Ryan and Leo were looking for our father while I was with the cast of the play trying to figure out who to replace Evan with. (He'd dropped out of school))

"What about holding new auditions?" Ella suggested

"We have a week till the final performance, there's no way we could find someone to replace him in time!" I argued

"We could push it back a couple weeks." Harry suggested

"No way! The show must go on!" Juliet declared

"We need someone who knows this shit!" I said, "Hold up! I've been practicing with Spyder and Harris. And Spyder can sing, quite well I may add! I could potentially convince him!" Veracity and Juliet both nodded okaying my idea.

"Oooooooh." The rest of the room chorused

"Oh grow up!" I snapped, slung my bag over my shoulder and went to go find Spyder.

I walked into the robot and everyone was sitting on the couch.

"Spyder! Gotta be me! Brady's part! Go!" I told him quickly. He quickly started singing Brady's part and I grinned.

"Perfect! So you would say you know Brady's part well, right?" I asked.

"Yes... I'm starting to get nervous."
"Excellent. So you don't mind filling in for Brady for the school play." I told him.

"Sure- Wait WHAT!"

"Thanks, you're a lifesaver." I said, "Alright what's going on, Ryan? And what's with the satellite thing?" I asked

"Mark and Leo are Harper-proofing the place. We're rescuing dad!" He told me.

*timeskip*

"Okay, I can see the mining company's op centre! We're almost there." Harris said

"Have you two figured out what you're gonna say when you meet your dad?" Harris asked

"I figured we'd get out of there alive first. And then say 'Hi. I'm Lizzy and this is Ryan and we're your children.' Is that good?" I asked

"We can't reveal our identities! Harper's back he could go after them!" Ryan said.

"Yea, well let's just rescue him or we won't have a dad." I muttered.

"Hey do we have time to stop-" I cut Spyder off

"NO!" I snapped

"Lizzy calm down!" Harris told me.

"Calm down." I scoffed, "CaLm DoWN?! My dad could be dying inside a mine and I'm stressed as fuck. So no, Harris, I will not calm down!"
"Alright we're here!" Ryan said, trying to defuse the tension.

"I'm picking up a signal, Harris tap into the feed." I told them

"Why me?" He asked. I glared at him, he gulped and started tapping into the feed. We saw someone looking on the camera.

"It's really him." Ryan said. Then the ground under the robot shook.

"It's unstable. We have to get him out." I said.

"The mountain could collapse at any minute." Harris told us

"We have to move, now." Ryan said

"Harris, Spyder, you guys stay up here and keep it stable for as long as possible. Ryan, grab the gravity pucks, I got a bounce belt and we can go after dad and the other miners." I told everyone.

"The elevator is blocked." Harris told us

"Spyder, you're gonna need to drill us an elevator shaft. Be careful." I warned.
