The Parent Trap {Jariana}

{ｎｏ ｎｏ ｗｅ ｗｏｎｔ ｇｏ}

Back at the Stafford hotel the next morning, Ariana was paying for the Grande's stay and her brother watched over her shoulder as she conducted her business.

"All set, where's Avia?" she asked Frankie who was straightening his collar.

"I just called, she's on her way down," he said in a muffled voice as he continued trying to straighten his collar.

"Okay, so I'll uh... send Avia back to you over Christmas." Jai said as he and Luke joined Ariana and Frankie at the front desk. Miley and Zac were a few feet away having their own private goodbyes.. with their tongues.

"And I'll see that Avia spends Easter with you." Ariana nodded and put on a brave face despite the crestfallen looks of the other three adults with her. The elevator dinged and Jai and Ariana looked on as the twins approached both wearing the same blouses - one in pink, one in orange. Their hair was done the same exact way, both wearing pink and orange head bands.

"Avia, what are you doing in those clothes we've got a plane to catch?" Ariana said with a small amused smile and a raised eyebrow at her daughter's outfit.

"Here's the deal Mom, we thought it over and decided that we're being totally jipped."

"Dad promised that we're gonna go on a camping trip. And we wanna go, together."

"What camping trip?" Jai frowned at them.

"The one we go on every summer before school starts."

"Avia, this is ridiculous. Go on upstairs and put your clothes on." Ariana said sternly but the two girls stubbornly stood their ground.

"Are you sure I'm Avia?"

"Well of course I'm sure!" Ariana exclaimed becoming irritated. She liked to think she knew her own daughter.

"But its kinda hard being one hundred percent positive, isn't it?"

"Girls, this is totally un-funny. You're going to make us all miss our flights." Jai joined in with his own stern voice and both twins smiled at each other.

"Avia!" Ariana exclaimed in irritation.

"Yes?" the twins answered together with identical mischievous smiles.

Jai put his hands on his knees and bent in level with the girls. He looked at each of them carefully as if studying an experiment.

"This one's Emmi," he said triumphantly pointing at one of the girls with a knowing smile, "I'm positive."

"Oh I hope you're right Dad, because you wouldn't wanna send the wrong kid all the way back to New York."

"Would you?" the twins smiled mischievously at their confused parents.

Miley couldn't help but giggle, making the twin girls turn and smile at her, and Ariana send her a dirty look, basically saying, 'Don't encourage them.' She immediately stopped and shoved her hair in her mouth to stop from laughing at her confused friends.

Jai stood back up with a look that told the beginnings of a migraine.

"Here's our proposition:" one of the twins stepped up and looked at her sister as she cleared her throat, motioning her over before looking back at her parents. "we go back to dads house, pack our stuff and the eight of us go camping."

"The eight of us?" Ariana exclaimed as if it was the most preposterous thing she'd heard.

"And when you bring us back, we'll tell you who's Emmi - and who's Avia."

"Or... You do as we say and I take one of you back with me to New York whether you like or not." Ariana said knowing deep in her heart, that she and Jai lost the battle.
