Oliver's pov

It took A LOT of convincing from the Calderian, but Skylar managed to drag Bree to a spa day after the bionic survived a week of finals. The main issue Mama Bree had was leaving me, Kaz and Chase alone. We'd tell her she worries too much; but if we did, she'd probably put us in a time-out for "sassing Mama".

For the first few hours we were fine, but soon Kaz brought out Spike and my powers glitched; causing some things to break. Kaz and I immediately started to freak out, Chase imitating our state as soon as we were able to get him back to normal.

Eyes wide, Chase spoke "We NEED to fix this!"

Exasperated, my best friend and I shot back "No DUH, Sherlock!"

Making me jump out of my skin in fear, Chase looked at the clock and spoke, voice trembling "Uh, GUYS?! Sky and Bree get back in less than 30 minutes!"

We groaned "We are SO grounded!"

Getting an idea, I spoke, getting my phone "Maybe not..."

Skylar's pov

Bree and I were having a relaxing cucumber and avocado facial when my phone started buzzing, signalizing a text. It was Oliver, telling me of their delicate situation and begging me to stall Bree for a while longer so they could get the house in order. This is SO gonna blow up in our faces...

Trying to act natural, I suggested "Why don't we get mani-pedis?"

That bought us extra time, considering Calderians have more toes than regular humans. I kept the boys up to speed, and kept stalling Bree, also convincing her to get a seaweed scalp massage, a full body massage and many other types of pampering that bought the boys another hour and a half.

When we got home everything was fixed again, and the boys and I heaved a discrete sigh of relief.

Bree smiled "Everything is in order, no one is hurt... You three were good little boys."

They nodded "Yup. Everything is fine, you had nothing to worry about."

She laughed "You're right, I had absolutely nothing to worry about. I mean, I don't even know why I installed Eddy and programmed him to send feed to my chip..."

The three boys groaned, and I joined them as Bree went on "All four of you are grounded. Skylar, you're grounded for being an accomplice."

Sputtering in protest, Chase and Oliver demanded "Why are WE grounded?!" the bionic went on "Kaz brought out Spike, it's not my fault!" Nodding, Oliver added "And it's not my fault my powers glitched!"

Bree's pov

Crossing my arms at their protests, I shot back, being triumphant yet again "But it IS your fault you three watched a scary movie I told you not to; and you being scared messed up your powers, Oliver; and Kaz teasing Chase for being scared brought out Spike. Plus one of the things you broke are the 36 mini-plates I told you to put up this morning."

Shrugging, Kaz spoke " On the bright side, we now have service for 108 even tinier people!" Chase smiled "That's shockingly correct, Kaz! 36 times 3 is 108! Nice job!"

Interrupting their little celebration, I spoke "Go to your rooms. You're grounded." All four whined "But why?!" Raising my eyebrow at them, I replied, giving them a LOOK "Cause Mama said. Now go." Needless to say, that made them go.
