THEY'RE SO BAD AT LYING

( * ˚ ˑ༄ؘ ✦ )

ONE MAY THINK WORKING FOR TWO SUPERHEROES IS EXCITING—the thrill, the adventures, the gadgets, etc. it's true; it's pretty fun. sometimes. but more often than not the two so-called superheroes are doing something incredibly stupid. ray and henry—or captain man and kid danger, if you will—are doing a photoshoot for the swellview calendar. aurora had to put on a bathing suit and hold a surfboard as she walked in place in the background. lucky charlotte called 'not it' when ray asked which one of them wanted to wear the bathing suit.

"okaaaay. just a few more," schwoz said as he continued taking pictures. ray had a frisbee and a towel over his shoulder while henry was holding a beach ball and wearing a flower behind his ear.

"oh hey! wave to the girls! hey look at all those hot girls on the beach!" ray waved at nothing. "hi girls!"

"hey girls," henry said, not so enthusiastically.

"come on, get into it," ray encouraged.

"what? i am," henry insisted.

"you wanna get into showing in front of the girls. hey girls!"

"alright, you're embarrassing me in front of girls that don't exist," henry exclaimed.

"ah, c'mon! show me some emotion!" schwoz told. "give me some feels baby!"

"yeah, c'mon henry— we're on the beach in hawaii!" ray smiled.

"no, we're not," henry sighed. "i feel dumb."

"hey. do you have any idea how many people wish that they were gonna be featured in the new swellview calendar?" ray asked.

aurora lowered the surfboard and held it to her side, "well then go find them. i don't wanna do this anymore."

"hey look everybody, aurora's complaining— that's fresh," ray said sarcastically. henry laughed but immediately shut his mouth when he saw the glare aurora was giving him.

"i'll zap both of you," aurora threatened.

the alarm started beeping from the monitors. "hey.. hotline call," henry announced.

"yeah. schwoz, charlotte, aurora, get over there so you won't be seen," ray said.

"kk," schwoz removed the backdrop and moved the equipment to the side. aurora started walking over to charlotte when all of a sudden she felt a towel on her head, making her vision go dark. "ray!" she yelled out.
