"Jay, are you awake?" Carlos woke up in the morning and looked at Jay's bed.

"Mal? You sound different." Evie woke up.

"Evie?" Carlos gasped.

"Carlos? What am I doing here?" Evie got out of Jays bed faster than lightening.

"I don't know. You don't sleepwalk and Jay isn't here so...Uma." Carlos threw his pillow at the wall in anger.

"Let me go find Jay." Evie tried opening the door but it was locked. "Did you lock it last night?"

"I did, but I put it on the hook." Carlos saw the key was missing.

"This is definitely the work of Uma. If I'm in here, Jay is with Mal. Why did they switch us though?"

*In Mal's dorm, Jay and Mal weren't as freaked out as Carlos and Evie*

"No one in the school is as evil as Shrimpy." Mal sighed.

"I'm just confused on why me and Evie were switched in our sleep." Jay shrugged his shoulders.

"It will be Shrimpy to know and us to find out but in the meantime, let's find a way out." Mal inspected the windows.

"I would suggest smashing the windows but we will probably break a bone or die if we fall." Jay brought Mal away from the windows.

"Uma has taken the key so we can't get out of here. It's like a puzzle. Me and you are good at puzzles so we might be able to solve it and save our friends." Mal smiled.

*Back at Carlos' room*

"We have to find a way out, Evie. My Uncle Cecil is visiting us today. This is the last time I'm gonna see him before he dies. My Mom sent me a letter saying he has hyperhidrosis. I didn't want Diego to know when we saw him on Wednesday because I knew that I would feel guilty if I did." Carlos started to cry.

"Carlos, you will see Cecil. He sounds...amazing from the things Diego has recently told us. Me, Mal and Jay won't stop until our friend is happy." Evie hugged him.

"I feel safe knowing that one of my best friends is here with me." Carlos smiled.

"So do I." Evie pulled away from the hug and held both of Carlos' hands. Carlos kissed her. They both pulled away, shocked. "What just happened?" Evie shouted.

"Your lips bumped into mine!" Carlos shouted at Evie.

"No, you kissed me! I don't feel like throwing up." Evie sounded confused.

"Neither do I." Carlos looked at Evie.

"Why did you kiss me? We're exes!" Evie slapped Carlos. They heard laughter from the side of the door. Evie peaked through the key hole and saw Harriet, C.J and Harry leaning up against the wall. Evie kicked the door.

"Ow!" The siblings shouted.

"C.J! Harriet! Harry!" Evie shouted.

"Hello, Evie." Harriet laughed.

"Get us out of here!" Evie kicked the door again.

"We will...tomorrow." Harry peaked through the key hole.

"You have to let us out! Today is the last day I see my Uncle Cecil! Cecil De Vil!"

"We don't care about your Uncle. Or you for that matter." Harry stepped back.

"When we get out of here, you're fish bait, Hooks!" Carlos brought Evie away from the door so she couldn't kick the door down.

"As if. Pirates against you and your prissy friends. Think before you say stuff, Evie." Carlos and Evie heard C.J blow them a kiss and the siblings walked away.

*At Mal's room, Mal and Jay were talking to Uma and Freddie. The Hooks approached them.*

"You don't want to do this, Uma." Jay sat down in front of the door.

"Funny and dumb. Perfect guy for some girls on the Isle." Uma laughed.

"We want to get out of here, Uma. Just let us out." Mal looked through the keyhole.

"I want you to leave the Isle. Life ain't fair!" Uma shouted.

"Locking us in here isn't going to solve anything." Jay said as they all walked away.
