"I truly regret falling for Hannah's fabrications about you and Steven," Evan admits.
"Don't worry about it. This is just typical for her. She often spins tales to her friends about us and then eggs them on to mock us. Sadly, we've learned to live with it. You seem genuinely nice and considerate. Steven and I can count on you, right?" Andy replies.
"Absolutely. I have no intention of being unkind to you or Steven. That's just not who I am," Evan assures him.
"Great," Andy responds. "By the way, Hannah, I'm planning to tell Dad everything."
"You better not!" Hannah protests.
"Why should I heed a spoiled brat like you?" Andy retorts. "He'll find out and you'll face serious consequences when we get home."
"Is everything alright over here, Andy?" Logan inquires as he approaches them. "I noticed you and Steven weren't shopping around the store."
"Wait, are you Logan Mitchell from Big Time Rush?" Evan exclaims, taken aback.
"Yes, that's me. Nice to meet you," Logan replies with a smile.
"Nice to meet you too! Hannah, do you actually know a celebrity? Because he's really well-known," Evan asks, eyes wide.
"Yeah," Hannah lies.
Rolling his eyes, Andy scoffs. "Another tall tale. Steven and I are friends with him. He and the rest of BTR can't stand you."
"Seriously, Hannah, how many more lies are you going to tell me?" Evan says, disappointment evident in his voice.
"What's happening here?" Logan asks, looking puzzled.
"A lot, Logan. A whole lot," Andy sighs.
Logan raised an eyebrow, his voice laced with disbelief. 'Hannah really stirred up a huge mess, didn't she?'
'Absolutely,' Andy replied, his tone flat.
As they spoke, Hannah, Andy, and Steven's dad approached, his face a storm of disappointment and anger aimed squarely at her. 'You've hit strike three, Hannah. I'll get your brothers that Lego set, but it's going to cost you. At 500, that's a hefty chunk of your allowance! Do you think I just carry that kind of cash around? I'll have to swing by an ATM to get the money! You're in serious trouble! You should be grateful I'm keeping my cool in this busy store, because once we're home, I'm going to unleash my frustration on you! I warned you repeatedly today to treat your brothers kindly, and you promised you would, but you deceived me! You know how much I detest lying! It's a despicable quality. I'm beyond furious and appalled by the falsehoods you told your classmate. Andy has anger issues and disrespects your mother and me? Since when?! You fabricated a story about Steven being in a pretend car accident that left him blind and mute, with Tyson as his guide dog?! Seriously?! And the most outrageous part is you claimed that Steven's autism makes him prone to violent outbursts at strangers?! He's one of the most polite and calm kids I know, and you're fully aware of that! How can you continue to misrepresent your brothers to your friends after your mom and I have repeatedly asked you to stop? And why are you still embarrassed by Steven's autism? That's a part of him that will never change! I'm utterly exasperated with your cruel and indifferent attitude toward your brothers! Just fed up!"
