Austin (Into the Mild)/Story

==Story==
===Season 7===
===="Into the Mild"====
When Bob Belcher comes to Outdoor Adventure World for its store closing sale to browse the store's selection of marked-down items ahead of the upcoming closure, Austin eagerly tries to help the Belcher. However, Bob doesn't want to talk to Austin, so he shuts himself in a tent, which he unintentionally falls asleep in, making him miss the sale and also get stuck in the store.
When Bob tries shouting in the warehouse to get someone outside's attention to free him, Austin surprises him by showing that he has been in the store the entire time. The former employee reveals that he is living there as he sacrificed a month's rent to pay for an Appalachian Trail trip he told Bob about previously. He tries to assist Bob in escaping by activating the burglar alarm, which a security guard immediately shuts off, thinking that it's a false alarm as there are no signs of a break-in.
Austin then suggests they climb up to the skylight so Bob can break the glass and then escape via the fire escape. It fails when the knots Austin ties slip due to his inexperience with climbing, reiterating that he has only demoed the store's items rather than used them. That leaves him dangling upside down.
Austin soon reveals that he, like Bob, isn't an outdoorsman, only having dreams of being one, and that he planned the trip because Lisa, a former coworker in the cycling department who he has a crush on, is also going.
After Bob escapes and gets help, they rescue Austin, and he and Bob plan to go shopping together next weekend.
