"Okaaaay…. I don't know what I was expecting, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't that," Uma spoke awkwardly, looking at the really creepy old looking shack wood house in the middle of the woods. The girls had actually not known what to expect because George had ended up bringing the donkey back to Lester during the whole fiasco with it chasing Uma and with Evie on top.
Evie gulped, and Mal quickly noticed that Evie was starting to sneak her foot forward in the floorboard. Mal quickly reached over and put her hand on Evie's knee to keep her from hitting the gas pedal as hard as she could and leaving the place.
"I'm going to die, you guys," Audrey announced to them dramatically, and Uma just raised an eyebrow at her. "It's not in the exact way that I thought of, but it is because of Uma."
"Wait, you think of me being the cause of your death?" Uma asked, and Audrey nodded with a sniff as she withdrew her phone.
"It's so scary," Jane commented, fearfully peering out the window as if she were afraid some ghoul or goblin would come gobble her up from the forest around them.
"Okay… I love you, and I am very sorry that I will never see you again. I planned for us to have five kids, each one named after us, and for you to arise to the throne by my side. Jay, I hereby give you the right to distribute everything I own amongst worthy individuals, and I officially give you permission to take all of Uma's stuff, too, since she was the person that got us into this," Audrey spoke aloud, and before she could send the text, Uma snatched it from her grasp, deleting all that Audrey had typed so quickly. Audrey shot her a glare as she tried to take it back from the pirate.
"Give me back my phone!"
"No! We don't want the boys to know about this! Then they'll come out here and drag us away, and I won't even get a taste of frog legs up in my mouth!" Uma informed her, stuffing Audrey's phone in Uma's pocket.
After a paused moment of looking out the window, the other girls mentally preparing themselves for what they were about to do, Uma unbuckled her seatbelt. Uma grabbed the car door, starting to open it, and she looked back at Audrey somewhat offendedly.
"And besides all that, don't you be giving away my stuff without my full consent," Uma informed her shortly. Audrey rolled her eyes, but shot a fearful glance at the house as she got out behind Jane.
Mal got out of the Jeep carefully, on-guard in case something was going to come out of the forest like Audrey seemed to believe. Evie came around the front of Charlene, and when she did, the most blood-curdling sound split the air, and Mal jumped out of her skin and nearly onto Evie as she clung onto the other girl.
"M, what-" Evie started to question, but she quickly realized precisely what had scared Mal so badly. Not too far from them ears perked in an alert stance, there was a large hound dog standing in the yard. Mal was now nearly climbed onto Evie, and Evie sighed slightly, bracing herself firmly as Mal held on tightly.
"Mal, it's just a dog, and I think you startled it," Evie informed her, and Mal looked at Evie with wide eyes as she held onto the bluenette tightly.
"I startled it?! It startled me!" Mal cried, and Evie shook her head, bracing herself strongly against Mal weight as she grabbed under Mal's legs to better support her as she walked them toward the house. Audrey followed along with Uma close by her and Jane trailing behind the both of them nervously.
They approached the door, and Mal finally decided to get down off of the Evie piggyback ride, but she did linger close to Evie, despite her firm shake of the shoulders and casual tilt of the head as she attempted to regain some sense of pride and dignity.
Uma knocked on the door solidly and carefully, and after only a moment, Bobby Ray was at the door and had answered it. His eyes immediately lit up as he looked at Evie.
"Y'all are here!" he excitedly proclaimed, and he waved them in.
"Come on in!" Bobby Ray told them as he stood aside for them to enter. Audrey offered Uma a glare but straightened a bit as she very gracefully walked in, guessing that if she was going to die that night then she'd die with poise.
Evie automatically laced her fingers in Mal's tightly, and she reached her other hand to grab Mal's same arm as she tried to ensure that none of her hands were free for grabbing. After the stunt that Bobby Ray had pulled when she last saw him earlier, she honestly wanted to keep him from having a chance to do it again.
He looked a little disappointed, and Evie assumed that he must have indeed been planning to try it again. However, he quickly shook it off, and they turned to the left to look at the large dinner table nearby the kitchen just behind it.
All of the boys were already seated, seemingly just waiting for the girls to come in. They all put on their most winning grins directed at the girl of their choice, and Jane almost turned and ran out the door as Hank looked at her.
A woman in the kitchen turned around to face them, hardly a tooth in her head as she looked at the girls. Audrey swallowed, subtly swiping her tongue over her own perfect teeth just to ensure they were still where they belonged and in proper order.
"Good evenin', ladies," the woman spoke up in a highly affected country accent, and Evie offered her one of those big grins that had all of her usual charm but had her signature "help me" look in her eyes.
"I'm Missus Jolene Beauregard," she introduced, and Evie nodded gracefully, answering for everyone else since they were much too busy staring at the woman's teeth or lack thereof. Of course, it didn't stop Evie from singing Dolly Parton's "Jolene" in her head.
"Hi! It's so nice to meet you. This is Mal, that's Audrey, this one here's Uma, the girl in the back is Jane, and I'm Evie."
"Oh, so you're Evie? I've heard a lot about you," Mrs. Beauregard winked in a conspiratorial sort of manner, and Evie swallowed but mustered a slight semblance of a smile.
"Come on, sit down. I wanna get to know my future daughter-in-law," she grinned widely, not a hint of joking in her expression. Evie shared a subtle glance with Mal, feeling her heart stop as she thought of the horrid nightmare that would be having the position of Mrs. Genevieve Catarina Beauregard.
But before they could begin to obey her command, an older man came stumbling in through the back door, the dog from earlier coming in with him. Evie immediately felt Mal cling a little tighter to her, but the dog passed by after only a small sniff in their direction, too interested in the food to be bothered with the girls. The man took one look at them before he headed over with a big grin.
"Hey, there," the man greeted. "I'm Lester."
They all smiled at him and Evie went through the introductions once more.
"Let me just say, I'm glad that y'all came over to see us and our boys. They're mighty excited about y'all," Lester told them with a big grin, and all of the girls expressed varying forms of very hesitant agreement.
"Well, well, well! Let's sit down and enjoy these vittles, then, why don't we?!" Lester announced with a smile, taking his place at the head of the table. After taking off her large white apron, Jolene sat at the other end.
"Well, we've got everything set up for y'all. Just add more to your plates if you need it," the boys' mother announced as everyone awkwardly took their seats. Evie sat nearest to the head of the table with Mal following, Audrey after her, Uma in the next seat, and Jane at the very end.
"Would one of you girls like to say the blessing?" Lester questioned after a moment, and the girls were taken off-guard a bit. However, Evie was quick on the uptake and started to nod her assent, but Mal quickly interrupted her before she could volunteer.
"Yes, sir, if you don't mind, I think our good friend Uma should. She's the reason that we got to come to this," Mal paused, looking at the deer heads mounted to the wall and the various trophies and fish surrounding her. She swallowed before finishing her sentence.
"This wonderful household of yours," Mal complimented finally, and the man just smiled at her sweetly. Mal looked to Uma, nodding as she knew she had put Uma in a difficult position. Of course, in Mal's opinion, she was pretty sure the other girl deserved it fully.
Uma shot her a strange look, but to her credit, she did clear her throat and get ready to pray. Everyone else at the table bowed their heads respectfully.
"Well, um," Uma stammered for just a moment, trying to think of what in the world she was going to say. She suddenly got a great idea- or at least the best idea that she could think of on that short of notice- and she took a deep breath.
"Okay… Well, we pledge allegiance to the United States of Auradon," Uma started, and everyone immediately opened their eyes as they looked at the pirate with her eyes closed.
"And to the republic for which it stands," Uma continued, and Audrey just gaped at her as if she had lost her mind.
"One nation under God… uh… indivisible!" Uma picked up where she had left off, and Evie furrowed her brow, hesitantly bringing her right hand to her heart as she slowly arose. Mal shook her head, but let Evie have her patriotism.
"With liberty and justice for all. The end!" Uma finished, opening her eyes and starting to tear into her food. Evie returned to her seat carefully, and Audrey offered everyone at the table an awkward smile as she tried to make up for whatever the heck that Uma had just done.
All of the countryfolk started into their meal and Audrey started to poke at her frog legs carefully. Evie was trying to decide whether to use her fork or her fingers, but she couldn't quite settle on which. Mal didn't even attempt to look remotely interested in the food as she crossed her legs in her chair to avoid the mutt in the floor. Honestly, with that dog under the table, Mal was ready to leave no matter what terms they were all on by the end of it.
After only a few moments, the painfully awkward silence was interrupted by Uma's loud sounds of appreciation.
"Mmm, mmm, mmm! You boys didn't tell me it'd be like heaven in food," Uma proclaimed, and the boys all considerably perked up as they grinned widely.
"It's good, ain't it? We told you it would be!" Beau proudly announced, and Uma nodded, pointing her fork at him with a smile.
Audrey was still poking at her frog legs just barely, and Mal was subtly watching Evie as she used her hand to beckon the dog over nearby her. Evie then took the frog leg in her hand and put it near her mouth before letting her hand drop slowly and feeding it to the dog carefully.
Mal couldn't help but commend her on her creativity and cunning. Evie scratched the dog under the chin before working another frog leg down to him carefully and slowly.
"Man, am I sorry that I didn't have this in my life before!" Uma complimented, and Lester visibly puffed up at the praises to his cooking.
"I'll tell you what, little lady, you have as much as you want," Lester told her warmly, and Uma nodded with bright eyes.
Jane had originally not planned to eat any frog legs- after all, Audrey claimed they were terribly nasty- but now that she saw Uma, the nearest in proximity to her of the group of girls, eating the stuff like it was going out of style, Jane couldn't help but have second thoughts.
So Jane hesitantly took her fork and ate a bite of one. She hummed in appreciation, enjoying the taste, and she looked down the line at Audrey.
"It tastes like chicken!" Jane announced before eating more of it. She tried diligently not to pay attention to Hank sitting right across from her and staring, but it wasn't too hard of a feat since the frog legs were so good.
"So, tell me about y'all," Jolene spoke, and all of the girls had a collective pause before resuming in whatever they had been doing before. Evie cleared her throat, unsure of what to say as she felt Jolene's as well as Bobby Ray's gazes on her heavily.
"Any hobbies? Y'all like to fish?" Jolene asked, and Evie immediately remembered the fish that she, Mal, and Jane had successfully caught at George and Anne's pond.
"Actually, yeah. I caught a fish just the other evening that was at least a foot and a half long," Evie informed them nonchalantly, and she smiled against her will when her audience seemed to almost draw closer in their eagerness to hear about it.
"Ooh… Tell us, tell us!" Junior begged.
"How'd you catch it?" Bobby Ray asked, and Evie grinned widely as she subtly fed another bit to the dog. Mal almost rolled her eyes, knowing that Evie was about to launch into what Mal referred to as ham mode.
"Well… We were at a pond not too far from here," Evie started, and Mal readied herself for whatever great yarn Evie was going to spin. Uma wasn't really paying attention, and she was mostly focused on the frog legs. Jane was eating them, too, but not quite as fast as Uma.
"It was me, this one, and Jane in the boat, and I had just set loose the perfect cast," Evie recounted, and Jane suddenly realized that her stomach didn't feel so well. It rumbled uncomfortably and Jane immediately stopped eating, realizing that those frog legs obviously weren't doing her stomach any good at all.
"But that was when what felt like the hound of Hades viciously clamped down upon my line, dragging it down to the depths of the pond," Evie proclaimed, giving another bite to the dog since everyone was so centered on her story and her face as she told it. Audrey just rolled her eyes in response to Evie's crazy storytelling.
Jane suddenly realized that her stomach was hurting really badly and there was a certain pressure that she didn't recognize before. So she subtly crossed her legs in an attempt to ward it away.
"It had me really good, so I grabbed onto that pole seriously hard. Yes, I meant business, and I latched onto that pole like an alligator, my grip unrelenting and steadfast," Evie described, and Mal had to give it to the other girl. Evie could tell a great story.
"What happened then?!" Bobby Ray asked, his eyes more on her mouth than the rest of her face.
"It almost dragged me in. But with Mal grabbing onto my middle, and Jane grabbing onto Mal's, we pulled," Evie explained. Jane realized quickly that something bad was going to happen as the pressure increased in her stomach.
"And we pulled. And we pulled! And we pulled! Until-"
All of a sudden, there was a fart that sounded off at the table. Evie paused immediately in her story, looking down the line of people as she found herself bumfuzzled at the fact that somebody had actually passed gas in their current setting.
"Uh… We didn't pull that hard," Evie murmured, and Mal laughed once sharply, unable to keep in her awkward mirth.
At this point, everyone was looking at everybody around the table. Uma had the oddest smirk on her face, but Mal knew that she couldn't have done it. Mal knew that Uma was either silent but deadly or loud and proud. Whatever just happened a moment ago was neither of those. It was more in the middle.
However, before anyone could come to any conclusions about who it might or might not have been, Uma suddenly started waving her hand around her face, coughing.
"Dadgum, that is horrible! Have mercy on my soul! Dang, Jane, those frog legs didn't set well with you, did they?!" Uma pronounced and everyone in the room immediately knew precisely who had done it.
The four boys across from them were gaping at Jane, and from the look on their faces, they were confused about whether they were more impressed by her now or significantly less attracted to her.
"I'm gonna have a brown haze around my head for the rest of the night!" Uma complained loudly, wheezing as Audrey slapped her arm in an attempt to make the pirate stop talking. Jane was sinking down in her seat in pure and terrible mortification.
Mal honestly couldn't take the awkwardness of the situation anymore, and so she started laughing, adding to the pandemonium unfolding on the girls' side of the table.
Evie looked at all of her friends, realizing quickly that she was the only one amongst them that was perfectly calm and normal acting. Evie sighed, and ultimately decided that she needed to step up and be the adult in this situation.
"Mr. and Mrs. Beauregard, let me sincerely apologize for their behavior. This one," Evie placed a hand on Mal's head as she practically fell in the floor laughing, "the loud one," Evie pointed at Uma fussing loudly about Jane's supposed stink, "and the one who pooted," Evie finished, pointing at Jane, and Mal snorted hard at Evie's terminology as she laughed even more.
"Oh, it's alright, hon, you ought to hear Lester when he rips one," Jolene told Evie with a cackle.
"Now, dear, you drop the bombs when everybody's least expecting it!' Lester proclaimed, and Evie suddenly realized that she was truly the only person in the entire room that was normal.
"I'm gonna have to go home and shower to get this stench off!" Uma kept on complaining, and Audrey kept on shaking her shoulder and trying to make her stop.
"Whoo, and it keeps on giving! You sure you didn't crap in your pants? Never trust a fart, after all!" Uma announced, and Jane was nearly glowing red as she sunk further into her seat.
Audrey rolled her eyes, deciding that she needed to get out of there for a minute as she stood up. Not to mention that she had to pee.
"Excuse me, but where's the restroom?" Audrey questioned.
"Why're you going? The frog legs not doing you no good neither?" Uma questioned, coughing hard. Audrey just glared at her.
"I have to pee, now quiet down!" Audrey harshly whispered, and Evie looked at Audrey somewhat strangely.
"I always call it twinkling," Evie informed her seriously, and Mal laughed even harder, almost wheezing at this rate, and Audrey just rolled her eyes, irritated at the fact that Evie had fallen prey to the ridiculousness of these people in here.
"We got us an outhouse 'round back," Lester informed her with a grin, and Audrey's eyes widened a bit as she took in that fact. However, she was more than willing to go out and look for it if it meant getting away from the scene that Uma and Jane had successfully created.
"Thank you very much. I'll be right back," Audrey informed them, and to her surprise and pure dread, Uma got up with her.
"I think I'll come with you. This is killing me," Uma told her, and Audrey very begrudgingly headed out the back door with Uma behind her.
As soon as they were outside, Audrey launched into a whispering angry rant as she looked for the outhouse.
"What the heck is wrong with you?! You called out Jane farting and made an enormous scene at the dinner table!" Audrey told her angrily, and Uma shrugged.
"At least I got my frog legs."
"And those danged frog legs! Could you have stopped shoveling them in your mouth for two seconds to think of table manners?!" Audrey cried, finally seeing the outhouse as they headed toward it.
"Yeah, but they're so good. You should've tried them," Uma pointed out, and Audrey growled under her breath.
"Those are unclean and positively disgusting!" Audrey informed her harshly, and they were quiet as Audrey reached the door to the outhouse. She immediately thought she would gag at the disgusting stench, but she held the contents of her stomach firmly where they belonged.
"And what were you doing in there when you prayed?! That's the Pledge of Allegiance!" Audrey cried.
"Well, it was either that or talk about God and Cheez-Its, but I decided to do the Pledge since it sounded more appropriate for our situation," Uma told her, and Audrey stared at the other girl as if she lost her mind.
"Who and what is Cheez-Its?"
"You know. Who people always talk about when they talk about God and stuff," Uma nonchalantly explained, obviously not understanding the mistake in wording that she had made.
"That's Jesus, you nincompoop!" Audrey almost yelled, and went into the outhouse quickly, shutting the door behind her quickly.
"Oh! So that's why I get such strange looks when I say Cheez-Its crackers are holy!"
She immediately realized there were leeches on the walls of the outhouse, and she closed her eyes, truly preferring that she didn't know why. Audrey quickly got ready to hover over the toilet, but she suddenly heard a loud croak. Audrey jumped away from the toilet, pulling her pants up quickly before turning to look at the latrine, and she realized an enormous bullfrog was sitting in the bowl looking at her with its giant bug eyes.
Audrey immediately screeched, tumbling back into the door as she opened it swiftly. Uma jumped out of her way, trying to figure out what had spooked the princess.
"What is your problem?"
"Go in there and look! It's friggin' horrifying!" Audrey screeched, and Uma reopened the door.
Uma stepped in and immediately winced in disgust, but she quickly spotted the giant frog. Uma couldn't help but laugh about the entire situation, and she turned back to Audrey.
"Seriously? A frog?"
"They're haunting me on my plate and on the other side. And I didn't even eat them!" Audrey gagged at the very thought and Uma chuckled.
"You ready to go back in, princess?" Uma asked, and Audrey shook her head.
"No! I still have to pee!" Audrey protested, and Uma nodded, pointing to the large tree not too far away.
"Alright, then, why don't you go around the back of that tree over there and do your thing?" Uma suggested, and Audrey cringed, looking between the house and the tree.
"Uma, that is just crude! And what if one of those boys comes out here, and you know!" Audrey whined, trailing off as she looked at Uma expectantly, and Uma raised an eyebrow.
"See your naked butt?" Uma questioned, and Audrey nodded emphatically.
"Yes!"
"Don't worry, I'll stand guard," Uma told her confidently. Audrey sighed deeply, trying to decide how badly she needed to pee. Ultimately, the side that said really badly won, and Audrey huffed, heading for the tree with Uma not too far behind her.
Uma leaned against the side of the tree facing the house, and Audrey went around behind it.
"Now, Uma, you watch that door like a hawk," Audrey commanded, and Uma rolled her eyes.
"As you wish, princess," Uma replied shortly, watching the door idly.
However, after only a moment, the most wicked idea came to Uma. She realized that Audrey couldn't see most of what she could see on her side of the tree, and so she ultimately made the decision to have a little fun with that fact.
"Hey, Beau! What brings you out here?" Uma asked loudly, and she could feel Audrey's scowl.
"Oh, this is not going to be like jail. I'm not falling for it this time," Audrey told her firmly, and Uma held back the laugh.
"Who? Audrey? Oh, yeah, she's back here doing her twinkle thing," Uma spoke, and Audrey furrowed her brow in worry, trying to gauge whether Uma was just tricking her.
"You're messing with me," Audrey almost uncertainly pointed out, and Uma decided that she'd keep going since she had the girl almost convinced of Beau's presence there.
"Yeah, I know. It's so dang rude for a lady to be taking a whiz in your backyard, am I right?" Uma continued, and Audrey finally broke.
"He's not really there?! Uma?! Please?!" Audrey begged, and Uma finally allowed herself to laugh about it.
"Gotcha," Uma chuckled, and Audrey sighed in frustration.
"You are so irritating."
Uma looked around the yard curiously, waiting on Audrey to finish up. However, before she could look too far, she suddenly spotted what was quite possibly the most terrifying sight that she had seen all day.
There not too far from her was Willis the donkey, and he was grazing nearby. Uma's eyes widened as she instinctually pressed herself a bit closer to the tree.
"Oh, crap, oh, crap, oh, crap," Uma spoke aloud, and the donkey suddenly stopped its eating and looked up at her. They met eyes and Uma felt the sudden urge to run.
"You aren't tricking me a third time," Audrey told her with a knowing laugh, but Uma shook her head.
"I'm not," Uma replied, and she had just enough worry in her voice to actually concern Audrey.
"Uma? What's going on?" Audrey asked, and Uma stared the donkey down. It looked at her strangely before starting to walk toward her.
"No, no, no! It's coming closer," Uma announced, and Audrey was freaking out a bit.
"What?!" The donkey started hurrying toward Uma faster, and Uma went into full panic mode.
"DANGIT!" Uma screamed, taking off for the house quickly as the donkey started toward her.
However, Audrey wasn't even aware of what Uma had just ran from, and for all she knew, it was some machete-wielding hillbilly waiting to murder her when she came out from around the tree. Audrey quickly pulled her pants up and pressed herself hard against the tree, trying to cautiously peer around it. At this point, all she could see was what looked like Willis.
Audrey took a few deep breaths, trying to calm herself as she thought rationally. What would a survivor do? One of those in the books that she so loved to read? Audrey sighed deeply, closing her eyes as she really dreaded what she was about to do.
Audrey sucked in a breath before taking off toward the house as fast as she possibly could, opening the back door quickly and almost slamming it behind her in her haste. She stood there for a moment, catching her breath, before heading back into the dining room to find Uma.
"Uma?" Audrey called, and she spotted the girl sitting there and eating frog legs as if nothing ever happened. Evie was trying to get Mal to quieten, and Lester was telling Jane all about his most embarrassing farts.
Uma looked up at Audrey innocently as if she hadn't just done what she had done, and Audrey narrowed her eyes.
"What?" Audrey just came and sat between her and Mal as she leaned over near to the pirate.
"Why did you leave me out there?"
"Well… There were complications."
"All I saw was a donkey."
"That was the complication."
"Uh-huh…"
"So, did I ever tell y'all about how I went to bed one night to the worst smell in the world?" Lester suddenly spoke, and Audrey just rolled her eyes, facepalming as she listened to Lester recount the most stinky gas he'd ever smelled.
Needless to say, it was a long rest of the evening there at the Beauregard house, and when they finally got ready to leave, every one of the boys was offering to wish them a goodbye when they left the next day. The girls just smiled and waved, and as soon as they got in the Jeep, they all did a full body shiver at the thought of having to see any members of that family any longer.
And when they finally got back to where they were staying with George and Anne, they were fully ready to go to bed.
But they had one more thing planned that Evie had hinted at almost every night when looking out the window at the barn.
So, Evie, Audrey, Mal, Uma with her puppy, and Jane were all relaxing there in a clear space in the cattle pasture as they looked at the stars, all of them aligned in a circle as they gazed upward. The stars were positively gorgeous, and they all were enamored by them. After all, on the Isle, there were no stars, and in the hubbub of Auradon, there were rarely stars to be seen.
Evie sighed deeply in contentment, and Mal looked over at her with a smile.
"Are you happy?" Mal asked, reaching for Evie's hand and squeezing it gently.
"Yeah… this is great," Evie expressed with a contented smile, and Mal nodded happily.
"Hey, y'all? You think we should tell the boys what went down tonight when we call in just a sec?" Uma questioned, stroking the white puppy next to her as it slept against her stomach comfortably. Uma smiled softly at it before turning her attentions to the other girls.
"No," Mal replied simply.
"Definitely not," Evie expressed with a slight laugh, and they looked at the stars for a moment more before Uma reached for her phone with a sigh.
"Alright… I guess I'll call Gil," Uma told them, and she dialed her crewmate swiftly, holding back the phone from her face so she could speak to the boy.
"Hello? Oh, hi, Uma!" Gil greeted with a large, goofy grin. Uma couldn't help but smile back.
"Hey, dude. What's up?"
"Nothing much. Are you guys still at the farm?"Gil questioned, and Uma knew he wasn't questioning them, but was rather honestly asking.
"Yeah. Look at the stars, you knucklehead," Uma told him, turning the camera up to the sky so that he could see.
"Wow… I wish I was there…
"But how are you guys doing? Are you having fun?" Gil asked cheerily, and Uma nodded.
"Yeah, as fun as can be expected," Uma told him, referencing all of the fun moments they had during that week.
"That's good. The other guys really thought you girls would be having no fun at all. Especially Harry and Jay."
"Why's that?"Uma asked curiously, honestly thinking that sounded a little fishy.
"Because Ben, Carlos, Jay, and Harry planned up all of you guys' jobs that you were given on the farm," Gil told them, and they all froze as they focused on what he had said.
"What?" Uma asked, almost venomously as she took in this bit of information.
"Oops! I wasn't supposed to say anything!" Gil spoke, looking suddenly worried. Uma mustered up a big grin as she looked at the boy.
"Oh, don't worry about it, Gil. Hey, listen, we've got to go. We'll see you guys tomorrow afternoon or evening, okay?" Uma told him, full of false sweetness. Gil looked immensely relieved as he sighed and nodded happily.
They got off the phone, and the girls quietly considered exactly what they had just heard.
"I am going to kill them when we get home," Audrey spoke first, and Uma nodded wholeheartedly. However, Mal smiled evilly suddenly, and Evie looked at her curiously.
"What are you thinking?" the bluenette asked, and Mal just shook her head.
"Let's give the boys a taste of evil," Mal announced, and they all nodded eagerly, looking forward to hearing this plan.
"First, I say we hit the sack. I'll fill you in on the details as we head back," Mal told them, and they all started to get up. They all clambered to their feet, Uma grabbing her sleepy puppy in her arms, and Evie suddenly grinned sweetly.
"Hey, guys, on the bright side, I just realized that Elmer didn't even bite me today!" Evie cried as they stood up there in the grassy field. But before she could appreciate this thought for much longer, she suddenly felt a hard pinch and a honk behind her.
"YOU LITTLE HONKY TONKY BOOTY BITER!"
A/N: Well… It's coming to an end you guys… But we've still got two or three chapters to go! It's been a wild ride, and special thanks to Tessa, Descendants4, and Carpenterfan03 for sticking with me and giving such beautiful reviews.
