Indefinitely

Mack attempted to hide her red cheeks from the two girls but failed. Octavia looked at her best friend, "Can you believe this?" The brunette squealed quietly, "Mack's in lo-ove."

"I know!" Madlyn whisper-squealed. "And they're so perfect together! This is the way it always should have been."

Octavia nodded in return, "I hope she realizes this soon." Eyes wide in realization, she stared at her friend. The brunette grabbed Madlyn's arm and pulled her up. Looking down at the confused two lovebirds Octavia mustered a smile, "We have to go adjust our makeup. Where's the bathroom, Lela?"

"Down the hall." The raven-haired girl pointed to her door.

"Cool! Thanks, come on Madlyn." Not even waiting, the brunette dragged her friend into the bathroom and locked the door behind the two.

"This is horrible." She muttered, "I mean it's fantastic! But also horrible. It's great, but bad!" Octavia growled, "What're we going to do?" Hyperventilating, she began to pace back and forth.

"It's not so bad!" Madlyn said. "I mean, they seem really happy together, maybe things will still work out the way they're supposed to!"

"But what about the end of the movie? Don't you remember? Lela and Tanner get back together, rally up the bikers and surfers to save Mack and Brady. But now Lela and Mack are together, and they can't exactly find out about Les Camonbert's stupid machine while they're together, can they?" She paused, "But what if they could? Can they? Is that a thing, will Lela and Mack be able to discover it? I mean, does it even matter who discovers it as long as its discovered?" Octavia huffed, "This whole situation is making my head spin."

"You're right!" Madlyn squealed with delight. "It doesn't matter who finds it! All we need to do is lead them towards it and they'll find it on their own!"

Octavia sighed, "Alright. I have an idea how to do that, but I'm not sure if it's a good one."

"It can't be that bad." Madlyn said.

"I'm not sure." Octavia sucked in a huge breath of air and blew it out, "We should get ourselves kidnapped by those two idiots in the lighthouse."

"That's a great idea! Then they'll rescue us, destroy the machine, and we can finally get out of here! It's that simple!"

"Really?" Octavia clapped her hands in excitement, "Awesome! We'll do it tomorrow, after the sleepover." The brunette unlocked the bathroom door and walked back into Lela's room.

"We're ba—" Octavia lowered her voice, eyes wide when she saw Lela and Mack sitting on the floor together, lips locked with one another.

"Oh. My. God." Octavia squealed, causing the two to part. They slid away from each other, both sharing the same shade of blush on their cheeks.

"I'm sorry, we didn't mean too—" Octavia said, feeling bad.

"No, no. It's fine." Lela reassured, "You can come in."

Grabbing her friend's hand, they walked in together and sat down on the ground opposite to each girl.

"And here I thought you said you weren't into girls?" Octavia teased to Mack, who blushed even redder.

"Shut up."

Octavia looked at her friend, itching to know what it was Madlyn was thinking right now.

"You two really are perfect together." Madlyn said.

Mack, making a bold move, reached her hand across and grabbed hold of Lela's hand. Both girls were smiling at one another.

"Mack?" Octavia squeaked.

The girl turned her head to face the brunette, "Yeah?"

"What are you going to do about Brady?" She asked, "I mean, I've never dated anyone. But I do know that they deserve a clean break up before you start a new relationship."

"What is she talking about?" Lela asked, "Octavia, I thought you said Mack wasn't dating anyone."

"I... I..." She took in a big breath of air, not quite sure what to say. Mack looked into the brunette's eyes, who was already welling up.

Both girls got up and went in opposite directions. Mack into the bathroom and Lela to... who knows where.

Crying by now, Octavia leaned her head on Madlyn's shoulder, "I ruined everything."

"No, it's not your fault." Madlyn leaned her head against Octavia's. "Things will work out in the end. I mean, they have to, right? This is a movie, movies always have happy endings."

"Not all of them." Octavia said, "What's it worth getting ourselves kidnapped now? They hate us. There's no way Lela or Mack would care about us." Octavia frowned, "It's funny though, I actually considered them my friends." She sighed, "I guess I just lost track of what's important. They're not real. And even if they were, nobody would want to be friends with a washed-up loser like me."

"No, don't say that. I don't know how anyone could ever feel that way about you." Madlyn hugged the brunette. "They'll work things out. We can fix this." She whispered.

"I sure hope so." Octavia said, "Because by this point? I wouldn't care if I disappeared." She got up and walked over to Lela's vanity mirror, and frowned at the sight of her red, puffy eyes.

"Tomorrow." The brunette said, "Tomorrow I have to apologize. Tomorrow we are going to get kidnapped." She sighed, "And even if they don't forgive me? I'd do anything for them." She turned around to face Madlyn, "It's silly, huh? Considering them as my friends. Since they're not real and all."

"No, not at all!" Madlyn laughed. "Mack was my imaginary friend when I was nine. I'm the crazy one!"

"I'm not disagreeing with the fact you are crazy, but you know how I am. I talk to myself, and people like to make fun of me for that. I dance when there's no music. I am the clumsiest person on the planet." She sighed, "Guess who wins the crazy contest, now? Me."

"You're not crazy." A voice said from the door.

Mack.

"I... I'd thought you'd hate me."

The girl frowned and walked over to the brunette, "I don't hate you. I just hate what you're saying about yourself." She pulled Octavia into a hug, "You're different. And I for one think different can be amazing."

The girl wiped a stray tear away, "I'm sorry. I'm sorry I ruined your chances with Lela."

"It's okay." Mack smiled, "Maybe it just wasn't meant to be."

Octavia smiled at Madlyn, "I'm sorry, Maddie."

"It's alright." Madlyn said, but clearly sounding upset. "If it's not meant to be, it's not meant to be."

"It's hard, y'know? Feeling the way I do about her." Mack sighed, "I don't even deserve a girl like her. She's be better off with Tanner, he'd know how to treat someone that perfect."

"Mack don't say tha—"

"And you want to know what the saddest part is? I am too much of a wimp to tell her I love her."

She shook her head and wiped away a few tears, "I'm going to go talk to Brady tomorrow."

The girl walked forward and gave both Octavia and Madlyn a hug, smiling at the two through tears.

"And I promise if I find out a faster way to get out of here I will tell you two. Me and Brady aren't leaving without you. I couldn't do that."

Octavia looked at her friend through tears, "What are we supposed to do?"

Madlyn looked at Mack. "You can't leave without telling Lela you love her, Mack. You'll regret it for the rest of your life if you don't."

"But what if she doesn't say it back, I mean? She's already angry with me for not telling the truth. But even more, what if she only likes me because I quote-on-quote saved her life?"

"Mack, didn't you see the way she looked at you earlier? She really does love you." Madlyn reassured her. "And she needs to know you feel the same way."

"You're right." Mack said, after a moment of silence, "I'll tell her. Tomorrow."
