Maritza and Chloe were sitting on their respective soccer players laps while a couple of the other soccer players stand around. Mario had also joined them at their table.
"And I said, that's not a kiwi, that's an emu." One of the soccer players said.
Everybody then laughed at that.
"Any idea what an emu is?" Mario asked Chloe.
"I know it's something Cherry hates getting called." Chloe guessed.
Just then, a waiter came over with some devastating news. "I'm sorry folks, you've completely eaten us out of popcorn shrimp," he said. "There's not one left on the ship."
Everybody groaned.
"I wish we had more popcorn shrimp." Sabrina muttered.
Just then, the purser showed up, pushing a trolley. "Anybody want some popcorn shrimp?" he asked.
Everybody swooped onto the trolley.
"Okay, I think you should leave a tip." Cherry then told Sabrina.
"Yeah, probably." Sabrina replied.
"Oh, the guys are playing in Boston next month. We have to get four tickets to-" Chloe started. "Oh, wait, we only need three tickets, Sabrina's not gonna be here."
"Oh, if they're coming out next month they can come with us to the cape." said Maritza.
"The cape?" asked Sabrina.
"Yeah, we got a timeshare." replied Maritza.
"Really? You guys never mentioned anything about a timeshare." Sabrina said.
"Well, you were so wrapped up in your wedding plans, it didn't seem important." Chloe explained.
"And besides, you're moving to LA. We didn't think you'd care." added Maritza.
"Yeah, I guess I don't," replied Sabrina. "So, Hyannisport or Chatham? Er, it's okay, it doesn't matter. Either way, I'm sure you guys will have a great time."
"Okay, ladies," A soccer player soon said. "Less squawkin' more walkin'... To the dance floor," he then spoke to Mario. "Hey matey, you got a couple more tunes in ya?"
"I could be talked into it," Mario replied. "Just as long as you don't call me matey."
"Fair doos." The player replied.
As her friends got up to party some more, Sabrina began to realize how much fun she was going to miss by not being with them. Thor and Lionel soon poked their heads in, disguised as girls to go in to see what was going on as Sabrina looked a little unhappy.
"Good thing these disguises work..." Lionel remarked. "They're literally so good, nobody's noticed who we are, but yeah, it's pretty obvious Sabrina is bummed out over getting married."
"I knew it!" Thor pouted before glaring. "I say we go home now and I pound the snot out of that Aaron doofus!"
"All in good time..." Lionel told him. "We must approach this situation with caution and nuance."
Sabrina was later back leaning on the railings watching the water flow by and looking slightly down in the mouth. Chloe and Maritza soon found her there.
"Sabrina, are you okay?" asked Maritza.
"Yeah. Y'know, between the shrimp and the accents, I'm just a little... Down under," replied Sabrina. "Really, I'm fine."
"Oh, good." Chloe replied, as she turned back towards the party but was stopped by Maritza.
"No. Something's wrong," she said. "What is it?"
"Well, you know how we were joking around about this being our last hurrah?" asked Sabrina. "Well, then I realized, yeah, it is. I mean, when we get off this ship everything is gonna be different."
"But you're the one that said, just because you're getting married doesn't mean anything's gonna change?" asked Chloe.
"Yeah, but how can it not?" asked Sabrina. "I'm gonna be moving to the other side of the country and you guys'll be back in Boston, living your lives, dating soccer teams..."
"Oh, do you think so?" Chloe interrupted. "Because they are so cute-"
Maritza then gave her a look.
But... This is really sad," Chloe then said before taking out her camera again. "In fact, let's take a picture! The last time we're all really sad together!"
"Can you not dispose of that disposable?" Maritza stopped her before smiling softly. "Sabrina, everything's gonna be fine."
"Besides, I'm not dating a soccer team." Cherry then said.
"Yeah, but how can you know for sure?" Sabrina asked. "I mean, I just wish I knew if our friendship was gonna survive."
"Wuh-oh..." Cherry muttered as that seemed like not a good thing to say right now.
There was suddenly a crunch and they all tumbled to the deck.
"Iceberg!" The purser called out, suddenly coming through.
"What?! No, I didn't even wish that!" Sabrina then cried out.
"Well, you just said 'I wish', so... Yeah." Lionel replied.
A few minutes later, a small inflatable dinghy bobbed on the swell of the ocean in the middle of a deep, dark night. The girls and boys watched the brightly lit SS Saga steam off into the distance.
"Come back! ...Come back!" Sabrina yelled. "They're not coming back!"
Chloe sighed. "I can't believe we're the only idiots who got into a lifeboat." she remarked.
"I can't believe the iceberg didn't even hurt the ship," added Maritza. "Or that there was an iceberg in tropical waters?"
"I know you have magic, but... How did this happen?" asked Chloe.
"Did you ever hear the expression 'Be careful what you wish for'?" asked Sabrina.
"More than I'd like to, really." replied Lionel.
"I know! I wish my uncle were here!" Thor smiled.
But nothing happened.
"Aww... It didn't work..." Thor pouted.
"Probably because he'd have to use magic to get here." Cherry guessed.
"Mm-hmm," replied Lionel. "And the Bermuda Triangle is interfering with your powers... Wonder if it blocks mine?" He snapped, and a small wooden log appeared in his hands. "Well... That just happened." he replied.
"Aw, great!" Cherry groaned. "I guess we can just hope we find somewhere to go."
"Maybe we'll meet those kids who live on that island where nobody goes?" Thor smiled hopefully.
"Thor, please," Cherry rolled her eyes. "Like that'll ever happen."
We are soon shown a deserted sandy beach of a tropical island. Beyond it, were tall palm trees fading into wide leafed jungle undergrowth as the group was soon shipwrecked.
The morning sun made the sand hot underfoot for the shipwrecked group. Chloe sat on a rock checking the mess that her hair was in with her compact mirror. Maritza sat beside her brushing sand off her legs and Sabrina stood barefoot in the sand.
"I wish we were at home! I wish the ship would turn around! I wish my wishes were still working!" The blonde witch exclaimed.
"It sounds like someone is two seconds away from talking to a volleyball." Chloe whispered to Maritza.
"I wish I had a volleyball! Urgh! Why isn't this working?" asked Sabrina, frustrated.
"Well, maybe the Bermuda Triangle is causing some sort of block on your powers." replied Maritza.
"Well Ritz, as long as we're gonna die, you might as well take a picture." said Chloe.
"No! No one's dying, okay?" replied Sabrina. "We just lived through an iceberg, a night in a lifeboat and some very questionable popcorn shrimp. Don't you get it? We survived! I just have a feeling that, any moment now, we're gonna get off this island."
They soon heard an engine which made them look up.
"Someone's coming!" Cherry called out. "We gotta get their attention!"
"Hey look, there's a plane, and I didn't have to wish for it!" Sabrina soon said.
They all jumped up, waving their arms like madwomen.
"Hey, over here! Over here!" Sabrina cried out only to get disappointed. "He seems to be going over there, over there. Don't worry, we'll be fine."
"Wow, look at that," Chloe pointed out. "You don't see a lot o' mountains that spit out smoke and lava."
"Unless it's an active volcano!" Sabrina replied.
"Well, it's official," Maritza sulked. "We're gonna die."
"No! No one's dying." Sabrina replied.
Cherry crossed her arms like a vampire and fell backwards into the sand.
"What are you doing?" Sabrina asked.
"Preparing to die." Cherry replied.
"Thanks so much for the vote of confidence..." Sabrina replied sarcastically. "Look, I'm gonna go get some answers and some firewood."
"Good luck!" Chloe called out to Sabrina before looking to Maritza. "Yeah, like firewood grows on trees."
"Ugh." Maritza rolled her eyes from that.
"Hey... Where'd Thor and Lionel go?" Cherry then asked, looking around with one eye as she lay in the sand.
"Up here...!" Lionel called from the top of a tree. "Long story..."
Cherry soon looked up. "Guys?!" she then called out.
"Hey, Cherry," Thor smiled. "Just hangin' around like a couple of monkeys."
"Oy." Cherry face-palmed.
Meanwhile, Sabrina had headed to confront the small man she had spotted on the other part of the island. "You! Hey, I know you're behind all this craziness!" she yelled. "No sane person would wear those shorts! Look, I want off this island and I want off it now!"
The man held out his hand with a smile. "Hi, Bob Bermuda. Welcome to my triangle." he replied casually.
"Your triangle?" asked Sabrina.
"Yeah, it's a family business left to me by my father who mysteriously disappeared." Bob replied. "Occupational hazard. Ha-ha."
"So is being beaten senseless with a coconut," replied Sabrina without missing a beat. "Look, I know I wished to know if our friendship would survive, well guess what? It did! Game over! Send us home."
Bob scoffed. "You call that surviving? You practically fell into a lifeboat, washed up on a deserted island without even having to lift a paddle! You haven't even eaten a rat yet!" he replied.
"Whoa-whoa-whoa! A tidal wave?!" Sabrina exclaimed. "What are we supposed to do?"
"Oh, I'm sorry," said Bob. "Here." he took the little cocktail umbrella from his drink and handed it to her.
Sabrina gave a deadpan expression. "Thanks."
And Bob vanished into the jungle shortly after.
"Well... That was pointless." remarked Cherry.
"He is so...!" Sabrina started, before remembering. "Oh, yeah, tidal wave!" She tossed the umbrella aside and ran back down the beach towards her friends.
Thor and Lionel continued to sit in the tree together.
"Should we get down?" Thor asked as he played with a coconut, putting a hat on it and covering part of it before holding it out to Lionel. "Wilson and I are bored," he then changed his voice for a little in-joke. "Howdy ho, Neighbor Lionel!"
"Heh... Tom Hanks." Lionel chuckled.
"Oh, how do we get off this island?!" Cherry groaned in anguish. "I can't die out here..."
"Aw, Cherry, it'll be okay," Thor said, leaning over a bit. "It could be worse."
"Yeah, I guess..." Cherry said before looking up with a yelp.
Thor then crashed down on top of her. "Whoops... Sorry, Cherry..." he then said sheepishly before getting off of her, then picked her up and dusted her clean. "Is that better?"
Cherry let out a firm groan in annoyance.
"Sorry..." Lionel replied. "I dunno if my magic still works here. That log thing could've been a fluke."
"Yeah... Not sure what that was about," Cherry replied. "I guess we might as well get settled in like in Gilligan's Island."
Sabrina pushed her way through the dense undergrowth with Chloe and Maritza following in single file until they finally come back out onto the beach. They managed to survive the tidal wave although they all looked the worse for wear from the experience. Their dresses from the party on board the SS Saga were torn rags; their hair was frizzed and unkempt. Sabrina and Chloe unwrapped lengths of seaweed from themselves. Somehow, though, Maritza had come out of it remarkably unscathed.
"And I thought seaweed wraps were supposed to be relaxing..." Sabrina remarked. "And Maritza, where did you learn to scale a palm tree like that?"
"Do you have any idea what a 20-foot wall of water would do to my hair?" asked Maritza.
Sabrina pointed at her own hair. "Yeah, kinda."
"Iceberg: weird, lost at sea: scary but the tidal wave?" Chloe said. "This is officially the worst bachelorette party ever!"
Thunder rumbled ominously in the distance. The first heavy drops of rain fell onto Sabrina and the wind picked up blowing in from the sea. Chloe calmly sat on a rock and started touching up her makeup.
"Guys, I think we've got bigger problems," said Sabrina. "And I'm guessing those storm clouds on the horizon aren't going to be a refreshing tropical rain."
"I'm thinking we need to find a shelter and we need to find one now!" Lionel added.
"And all I'm saying is I've got to get something to eat before I starve to death!" Chloe exclaimed.
"Coconut?" Thor offered.
"Sure!" Chloe replied, taking it from him. "I'll use it on your head!"
"Guys, focus!" Sabrina cried out. "Hurricane on the horizon!"
"Ugh, how do you prepare for a hurricane on an island?!" Cherry panicked a bit.
"Hell if I know." Lionel replied.
"A shelter!" Thor said. "We should make a storm shelter!"
"We have to." Sabrina added sharply.
"Well, I guess I missed it when you claimed this beach for Sabrinia." Chloe remarked.
"Oh, shelters the #1 priority?" Maritza then asked. "Why don't we just dig our own grave?"
"Look, Miss Doom and Gloom, Lose the attitude and make yourself useful!" Sabrina replied. "You're acting worse than Cherry."
"What's that supposed to mean?!" Cherry glared.
"Oh, I don't know," Sabrina glared back. "Maybe because all you've been doing for the past few weeks is antagonizing my fiancé and ruining this bachelorette trip with your stupid boyfriends!"
Lionel sniffed, looking genuinely hurt. "Well... If that's how you feel... Then don't bother expecting a wedding present!" he replied as he seemed to vanish.
"Lionel, come back here!" Cherry cried out before glaring at Sabrina. "Now look at what you did!"
"It would be nice if, just once, you didn't try to ruin everything!" Maritza added.
"And it would be nice if, just once, I didn't have to!" Sabrina said as she snatched the coconut from her. "Now I am trying to save your lives!"
"Well, maybe you could do your whole save-the-day act before the elements completely destroy my skin!" Chloe replied.
"This just in, Chloe!" Sabrina then said. "Nobody cares about your skin!"
"I wish I never accepted that stupid wedding invitation!" Cherry snapped at Sabrina. "Now I'm stuck here without Lionel and I have to be stuck with you all because you're bitter about your own feelings!"
"Well, nobody asked you to meddle in my life!" Sabrina retorted. "I'm gonna marry Aaron, and that's that!"
"Oh, wait! Let's take a picture," said Chloe. "This will be the last photo I can cut you two out of!"
Sabrina groaned. "I can't believe I was actually upset about moving away from you people!" she exclaimed. "Unluckily, 3,000 miles isn't enough!"
Thor looked a bit upset from the fighting.
"Well, don't let the palm frond hit you on your way out!" Maritza soon told Sabrina.
"Oh, so it's true. If you want something done right-" Sabrina glared, whacking the coconut with the heel of Chloe's shoe and the coconut soon fell into two neat halves. "I have to show everyone else how to do it!"
"Well, I don't need you to show me how to do anything!" Maritza said before storming off away up the beach.
"Why do you guys have to fight?" Thor complained, sitting by himself sadly. "Why can't we all just get along?"
"Why don't you just grow up?!" Sabrina told him. "We might be cousins through marriage, but you're just a big fat embarrassment to everybody!"
"Sabrina!" Cherry gasped and glared.
Thor glared, and thunder seemed to rumble over his head... And then he ran off, crying his eyes out.
"Sabrina, I can't believe you..." Cherry said as she then walked away.
"Fine! Go ahead. I'll build a shelter by myself!" Sabrina called out. "While you guys are being blown over the rainbow, give my regards to Glinda!" she then said to herself "Oh, I forgot to thank her for that shower gift!" she then yelled out against the hurricane. "Okay, Bob, point made. My friendship wont survive. Thanks for the heads up. I'd like to go home now..."
There was no answer though.
"Bob?" Sabrina called in concern. "Mr. Bermuda? It looks like I'm shouting in the wind here!" she then wiped her chin. "And spitting."
With a mighty crash, a tall palm tree crashed to the ground, missing Sabrina by inches.
"And running!" Sabrina soon said, running off down the beach in the direction that Chloe and Maritza took.
