After the events of The Jungle Book 2, Shere Khan was placed on the Isle. People knew who he was, what he had done, and the consequences of not doing what he demanded. As he was walking home from another day of terrorising children, he heard faint c...
Evie and Carlos are waiting for us. They're all in some Isle clothes.
"Here." Evie hands us some bags. We get change.

"Are we ready?" Evie asks us.
"Ready." We say. Papa growls.
"Let us live!" I tell him. "Dekho, mujhe ek bachche kee tarah ilaaj karana band karo main ek aurat mein badal raha hoon, mere paas ek premee hai, mere dost hain i mujhe pata hai ki tum sab kuchh chhod chuke ho, lekin mujhe pata hai ki main kya kar raha hoon. Mujhe vaastav mein mal ko bachaane kee zaroorat hai isase pahale ki vah aap aur maama kee tarah moorkhataapoorn kuchh karata hai. Paapa main aapase pyaar karata hoon." We hug. He purrs. "I love you."
"Shay." Jay puts a hand on my shoulder.
"I promise I won't do anything stupid like what you and mama did. Cross my heart and hope to die on that one."
"We'll wait for Ben to arrive and then go at night." Evie sits down. We do the same.
"Where's the sun?" Carlos goes to look out the window when he stubs his toe. "Shit!"
"Il tuo dito del piede è fottuto, amico." I snigger.
"What?" Evie looks at me.
"It's Italian for "your toe is fucked, buddy."
"Since when did you learn to speak Italian?" Jay asks me.
"Just a little something I picked up from talking to Pinocchio's son, Pin." I smile.
"That's great. Maybe you should focus a little less on the language, and a little more of the talking." Jay tells me. He can be so overprotective.
Carlos laughs. "You got told."
"You got toe." I look at Carlos. Jay and Evie chuckle. Ben walks in wearing some Isle clothes.
"Evie, Jay, Carlos, Shay!" Ben smiles at us.
"Hey, what's up, Benny? Buddy, I thought you were gonna start working out." I hand hug him.
"What does that mean?" Ben asks me.
"Um...you're fat." I say.
"No!" Ben sits down.
"And we're making one thing clear; we're in charge so man up." Carlos tells Ben.
"Or as I like to say, word up." I smirk.
"Jay, where's the sun?" Evie asks.
Jay looks out the window. "It's dark outside. The moon's out."
"Let's go." Evie leads us out of the school.
"Jay!" Jay looks at Ben. "Keys!" Ben gives Jay the keys to the limo and the remote to open the barrier.
"Wait!" Evie stops. "Something's wrong." We look at her. She fixes Ben's beanie. I roll my eyes. "There."
"Shotgun!" When did Dude get here?
"No, Dude, stay. The Isle is way to dangerous." Carlos tells him. Dude sulks.
"Did he just..." Jay points at Dude.
"Talk? Yeah. I know. Tell you later." Carlos gets into the limo.
"Let's go." Ben tells us. We all climb into the limo. Papa sits on my knee.
"Ok, once we cross the bridge, park under the pier near the old garage. Got it?" Evie asks Jay.
"Got it." Jay drives us away.
"Are we ready?" Ben asks.
"Are you asking me if we're ready to save Mal on our home island?" I ask him. Ben nods. "Why wouldn't we be?" I stroke papa.
"I'm actually kind of excited to see the Isle." Ben looks at us VK's with excitement.
"It will be nice to see glum for the first time in six months." I breathe out.
"Home freak home." Jay creates the golden bridge that took us to Auradon in the first place.
"It definitely isn't sweet like candy." Evie sighs.
"It's bad like dirty sweets." I kiss papa's head.
"What's that saying?" Ben asks us. We laugh. "What's so funny?"
"You've never heard of dirty candy?" Carlos smiles.
"No." I thought kings knew everything.
"It means that it was something nice and now it isn't." I explain.
"Want a Rolo?" Evie grabs a sweet from the sweet buffet.
"I like the way you roll." I take it.
"What are the four major food groups?" Carlos eats some chocolate.
"What?" I ask him.
"Coffee, pizza, chocolate and sex." Carlos smirks.
"Then I'm missing the last one!" I shout to Jay.
"What do you call a lamb covered in chocolate?" Jay asks.
"Dunno." I tell him.
"A candy baa." Jay smiles. We both snigger. "Welcome to the Isle, Ben." Jay opens the barrier.
