Chapter Fourty-Six: Adam Up

Luna's Pov

We were all in the lab as the trio were training in dad's simulator.

They were punching, kicking and doing alot of cool flips.

Me and Leo were smiling at them though I was a bit mad I couldn't join since I do have bionics now.

But I just need to get them under control soon.

Soon they were done with training and they took off their goggles.

"Great job, guys. You just took out an entire unit of virtual cyborgs" Leo said and I nodded.

Soon Eddy appeared and we all looked at him.

"I think it's sad that you have to invent people to play with you" Eddy said and I giggled.

"All right Leo, I'm off the clock. Let's get outta here" Adam said with a smile and Leo nodded.

They were about to leave but Chase stopped them.

"Whoa whoa whoa! Just 'cause Mr. Davenport's away doesn't mean we stop training" Chase said.

Adam and Leo both groaned in annoyance

"How do you think I feel? I'm missing a four-hour documentary on the history of the Printing Press" Chase said in annoyance.

The others looked at him weirdly while I sighed.

I've got to get him to have some real fun that's not related to school or anything.

"But Leo and I were gonna play human bull's-eye bounce... don't worry, it's way more dangerous than it sounds" Adam grinned.

"Human bull's-eye bounce. Is there any way you can get a good enough bounce to land in the emergency room? 'Cause that would save us a lot of time" Chase said.

" Nope. He's right, Adam. As much as I enjoy watching you get hurt and--" Bree started and soon started laughing.

"I really do—we have to train" Bree said while laughing at first then going serious at the end.

"Oh, come on! The adults are away! If we don't take advantage by doing something destructive, we're no better than... Chase" Leo said while pointing to Chase.

Chase gave him an offended look while I rolled my eyes at him.

"I'm sorry, but unless he can be in two places at once, he's training" Chase said and Bree nodded.

"Come on, let's get the bo staffs" Chase said as he walked waay.

"Oh man, I never get to do what I want. It's not fair" Adam whined.

"Aww. Are all of your cool bionic abilities and top secret missions getting you down?" Bree mockingly asked.

"Thanks Bree. I knew you'd understand" Adam said with a nod.

Bree rolled her eyes while I giggled and walked with her to help Chase get the bo staffs.

But, something tells me Adam isn't going to give up until he gets his fun time.

The Next Day
At School

School for the most part was alright, but boring.

I had a few homework assignments I need to do but I can get them done in like 15 miuntes.

Anyways, right now I was with Bree and Chase.

Chase had one arm wrapped around my shoulder as we were talking to Bree.

Then all of a sudden Principal Perry walked over to us.

"Hey. Hansel and Gretel and Walker" Principal Perry said and I groaned in annoyance.

"My niece is visiting from.... um... wherever she lives, and I'mma assign you two to be chaperones for a couple of days" Principal Perry said.

I glared at her and shook my head, "that's not gonna happen" I said.

Bree and Chase immediately started coming up with excuses but Principal Perry started laughing.

"Oh, that's so cute. You think you have a choice. Ha ha ha ha ha!" Principal Perry laughed.

"But why would you need us to show her around? You can't stand us" Bree asked.

"No, I can't stand you two. I can somewhat tolerate Walker over here, but that's only because she scares me" Principal Perry said and I smirked.

"As I should" I said while flipping my hair.

"Look, my niece's sweetness and... if she hangs around the cool kids, they'll corrupt her. That's why she's hanging with you two. If it's unclear, let me spell it out: you're not cool" Principal Perry said.

Bree and Chase glared at her while I rolled my eyes.

"Besides Walker, she's actually cool" Principal Perry said and I smirked.

Soon a girl with brown hair and glasses walked into the school.

"Hi, aunt Terry" the girl said with a sweet voice as she walked up to us.

"Kerry, darling. This is uhh... give me a second... Kevvvinnn... Suzzzzannnn... and Luna" Principal Perry said while pointing at Bree, Chase and me.

"Bree and Chase" Bree said.

"No one really cares" Principal Perry said.

"Nice to meet you. I'm Kerry Perry. Thanks for showing me around. I hope it's not too much of a bother" Kerry said with a sweet smile as she extended her hand.

I narrowed my eyes at her and crossed my arms.

'This little girl is pretending to be nice in front of Perry, trust me. There's no way someone related to that woman is nice' I thought.

"No, no. We are happy to be forced to help" Bree said in slight annoyance as she shook Kerry's hand.

"Great. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm headed to the chem lab to sear off a wart" Principal Perry said and I shuddered in disgust.

"Bye, aunt Terry! Hee hee!" Kerry said with a smile and a wave.

Principal Perry smiled back at her and walked away.

Soon Kerry turned back to us and instead of her smiling at us she was glaring at us.

"Here's the deal, ladies. I'm skipping school and hitting the mall. And when I get there, I'm gonna plant a dead fly in my burrito and eat for free" Kerry said.

'I knew it' I thought.

"Sorry, but as your chaperone--" Chase started but she cut him off.

"Shut it, squat-mug! Little elves called—they want you back at the tree to make cookies" Kerry mocked.

I glared at her and she seemed to notice.

"What is it pretty face? Got something to say then say it" Kerry said with a smirk.

"Gladly you little brat" I said with a confident smirk.

Bree and Chase took a few steps back.

I walked up to her and grabbed her by the hair and pulled on it, making her wince.

"Hey, get off me" Kerry said as she tried getting free but I had a strong grip.

And I wasn't even using my bionics.

"Now you listen to me little brat, you even think about talking to me like you're the boss of me. I will not hesitate to make your life a living nightmare. And if you even think about telling this to your aunt, I will not hesitate to cut a few pieces of your hair. Now, you treat me with respect and don't you dare act like that in front of me. Got it?" I warned her.

"Yes, yes, yes. I got, just let go" Kerry said.

"Good" I smirked before letting her go.

She stumbled back a bit but managed to stay on her feet and fixed her hair.

"You're scary" Kerry said to me and I smirked even more.

"I know" I said.

She then turned back to Bree and Chase.

"I'm outta here" Kerry said as she started walking away but Chase stopped her.

"You can't just go" Chase said.

"Yeah. What are we supposed to tell your aunt? Besides the fact that she should round up some bail money" Bree said and I giggled.

"Tell her I was with you two nimrods all day! And, you better do my homework, or else you'll get this" Kerry warned as she put on her nice act.

"Aunt Terry! They were so mean to me! Make them pay! Make them pay!" Kerry yelled in her fake sweet voice.

Honestly it was so annoying.

I wanted to rip my ears off.

"So we're good? Later, peeps" Kerry said as she walked out of school.

"Okay, she is definitely a Perry" Chase said causing me and Bree to nod.

"Yeah, but as always our Luna scared her" Bree giggled and I smirked.

"What can I say? It's what I do best" I said.

A Few Hours Later

A few hours passed and Kerry had came back but only to get her homework from Bree and Chase.

I held Chase's hand as he was giving Kerry her homework.

"Math homework, chemistry homework, history homework" Chase said in annoyance as he handed Kerry her homework assignments.

"And, here's your art project. Don't expect an A" Bree said.

"Don't expect a thank you" Kerry said in annoyance.

"Now give me twenty bucks" Kerry demanded me and Bree.

"For what?" I asked.

"Milkshakes for me and my girls" Kerry said.

"Yeah, I'm not giving you anything. Nice try brat" I said with a smirk.

She glared at me but I glared back at her, causing her to flinch and look away.

She then stole money from Bree's purse, "fork it over, princess!" Kerry said.

"What?" Bree asked in shock as Chase chuckled.

"You just got a shakedown by a pre-teen!" Chase grinned.

"I'm thirteen, bum-sweat!" Kerry snapped at him.

"Were you raised by a gang of bikers?" I asked in annoyance.

Soon we saw Pirincipal Perry walking back in and Bree let out a frustrated groan.

"That's it. We are done with this" Bree said in anger as she grabbed Chase's arm and dragged him with her with me following behind.

"Principal Perry, we need to have a little discussion about your niece" Bree said.

"We sure do. She loves you three" Principal Perry smiled.

"What?! That's impossible" Chase said in shock.

"I know. I find you repulsive" Principal Perry said and I rolled my eyes at her.

"Thanks for watching Kerry. This morning, I got to spend an extra hour at the dog track!" Principal Perry grinned.

"Okay, that's great. But we--" Bree started but was cut off.

"So now I need you to watch her tonight. I'm playing flag football with the sheriffs" Principal Perry said.

"And how do you get to play flag football with the sheriffs?" I asked.

"Go to enough highway wrecks with free pizza and they'll let you in" Principal Perry said and I just nodded.

"Anyway, if you watch Kerry, I might just forget about the detention days you you've accrued" Principal Perry said.

"What detention days?" Bree asked.

"You mouthin' off? You just got detention!" Principal perry said.

"What?! You can't do that!" Bree yelled in annoyance.

"Just did, Sally sideburns!" Principal Perry said back.

"That is it. We are done watch--" Bree started but Chase cut her off.

"Can you just give us one second please?" Chase asked.

He grabbed her arm and dragged her away while I just followed.

"Look, okay. The girl is a nightmare but if we do this, we might get on Principal Perry's good side" Chase said and I looked at him weirdly.

"Bubba, the woman has many sides. None of them are good" I said and Bree nodded.

Chase rolled his eyes at me while turning back to Bree and gave her the 'come on' face.

Bree sighed and nodded, "fine, I'll do it" Bree said.

We soon walked back over to Principal Perry and Kerry.

"We've discussed it, and Kerry is more than welcome to come over tonight" Chase said and Bree nodded.

"There you go again—acting like you have a choice" Principal Perry laughed.

"If I had the choice to hit you in the face with a frying pan I'd gladly take that chance" I muttered under my breath.

Bree had walked away while Principal Perry walked away to her office with Kerry following behind her.

I smirked as I turned to Chase who looked confused as to why I was smirking.

Before he could speak I grabbed the collar of his shirt and smashed his lips onto mine.

He was surprised at first but soon he started kissing back.

Soon the kiss started getting more heated as we started walking.

I gained control before Chase could and pushed him up against the lockers and continued kissing him.

I ran my hands through his hair and tugged it, earning a moan from him.

Before I knew it Chase gained back control and moved our positions so now I was pinned to the lockers.

I let out a small groan but we didn't stop kissing.

I moaned when he had deepened the kiss and he smirked.

Soon we pulled away and started panting.

We looked at each other and smiled as we pressed our foreheads against each others.

"I love you" Chase said.

"I love you too" I said with a smile.

He kissed me forehead before wrapping one arm around my shoulder as we walked away to head to our last few classes for the day.

After School
Back At Home

Soon me, Bree and Chase arrived home waiting for Principal Perry to drop off her devil of a niece.

Once Kerry was here she put on her sweet innocent act and waved at Principal Perry.

"Bye, aunt Terry! Love you!" Kerry yelled as the car drove off.

Once she was gone she closed the door and groaned in annoyance.

"Ohh. Her car is disgusting. I don't know where the kitty litter ends and the cookie crumbs begin!" Kerry said in annoyance.

"All right, Kerry. You're on our turf now. So we're not gonna put off with you bossing us around" Bree said trying to be tough.

"I'm not staying with you two losers. I'm going to the skate park to throw marbles in the half pipe and then sell ice packs in the parking lot" Kerry scoffed.

"That is pure evil" Chase said.

"You call it evil? I call it a lucrative side business" Kerry shrugged.

Soon we heard a car honk and Kerry smiled.

"Oh, my taxi's here. Don't wait up. Ha ha ha" Kerry laughed.

"Please, stay at the skate park all you want. We don't want a demon little girl like you here in our home" I mocked.

Bree and Chase snorted while she glared at me before leaving the house.

"Aren't you gonna go after her?" Bree asked Chase.

"Aren't you gonna go after her?" Chase shot back at her.

"Fine, we'll both go" Bree said.

Right as they were about to leave Leo rushed into the living room looking really worried.

"Hey. Hey, guys! Um... we have a serious problem with Adam" Leo said.

"You'll have to be more specific" I said and Chase nodded.

"Yes. There are five of him" Leo said and I furrowed my eyebrows at him in confusion.

"What are you talking about?" Bree asked.

"We made duplicates" Leo said.

"What?" Chase asked.

Before Leo could say anything else Adam walked in.

"Hey, guys" Adam said with a smile.

"Adam, what are you doing up here? You're supposed to be downstairs watching the other Adams" Leo said.

"Hello? They're our guests. It would be rude not to offer them drinks" Adam scoffed.

"'Two waters, 1 OJ, an one berry-infused decaf green tea, soy milk on the side'. One of me is very high-maintenance" Adam chuckled.

In The Lab

Soon we all went down to the lab to see what Leo was talking about.

Once we got there mine, Bree's and Chase's eyes widened in shock by what we were seeing.

"More Adams? We will never be able to air this place out" Bree said and I nodded.

"See, guys? There's nothing to worry about. They're all here" Adam said with a smile.

"I thought you said there were four duplicates" I said.

"Yeah, one, two, three..." Adam said while pointing to his three duplicates and then points at himself.

"Four. Uh oh" Adam said in realization.

"Just go track down the missing Adam. I'll keep an eye on them and find a way to reverse the duplication process" Chase said.

Adam and Bree nodded as they ran out of the lab while me, Chase and Leo stayed.

"Where's the duplicator?" Chase asked.

"Well, there's a shard of it underneath your shoes" Leo said.

We all looked down and saw that the duplicator was completely destroyed.

"You broke the duplicator!?" Chase asked in shock.

"Hey, that thing was squirting out an Adam every ten seconds. What did you want me to do?" Leo asked.

"Just go find the missing Adam!" Chase yelled.

Leo nodded as he ran out of the lab.

"Um, we were told there would be beverages" one of the duplicate Adam's said.

Me and Chase sighed in annoyance.

This was going to be a long day.

A Few Hours Later

A few hours had passed and Chase managed to make a device that would get rid of the duplicates.

Once he was done with the three duplicates in the lab we made it back upstairs.

"Do you really think that your duplicate would be hiding under the cushions?" Chase asked as Adam looking under the cushions.

"Oh, he's definitely been there. My couch cookies are gone" Adam said.

"That's just weird" I said.

"I figured out how to get rid of the duplicates. When an electrical current flows through them, they vaporize. I already used this to zap three of them downstairs" Chase said and Adam nodded.

"Now, we just have to find the one last Adam that got away" I said with a small smile.

Soon Bree walked in with the last duplicate Adam.

"Found him" Bree said and I sighed in relief.

However, Leo had walked in as well and to our surprise he had another duplicate Adam with him as well.

"Found him" Leo said.

"Uh...what's going on?" I asked.

"I don't know. There was only supposed to be one Adam left" Chase said.

"Hi, everyone... those guys look just like us, you're wearing what I'm wearing....." all the duplicate Adams said together.

Soon we all looked into the kitchen and our eyes widened in shock when we saw 15 more Adams.

"No. No. I cannot handle this many Adams. The WORLD cannot handle this many Adams. This is Armageddon!" Bree yelled.

"This is an absolute nightmare!" I yelled as well.

"It doesn't make any sense. If there's one thing I'm good at, it's breaking things and I definitely broke that duplicator" Leo said.

Soon Eddy appeared and we all turned to look at him.

"Well, did I not mention that the duplicates can multiply on their own? They just had to learn how. And guess what, I taught them" Eddy laughed.

"Edds, really?" I asked him in slight annoyance and disbelief.

Soon Eddy disappeared and we all heard a knock at the door.

"Yoo-hoo. Anybody home?" Principal Perry asked.

"Guys, that's Principal Perry" Chase said.

"Great. So now there are eighteen Adams walking around and no Kerry" Bree said in frustration.

"Shhh. Let's just pretend we're not here" Chase said and we all nodded.

"I heard that. You don't think my parents tried that on me at Christmas?" Principal Perry asked.

"Kerry? Are you okay?" Principal Perry asked as she continued knocking on the door.

"Open up!" Principal Perry yelled.

"Everything's fine! We just need a second" Chase yelled.

"Listen up, little pigs: I've got a welding torch and a battering ram in my trunk. This could go easy or this could go hard" Principal Perry said.

Chase quickly zapped all 17 Adams and I sighed in relief until I realized something.

"That's only seventeen. There's one left. Where is he?" I asked.

"I don't know" Bree said.

"LOOK OUT BELOOOOOOW!" Principal Perry shouted and before we knew it she came down the chimney and was covered in dust.

"Did you just shimmy down the chimney?" Leo asked.

"It's okay. I'm a professional. Used to be a chimneysweep back in the nineties. I learned the hard way not to wear a skirt" Principal Perry said and I shuddered in disgust.

'I never ever want to see that woman wearing a skirt, ever' I thought.

"Now, where's my niece?" Principal Perry asked.

"Uh, she's just getting her things together. She'll be out any minute" Bree said nervously.

Soon duplicate Adam came out and stood next to Adam and waved at us with a smile.

"Hey, guys" Duplicate Adam said.

"Adam?!" Chase yelled.

"What's going on?" Principal Perry asked as she turned around and was met by both Adams.

"Why are there two of you?" Principal Perry asked.

"You must've got some soot on your glasses" Chase said and I nodded.

"Oh yeah, yes you did. Let's get those cleaned right off" Leo said as he took off her glasses.

"Hey! Maybe, we can have a snack. Would you like a celery stick?" Leo asked.

"What do you think? Point me to your premium meats" Principal Perry said as Leo took her to the kitchen.

"Hurry up and zap them" I said.

"All right. Which one of you is the real Adam?" Chase asked.

"I am" both Adams said.

"What are you waiting for? Just zap 'em both" Bree said but Chase shook his head.

"I can't. If I zap the real Adam, the jolt of electricity will fry his bionic infrastructure" Chase said,

"Bubba, you gotta zap one of 'em" I said and Bree nodded.

"May the best Adam win" one of the Adams said.

"Good luck, bro" the other Adam said.

They both went to do a handshake but then turned away from each other.

"Hurry up before Perry sees!" Bree said in annoyance.

"Your tartar sauce is expired! Can I have it?" Principal Perry asked and I gave her a disgusted look.

"I think you're good" Leo nodded.

"All right, whichever of you is the real Adam, show me what you've got" Chase said.

"You asked for it" the real Adam said.

He walked over to Chase and picked him up.

"Wait. No—no! No! No! No!" Chase said but Adam ignored him and threw him across the room.

"Aaah!" Chase yelled.

Bree quickly grabbed the device and zapped the duplicate Adam with it.

"Bye bye" duplicate Adam waved before he was gone.

I quickly ran over to Chase and helped him up as we all quickly ran back into the living room.

"Uh, remember, next time I come over, I like my salami spicy" Principal Perry said as she took her glasses back from Leo and walked over to us.

"Now, where is Kerry?" Principal Perry asked.

We all looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

Before I could open my mouth to speak the door opened and we all turned around to see Kerry entering the house.

"Kerry!" Principal Perry yelled as she walked over to her.

"Aunt Terry! You're here! I was just taking a stroll on their lovely grounds, and... I must have gotten lost" Kerry said in her fake sweet voice.

"So, you're okay?" Principal Perry asked and Kerry nodded.

"Okay? These two have been wonderful to me. I'm just sad I'm not gonna get to hang with them anymore" Kerry said in fake sadness.

'Thank goodness' I thought.

"Well, then I have some good news. I'm enrolling you at Mission Creek so then you'll get to spend every day with... Steee... and Duu...." Principal Perry said as she tried saying their names again.

"Bree and Chase!" Bree yelled in annoyance.

"Yeah, I still don't care" Principal Perry said while laughing.

At Night
In The Living Room

After Principal Perry and her evil niece left we all decided to watch a movie and order pizza.

We we all in the living room sitting on the couch watching the movie while waiting for the pizza to arrive.

Chase had his arms wrapped around me while I snuggled closer to him.

Soon the doorbell rang.

"Oh, pizza's here. I'll get it" Adam said and we all nodded.

He opened the door and my eyes widened in shock when I saw that the pizza guy looked like Adam.

"One large pepperoni for Adam" the duplicate Adam said.

"Thank you very much, Adam" Adam said as he took the pizza from him and closed the door and walked back over to us.

"That's so weird. That pizza guy looked just like me" Adam said with a smile before his eyes widened.

"Uh-oh" Adam said in realization.

"Oh boy. Yup" Bree nodded.

"I'll grab the zapper" Chase said as he got off the couch and ran down to the lab while me, Bree and Leo ran out of the house to catch up with the duplicate Adam.

I swear today was crazy.
