## Plot

Isaac pulls into the Foster's driveway and picks Austin up for a game of Paintball they have planned with a few other friends. Austin has his hair in a man bun and is wearing a baggy sweatshirt to hide the residual swelling in his chest, but Isaac doesn't seem to notice it too much. The friends drive off to start their day and they agree to stop at a dinner for breakfast to kill time before paintball. Isaac mentions how he met a girl at a party the other night by the name of Alyssa who he assumes is now one of Austin's neighbors as he had to drop her off on the same street that night. Austin plays it off and mentions how she is a nice girl who he's known a long time.

At the Dinner Austin and Isaac are both talking about school and Austin's play witch he's told Isaac is at another school as a cover since *he* won't be appearing in the play at their school. The two friends talk a bit more but then Isaac accidently spills coffee on Austin's sweatshirt. Isaac apologizes and offers to take it to the bathroom to try and rinse it out before the stain sets and offers Austin his hoodie instead. Austin reluctantly removes his sweatshirt but once he is only in his tank top Isaac easily notices the swelling left in his chest and is a bit freaked out saying how it looks like Austin has small boobs. Austin calms him down and explains saying how he's using Sili-Gel to appear as a girl for their play to secure a Scholarship to RQU and how he is actually Alyssa from the party the other night. Isaac is shocked at first but admires Austin's determination for a scholarship and his acting skills. Isaac also realizes why he both didn't remember Alyssa yet felt something familiar about her. Austin asks Isaac to keep his secret and apologizes for seeming like Alyssa was catfishing him. He happily agrees but expresses concern about how Austin seems to be experiencing residual swelling so bad with his chest looking like a solid A or B cup. Austin still insists he hopes it will go away once he stops using Sili-Gel completely and Isaac drops the issue.

A few minutes later the waitress comes over to take their orders and due to Austin's chest and longer hair she mistakes him for a girl and to avoid a scene he uses his Alyssa voice to order. Isaac quickly recognizes it and is in awe of how convincing Austin is, but Austin is a bit off set by being mistake for a girl when he's not in character. Austin then talks to Isaac about how after rehearsal next week he'll have several hours to kill stuck as Alyssa and asks if Isaac wants to hang out with him/her since he's in on the secret now. Isaac agrees and seems to struggle not to call it a date.
