Would I be jinxing things if I said things were looking up lately? It's been ... awhile.

Harriet
How are you holding up?

Liam
You realize you can't kill me with that death glare, right?

That was entirely unpleasant. Apologies for my absence.

[Elsa]
Holding up okay?

[rotten four + ben]
Any of you lot seen Hadie today?

[Kol + Kai]
Neither of you tangled with me girl's cousin, did ye? Hadie was supposed to meet up with my sister and never showed. And before either of you say something crude, the demi-god actually has manners.

[da]
Is it possible to track a demi-god?

No offense but I would take ten classes at Auradon in exchange for not having to take Calculus.

And I think I might need some help with US History given that...it's not my history.

Liam
Are you any good at math? At school in general?

Ben
Maybe I'm not really cut out for this high school thing.

Okay, challenging a demigod to a drinking contest, not my best plan ever, still not sure how I even got back to my own bed.

Hadie, well done. I'm still better with knives than you are though.

Also where in the name of Evil did this giant banana come from?

[Filtered to Ben]

Never said, but thanks. For the other night.

Tell anyone what we talked about and I'll stab you.

You're maybe not so bad really.

...the Evil is going on? And that pillow catching fire was an utter accident.

Pain? Panic? Dad? What the fuck would Angels want with me? You've got the wrong Underworld kid.

[Filtered to people from the Isle and from Auradon]

Okay, so I have been doing a LOT of thinking. And I know that there's a lot of stuff going on that I don't know about yet and this place is very different, and I get that. And I also know that no matter how much I might want you all to be, you're not all going to be friends with each other because there's been a lot of mistakes and hurt feelings and bad stuff between everyone. I KNOW all of that.

But I also know that you all mean a lot to me in different ways. And as I said to Mal, I am not the last tube of mascara between my mother and my aunt. If it means that much to people, I will live in a different place entirely and visit everyone. Or spend a different night each week with different people. Because my choice is that I am not going to choose. Mal, the crew protected me when they had nothing to gain from doing so. And Harry, Uma? Mal, Evie, Carlos and Jay inspired me to be braver and keep on dreaming.

And here's the last thing I know. Harry said there were monsters here but I shouldn't be scared because you'd all be here to protect me. And I'm not scared because I know that's true and because I'm a child of the Isle and we don't get scared. But I am also starting to see that this place has a lot to be afraid of. Something was dangerous enough to nearly kill Harriet and I didn't even think she could bleed. So I say that sticking together even if we're not all friends with each other is the best thing we can do.

Oh! And one more last last thing I know! Gummy bears are delicious! And so are peanut butter cups!

Hey, can we talk?

I'm so glad that whatever that was is all over now.

Mal, Evie, Carlos and Ben

I have a problem. My girlfriend recently became a vampire. I want to go after her but her friends are advising me against it. They say she's dangerous. I don't know if she's so dangerous she'll come after me and try to hurt me, but I need you guys to be on the lookout. She might try to come after you to get to me.

That was probably my least favorite challenge to date.

[Kai]
Are you souled or are you still all soulless, love?

[Gil]
Are you okay? I mean-
I know it wasn't me, mate, but you know. I did thaw the ship...
I'm sorry. Forgive me.

[Uma]
How do I fix this? I can't lose you, Captain. I fixed the Lost Revenge, she's back to sailing status, Uma.

I didn't-
You know I'd never actually go after our ship.

[Mal]

Any luck finding Evie's demon?

[Lost Revenge Crew]

...How are you guys?

I made the mistake of going near Evie in the state she's in. Don't make my mistake.

Added Later:

And if you do make my mistake, don't approach her alone.

Bloody Hell.

[Gil]
Get your gorgeous face to Uma's. Help Dizzy pack, I don't want either of you near Harriet at the moment.

[Dizzy]
Pack your things, runt. You're sleeping over tonight.

[Archie]
Please tell me you haven't turned into a sodding prick, yeah?

[Mal, Ben, Jay]
You three still annoying as ever or have you finally decided to go evil?

added later:
[Evie]
Pack your things.

No offense, but kidnapping me really is not the way to get me to do anything for you.

Plus, there are only two people who can really order me to do anything: The Emperor and King Ben.

Need to talk. You and I.

You know, when I agreed to do this whole working as a personal trainer thing, I figured maybe I'd get to at least train people to fight. Not listen to overly privileged people whine that they ate too much over Christmas.

I'd get fired if I stabbed them, wouldn't I.

We need to make some time and get together to talk again.

In person.

I guess maybe now when I tag a bunch of buildings my work can actually be appreciated. Although getting paid to do some murals isn't actually all that bad.

Dude likes being a ship way too much. I think he and Tick Tock are plotting things and I don't like it.

Merry Christmas to everyone.

[Rotten Four + Ben]
Merry Christmas! I have about two weeks off from school so that's plenty of time for all of us to do something again.

[Uma + Harriet]
Uh, so, when Mal was in her coma thing...I went to Killian and Emma for help. Harry agreed that Mal would pay the price, but now she is all new here and stuff. I can't let her pay the price for something she had nothing to do with.

I haven't told her or Ben. I know you guys aren't big fans of them, but this is a mess I made. I can't let her take the fall, no matter what Harry says.

Merry Christmas indeed.

We ride with the tide!
