Neverland

Krone was furious with Isabella. The anger inside her made her tare up and stomp on her stuffed baby doll she had brought along. She tore the head off, threw both parts of the doll on the floor, and stomped the stuffing out of them.

But suddenly after her temper tantrum, she starts laughing to herself.

She made a change of plans starting that day.

Laundry day came around. The quadruple were taking down blankets from the stilts that had hung the blankets.

"Emma, Karma." Norman gets the two girls attention. "From now on, let's play tag in teams."

"Teams?" Emma repeats, wondering what Norman meant.

"That seems like a good plan." Karma went with the idea. "In some situations, I guess it's better to run in groups than alone."

"But most importantly," Ray says, "most of them would die if they escaped individually."

"Ray!" Emma yells.

"Well, Emma he's got a point." Karma says.

"Their movements aren't bad, so we should break them up individually." Ray continued.

"We'll make formations and run away in teams." Norman instructed. "We'll play tag in a way that would act like how the escape would be like.

"I have another idea in mind. Let's tell Don and Gilda. We'll explain the situation and have them lead in teams."

"What if one of them is the spy?" Ray asked.

"Don't worry." Norman assures. "Finding out who the informant is, and also winning them over. I can do them simultaneously."

"Sounds like you've been preparing for this." Karma says.

"Yep." Norman confirms as he has his finger over his lips. "I've already made arrangements."

"Karma, Emma." Ray gets the girls attention.

"I'll tell you 100 types of formation patterns, so memorize them." Ray tells them.

"You mean by ear?" Emma asks.

"You can't do it?" Ray smiles.

Emma smiles confidently, "Easy Peasy."

"100? That seems too low." Karma starts joking. "I'll help come up another
100 formations."

"Karma!" Emma shouts.

"I'm joking!" Karma laughs.

The kids laugh at Emma's reaction.

"Alright then," Norman begans. "Let's get to work."

...

They were all prepared in teams.

"Alright, try not to get caught for ten minutes." Ray says. "Start."

"Everyone, follow me!" Emma tells her group.

"Let's succeed and surprise Ray!" Norman tells his team.

Treat it like the real thing. Karma reminds herself.

"Alright, my group! Let's go!" Karma says as she leads her team to go hide.

All groups sneak around the forest, trying to not get caught by Ray's team. They were all careful, trying not to get caught using the one hundred formations Ray came up with. Formations included splitting up, stay on place, and more ways to get away.

The plan is a success. It worked out better than it intended.

"That was fun!" Phil exclaims.

"You did good, Phil." Emma pats his head.
