Episode 8: Girl's night

Chase, Adam and Leo are in the cafeteria, Adam has made a catapult with spoons, and is throwing paper at Chase with it.

"Adam is there any way you can sit at a table without doing something with the cutlery?" Chase says "I can make something with the food if you prefer?" Adam says.

Leo smiles at the phone "what's so fun?" Adam asks "I'm talking to Janelle" Leo says "but she's over there" Chase points to the table next to them, where Janelle is "There are matters that are talked about privately Chase!" Leo says, Chase frowns.

Bree and Harper enter the cafeteria, Bree sits down while Harper goes to get juice from the machine.

"Hey guys!" Bree says excitedly "why that little smile?" Leo asks "I got two tickets for that concert!!" Bree says "Only two?" Adam ask "Oh yeah I forgot to mention why I'm excited...you guys aren't going!" Bree says.

"why not?" Adam says "cuz I'm having a girls' night out so just Harper and I are going!" Bree it says "WAIT! HARPER WILL BE THERE!!?" Chase says loudly, in a surprised yet excited tone, everyone stops and looks at him confused.

He clears his throat "not that I care....I just thought you had other friends" Chase says straightening up in his chair.

"yeah what about Caitlin?" Adam ask "oh she'll be there too" Bree says, everyone looks at Chase "what?" He says "I don't know, we're just waiting for you to throw that weird tantrum you had just now without any reason" Leo says, Chase makes a straight face and goes back to eating.

"I wasn't going to invite Caitlin but she found out and bought the ticket too so" Bree rolls her eyes

"can we go?" Adam says "yeah can we go!?" Chase asks excitedly "No!" Bree says.

"oh I think I'll go!" Leo says looking at his cell phone "which part of girls night y'all don't understand!" Bree says "no I'm serious Janelle just asked me.... I'll go!" Leo says.

"if Leo is going, let's go" Adam says "why you guys want to go you guys don't even like the band that much" Bree says.

"I want to go because you don't want me to go" Adam smiles "do you get pleasure from pissing me off!?" Bree asks "makes my day...look at that little face...priceless" Adam says.

"what about you?" Bree asks Chase "uh...I want cos...I want..." Chase says "Hey guys!" Harper appears behind him, Chase gives a little startled jump "Harper...hi" Chase says quietly.

"what are you guys talking about?" she sits down next to him "these three""two!" Leo corrects Bree "two idiots want to go to the concert too" Bree says.

"and?" Harper ask "boys can't be at girls' night!" Bree says "logically....but girls night can be adapted to a...""No Harper, it can't!" Bree says "okay It can't... no need to spit!" Harper says wiping her face.

"Sorry guys but.....just me and Bree are going" Harper says "but hypothetically if one of us could go in Bree's place who would it be? Hypothetically!" Chase says, looking away from her.

Harper frowns "hypothetically if I answer this question will or will my answer not have relevance to the conversation at hand?" Harper smirk "wow!" Chase gets nervous.

"I'm kidding" Harper says, she smile, Chase smiles slightly "Anyone would be fine I just want to go to the show to be honest....I've never been to one" Harper says, Chase sighs.

"Me neither, I'm so excited there's finally a girl here who understands me" Bree says she stands up and hugs Harper.

"I planned everything..." Bree says "what's so much to plan?" Harper says "you've never seen movies?" Bree says "yes but life ain't a movie" Harper says.

"are you sure cuz you're sitting at a table with three Bionic people being you a trained assassin...sounds pretty cinematic to me" Leo says.

"don't be silly Leo, that's not a movie....if this was a movie Chase would be taller" Adam says "and you'd be smarter" Chase says angry "Dude What kind of movie are you watching?" Adam says.

"See why I want a break from this" Bree says "honestly no" Harper laughs.

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

The bell rings everyone leaves the table, Bree tells Chase to stay

"what?" Chase asks "What was that?" Bree says with a slight smile crossing her arms "that what?" Chase asks with a worried look.

"what do you think? that "Oh wait! Harper will be there!!"" Bree says imitating Chase, making his voice with her vocal manipulation.

"It wasn't like that!" Chase says "It was just like that" Bree says, Chase rolls his eyes.

"I've been talking about this concert for months and you haven't even listened, You don't even like the band and all of a sudden you're super interested...come on Chase!" Bree says.

"How am I supposed to know I don't like the band if I've never been to a concert before, right!?" Chase laughs nervously.

"You only want to go because of Harper" Bree says "No! I want to go because I really appreciate the music of..." Chase realizes he doesn't even know who the singer of the consert is.

"see!? admit you like her!" Bree says "no cuz i don't like her" Chase says crossing his arms.

"okay, admit it and i'll give you my ticket" Bree says "seriously?" Chase says in a hopeful tone, Bree nods, Chase rolls his eyes and takes a deep breath.

"Fine!! I confess I...might be feeling something for her lately, and I may have a...slight crush on her" Chase says with a shy tone, he turns red.

"I KNEW IT!...yey! I knew it!" Bree says super excited, she hugs Chase.

"okay fine now give me the ticket" Chase says "oh you really believed that?" Bree says "what!?" Chase says "You tricked me?" Chase walks away "but it made you admit your feelings" Bree says.

Chase makes an annoyed face "Actually I lied too... I...don't...like her" his voice cracks "you really think I'm going to fall for that!?" Bree says.

Chase looks at her with a scared look "relax Chase" Bree says "It's okay I won't tell anyone, not even her" Bree says, Chase takes a deep breath.

"so can I go to the concert now?" Chase asks "No... But I can do something for you!" Bree says "What!?" Chase asks.

"It'll just be me and her, I can try to find out if she likes you too!" Bree says "can you?" Chase asks "yeah, on girls' night out one of the things they always do in movies is talk about boys....honestly you weren't the type of guy i was imagining talking about but" Bree says.

Chase thinks about It and then he smiles "well...you don't have to do that" Chase says "Oh okay then!" Bree turns around, Chase makes a confused face rolls his eyes and follows Bree.

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

In the Davenport mansion, Harper is on the couch playing with her cell phone, Leo comes downstairs with two hangers and pieces of clothing.

"be honest with me.." Leo says, Harper looks at him "which one of these clothes says "U are the guy of my dreams"?"Leo asks.

"Is this a serious question?" Harper says "which one is better?" Leo asks "I like the blue one but..." Harper walks over and puts the other piece in front of him.

"you look good in red, put a leather jacket over it, and she will fall at your feet" Harper says with a smile "wow you're good!" Leo says, Harper smiles with a proud look.

"so you and Janelle?" Harper asks "yes!" Leo says with a smile "no i mean is she your girlfriend or...?" Harper ask.

"I like to refer to her as, my suitor!" Leo says "uh classy" Harper says sarcastically.

Bree walks in talking on the phone "No Caitlin no one cares!!" Bree says irritably into the phone and hangs up "what is wrong?" Harper asks "I didn't even invite her and still she finds a way to screw it up" Bree says.

"It's a big place maybe we won't even find her" Harper says "no you don't understand she always finds a way" Bree says and holds Harper closer "Always!" Bree says.

"Well me and Janelle will be in the VIP area if you need me" Leo says "VIP area!?" Bree says "yup" Leo says.

"How did she get it?" Harper ask "her dad is going to work as a Security at the place" Leo says.

Harper starts laughing "what's so funny?" Leo says "you go on a supposed date with that girl while her dad will be there manning security probably armed" Harper says.

"I hadn't thought of that" Leo says scared "ooh good luck with that" Bree says "and if you're going to do something, take the opportunity, this night could be your last" Harper says.

"You think you're very funny, don't you?" Leo says, Harper chuclkes "Sorry but look you can use this opportunity to impress her dad" Harper says, Bree nods.

"how?" Leo asks "use your Leo charm!" Bree says,she and Harper laugh.

Adam and Chase walk in "what's going on?" Chase asks "Leo's father-in-law is security at the concert where he and Janelle go on a date" Bree says patting Leo on the shoulder.

"oooh!" Chase says laughing "dude you're screwed" Adam says with a smile.

"No, he's going to love me for the first two seconds" Leo says "If he doesn't kill you in the first one second" Harper laughs.

"I'm serious!" Leo says "Oh yeah?" Harper asks "yeah cuz....I'm going to meet him...today when I pick up Janelle in an hour" Leo says a little scares "Oh how I wish I could be there" Adam laughs.

Bree's watch beeps "you know what that means?" Bree asks Harper excitedly "a bomb!" Harper says pretending to be scared when she knows what it means.

"Where!?" Adam says ducking scared, Bree and Harper roll their eyes "the mall's open, come on in!" Bree grabs Harper's arm.

"good luck Leo!" Harper says, she and Bree leave.

"well I'm going to try to make Janelle's father not hate me" Leo says "wait" Chase says thoughtfully.

"we'll help you with that" Chase says "why?" Leo says "because we we care about you and Janelle" Chase says putting his hand on Leo's shoulder.

"do we?" Adam says "Yes!!" Chase says "okay!?" Leo says confused, he leaves to leave the clothes hangers in his room.

"how are we going to help him?" Adam asks "I know what to do relax" Chase says "why are we going to do this?" Adam says.

"because if Janelle's dad works security at the show, Leo can convince him to let us in" Chase says "ooh got it!" Adam says.

"But it will only work if her dad likes Leo so let's make sure he does everything right" Chase says "If it doesn't work?" Adam asks "well we'll find another way" Chase says.

Adam chuckles "man I'm scared how much you like this band!" Adam says leaving "Yeah...me too" Chase says to himself.

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

The next day Bree and Harper go to the concert, but there's a huge queue to get in, so they're in line and wait.

"You can't like...super speed us in there...no one will see" Harper says "no i want to have the experience of a normal girl going to a concert" Bree says.

"cool but i want the bionic experience so..." Harper says "No Harper! You can have fun waiting in line" Bree says "how?" Harper says "let's talk" Bree says, Harper smiles.

"okay fine what do you want to talk about?" Harper asks "are you interested in someone?" Bree ask.

"yeah! I'm interested in the guys on the other side of that door and the songs they're going to play" Harper says sarcastically, Bree rolls her eyes.

"I'm serious! Do you have a crush on someone?" Bree asks, Harper looks away "why do you care?" Harper asks "I don't care, I'm just making conversation" Bree says.

"But you chose this specific subject out of millions you could have chosen to talk about" Harper says "just answer!" Bree says "okay sorry" Harper says.

"so?" Bree asks "maybe... I didn't think about that" Harper says "We have this queue time to think" Bree says with a smile.

"I don't know Bree! I just got out of prison and everything that happened do you think it gave me time to feel a...very weird connection with someone..." Harper says thinking.

"Uuh! you had feelings for someone! Who!?" Bree says excitedly "I don't know!" Harper says "What's happened?" Bree asks "I don't know" Harper says nervously.

"You said a really weird connection what does that mean?" Bree asks "I don't know, just that I feel good around him and that I can be myself but... I don't know if that's having a crush on someone?" Harper says thoughtfully.

"who is it?" Bree says, Harper smirk "I won't tell you" Harper says "why not!?" Bree says "it'll be more fun that way" Harper winks.

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

Leo and Janelle pass by, Leo walks by with a smug look, "Hey! that must be Janelle's dad!" Harper points out.

"what if he lets us in!?" Bree says "I thought you wanted the normal girl experience?" Harper says "Duh! trying to game the system is normal girl stuff now come on!" Bree says pulling Harper by the arm.

They go to Janelle and Leo who are talking to Janelle's father "Hey Leo, Janelle! So glad we finally found you!" Bree says.

"Bree what are you doing?" Leo says "shh! what do you think? we came to see the concert remember?" Bree says.

"uh I didn't know you guys were here" Janelle says, Harper laughs hug Janelle "neither did I! Oh Janelle our joke never gets old does it?" Harper says.

"what joke?" Janelle says "the one we always do, where you pretend we're not besties and you don't know what I'm talking about... oh Janelle always so funny" Harper says laughing nervously, Bree laughs along with her.

"so I'm Leo's sister and this is Harper we are friends with your daughter" Bree says "are you?" Leo says "Leo don't steal our joke!" Harper says threatening him.

"Yeah, and we were just about to go in so.." Bree says "calm down young lady" Janelle's dad says "Where are the tickets?" He asks "here" Bree hands over the tickets.

"You said you had two extra guests?" He asks Leo "uh yeah but""it's us!" Bree says "No, it's Cha...""us!" Bree says "Yes they are" Leo says

"okay then you can come in" he opens the passage,and they enter.

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

Chase and Adam get there a few minutes later.

"Oh man we have to wait on the line" Adam complains "No, Janelle's dad over there, Leo said he made it all right for him to let two more guests in" Chase says "Cool" Adam says.

they go to Janelle's dad "hello sir we came to see the concert" Chase says "tickets?" He asks "we don't have" Adam says "we're the two guests of Leo Dooley your daughter's friend" Chase says.

"very funny but I'm not going to fall for that scam" he says "what?" Chase asks "he already came in and with his two guests" he says "how? We are the guests!" Chase says.

"wow you think we're fake and the real Adam and Chase are in there and we're nothing more than mere copies!?" Adam says.

"No, I'll call Leo" Chase says picking up the phone "Cool there's no signal!" Chase says "because the phone that works is with the real Chase! No one gives a clone a real phone" Adam says.

"seriously you can't let us in?" Chase says "Rules are rules" he says "sorry Chase but you can always listen to the songs on Spotify" Adam says patting Chase on the shoulder and leaving.

Chase waits for Adam to be far enough away that he can't hear.

"Look, I understand but...the girl I like is there and I really want to spend time with her in a nice place to see if I have a chance" Chase says "Oh so this is because of a girl?" Janelle's dad asks "yes...yeah" Chase says shyly.

"Sorry man, but I'm sure there will be other opportunities with her...in the right place, right time" he says, Chase sighs.

"look kid if she's the right one, everything will be easy" Janelle's dad says "thanks man" Chase says upset, walking away.

Adam is in a hot dog cart buying a hot dog, Chase sits on the sidewalk a little farther away.

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

Chase is listening to the music outside, when he hears footsteps.

"Chase!?" Harper says approaching "oh hey!" Chase says "what are you doing out here?" Harper asks "what are YOU doing here!?" Chase ask.

"I can't come in there" Harper says "why not?" Chase asks "They won't let me!" Harper says "you got kicked out How?" Chase asks.

"well let's just say Bree and I sort...we fight Caitlin" Harper says "what?" Chase ask "she was insulting Bree, and she started to get mad and was about to hit Caitlin and then I tried to pull it away and anyway at the end of it, the three of us got kicked out" Harper says.

"so where's Bree?" Chase ask "in there she used her invisibility app to get in without being seen" Harper says "oh" Chase says, Harper sits down next to him.

"what about you? What are you doing here?" Harper says "uh...Leo had promised to talk to Janelle's dad to let me and Adam in as his guests" Chase says "Oh you were the guests!" Harper says.

"Bree and I took your place" Harper says, Chase nods "sorry" Harper says "its okay" Chase says.

"but look you can hear the music from here" Harper says "yeah you're right" Chase says looking at the ground whit a smile.

"and where's Adam?" Harper asks "he is..." Chase points to the dog cart where Adam is not "Actually I don't know, I think I lost him" Chase says, Harper laughs.

Chase smiles with her laugh, she looks at him, he looks away and starts fiddling nervously with his fingers.

"So... do you like these songs?" Chase says "yeah I like all kinds of music" Harper says "me too" Chase says.

"Serious? Do you play any instruments?" Harper asks "I played guitar once...but I have bionics smarts so I can play anything" Chase says "that's really cool" Harper says tucking her hair behind her ear.

"and you? do you play an instrument?" Chase asks "uh...well yeah...but it's not as cool as guitar" Harper says "what is it?" Chase asks, Harper rolls her eyes "Promise you won't laugh?" Harper says.

"okay give me a sec" Chase braces himself, Harper laughs "okay stop!" Harper punches him in the arm, he looks away shyly.

"okay, what?" Chase ask "A harp" Harper says laughing, "oh my god!" Chase laughs "don't laugh!" Harper says, Chase tries to control the smile, Harper laughs with him lightly.

"wait so you're a harper named Harper" Chase laughs "I shouldn't have told you!" Harper says with a slight smile "No, sorry" Chase says.

Harper looks at him shaking her head "but was that by chance or did you purposefully learn to play the harp because of your name?" Chase says with a smirk "I was a kid with a lot of imagination, I thought it was fate or whatever" Harper says, Chase smiles.

"I know it's pretty ridiculous" Harper says "no I think it's cu..." Chase was going to say cute but he stopped halfway "it's cool, it's a noble instrument" he says, clearing his throat.

"i know....Now this is the part of the conversation where you say that you, Chase, have been in a car chase or something" Harper laughs at her own joke "Okay I never heard that one, thanks for that" Chase says laughing.

She looks at him laughing, he stops when he sees her looking at him, Chase looks away.

"I think I'll be going" Harper says "okay" Chase says watching her get up "I'll see you tomorrow at school, thanks for... keeping me company" Harper says "sure" Chase says, she leaves.

Chase watches her go with a smile biting his lip and leaning his head against the wall.

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

The other day everyone is at school, Bree is sleeping on her feet.

"Gee, what's going on with her?" Adam says "she spent all night last night with the invisibility app on it kills her energy" Chase says, Leo walks over.

"Hey Leo, how it went with Janelle yesterday?" Adam asks "it was cool but Harper and Bree almost breaking Caitlin's face put a damper on the romantic mood" Leo says

"but at least her dad doesn't hate me" Leo says "what about her?" Adam says "one thing at a time Adam" Leo says.

Bree almost falls, Chase catches her "Bree I think you better go home and sleep in your capsule "Chase says "I'm fine!" Bree says "No I'm taking you home" Chase says "okay" Bree says.

"Hey Bree" Harper walks past them "don't yell I'm right here!" Bree says "what's wrong with her?" Harper asks "she left the invisibility app on too long she needs to recharge" Chase says.

"I told you this would happen!" Harper says "and who are you? my mother?" Bree says "I'll take her home" Chase says "Please!" Harper says going to Adam and Leo.

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

At the Lab, Chase activates Bree's capsule, recharging her energies, she was already much better.

"how are you feeling?" Chase asks "better" Bree says "So...How was yesterday?" Chase asks "You want to know if I talked to Harper huh?" Bree says "No, I don't care about that....but did you?" Chase says.

"Yeah" Bree says "So ?" Chase asks "I don't know, she likes someone but she didn't tell me who" Bree says "oh" Chase looks down.

"she said it's someone she feels a weird connection with" Bree says, Chase looks at her worriedly.

"what's the problem?" Bree says "Is that Adam?" Chase says "I don't know...but he's her best friend so...maybe not" Bree says, Chase looks upset.

"Hey" Bree gets out of the capsule and walks over to him "do you think I have a chance?" Chase asks "with a regular girl? No, but luckily for you, Harper is not normal....that girl is still in an unknown quantity to me" Bree says and hugs Chase that gives a slight smile.
