And then that happened. Gavin's pointed look and Emily's throat clearing and reaaaallyy? Really Avery? He couldn't have figured that for himself. Hmph.

"Eeerr... see... what it is..." he started, his hands waving in circles as he spoke. "We're running an advertisement campaign!" he decided. "We dress up with stuff, and go promote it in the street." It sounded legit to him, it was all about marketing, and really, who WOULDN'T want to buy a mustache after seeing theirs? He contemplated giving Gavin his Frenchman's mustache, but he already had the facial hair thing going on, and really, the product wasn't targeting his demographic. Nope. Emily would hex him into next week if he tried, but there was still someone he could win over. "Miss Avery, would you be interested in a fantastic and non-itchy mustache? We got it especially for you..." mmhhmm.. sorta, kinda. Zeke removed it from his pocket and presented it to her with a flourish of his hands... inching. just. a. little. bit. closer. The intention HAD been there to make sure they took something back for her, maybe. Ahem. At least, it was his intention. He was done with his part, now it was Ashley's turn to back him up and make it legit.




Avery was on the money with her statement, the two were in serious trouble indeed - but the extent to how serious was yet to be determined.

"Hhmm."

Her eyebrows may have risen sharply at Zeke's declaration, but soon fell back into place. She wasn't buying it. So she wasn't even going to question the who, what, when, where, why or how... it was clear - they were having a free for all and running amok. She only hoped they at least had the decency to purchase what they wore. Save for the clothes, she knew there wasn't a snowflakes chance in hell they had enough money for that.

Emily turned her head to Gavin briefly, gauging his initial reactions to this too. Ashley was yet to speak, and if she was smart... she'd out with the truth and put an end to this charade.


The hat fell from Ashley's hand as she stood staring at the two. Definitely deer in the headlights moment here, mirroring Zeke's. Sure she expected to be caught, but not yet and not like this. Somehow, she also expected them to be smiling when they busted them. Pats on the back for being clever enough to get away from them earlier. No? Okaaaay.

The 9 year old melted a little at her sister's words. Trouble. Yeah...thanks Avery. She so couldn't tell from the looks and the throat clearing. This was where they told the tru--

dshvbfkjehsgvfjyreywefgwey!! ZEKE!!!! Ashley's eyes shot to his so she could get a proper look at him. He didn't. He didn't except she couldn't deny that he did. She bit her lip, waiting for him to be done but no he was pulling Avery into this and not being a very smart cookie. Did he not see there was no way out of this for them? They were doomed the moment her Uncle gave her that look and she knew it. Times like this she wished she was Avery, a couple tears and they'd have been golden. She had to tell the truth...but then what if he never went on adventures with her again?? Eh.....they were in trouble anyway, might as well back him up, keep a friend, they were good for suffering through punishment with. "We're hard at work, gonna get a couple galleons when this is all over." Then she quickly looked to Avery because this was dangerous stuff here. "Got you a beard too." Only by accident. She'd picked up a third while rushing.

"So if you'll excuse us we've got to get back to promoting or they'll think we're fooling around." With that she took Zeke's hand and attempted to side-step the two. As if it'd work >______<


........

Zeke was officially disregarded for the moment. He couldn't have thought either he or Emily would have fallen for something so poorly constructed. He'd seen Avery tell a better constructed lie...usually with the help of tears but they were convincing nonetheless. Looking around the changing room he could see a pile of clothes thrown about. Clothes they made plans to pay for? Highly unlikely.

Gavin's eyes never left Ashley even when she looked away. He was counting on at least one of them being smart enough to tell the truth in this obvious bust. He taught his niece logic--forget logic, he told her to never take the fall with anyone. Surely she knew this would go better for her if she came clean...or not. He caught the look Emily was giving him and sighed. "One of them's an idiot, the other's a follower of an idiot." Until he could clarify who gave the initial plan to run he couldn't say which was which.

"Hold it." He said. Trusting Avery to be holding on tightly, he removed the hand he'd been using to support her and latched on to the 9 year old trying to make a poor escape. "Let's try this truth thing again, what'd you two say?"


"You got me a mustache?????" She asked, forgetting the initial hurt. They remembered her!! YAAAAAY!! "AND a mustache?? I get to play too?? What are we playing??" She wasn't getting off her Uncle's back until she was sure. What if their game wasn't that fun, huh? Leaning her head forward on her Uncle's shoulder she watched Ashley try leaving with Zeke. NO FAIR, how come they got to go? She would have asked but they got stopped so more watching for her.
