The Queen and Her King

The Isle

Brielle POV

A small beeping sound was heard, we all looked in the direction of it and sure enough, it was the 3D printer telling us it had finished its masterpiece. We all smiled in awe at the beautiful creation in the glass case,

"So Bri, you've seen the wand plenty of times. How'd we do?"

Jay said as he took it from the case and handed it to me. I carefully took it and spun it around some,

"Its eerily perfect, now there's no time to lose. Jay, head down to the gym and grab some sabers just in case, Carlos and I will go start up the limo, meet us there as quickly as you can. And when I say make haste I mean it"

With that I handed the wand back to him, Jay put the fake wand into a duffle bag and we all left at almost the same time, Jay getting a bit of a head start,

"Hey what about me?"

Dude yelled, I jumped some as I already forgot he could talk. Carlos turned back around as Jay began his run to the gym,

"No Dude, it's too dangerous. Stay, I'm serious sit and stay"

Dude whined and laid down, giving Carlos puppy dog eyes,

"I love you, we'll be back before you know it"

Carlos said as he zipped up his jacket right before the two of us headed out with haste, running all the way down to the courtyard we had to go through to get to the limo.

Carlos and I ran through the double doors closest to where the limos were, and as soon as we turned onto the gravel path we were met with quite the obstacle,

"Oh hey guys, have you seen Evie? And... Brielle, why are you dressed like a pirate?"

Doug said as he looked at me beyond bewildered. Carlos stammered to answer but I took it over as I am a pretty excellent liar if I decide to try hard enough,

"Well number one, Evie went out-"

"Camping!"

Carlos interrupted. Dammit, now this will be fun to work with. Doug furrowed his brow,

"Evie, Miss I-wanna-live-in-a-castle, sleeping on the ground with no place to plug in a blow dryer?"

I snorted and decided to laugh it off some to calm the nerves,

"Oh, you know Evie, little miss spontaneous. She told me she just wanted to get in touch with nature to formulate some new designs, some with more flowy lines and floral details, that sort of thing"

Good job Brielle, you saved it.

I thought to myself as he seemed to buy it,

"Oh that makes more sense"

"Besides, I saw her take an entire blow up king size mattress with her, she's honestly glamping rather than camping"

Doug smiled some and nodded,

"I see, I was going to say that seems a little out of character for her, but now I get it"

He said with a chuckle, I joined him in laughter to really sell the story,

"Yeah, and as for my little outfit here, it's for Harry"

Now that wasn't a lie, but the way I said it was misleading you see. It's a good trick, tell part of the truth but casually leave the important part out. I shrugged some with a smile. He slowly nodded,

"I like the change of style going on, very sophisticated for a pirate costume"

I casually grabbed Carlos's elbow and started backing away,
