-No One's POV-

"Okay, guys, you have been trained for all kinds of missions. But you are about to enter a soul-bruising, confidence-crushing, apocalyptical environment: high school. Adam, Bree, Mia, your glitch test results are fairly stable." Mr Davenport explains.

"Yes! I'm going to school!" Bree shouts punching the air with her fists.

"I'm fairly stable!" Adam shouts.

"I'm finally doing something right!" Mia shouts hi-fiving Adam.

"But, Chase, I am still concerned about your Commando App." Mr Davenport says turning towards Chase.

"Commando App? Put on some underpants, we're going to school!" Leo says.

"No, see, in the face of an imminent threat, Chase's Commando App kicks in and he becomes a fearless brute I like to call Spike. It's kinda like a fight-or-flight thing, except I took out the flight part, 'cause, useless. And I replaced it with a testosterone level of like a tasmanian devil-wolverine-shark-lion hybrid that's mad." Mr Davenport explains.

"Don't worry, Mr. Davenport. I promise that Spike won't rear his ugly head." Chase says.

"Oh, yeah? You mean like last Christmas when I made the mistake of giving Adam boxing gloves?" Mr Davenport says.

"Ugh, I'm still coughing up tinsel." Adam groans punching his chest.

"You know, letting Chase go to school, isn't such a good idea. I can't risk Spike coming out." Mr Davenport says.

"Oh, come on, Big D. Chase has to come. With these guys, I'll finally get a prime spot in the cafeteria. That's right, y'all. Put on your coats 'cause I'm about to ride your tail!" Leo chuckles.

"Don't worry. We'll make sure he stays out of trouble. Right, guys?" Adam says.

"Yeah. It's one for all and all for one. Unless, of course, you guys make me look bad, in which case, I am dropping you lame-os." Bree says.

"Don't worry about it Bree. I'm gonna be the three C's: Calm, Cool, and Collected." Mia says.

"Your freaking out on the inside aren't you?" Bree asks, knowing her little sister way too well.

"I feel like electricity is bursting inside my stomach!" Mia shouts.

"Mr. Davenport, I can't miss school. This is the beginning of my academic achievements and career trajectory. I mean, the road to astronaut lawyer has to start somewhere." Chase says, once again reverting back to nerd talk.

"Okay. But I better not get a call from the art teacher saying that Spike ripped out her larynx. Actually, she wouldn't be able to say anything, because Spike ripped out her lar- The point is just keep him out of trouble." Mr Davenport says addressing the last part to everyone.

"Hey, look what I found." Adam says pulling out his red boxing gloves.

He starts swinging his fists around and accidently hits Chase in the chest, knocking him to the floor and getting a glare from Donald. Adam backs away in fear and ducks behind Bree and Mia.

"Look, I'm sorry, but if he's that close to the gloves, it's gonna happen." Adam sighs.

"Okay, you guys. That's Principal Perry. She has the temperament of a junkyard dog stuffed into a really bad pantsuit."

"Hey, you! No tounge rings in school! Don't try to hide it. I will take a metal detector to your face!" Perry shouts as various students wall by."

"This is it. My chance for romance. On TV, the new girl always drops her books and the cute guy with the soulful eyes picks them up." Bree says dropping her books on the floor. The books land on a boys foot and he glares at Bree.

"Oops! Sorry, I'm new." Bree says, her face going red from embarrassment.

"Lets go into the cafeteria, I'm hungry." Mia groans clutching her stomach.

"Your always hungry." Chase says.

"You say that like its a bad thing." Mia says as the five teens walk into the cafeteria.

"Okay, your social life is determined by where you sit. We can't sit at the cool table. But we can be cool table adjacent." Leo says pointing to one of the tables.

"FYI, Adam just sat down at the cool table." Bree says.

"What?! He can't sit there! That's where the football players sit with the cheerleaders. And they pride themselves on finding very clever places to stuff your pudding cup." Leo gasps.

"Pudding cups? Where?" Mia gasps looking around the room.

"Those girls are actually talking to him. And they can't talk about shapes and colors forever. See ya." Chase says before walking over to the cool table.

"No! The football players are gonna turn them into the 5th food group. It's a rescue mission. Move in. Move in." Leo shouts running over to the cool table, Bree and Mia close behind.

"Oh, hey, guys. These girls just told me when the football players get here, I'm getting a free pudding cup." Adam says as his siblings reach the table.

"Hi!" Leo says to the girls. "Walk away." He mutters to Adam and Chase. "How's it going?" Leo asks turning back to the girls. "You're in great danger." He mutters turning back to Adam and Chase.

"WOOOOO!"

Crazy chants, ape-like voices. That could only mean one thing, the football players had arrived. Trent, the captain of the football team, strolls up to Leo and moves in close to his face.

"Sorry." Leo mutters before stepping back from the table.

"Hey. That's my seat. Get lost before I use you like a napkin." Trent orders turning towards Chase.

"Chase, we should probably go." Bree says to her younger brother. "He's not very absorbent." Bree says turning to Trent.

"Oh, look, a spill! I think I'm gonna wipe it up with your face." Trent mocks picking Chase up by his shirt.

That was the last straw for Chase. COMMANDO APP ENGAGED! Uh oh. Spike was coming out to play.

"Think again, bubbleneck! I'm gonna rip out your kneecaps and use them as hockey pucks!" Spike snaps grabbing Trents arm and pushing his face into the table.

"Okay, I don't mean to alarm anyone, but I think Spike's back." Adam gasps running over to his siblings.

"You have no idea who you're messing with!" Trent snaps running back to his football squad. "Pudding cups!" He shouts as his friends put two pudding cups in his hands.

"Ohh, I'll take those." Spike says taking the pudding cups out of Trents hand. He squeezes the end of the cups, covering the football team in chocolate pudding.

"You're dead!" Trent snaps.

Spike goes right up to their faces and screams, making them jump back in fear.

"You're lucky that we have to go to the reading center right now." Trent stammers running out of the room, the rest of the team following behind.

Everyone in the cafeteria cheers for Spike, only boosting his ego even more.

"Take a seat, compadres. This is our table now." Spike says sitting at the cool table, putting his feet up and leaning back in his chair.

"Hello, ladies. You may remember me from health class when I passed out during the miracle of birth video. It's good to see you again." Leo says to the girls, trying to act as cool as possible.

"All right. Make room for the Alpha Dogs. Woof! Wooof! Woof! Woof!" Leo chants as he and the four bionic teens walk through the halls.

"Don't do that." Adam says grabbing Leo by the shoulder.

"Okay." Leo sighs, bowing his head in embarrassment.

"Wait, if we're the Alpha Dogs, then..." Bree says dropping her books on the floor. About four boys run towards her and pick up her books for her. "Oh, I love this!" Bree gasps.

"Best of all, I can get as much chocolate milk as I want." Mia says while drinking chocolate milk out of a carton.

Adam grabs the carton out of Mias hand and throws it across the hall, its contents spilling across the floor.

"No! Bad Mia!" Adam snaps, patting Mia's head like a dog.

A small nerdy looking boy walks up to Spike and hands him a yellow pass before scurrying off in fear.

"What's this?" Spike asks holding up the pass.

"That's an all access hall pass. You can go anywhere you want with that." Leo gasps walking towards Spike.

"I can go anywhere I want already. These, ugh, are my hall passes." Spike says flexing his small muscles.

"Okay, if he starts oiling up, I'm out." Leo mutters to Bree.

"Commando App disengaged? Guys! Why was I in Commando Mode?" Chase stammers as his commando app deactivates.

"Were you in Commando Mode?" Bree asks.

"I didn't see a Commando Mode." Leo lies.

"Commando. No no." Mia says nervously.

"Oh, that's good, everyone keep lying." Adam says, recieving a slap on the arm from Bree.

"You guys were supposed to watch out for me." Chase groans.

"Oh, we watched the whole thing. You manhandled the quarterback and pudding popped the whole offensive line!" Leo chuckles.

"What? Aw, great. This is so gonna come back to haunt my Supreme Court nomination." Chase says, once again being nerdy.

"You know what Spike would say to that? Nothing. He would rip out your rib cage and play it like a xylophone." Bree says.

"More like he'd rip out your spine and use it as a pogo stick." Mia says.

"Yeah, I like him. He's like a big, fun monster, and you're a sad little body." Adam mocks, poking Chases small muscles.

"I'll get Spike back! Get lost before I use you like a napkin!" Leo snaps moving up to Chases face.

Chase stares at Leo and gives him a 'what on earth are you doing look?'. Seriously, this was confusing the heck out of Chase.

"Yeah, this isn't gonna work." Leo sighs moving away from Chase.

"Hey, baby. Wanna nibble?" Leo asks one of the cheerleaders, holding out his granola bar.

"Hey, there's Trent. I better go apologize." Chase says pointing to the football team, who are sat at a table in the corner of the cafeteria.

"Woah! Slow it up, buttercup." Bree says, stopping Chase from getting up.

"Mail him a greeting card. It's so much more personal." Leo mocks.

"Even better, send him some flowers. That would be the cherry on the 'please give me a wedgie' cake."Mia mocks, taking a bite out of the green apple in the palm of her hand.

"Guys, look. The cheerleaders cut up my food into tiny pieces. I'm eating a turkey burger through a straw. Mmm. Gibblet-y!" Adam says, sucking up the contents of his lunch through an orange straw.

"Hey! New kid! Come here!" Perry shouts running over to Chase. He hesitates for a moment before standing up and walking over to the ginger she-beast of a principal."Do you know what happens when my football players get humiliated? No! You don't. Because my football players don't get humiliated!" She snaps pointing her meaty finger at Chase.

"They look humiliated to me." Adam says pointing to the football players, who are sobbing over at their table.

"I know what team spirit is about. Because I was the jammer on the North Pacific roller derby championship team." Perry brags, puffing out her small polyester jacket proudly,

"Quite an accomplishment." Chase says, trying to get by with small talk.

"Don't mock me, squash face. My career ended when a trash talker like you got inside my head and I wiped. One zebra called it the worst single-bodied collision she'd ever seen." Perry threatens.

"I'd crash too if I saw a talking zebra." Chase chuckles nervously, still unsure about the whole situation.

"It's a referee, you desk donkey! They told me what you did this morning at breakfast. You will not undermine the morale of my team. Evacuate this table. Now!" Perry snaps.

COMMANDO APP ENGAGED! Spike was back again and this time, he wasn't playing around.

"Watch who you're talking to, sports bra! I bet you panicked, threw yourself off the track and blamed the other team for your weakness." Spike mocks, leaning over Perry's small body,

"Do you think this Spike thing's gotten a bit out of hand?" Leo mutters.

"He might've crossed the line at sports bra." Bree says.

"He crossed the line at the first breath he took." Mia chuckles, amused by the whole situation.

"I had to quit because of that accident." Perry says.

"Quit? Or move out of the state in shame?" Spike asks, making everyone in the room gasp.

"He doesn't know! He wasn't there." Perry stammers.

"Why don't you hop in you economy car and tootle on home to your six cats and your online bingo tournament." Spike mocks.

"Jokes on you! I have 5 cats! Ha!" Perry shouts before turning to leave the cafeteria, having already received enough shame for the day.

"You didn't get our table back. Bumming us out. Even more bummed out when we lose. Do something." Trent whines as the principal walks past.

"All right, kid. I'll make you a deal." Perry says turning back towards Spike. "Let's be civilized and settle this the old-fashioned way. With a bone-crushing grudge match on the football field!" Perry shouts.

"We're in. Me... Him, her... and him." Spike says pointing to three of his siblings.

"What am I? Chopped liver?" Mia gasps, hurt that Spike didn't mention her.

"And her." Spike adds pointing at Mia.

"You and your band of nobodies versus my fighting dingoes." Perry says, pointing towards the pitiful football team.

"Who is she calling a nobody? I got half a BFF necklace today." Bree gasps, showing everyone her necklace.

"Winner takes table and all the glory." Perry declares.

"Oh, ma'am, as much as i'd like to flex my football fanciness, girls soccer has the field tonight." Leo says walking over to Perry.

"Eh, just as well. I can't condone such a violent game on school grounds. So let's take it to the dog park across the street!" Perry says, preventing the match from being cancelled.

"Yeah!" Spike shouts, excited to crush the pathetic football team.

"Am I the only one that's gonna need a fresh change of pants before we start?" Leo asks.

"Don't worry, your not the only one." Mia groans.

The five teens, the football team, the cheerleaders and Perry stand out on the field before the game starts.

"Go! Go! Alpha Dogs!" The cheerleaders cheer from the sidelines, making Spike grin in pleasure. To him it's sounds like 'Go! Go! Spike!'.

"This doesn't seem fair." Leo groans, referring to the cheap outfits they're wearing versus the expensive clothes the football team have.

"Seems fair to me. Let's get it on!" Perry shouts blowing her whistle, signalling the start of the game.

"Let's huddle!" Leo says.

"Huh?"

"Pardon me?"

"I huddled before I got here."

"What does huddle mean?"

"Oh, man, you guys don't know how to play football. Okay, we need to stop that team from getting into our end zone and scoring a..." Leo explains.

"Hike!" Trent shouts, stopping Leo halfway through his explanation. He runs forward and tackles Leo dragging him and the ball pass the goal line, scoring a point.

"...touchdown." Leo groans, flopping to the floor in pain.

"All right, Adam. You squat down right here, and when I say, "hike," you're gonna pass the ball between your legs to my hands which will be right here." Leo says, demonstrating how to hike the ball.

"Woah! Hey, it's football! It's not handsball!" Adam snaps.

"Just do it already!" Mia shouts.

"Break!" The football team shouts, breaking up from their huddle.

"Hey, nuggethead. Quit sucking air and hike him the ball like this." Spike mocks shoving Adam out of the way and hiking the ball to Leo. The second Leo has the ball, Trent picks him up and carries him and the ball to the goal line.

"Hey!" Leo shouts as Trent drops him to the ground.

"Safety! Two points!" Trent shouts before running back to his side of the field, still keeping the lead on the Alpha Dogs.

"Losing makes me wanna rip out my own intestines and wear 'em as a sweat band!" Spike snaps, pacing up and down their sector of the field.

"You and me both brother. You and me both." Mia sighs, receiving a strange look from Bree, Adam and Leo.

"Okay. The only way we're gonna win is if we use your super speed, your super strength, your super-nutty split personality and your super hyper attitude." Leo explains.

"I'll do whatever it takes. I already smell like a sweaty ape. I don't want this to be for nothing." Bree groans.

"Here's what we're gonna do. I'll distract the football team while Bree uses her super speed to tie their shoelaces together. Mia, take all the sugar out of my bag and eat as much as you can, once you feel hyper come back onto the field and burn off that energy. Adam use your super strength to push pass them and toss the ball to Spike, who will score the touchdowns." Leo explains.

Perry blows her whistle and the five teens break from their huddle, ready to put their plan to use.

"Hey! Is that a Biggie Burger truck pulling up?" Leo gasps, making all of the football players turn around.

While their distracted, Bree whizzes around and ties their shoelaces together before they can even react,

"Guess not. Hike!" Leo shouts passing the ball back to Adam.

"Hey! How'd our shoes get tied together?" Trent snaps, trying to run after Adam as he runs towards the goal line.

Adam tosses the ball to Spike and he runs over the goal line, scoring a touchdown.

"Touchdown!" Spike barks, throwing the ball to the ground and doing a victory lap of the field.

"Seven seconds left. Now remember, kids, there's no shame in losing. Oh, wait. Yes, there is!" Perry shouts blowing her whistle, starting up the game again.

"All right, we have time for one more play. Spike, you scored every touchdown today. You score one more and we win." Leo explains.

"Give me the ball. If I don't come back with their spleens, you'll know I failed." Spike says, walking over to the ball.

COMMANDO APP DISENAGED! Chase was back.

"Wait! Where am I? And am I wearing a jockstrap?" Chase asks turning back to his siblings.

"Oh, no. It's Chase. We need Spike back! Where is he? Where is Spike?" Bree snaps, hitting the side of Chases football helmet.

"Hey, let's go! We don't have all day!" Trent shouts from the other side of the field.

"Time out!" Leo shouts, forcing Perry to blow the whistle.

"I told you. I don't wanna be Spike. Look, I've been waiting for my first day of school for 15 years. And now I don't even remember it." Chase sighs.

"When you put it that way, I just feel selfish." Leo says, feeling incredibly guilty.

"Yeah." Bree says.

"Oh, come on! Snap out of it! I wanna win!" Adam shouts, shoving his brother.

"No, he's right." Leo says.

"Come on, guys, we can still win this thing. And even if we don't, what do we have to lose?" Chase says, trying to boost the teams morale.

"Our table." Adam says.

"Popularity." Bree adds.

"Everything." Leo says.

"Come on! We playing football or we playing putt-putt?" Trent mocks.

"Here's what we're gonna do. I'll do a flea-flicker toss to you." Leo says pointing to Chase.

"And I'll use my mathematical analysis to throw the perfect pass." Chase says.

"Adam, assume the position." Leo orders.

"All right, this is the last time I'm doing this." Adam groans, getting into position to hike the ball.

"Ready? Hike!" Leo shouts passing the ball to Chase and running further outfield. "Chase! Over here!" Leo shouts holding his arms out to catch the ball.

"Chase! I'm open! Throw it to me!" Bree shouts.

"Don't throw it to her! Throw it to me!" Adam shouts, shoving Bree out of the way.

"Chase! Over here!"

"Chase! I'm open!"

"Throw it!" Leo shouts.

All the stress scrambles up Chases mathematical analysis making it almost impossible to see, let alone throw the ball.

"It's all big scribbles!" Chase shouts, his knees trembling in fear.

The football players run over to Chase and knock him onto his feet, bundling on top of his small frame.

"Game over! Dingoes win!" Perry cackles blowing the whistle.

"Yeah! See ya at the cafeteria, Alpha Duds! Oh! And the pudding's on you." Trent chuckles running off with the rest of the team.

Adam, Bree and Leo run over to Chase and help him up, groaning in defeat.

"Well, we may not be the Alpha Dogs anymore, but at least we still have each other. We're not total nobodies." Chase says, trying to find something good about the situation.

"No, we are total nobodies." Leo sighs.

"Hey, where did Mia go?" Bree asks.

"She's over there." Adam says pointing over to the corner of the field, where Mia's passed out on the floor.

"Sugar crash. Been there, done that." Leo chuckles.

"Ok everyone grab a limb." Adam says walking over to his little, and frankly crazy, sister.

They may have lost the game, but they still have eachother. And thats all they really need.
