vii. adam up

——

Freya was in the lab with Leo and they were monitoring Adam, Bree, and Chase on their virtual mission simulator. Freya was told Leo got to use it for his birthday and now she really wants to use it. Her birthday is in a few weeks and she knows she will kick their virtual butts if she was given the chance.

"Great job, guys. You just took out an entire unit of virtual cyborgs." Leo smiled as the bionics finished their virtual mission. Chase and Bree leaned against the cyber desk, resting and Adam took a towel, putting it around his neck.

Eddie appeared on his screen. "I think it's sad you have to invent people to play with you."

"I think it's sad that you exist," Freya shot back.

"All right, Leo and Freya, I'm off the clock. Let's get out of here." Adam went to leave with Leo and Freya, but Chase stopped them.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa. Just cause Mr. Davenport's away doesn't mean we stop training." Chase objected, going up to them.

Adam, Freya, and Leo groaned.

"How do you think I feel? I'm missing a four-hour documentary on the history of the printing press." Chase shrugged and Freya raised her eyebrow at him.

"I'm struggling to find your definitions of fun." Freya remarked.

"But Leo, Freya, and I were gonna play human bull's-eye bounce." Adam objected and Freya nodded with grin.

"Don't worry, it's way more dangerous than it sounds." Freya assured them.

"Human bull's eye bounce?" Chase questioned and looked at Adam. "Is there any way you could get a good enough bounce to land you in the emergency room cause that would save us a lot of time."

"Nope, he's right, Adam." Bree agreed. "As much as I enjoy watching you get hurt." Bree laughed. "And I really do. We have to train."

"Oh, come on. The adults are away!" Leo protested. "It we don't take advantage by doing something destructive, we're no better than." Leo looked Chase up and down with a frown. "Chase."

"I'm sorry, but unless he can be in two places at once, he's training." Chase ordered and Freya rolled her eyes.

"Fun killer," Freya muttered and Chase gave her a look.

"Excuse me?"

"You heard me," Freya smirked and Chase rolled his eyes.

"Come on, let's get the Bo staffs." Chase told the two.

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

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

"Aw, thanks, Bree. I knew you'd understand." Adam smiled and Chase and Bree walked aww.

Adam sighs sadly. "Sorry, guys."

"Too bad you can't be in two places at once." Freya shrugged.

"Well, now he can!" Eddie called. "Cause it's time to play... Eddie's will it or will it not blow up in your face?" The three looked at Eddie's screen as different images showed up. "A riding mower... A set of barbecue utensils... Or a cellular duplicator!"

"Ooh! I really want to ride something on grass!
But I do love the grill." Adam told the two and Leo, him, and Freya huddled together to make the decision. It took Freya hitting Adam on the head to agree with her and Leo.

"Eddie." Leo smiled as the three turned to Eddie. "We're gonna go with... the cellular duplicator!"

The three high fived and Eddie made a 'ding ding' sound. "Good choice! This lovely state-of-the-art device scans human DNA and create a life-like double using synthetic bioplasma!"

"Too complicated." Adam frowned and looked at the two. "Go for the riding mower."

"No." Freya objected. "This is how we can make two of you. It makes a non-human twin out of a human."

"That's right. But be careful it's not fully tested, so there's a small chance it could go horribly wrong," Eddie warned.

"Then why are you telling us to use it?" Leo asked Eddie."

"There's a small chance it could go horribly wrong." Eddie repeated and Freya shrugged at his reasoning.

"Fair enough."

"I'll give it a shot. Where is it?" Adam asked

"I'll give you a hint!" Eddie smiled.

Ding!

The three looked over to see the cellular duplicator being lit up by a light. The three walked over to it.

"How's it work?" Leo asked.

"It just needs a sample of your DNA." Eddie explained.

"Ooh! I got this." Adam spit into the machine. Freya groaned with disgust.

"Ya know, you coulda just put a hair in there, right?" Freya questioned.

"Eww. That'd be gross." Adam frowned. A small blob formed and fell on the floor. The three watched as the blob slowly grew bigger and bigger.

"Aw, look! It has my eyes." Adam smiled.

"Yes, I totally see it," Freya nodded with a confused frown. The blob eventually grew into another Adam and they looked at one another

"Whoa!" Adam gasped.

"Awesome!" Leo and Freya smiled.

Adam put his hand up and the other Adam copied him. Then did the same thing with his other hand. Adam turned around and the other Adam copied him. Both Adam's began to shake their butts vigorously and Freya looked at them in horror.

Leo and Freya shared a look.

"This may have been a big mistake." Freya mentioned and Leo nodded.

——

Chase walked into the lab with Bree and both were holding Bo staffs. Adam was sitting on the cyber desk.

"All right, break's over. Fire up the simulator." Chase instructed Adam. "Adam, please remember: The cyborgs are fake, but I am real."

"Just one question: Is this real?" Adam asked and hit Chase with the bo staff.

"Ow!" Chase yelled. "Why did you do that?!"

"Because real pain's funnier than fake pain." Adam mentioned and hit Chase again, but harder."

"Ahhh!" Chase cried, holding his back and Bree laughed.

"You're a genius?" Bree scoffed. "Even I saw that coming."

Adam chuckled and gave Bree a high five.

Upstairs, the real Adam was watching this scene with Freya and Leo on Eddie's screen.

"This is great." Freya laughed. "They're totally
buying duplicate you."

"I know!" Adam smiled. "The only thing more fun than hitting chase is watching me hit chase."

"Let the human bull's eye bounce begin!" Leo declared

"Whoo!" Adam and Freya cheered, high fiving Leo.

"Okay. It's as easy as it looks. Jump as high as you can and try and land in one of the point circles." Adam explained. In front of them was a mini trampoline and three different targets on the floor to land on with different scores on them.

"Cool. It's just like being at a real carnival." Leo smiled

"I know. I even covered the floor with popcorn and mystery goo." Adam remarked. Freya and Leo looked down and they were standing on the popcorn and mystery goo.

Freya frowned in disgust, lifting her foot.

"Lovely," she grinned.

"Thanks." Leo sarcastically remarked.

"I'll go first." Adam said and got on the trampoline. He started to bounce up and down. "The key is to get a lot of bounce and then worry about accuracy."

"Oh, just hurry up and get hurt!" Eddie complained.

Freya picked some mystery goo off her shoe and flicked it at Eddie.

"Hey! My screen!" Eddie cried.

"Whoa!!!!" Adam yelled as he bounced into the air and crashed through the wall. Leo and Freya ran over to him with worry.

Adam coughed up some rumble. "Quick! Get me down from here!" He then smiled. "I've gotta do that again!"

Freya and Leo laughed and ran over to get Adam down from the ceiling.

——

~The Next Day~

Chase, Freya, and Bree were talking in the hallway when Perry approached them.

"Hey, Hansel, Gretel, and Goldilocks!" Perry greeted. "My niece is visiting from... um... wherever she lives, and I'm gonna assign you three to be chaperones for a couple of days."

The three attempted to make up excuses.

"We are sorry..." Bree trailed off

"Cause we gotta be..." Chase began

"I really don't want to." Freya rolled her eyes.

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

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

"Oh! You've noticed!" Perry smiled, touching her heart.

"Feeling is mutual," Freya grinned.

"Look, my niece is sweet and innocent. If she hangs around the cool kids, they'll corrupt her," Perry explained. "That's why she's hanging with you."

"If it's unclear, let me spell it out." Perry continued and pointed at each of them. "You're. Not. Cool."

"Good to know. Thanks," Freya sarcastically replied. "I could ask Juliet and she will definitely help."

"Mmmm! I wouldn't be so sure about that," Perry shrugged and Juliet walked out of the gym. "Red!"

Juliet looked up and walked over to them. "What did I do now?"

"Your little sister here is asking you to help chaperone my niece," Perry told her and Freya smiled up at her sister.

Juliette blinked and shook her head. "No." She patted her sister's shoulder. "I love you." She whispered into her ear. "But I can't stand her niece."

Juliet waved to them as she walked off, leaving Freya there with a shocked expression.

"Juliet!" She cried and Perry laughed at this.

"I told you!"

A small girl with glasses and brown hair with bangs walked up to them. "Hi Aunt Terry!"

"Kerry! Darling! This is..." Perry trailed off, trying to remember Chase, Bree, and Freya's names. "Gimme a second...Kevvvinn... Suzzzzzannnn...Belllaaaaa???"

"Bree, Chase, and Freya," Bree smiled.

Perry giggled. "No one really cares."

"Nice to meet you. I'm Kerry Perry," Kerry kindly greeted and shook each of their hands. "Thanks for showing me around. I hope it's not to much of a bother."

Freya wiped her hand on her pants after shaking Kerry's hand. She's still a Perry and Freya doesn't want to touch a Perry.

"No, no, we are happy to be forced to help," Freya forcefully smiled at Perry.

"Great! Now if you'll excuse me, I'm headed to the chem lab to sear off a wart," Perry told them, showing them her hand.

Freya leaned back in disgust and groaned.

Perry left and Kerry waved at her sweetly.

"Bye Aunt Terry!" She giggled and Freya wasn't buying her sweet and innocent act.

Kerry turned to the three with a glare. "Here's the deal ladies."

"Knew it," Freya mumbled.

"I'm skipping school and hitting the mall," Kerry told them. "And when I get there, I'm gonna put a dead fly in my burrito and eat for free."

"I'm sorry, but as your chaperone-"

"Shut it, Squat-mug!" Kerry snapped at Chase and Freya glared at her.

"Little elves called. They want you back at the tree to make cookies," Kerry smirked and Freya stepped forward, frowning.

"Listen, you can't talk to us like that," Freya demanded, bending down to her level.

Kerry scoffed. "I just did, small boobs!"

Freya gasped, covering her chest with red cheeks. Chase pressed his lips together, trying to surprise a chuckle.

"Excuse me, you can't-"

"Can it, boy hips!" Kerry cut off Bree and Bree gasped.

"I'm outta here." Kerry laughed and started to walk away.

"You can't just go," Chase objected.

"Yeah, what are we supposed to tell your aunt?" Bree asked Kerry. "Besides the fact that she should round up some bail money."

"I will get Juliet Monroe here," Freya threatened and Kerry knocked her books out of her hands.

"Do not call your sister!" Kerry snapped. "Last time she "took care" of me, she made me eat a giant bowl of frozen peas for disobeying her."

"You probably deserved it," Freya scoffed and Bree and Chase chuckled.

"So, you will tell my aunt I was with your three nimrods all day and you better do my homework," Kerry threatened. "Or else you'll get this." Kerry turned away and pretended to cry out. "Aunt Terry! They were so mean to me! Make them pay! Make them... pay!" Kerry gave them a smile. "So. We good? Later peeps."

Kerry walked out and Freya pretended to strangle her from a distance.

"I just want to kill..." Freya gritted through her teeth.

"Okay, she is definitely a Perry." Chase mentioned and the two nodded.

——

~Later~

"Math homework. Chemistry homework. History homework." Chase handed Kerry her homework with an irritated look.

"Biology homework," Freya handed Kerry the homework. "Don't expect anything better than a B."

Freya purposely got some wrong. Be lucky if Kerry even got a C+.

"And here's your art project," Bree gave Kerry a folded up poster. "Don't expect an A."

"Don't expect a "thank you.'" Kerry rudely replied and Freya rolled her eyes. "Now give me 20 bucks."

"For what?" Freya asked, glaring at her.

"Milkshakes for a me and my girls!" Kerry frowned. "Fork it over, Thumbelina!"

Kerry reached for Freya's bag, but she grabbed her wrist.

"I wouldn't do that, shortstack." Freya warned.

"You don't scare me," Kerry replied and Freya squeezed her wrist tightly. "Ouch! Let go!"

Freya let Kerry's wrist go and Kerry glared at her, before snatching money from Bree's purse.

"Hey!" Bree gasped.

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

"I'm thirteen, Bum-Sweat!" Kerry yelled and Chase's smiled dropped.

"One tiny thirteen year old," Freya chuckled and Bree and Chase snickered.

"Shut it, Bleach head!" Kerry snapped and Freya pretended to be scared by her words.

"Were you raised by a gang of bikers?" Chased asked her.

Principal Perry walked out of the gym and Bree turned to her brother and Freya.

"That's it! We are done with this." Bree walked up to Perry with Chase and Freya. "Principal Perry, we need to have a little discussion about your niece."

"We sure do. She loves you three," Perry happily smiled.

"What?" Chase frowned. "That's impossible."

"I know." Perry made a face of revulsion. "I find you repulsive. Thanks for watching Kerry. This morning I got to spend an extra hour at the dog track."

"Cool! Great! But we-" Freya tried to speak, but Perry cut her off.

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

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

Perry shrugged. "Go to enough highway wrecks with free pizza and they let you in. Anyway, if you help out with Kerry, I might just forget about the detention days you've accrued."

"What detention days?" Bree asked.

"I was talking about Monroe here," Perry pointed and Freya nodded with a grin.

"I have too many to count."

"Keep talking and you'll get another, Sally Sideburns!" Perry warned.

"Oh no, what will I ever do?" Freya gasped in fake horror and Chase chuckled softly.

"Okay, we are done watching-"

"Can you just give us one second, please?" Chase interrupted Bree and Perry nodded.

Chase pulled the girls away from Perry. "Look, okay, the girl is a nightmare, but if we do this we might just get on Principal Perry's good side."

"The woman has many sides. None of them are good," Bree reasoned. She looked at Chase and groaned. "Fine. I'll do it.

Chase and Bree looked at Freya, who was confused.

"What? I don't live with you guys. Which means, I don't have to deal with that little twerp anymore. Bye!" Freya waved and Chase grabbed her arm, pulling her back.

"No!" Chase objected snd Freya groaned loudly.

"Why?"

"You started this mess with us. We will end it together," Bree answered.

"You sound like we are gonna kill her," Freya said and then shrugged. "Which I might do."

The three went back to Perry, who was pushing against the water fountain and grunting.

"Ohh," Chase mumbled revolted and Perry turned to them, standing up straight. "We've discussed it. Kerry is more than welcome to come over tonight."

"She's 'allowed to' is a better saying," Freya pointed out and Chase pinched her elbow. "Ow..."

"There you go again. Acting like you have a choice," Perry laughed with a smile and squeezed Chase's cheek. Perry turned back to the water fountain and started to push on it. She grunted as she felt the stretch and the three recoiled in disgust.

——

~Davenport House~

Freya stood in the doorway with Chase and Bree. Kerry waved to her aunt from the door with a sweet smile.

"Bye, Aunt Terry! Love you!" Kerry giggled and Perry drove away. Kerry walked into the house and groaned. "Her car is disgusting! I don't know where the kitty litter ends and the cookie crumbs begin."

"All right, Kerry." Bree looked at Kerry. "You're on our turf now, so we're not gonna put up with you bossing us around."

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

Freya laughed. "That's pretty funny."

Chase and Bree gave her a look and Freya cleared her throat, shaking her head. "That's pure evil."

"You call it evil, I call it a lucrative side business." Kerry remarked and her phone beeped. "Oh, my taxi's here don't wait up." Kerry laughed as she walked out the door.

"Aren't one of you gonna go after her?" Bree asked Chase and Freya.

Chase raised his eyebrow at Bree in confusion. "Aren't you gonna go after her?

"Fine. We'll all go," Bree sighed.

"Not me," Freya chuckled and sat on the couch. "Have fun chasing mini Perry around."

Leo ran into the room in a panic. "Hey! Hey, guys! Um, we have a serious problem with Adam."

"You'll have to be more specific," Chase grinned and Freya stood up, facing Leo.

"Yes. There are five of him," Leo told them and Freya's eyes grew, remembering the Celluer Duplicator.

"Oh no," Freya said.

"What are you talking about?" Bree asked.

"Leo and Adam made duplicates," Freya informed them.

"What?" Chase asked in shock.

"You were there," Leo protested, hitting Freya's arm.

"What?!" Bree and Chase asked.

"I was there for one duplicate," Freya objected. "The other ones are all on you and Adam."

Adam walked into the room. "Hey guys."

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

"Hello? They're our guests. It would be rude not to offer them drinks." Adam frowned with a shrug and looked at the order in his hand. "Two waters, One O.J., and one berry-infused decaf green tea, soy milk on the side."

The three stood there in confusion as Adam read the last one. Adam looked at them. "One of me is very high-maintenance."

They all went down to the lab and saw only three Adams.

"More Adams?" Freya asked in shock. "We will never be able to air this place out."

"See, guys? There's nothing to worry about, they're all here," Adam assured them.

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

"Yeah. One, two, three, four-" Adam counted only three Adams and then himself. "Uh-oh."

Chase got irritated. "Just go track down the missing Adam. I'll keep an eye on them and find a way to reverse the duplication process. Where's the duplicator?"

Leo glanced down at Chase's foot. "There's a shard of it underneath your shoe."

Chase looked down in a panic and looked at Leo in shock. "You broke the duplicator?"

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

"I understand that," Freya nodded.

"Just go find the missing Adam," Chase ordered them, keeping his anger down and the four went upstairs leaving Chase alone with the Adams.

——

Freya was upstairs, searching in the plants around the house and Chase went up to her.

"Freya, you really think Adam's duplicate would be hiding in a plant?" Chase asked her, folding his arms.

Freya turned to him with a blank stare. "It's Adam."

Chase thought for a moment and shrugged. "Fair enough."

The two walked into the living room to find Adam searching underneath the couch cushions.

"My couch cookies are gone. I've been here," Adam said walking up to them.

"I figured out how to get rid of the duplicates. When an electrical current flows through them, they vaporize," Chase explained and showed them a zapping device. "I already used this to zap three of them downstairs. Now we just have to find the one last Adam that got away."

Freya and Adam nodded and the three started to search the house.

Bree pushed an Adam out of a room. "Found him!"

Leo walked through the front door with an Adam. "Found him."

Everyone stood there in shock at the two other Adams. A duplicate Adam smiled, but it faded when Chase spoke.

"Guys, what is going on?" Chase asked. "There was only supposed to be one Adam left."

The elevator dinged and everyone slowly turned to see a bunch of Adams standing in the kitchen.

Freya stared at this in horror as she listened to all them speak. "It's my worst nightmare."

"No. No. I cannot handle this many Adams." Bree laughed in disbelief. "The world cannot handle this many Adams. This is Armageddon."

"It's Adamgeddon," Freya corrected and real Adam chuckled.

"Nice."

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

Eddie appeared on the screen. "Oh, did I not mention that the duplicates can multiply on their own?" Freya rolled her eyes at Eddie. "They just had to learn how. And guess what? I taught them!"

Freya groaned, wanting to attack, but Adam and Chase stopped her.

"It's a screen, you can't hurt him," Chase told Freya, letting her arm go.

Knock knock!

"Yoo-hoo! Anybody home?" Perry called from outside the door and the five panicked.

"Guys! That's Principal Perry!" Chase muttered to them.

"Great, so now there are eighteen Adams walking around, and no Kerry," Bree mentioned and Chase shushed her.

"Let's just pretend we're not here," Freya suggested in a hushed voice. "Works for me in Math class all the time."

"I heard that, Monroe," Perry said and Freya cringed, smacking her forehead. "You don't think my parents tried that on me at Christmas."

Chase went up to the door as Perry continued. "Kerry? Are you okay?" She banged on the door. "Open up!"

"Everything's fine! We just need a second," Chase told her.

"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," Perry warned and Chase ran over to the other Adams.

Chase activated the zapper and zapped all the duplicate Adams in the room. Chase mentally counted how many he zapped.

"That's only seventeen. There's one left," Chase informed the others and turned to them. "Where is he?"

"I don't know," Freya shrugged along with the others.

"LOOK OUT BELOOOOOOOOW!"

The four turned to the fireplace as Perry yelled from the chimney. Freya gasped as Perry landed in the fireplace covered in ashes and soot.

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

Perry cough, standing up. "It's okay. I'm a professional. Used to be a chimney sweep back in the nineties. Learned the hard way not to wear a skirt."

"I find it hard to believe you ever owned a skirt," Freya mentioned with a frown.

"Now... where's niece?" Perry asked.

Freya scoffed. "I don't care."

Bree hit her arm and went up to Perry. "What Freya means is, she's just getting her things together. She'll be out any minute."

Duplicate Adam walked up to them. "Hey, guys".

Chase glanced at him. "Hey Adam." He did a double take and freaked out. "Adam!"

"Oh no," Freya said at the sight.

"What's going on? Why are there two of you?" Perry asked, looking at the two Adams.

"You must have got some soot on your glasses," Chase told her.

"Yes. Leo, go help her," Freya pushed Leo toward Perry and he gave her a glare.

"Let's get those cleaned right off," Leo suggested and took Perry's glasses, leading her to the kitchen. "Oh. Maybe we can have a snack." He opened the fridge. "Would you like a celery stick?"

"What do you think? Point me to your premium meats," Perry remarked and Leo distracted her with the food in the fridge.

"Hurry up and zap them," Bree rushed Chase, who turned to the two Adams.

"Alright, which one of you is the real Adam?" Chase asked the Adams.

"I am." They both replied and Freya sighed.

"Zap them both or else I will," Freya warned, reaching for the zapped. Chase hit her hand away and she frowned, rubbing her wrist.

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

Bree scoffed. "You gotta zap one of them."

"I will gladly zap both," Freya offered and Chase activated the zapper.

Both Adams faced each other.

"May the best Adam win," First Adam said.

"Good luck, bro," Second Adam said and they went for a handshake, but combed their hair instead.

"Oh!"

"Hurry up before Perry sees!" Bree muttered to Chase.

From the fridge, Perry was nose deep in there and was holding tartar sauce.

"Your tartar sauce is expired! Can I have it?" Perry asked.

Leo looked at the others. "I think you're good."

"Who just rummages through someone else's fridge?" Freya asked in disbelief.

"You," Chase said and she pointed a finger at him.

"Hey! I only do it for bacon!" She objected.

Chase looked at the Adam. "Alright, whichever one of you is the real Adam. Show me what you got."

Chase handed Freya the zapper and the real Adam shrugged.

"You asked for it." Adam grabbed Chase and picked him up.

"What! No!" Chase cried as Adam threw him down the hall.

Freya laughed and zapped the other Adam, already knowing who the real Adam was.

"Bye-bye!" Duplicate Adam said as he got zapped away.

Chase stumbled into the room and sighed with relief when he saw the duplicate Adam was gone.

Chase gave Adam a look and Adam shrugged.

"Don't be mad, you did ask for it," Freya told Chase, who rolled his eyes.

Perry stepped out of the fridge with bacon in her hands. "Uh, remember, next time I come over, I like my bacon spicy."

"Not my bacon!" Freya cried in agony and went to attack, but Adam grabbed her, holding her. "Let me at her!"

"Calm down, Thumbelina," Perry scoffed. "It's the bad kind anyway."

"How dare you," Freya gasped and Adam let her down as Perry put her glasses on. Freya went over to the bacon and held in. "Mine!"

Leo backed away in caution, knowing how aggressive Freya can be with bacon.

"Okay, where is Kerry?" Perry asked.

Freya didn't bother trying, cause she didn't care anymore. Nor did she ever.

Bree and Chase attempted to make excuses for why Kerry wasn't here.

"Uh... Kerry..."

"See, the thing is-"

Just then, Juliet walked in with a scared Kerry. Freya eyes grew at the sight of her sister.

"Kerry!" Perry said with relief and then saw Juliet. "What are doing with Juliet?"

"Oh Principal Perry, Kerry was just taking a stroll on their lovely ground and she got lost," Juliet smiled at her and Kerry nodded with fear in her eyes. "Right, Kerry?"

"Yes, that's exactly what happened," Kerry nodded as Freya went over to them now curious. "I got lost and Juliet helped me."

"So, you're okay?" Perry asked her and Juliet winked at her sister briefly.

"Well, I'm-" Juliet hit Kerry's back and she smiled forcefully. "Oh, these three have been..." Kerry went to Chase, Freya, and Bree and put her arms around them. "Wonderful to me. I'm just sad I won't get to hang out with them anymore."

"Well, then I have some good news, I'm enrolling you at Mission Creek."

Juliet dropped her phone to the floor in shock. "What?"

"So, then you'll get to spend every day with..." Perry paused to guess the name again. "Stev.... Monic..... and duuu..."

The three rolled their eyes at Perry.

"Bree, Chase, and Freya!" Bree groaned.

Perry laughed. "I still don't care." She then turned to Juliet and sighed. "Thanks for helping my niece. You aren't so bad after all."

"She's the sweetest," Juliet chuckled forcefully. "She loves me."

"I totally do!" Kerry laughed nervously. "We should go, Aunt Terry. It's been quite a day."

Kerry basically pulled Perry to the door. Juliet waved with a smirk as door shut and turned to the three.

Adam waved from the kitchen with a goofy smile. "Hi, Juliet!"

Juliet waved back. "Hi, Adam."

Freya went to her sister and smiled. "Thanks for saving our butts."

Juliette shrugged. "When it comes to a Perry, I'll do it. And... she also snuck into our house and stole some clothes. So, she had it coming." Juliet smiled and Freya chuckled. "No one touches my stuff."

Freya looked away with a guilty look. She was wearing Juliet's top.

"Well, you mean almost everyone," Freya chuckled nervously, walking toward the door and waved to her friends. "I'll see you all tomorrow. Byeeeee!

Freya rushed out the door and Juliet's eyes grew in realization.

"That's my pink sweater! Get back here Freya!"

Juliet chased after her and Adam chuckled, blushing at the sight of her.

"She's so cool!"
