The small isle of Counterfeit was bustling with things to do. The three siblings passed a failing artist, trying to sell his paintings at a ridiculously high price. They walked briskly past two mimes, careful not to make eye contact. There was one thing they were all interested in though. A tour of the underground tunnels beneath the streets of Counterfeit. Granted they lived underground, but not in 200-year old caverns held up by pillars and prayers. Smart checked his pockets, but they had only brought enough credits for three tickets to the museum. "Sorry guys," Smart apologized. "We just don't have enough." Sadly, they walked away. Grey saw something out of the corner of his eye, sticking out of a trash can. Walking closer, Grey discovered two tickets. Grey was extremely happy, but it seemed wrong to just take them. He did so nevertheless. Walking back, Grey tapped on Smart's shoulder. "Psst." Smart turned to look at him. "Hm?" "I got tickets." This definitely made Smart suspicious. "How?" "I dunno. They were just lying in the trash over there." A small grin broke onto Smart's face. "You rooted through the garbage for tickets?!" "Well, yeah. What else was I supposed to do?" Smart broke out laughing. " If you want to go that bad, we can just use a check!"
