The Road To El Bro-rado

Meet Viva

Creek: To commemorate your arrival, propose a reverent ceremony at dawn.

Chief Peppy: Then perhaps, I could prepare a glorious feast for you tonight.

Creek: Which would you prefer?

Floyd and Ivy: Both?

Clay, JD, and Bruce: Both.

JD, Bruce, Clay, Floyd, Branch, and Ivy: Both! 

Floyd: Both is good.

Outside the temple...

Creek: And so dawn the Age Of The Jaguar, happy new year. *snickers*

Meanwhile...

Ivy: *wraps her arms around Clay and Bruce's shoulders* Hey.

John Dory: Hey, hey.

The siblings: *laugh*

Branch: *to the Wattpad readers* Why do I have to be the most reasonable one? 😑

Ivy: Branch, they actually think we're gods and demigodess!

John Dory: It's an entire city of suckers! We just gotta keep this up long enough to load up the gold and get the hell outta here!

Bruce: Guys, we'll be living like kings!

Ivy and Floyd: Hey! 😡

Bruce: *groans* And queens.

John Dory: JD and his siblings!

Clay: Clay and his siblings! Mighty and powerful...

All (-Branch): Gods! (Ivy: Demigodess!)

Viva: Hello...

All: *scream*

Branch: So much for mighty and powerful 😑 

Bruce: Depart, mortal, before we strike you with a lightning bolt.

Ivy: Beware the wrath of the gods and demigodess, BEGONE!!! *makes a weird clicking noise*

Viva: Save it for the high priest, sweetie, you're gonna need it.

Ivy: *continues making a noise* 

Clay: Ives, it's not working, sis, we've been caught.

*Ives is their nickname for Ivy* 

Viva: Oh, don't worry about me, guys, "my only wish is to serve and gods and demigodess", remember?

Branch: How?

Viva: Well, if you guys want the gold, then you don't want to get caught, right? You're gonna need my help. 

Ivy: *scoffs* What makes you think we need YOUR help?

Viva: 😑 *imitates Ivy's clicking noise* Are you serious?

Bruce: Okay, so, uh, who are you?

Clay: Yeah, what's your angle?

Viva: No angle, I want in.

Clay: "in"?

Viva: On the scam.

Clay: What? There's no scam, why would you think there's a...why?

Viva: So I can get out.

Floyd: I thought she said she wanted in.

Bruce: She wants IN so she can get OUT.

Floyd: Got it, why?

Viva: Think you're the only ones who think of better things? Of adventure? You've got your reasons...and I've got mine. Let's not make it personal, okay? It's just business.

The Siblings: Oh.

Viva: So when you're ready to go back to wherever you came from, I'm going with you.

Clay: *laughs* No, don't think so.

Viva: Alright, fine. After all, I'm sure you know all the proper rituals for blessing a tribute, the holiest days on the calendar, oh, and of course you know all about Xibalba. Okay? Good luck, see you at the execution.

 Clay: *gibberish* Wait, hold it.

Viva: *laughs* Deal?

Ivy: Deal.

Clay: Not yet. let's just see how this works out.

Viva: Uh huh, and I suppose you'll want these back? *hands out the dice from before in her hands*

John Dory: Where'd you get those?

Floyd: Where was she keeping them?

Viva: Call me Viva, your new partner!

Clay: That's partner in training!

Viva: *hands them clothing* Put these on, your public's waiting!

Clay: You mind?

Viva: No. Oh, oh, oh! Right, excuse me. Bye!
