*With Carlos*

Carlos: "How to get out of the friend zone"

*The TV*

Reporter: They dined with Aladdin and Jasmine

Carlos: I see you reading over my shoulder

Reporter: Six months ago, no one thought... the wrong side of the bridge would last. Magnolia must be counting the days until the Royal Cotillion, when she will officially become a Lady of the Court

*Andromeda walks into the room and slams the door shut*

Carlos: Whoa. Easy, girl.

Andromeda: What? You think this is so easy?! You don't have people talking about you every single time you open your mouth to say boo! I mean, it's not that I could even say, "Boo," but, you know what I... Carlos, don't you ever miss screaming at people and just making them run away from you?

Carlos: *While letting out a scoff* You're thinking of my mother, and I was usually on the other end of that. So, not really. No. Oh, hey! Did you bring

*The door opens*

Chad: Hi. Just came to use your 3D printer. Won't be a sec

Carlos: How'd you get a key to my room?

Chad: Oh, I printed it off last time I was in here. Uh... you guys were sleeping. Look, I just... Your printer's so much better than mine, and you install these hacks and everything runs so much smoother than mine and...

Carlos: Out! Now

Chad: *While leaving* Fine. Fine

Carlos: Chad!

Chad: What? Hmm?

Carlos: Leave the key

*He sits the key down and leaves*

Carlos: Andromeda?

Andromeda: Hmm?

Carlos: My potion?

Andromeda: Hmm. Yeah

Carlos: Um... So, this thing will make me say what I really feel to Jane?

Andromeda: Yeah. I mean, this is a truth gummie, so take it or leave it

Carlos: Perfect

Andromeda: Hold on, though. Are you sure that you want to be taking this? Because this is gonna make you say the truth all the time, no matter what, and the only reason that I'm asking is because I know that if I took this right now, I would get myself sent back to the Isle. Which, it's not that that sounds super unappealing, but, you know...

Carlos: Yeah. I'll take my chances, I guess

Andromeda: Okay

*Dude eats it before Carlos can*

Carlos: Ohh! Bad dog!

Dude: Man, that thing was nasty! And you... you just got to man up and while you're at it, scratch my butt

Andromeda: You heard him. Scratch his butt

*She leaves*

Carlos: Andromeda! You're just gonna leave me with him?

Dude: Come on. You scratch your own all the time

*On the Isle*

?: Poser!

?: Traitor!

?: Hello?

?: Oh, I would love to wipe the smiles off their faces. You know what I mean? Gil! You want to quit choking down yolks and get with the program?
