Chapter Fourty-Nine: Perry 2.0

Luna's Pov

I was walking down the stairs with Chase and Leo as me and Chase held hands the entire time.

Once we reached the end of the stairs Principal Perry came out of her office with some student next to her while holding a microphone in her hand.

"Morning, germ sacks. I know that you've all been complaining that the technology around here isn't quite--" Principal Perry started but stopped because her microphone wasn't working.

 "Isn't quite--" Principal Perry started as she hit the microphone.

It made a really loud highpitch noise as we all covered our ears in pain.

"State of the art" Principal Perry chuckles.

"So, thanks to your truly, we're getting cutting-edge equipment for the whole school to enjoy" Principal Perry said.

 "Jojo! Betty! Let's go, ladies. Wheel is like it's hot" Principal Perry said to the lunch ladies.

"Watch her bring out something really old" I scoffed in annoyance.

The lunch ladies rolled up something that was covered with a sheet.

Principal Perry then smiled as she walked up to it.

"Behold! Mission Creek High's brand new media center!" Principal Perry said as she removed the sheet.

It was then revealed to be a really old T.V.

"I don't think you can call it technology if you have to change the channel with pliers" Leo said and I nodded.

"Why do I smell formaldehyde?" Chase asked.

"Cause I found it on the curb outside the morgue. I'm getting all my Christmas presents there, too. Aunt Dotty's gettin' sheets!" Principal Perry said.

"How is this thing new?" Chase asked.

"It's new to you, lady-face" Principal Perry said while laughing as she walked away to go get something.

"I really want to understand why she's still the principal of this school" I said in annoyance.

Chase chuckled as he pecked me on the lips.

Soon Principal Perry walked back over to the T.V with a cord in her hand.

"Okay, let's fire up the media center!" Principal Perry said.

Principal Perry plugs in the cord but then the T.V short circuits and takes out the power in the building.

"Okay, okay...minor setback. For the record, you all look much better in this light" Principal Perry grinned.

"At least we don't gotta see you anymore" I said, causing Leo and Chase to laugh.

At Home
In The Lab

Me, Chase and Leo made it back home and we were in the lab trying to do our homework.

"Leo, read what's on page 47 of your history book" Chase said.

"I don't have a page 47. I have a 4, a 12, a 32, and what I hope is gum on 98" Leo said and I cringed in disgust.

"This book is so old. Listen to this. Chapter 4, Horse-less carriages are taking over the streets of America" Chase said in annoyance.

"Other schools teach on laptops and tablets. We're reading from textbooks that warn us the British are coming" I said in annoyance.

"We need to do something to bring Mission Creek High to the 21st century" Leo said and we all nodded.

Dad walked into the lab and walked over to us.

"Ooh, maybe I can help" Dad said.

"No!" the three of us yelled together.

"What?" Dad asked in shock.

"I am a genius tech mogul! I could revolutionize your whole school. Why wouldn't you want me to help?" Dad asked.

"Because every time you try to help, it starts in a good place, but then your ego takes over and ruins everything" I said and the guys nodded.

Dad eyes widened in shock as I said that and he shook his head.

"That is not true. Give me one example" Dad said.

"Last week, you gave me a new backpack" Leo said and dad gave him a confused look.

"You said you needed a backpack" Dad shrugged.

"A backpack" Leo said as he went under the cyberdesk.

He took out his backpack that had a picture of dad's face in the front.

"All the guys in the office love theirs" Dad said with a smile.

"Trust me dad, they didn't" I said and Leo nodded.

"You don't get it. This is our school you're talking about" Chase said.

"Yeah, whatever disaster you create there will affect us every day" Leo said and I nodded.

"Guys, I promise I won't embarrass you. This is about your school, not about me" Dad said.

"Well, our school could really use the help..." Chase started and Leo groaned.

"Fine. But you keep that ego under control" Leo said and I nodded.

"Don't worry, my ego is officially checked" Dad scoffed.

Soon his phone rang and his ringtone was dad singing.

We all glared at him while he smiled before looking at us and raising his hands in surrender.

"What? Come on, that's just catchy" Dad defended.

"More like weird and annoying" I said and the guys nodded.

The Next Day
At School

When me, Chase and Leo walked into the school everything was filled with high tech gear.

I smiled as Chase had wrapped one arm around my shoulder.

Dad spotted us and smiled as he walked over to us.

"Hey, guys! Check it out! Electronic bulletin boards, tablets instead of textbooks, and this is the coolest part" Dad said as we walked over to Leo's locker.

"Check it out. By the end of today I will have fingerprint scanners on all the lockers" Dad said and I smied even more.

"Yes!" Chase smiled.

"We were gonna do retinal scanning, but it turns out eyeballs are highly flammable" Dad said and I rolled my eyes.

He then grabbed Leo's arm and placed his thumb on the retinal scanner and his locker opened.

"Hello, Leo Dooley" the Automated Locker Voice said.

"So, what do you think?" Dad asked.

"I think it's gonna be a lot harder to get out of when someone locks me inside" Leo said, causing me to giggle and for dad to roll his eyes.

"I gotta hand it to you, Mr. Davenport. This is amazing" Chase said and I nodded.

"Everything is so cool" I said.

"See? I told you it would be great" Dad nodded.

Soon we heard footsteps and we turned around as my eyes widened when I saw a robot version of Principal Perry step out of her office.

"What in the word?" I asked.

"Oh, and I see you gave Principal Perry a makeover. I especially love what you did to her face" Leo said.

"Zip it, Dooley" Robo-Perry said.

"That's not Principal Perry. That's Robo-Perry. She's a robot!" Dad said with a smile.

'Oh you've gotta be kidding me' I thought in annoyance.

Soon Principal Perry runs out of her office with a smile on her face.

"And she's beautiful!" Principal Perry said and dad smiled.

Then she started hugging her robot look alike and kissing it all over her face but the most weirdest and cringiest part was when she had cupped it's face and was close to kissing it on the lips.

Me and Chase looked disgusted while Leo had covered his eyes with his hands.

"Make it stop!" Leo yelled.

"Anyway, I designed Robo-Perry so she could roam the halls, handing out detentions while--" dad started but was cut off.

"I'm on a three-hour lunch break! Or lurking elsewhere" Principal Perry grinned.

"How could you do this?" Chase asked in disbelief.

"Simple. I, uh, took the foundations of a robot I built for private security and I repurposed the software. And then, of course, I matched her vocal pattern. It wasn't easy matching the sounds of a gravel truck unloading with a bear in labor, but I got it" Dad explained while I glared at him.

"I've always wanted a super cute twin sister" Principal Perry said.

"Well you got the twin sister but I don't see the super cute in you or her" I mocked.

Leo and Chase snorted, dad covered his mouth so he wouldn't laugh while Principal Perry glared at me.

She rolled her eyes at me before gasping.

"I'm gonna buy us matching bikinis" Principal Perry said.

"And I'm gonna gouge my eyes out" Leo said.

'Please let me join you' I thought.

"Shut it, Dooley!" Principal Perry and Robo-Perry said together.

They looked at each other before hugging once again.

"Thanks, Don!" Principal Perry said to dad as she tried to hug him but dad moved away.

"H-Hey--yeah, you're welcome. Yeah" Dad nodded.

The three of us pull dad away from her as we glared at him.

"Dad, why would you make another Perry?" I asked in annoyance.

"Principal Perry said if I make her life easier, she's gonna name a wing of the school after me" Dad grinned.

"You sold us out just to have your name above a doorway?" Chase asked in disbelief.

"Once again, your ego takes over and ruins everything" Leo said and I nodded.

" Hey. If my name on the school brings more prestige and funding because I'm so awesome, that's a win-win-win. That's three wins! That's a Daven-win!" Dad grinned as he walked away.

"I'm gonna kill him, I'm gonna kill him" I said in anger.

I tried going after him but Chase and Leo grabbed my arms and dragged me away before I could do anything.

A Few Hours Later

I walked into the lunch room but I frowned when I didn't see Chase or Leo.

I then walked back into the hallway and saw them eating by the school bench.

I walked over to them and sat next to Chase.

"Guys, why are you eating here and not in the cafeteria?" I asked.

"Everyone hates us, we entered the lunch room only for everyone to glare at us so we just came out here to eat" Leo explained.

"Let me guess, because of Robo-Perry, huh?" I asked and they nodded.

Right when I said that Robo-Perry walked by us while dragging a student with her.

"Keep it up, Chip Parker, and you will be in detention forever you-- searching-database-for-insult..." Robo-Perry started as she looked up an insult.

"Mouth-breather" Robo-Perry said as she dragged the student away.

The student glared at Chase and Leo while I showed him my middle finger, causing him to turn away.

"Great. Everybody at school hates us" Chase groaned.

"Yeah, but now it's high-tech hate" Leo said and Chase nodded.

Soon dad walked over to us.

"Hey, how come you guys aren't eating in the Davenporteria?" Dad asked.

"Funny thing. When your dad creates an even worse version of the worst principal ever, kids tend to turn on you" Chase said and Leo nodded.

Chase then tried eating his banana but it got smacked out of his hand by some random student that walked by.

"Why you little ass!" I growled.

I tried getting up so I could teach that boy a lesson but Chase quickly pulled me back down and wrapped one arm around my shoulder.

"Clam down sweetheart, it's not worth it" Chase said.

I sighed and nodded.

"Look, don't worry. I'm sure this will all blow over once kids get used to Robo-Perry" Dad reassured them.

"We can't stand the original Perry, you think we're going to stand a robot version of her" I said in annoyance as I ate my strawberry.

"Remember when you first met Leo? You couldn't stand him" Dad said.

Leo's eyes widened as he glared at Chase who smiled nervously at him and shrugged.

Soon Principal Perry walks over to us.

"Donny D!" Principal Perry grinned.

"Principal P!" Dad grinned.

The two of them did some weird handshake together.

"Old people. You don't think you are, but you are" Leo said and me and Chase nodded.

"You are a genius" Principal Perry said.

"And you are a master of the obvious" Dad said with a smirk.

"Robo-Perry is amazing. I know it's only been a few hours but--" Principal Perry said before inhaling the air.

"Do you smell that?" Principal Perry asked.

"Moist cat food?" Chase asked.

"I was running late, I grabbed a can, I thought it was tuna! Live with it!" Principal Perry snapped at him before turning back to dad.

"Fear. It's fear. And it's everywhere. It's the best smell in the world" Principal Perry grinned.

"I prefer crisply-minted hundreds, but whatever floats your boat, Perry-bomb" Dad said.

"Listen, I was telling the superintendent how wonderful Robo-Perry is, and he's bringing the entire school board by this afternoon to check her out. Soon, if we're lucky, there'll be a Robo-Perry in every school in the district" Principal Perry explained.

My eyes widened and I turned to the guys who were the same as me.

"And, after that, every school in America!" Dad grinned as him and Principal Perry start laughing together.

"Great. Now kids we've never met will hate us" Leo said and Chase nodded.

"Donald Davenport, the children's savior. I'm gonna make so much money!" Dad said.

"And as your partner, I'll be happy to give you 30%" Principal Perry said.

"Well, I think you're forgetting who created this work of genius" Dad said.

"Well, I think you're forgetting who's putting the deal together" Principal Perry said.

"Why don't we go discuss this in my office. I think a lot more clearly in my butt-massaging chair" Principal Perry said.

Me and the guys cringed in disgust.

"I'm sorry, I blacked out after the word chair" Dad said but she just rolled her eyes at him.

We have to do something to stop this disaster from happening.

A Few Hours Later

A little after lunch everyone had went off to class but me and the guys stayed.

We popped out from our hiding spot at the staircase as we saw Robo-Perry charging by the school bench.

"Okay, coast is clear, everyone's in class, and Robo-Perry is charging" Leo said as we walked down the stairs.

"I just need to find out where Mr. Davenport put her control panel" Chase said as we walked over to Robo-Perry.

Chase then pressed his fingers agaisnt his temple as he started scanning Robo-Perry.

"Hundreds, hundreds of places to choose from, and he puts it there" Chase said in annoyance as he lifted her arm and pointed at her underarm.

"That's just gross" I said in disgust.

"Have fun" Leo said as he pushed Chase to Robo-Perry.

"She's a robot. How does she sweat?" Chase asked as he opened the control panel.

Me and Leo just shrugged as he continued doing what he was doing.

Once he was done he sighed and closed the control panel.

"There we go. Instead of seeing Robo-Perry patrolling the halls, the school board will see this..." Chase said.

He then pressed a few buttons as Robo-Perry got up from the bench and started dancing.

I giggled as Chase and Leo started dancing as well.

Soon dad walked over to us and let out a shriek.

"What did you guys do to her?" Dad asked.

"Tapped into her control panel and adjusted the settings. You messed with us, now it's payback time" Chase said with a smug smirk.

"N-no--no! Robo-Perry's original programming was for military patrol. If any unauthorized user tampers with it, it resets to its factory default" Dad explained.

"So reset her date and time. Big deal" Chase shrugged.

"The factory default is, Search and Destroy" Dad said through gritted teeth.

"Now it's locked in and I can't stop it!" Dad said.

My eyes widened when Robo-Perry turned around and her eyes were red.

"Threat detected" Robo-Perry said as dad shrieked.

"Destroy" Robo-Perry said as she grabbed dad and threw him across the room.

"Dad!" I yelled in fear.

"Now, that's what you call a Daven-splat" Leo said and Chase nodded.

I glared at them as I ran over to dad to help him up with Leo and Chase following behind me.

Once we helped dad off the ground Robo-Perry was destroying everything in the hallway and making a mess.

"We've got to stop her before she destroys the whole school" Dad said.

"I think we can divert her attention and lure her into that empty classroom" Chase said.

"That's perfect. We just need some bait" I said.

Soon we all looked at each other before looking at Leo who was looking at Robo-Perry.

He then realized we were looking at him and slightly moved away from us.

"Me? Why me?" Leo asked.

"Well, because you're...you are..." Chase said, trying to come up with something to say.

"Brave?" Leo asked with a smile.

"Brave" the three of us nodded together.

"All right, I'll do it" Leo confidently said as he took a few steps forward.

"Hey, Robo-Perry, over--" Leo softly whispered yelled at her in fear.

We all groaned in annoyance as I walked over to him and shoved him more farther away.

"Grow up and be a man Leo!" I yelled at him before going back to Chase and dad.

"Hey, over here, buds and bolts!" Leo yelled as Robo-Perry turned around to face him.

"Tiny threat detected" Robo-Perry said.

"Okay, I am too big to be tiny, and too tiny to be a threat" Leo said while turning to us.

Soon Robo-perry started walking towards him.

"Ahh!" Leo yelled as he started running away from her.

He then led her into the empty classroom and the three of us ran over there.

Soon we heard Leo yelling and screaming and we heard some things being thrown across the room and some smashing as well.

"Aim for the bolts!" Dad yelled.

Soon Leo slid out of the room from underneath and manages to kick Robo-Perry from behind and the three of us quickly run over and shut the door.

"Leo, are you okay?" Chase asked.

"Guys, I've seen some things" Leo said in fear as he sat on the ground while holding his knees.

"You survived so man up!" I yelled at him.

Me, Chase and dad continued holding the door shut so Robo-Perry doesn't get out but it's getting hard because she's still making a mess in the classroom and trying to get out.

"How could you guys do this to me?" Dad asked.

"We had to. You doubled the Perry, which doubled our pain!" Chase said and I nodded.

"Pain? You don't know pain! I am a damaged little boy" Leo yelled and I scoffed at him.

"Look, maybe you guys are right. From now on, I will not let my ego get the better of me. Which shouldn't be hard, because I am so awesome at everything" Dad grinned.

"And you wonder why we did this" I scoffed.

Soon Principal Perry walked in with the school board.

"Oh, great. The school board" Dad said.

"This demonstration will show that Mission Creek High is the school of the future" Principal Perry said before turning to dad.

"And there's the man who's 30% responsible for it, Donald Davenport" Principal Perry said with a smile.

"Principal Perry!" Dad said while chuckling as he walked over to her and the school board.

Leo quickly got up from the ground to help us with the door.

"What's the word, Donny bird?" Principal Perry asked as they both laughed.

"Uh, where's robo me?" Principal Perry asked.

"Uh, she is, uh, supervising a parent-teacher conference" Dad said.

"Oh" Principal Perry said.

Some loud banging is heard from the classroom and the school board look a bit worried.

"It's not going well" Dad said while shaking his head.

"Well, get that beautiful hunk of metal out here. I want to show her off" Principal Perry grinned.

"Oh, why don't we just stay out here and look at that big beautiful hunk of...you?" Dad said with a nervous smile.

Before we knew it Robo-Perry yanked the classroom door off, causing me, Chase and Leo to let out a few yells before we quickly backed away from her.

"There she is! Come give your sissy a kissy!" Principal Perry grinned as she did some kissy noises.

"Threat detected" Robo-Perry said as she looked at Principal Perry.

"Threat? I'm no threat. What are you-- what are you talking about?" Principal Perry asked in confusion.

"Destroy. Destroy" Robo-Perry said as she started walking towards her.

"Destroy me? Oh, honey, many have tried. I don't think so." Principal Perry laughed.

Before we knew it the both of them started tussling each other as the school board quickly moved away from them while me and the guys and dad walked a bit closer to them.

"All right, I don't know what's going on, but you're going down, metal me!" Principal Perry said.

"No, you are going down, fleshy me" Robo-perry said as the both of them resumed tussling each other.

"We're not getting much of an education, but where else can you see this?" Leo asked in amusement and we all nodded.

A few minutes had passed and they were still fighting and Principal Perry was losing.

"Don, what's going on? I don't think I can hold her much longer. She's strong. You must've given her some of my unbridled rage" Principal Perry said.

Then Robo-Perry threw her across the room and I cringed when she hit the wall.

"Careful!" Dad yelled.

Soon Adam and Bree ran in from the gym while this new kid Alistair ran in from the front.  

"Principal Perry! Principal Perry! You have to help me! Adam and--" Alistair started but when he turned around he screamed once he saw Robo-Perry.

Robo-Perry then grabbed him and threw him across the room and he landed on top of two men that were school board members.

"Oh! Now, she knows how to lift" Adam said and I nodded.

Soon Adam and Bree walked over to us as we looked at dad.

"Mr. Davenport, how are we gonna stop Robo-Perry?" Chase asked.

"We don't have a choice. You're gonna have to use your bionics" Dad said and my eyes widened in shock.

"You want us to expose ourselves in front of the school board?" Chase asked in shock.

"No, he wants us to use our bionics in front of the school board" Adam scoffed.

"This guy!" Adam said with a smile and I glared at him.

"No. Look, we have to do something! Robo-Perry is gonna destroy the entire school! Just do it!" Dad yelled.

"Me too?" I asked.

"Yes, you too pumpkin" Dad nodded.

Me and the trio looked at each other and nodded as we turned to Robo-Perry.

Dad and Leo got behind us as we got into fighting stance.

Before we could even attack her Principal Perry screamed as she ran up to Robo-Perry and tackled her to the ground.

We all cringed as she started attacking her.

Then my eyes widened when I saw Principal Perry get up from the ground with Robo-Perry's head in her hand.

"There can only be one!" Principal Perry yelled.

Leo then leaned into me and Chase.

"Still one too many" Leo whispered.

Me and Chase snorted as we nodded while Chase and Leo fistbumped each other.

Chase side hugged me as he kissed my temple.

Well, at least Robo-Perry is gone.
