Disclaimer: I do not own Lab Rats, Disney does. Excuse any mistakes in spelling and grammar or anything else that might not look right in the story.
It's finally here! The moment you've all been waiting for! Here is the first chapter to the story I've been planning! Now it's not necessary, but I suggest reading "Lab Rats: The Curious Case of Dustin Green" before reading this one as that one-shot story is kind of the precursor to this story. So you don't necessarily need to read that one to understand what's going on in this story, but it is recommended.
Anyways, enjoy chapter one of Lab Rats: Chasey's Got a Girlfriend!
Chapter One: The First Date
Ding-dong!
Ding-dong!
Ding-dong!
"Ugh…" A half-asleep Leo came down the stairs and walked up to the front door.
Who could be coming here now at…
Leo looked at the clock.
Noon?! It's twelve already?!
Leo yawned. "Guess I better wake the family…after I answer this door!"
"Hello?" Leo opened the door to see…Rose Green?!
What's she doing here?
"Oh! I'm sorry! Did I wake you?" Rose asked.
Leo yawned. "No…no you didn't. I've been awake for hours…" Leo drifted off to sleep again.
Rose slowly poked Leo in the arm. Leo bolted awake.
"Who is it?!" He exclaimed.
"Still me." Rose stated. "I'm sorry. Is this like a bad time?"
"No…" Leo said sleepily. "What do you want?"
"I just wanted to know if I can see Chase. I have something to ask him." Rose replied.
"You're wondering if you can see Chase…you have something to ask him…" Leo repeated, slowly falling asleep again.
"Yes. Can I see him?" Rose asked again.
"Oh uh yes! Let me go get him!" Leo ran off in a different direction, leaving Rose to stand and wait at the front door.
-Lab Rats-
"CHASE!" Leo pounded at Chase's capsule door in the lab.
"THERE IS SOMEONE HERE TO SEE YOU!"
Chase opened his capsule door and stepped out.
"Leo! Why so loud?!"
"Sorry, but to be honest I just woke up not even five minutes ago."
Chase glared. "What do you want?"
"You have a visitor. It looks like it's Rose." Leo stated.
Chase looked surprised and excited. "Really?" He asked.
Leo nodded. "Yeah, so go get dressed and hop to it."
Chase quickly switched out of his pajamas to some clothes, thanks to his capsule. He then thanked Leo and bolted to the elevator.
-Lab Rats-
"Rose!" Chase ran over to the front door. "Hey!"
Rose smiled. "Hi Chase."
She then looked down at Chase's shoes.
"Uh, Chase? Why are you wearing pink girl boots?"
Chase looked down at his feet. Oh great! His capsule accidentally gave him Bree's boots!
Chase chuckled nervously. "New fashion trend?"
Rose shrugged, ignoring the mistake. "Anyways…I came to ask you a question!"
"And that would be?"
"Would you like to go on a date with me…tonight?"
Chase's eyes went wide. Rose wanted to go on a date…with him?!
"Really? Uh…that…I mean…uh" Chase stuttered.
Rose gave him a kiss on the cheek.
She smiled. "Just say yes."
"Yes." Chase smiled back.
Rose grinned and started squealing excitedly. She then stopped and coughed. "Uh…I mean…great!" She blushed, embarrassed.
Chase didn't seem to mind. He liked seeing Rose happy.
"Well then…I'll see you tonight!" She then hugged Chase. "Bye!"
She walked out onto the driveway where there was a car waiting. Chase watched as Rose got into the car. He assumed it was Dustin's.
Chase grinned. He closed the door and leaned against it, sliding down to the ground. He let out a breath he didn't know he was holding in.
He finally got a date with a girl!
But Chase then remembered his conversation with Dustin and what he told him about Rose.
Chase still couldn't believe Marcus was her boyfriend…it kind of upset him, but that was in the past now. Marcus is long gone and he was Rose's boyfriend now.
At least he hoped so.
Chase was going to make sure though that he didn't expose her bionics to Rose. He hated having to keep a secret from her, but it was for the greater good. If Rose found out he was a bionic freak like Marcus, she would break up with him for sure and never want to see his face again.
That saddened Chase.
But it was final. He had to hide it from Rose. He needed to be careful, however.
Because he didn't want Rose's heart to be broken…again.
-Lab Rats-
"So? What did he say?" Dustin asked.
Rose grinned. "Yes!"
Dustin smiled. "So drop you off here tonight at seven?"
"Yup, you'll help me pick out a dress, right?"
"Uh…"
"Please Dustin!" Rose pleaded with her brother. "Mom's going to be at work and you're the only one I have left!" She then gave Dustin her puppy-dog eyes.
Dustin sighed. "Okay…"
Rose smirked. "Works every time!"
"Not always." Dustin corrected. "But most."
"So…where are you going to go?"
"I don't know." Rose responded. "But I'll let him choose."
Dustin sighed. "You know…I don't want this to be another Marcus."
Rose frowned and looked at her brother. "You promised never to mention him again!"
"Sorry…it's just…I don't want you to get hurt again. It happened with Marcus; it could happen again with Chase."
"But it won't…I just know it." Rose protested.
"Chase is nothing like Marcus. He isn't bionic like he was."
"And how do you know for sure?" Dustin asked.
"Well…I don't." Rose stated.
Rose then looked at Dustin. "But how can you say when you don't know?"
Dustin frowned. "Because…I told Chase about Marcus."
"WHAT?!"
"I didn't mean to! It's just he confronted me and wanted to know!" Dustin protested.
"Why were you such a jerk to him?" Rose asked.
"I didn't know what I was doing, but I was just being cautious. I was protecting you, Rose!"
"I don't need protection." Rose stared out the window of the car.
"I didn't know whether I was dealing with another Marcus or not. I am sorry."
Rose sighed and looked at her brother. "Can you please just give him a chance? For me? Just trust him?"
Dustin hesitated. "I don't know…"
"It's just going to be one date! I'll get to know him better and he'll get to know me better! Please? Please Dustin?"
Dustin sighed. "Okay…"
"Pinky promise?" Rose held up her pinky.
Dustin smiled. "Pinky promise."
Rose smiled back. "Good."
"And besides, I now know Chase is one of Donald Davenport's sons!" Rose replied.
"Now…that kind of scares me."
"Why?"
"Because," Dustin began. "I've heard that there's been some strange stuff going on in the Davenport Industries."
Rose crossed her arms. "I'm sure they're just rumors."
"Wouldn't be so sure about that." Dustin stated.
"Well, I am! I'm into science and technology, Dustin! It's my favorite; so you'll just have to deal with it!"
"So? What are you saying?"
"I'm saying…" Rose took a deep breath. "I might want to apply for a job at Davenport Industries."
"WHAT?!"
"I said might!" Rose playfully punched Dustin in the shoulder. "Calm down, okay?!"
Dustin rolled his eyes. "Is it because you might be working alongside him?"
Rose scoffed. "No! That's only part of the reason!"
Dustin smirked. "Knew it."
"And it's not like I'm the only one with a crush. I can tell that you like Chase's sister."
"What? He has a sister?"
Rose rolled her eyes. "Uh yeah! Her name is Bree! You know the girl that hangs around Adam, Chase, and Leo all the time at school?"
"They're her brothers."
Rose nodded. "Duh! And I know you kind of like her."
"So what? Besides, she's already got a boyfriend."
Rose narrowed her eyes. "You mean that artist, Owen, who sketches his feelings in a notepad?"
"Yeah. That's the one."
"Why don't you just try like I'm trying with Chase? She might really like you if you make her notice you."
Dustin frowned. "I almost made her arm get dislocated. How is she going to forgive me after that?"
"You never know…Chase forgave you."
"Okay…" Dustin finally gave in. "I'll try."
"Yes!"
"But only once…if I fail once then I'm sure I'd fail again."
Rose rolled her eyes. "I've never considered you to be a quitter!"
"I'm not." Dustin said. "I'm just being cautious."
"Right…"
Dustin looked at Rose. "You sure you still want to do this?"
Rose nodded. "Of course! Dustin, I really like Chase…and I want a boyfriend…who isn't like Marcus."
"You've got me you know."
Rose smirked. "Yes, Dustin, I've got you. As a big brother. But even so I still want a boyfriend!"
"I promise I'm not going to make the same mistake with Chase like I did with Marcus."
"But…"
Rose looked at Dustin. "I'll just have to wait and see how it goes."
Dustin smiled. "Okay, I'll back off this time, but only for you."
Rose smiled. "Thanks."
Dustin then drove into the driveway of their house. "So…"
"Yeah?"
"What color dress do you want to wear on your date?"
-Lab Rats-
At night…
"Ow! Not so tight, Bree!"
"Sorry, Chase. But this is your first date after all! I'm trying to make you look perfect!"
"Rose is not going to care how I look."
"Oh please! All girls care about how their boyfriend looks like."
"You do know I'm not her boyfriend yet, right?"
"Chasey's got a girlfriend! Chasey's got a girlfriend!" Adam sang.
"Enough, Adam!" Chase said annoyed. He didn't need Adam making him tenser than he already was.
"And done!" Bree finished. "What do you think?"
Chase looked in the mirror at his outfit that Bree spruced up for him.
"Not bad." Chase stated.
Bree rolled her eyes. "Not bad? It's perfect!"
"Okay, that stops now."
The doorbell then rang at that exact moment.
"She's here! Go! Go! Go! Go!" Chase ushered his siblings out of the room.
Chase then walked up to the front door and opened it. He gasped to see Rose standing there in a pretty pink dress.
"Hi." Rose greeted. "You look nice."
Chase smiled. "So do you."
Rose smiled back. "Thanks."
"So…are we ready to go?" Chase asked.
Rose nodded. "Sure."
"Hold up!"
Chase turned around to see Mr. Davenport walking into the room.
"Mr. Dav-I mean dad…what are you doing here?"
"Just wanted to meet the girl that my son here is going on his first date with."
"Hello Mr. Davenport. I'm Rose. It's such an honor to meet you! I'm a big fan of your work." Rose replied.
Mr. Davenport smirked. "Of course you are. Would you like an autograph?"
Before Rose could respond, Chase interrupted. "Actually, dad, we were just about to leave."
"Oh, of course. Have fun you two." Mr. Davenport then started walking away. "But not too much fun!"
"I am so sorry about that. He's actually like this all the time." Chase stated.
Rose laughed. "No problem."
Chase held his arm out for Rose to grab. "Shall we go now?"
Rose grabbed Chase's arm. "We shall!"
Both teenagers then walked out together and headed for their first date.
-Lab Rats-
At a fancy restaurant…
"This is nice." Rose admired the restaurant that Chase had taken her to. "But you really didn't need to do all this."
Chase smirked. "With my dad being a billionaire, how could I not?"
Rose laughed. "Of course."
"May I direct you two to your table for the evening?" A lady asked.
"Sure!" Rose replied.
The lady smiled. "Right this way."
Chase and Rose followed the lady to a booth table. Both teenagers sat down opposite from each other.
"Here you go. A waiter will be serving you momentarily." The lady said, walking away.
"So…what do you want to talk about?" Rose asked.
"Hmm…how about our families?" Chase asked. "Well, of course, you already know mine."
Rose laughed. "Yes, but you want to know mine?"
Chase nodded.
"Okay, well you already know my brother, Dustin. There's my mom. She's a dentist."
"Yeah, I know." Chase said. "Sandy Green is her name. She was the dentist for Leo when he had an appointment. I met her at the office."
"Oh cool! Mom never told me that. But that's great that you've met her. Did she like you?"
"She thought I was nice. She kept saying you would never stop talking about me."
Rose blushed. "Oh yeah…sorry I just-"
"No need to be sorry." Chase interrupted. "I can tell you really do like me."
"I do." Rose smiled.
"My siblings would constantly tease me about how I would never get a girlfriend."
"You proved them wrong, didn't you?" Rose asked.
"What?" Chase looked surprised. "Are you saying that-"
"I'm your girlfriend?" Rose finished. "I guess so."
Chase grinned. He finally did have a girlfriend!
"What would you two like to order?" A waiter asked, walking up to them.
"Oh um…" Rose looked at the menu. "I'll have the spaghetti!"
"And you sir?" The waiter asked Chase.
"Oh uh…I'll have the same." Chase answered.
"Okay. Coming right up." The waiter walked off to get their orders.
"So, what about your dad?" Chase asked Rose.
Rose stopped. "Oh…my dad…he…he left my family when I was just a baby. I don't remember much about him. And Dustin or my mom don't talk much about him either."
Chase immediately felt embarrassed. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to-"
"No, no. It's okay. I just…" Rose sighed. "I prefer not talking about that. I am curious about my dad and what happened to him and all, but my family won't tell me. I wonder why, but I choose to just leave it alone. It's for the best I guess."
Chase nodded.
-Lab Rats-
Eventually, the spaghetti came and Chase and Rose chatted some more while eating.
It came to the point where Chase and Rose were chewing on the same piece of pasta and were close to kissing.
Once they realized this, they quickly pulled away embarrassed.
After their meal, Chase and Rose were walking down the street.
"I had a lot of fun, Chase." Rose stated.
"Me too." Chase replied.
Rose smiled as she put her hand in Chase's. Chase noticed this and smiled back.
"I would like to do this again, boyfriend." Rose hinted.
Chase laughed. "Okay, we can, girlfriend."
"I'm glad you are nothing like Marcus. He was…nice in the beginning, but then turned into this evil maniac. And plus he was bionic. That was the worst of it. He was a weapon. A monster. And I was just his target. And he hurt both Dustin and I."
Chase frowned. Rose was wrong. He was exactly like that. A weapon. A monster. And bionic.
But the only difference was his intentions weren't anything like Marcus. He wasn't a bionic soldier. Rose wasn't his target. He didn't want to hurt her or Dustin.
He actually wanted to protect her.
Adam, Bree, and Chase were bionic heroes. They were trained to go on missions and save humanity.
Not do the opposite.
But even so, Chase had to keep his disguise up for as long as he can. Because he didn't know how Rose would react if she found out the truth.
And he didn't want to break her heart.
But Chase knew the illusion wasn't going to last forever.
Sooner or later it was going to come out. Chase hoped for later.
But nothing lasts forever…
"Chase…"
"Yeah, Rose?"
Rose pointed in the distance. "Look over there!"
Chase looked at what Rose was pointing at and his instincts immediately kicked in.
There were three robbers running out of a jewelry store. They had a hostage, a woman with them. And the cops were nowhere to be found.
Chase knew it.
The worst was yet to come.
End of Chapter One.
Well, how was that? I feel this story is going to go far, but that's all up to you readers if you really like it! What's going to happen next? Well, you'll just have to find out in chapter two!
Also, if some of you didn't know, I threw in some references in there. Here they are.
The scene with Leo and Rose was a reference to Frozen. (Anna waking up in the morning and one of the servants being at her door)
The scene with the spaghetti was obviously a reference to Lady and the Tramp. (Romantic!)
There's also a reference to daphrose's I'm a Monster and I'm a Weapon (If that's okay with you daphrose!) Hint: It's in the scene where Rose and Chase are walking down the street after their date and they're talking.
There's a reference to one of the episodes of Good Luck Charlie. (I'm going to wait and see if you readers can spot it yourselves!)
That's all the references I put in Chapter One (I think. If I missed anything, let me know in reviews!)
Also, I would love to hear what you readers thought of chapter one of my new story! I hope you all enjoyed it; your reviews would be highly appreciated. I just love hearing what you thought of my stories!
Anyways, see you all next time on Chapter Two, which will be coming soon! (Hey! That kind of rhymed!)
