Evelyn and Josie swung open the doors to the great hall, flying down the steps and to the area between the rows of seats. "Well, don't look so shocked." Evelyn said. "Did you really think that I would miss my birthday?" Josie asked, turning her gaze to Lizzie and Charlotte and brushing Lizzie's hair to the side. "Oh, I'm sorry, our birthday."
"So, what did we miss?" Evelyn asked, a daring smirk on both females lips.

Evelyn and Josie walked down the hall with their controlled group following behind them, stopping when they turned and corner and saw MG. "You multiplied." He said, "Like Gremlins."
"Supervillains need a squad, too." Josie told him, "With a little help of a black magic suggestion spell."
"Can I talk to you two for a sec?" MG asked, "Without the squad."
"You guys know your assignments. Start prepping Jo's birthday bash without us." Evelyn said, titling her head at the boy in front of her.
"Oh, that's not creepy at all." MG commented as the group walked away.
"I need to make sure that my party goes off without a hitch." Josie told him. "About that." MG said, "Happy birthday, Jo. To replace the one I spilled root beer on, when I first got to the school. I think that was the day we became friends."
"You're never gonna give up on the good inside of us, are you?" Evelyn asked, MG smiling. "It's not my style." Both girls pulled the boy in for a 'loving' hug, their eyes turning black as they began to desiccate him, Kaleb speeding over and ripping MG from their hold. "What the hell is wrong with y'all?"
"Oh, wait your turn, Kaleb. Plenty of hugs to go around." Josie smiled, the two turning and walking away from the boys.

"Up to what, exactly?" Josie asked, her and Evelyn appearing behind Hope and Lizzie. "Come on, guys, this is all so unnecessary. If you have something to ask us, go ahead. We don't bite."
"Then I will. Where's Josie and my sister?" Hope asked, "We're right here, silly." Evelyn responded.
"The real Evie and Josie, our Evie and Josie." Hope told her, "So you mean our weak old selves? They're gone, I thought we made that very clear." Evelyn said.
