We appear on the Isle of the Lost. Home at last! I clutch onto papa in fear.
"Ugh! What is this hideous place?" Audrey scoffs.
"My home." Mal looks around.
"We're on The Isle of the Lost? Eww! Ben! Save me!" Audrey starts to freak out.
"Now I know why they say: be careful what you wish for." Mal makes me snigger.
"I have forgotten how bad the city's drainage system is. These seriously need better catch-basins." Evie says. I do the wolf whistle.
"Really?" Mal looks at her.
"I'm taking Sustainable Urban Planning this semester." Evie smiles.
"I've forgotten about the place that made me have the worst years of my life." I sigh. I walk over to some bones. "Mama?" I kick the bones. "Mama?" I look up at the building. "Papa's old house." I gasp. "Mama!" I grab the bones.
"Shay." Evie walks over to me.
"These are my mama's bones." I put them in a nearby bag. It's a really cute tiger fur bag.
"Does it say where we are?" Audrey asks.
"Thanks to my dad...there's no service here." Ben pulls out his phone.
"So we can't even find a way out of here?! Can we even selfie?" Audrey takes a selfie. She's lucky her hair is normal. "Okay, this place needs so many filters."
"So does your face!" I shout to her.
"What's wrong with my face?" Audrey gasps.
I walk over to her. "It's uglier than mine. And I'm blind in one eye." I point to my white eye. Someone bumps into us.
"Uh, excuse me, ma'am. You dropped...my wallet." Ben picks up the wallet.
"We should find a place to hide." Evie says.
"Uh, yeah. Before anybody sees we're here. There!" Mal points to a small building.
"How are we supposed to get there? There's mud everywhere!" Audrey says in disgust.
"I'll just throw my jacket over the-" Ben is interrupted by Mal.
"Why would you cover up such a perfect puddle of mud?" Mal starts to jump in the mud.
"Liking mud is not a VK thing. It's a Mal thing." Evie smiles.
"Are you sure?" I smirk.
"No." We join her. Ben drags us into the shop.
"You're no fun." I huff.
"Wait. Is this place even open? 'Store hours: Whenever we feel like it.'" Ben looks at the sign.
"Look at all of this junk!" Mal opens a book. "Oh! Dictatorship for Beginners!"
Evie looks into a mirror. "It's so beautiful. Don't get jealy."
"Figures! The only remotely interesting item here would be on the must-go rack." Audrey sees a necklace. "What's this?! It's beautiful."
A familiar face walks in. "Are you stealing that?"
"It was hanging with the dress. I would never steal." Audrey doesn't realise who she's talking to.
"I mean, why are you stealing that when you could be stealing this? It's way cuter. Go ahead! Take it." She gives Audrey a cuter jewellery.
"No, I can't. That's wrong."
"That's the whole point. It's what we do here. Go on, take it."
"Oh, no." Evie says.
"Oh, no what?" Ben looks at us.
"It's Freddie." Mal looks at him.
"Freddie? Short for Frederique?"
"Short for 'Let's blow this voodoo stand.'" Mal smirks.
"Freddie!" I squeal.
