The car door slammed.
I'll get the swords," Jay said. Lonnie nodded and ran over to Mal and Evie. Hyacie got out of the car, Caleb climbing out after her. Hyacie jogged over and joined Lonnie in hugging Mal and Evie.
"I made them bring me," Lonnie explained happily.
"Oh, I'm so glad," Mal admitted.
"What about me?" Hyacinth exclaimed, feigning offence.
"Yeah, well, you've been here the whole time," Mal replied, pretending to dismiss her but then pulling the curly-haired girl into another hug.
"Welcome to the Isle. It's good to see you," Evie greeted.
"Thanks." Lonnie looked around experimentally. As Carlos and Jay walked over, Hyacie furrowed her brows and frowned, confused.
"When did we decide to bring Dude along?" she asked. Carlos sighed and shook his head.
"We didn't. He was a stowaway," he explained. Hyacie hummed and nodded, turning back to face Mal. Carlos held the fake wand out to Mal.
"Ooh. Here, let me see it." Mal took the wand, examining it in awe. Caleb walked over, shoving his hands in his pockets and inspecting it over Carlos' shoulder.
"Looks pretty perfect to me," he noted, his eyes flicking over to Hyacie briefly. They locked eyes, and she froze, unsure of what to do with the eye contact.
"Wow, what a beauty," Mal awed.
"It's noon," Jay informed them.
"Shit, let's go," Hyacie muttered, wrapping an arm around Lonnie and hurrying her into the tunnel leading to the docks.
The sun rose high in the skies of noon, but the perpetual clouds over the Isle blocked half of its light. As the group made their way towards the docks where Uma's ship was, Caleb walked close to Hyacie, attempting to make conversation with her.
"So, is this like your thing? Confronting pirates and saving kings?" he asked teasingly. His voice echoed slightly in the tunnel.
"Yes, but on the weekends I prefer to take a break and go save some princesses instead," Hyacie joked back sarcastically. Caleb sent her a light grin.
The group stepped onto the wooden boards that made up the dock, Hyacie's black combat boots tapping against the solid planks. When the pirates spotted them, cheers rang out. Hyacinth turned to the person closest to her –Caleb– and made a joke.
"Never had anyone cheer when I walked in. They must really love us," she commented with a wry smile.
"Remind me to cheer when you enter the room someday. I wouldn't mind," Caleb flirted playfully, winking. Hyacie smiled, taking it as a joke, and quickly looked away.
Harry Hook was holding onto Ben, pushing him to the side and looking triumphant as he greeted the group.
"Welcome," he called, opening his arms in a grand ark.
"Finally," Uma added, laughing and doing an excited little jig. Music had begun to flow through the air around them, and Hyacinth sighed to herself. Could they not just do one fight without having to make it a musical number?
Let's get this party started
I swear I'm cold hearted
There's no negotiation, I'm not here for debatin'
You need some motivation? Just look at Ben's face...
Hook slung an arm around Ben's shoulder, making a pouty face. When Hyacie really looked at her, it wasn't hard to see: Uma was hot. So was Harry. Damn-
