Mal held the wand and walked closer to Uma. "Hold up"Uma said stopping Mal. "Too easy, give it test drive, we want to see it work" Umasaid.

Evie and Carlos shared a look. "You always were quite the drama queen" Mal said.

"And nothing to big or else Ben is fish bait" Uma said. Mal looked at Ben who was being held over the water.  Mal looked back at her team before turning to Dude.

Jade's hand was shaking so Jay grabbed it. Jade looked at him but he was the scene in front of them. Jade sighed to herself before doing the same.

"Okay" She got ready. "Although it seems absurd, turn your bark into a word" Mal lied before moving the wand as if it were an actual spell.

The dog sat there Mal looked back at Uma before looking back at the dog. "Talk dog" Mal said. "Does this vest make me look fat?" Dude whispered.

The crew laughed and Uma's face lightened. Uma laughed. "Give me the wand" She yelled. "Give me Ben!" Mal yelled back.

"Harry, bring him over" Uma said. "Tell your mom my dad said hi also tell your dad my dad said he wishes he finished off your dad when he had the chance" Gil said as Harry was walking with Ben.

Harry threw Ben down as Ben fell to his knees. Mal and Uma put their hands out. "Cut him loose Harry" Uma said.

"I never get to have any fun" Harry said Mal grabbed Ben's hand as Uma grabbed the wand before they switched off.

Mal pulled Ben up before they started to run. Jade grabbed the swords as a scream struck through. "Now!" Jade yelled.

Carlos threw the smoke bomb as it hit most of the crew. Jade threw the swords to everyone before looking for Jay.

"Jay!" Jade called out. "Right here" Jay said. Jade looked over and saw a crew member in front of him. She threw the sword which he caught before she heard laughing behind her.

"Long time nay see princess" Harry said in his thick accent. Jade turned around to face Harry with the sword in her hand.

"Not long enough Hook" Jade said. "How would you-" "Enough talking" Jade said before striking her sword.

Hary blocked it with his own sword as they started to battle. Harry tried to strike for her feet but Jade hopped back before bumping into the pillar behind her.

Harry held the sword up to her neck as she was trying to gain back a stable vision. "What are you gonna do Hook? Kill me?" Jade said.

"You dont see me with a sword to the neck now do ye love?" Harry asked. Jade whistled and Harry looked at her confused.

"Calling your little guard dog who can talk?" Harry asked. "Nope, calling my boyfriend who can kill you" Jade said before stepping on his foot.

Harry groaned and Jade ducked from the sword as Jay came over. "Two against one I like the odds" Jay said.

Jade smirked before they both began to fight Harry. Jade ended up swiping his hook and wanting over to the end of the stand.

"Come and get it" Jade taunted. Harry turned and ran over to the hook before Jade dropped it in the ocean. Harry dove right into the water.

"Good job, come on" Jay said as he grabbed her hand and they ran. Jay and Jade met up with Carlos and Evie.

"Guys start the car" Carlos said. "We'll meet you guys there" Evie said. They nodded before they ran. Jade grabbed the sword bag as they ran past and into the tunnel.

Hurrying into the limo a few moments later the others arrived.

"I'll get these back to the gym" Lonnie said. Jade nodded before Lonnie walked away. Evie walked up to Jade with Mal.

"We need to talk" Evie said. "Yeah" Mal said. Jade nodded as they started to walked away. "No" Carlos said.

They turned around to see him and Jay. "What?" Jade asked. "You guys are always going off in a huddle, whispering your girl talk stuff or whatever..and Jay and I are tired of it" Carlos confronted.

"I'm not" Jay said. Jade stifled a laugh. "We're your family too. We've been through a lot together. We're not stopping that now.Okay?" Carlos said.

Jade and Mal nodded. "Everyone sit" Carlos said before sitting down. "Come on" Carlos said. The others started to sit down before Jade sighed and sat down between Evie and Jay.

"I don't know how to start girl talk" Carlos said. Jay shrugged before speaking up. "What up?" He asked.

Evie let out a small laugh and Jade sighed. "Um well....I'm a mess, I'm such a mess" Mal's voice began to break.

"I mean 6 months ago I was stealing candy from babies and now everybody wants me to be this lady of the court and I have no idea how to keep up the act" Mal said containing her tears.

"Then don't" Carlos said. "See this was dumb" Jay said going to get up. "Maybe it wasn't" Evie said stopping him

"Jade?" Evie said. Jade looked up at her. "What about you?" Evie asked. Jade noticed all eyes on her.

"Jade is fine. I'm fine. I'm chillin like villain you know-" "Jade" Carlos said making her look at him. "It's just us" Carlos said.

Jade scoffed. "I'm all over the place" Jade said as tears formed in her eyes. "I feel like I just can't do anything right and I lash out on people. I have these nightmares and I feel like I'm just not being me." Jade said.

"Then be Jade" Jay said and Jade looked at him. "Just be yourself. No one can do that better than you. Be the Jade you've always been" Jay said.

Evie smiled before speaking up. "We're always gonna be the kids from the Isle. I tried to forget it. I really tried but those are our roots. And we all did what we had to do, survive, but it made us who we are. And we're never gonna be like anybody else here" Evie said.

Jade let out a small laugh. "Far from it" She said as the group laughed a little. "And that's okay" Evie said.

"And we can't fake it" Carlos said. "Yeah I mean especially without my spell book" Mal said. "Mal, if Ben doesn't love the real you then he's not the one" Carlos said.

"I like that" Evie said. "Give him a chance" Carlos said. "I'm gonna make some changes to your dresses. And if you're up for it only if you're up for it, it'll be waiting for you okay?" Evie said.

Mal and Jade nodded. Mal, Evie, Carlos, and Jay got up and started walking but Jay stopped as Jade was still sitting down.

Jay sat down next to her and sighed. "Come to Cotillion tonight. If that doesn't prove to you and you can't stand another day, I'll drive you back tomorrow myself" Jay said.

Jade nodded with a small smile. Jay kissed her head before walking aw
