Things Aren't Always As They Seem

When I woke up, I was back in my bunk. Strange... I heard some voices out in the living room, but they were too mumbled together for me to tell exactly who it was. I got up and messed with my hair, then walked out to where the voices were. It was only the BVB guys, Momma Juliet, and Austin.

"Mornin, Sleeping Beauty. Glad you could finally join us again." Austin smirked.

"Oh hush! I'm confused as to what happened...? The last I remember, I passed out back on the Of Mice bus." I said, sitting down on Uncle Ashy's lap. He chuckled and wrapped his arms around my waist, resting his head on my shoulder gently.

"Uh... I carried you back here after your snores interrupted my ramblings." Austin said smugly. "You've only been asleep for a few hours, though."

"I do NOT snore!!!!" I exclaimed.

"Yes you do!!" Austin said back.

"No I don't!"

"You really do, babe." Uncle Ashy giggled from behind me.

Austin stuck his tongue out at me in triumph. I mocked him, then rolled my eyes and pouted slightly, him laughing.

"Aw, come oonn, little Biersack! Ashley! Tickle her!" Austin yelled.

"OH FOR FUCK'S SAKE!!" I squealed out as Uncle Ashy viciously tickled my sides and I squirmed around in his hold. "Daddy Andy!!!!"

"Ashley..." Daddy Andy warned.

He held his arms up and leaned back in surrender. "Sorry, HK buddy!"

"'HK buddy'? Cute!" I giggled and snuggled into him as an "it's okay" gesture. He re-wrapped his arms around me and grinned.

"Sorry Andilena..." Austin reluctantly apologized after about five minutes of Daddy Andy and Momma Juliet glaring at him.

"Is okay, Austin!" I giggled. "You don't have to keep glaring at him, guys." Daddy Andy and Momma Juliet backed off and smiled at me. I grinned back. "So, did anyone come up with a plan?" I asked shyly.

"Yeah, actually we did." Uncle Jake smiled at me from across the room.

"Uh... so do I get to know this plan?" I laughed nervously.

"Not yet, sweetheart." Uncle Jinxx grinned.

"Uhm... okay...?" I said, snuggling into Uncle Ashy some more. "When do I get to know, then?"

Austin looked like he was going to answer, but was interrupted by a knock on the door. He got up and opened it, letting whoever it was inside almost immediately. Odd...

"Did you tell her the plans yet?" I heard Vic ask. Wait, Vic?

"Vic!!!" I exclaimed, smiling up at him.

"Hey!" He chuckled, sitting next to Uncle Ashy and I. I leaned forward and hugged him tightly, him hugging back tighter.

"No one's told her yet." Uncle CC said as I leaned back on Uncle Ashy.

"Good. I'm sorry, darling, but it looks like you're just going to have to wait until the cookout. That's only a half hour away." Vic smirked.

"Ugh...fiiinnnneeee..." I whined. "I'm gonna go get ready, then, I guess."

I stood up and went back to the bunks, going through my suitcase for an outfit. I heard someone follow me back here, and I looked up, only to be met with Vic grinning down at me.

"Hey," I laughed.

"Hey," he smiled, bending down and giving me a quick kiss, then pulled back before someone could walk back and see. "Whatcha thinkin' bout wearing?" He asked softly.

"Dunno...indecisive. What do you think I should wear, love?"

"Um... how about this dress," he said, picking up a red and black flannel printed dress with random pointless zippers on it that were sewn open with lace peaking out of it, "your leather vest, and these flats?" He picked up my vest and some flats.

"Good idea, thanks babe." I said, laughing softly.

"No problem," he chuckled.

I picked up the clothes Vic suggested I wear and went into the bathroom. I changed, loosely pulled my hair up into a ponytail with a few random strands hanging down, and did my black and grey smoky eye makeup. I went back out and cuddled up to Austin, him wrapping his arm around me and pulling me closer so that my head was laying on his chest.

"When can we leave?" I whined softly, making Austin chuckle next to me.

"Now, if you want." As soon as Daddy Andy said that, I jumped up excitedly.

"Let's go then!" I cheered, making everyone chuckle at me.
