It's day 2 of our trip. Tom will be staying at the hotel again, and Max is being dragged along. He tried running back to the hotel after seeing a cockroach the size of Penelope's ego. Tord told him to be a man. All Max said was, "I'll be a man in here!" And that was the end of it. He stayed with Tom again.

Me, Tord, Matt, and Edd head down to the café for breakfast. This place was super fancy for an Australian tourist hangout. Mr. Sergeo is a creepy guy. Tord and Edd may not believe it, but me and Matt are on the same page here. "Look! He's sneaking something out of his tux!" Matt alerts as we eat our food two tables away from him. Tord and Edd where talking to Mr. Fake and told us not to get into any trouble. But the only one who will be in trouble is that mysterious man and his Australian wanna be henchman. Okay that's two and not one. Whatever.

I watch closely as Weirdo McWacko pulls out a juice box. He happily drinks it and looks like a toddler all so. "Stranngggeee." I rub my chin all suspicious like. Matt writes what we've seen down on the notepad we stole from our hotel room. "We need more info! We shall use plan 1863! Talk to Weirdo McWacko!" 1863 isn't a real code. We just made up a bunch of numbers to sound like detectives.

Me and Matt straighten our clothes and strut over to Weirdo. Who was standing off to the side. Alone. Suspiciously. "Ehem. Good eve- I mean morning sir." I greet in my best adult voice. He stares for while before saying, "Good Morning little (lady/sir). How are you thus fine day?" His voice irritates me. It doesn't sound creepy or evil or weird. Dang it! "I'm fine. How about you?" He turns his attention out the window. "I'm good. Thank you for asking. And you gentleman. How are you?" He asks, referring to Matt.

"Perfect." He replies, stroking his formable chin. "Very swell. Is there something you two want? I know you didn't come here for morning greetings. Not to be rude of course. If you don't mind me asking." Everything about you is rude. "We wanted to know more about this organization." Matt says. Mr. Sergeo's expression changes a little. "Organization? What a strange way to put it. I just found that helping tourists around would be a fun and kind thing to do. So family and friends helped invest and, walla." I stopped listening after organization.

"Y/n! Matt!" Tord calls us over. "I guess you two should get going. You wouldn't want to miss the first trip." Me and Matt glare before catching up with Tord and Edd. "Was it fun being detectives?" Tord asks, teasing us. "Tord. Stop. Let them have their spotlight." Edd argues as we pile into the van. "I didn't steal it! It was a question." Edd gives Tord a look. "Sure." "It was!"  Tord tried arguing some more but Edd wasn't having it.

Soon 'Joey' comes on. "Good morning everyone!" Everyone says good morning. Everyone but me. "Today we'll be traveling to the Sydney Opera House! A very famous, blah blah blah." Ugh I should've stayed with Max and Tom. Then I could spy on Sergeo. But I think Tom is getting me sick. I sneeze, and Edd looks at me worryingly. "You okay, Y/n?" Edd asks, opening a can of cola. I nod to show I'm fine.

Out of nowhere Mei plops down in my seat. "Hi Y/n! Hiya hiya! Sleep well?" Today she's a different person. Bright and enthusiastic. Extroverted. Today I'm feeling the opposite. Glum and annoyed. I want to be left alone. And so does Matt. "Hi Mei. I slept okay. How abo-" "I had the best dream ever! So it's basically this fairy kingdom and I'm the queen and I'm about to get married to guess who!" I groan. "A man." "A man named Justin Bieber!!" Everything else she said was totally blocked from my ears.

Soon we arrive at Sydney. Its big and white. I'm sure you've seen it. Not in real life, but if you've watched nemo, you know what I'm talking about. "Seen it." Me and Matt say, walking back on the van. Tord and Edd stop us. "Oh no you don't. Tom and Max already ditched us. You two are coming with!" Edd says, dragging Matt along. I lay on the sidewalk, groaning. "Okay Tina. Let's go." Tord huffs, picking me up.  (Bob's Burger's reference)

'Joey' says some stuff and we walk in. I don't think anyone cares about what he has to say. I think they just care about what their at all together. And if they do care it's only so they can tell their friends the useless knowledge and seem smart. Not dissing Australia. It's pretty. Just huge bugs, 'Joey', Weirdo McWacko, and Mei are no's. "Through these halls there may be nothing, but even so, it's a beauty to see the way the light shines in." Next all I heard where OOS and AHS. I cringed. "These cringy people with their cringy ways at a cringy place on cringy days. It's true. Because it rhymes." I groan sitting on the cold floor. Matt came over and joined me. He stared at his reflection on the clean floors.

"Who pissed in your cereal?" Tord asked. Edd nudges him. "I didn't have cereal. I had biscuit." Edd picks me up. "Y/n, try to have fun, okay. It's a one in a life time experience. The plane ride would've been 10× longer if it weren't for the tourist company." I look up at him. "You mean Weirdo McWacko and Mr. Fakeroo over there? Lies. I SHALL NOT BE SCAMMED!!!" Tord sighs. "Here you go again."

Everyone's eyes are on me. "That's right folks! You're all being lied to! By this guy," I point at 'Joey'. "Fakeroo McKangeroo! He's not even Australian! He's just a cheap stereotype!!" Some people start to think over it. "Yeah, he does say mate a lot." One lady says. "Is your name even Joey? Or that part of the stereotype too?" A man questions.

"Maybe that kids right."

"Ugh, at least the hotel is nice."

"I have many Australian friends but you are a little, eh."

"Really? Scammers?! Geez."
"It's nice of you to show us around, but at least don't be fake. Be yourself dude."

'Joey' was obviously very overwhelmed by all the people. His attention shot to me. Uh oh. "You. YOU!" He walks over, and grabs me by my hoodie. One guy starts to record. "Because of you my secret is out! Because of you people are questioning my authority!
Because. Of. You. Everything is ruined! So what we took people's money!? So what I'm not Australian!? SO WHAT!? IT'S NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS!!!" I smirk. Tord taps on 'Joey's' shoulder. He freezes and drops me, and slowly turns around. Tord punches him in the face. 'Joey falls on the floor, blood on his face and floor. "Watch who you mess with buckaroo." Tord cracks his knuckles as Matt and Edd help me up.

The guy who recorded was covering his mouth in amazement. Security ran in and escorted 'Joey'. One of them stayed to keep everyone calm. "Everything will be fine. We'll get you all to the hotel and we'll deal something out. Please stay calm." She said, assuring some people. Edd was pissed. "I want a restraining order." I couldn't help but laugh. "Hah, me and Matt where right all along." We high-fived. Tord was on the phone. Sounded like he was talking to Tom. I could hear Tom's sick voice freak out over the phone. He made various threats and curses. Some I've never heard of.

In the end, we got back to the hotel. Sergeo acted as if he had nothing to do with the matter, and that 'Joey', who's real name is Dae-Hyun, is just an idiot. For some reason, the security people where stupid enough to fall for it. But I feel that it's something more than that. And I bet I'm wanted out of the picture now.

HAHA I WANNA SEE THOSE SUCKERS TRY!!!
