Linda woke up in a jail cell.

"Poor kid. I heard she's headed for de-makeuping." A random Desian, who Lloyd recognized as Jill, the one who Gina and Cole had defeated at the temple, said.

"Yeah poor kid. Though I'm sure if she was to look back at our conversation in a while it'd make way more sense." Said Desian number two, who we will know call Jack.

Jack and Jill ran up the hill, well, they left through the door actually. Leaving a very familiar Desian to guard Linda.

"Tess!" Linda asked surprised.

Tess fiddled with the lock and the door sprung open, allowing Linda to escape, "Hey Linda. What's up?"

"Oh nothing. Just got thrown in jail for having a tube of lip-gloss I shouldn't have or something like that. You?"

Tess shrugged, "Guard duty. Oh and here's all your stuff!" She handed Linda all her belongings.

The swords… umm… girl smiled and hugged Tess, "Thanks so much for getting me out of jail and risking your job and all."

"No problem, just shot me with your ring so it looks like you forced the door open."

Linda aimed at Tess, "Oh wait! Almost forgot!" She dug in her pockets, pulling out a tube of lip-gloss on a string, "I bought you this. It's a friendship, lip-gloss necklace! I have the other half."

"Aww. That's so cool Linda."

Linda shot her with the ring. Tess fainted.

She quickly made her way past a stupid puzzle room, a hallway, a bathroom and a framed picture of Krystal doing the can-can. Ending up in a weird room with a funny shaped box hovering in the middle.

"Who the hell designed this place? Was he on crack?" She muttered, fiddling with random buttons until the door opened.

"Control Room entrance thing door opened."

"Thank God. I really need to find a mirror. That last bathroom had the mirror all smashed to bits." Linda walked throw the hallway into a random door, "I wonder where I'd find one…" She asked the air, not paying much attention to her surroundings.

"And just who the hell are you and where do you buy your eyeliner?" A voice asked.

She turned to see a woman with sparkling aqua blue hair; a nicely shaped figure covered in a white, gold, red and blue dress, and a dark flowy cape. She was also holding a coffee cup and seemed to have forgotten to put on her makeup that morning.

"Give me your hair stylists name and I'll give you the name of a good makeup artist." Linda said with more confidence than she actually had.

"Well actually Kry- What? How dare you insult me! You little pea pod!" the women snarled, grabbing Linda's arm.

"Ah! Don't hurt me! I'm an orphan!" Linda screamed.

"What? You're Linda?" She let go, taking a step back, "Yes I see the resemblance to the person I can't tell you about at the moment because it's a major part of the plotline."

"What?" Linda turned to the camera and frowned.

Yuna, who no one knows is Yuna yet, slapped Linda, "Didn't your acting coach tell you not to look at the camera?"

Linda blushed, "Sorry."

Yuna threw up her hands, "Who cares? I'm not doing that scene again. Lets just move on with the script. Where the hell is Betty?"

Betty ran in, "The Chosen's group is coming this way. And I checked at Wal-Mart, they don't have any Cherry Berry Swirl left."

Linda pulled out a tube, "I have an extra."

Yuna grabbed it, "Oh thank God!" She hugged Linda, "Now if you'll excuse me, I have to leave because one of your companions knows me and I don't want her to see me without my cover-up."

She left through the back door, which for anyone wondering is a dead end.

Krystal, Gina, Ron and Cole burst in the door.

"Oh look it's Linda!" Cole said, "What's she doing here?"

Ron slapped him, "We came here to save her dimwit."

Krystal looked around, "Say Linda. You haven't seen a lady with blue-"

Betty cut her off, "Can we fight now? I've been here for three minutes and have had no lines."

"Ok," Everyone said, preparing for battle.

Betty walked to the cd player and pressed play. Soon the rocking beats of Black Betty rocked the room.

Linda broke into air guitar, "Wow, Black Betty, wah ma na." And was slapped by Krystal.

"We have to fight!"

"Oh yeah."

Five seconds later Krystal, with barely any help from the others, had kicked Betty's ass.

"I under estimated your power. Plus that egg salad sandwich I had for lunch isn't settling well in my tummy." She dropped her weapon and ran to the nearest bathroom.

Linda blinked, "Well. That was weird."

Ron, on the other hand, had grabbed Betty's sword/club thing, "Hey, there's some sort of chap stick in here."

"Who really cares? I came here to see Yu- I mean, to rescue Linda. Can we leave now?" Krystal demanded, hands on her hips.

So they all left the Renega- I mean, Desian base and went back to Triet. Linda happy to be free, Cole still confused about where Linda and Gina had came from, Ron drooling over the chap stick, Gina sleepy, and Krystal moping like she'd just missed the chance to see her lover.
