Not So Perfect

4 - Mal

"Okay everyone ready to go?" I said as they all looked at me, "Yep. I got all of our dresses', heels, tiaras..", "quick question, am I allowed to bring Dude?" I laughed at Carlos' comment, "Yeah, am I allowed to join.", "Yes but no talking Dude..they don't know about how or why you talk.."

He groaned, "Fine..", "So the main thing when we get there is no stealing from them or anyone..got it.." they all nodded, "We haven't stolen since we were 15 Mal," I rolled my eyes, "I know just being cautious.." We headed out to the ship as Ben was walking up to me, "Ready for a new adventure.." I smiled, "Always.."

We got on the ship and it took off and while we travelled not so far away, I looked out in the distance and saw the Isle. "So..before we arrive, note that Max may be crazy when we return to land.." we all laughed, "That's okay I love crazy dogs.." my eyes widened as if that was Dude speaking yet it was always confusing since he sounded a lot like Carlos. "Perfect.."

I said quickly so they wouldn't get suspicious as I turned back to them as Carlos looked at me strangely. "What..", "Was that you or Dude speaking.." he laughed, "I'm serious Carlos..if that was you great but if it was Dude. Keep his mouth shut..or you'll have to cover up for him whenever he speaks.." he nodded as I tried to remain calm. "Hey you okay.." I looked and saw it was Ben, "Yeah..I'm okay..", "Something up..take a walk with me.." he held my hand as we walked near the other end of the ship.

Strawberry Lake

Ben
Look in my eyes as I tell you a story
It began when we first met
And ever since then my thoughts were all for you
Strawberries by the Lake
Reminds me of our first date
I made a promise that day that we make history
As your heart skipped a beat
When you ate your first Strawberry by the lake
But I knew that wasn't the case
You only had your eyes and heart for me

Mal
Love at first sight only existed when I looked in your eyes
Every turn lead to another surprise
As Strawberries by the lake was our first date
You let me be your light
As Strawberries by the Lake
Remind me of our first date
And the way you looked at me
Made my heart skip a beat

Both
When everyone said and we should done
We ignore them as we know that we will always be the best
And we always choose each other
Over strawberries by the lake
Knowing that we'll never sing alone
So we don't need to worry, don't need to worry
Since we will be with each other til the end
Even if we eat strawberries by the lake

I looked at him, "Songs make everything better..", "Really? I thought Strawberries make everything better.." I laughed, "They do..but singing with you beats the odds.." we kissed as I heard barking and we were coming into the land. "That's strange.." I heard Evie say as Ariel was next to her. "Very strange.." she responded as I went to them. "What's strange.." Ariel pointed at their dog Max as he had a book in his mouth.

We got out of the ship, "A History Book Of the Isle Of The Lost..those were all burned..", "Apparently not all of them.." I said as Max came and gave it to me as a page was bent and the others were straight. I opened it and it was a yearbook photo. Evie, Jay Carlos were next to me. Alongside us was Harry, Gil, Uma and then someone I haven't seen in years after I left, it was Yuma, Yzma's daughter. Though Yuma was very unpopular, she was more powerful than me, even more than her own mom. "Melody!" Yelled Ariel as she ran off into the castle as Eric went after her, "I'm going to go help them.." said Ben as I nodded as Evie looked at me. "She better be here..I brought all my sewing needles and hemming stuff along with a personalized gown, tiara and heels..."

Ben shortly came out later and looked upset. Something was wrong. "Ben..What's wrong.." asked Jay as I went to him, "Melody..she..she's.." I held his hand, "She's what.." I said, "She's missing..", "She can't be missing, I brought all my sewing needles and hemming stuff along with a personalized.." We all looked at Evie and said, "gown, tiara and heels..." she looked flustered. "Ariel and Eric are sending a search party..", "She couldn't have gone far, it's not like she has fins like her mother.."
