CHAPTER 36

"Ben! Ben!" Addy calls as she walks through with the guys following Dude.

"These things just grow everywhere," Gil says before eating some berries off a bush. "Hey, we should play that icebreaker. Um, Jay, I like the way that you can bounce around and jump off things. These are free, right?" Addy smiles at Jay and nods for him to join Gil.

"Yeah. Um..." Jay answers as he walks over to the bush. "I like how you get a kick out of a berry bush."

"I guess you've probably seen everything by now, huh? Furry rocks. Giant fish. You're probably used to grabbing lunch off of a bush," Gil says as Addy and Jay start eating some berries.

"No. I mean, not really. Addy and I mainly just use the vending machines at practice. You know, tourney, kind of eats up most of my time and cheerleading hers. So..." Jay explains before Harry starts laughing.

"Tourney, that's a wee boy's game," Harry says.

"Hey, you know what would be fun? To go rafting on a jungle river," Gil says causing Jay to smile.

"Find a lost civilization," Jay adds causing Addy to smile. She would love for her and Jay to be able to go on adventures.

"Oh, or maybe a penguin," Gil also adds.

"Oh, well, you'd find those more in like icebergs, but I'd love to see one of those," Addy explains causing Jay to smile at her. He falls for her more everyday.

"You guys are killing me," Harry says as he walks over to them. Harry hooks a berry off of the bush before eating it. "Hmm. P.S., your mutt went that way."

"Carlos!" Dude calls.

"Dude, what do you see?" Carlos asks.

"This way!" Dude answers before they start to catch up to Dude but not before Jay went back to get more berries off of the bush causing Addy to giggle.

"Ben!" Carlos calls as they follow Dude.

"Boy, something stinks. And it wasn't me this time," Dude says as he turns back to them. A beast then jumps out of the bushes.

"Watch out!" Carlos says as he pulls Gil out of the way. Jay then pulls Addy and then Harry out of the way.

"You need some serious nose adjustments," Harry tells Dude.

"I'm not so sure," Addy argues as the beast lets out a growl. "Ben?"

"Did Audrey do that? Huh! I thought I recognized those pants," Jay says in agreement.

"Oh, he's got a boo-boo. That's why he's so cranky. You know, my dad said that his dad did not handle pain well at all," Gil explains causing Beast Ben to growl at him.

"You're good with animals. Do something," Jay tells Carlos.

"But... Okay. All right," Carlos says before walking over to Ben. "Hey, Ben. It's me, Carlos, all right?" Ben growls before swiping at Carlos. "Ben! Ben! It's Carlos, all right? You know me. You helped me once. Remember, with Dude? Right? Let me help you. Come on. Let me see your hand. All right. Attaboy. Beast... King... So... Whatever." Ben holds his paw out to Carlos. "Oh, yeah. That's a big one. Uh... I'm gonna count, all right? One... Two. There it is. You did it." Jane comes out of no where and starts spraying Ben with water.

"Hey. Oh, my gosh, I was so worried. You didn't show up. I didn't forget your party. I got scared she got you too. I know I forgot to call. I'm so glad you're all right," Carlos and Jane say quickly and at the same time, before they hug causing Addy to giggle.

"All right. You good?" Jay asks as he helps Ben.

"Yeah," Ben answers.

"Take a seat right there, okay? There you go," Jay tells Ben as he helps him sit.

"Oh, that was funky," Ben says with a chuckle.

"It was? Is..." Addy corrects as she motions for a beard and fangs.

"Huh? Oh, wow," Ben says as he feels his beard and fangs.

"You need another blast," Jane says before spraying Ben again.

"Please... Please stop," Ben says as nothing happens besides him getting wet causing Addy to giggle once again.

"Huh. It's Enchanted Lake water. I guess it can only do so much," Jane says as she stops.

"Well, well, well," Harry says as he walks towards Jane. "Harry Hook. And you, my little duckling are...ravishing."

"Okay. Ravishing and taken just in case anyone was confused," Carlos says as he wraps an arm around Jane.

"Hold on. Who's side are they on?" Ben asks as he stands up pointing at Gil and Harry.

"They escaped and joined us," Jay answers him. "And Mal has the ember, which is our only hope to stop Audrey. Details to follow."

"Hades' ember? Has Mal gone back to the Isle?" Ben questions as he worries about Mal.

"He said details to follow. We're meeting up with Mal, Evie and Uma. Let's go," Addy explains to him.

"Uma?" Ben asks.

"Details to follow," Everyone says before Jay pushes Ben in the direction that they need to go.

"Hey, Jay..." Harry says stopping Jay since they are at the back of the group. "yeah, thanks for saving me, gorgeous face." Harry walks ahead before Addy hugs Jay excitedly and kissing him on the cheek.
