The whole waterpark incident behind them, the teens continued to retire into the cabins for the night.
Around 8, the girls woke up, followed 20 mins later by the boys. After much debating over breakfast, they decided to rent a foam pad and just hang out at the lake.
"Chase and I will grab the pads and meet you guys down there." Adam volenteered.
The rest nodded and proceded to lay out their towels on the sand. The two bionics jogged up the beach to rent the pads, which were huge slabs of foam used to lay docks. The pads were painted with a rubber-like paint and were durable enough to hold up a few people without losing buoyancy.
"We'll take two mediums, please. Oh, and two hours each." Chase told the salesman.
"That'll be forty." he replied ringing up the rental.
"But the sign says 5$ an hour."
"Yeah!" Adam piped.
"Supply and demand. You want 'em or not?"
"I'd rather go for not!"
"Suit yourself." he walked out to another wing of the stand.
Adam looked at his brother. "Now how'll we get them?"
Chase shrugged and scanned the sign. "The sign doesn't say anything about extra for busy days."
"Hey, you're right! Even I can see that." he frowned. "And that means what again?"
Chase sighed. "It means that he's trying to cheat us. Let's go find another employee."
So after another half-hour of searching for a worker they got their foam pads.
"We're back!" Adam sang out from under his mat, which was held up by one hand.
Bree looked up from her book. "Finally! What took you so long?"
Chase sputtered from under his. "T-the guy tried to c-cheat us."
He collapsed and the mat fell on top of him with a thunk.
"'An I 'ave a lil' 'it o' 'elp?!" Chase called out. Translation: Can I have a little bit of help?!
Adam used his free hand to free his brother. "There you are little girl!" he gave a cheesy smile.
Chase spit out a mouthful of sand. "Haha." he laughed dryly.
Leo ignored him. "Let's get those in da water!"
The teens played in the water all morning, flinging each other off the rafts and trying to see who could stay up the longest.
A few minutes before their rental time was up, there was a plume of smoke rising from the direction of the dining hall.
"Hey, I didn't know there was a bonfire today!" Leo scratched his head.
"That's because there isn't." Bree replied.
Chase used his bionic vision to zoom in. What he saw was the hall on fire, people running out and screaming.
He gave his brother and sister an urgent look.
Bree looked at her friends and told them that they needed a minute. As soon as the three were back on land behind some trees, Chase filled them in.
"We've gotta help! What if there are people inside? The nearest fire department is miles away! They won't make it in time!" Bree burst.
Adam nodded his agreement.
"Here's what we're gonna do..." Chase explained how Bree could use her speed to put out the fire while he and Adam got everyone out.
Bree sped ahead of them and started putting out the fire while Chase and Adam went inside and tried to find people.
"Adam!" Chase coughed through the smoke. "Can you see anything?"
"If anybody were to see anything it would be you, genius!"
Gradually the boys became aware of a dim orange glow from ahead. The fire was coming from the kitchen and moving slowly outwards.
Focusing on hearing, Chase was able to hear a muffled cry from further in the building.
Telling his brother to go left and keep searching, he took the right and followed the cries to a storage room. There he found that the fire had barred the door with a flaming log. He quickly removed it with the help of molecular kinesis.
Using his magnetism app Chase was able to turn the handle and get into the room. Once in he found a teenaged girl. She had black streaks all over her face and skin, and she was begining to lose consciousness.
He grabbed her and carried her into the fresh air, leaving her with some counslers.
Adam rushed through the smoke, straining to hear for cries of help. Turning into a room, he spied a boy no older than 11 passed out from the smoke. Hefting him up off the ground, he turned and headed outside. By now the paramedics had arrived and he handed him over to them.
Bree was speeding around the building. She had been for the past 20 minutes, waiting for her brothers. She hoped it was putting out the fire, because it was giving her a major headache.
As far as she knew, nobody had seen her. The thick black smoke directly around the building provided a great cover, but she hoped it wasn't being blown away by her breeze.
At last, she heard sirens in the distance. She stopped running behind the building and came jogging out as if she had no idea what was going on.
The fire department pulled up and was surprised to find that the fire was well contained. They pulled out their hoses and had it out in around a half hour.
*O*
Epilogue
Needless to say, all campers were sent home after the fire. Chef Perry made it out okay, but her cooking was the reason it had burned down in the first place.
In her court case, she pleaded not guilty. Her testimony? Quote:"How was I supposed to know that just because the can of beans said Extra Hot doesn't mean you have to cook them extra hot?"
The Adam and Chase were hailed as heroes for saving the two kids from the fire. Bree wasn't because, well, she couldn't leak her super speed. But she wasn't too bummed.
Partially because at the party for them she:
A.) Replaced their punch with tomato juice and Sprite
B.) Put trick candles on the three foot tall cake
C.) Placed brown crayons in all the Tootsie Rolls
The Tootsie Rolls were Adam's idea. He said the party needed it's own personal touch. He also hacked into the cake order so that there was a large rubber rat on top.
A year later, after the world found out about the bionic trio, a new dining hall was built. In their honor, it was named The Davenport Diner.
It was a greater moment for Donald than the kids.
At Bree's request, the camp hired professional cooks. Now instead of 'tacos' the camp serves steak.
Real steak.
Two years later, the Davenports returned to camp. But this time, it was a lot less eventful.
I am SO sorry I took this long to update. I've been on a major case of writer's block, but I did complete it!
Check out some of my other stories, too! I'm kinda busy getting started with homeschool, but I try to update any of my stories every 2 - 3 days.
Once again, SO sorry for the wait! Hope you enjoyed it, though!
