# Episode 9| Two is good, Three is a crowd
Harper and Melody went out shopping, a mother and daughter day for the two of them to make up for lost time.
They are in the hallway in front of the penthouse door "I had a lot of fun today Melody" Harper says "Harper, you can call me mom" Melody says.
"I'm sorry I just... I can't" Harper says, Melody runs her hand through her hair "take your time" Melody smiles delicately.
"By the way, Chase keeps talking about how cool it would be to go out to dinner with you and stuff, so I thought if you want to stay for dinner?" Harper says "oh sure, I'd love to!" Melody smiles.
Harper opens the door and finds the room full, Bree, Skylar and Grace were getting their nails done on the couch, while Kaz, Oliver, Finn and Leo were playing video games sitting on the floor, Chase, AJ and Douglas were at the table in front of the kitchen looking at books and checking the computer and Adam is whit them.
"Yeah, I think we'll be crowded today" Harper smiles sarcastically at Melody, suddenly Perry enters pushing Melody violently "get out of the way, blondie!" Perry says Melody drops the bags.
Harper rolls her eyes and closes the door "When did this place get so full of people!?' Harper says "I know it's disgusting too many freaks" Perry says.
"why are you here then?" Melody ask "To make sure you don't lay a skinny finger on my man" Perry says, Douglas rolls his eyes.
"for the thousandth time Perry I'm not your man!" Douglas says "And I don't want to touch any of my fingers that aren't that skinny on your man" Melody says looking at her fingers.
"I think your fingers are perfect" Douglas says with a smile he tried to be nice and compliment but failed miserably, Melody frowns.
"Yeah, I think you're a little weird" Melody says "And I completely agree" Douglas says and leaves awkwardly, Melody gives a slight smile.
"What are you smiling for, Dr. Worm?" Perry says, Melody's smile disappears "Nothing, I'm just happy to see that my children are having fun and in good company...or at least most of them are good" Melody says referring to Perry.
"I know, Dooley isn't what I call good company" Perry says "I think she was referring to you" Leo says.
......................................................................
Harper approaches Chase, Adam and AJ "hi sweetheart" Harper says "hello darling" Chase says pulling her for a kiss.
AJ looks at them with disgust, Adam approaches when he sees the boy's face"Uhg Mom, Dad stop! It's gross" AJ says, Chase breaks the kiss and glares at AJ.
"Don't call us that it's weird" Chase says "and it's not gross you're just too young to understand" Harper says.
"Understand what? Love? Please, I'm much more advanced than that, Love is just a physiological response, not a real feeling" AJ says "wow Good news Chase, we found someone more annoying than you" Adam says, Chase rolls his eyes.
AJ looks at Adam "I'm sorry, I don't think we were properly introduced, I'm AJ" AJ holds out his hand "I'm Adam, so are you really a little boy or are you just a very small man like Chase ?" Adam ask.
AJ looks at Harper and Chase "I'm 11" AJ says "Yeah, 11 which means he's ten years older than Your mental age" Chase says, Adam glares at Chase.
"Okay, that's enough!" Harper says snapping her fingers between them "any sign of Sebastian?" Harper asks "Douglas and I have been working on this all morning and we haven't found anything" Chase says.
"Who is this Sebastian?" AJ aks "a guy who broke Chase's heart years ago and tried to break his head yesterday" Adam says
"he's a bad guy, and a very dangerous one that we need to stop" Harper says "was he the one who did that to your arm?" AJ asks pointing to Harper's still bandaged arm.
"Yes, My bionics were not prepared to deal with the type of energy he absorbed from Arcturion" Harper says.
"I think you need more resistant uniforms, adapted to deal with that energy" AJ says, Chase looks at him "That's actually a great idea!" Chase says.
"Oh I can't wait to get a new uniform, mine is really tight in very delicate areas" Adam says, Harper, Chase and AJ frown "yeah let's take care of it man" Harper pats him on the shoulder.
......................................................................
Mr Davenport and Douglas go downstairs "Okay Adam now the capsule in the boys' dorm is yours, and Leo I already ordered a bed for you to be put in there, so now just take your things upstairs" Mr Davenport says.
"Are you sure it's okay for me and Adam to stay here big D?" Leo says "yes, I can handle things at the new academy with Daniel, your mission is more important at the moment" Mr Davenport says.
"New roommates will be cool, especially since without Chase we can play video games all night!" Kaz says "Oh cool" Adam says.
"what do you mean, I let you guys play video games...until a reasonable time" Chase says "The fun is just playing until an unreasonable time" Oliver says, Chase rolls his eyes.
Mr Davenport sees Melody and he approaches "You must be Dr Melody Stone, Harper's mother, right?" Mr Davenport says "yes, and you're Donald Davenport, I've heard a lot about you" Melody says.
"of course you have" Mr Davenport says smugly "don't do that Melody, don't soften his ego" Douglas says, Mr Davenport glares at him.
"Dr Stone" Chase calls Melody "excuse me" Melody says and goes to Chase.
Mr Davenport pulls Douglas further into the corner "Is this the woman you haven't stopped talking about?" Mr Davenport says "Uh..." Douglas is embarrassed.
"I read some of her articles, she is remarkable, and let Tasha not hear, but between us she is beautiful" Mr Davenport pokes Douglas, mocking him.
"Yeah yeah, okay Donny that's enough!" Douglas says "I know you Douglas, you like her" Mr Davenport says.
"It doesn't matter, she's Harper's mother" Douglas says "you've been acting like Harper's father for years, that would be perfect" Mr Davenport says.
"She is Krane's ex-wife, and is my son's mother-in-law" Douglas says "Yes it's messy, but she could be good for you, you need someone" Mr Davenport says.
"I don't need anyone! I'm a lone wolf, and I'm too complicated and the woman has been through a lot, all she wants is to reconnect with her daughter and nothing else..." Douglas gets lost in the discussion when he looks at Melody across the room talking to Chase, he sighs.
"maybe you're right" Mr Davenport says "so why can't I stop thinking about her!?" Douglas says frustrated, Mr Davenport smiles.
"that's called love my brother" Mr Davenport puts his hand on his shoulder "uhg! What happened to me Donny, I was the bad guy, with a heart of stone who created soldiers and robots for destruction, I wasn't made to fall in love..." Douglas says in disbelief.
"it's the moment of redemption" Mr Davenport says "What should I do?" Douglas says.
"first of all, I think you should tell Harper, you need to know how she feels about this" Mr Davenport "That's exactly...what I don't feel like doing!" Douglas says "Douglas!" Mr Davenport says.
"okay Fine...I'll think about it" Douglas says "if you need advice I'm here" Mr Davenport says "Stop playing expert, just because you're married doesn't mean anything..." Douglas says.
"why?" Mr Davenport says "well you're rich... There's no need to say more" Douglas says, Mr Davenport glares at him.
......................................................................
That night everyone got settled in their rooms, Harper and Chase were finishing taking things out of their moving boxes and putting them on the new furniture, Newton walks around the room confused by the movement.
"It was cool having your mom for dinner today" Chase says "yeah, it was, she's..." "Amazing!" Chase interrupts excitedly, Harper frowns "sorry...Go on!" Chase says.
"she's cool, I think we are finally getting along" Harper says "I'm happy for you guys" Chase says, Harper smiles.
"It was amazing talking to her I think she likes me!" Chase smiles "she does" Harper says.
"did she say something?" Chase says "why do you care so much about this?" Harper chuckles "well, she's my mother-in-law and one of the top physicists in the country, I want her approval...for many reasons!" Chase says.
"it's just that sometimes it seems like you like my mom more than I do" Harper says "Not true" Chase says "okay then" Harper grabs a box.
"I can't believe I finally convinced Mr Davenport to let us have this room" Chase says putting some action figures on one shelf, Harper is putting books on another.
"This room was already ours with or without his permission" Harper says "I know but at least now I feel more honest about it" Chase says, Harper frowns.
"you know, I don't like lying it makes me feel dirty" Chase says putting away a box, Harper smiles "oh it wasn't because of the lie that you felt "dirty"" Harper laughs biting her lip.
"And I'm not the one with the dirty mind" Chase says, Harper smiles.
Chase adjusts a nightstand next to the sofa bed on the left side of the room, while Harper takes an action figure from the shelf on the right side of the room and watches it.
"Besides, I can finally decorate the room with my stuff, and the way I want without worrying about Adam or Kaz breaking it" Chase says, at the same time Harper drops the action figure on the floor, and it breaks.
Harper's eyes widen, Chase didn't see that "uh... yes... That's not... That's not going to happen here" Harper says nervously pushing the pieces of the action figure under the shelf with her foot.
She goes to her capsule, the two capsules are in the place where the bed used to be, she looks around.
"I think this place looks really cool" Harper says "I know, and we finally have our capsules together, so we don't have to worry about rationing time together and time in the capsule anymore" Chase says as he enters his capsule.
Harper is leaning on her capsule she watches Chase "yes, we don't have to worry about anything anymore" Harper says slightly frustrated as if she had thought of something but she didn't want to say it directly.
She closes her eyes, Chase notices her tone, she looks at her with her eyes closed in her capsule.
"But I guess it's okay for us to share the same capsule" Chase says shyly, Harper smiles "I thought you would never ask" Harper says leaving her capsule and going to Chase's.
Chase smiles and hugs her, giving her a soft kiss, Harper hugs his waist, resting her head on his chest, Chase rests his head on hers while hugging her.
"Now feels good" Harper smile "it can get better" Chase says silently, he starts kissing her head and face several times, Harper laughs gently.
......................................................................
Meanwhile in the boys' room, Leo enters and ends up stepping on a pizza box, he makes a disgusted face.
"Ew what? When did you guys order pizza?" Leo says taking off the sock full of sauce "It was just now" Kaz chuckles.
"Yeah! Kaz knows the pizza guy" Adam says "and the Chinese food guy" Oliver says "And the Thai food guy who happens to be the same pizza guy" Kaz says.
"But we had a whole chicken for dinner and you guys are still hungry?" Leo says "yes!" They say.
"What's wrong with you guys look at this place!" Leo says looking at the mess all over the room.
"and what's that smell?" Leo says "it could be a lot of things man...Like a few seconds ago it was just the smell of the sauce, but so many things have happened since then that I can't even say anymore" Oliver says.
"How did you guys make such a big mess, this place was perfect in the afternoon" Leo says "You'll be surprised to know that messing things up is a thousand times easier than tidying them up" Kaz laughs.
"You guys are disgusting!" Leo says "Come on Leo, it's not that bad" Adam says "believe me Kaz has had worse rooms" Oliver says "it's true" Kaz says.
"This is ridiculous I can't stay here" Leo says with disgust "Leo, you're exaggerating" Adam says "Said the guy using a spoon as a back scratcher!" Leo says.
Adam looks at the spoon in his hand "I'm glad he didn't see you use the fork as a comb" Kaz laughs, Leo looks at Adam "I was testing to see if Little Mermaid was right" Adam says.
"It's just a little mess Leo, nothing that Oliver can't fix tomorrow" Kaz says "because I was the idea of the Piazza night and games!?" Oliver says "And don't you think that wasn't enough effort on my part?" Kaz says.
"No,that's it, I'm not staying here!" Leo says leaving the room.
......................................................................
Leo knocks on Chase and Harper's door, Chase opens the door, Leo is holding a blanket and a pillow.
"Leo?" Chase says with a tired look and messy hair, even though sleep in a capsule doesn't mess up his hair.
"I can't stand those three so I'm going to stay here" Leo says entering the room and putting the pillow and blanket on the sofa bed in the room.
Harper looks at Chase confused and Chase widens his eyes even more confused "What do you mean, Leo?" Chase says with an awkward smile.
"Adam, and Kaz are disgusting I can't stay there, Ah Look at this place, it's so organized and fragrant, it smells like roses and strawberries, good taste girl" Leo says to Harper as he laying down on the couch.
"It's Chase's perfume" Harper says crossing her arms "it's an air freshener" Chase says "yes a perfume, that's what I said" Harper smirks, she looks at Leo.
"do you know there's a couch in the living room too?" Harper says "that couch hurts my back, and this one is perfect It's exactly my size" Leo says laying down.
Harper looks at Chase irritated "do something!" Harper says gritting her teeth "what do you want me to do!?" Chase says "I don't know" Harper says, Chase looks at Leo.
"let's just let him stay here today" Chase says "You're not serious!" Harper says angrily "Harper, come on!" Chase says, Harper sighs "okay fine" Harper says.
Chase closes the bedroom door "good night guys!" Leo says "Good night" Chase says going to his capsule "Good night Leo!" Harper says impatiently entering her capsule.
Chase frowns "aren't you going to sleep in my capsule?" Chase says "No you weirdo" Harper says irritated, Chase rolls his eyes and closes the capsule.
......................................................................
The next day Harper is in the kitchen, Chase walks in.
"Hi sweetheart" Chase says "hey!" Harper says frustrated "still upset about the Leo thing?" Chase says "No, I'm upset about the Chase letting Leo stay thing" Harper says.
"it was just one night" Chase says "was it? Because his pillow is still there along with the mini capsule for his arm" Harper says, Chase rolls his eyes.
"relax I'll figure it out" Chase says "I think it's good for you to do that, because two is good, three is a crowd!" Harper says.
"I'm sorry, I wanted to be nice, I know how hard it is to share a room with the boys, I felt bad for him" Chase says.
"I think your action is very cute, however... the situation is very different now, you share a room with your girlfriend! It's not just sharing a room anymore, Chase, it's something more intimate than that, that's why we don't go around offering our room for a stay like that...Unless he pays for the stay, then I might reconsider" Harper says, Chase laughs lightly.
"I know, I'm sorry" Chase leans in and kisses her, Douglas walks in "Hey guys" Douglas says.
"what's up Douglas" Chase says "Chase, can I have a word with Harper?" Douglas says, Harper frowns.
"What did you do?" Harper says suspiciously "nothing I just want to know your opinion about something" Douglas says.
"why can't Chase know?" Harper ask "Yeah, why can't I know?" Chase says "because it's about your mother" Douglas says to Harper.
"my mother?" Harper says "oh so I should know, me and Dr. Stone are as good as flesh" Chase brags, Douglas frowns.
"Uh...I'm not so sure" Harper says "if we aren't, we will be!" Chase says, Douglas rolls his eyes "Okay Fine!" Douglas says.
"do you have a problem with her?" Harper says "if you have..." Chase threatens, Harper rolls her eyes.
"I don't have a problem with her, and almost... The opposite of that, I guess" Douglas scratches the back of his head "I don't get it?" Harpe says.
"I've kind of...been thinking about the possibility of inviting her to um....for a date" Douglas says "Oh? Ooh!" Harper says "WHAT!?" Chase says in disbelief, Harper jumps at his scream.
"Do you have a crush on her!?" Chase says, Harper looks at Douglas "You do!?" Harper says "No, I just... I enjoy her company, that's all" Douglas says shyly.
Harper looks at him with an "Aww" face and Chase shakes his head and crosses his arms "You like her" Harper says, Douglas sighs "No, no that's not going to happen!" Chase says.
Harper looks at him "why not!?" Harper says "because...I don't know but she's too good for you! " Chase says, Harper frowns.
"What do you mean by that?" Douglas says "you know! You were the evil lord with questionable character while she is sweet and kind!" Chase says "I would say it's the perfect balance" Douglas says.
"I agree with Douglas" Harper says "why I'm protecting her, she's your mother, aren't you going to say anything?" Chase says "It might work! And yes, it's my mom, and Douglas is Douglas and I love him... It's okay with me" Harper says.
"really?" Douglas says "yeah!" Harper says "oh I don't know" Chase says "Chase!" Harper hits his arm "I'm just saying!" Chase says.
"Stop! Douglas it's okay, I'm okay with it and since she's MY Mother" Harper looks at Chase "I give you my blessing to ask her out on a date!" Harper says, Douglas smiles.
"I don't agree with that" Chase says "And I didn't agree with Leo sleeping in our room either, so we're even!" Harper says "Thanks Harper, it means a lot" Douglas says.
"and Chase letting someone sleep in your and your girlfriend's room? What's your problem!?" Douglas says, Chase glares at him, Harper laughs "I love you" Harper tells Douglas.
......................................................................
That night, Chase goes to his room and finds Harper in the hallway in her pajamas and holding some clothes.
"What are you doing here? I thought you were going to sleep?" Chase ask they stop in front of the door "I am, I just needed to go to the bathroom to change since certain someone is in our room" Harper says not very happy.
"I thought you were going to fix this" Chase says "why me? Since you were the one who made the final decision for him to stay, then it would be more than fair for you to be the one to say that he can no longer stay" Harper says, Chase sighs.
"you know, sometimes you annoy me and turn me on at the same time, you make me very confused!" Chase says frustrated, Harper smiles proudly.
"so go ahead!" Harper points to the door, Chase looks at the door "what are you waiting for?" Harper says.
"I'm finding words!" Chase says irritated "I suggest something like "get out" and "of here" then improvise" Harper says, Chase glares at her.
"Use the word "please" if you want a less rude alternative" Harper says "okay, let's get this over with" Chase opens the door.
Leo is on the sofa bed looking at his cell phone "Hey buddy" Chase says, Harper crosses his arms "oh hey guys" Leo says.
"So we were thinking, aren't you going to go back to your room by any chance?" Chase says "It's still a mess there and we get along so well, I don't even know how to thank you for letting me stay here" Leo smiles.
Chase looks at Harper "oh shit" Harper says to herself "Look Leo, I know you have problems with Adam, Kaz and Oliver and stuff but I'm sorry
but you can't stay here" Chase says.
"What?" Leo gets up "I'm sorry Leo, but we don't feel good about you being here every night" Chase says.
"I don't understand what's wrong? I thought you liked my company" Leo says, Chase and Harper look at each other "And we do, but this is our room and we need some alone time" Harper says.
"Ooh! Got it!" Leo says, Chase and Harper frown "it's okay I understand you two...You guys already do it...it's okay I'll leave you alone just let me know when you're done" Leo says starting to leave Chase stops him.
"No! No! That's not it!" Chase says "No?" Leo says "No! What's wrong with you!?" Harper says embarrassed.
"It's just weird having you here, Harper can't even change her clothes here anymore" Chase says, Leo looks at Harper.
"how can I put this in a way that you understand" Harper says.
"Oh yeah, imagine if you and Janelle had a room" Harper says "Wow, Hey take it easy, she only agreed to use the term my girlfriend a few months ago, we're not there yet" Leo says.
"I mean hypothetically, if that happened would you want one more person there?" Harper says "No, but I think Janelle would hate this idea a lot more than I would, and it would be chaos" Leo says, Chase puts his hand on his shoulder "yeah, so you got it!" Chase says frustrated.
"Oh my bad, okay then I'll leave you two and go back to my dorm" Leo says "look if you want, I'll take care of them for you" Harper says.
"How?" Leo asks "relax, I'm going to make them clean up that mess" Harper says calmly leaving, Chase lets her pass and Leo starts to pick up his things.
"Sorry again, I hadn't thought it through" Leo says "it's okay, I understand your side too" Chase says, Leo takes his pillow.
"But tell me...just out of curiosity..." Leo says, Chase tilts his head "Have you two done...that?" Leo asks discreetly "Leo!" Chase says irritated.
"Oh come on Chase" Leo says whit a smirk, Chase's irritated expression gradually disappears "Yeah, we did" Chase says proudly of himself, Leo smiles "Oh Chase Davenport, you're naughty huh!" Leo pats Chase's back, Chase blushes.
"I mean poor Harper for doing it whit you, but good for you!" Leo says, Chase glares at him.
......................................................................
Harper goes to the boys' room and opens the door abruptly.
"HEY! idiots fix this, NOW!" Harper says "Harper?" Kaz says.
"Are you guys pigs to live in a pigsty like that!?" Harper says firmly "Uh no ma'am" Oliver says scared "Then stop acting like it!" Harper says.
"Harper relax!" Adam says she uses molecularkinesis to throw his pizza away "Clean up the mess!" Harper says "Okay!" Kaz swallows.
"cleaning up the mess!" Adam says "yes ma'am!" Oliver says and they start to clean up everything.
......................................................................
The next day, Melody goes to the penthouse.
"Hello?" Melody says looking around, Douglas runs down the stairs "Melody!" Douglas says "Hi Douglas, how are you? You seem a little agitated" Melody says placing her bag on the sofa.
"I'm great, and how are you?" Douglas smiles, Melody smiles slightly confused by his agitation "I'm fine, thank you for asking" Melody says, Douglas shakes his head smiling looking at her.
"Are you sure you're okay?" Melody says "Yeah I just...uh..I wanted to ask you something" Douglas says, Melody sits on the couch "feel free to ask then" Melody says, Douglas takes a deep breath.
"Do you want a glass of water or something?" Douglas says, Melody laughs "No, I'm fine" Melody continues laughing delicately.
"Yeah, just so you know, that's not what I wanted to ask" Douglas says "so what is it?" Melody says
"Well...uhg normally I'm good at this...I'm rusty" Douglas says to himself, Melody frowns.
"We had good times together, right?" Douglas approaches "Yes, I really didn't expect it" Melody says.
"what do you mean?" Douglas says "oh it's just, I didn't expect to make a friend like that, a good friend after so long, I'm not good with...people" Melody says, Douglas can't help but sigh when he hears the word "friend" he sits on the couch.
"I also didn't expect to meet a woman like you" Douglas says, Melody tucks her hair behind her ear "Melody, I want to know if you have plans for tomorrow night?" Douglas says.
"why? Are you guys going to do something tomorrow?" Melody says "No, I was wondering are you free for dinner with me tomorrow?" Douglas says, Melody takes a deep breath.
"A date?" Melody asks "Yes, a date!" Douglas smiles "Oh Douglas, I appreciate your invitation but..." Melody says.
"what's the matter? It's just dinner, it doesn't have to mean anything" Douglas says "but I know you want it to mean something" Melody says "I never said that" Douglas says.
"Douglas, no one asks someone on a date if they don't want it to lead somewhere" Melody says "Okay, fine, but if you're going to say no, tell me why" Douglas says, Melody sighs.
"I imagine, I'm exactly the kind of guy you want to avoid" Douglas says "No, it has nothing to do with you "Melody says.
"Melody, please" Douglas says "I can't, I've already finished this phase of my life okay" Melody says "That doesn't exist" Douglas says "Yes, I already told you this Douglas, I've tried and failed, I've been disappointed more than once, and my children suffered the consequences, I just got tired of it" Melody says.
"I understand, I also haven't had much luck with It" Douglas says "You're a great guy Douglas, and I really enjoy your company, but I just can't... I don't want to lose you too so" Melody says, Douglas looks away.
"wow that's not easy to hear" Douglas says "I'm sorry, but I just want things to stay the way they are" Melody says, Douglas looks at her, with a slightly upset look, but he understands, he sees that it doesn't necessarily mean that she doesn't like him, she's just afraid.
"You know that the things that happened to Krane and George weren't your fault" Douglas says calmly "I was the one who chose to get involved with him, and eventually everything happened as a result of that, so yes, it was my fault" Melody says.
"I'm different, I promise" Douglas says, Melody takes his hand, Douglas is surprised by this.
"I know, but I just concluded that I'm not good at it" Melody says "I don't care about that" Douglas says, Melody looks into his eyes and gives a slight smile, she takes a deep breath.
"I have my children to worry about now, my life is to take care of them... Finn in this case, my focus is on that and on my career, you deserve someone who has total focus on you...I'm not that person" Melody says, it seems like a way to close the subject, out of fear, Douglas shakes his head and smiles.
"We both know I'm not going to end this here, I'm not going to give up that easily Dr Stone" Douglas smirks, Melody smiles and scratches her nose to hide her wrinkled nose.
"Yeah, I know... But I'm not going to change my mind, Davenport" Melody says, Douglas smiles "Don't doubt me, I know how to deal with this stubbornness, your daughter is just like you" Douglas says, Melody rolls her eyes.
"and just like her sooner or later you will give in to the charm of a Davenport with a spike hair" Douglas winks at her and leaves, Melody smiles and tilts her head doubtfully.
......................................................................
Harper goes to Mission Command, Chase and AJ are working.
"What are you guys doing?" Harper asks "Oh Harp, I was going to look for you, we're working on AJ's idea of improving our suits" Chase says.
"And have you achieved anything yet?" Harper says "No, this energy works in a unique way, which makes it difficult to decipher which material would be ideal to block it" AJ says.
"But I noticed something, Kaz and Bree were hit but the effect was minimal" Chase says "But why?" Harper says.
"My theory is that those who have had contact with Arcturion are more resistant to its energy" Chase says "Sebastian didn't have direct contact with the Arcturion and because of his powers he is immune to its energy" Harper says.
"maybe just direct contact with the rock's energy at a high level would be enough" AJ says "But a very high level is lethal" Harper says, Chase looks at her bandaged arm.
"Maybe there's a specific level to create this protective layer somehow" Chase says "We can test, and work on these theories" Harper says.
Leo exits the HyperLift "Hi guys" Leo says "Hey how was your night, in the right room this time" Harper says, Chase chuckles.
"Very good, finally me and the guys came to an agreement, we made a cleaning schedule and everything but" Leo says "wow very impressive" Chase says.
"I'd say we're handling everything like true gentlemen" Leo says "and I think you've got a bit of a cleaning freak" AJ says "Hey keep to yourself, shorty...This is a side effect of years of chores and washing dishes...someone also needs to be responsible for this around here" Leo says.
"I'm glad you guys are getting along well" Harper says "Yeah, I would ask how your night was but...there are kids in the room" Leo says quietly pointing at AJ.
Harper and Chase glare and roll their eyes at Leo "what does he mean?" AJ says "NOTHING!" They say, AJ leaves.
Douglas leaves HyperLift "Douglas, how was it with Dr Stone, did you talk to her?" Chase says slightly uncomfortable "I thought you didn't approve?" Douglas says "I still have my doubts about" Chase says.
"About what?" Leo asks "Douglas wants to ask my mom out" Harper says "Ooh! And you invited her?" Leo asks "Yes but...she's busy" Douglas says.
"but you'll go out when she's free, right?" Harper ask "Yes, of course yes, but you know, her schedule is a bit full" Douglas laughs nervously.
"Obviously her schedule is full, she's running for the Nobel Prize! Who needs a date when the Nobel Prize is right there?" Chase says, Harper looks at Chase irritated.
"I'm talking about her not me, let's be clear" Chase says scared, Harper rolls her eyes "don't care about him, Douglas I'm happy for you" Harper says, Douglas looks at her and sighs.
"Uh... thank you" Douglas says slightly upset, Chase sighs "me too, after all whether I like it or not she seems to like you" Chase says "yes she really does" Harper says.
"really?" Douglas says "Haven't you noticed?" Harper says "what?" Douglas says "she wrinkles her nose when you say something funny or compliment her... it means she likes you" Chase says, Harper smiles at him.
"How are you so sure?" Douglas says "Harper does the same thing" Chase smiles "It's an involuntary reflex, it must run in the family" Harper says, Chase pats Douglas on the shoulder, Douglas gives a slight hopeful smile.
