I'm back with Chapter Ten of Chasey's Got a Girlfriend! This story might be coming to a close…meaning it will be ending soon. Sad…:(
BUT! WAIT! THERE'S MORE! (Lol I sound like an announcer on those commercials!) Anyhoo, there might be a sequel…I said might! And if there is, it would probably be just a one-shot centered around Bree/Dustin. (Yes, it would be a one-shot centered around them as boyfriend, girlfriend! –Insert squealing here-)
There will be or is a poll up on my profile where you readers can vote for whether you want a Bree/Dustin centered one-shot story or not. It would be considered a sequel to this story or it may not and just be separate. I don't know…eh.
Anyways, let's get on with the story, huh? And Douglas…YOU BETTER BRING DUSTIN BACK OR IMMA GONNA HIT YOU WITH A FRYING PAN, YOU GOT IT?!
Douglas: You already do that now, what does it matter? And by the way, I will bring Dustin back…or I may not.
Hmm…you're right. Either way, Imma still hit you with a frying pan! –Hits Douglas repeatedly with frying pan-
TAKE THAT! AND THAT! FEEL THE PAIN! Whoops…I might have accidentally injured Douglas. Sorry Douglas…the paramedics will take good care of you I'm sure. (At least I hope!)
Enjoy Chapter Ten! :D
Chapter Ten: Resurrected
Being bionic. It was different for Rose. Sure, she's been bionic her whole life, but it wasn't until now that she discovered her abilities. It surprised her how easy it was for her to use them during the battle with Krane, but her most logical guess was that being bottled up inside of her for so long; they just burst out of her when they were finally activated.
It had now been a full week since that day. And Rose still couldn't believe of all that had happened. Discovering her bionic abilities she didn't even know she had, seeing her old boyfriend Marcus again was quite a shock, and then there was the death of her brother, Dustin.
Rose was still upset about that. She wished the fireball hit her instead of Dustin. But then again, Dustin would probably be upset too if it was the other way around. There was just no happy medium, was there?
"Hey Rose, are you doing okay?"
Rose knew that voice. It was her boyfriend, Chase.
"Oh yeah…I'm doing just peachy." She replied sarcastically.
Chase knocked on the door of her capsule. Since Rose was bionic and was now living with the Davenports, Mr. Davenport built another capsule for Rose to sleep in.
You know all that regenerative capabilities and stuff that was crucial to the bionic infrastructure of her chip. Yeah…Rose was baffled by all that and to be honest, she fell asleep in the middle of Mr. Davenport's speech about that stuff.
So yeah…Rose was super excited about sleeping in a glass box. Hooray! Note the sarcasm.
It wasn't like it was that bad. Most of the time, Rose would pretend she was in a spaceship battling evil aliens trying to take over. Yeah, that sounded weird. And then Rose would end up dreaming that she was actually in a spaceship battling evil aliens trying to take over.
It was really odd.
But Rose liked being in the lab. It was really cool and she was with her best friends and boyfriend half of the time. So it wasn't all bad. And she was also Mr. Davenport's lab assistant. Officially! Yay!
Rose's capsule was right next to Bree's. So that meant it was Adam, Chase, Bree, and then Rose.
The only person missing from that line-up was Dustin.
Rose could go on missions with Adam, Bree, and Chase. She was bionic after all and she possessed every ability they did. So why hasn't she?
Rose wasn't ready yet. Missions seemed too big of a step to take for her. It's only been a week, for goodness sakes! Sometimes, Chase or Bree or Adam or even Leo would ask Rose if she wanted to come along when there was a mission. Rose would politely say no and just wait in the lab until they came back. A couple times, Mr. Davenport would even offer to take Rose to the mission site in his high-speed helicopter so she could be a part of the mission. Rose, once again, would decline saying she wasn't ready yet and was perfectly fine with just staying in the lab and being the lab assistant. She preferred helping Mr. Davenport and Leo in the lab with computer stuff and working on new inventions than facing dangerous things on missions.
But after a while, it got a bit boring for Rose and sometimes, she wished she said yes to those previous offers and then she'd be helping her friends on missions and fighting bad guys with her bionics.
But was she really ready? Rose was still grieving over the loss of her brother. She knew if Dustin was there talking to her, he'd say to move on and go on missions and be the hero she was meant to be. But Rose didn't know yet…she just didn't know.
She just wasn't ready to move on yet. She just wasn't ready to forget her brother.
She wasn't ready to or she just didn't want to.
"Can I come in?" Chase asked.
Rose immediately snapped out of her thoughts and looked up at her boyfriend standing outside her capsule.
"I guess so." She mumbled. She was sitting on the floor of her capsule, her head in her knees. It looked like she was crying, which Rose was. She had been crying all morning.
Chase opened the capsule door and stepped inside. He crouched down next to his girlfriend and put his arm around her.
"Are you sure you're okay?" He asked again. "And don't lie to me or be sarcastic."
Rose rolled her eyes. "Fine. I'm not okay. I still miss Dustin like crazy. Why wouldn't I? I've only grown up with him for how many years! I've lived with him every second of every day! He would always be there by my side, no matter what. Even if I was in a bad mood and I told him to buzz off, he'd still be there! He was like a bug that you couldn't get rid of ever and that's what I liked most about him. He was there for me. He made promises to me ever since we were little. We'd laugh all day long, tell jokes, read stories, tell each other our most precious secrets, and then we'd have sleepovers…" Rose felt more tears roll down her cheeks.
"But…but now he's gone. And those things will never, ever happen again. Those memories are gone…forever. That bug that clung onto me for so long…the bug that I loved so much and never wanted it to go away…that bug is now dead." Rose hid her head in her knees and started crying again.
"Rose…Rose…come on Rose…"
"What?" Rose looked up at Chase.
Chase smiled and wiped Rose's tears away with his thumb.
"I know this is hard for you. But…"
"But what?" Rose interrupted. She was getting irritated obviously.
"How about we go upstairs and I can make you a snack?" Chase grinned.
Rose nodded, a small smile crossing her face. "Okay, I'm game for that. Just don't make any more of those astronaut space food pellets. Cause I vomited those up on the kitchen floor. And that was not a pretty sight!"
Chase smirked. "Yes, I know. I was there. Don't worry, I'll make something special for my little Rosey-Posey."
Rose laughed at the nickname Chase was now using. It was nice to hear that again.
Chase then opened Rose's capsule door and the two walked out and went into the elevator to get upstairs.
Next stop: the kitchen!
-Lab Rats-
Chase went into the kitchen to start making a snack for both Rose and him. Rose sat on one of the stools near the counter and just waited patiently.
"Hey kids! How's it going?" Douglas suddenly came into the room.
Chase raised his eyebrow. "Why are you in such a good mood?" He asked. "Was it half off at the diabolical maniac hair salon?"
Douglas scoffed. "No!" He paused. "It was a quarter off."
Chase ignored Douglas's comment and continued taking multiple foods out of the fridge.
"Actually, I'm here for the girl." Douglas replied.
Rose sighed. "Douglas, if you're going to try to kidnap me, don't. I'm bionic and could probably blast you out of here with the wave of my hand."
"That's not why I'm here. It's not to kidnap you. I actually have a surprise for you."
Rose frowned. "If it isn't my brother, Dustin, then I'm not interested."
"In fact, it is your brother, Dustin." Douglas announced.
"Hi Rose."
Rose turned around and gasped.
"Dus…Dustin?!"
"Yeah, it's me."
Rose smiled and jumped off the stool and ran toward her brother. She then embraced him in a hug. "Dustin! It is you!"
Chase just stood there in shock. But he was mostly confused. "How is that even possible?!"
Douglas shrugged. "I could give you a long list of technical terms and scientific equipment and machines, but to put it simply, I basically resurrected Dustin."
"Well, it's good to have you back, Dustin." Chase stated.
Dustin laughed. "It's good to be back." He then looked down at his sister. "Uh…Rose…you can let go of me now."
"Never!" Rose kept a tight grip on her brother. "I'll never let you go!"
Dustin pulled his sister off of him. He then put his hands on her shoulders and looked into her eyes. "I'm not going anywhere. Ever. Okay? I'm not going to leave you ever again, Rose. Okay?"
Rose nodded. "O…Okay."
Dustin smiled. "Hey, you wanna do a piggy-back ride? Just for old times sakes?"
Rose jumped up and grinned like a little kid. "Do I!"
"Hop on!" Dustin crouched down and Rose got on her brother's back.
Dustin then walked around the living room and kitchen with Rose riding on his back. It looked like the two were having fun.
Douglas rolled his eyes. "Kids…"
"What? You and Mr. Davenport never did that?" Chase asked mockingly.
Douglas glared at Chase. "No!" He stopped. "Well not like that."
Chase smirked. He knew it.
"Does it look like Rose is happy now? Cause resurrecting people really isn't a walk in the park." Douglas remarked.
Chase looked at Rose. She was trying to convince Dustin to do another piggy-back ride around the room. The latter finally agreed and Rose happily cheered while Dustin walked around the living room and kitchen one more time.
Chase nodded, a smile on his face.
"Oh yeah. It definitely looks like she's happy."
The End.
I fibbed a little in the beginning Author's Note. The story isn't ending soon; it just ended now. That's right folks. Chapter Ten was the last chapter of Chasey's Got a Girlfriend. Thanks to everyone who has read this story; it was really a lot of fun to make! And I'll see ya all on the next one! (I hope!)
Chase: The story's done now so can I leave?
Yes, Chase, you're excused.
-Chase deactivates his forcefield and leaves-
Douglas: Can I leave too? You've injured me once and I'm not looking for seconds.
You're excused too, Douglas.
-Douglas leaves-
I fibbed again. –Grabs frying pan and goes after Douglas-
