"She's nowhere on campus," Nami said as she and Mal entered Audrey's room. 

"Not in her room either, but this diary? Good stuff. You know you really ruined her life, Nami?"

"Thank you, Uma. Did you find out anything we don't already know?" She sat on the edge of the bed that Uma was on.

"She hangs out at Fairy Cottage. You know, where Flora, Fauna, and Merryweather hid her mom from Mal's mom."

Those three fairy names were the last names Nami wanted to hear in the entire planet.

"How can anyone with this bed ever be unhappy?"

Uma flopped around on the bed. Nami sympathized with her. The Isle mattress were like rocks.

"Okay, text Jay, let's get to Evie's and wait for the boys to come back. We'll regroup there."

"Ben!" Carlos called out. "Dude, do you smell anything?"

"Nothing," The dog responded.

"These things grow everywhere." Gil got distracted eating berries off the bushes. "Hey... maybe we should try that icebreaker thing. Um... Jay, I like the way that you can bounce around and jump off things."

Jay laughed at the pirate. "Um... I like how you get a kick out of a berry bush."

"I guess you've probably seen everything by now. Furry rocks, giant fish. And you're probably used to grabbing lunch off a bush."

"No, not really. Usually just hit the vending machine after practice. Tourney kind of eats up most of my time so..."

"Tourney? That's a wee boys' game." Hook strolled up.

"Right. You know what would be fun? Rafting in a jungle river," Gil suggested.

"Ooh maybe finding a civilization."

"Or a penguin."

"Well, you find those on icebergs but I'd love to see one of those." Jay never found someone with so much in common as him.

"You guys are killing me. Kiss already or shut up..." Harry couldn't believe there was anyone as excitable as Gil. "P.S. The mutt went that way."

The boys followed Dude's lead.

"I really hope they've found Ben."

"Whoa, nice digs," Uma said as the girls approached Evie's castle.

Nami had to agree. She wasn't there for when Evie bought it. Nami finally put down her bag and Ben's crown on the little outdoor table Evie had.

"I got a pretty good deal."

When they got inside, Dizzy and the twins had fallen prey to Audrey's spell. Nami watched Celia cover them with a blanket. She tried to comfort Dizzy who seemed to be having a nightmare.

"Don't worry, Dizzy. We're going to fix this. And then they're going to let all the kids on the Isle... and my dad too. So happy dreams, Diz."

They all heard snoring coming from the other room. They followed Uma to a side area of the castle that held all of Evie's designs.

"Who's the dude?" Uma asked.

"Doug!"

"Doug. Doug. Wake Up." They watched Evie attempt to shake Doug awake.
