bree says "Phill" the guy says.
"So you usually work a lot at parties like this?" Bree asks, Phill looks around "Look Bree don't get it wrong but I'm kind of busy at the moment" Phill says Wanting to end the conversation.
Bree looks around and sees that there isn't much commotion in the place "Are you sure everything seems so calm" Bree says, Phill scratches the back of his head.
"all this calmness is... very suspicious so..." Phill says, Bree makes an upset face, she takes the device and types something on the screen.
"I understand but before I leave can I take a photo in front of this poster?" Bree ask "Sure" Phill says, Bree then pretends to use the device to take a photo but when she presses the button it activates the beep, at the same time Phill looked at her interested.
"Okay bye Phill" Bree smiles "Uh... Wait" Phill says, Bree turns around.
"Actually I just got a text saying I have a break if you want...I can buy you a drink" Phill says, Bree looks at the cup in her hand "Or reimburse you for this one" Phil chuclkes "I would love it" Bree smiles, she and Phill go to a table talking.
......................................................................
Bree and Phill spend some time talking and he seems interested, until a girl approaches.
"Phil?" She says, Bree looks at her "Anne! Anne Smith!?" Phill says standing up "yes! Oh my god!" Anne says, Phill hugs her tight.
"how long!?" Phill says, Bree watches the two embarrassedly "you look amazing!" Phill says "me? Look at you!" Anne says, Bree is uncomfortable with both of them and clears her throat.
Phill looks at her "oh sorry, Anne this is my friend Bree, Bree This is Anne" Phill says "Hey" Bree says with a forced smile "hi" Anne says.
"Tell me how you've been?" Phill asks, Bree rolls her eyes and gets up, Phill and Anne talk.
"uh... I go there and..."Bree tries to justify herself but none of them pay attention "It doesn't matter" Bree sighs.
She moves away a little and looks at the siren song device in her bag "Well...I'd say now would be a necessary situation" Bree thinks, she takes the device.
She adjusts it to one setting and then presses the button again.
Phill looks at her at the same moment "Bree wait!" Phill says, Anne frowns "I'm sorry Anne but..." Phill looks at Bree, she makes a surprised face.
"My heart belongs to someone else" Phill says "what?" Anne says "wow this thing works" Bree looks at the device.
"I'm sorry Anne, but I need to go" Phil says, moving away from Anne, who gasps indignantly "Come on Bree I want you to tell me everything about yourself!" Phill says "Oh okay" Bree says in surprise as Phill takes her hand.
"What do you do, what do you work with?" Phil says "Uh, I'm a bionic hero so..." Bree says "Of course, you're a beautiful, powerful hero with beautiful hair and beautiful eyes" Phil messes with her hair, Bree frowns.
"Uh thank you" Bree says confused "I love you" Phill says "what!?" Bree asks scared "I'm in love with you" Phill says "Woah Phill, I'm sorry but I just met you" Bree says.
"I know it's hasty but I just...something tells me I should be with you" Phill says "Oh no" Bree's eyes widen "Look Phill, I know you must be confused but...""no I'm not, I love you!" Phill says.
"No, you don't and I'm going to prove it, I just need.."Bree takes the device, tries to type something but can't, and taps the device to see if it works again.
"Let's go! I know piece of junk, work!" Bree says impatiently "Is everything ok?" Phill says, approaching and Bree walks away "yes, just one more adjustment and....done!" Bree presses the button.
Phill frowns and Bree looks at him expectantly "so...you still love me?" Bree aks "yes!" Phill smiles, Bree rolls her eyes.
"I love you so much I can tell the world.." Phill says "please don't " Bree says "I love Bree Davenport!" Phill says it loud, Bree hides her face.
"No! Some random guy says "I love Bree Davenport!" The guy says "what!?" Bree says scared looking at the device.
"No, I love her" another guy says "No!" Bree says scared.
They start coming towards her arguing and more guys show up saying they love her.
"no, no, no! This isn't happening!" Bree says scared she walks away from them scared trying to restart the device, Grace appears.
"Bree what's going on!?" Grace asks "Everyone at the party loves me!" Bree says desperately "Wow good! You Go Girl" Grace says proudly.
"No! It's not a good thing, look!" Bree says walking away, Grace looks at the guys all arguing and half hypnotized.
"Why do they look like a really weird bunch of zombies?" Grace says "because I think I messed with their brains!" Bree says.
"Bree, why did you do? What's going on!?" Grace says "A big problem!" Bree pulls Grace and they both run away from the guys "Bree my princess please come back!" Phill says.
......................................................................
Grace and Bree go to a diner but all the kids there are also under the influence of the device, they go into the warehouse and lock the door.
"Okay now this Halloween has become a real nightmare" Bree says.
"Is all this because of the siren song device?" Grace asks "Yeah! I tried using it on a boy and I think the device got stuck" Bree looks at the device.
Grace looks through the door window "they are outside and there are several of them, we are surrounded, what are we going to do?" Grace ask.
"I don't know, the more I mess whit the device the worse the effect is" Bree says.
"Okay, I'll talk to Harper, she'll know what to do" Bree takes out her cell phone and calls Harper, Grace opens the door and one of the guys tries to get in.
"Grace!" Bree pushes her and closes the door "I still don't understand why you insisted on this" Grace says "I'm not going to talk about it with you!" Bree says, Grace rolls her eyes.
......................................................................
On the penthouse, Skylar, Oliver, Kaz, Chase and Harper are in Mission Command.
"Ugh! Come on, We're gonna miss the party!" Kaz rolls his eyes "Sorry guys, Mr Davenport gave us these projects to archive" Harper says.
"can't you do that later?" Skylar asks "No, because someone forgot to do that right when she got the drive" Chase discreetly points to Harper, She purses her lips.
"if I said it was because you distracted me, would you be less upset?" Harper says, Chase glares at her with a slight smile "Only because these projects are not of extreme importance and cuz that distraction was worth it" Chase smirk.
"Guys, it's eight o'clock and the party will end at ten!" Oliver says playing with the football in his costume.
"Uh actually Oliver the party we want to go to starts at ten o'clock" Kaz says "yes, the markets and stalls open earlier but the party starts at ten" Skylar says.
"What? It starts at ten but what kind of party starts at ten?" Oliver says indignantly "Uh the cool ones that cool football players go to" Harper says pointing at Oliver's outfit.
"Does that mean we'll be there at midnight?" Oliver says scared "Honey No, just, no " Skylar puts her hand on his shoulder.
Harper gets the call from Bree "Hey Bree what's up?" Harper asks "So...funny story" Bree chuckles, Harper rolls her eyes and walks away from the others.
"You used the device didn't you?" Harper aks "yup" Bree says "and everything went wrong, didn't it?" Harper says "I really wanted to say no" Bree says.
"And I told you so, didn't I?" Harper smiles "Yes you did" Bree says frustrated, Harper sighs.
"I think the device is stuck" Bree says "it's possible since it's an old device and has been rusting in a box for years" Harper says.
"what do we do?" Grace asks "Have you tried restarting the device?" Harper says "No" Bree says.
"just turn the top button four times until you hear it click" Harper says "Okay" Bree gives Grace the cell phone and takes the device, she turns the device button.
"okay one, two, three....four" on the fourth time the button breaks in Bree's hand, she looks at Grace scared "we hear the click what's next?" Grace says, Bree looks at her worriedly.
......................................................................
Harper hangs up the phone and pulls Skylar away.
"what's wrong?" Skylar asks "we need to go now Bree is in trouble" Harper says "Shouldn't we go too?" Kaz says "Oh no no you guys stay here!" Harper says.
"why? Why can't we help?" Oliver asks "because it's far away and...you guys are going to help Chase" Harper says.
"you can go I don't need help" Chase says "you do!" Harpe says firmly "I... " Chase tries to say something but Harper raises her eyebrows "ok I do" Chase says, Harper smiles and pulls Skylar to the HyperLift.
......................................................................
Skylar and Harper arrive at the park and the restaurant where Bree and Grace is full of guys looking for Bree.
Bree and Grace are still in the warehouse Harper geo leap into the warehouse with Skylar.
"Oh great" Bree says relieved "Harper, I'm sorry, I ended up meeting a guy and we hit it off but then another...""Shh" Harper interrupts.
She puts her arm around Bree "It doesn't matter anymore..." Harper says calmly "No!?" Bree ask "What matters is that you're okay my cutie Bree" Harper caresses Bree's cheek "What?" Bree asks scared.
She thinks that Harper is also under the influence of the siren song "Harper what are you doing?" Bree looks at Harper scared.
"Aww, you're so cute when you're scared" Harper grabs Bree's chin and brings her a little closer "But also very stupid!" Harper changes her tone to an enraged one abruptly letting go of Bree's chin.
Bree gives a slight sigh of relief "I thought the device had affected you too" Bree says "Of course not! It only works on men..." Harper says.
"so why did you do that!?" Bree aks "You would understand if you had seen your face" Harper laughs, Bree glares at her.
"Interesting, you weren't going to push me away, were you?" Harper whit a smirk and she winks at Bree as she takes the device from her hands, Bree rolls her eyes.
"Can you fix this or not?" Bree ask "Okay, apparently he has entered and is emitting the signal wildly with a greater range every second..." Harper says opening the device.
"Wait, are you saying that the signal is being transmitted from here to the entire outskirts of the city?" Skylar says.
"Yes, that's it, basically all the guys in the city are on a hypnotic trance that induces them to have feelings for Bree" Harper pulls a wire from the device.
"Drew is in town" Grace realizes "I'm sorry dear but there's a 90% chance that he's in love with Bree at the moment....and now I'm asking you, ARE YOU HAPPY!?" Harper tells Bree.
"Okay, I understand, I acted on impulse and ended up ruining everything, sorry" Bree says Skylar comforts Bree.
"Okay i block the signal now I just need to fix the transmitter to create a combination that cancels the last one" Harper says.
One of the boys starts pushing the door "Quick!" Grace says "I'm trying but the device was improvised so it's a mess..." Harper says impatiently "Mess is what's going on outside!" Bree says in despair.
"can you fix it?" Skylar ask.
"Uhg! I don't know, but can someone hand me a screwdriver!?" Harper says impatiently at this same moment one of the boys outside breaks the window next to her, handing her a screwdriver, Harper gives a slight shout "thanks dude!" Harper takes the screwdriver confused.
"Can I say this is by far the scariest Halloween I've ever had?" Grace says "yes because I completely agree" Bree says, they're breaking the window.
"Why are they acting like zombies?" Skylar says "the sound wave was on too long....If exposed too much to the sound wave like that, it causes the brain to temporarily ignore everything else, just obeying the signal" Harper says, using her energy manipulation to try to turn the device back on and with the screwdriver in her mouth.
"What does that mean?" Grace says "that if they were exposed to the sound wave for a little longer their brains would melt" Harper says with the screwdriver in her mouth that she moves from side to side while she talks.
"Let's go, there's a staircase that goes upstairs" Skylar says, they climb the stairs and go to the second floor of the restaurant.
"Harper hurry up!" Grace says "I'm trying!" Harper says.
They go to a balcony and Skylar closes the door "Oh my God!" Bree says scared seeing the amount of hypnotized boys.
"Uh... Harper" Bree says scared "Almost there....and I... I got it!" Harper says at the same moment someone pushes the door and everyone screams in fright and Harper knocks the device off the balcony "Or not" Harper says seeing the device in pieces on the floor.
"NO!" Bree screams "I know, it took me months to develop this" Harper says "and it took seconds for Bree to ruin it" Grace says Bree glares at them both.
"Focus guys! What are we going to do!?" Skylar says "okay we need to go back to the tower because only there will I be able to reassemble the device" Harper says.
"Okay, but how are we going to get through the zombie boyfriends apocalypse right there?" Bree says "Their focus is on you so I'll geoleap you out of here" Harper says.
"Me and Grace took the device and met you at the tower" Skylar says "okay!" Harper and Bree say Harper geoleap them both to the tower
Harper and Bree appear in the penthouse living room.
"Ah finally home" Bree throws herself on the couch "it's not over yet most beloved girl in the world" Harper says, Bree sighs.
Skylar super speeds Grace up to the tower "Did you guys get every piece of the device?" Harper asks.
"yes even that piece that looks like a plastic spoon" Grace shows a plastic spoon "this is a plastic spoon" Harper says "oh damn" Grace says she throws the spoon.
Kaz leaves the HyperLift "Okay we need to fix this quickly, Skylar go downstairs and make sure no one enters the building" Harper says
"Okay Grace help me" Skylar says and Grace follows her, Harper passes by Kaz who looks at Bree thoughtfully.
"I'm going to show this to Chase he'll help me" Harper says leaving via HyperLift
......................................................................
"Bree?" Kaz says, Bree looks at him slightly scared he might be under the effect of the device.
"hi..." Bree says "what happened?" Kaz says, Bree analyzes his tone and cuz he seems interested she concludes that he is in the first stage of the siren song effect.
"A lot" Bree says "Tell me" Kaz says and sits on the couch "Well...I made a huge mess... And all for something so silly" Bree says, Kaz nods listening.
Bree looks at him and takes a deep breath "okay I think I really need to get this out...and maybe you won't even remember it later so..." Bree says, Kaz frowns.
"I've always dreamed of meeting the perfect guy, and over time that search has resulted in disappointment after disappointment and now I see Harper and Chase, Oliver and Skylar... and I started to feel lonely..." Bree says, Kaz looks at her with pity.
"you know, I think the problem is me, I always choose the wrong guys, I care about superficial things and in the end I let myself get carried away by emotion and I get disappointed... I guess this has become a vicious cycle that prevents me from having what I want" Bree says.
"And what do you want?" Kaz asks "just someone who understands me and makes me laugh and, some company, a really nice guy who really cares about me..." Bree says she sighs and puts her hands on her face.
"Bree, that's crazy, you don't need someone to feel better, you're amazing on your own..." Kaz says, Bree looks at him "what?" Bree says.
"I understand that you feel alone but you don't need to, you are a strong and intelligent girl who doesn't need anyone to be wonderful, and anyone who doesn't see that is an idiot..." Kaz says, Bree smiles slightly.
"Maybe all those guys who let you down realized they didn't deserve you, and personally I really think they didn't deserve it, you deserve someone who values every second with you..." Kaz sighs and looks into her eyes.
"wow" Bree tucks her hair behind her ear "Bree, I...want you to know that I will always be here for whatever you need..."Kaz smiles.
"Aw Kaz, that's the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me...too bad you're only saying that because of that stupid device" Bree says, Kaz frowns.
"You would never say that if you were in control" Bree chuckles, Kaz takes a deep breath
"Bree, I care about you... Like...a Lot!" Kaz says, Bree smile fades "and every second with you is the best thing of my day" Kaz smirks, Bree makes a confused and slightly upset face.
"It would be cool if it were true...I guess" Bree smiles, Kaz nods whit a smile Bree leaves the room and Kaz watches her go thoughtfully.
......................................................................
Chase is in Mission command,Harpe enters with the device.
"Chase! I need your help" Harper says eagerly placing the device on the table "We need to fix this and fast!" Harper says.
"What is that?" Chase asks "Well at the moment a lot of rubbish, as you can see" Harper says.
"what was that?" Chase aks "was a device that converted sound waves into frequencies that only guys hear that's the short version" Harper quickly says.
"Why did you create this!?" Chase ask analyzing the device "It was a long time ago, that doesn't matter we need to rebuild this!" Harper says.
"okay I was just curious..." Chase says working on the device, he thinks "you never used that thing on me did you?" Chase asks, Harper frowns.
"of course not, that was before you" Harper says "Why?" Chase asks, Harper sighs "I was terrible at flirting and I thought something like that would help me that's all but I gave up looking for someone after that...I had more important things to worry about like you know survive" Harper says.
"Oh, Okay I don't judge you...if I had never met you I would probably build an android girlfriend or something" Chase chuckles "Yes, I can imagine you doing that" Harper laughs, Chase smiles.
"Okay It's ready!" Chase says looking at the device "okay thanks for the help" Harper takes it.
"now just type the command and all the mess that Bree created will be canceled" Harper says going to HyperLift Chase follows her.
......................................................................
They go to the terrace and activate the device, at the same moment all the boys stop and look around confused without knowing why they are there, Bree walks in.
"Did you guys make it?" Bree smiles "Yes!" Harper says "Oh good" Bree hugs Harper and Chase.
"yup, all those guys might well despise you now" Chase smiles sarcastically, Bree glares at him.
"Look Bree, if I yelled at you before that was all my fault I should have destroyed that device years ago" Harper says.
"It wasn't my fault, I was desperate and being selfish, My happiness doesn't depend on whether I have a boyfriend or not, I was being desperate and selfish,I don't want someone who likes me because of a device, I want something real, like you guys have" Bree says.
Harper and Chase smile at each other "I'm proud of you Bree" Chase says, Bree smiles "come on Bestie we have a party to go to" Harper hugs Bree and they leave.
......................................................................
Arriving at the party Grace is walking with Oliver and Skylar when Drew approaches.
"Drew!?" Grace says confused especially seeing that Drew isn't wearing a costume "hi sweetie" Drew says and kisses Grace's cheek.
"What happened to you? I thought you forgot me" Grace says "no I didn't forget, I was at work" Drew says.
"work? On Halloween!?" Grace says "it's not something common but I decided to go today because...""Wait!" Grace interrupts him.
Skylar and Oliver look at each other awkwardly "Was it because you wanted to!?" Grace says irritated "sweetie, do you know how much they pay me for this?" Drew says, Grace gasps.
"and why aren't you dressed up?" Grace ask "I...I forgot" Drew says obviously lying, Grace shakes her head and leaves upset.
Drew sighs and looks at Skylar and Oliver "I messed up with her, didn't I?' Drew ask "I wouldn't say that...I think the term "messed up" isn't enough here..." Oliver says.
"Drew, why aren't you wearing the costume?" Skylar asks "Honestly, don't get me wrong but, it's kind of humiliating and I have an image to preserve" Drew says.
"the image of a terrible boyfriend? Because if it is, you're killing it!" Oliver says "Drew, you're in a relationship, sometimes it requires sacrifices and conversation, do you have any idea how much this means to her?" Skylar says.
"Yeah man, maybe it's humiliating but for her it's not" Oliver says, Drew thinks "if you really like her it's worth doing something to make her happy, I know she would do that for you" Skylar says.
"so Should I go after her?" Drew says "yes!!" Skylar says "I don't know what you're doing here yet" Oliver says, Drew leaves.
......................................................................
Later everyone is at the party, Grace sits at a table with Skylar and Harper.
"Is everything okay between you and Drew?" Skylar ask "Yes, we talked and I convinced him to wear the costume and he said he's sorry..."Grace says.
"are you sure everything's okay?" Harper says "Yeah, I think these disagreements happen and it's normal, right?" Grace says slightly worried, Skylar and Harper look at each other.
"yes, you guys get over it" Skylar says Harper agrees.
Bree approaches with a plastic Cup and at the same time Kaz passes by her, she almost drops the drink "Oh sorry" Kaz says "it's okay Kaz" Bree says she gives a light laugh.
"cool I would never forgive myself if I hurt a plastic cup like that" Kaz chuckles, Bree laughs, Kaz smiles and keeps walking, Bree sits at the table still laughing, the girls frown.
Bree realizes "what? that was funny" Bree says "yeah but not that much" Harper says, Bree clears her throat and takes a drink.
"Has it just been me or Kaz acting weird?" Skylar says "I know, it must have been from the conversation we had when he was under the control of the siren song" Bree says.
"Wait, what?" Harper asks "yeah I talked to him and he said a lot of things..." Bree says "no, I meant that Kaz never been affected by the device" Harper says.
"what?" Bree aks "When you called me I told Kaz, Chase and Oliver to stay in Mission Command which is sound proof so they wouldn't be affected" Harper says, Bree thinks and looks at Kaz on the other side of the party with the boys.
"what did he tell you?" Grace asks "uh... no nothing, that couldn't have been it" Bree says "Hey! What we're doing here is a party, let's go!" Grace says, getting up and calling everyone to dance
Bree is last, she looks at Kaz thoughtfully, she smiles and gets up joining the others on the dance floor.
