Infatuation (Chase Davenport)✔︎

Death Spikette Smackdown

I sat down at the cyber desk as Mr. Davenport looked at my bionics, a hopeful look on his face.

"Alright, Vanessa. Today's the day we see if you can activate your powers without using the power pellets." He smiled as I nodded and took in a breath. I stood up, getting in my force field stance as I wave my arms in a circle, the purple cylinder appearing around me as Adam, Bree, Chase and Davenport cheered for me. I grinned and stood up as the force field disappeared.

"Great job, Dottie! You did it on your first try!" Chase praised as I nodded.

"Now I don't have to eat human dog treats!" I grinned as Mr. Davenport smiled.

"You're finally out of your training wheels!" Adam joked as we all laughed.

"Alright while I would love to stay here and keep congratulating Vanessa on this big achievement, you guys still do have school so get dressed for the day before you're late." Mr. Davenport ordered as we all got in our capsules, changing into normal clothes and headed upstairs to eat.

"Nessie! You know what today is right?" Leo asked as I took a seat next to Chase at the island, my eyes widening in horror.

"Death spiral smack down..." I whispered as Chase and Bree frowned.

"The what?" Bree asked as I cleared my throat.

"After school today is the big Death Spiral Smackdown. Me and Adam are gonna unleash the fury! You guys gonna come watch?" Leo asked as Chase smiled.

"We'd love to, but we're gonna go to the mall and check out the escalator. I finally mastered the art of stepping off without tripping." Chase praised himself as I nodded, Bree sucking in A breath.

"Ooh, um, were we supposed to do that today? Shoot, I-I can't make it. I have a really big test to study for." She lied as Chase frowned in disappointment, clearly buying the lie.

"Oh.. okay. Well I just hope I don't get my pants caught in the escalator.... again." Chase grimaced as I sighed.

"If you do I'm not buying you another pair. You already lost three to that escalator." I complained as he sighed, Leo grabbing the power pellets.

"Never had this cereal before." He said, going to put it in his mouth before I smacked it out of his hand.

"No! Those are our power pellets."

"I don't care what they're called, as long as they make my milk chocolaty." He smiled as I rolled my eyes.

"I thought you were here when Davenport explained what they are?" I asked as Leo shook his head. "They're bite-sized pieces of adrenaline that activate our bionics." I explained as Leo frowned.

"These are what you've been eating?" Leo asked as I nodded.

"Yep. Except for today. I've finally learned how to activate my bionics on my own." I grinned as Leo smiled.

"Good job, Nessie!" Leo cheered.

"They taste like dog treats without the livery aftertaste." Chase said as we frowned at him. "I'm guessing."

"Well your guess is correct. Those things are disgusting and I'm so glad I don't have to eat them anymore." I sighed as Leo closed the lid, grabbing Adam's favorite cereal.

"Well, I guess I'll just have these then." He said as I stopped him.

"Careful, Leo! Those are Powdered Sugar Cookie Donut O's. Studies have shown they slow down your brain activity." I said as Leo frowned at me.
