cordelia sat on the back of carlos's bike, holding on tightly both out of safety and fear. she was not too fond of the idea of riding on a motor bike. she watched eagerly as mal began to repeat a spell, making it so they could almost ride on the water. "nobel steed, proud and fair, you shall take us anywhere."

as soon as the words left her mouth, they all went off riding over the water. cordelia moved her green eyes towards the wheel of the bike, watching as it splashed up and down the cold water tickling her face.

once they had arrived on the isle, they drove quickly to dr facilier's. this was a part of the isle cordelia had never been to and it was different to the others, it was more dark and seemed to be more closed off than the rest.

the bikes all stopped with a screech, cordelia was quick to jump off taking her goggles and helmet off and placing it onto the bike.

"hey!" mal gasped, scanning herself from head to toe. "i'm me again!"

"duh, evil magic doesn't work here." celia said, with a slight eye roll. "kind of the point."

evie chuckled, throwing an arm around mal. "welcome back."

"thank you." mal laughed, following celia as she wandered down the street and to her fathers arcade.

carlos and jay shared a look, before following the three girls while cordelia looked around with big eyes. "cords, you coming?" he spoke, stopping and waiting with an arm out for her.

"yeah," cordelia muttered, still scanning the area. "i'm coming." she spoke louder, catching up to the two boys and happily accepting carlos's arm, linking hers with his.

they followed celia down an alley way, the red headed girl placing her purple helmet down onto a table covered with a velvet red table cloth. she stopped at a large metal door, before smiling and turning back to it completing a difficult rhyme against the metal.

the door slid open and celia motioned for them all to follow her inside. mal chuckled, before nodding and following the girl inside. evie, jay, carlos and cordelia all followed mal inside warily.

upon entrance into dr faciliers arcade, they were met with bright colours plastered on almost every surface and games scattered all throughout. "there she is!" dr facilier shouted.

"hey, daddy!" celia cheered, lifting her arms up and running towards her dad. he caught celia, spinning her around before placing her down and doing a short dance. the other teens watched from the door, smiling at the adorable interaction between celia and her father.

"come here, you little rascal!" he laughed, chasing up with her and wrapping his arm around her. "so, what kind of hustle you got going on with them shiny people?" he asked her, as the teens all disappeared into the arcade.

carlos stuck by cordelia's side as she wondered over towards a tv. "no hustle," celia replied, calmly. "i got friends on the other side."

"ah, i hear you, i hear you." her dad replied with a laugh.

she walked over towards a wall, grabbing a key and turning back to her dad. "we're on a mission, i'm kind of a major player, so, that's why i can't stay long."

"you make sure you get your cut." dr facilier spoke, pointing a finger at his daughter who just smiled and nodded. meanwhile, cordelia sat down on a small plastic chair in front of the tv while carlos placed a coin inside, sitting besides her.

"alerts of the sleep spell keep coming in as it spreads throughout auradon." the man on the tv said, walking around the beasts statue.

"uh, guys?" cordelia called out.
