A/N: here's the next part, yayyyyyy (even though it's a bit short) :) comment/vote please!!!!

Mr. Swindell pulls up in his old beat up car, the paint chipping off to reveal a nasty rust.  He exits the car and looks around with a coy smirk on his face, tossing his keys to the valet worker than came up to him.

"Don't scratch it.", he says as he walks towards the entrance of the hotel, the worker just looking at him like he's crazy before entering the car.

Just before he's able to walk through the front doors, Camila and Louis walk up to him in their costumes that make them look like foreigners, and they block his way.

"Excuse'n sir.", Camila says in a foreign accent.  "We are looking for de Nelson's.  We have papa's toy to sell.  Can you help us?"

"I don't know where they are, now move out of my way.", Swindell says while pushing past him.  Camila shares a glance with Louis before she quickly thinks up of something.

"That's too bad.  We hear de toy is worth a lot of dollars.", she says, continuing to use the same accent.  Swindell's ears catch on the word 'dollars', and he turns to face the two.

"Yah, moneys.", Louis says, copying Camila's accent.

"Worth a lot of money you say?", Swindell asks, and the two of them nod.  "Uhm, you know what, I'll take a look at it, see if it's worth the Nelsons' time."  Louis slightly smirks at Camila as he hands the Captain Cybertor box over to the con man.

He opens the box and pulls out the action figure, his eyes immedietly buldging out once he sees the red hair.  "Oh.  A, uh, red-haired Captain Cybertor.", he says.

"Yah.  Is it worth any moneys?", Louis asks.

"Uhhhh...it would be...if the hair were blue.", he says, and Camila and Louis already know that he's taken the bait.

"Blue?", Camila asks, tilting her head to the side to act confused.

"Yeah.  The red ones are practically worthless."

Jade opens the tub of 'creme' that was in her breifcase, and starts to slab it onto Jesy's face, making sure to cover every part of it.  "Okay, now just a little more...", she says as she finishes placing some on the older girl's nose.

She steps back to observe her work, and she smiles when she sees that she's done her job...except for the girl's lips.

"Okay, now we just wait for the rejuvinating agents to...uh...rejuvenate....", she says, wanting to slap herself at how stupid she sounds.

"Wait, but that doesn't make any s-", Jesy says, starting to become suspicious.

"Uh-uh-uh!", Jade says as she quickly wipes some of the creme onto Jesy's lips, forcing them closed.  "No talking...no moving...", she says while she sets the timer in the breifcase.  She puts one last dash of the creme on Jesy's face, then smiles at her work.  "There you go."

"Worth-less?", Louis asks, and Mr. Swindell pinches the bridge of his nose with his thumb and forefinger.

"YES!  Worthless!"

"Flugen...", Louis says, tilting his head down in fake dissapointment.

Camila is quick to place a hand on his back, rubbing small circles.  "Jorgen hast dissapointment...", she says, trying not to show that she has no clue what she just said.

"Oh yeah.  You know what, I like you kids, and I'd hate to see you go home to your father empty handed.", he says as he reaches into his pocket to grab his wallet, not seeing the subtle smirk that Camila and Louis send each other.  "How about I take that off your hands for about...oh, let's say...10 dollars?"
