Brother Battle

Guys, you will never believe what just happened. Jake Chambers asked me to go to the winter dance. Jake Chambers? The Jake Chambers? Yes. Who's Jake Chambers? The only guy who's even talked to me since people found out we were bionic. Apparently no one wants to date a girl who they think was unveiled at this year's auto show. Yeah, I hear you. No one wants to date me either. Oh, really? Well, who are you going to the dance with? No one. Hey, Bree. Hey, Jake, what's up? Attention students: this is your principal, Principal Perry. Please report to the hallway where Bree Davenport is making a fool out of herself in front of the boy she has a crush on. I'm going to just go. Why would you do that? Hey. If Perry were alive, she'd want me to do this. She's not dead. She's home with a cold. You don't know that. She could be dead by now and this is how I choose to honor her. Well, can't you embarrass someone else besides me? I could. But I'm better than that. The world's first bionic superhumans. They're stronger than us. Faster. Smarter. The next generation of the human race is Living in my basement? Ugh. Adam is such a jerk. I can not believe that he embarrassed me in front of Jake. Yeah. You were doing just fine on your own. Don't worry, I know the perfect way to get revenge. I have been working on an upgrade to Mr. Davenport's cybermasks. Now they're cybermasks and cloaks. That's not revenge. That's you being a nerd. These perfectly mimic the face and the body of the person you're pretending to be. Now you can impersonate Perry and bust Adam. Here is how I redesigned the electrical infrastructure. Yeah, boring, let's get to the pain. Okay. All I have to do is download a picture of Principal Perry and enter her height and weight. I got it off the back of her trading card. She used to play hockey in Croatia. And voila. Wow! I look just like her. I sound just like her too. And I'm not even using my vocal manipulation. I know. Voice modulation is built right in. And if you want to change back to your own voice, just press the other end of the tab. This is so cool. This is going to be the best revenge ever. Mm-hmm. Let's just shake on it. Hey, looking sharp, Big D. People will almost take you seriously in that suit. Yeah, I gotta go, we're having a big board meeting to discuss the future of Davenport Industries and I want to get there early so I can lower everyone else's chairs. Fill us in, what's your plans for the future? Major changes. But you guys are going to have to wait and find out with everyone else. I'll see you guys later. Major changes? What's that about? I don't know. Uh-oh. Looks like Donnie forgot his briefcase. Hey, what are you doing? You can't look through his stuff. That's unethical. When I gave you bionics, I should have given you a spine too. Get out of my way. "Short list for number two. " That must mean that Davenport Industries is looking for a vice president. And look, I'm a finalist! Me too! Uh-oh. He could come back at any second. Put this away. Busted! This competition is over. Let me see that. With pleasure. It's locked so you can't delete it. Hey! Hi, Leo Dooley. Mr. Davenport's new number two. Attention students, it's me again, the real Principal Perry. You know, pantsuits, cats, hate you. Anywho Even though I'm here sick at home I want you all to know you make me sick here, too. You ready to do this? Oh yeah. It's Perry time. Hey! What do you think you're doing? Principal Perry? I thought you were sick. I am, but I ran out of people to give the virus to, so I'm spreading it around here. I heard you were embarrassing the students. Well, I think it's time to embarrass you. Good luck with that. I've been embarrassing myself for years. It's kind of hard to top the master. Come on out. Okay, you topped the master. You look ridiculous. You realize I'm dressed like you. There you are. I brought you a mug of hot cocoa and look, I used little marshmallows to form a "D" for Donnie. Man, have I changed. What are you doing? Just showing a little appreciation for my big brother. If you don't stop, he's going to figure out we snooped. Now get out of here before you blow this whole thing. Fine. Now where were we Dad. Oh, no you don't. He was my brother before he was your step-dad. Daddy, evil uncle is scaring me. All right, I know you two are up to something, now spill. Okay, okay, we went through your briefcase. We know you're looking for a vice president. Vice president? Yeah, your short list for number two. Oh, right. Right. Vice president. Don't worry, we're totally cool with you considering both of us. Yeah, it makes perfect sense that you're choosing between a brilliant scientist and a teenage underachiever. Well, since my secret's out, I guess the only option is to move on to phase two. Selecting the winner. And how are you going to do that? By putting you both through an elaborate series of tests. Works for me. May the best man win. Yes. May the best man who hasn't tried to kill you and steal your children win. Jake just called. He'll be here in five minutes. Jake? Jake Chambers? Shut it! I still can't believe Principal Perry came back from the dead to embarrass me like that. Now, call me crazy, but I'm starting to think she is not a good person. Oh, he still doesn't know. Know what? That's an endless list, could you be more specific? Well, Adam, a prank is no fun unless you take credit for it. So, I guess I should probably tell you it wasn't Perry messing with you, it was me. I don't understand. Here, let me show you. Ain't I gorgeous? Whoa! Bree? Mm-hmm. But I gotta say, best prank ever. Thanks. I'm rather proud of it myself. Even though it was my idea. You're always proud of yourself. Take a night off. That's Jake! How do I look? Like an eastern European swim coach. Lose the cybercloak. Good catch. Uh, be right there! Chase, what's going on? And why won't it change back? Um, I believe the technical term for this is "it's stuck. " Stuck? I can't go to the dance as Perry. Ugh. What am I going to do? Bree? Are you ready? I know I am. Bree, are you there? Adam, do not open that door. Why would I do that? Oh, right, 'cause it's going to be hilarious. Come on in, Jake. Principal Perry, what are you doing here? Uh, yelling, sweating, rifling through their meat. Where's Bree? She's not here. But I just heard her voice. Is she blowing me off? No! I mean, she's here. She's just not in the room right now. She'll be down in a sec. Could you excuse us? Ow! Come on in, Jake. Make yourself comfortable. It could be a long wait. Quick, grab another cybermask and pretend to be me so you can tell Jake I'm too sick to go to the dance. No, I refuse to be your Aah! Is there a problem? Absolutely. Wow. You look beautiful. Knock it off, dork. I mean, nice sweater. I think I have the same one. Wait, what's going on? Oh, okay, I see what you did. You know what? You guys keep going, I want to see how this plays out. Look, I'm so sorry, but I can't go to the dance. I'm real sick. Sick? You were fine on the phone. Don't worry, Jake. I see what's going on here. Bree's not sick, she's just nervous. Trust me, she's super into you. No, I'm not! Stop it! Okay, this is weird. Maybe I should go. No, Jake, don't go. Bree, tell him what you told me. That you think he's great and that you're dying for him to take you to the dance. I am not taking him to the dance. Could you excuse us for a second? Because of your stupid mask, I'm about to lose the one guy who's not intimidated by me. Go to the dance and stall him until I can figure out how to switch this off. No way. I am a teenage girl trapped inside Perry's body. Do you really want to see what happens when those two mix? Fine. But that is no way to treat someone pretending to be a lady. All right, let's go to the dance, dude. I mean, shall we? I'll chaperone. Ooh, me too. Hey, Jake, it's okay if you want to hold Bree's hand. Hey, is that your van parked outside? Dude, you better go check, I think somebody put a dent in it. Oh, and hey, can you return this to shop class? Ladies and gentlemen, let's get this party started! Whoo! With a slow love ballad. Let's show them how it's done. Don't they make a lovely couple? Okay, whoever is going to be my number two is going to be doing a lot of international travel. So you're going to have to be comfortable with exotic local cuisine. I do love a good meal. Ew! What is that? You know, if I told you, you wouldn't enjoy it as much. Dig in! Oh unless of course you're not up for the position. You know what I love about this is I thought I swallowed it, but it crawled back up my throat. Now a good number two will be there for me when I need him, to help me test out new technologies. What exactly are we testing? My artificial neural network. It will allow human brain impulses to control machines using stimulus and response. If it works, the slightest movement from Leo will transfer energy to you, and vice versa. So let's give it a shot. Wait, so if Hey, what do you know, it works! No, it doesn't. Don't move. If we stay still, neither one of us will get shocked. Heads up! Why did you do that? It was a reflex. No, this is a reflex. There you are. Oh, hi. You ready to hit the dance floor again? Yeah, just give me a sec to run to the can. Uhh Trash can. In the ladies room. Yep, I am all lady. Why does she keep blowing me off? I knew I shouldn't have asked her to the dance. Why a bionic girl be into a regular guy like me? No, Jake, wait. She's into you. She's really, really into you. Ooh! Having fun? What do you think? Jake thinks I'm avoiding him and I'm trapped inside Perry's body which, by the way, is as sweaty inside as it is outside. Ugh! Why won't this thing come off? Ugh! This is the worst day of my life. And the best day of mine. Cindy Fogelberg just forced me to try her lipstick. I am done doing this for you. And why'd you change your clothes? What? What are you talking about? And why does your voice sound higher than usual? Very funny, Bree. Oh! What? What are you looking at? And why'd you call me Bree? Something weird is going on here. Uh Bree? I think I'm just going to go. Oh, no, you're not going anywhere. Come on, I want to go dance like the girl that I am. Whoo! Yeah! Hey! What do you think you're doing? I can explain. You better. My long lost twin sister shows up after 11 years, she better have a real good reason. Hold on. You're a twin? Don't try that amnesia thing with me again. You owe me a car, a canoe, and two boyfriends. I'm sorry? You're gonna be. I'm about to give you real amnesia. In the corporate world, you're going to need to know how to swim with the sharks. So, when I push this button That's it, I'm done. You win. No. You take it. At least when Krane gave me electric shocks, he explained why. So neither of you wants to be my vice president? Nope! Good. Because I was never looking for one in the first place. What? Come again, now? The short list for number two that you found wasn't for my second in command. It was to replace number two on the Davenport Industries softball team. What? Come again, now? Don't you just feel stupid? I ate a rat's eyeball for you! Why would you put us through all these stupid tests if you knew you weren't even looking for a V. P. ? To teach you a valuable lesson about looking through my confidential files. Leo, I expect this kind of behavior from Douglas, but you? We got so excited about the future of your company, it was easy for Douglas to convince me to do the wrong thing. Look, there will come a time when I want you guys involved in my company, but I have to know that I can trust you. And clearly right now I can not. You're right. I'm sorry. Well, that's very noble of you Leo. You were a bad boy today. Okay, fine, I guess I'm sorry too. Yeah, well, you should be. I didn't even mention that you stole two of my cybermasks. Whoa, whoa, we did a lot of bad things today, but we did not touch your cybermasks. Oh, really, because two of them are reading as active. Luckily I installed a security protocol so I could shut them off from here. Get off me! You can keep the boyfriends but I want the canoe! Awesome! So, I hear you're in the market for a canoe. Even more awesome! What? Oh. Thank you for a magical evening. So are you sure you're not mad about the whole cybermask thing? No, no, I get it, you're bionic. Weird stuff is gonna happen. Besides, your brother's a pretty good dancer. So, you want to hang out tonight? I could meet you at the pizza place around 7:00. Perfect. Great. Just grab a table and I'll see you when I get there. I'll be waiting. Yeah, you'll be waitin' all night.
