Chapter Overview:
In this chapter, Mal, Evie, Audrey and Ben are transported to the Isle, where they take refuge in Dr Facilier's shop and encounter Freddie.
Audrey: Uh! What is this hideous place?
The VK's gasped.
"That's the Isle..." Mal said.
Mal: My home.
Audrey: We're on The Isle of the Lost? Eww! Ben! Save me!
Mal glared at Audrey, jealousy running through her.
Mal: Now I know why they say: 'Be careful what you wish for.'
Evie: I have forgotten how bad the city's drainage system is. They seriously need better catch-basins.
Everyone turned and looked at Evie.
"Seriously?" Mal asked, bewildered. "We're back on the Isle and the first thing you say is about the drainage system?!"
"What?" Evie shrugged.
Mal: Really?
Evie: I'm taking Sustainable Urban Planning this semester.
(Ben pulls out his phone and looks at it.)
Audrey: Does it say where we are?
Ben: Thanks to my dad there's no service on The Isle of the Lost.
"Uh, yeah! Carlos snorted. "No kidding!"
Adam winced and looked at the VK's apologetically.
Audrey: So we can't even find a way out of here?! Can we even selfie? Okay, this place needs so many filters.
Lonnie turns and raises an eyebrow at Audrey.
Ben: Uh, excuse me, ma'am. You dropped... my wallet
"Yeah, you should watch that..." Mal winced. "There's a LOT of thieves around."
Evie: We should find a place to hide.
Mal: Uh, yeah. Before anybody sees we're here.
Evie shudders. "Yeah, I'd expect that we're not very popular over there."
Mal: There!
Audrey: How are we supposed to get there? There's mud everywhere!
Ben: I'll just throw my jacket over the-
Belle and Adam smile proudly at their son.
Mal: Why would you cover up such a perfect puddle of mud?
(Mal goes and jumps around in the mud.)
Evie: Liking mud is not a VK thing. It's a Mal thing.
Mal smirks and sinks down in her seat.
Ben: Wait. Is this place even open? 'Store hours: Whenever we feel like it.'
"Yeah, that's just like most of the shops on the Isle," Jay said, shrugging.
Mal: Look at all of this junk! Oh! Dictatorship for Beginners!
Evie: It's so beautiful. Don't get jelly.
Audrey: Figures! The only remotely interesting item here would be on the must-go rack. What's this?! It's beautiful.
Freddie: Are you stealing that?
"Here we go again." Mal sighed.
Audrey: It was hanging with the dress. I would never steal.
Freddie: I mean, why are you stealing that when you could be stealing this. It's way cuter. Go ahead! Take it.
"Wait, what?" Audrey was shocked.
Audrey: No, I can't. That's wrong.
Freddie: That's the whole point. It's what we do here. Go on, take it.
Mal: Oh, no.
Ben: Oh, no what?
Mal: It's Freddie.
Ben: Freddie? Short for Frederique?
Mal: Short for 'Let's blow this voodoo stand.'
"Yeah." Evie winces. "That's Dr Facilier's daughter."
