How They Met: The Ball

Locking them away

All through Thursday, Carlos kept on thinking about Cecil's complications and it put him down. His friends tried the best to cheer him up but nothing worked. By Friday, he had forgotten about it and he was himself again but when midnight came, Uma's plan started.

"Freddie, you got the keys?" Freddie tossed Uma the room keys. "Good. Harry, C.J you go get Jay." Uma gave Harry the key to Jay and Carlos' room and he ran out with C.J following him. "Freddie, Harriet, I'll unlock Mal's door, you two carry Evie." Uma unlocked the door to Mal and Evie's room. Harriet and Freddie snook inside, gently lifted Evie out of her bed and started carrying her to Carlos' room. They passed Harry and C.J and the key they had was handed to Freddie who held it in her mouth. Freddie and Harriet lay Evie down on Jay's bed and locked the door. They sprinted back to Mal's room to see Uma locking the door. They all walked to Freddie's room, they locked the door and quietly cheered.

"Mateys, we rise with the tide!" Harry threw his hair into the air.

"Who needs Kiss The Girl when we've got Under The Sea?" Uma laughed with C.J and Harriet.

"Where's Gil?" Freddie asked. "I thought he was next in line for first mate so he would be here."

"If you disturb Gils sleep, he will be a cranky bear throughout the day." Harry threw his hook into the air. "And he doesn't know Uma to Shrimpy. He's dead weight for the team."

"But Gil is a part of the crew, Harry. Hasn't Dad taught you anything?" Harriet flicked Harry across the head.

"Dad never taught me anything. All I got from him was a replica of his hook. And his pocket watch." Harry ran his Hook through Harriet's hair.

"I can hurt you." Harry ran his Hook through C.J's hair. C.J grabbed his hook, firmly.

"Just because you're older than me, that doesn't mean you can hurt me." C.J smirked. Harry let go of his hook and left C.J swinging his Hook around her finger. "Here's your hook." She threw the hook to Harry.

"Can you guys go twenty four hours without fighting?" Harriet dragged Harry away from C.J by his ear.

"I don't get along with C.J. She's too girly to be a Hook." Harry rubbed his ear.

"Harry, chill." Uma punched him in the arm.

"We should be celebrating, not fighting. We finally have our chance to be popular." Freddie squealed.

"We better have good outfits in our wardrobes. I'm not going to a ball dressed like this." C.J pointed to her red pirate coat.

"See? Girly." Harry giggled at his little sister.

"Harry!" Uma shouted.

"Forget that your siblings, Hooks, and lets set off this party." Freddie busted Uma.

"Get ready, set it off. We 'bout to set it off. Get ready, set it off. We 'bout to set it off." Everyone sang as they did the dance.

"Everyone will know who we are now." C.J crackled.

"And for good reasons." Harry swung his Hook around his finger.

"I will lead us to victory, pirates. And Freddie. When I'm the leader, the whole Isle will know me as Uma and not Shrimpy." Uma looked at Harry. "What's my name?"

Harry took off his hat. "Uma."

"What's my name?" Uma grabbed Freddie's arm.

"Uma." Freddie released Uma's grasp and sat down on her bed at one of the corners of the room, opposite C.J's.

"What's my name? What's my name?" Uma sang.

"Uma." The three siblings responded.

Uma started singing her song quietly. "This is all hands on deck. Calling out to lost boys and girls. I'm gettin' tired of the disrespect. We won't stop 'til we rule the world. It's our time, we up next! Our sail's about to be set They ain't seen nothing yet."

Harry walked towards Uma. "Tell 'em who's in charge so they don't forget." The two sang.

"What's my name, what's my name?"

"Uma." The siblings took off their hats.

"Say it louder. What's my name, what's my name?"

"Uma." Harriet, Harry and C.J. bowed.

"Feel the power. No one's gonna stop us soon the world will be ours. What's my name what's my name? What's it, what's it, say it. All eyes on me, let me see 'em. What's it, what's it, say it, say it." Uma lead the hooks into the dance." I'm the queen of this town . I call the shots, you know who I am. I don't need to wear no fake crown. Stand up to me, you don't stand a chance. It's our time, we up next. My crew's as real as it gets. The worst is now the best."

"And leaving us here will be their last regret." Harry stroked Uma's face with his hook.

"What's my name what's my name?"

"Uma."

"Say it louder. What's my name What's my name?"

"Uma."

"Feel the power. No one's gonna stop us soon the world will be ours. What's my name what's my name? What's it, what's it, say it, say it."

Harry threw his hat to C.J. "You know what they say Bad girls have all the fun. Never learned how to count 'cause I'm number one. Ready here, we come We always get our way. It's a pirate's life, every single day. Hey, she's the captain, I'm the first mate. Enemies seasick can't see straight. Call 'em fish bait, throw 'em on a hook. Uma's so hot they get burned if they look."

"Oh, oh. It's all eyes on me, let me see 'em. I see your eyes on me boys. Hey. You know what my name is. Say it, say it louder." Harriet, Harry and C.J. lifted Uma into the air. "What's my name what's my name?"

"Uma."

"Say it louder. What's my name What's my name?"

"Uma."

"Feel the power. No one's gonna stop us soon the world will be ours. What's my name what's my naaaaaaaaaaame. All eyes on me, let me see 'em. What's it, what's it, say it, say it." Uma was placed on the floor and the four did the dance. Ooh, say it louder. Ooh, say it louder. What's it, what's it, say it, say it."

"Uma." They all posed.

"We'll get going. Harry, Harriet, lets go." Uma, Harry and Harriet left C.J. and Freddie alone.
