R&R?

Madi: ooooh crud's getting real!

Mia: WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?! Are you becoming a quiet mouse now?!

Madi: No, I'm just lazy.

"What are you guys doing...?!" I asked, as my friends ran around me.

"Okay... you can go for two looks. Tris, from Divergent, or Katniss from The Hunger Games." Allie looked me over. "You'd make a good Tris."

"Katniss!" Emma exclaimed.

"I don't care!" I rolled my eyes. "Seriously, the Madi look is fine. I like my look. Nothing too fancy."

"You'd be a good Mockingjay! As like, an animal lover and stuff!" Emma squealed. "I am the Mockingjay!"

"No! No the Mockingjay! She should become the Madijay!" Katerina exclaimed. "With the outfit she has on now! Because Katniss liked hunting and she kept her bow and stuff, and a braid. So Madi's Madijay costume should be like Madi with minor adjustments. Like eyeshadow."

"And her hair in a high ponytail!" Emma added. "No! Long! Like Taylor Swift's Bad Blood music video! It's awesome! And Taylor looks so FIERCE!"

"I know!" Katerina gushed. "I loved Cindy Crawford as the Headmistress. And Martha Hunt as Homeslice!"

"Focus! Emma, do her hair. I'll scan the wardrobe, see if there's anything else that could be added... Katerina, do what you want. Madi, shut your eyes!" Allie studied my eyes, as if saying, How can we torture Madi now?

I rolled my eyes and shut them. Emma grabbed my bush and brushed my hair out. I couldn't see what they were doing to my hair. Katerina handed her my Creature Pod. Hey, when had they stolen it?!

"Give that back!" I grabbed my Creature Pod back and looked at myself in the mirror. I looked nothing like me! They had put on sparkly nude makeup, eyeliner and mascara on me. I rolled my eyes. Then I saw my hair, which wasn't so bad except for the fact it had so much GLITTER! AHHH! I looked like Donita had done my makeup!

"Perfect!" Emma exclaimed, twirling my hair.

"I know!" Allie replied.

"Where'd you find the makeup?!" I asked. "I feel like Donita!"

Katerina pointed at Emma and Allie's purses, which had a lot of makeup in them. "There."

"I'm going to save my mom, not walk the catwalk!" I rolled my eyes. "Ugh. I'm going. See you!"

"Good luck!"

"Wait!" Emma grabbed my arm and took a picture of me. "For Instagram!"

"NOOOOO!" I exclaimed.

And then a notification from Instagram came up. Sure enough it was me. The caption read, MadiKratt gets a makeover, as done by MissMirandaKat, EmmaAnnaleigh and me, _alli3_! MADI IS THE #Madijay!

"Really, you hashtag it?" Katerina asked.

"Hey, let's start a Madijay thing!" Allie smiled.

"No!" I snapped before running out the door.

"Madi? What happened to you?" my dad asked.

"Emma, Allie and Katerina," I answered. "They... overdid it. A lot. But never mind. Have you found Zach?"

"He's over there, and apparently doesn't hear us," Uncle Martin replied.

"That's because he's stupid," I muttered, running out to my classmates. "Hey guys? My mom sorta got CAPTURED by ZACH, and he's probably hiding in sky cloud mode... we've gotta get him down here. So start screaming maybe?"

"ZACH! GET DOWN HERE!" Emma, Allie and Katerina ran out of the Tortuga and looked up at the sky.

Soon all of us were yelling, and Zach's boat came ashore. I narrowed my eyes as it docked. I hated him! When he stepped out with the Zachbots, he was met with protests.

"Stupid kids," Zach muttered. "SHUT UP!"

But we wouldn't shut up. I smirked and walked through the crowd easily. "Hello, Zach."

I spat his name out like it was something horrible. And it was! He was a total asshole! Seriously, this guy needed to get a life! He's all I'm the best inventor ever! and everyone else is like Are you joking? Your inventions fail 95% of the time while Aviva's fails like 1% of the time. Obviously she is better then you. Or that might just be me... but it also might not!

"Madi!" Zach exclaimed. "Are you coming back to me?"

I laughed. "HAHA! No. Give me my mom back. And the manatees."

"What's a many-tee?" Zach asked.

I rolled my eyes. "The animals you captured. Give them back!"

"Oh, those things!" Zach rolled his eyes. "My boat's covered in algae. Those many-tees are going to eat it!"

"It might kill them!" my dad exclaimed. "It might be red tide season! The manatees could eat harmful neurotoxins, which are even poisonous to us!"

"You're mean, Zach!" Uncle Martin added. Agreed, Uncle Martin, agreed!

Zach just looked at me. "Moi? Fine, then. So, you want your mom back and I want you back. How about a trade- her for you?"

"You literally asked me that like five minutes ago and the answer is give me her back." I narrowed my eyes. "Now."

"Okay. If you can figure out the code to her cell." Zach shrugged.

My dad looked shocked. "Really?"

"Really," Zach replied, stepping aside. "Go ahead."

I looked behind me. My friends had disappeared, and Koki and Jimmy were herding them towards the Tortuga. We ran into Zach's ship, and looked around for my mom. Finally, I spotted her in the corner, held in between bars like my dad was when Zach wanted black rhino bulldozers. Nubs was cute! At least from the website picture...

"Mom!" I looked at the lock. Aw, man, a number code?! GREAT!

"Madi! Chris! Martin!" my mom exclaimed.

"Oh! Forgot to tell you!" We looked over at Zach, who was smiling evilly. "The manatees are beginning their algae feeding... now! That lock can only be solved by the three of you, and I could take her and fly away-" he jabbed a finger at my mom- "if you help the manatees."

Now I understood why Zach would just let us walk onto his boat like that. Zach was being a jerk, just like before. Have I mentioned I hated him? A LOT?!
