Sam & Cat & the Haunted Thundermans: Back to the Past

Chapter Ten: It Was That Easy?
Drake Parker POV

I looked over at Mom, Dad, Josh, and Megan. All of their mouths were hanging wide open out of shock, just like mine. By the looks on their faces, I could tell that they had heard the same thing that I had heard. Did Phoebe's pet rabbit, who's name is apparently Colosso, just seriously talk or I have I not been getting enough sleep lately. Nah, next to playing the guitar, sleeping is one of my favorite things to do. Maybe this is all just some sort of crazy dream. Since Josh and I were able to free our hands from our bed sheets a little bit ago, I was able to pinch the skin of my left arm with the fingers on my right hand.
"Ow!" I screeched out of pain.

Nope, definitely not a dream.

"What's wrong, Drake?" Josh asked, concerned.

"Nothing, I just pinched myself to see if I'm dreaming since I just heard that rabbit talk!"

"It was that easy?" Megan said out of the blue.

"Megan, what are you talking about, sweetie?" Mom asked her, confused.

"Yeah, what do you mean by that?" Josh, Dad, and I chimed in.

"Don't act as if it wasn't obvious that these people were hiding something!" Megan exclaimed, as she motioned towards the huge group of people that were standing at the doorway, "I knew that they were going to come back for some random reason, and when they did, I thought that I was going to have to pry their secrets out of them. But no, instead one of their secrets was exposed to us and I didn't even have to do anything to get it out!"

"What are you talking about?" Phoebe asked nervously, as she quickly put Colosso behind her back, "One of our secrets? We don't even have any secrets!"

"Don't you dare lie to us! Your bunny practically gave it away to us!"

"Hey, I am not a bunny!" A voice from behind Phoebe hissed, "I'm a rabbit! The only one who gets to call me a bunny is me!"

Megan raised an eyebrow.

Phoebe turned her head to the right and hissed, "Dr. Colosso!"

"Oops.... Again....," Colosso, whose full name is apparently Dr. Colosso, replied sheepishly.

"Look, we won't tell anyone your secret if you tell us your other secrets," Megan stated.

"Other secrets?" Miles repeated, "Wh-what makes y-you think th-that we h-have other s-secrets?"

"The way you just nervously responded to what I just said."

"Look, I don't know who you think that you guys are, but we are not telling you anything else!" Carly said sternly, "All you get to know about is Dr. Colosso! Nothing else!"

"Alright, I hope that your bunny has funny being scientifically experimented on after I tell the whole entire world that he can talk!"

"Hey, for the last time, I am NOT a bunny!" Dr. Colosso barked, "I'm a RABBIT. R-A-B-B-I-T!!!"

"Sorry, talking rabbit."

"Billy, can you please go fetch my old Brain Melt 3,000?" A boy with light-brown hair and brown eyes who looked as if he could possibly be Phoebe's twin brother asked, obviously feeling threatened by Megan.

"Sure, Max, where is it?" A boy with dark-brown hair and brown eyes, who I now know as Billy, asked.

"Your mother and I hid it in our closet," A tall man with grayish-brown hair, blue eyes, and a round belly who was clearly Billy's father answered, "It should be on the bottom of it, in the far left corner, hidden underneath a bunch of our shoes."

"Brain Melt 3,000?" I repeated, "YOU PEOPLE WANT TO MELT OUR BRAINS!?!?"

"Oh, no, we would never do that," the boy who I now knew as Max laughed, "The Brain Melt 3,000 erases certain memories, which are selected by the person who is operating the device, from people's minds. You five know too much. If you would just keep our secret without us having to tell you our other ones, then we will allow you to keep your memories."

"Oh, please don't erase my memories!" Josh begged as he got down on his knees and clasped his hands together and began to shake them up and down, as if he was praying, "My memories are very special to me!"

"Relax! You are acting as if I want to delete all of your memories! I only want to delete the one of you finding out that Dr. Colosso can talk!"

"But still, erasing my memories sounds painful!"

"Megan, would you just please leave these poor, innocent people alone and keep their secret without having to know the rest of them?" Walter asked, "Doesn't that seem a bit nosy to you?"

"Yes, it does, but I am very good at reading people," Megan replied with confidence as she looked directly at the huge group of people, "I know that these people are hiding numerous secrets from not just us, but the whole world. I can tell that they each have a very strong bond with one another and have had many adventures together, each like an exciting, interesting storybook."

"Look, if you would just let us go and not tell anyone about Dr. Colosso, you can keep your memories!" Freddie exclaimed.

Megan ignored Freddie. "I also tell that you are all on a huge mission. Look, how about if you tell us about all of your secrets and adventures, we will help you with your mission and will promise to keep our lips sealed."

"We are looking for Cat, but we don't need your help since we already know how to find her," Miles stated.

"And how is that?"

"Like we'd ever tell you!"

"Alright, finding and rescuing Cat isn't your only mission, I presume."

"We also have to find Sam, but we already know that she's at Twin Con."

"And do you know how to get to Twin Con?"

Miles paused for a moment. He looked back at the huge group of people, seeking for help. Some of them shrugged. Some of them shook their heads. Megan smirked.

"Do you?" Miles asked sheepishly as he turned back around, facing Megan once again.

"Lucky for you, I just happen to know how to get there!" Megan proudly announced.

"Alright, we'll make a deal with you, Megan," a teenage boy with blue eyes and blond hair began, "If you help us find Sam at Twin Con, we'll tell you all of our secrets and tell you about all of our adventures! But, you all have to promise that you will never tell another soul!"

Everybody, except for Mom, Walter, Megan, Josh, and I, nodded their heads as if they were agreeing with what the boy with the blond hair was saying.

"We promise that we won't tell anybody!" Mom, Walter, Josh, Megan, and I all agreed in unison.

With that being said, the huge group of people told us everything. Who knew that a group of regular-looking people could have so many juicy secrets! Not only do they have a talking rabbit, but the Thunderman's, Dr. Colosso's owners, are a bunch of superheroes! Mr. Thunderman is also the almighty Thunder Man! But, they're not the only superheroes! Carly is the chosen one and a man named, Ray Manchester, is Captain Man, Swellview's beloved town superhero. Furthermore, Henry Hart, the boy with the blond hair, is his sidekick, Kid Danger, and a girl named, Charlotte Bolton, works for them! I also got to find out that Miles' family, the Preston's, are a bunch of ghosts, and another family, the Russo's, are a bunch of wizards! How cool is that?

Also, who knew that they could also have so many interesting stories? However, there seemed to be two sides. One side remembered one thing, while the other remembered something that was totally different. Of course, this confused Mom, Walter, Josh, Megan, and me. They quickly explained that something had happened that had caused the majority of them to forget what had really happened to all of them and to instead remember something totally different. They also told us that they had many enemies and suspected that they were somehow behind it. They also told us that is why they are looking for Sam and Cat, so they can see if they remember what had really happened, then figure out how to fix everybody else's memories, and then maybe defeat their enemies once in for all. The people who claim to remember everything correctly are Phoebe, Carly, Henry, Miles, Freddie, Tori, and Alex. The rest of them remembered things differently. However, their story was not that much different from Phoebe, Carly, Henry, Miles, Freddie, Tori, and Alex's. The only major differences were that Phoebe had never interviewed Sam for the Countrywide State Essay Contest and vise versa, Taylor never interviewed Cat and vise versa, when Max, Carly, Phoebe, and Nevel, the iCarly gang's arch nemesis, by The Dark Hurricane and The Dark Twister, instead of betraying Twister and Hurricane, he betrayed Carly and Phoebe and let their powers get sucked out of their bodies and into Twister and Hurricane's, Max's super villain stuff and Dr. Colosso were taken away from him by his parents, who also made him watch superhero training videos, which made him turn into a super hero, SFL was never caught, so the FBI was forced to place tracking devices around Carly, Freddie, and Gibby's ankles that went off every time they left town, which were later disabled by Max, and everything else that Phoebe, Carly, Henry, Miles, Freddie, Tori, and Alex said had happened never happened.

"Alright, are you guys ready to find Cat?" Alex asked, as soon as they were done explaining everything.

Everybody, except for Mom, Walter, Megan, Josh, and I, all nodded in agreement.

"Hold on, guys," Phoebe announced as she led Dr. Colosso down into the hallway, "I'll be right back. I have to take Dr. Colosso into Sam and Cat's room so that he can sniff something of Cat's."

"Ok," we all replied.

Everybody had already told Mom, Walter, Josh, Megan, and I how they were going find Cat. Dr. Colosso has a really good sense of smell, so he was going to sniff one of Cat's belongings, then track down her scent and tell the others where to go.

"You know what? We might as well bring them along with us," Phoebe told everybody once she had returned with Dr. Colosso as she motioned towards Mom, Walter, Megan, Josh, and me, "I mean, it will be less time-consuming if we leave for Twin Con right after we find Cat. Plus, since everything has changed, Nora Dershlit, Linda, Mack, Paul, and Steve are probably at the abandoned house and if we get caught, who knows what kind of tricks that they might have up their sleeves!"

"True, but we're going to need a bunch of cars to drive in, and I don't think that Megan's family has enough to fit all of us!" Justin pointed out, "I've never been to this abandoned house before, but I know that it is going to take us way too long to talk there!"

Mr. Preston, Louie, and Miles all looked at one another and smirked.

"Don't worry!" Louie assured us, "We have an idea!"

The three ghosts led the rest of us outside of the apartment and outside of the whole entire complex. Once they were sure that nobody was watching us, they snapped their fingers. Like magic, two mini vans, and five cars suddenly appeared. I was truly amazed. Mom, Walter, Megan, Josh, and I all gasped.

"You guys are geniuses!" Andre complemented the Preston's, "Alright, so how about the Thunderman's and Dr. Colosso take one van, the Hathaway's and the Preston's take the other, the Russo's go together in a car, Spencer, Carly, Gibby, and Freddie go together in another, Captain Man, Henry, Jasper, Piper, and Charlotte go in another, Mr. and Mrs. Nickels, Drake, Josh, and Megan go together, and then Tori, Beck, Robbie, Jade, Rex, and I take the last car?"

"Glad to know that we are on the same page as each other because that's exactly what we had in mind," Miles announced.

"Alright, that works," the rest of us agreed.

With that being said, we all climbed into all seven of the vehicles. As soon as the Thunderman's started to drive, the rest of us began to follow them. Off we went to find Cat.
