The VK's are now 12 and they couldn't ask for a better life. Since the 'wedding' they haven't heard or seen Uma and her crew and they loved it that way.
"Another perfect day in the life of Mal." Mal said to herself as she got out of bed. She met the rest of her friends in the main room. "Morning, guys. Who's ready for another perfect day?" Mal starting eating the last apple.
"I'm definitely ready." Carlos snatched the apple from Mal and he took a bite.
"Why wouldn't I be?" Jay unlocked the door.
"I'll stay behind for today, guys." Evie headed for her room.
"What's wrong, Evie?" Carlos asked her.
"Nothing. I'm not feeling the mood to be evil today." Evie looked sad and cold.
"Evie, tell us what's wrong." Mal dragged her to Carlos and Jay.
"I know we hate Uma and her crew but we haven't seen them since Mal blew them away from their ship and I'm afraid that we might have killed them. They're always trying to harass us, they know where we live and who our parents are. Not seeing them in a year does make me worry that we have killed them." Evie started to cry.
"They're probably somewhere on the other side of the island." Carlos escorted Evie outside.
"She does have a point. We haven't seen them in a year. Should we go look for them?" Jay adjusted his beanie.
"We'll go to the chip shop and ask Ursula about them. I'm not looking for them though." Mal started walking to the chip shop. Her friends caught up with her.
"That's fine with us, Mal. As long as we know where they are, it's fine." Carlos smiled.
"I don't really know what to do if Ursula hasn't seen them." Mal did look a bit worried.
"I'm sure they're fine. And I mean it physically because of what happened last year, they're definitely not mentally alright." Jay shuddered at the memory of Ruth trying to kiss him.
"At ,east you go a compliment from Uma out of it. She wrote in her diary that you are hot, man. Since when do any of us get called hot?" Carlos smiled at the passing girls who giggled flirtatiously. "Before that happened."
"You are right but when I was called hot, it came from Uma. Uma, Carlos! Uma!" Jay shouted.
"Calm down, Jay. It's just a silly girl crush." Evie hugged his arm.
"Yeah, Evie's right. Us girls know a lot about this stuff. It'll be over before we can say supercalifragelisticexpealidocious backwards." Mal high-fived Evie because she finally nailed that word.
"Dociousaliexpillisticfragicalirupus." Evie and Jays jaws dropped when Carlos said it backwards.
"And that's why I said all of us." Mal pointed at Carlos.
"I only learnt it a week ago and I only told Mal because she wanted me to say it backwards." Carlos shared a smile with Mal.
"Can we end this discussion and order our selves some food?" Evie opened the doors to Ursulas Fish And Chips. They all walked in and sat at the last table. A boy their age slammed his hands on the table.
"Where's Uma, Mal?" The boy asked.
"I don't...Gonzo Stromboli?" Mal gasped at the boy when she saw him.
"Uma is missing and we all know you four have something to do with it." Gonzo sat down at the table.
"We do not know where Uma is, ok." Mal pushed him away. There was an awkward moment of silence. "I see your accents changed since the last time I saw you. And that was five years ago."
"I didn't like the accent my Dad made me have. When I met Uma, she asked me to be a part of her crew. The pirate accents better than my Dads." Gonzo sat on the table.
"Who are the ugly ducklings over there?" Jay nodded his head towards the crew.
"Desiree Ratcliffe, Bonny Skyes and Jonas Clayton." Gonzo pointed to each of the crew members as he said their names. "Uma' planning on expanding her crew. She's told us all about you, Mal."
"Keep talking." Carlos pulled him off the table.
"You turned your back on her. Instead of pulling one prank that day, you pulled another. You dumped shrimp on her twice and you slapped a fish in her face." Gonzo went over to his table.
"She was so sad to know that her only friend rejected her!" Bonny threw chips at Mal.
"You deserve to die, Mal and one day you will." Desiree approached them. She looked at Evie, Carlos and Jay. "Who would've known that the three people who picked on me years ago would show up here, where I'm better and stronger."
"Desiree Ratcliffe. I knew that name was familiar. Does your Dad know you're a pirate?" Evie crossed her arms.
"Does he heck." Desiree drew out her sword.
"Leave us alone to eat." Jay tried movie Desiree away but she threw him on the floor. The crew laughed.
"Are you alright, Jay?" Evie helped him up with Mal and Carlos.
"I'm fine, I think." Jay massaged his shoulder.
"What's wrong, Jay? Can't beat a pirate?" Bonny joined Desiree, doing somersaults.
"Go away!" Mal demanded.
"Tell us where Uma is and we'll let you leave." Jonas said with a mouth full of food.
"We don't know!" Evie shouted.
"You have 24 hours to find her. If you don't, we get your house." Gonzo and Bonny laughed.
"And if we do, you have to leave us alone for a full week. You've got yourself a deal." Mal nodded and she lead the VK's out the door.
"I'll quickly go grab us some food." Carlos ran off with Mals bag.
"I'll go to my Moms house and steal her spell book." Mal ran to her Moms house. She came back with the spell book five minutes it's later. "Lets blow this popsicle stand."
