All:We got all the ways to be

Percy, Cassandra, Shawna, and Cassandra's sister, Ginny, all smirked.  Skipping school on the Isle was a typical activity for them.  Even Varian did, considering he already knew twice as much as the school had to offer.

W-i-c-k-e-d
We got all the ways to be
W-i-c-k-e-d
C'mon hey hey hey hey hey
Hey hey hey hey (haha)
Hey hey hey hey hey

They jumped onto a table where a girl was doing the laundry.  Apparently she wasn't in school either.

G:Crashin' the party, guess they lost my invention
Friendly reminder got my own kinda persuasion
P:Looks like this place could use a bit of misbehavior
Happily ever after with a little flavor
S:Bad to the bone, with even worse intentions
We're gonna steal the show, and leave 'em all defenseless
C:A fairy tale life can be oh-so overrated
So raise your voices and let's get it activated

All:Long live havin' some fun
We take what we want
There's so many ways to be wicked
With us evil lives on the right side of wrong
There's so many ways to be wicked

Apple, apple dip, dip
Wanna try it?
Tick, tick
Take a bite, c'mon, be bold
Change the way the story's told

C:This time the dark is finally getting your attention
P:We're wicked by the book, and class is back in session
S:You like it, steel it
Gotta beat 'em to the treasure
G:A right of passage- bad just doesn't get much better

All:Long live havin' some fun
We take what we want
There's so many ways to be wicked
With us evil lives on the right side of wrong
There's so many ways to be wicked

C:Mother always knows best
G:Show her, skip every test
P:Hear her voice in my head
S:Evil is the only

All:Real way to live

We got all the ways to be
Hey hey hey hey
W-i-c-k-e-d
Let's go
We got all the ways to be
Hey hey hey hey
W-i-c-k-e-d
(Ye-ah)

Long live havin' some fun
(havin' some fun)
We take what we want
There's so many ways to be wicked
With us evil lives on
(evil lives on)
All:The right side of wrong
There's so many ways to be wicked

Cruel and unusual
We're taking control
There's so many ways to be wicked
With us evil lives on the right side of wrong
There's so many ways to be wicked

Hey, hey, hey
We got all the ways to be
W-i-c-k-e-d
We got all the ways to be
W-i-c-k-e-d
We got all the ways to be
W-i-c-k-e-d
We got all the ways to be
So many ways to be wicked

"Just wait Aurodon!  You've taken the last of us!" Cassandra shouted.

"Mal! Mal!"

Mal flinched, blinking as she was blinded by the flashes of the cameras.  She heard a constant flow of questions, too much to keep up with.  Luckily, Ben saw this and came to her aid.  "Ok, ok, that's enough for to day.  Break it up."  He put an arm around her shoulder and started to lead her away.

"If that's what Royalty looks like, count me out."

The couple looked up to Varian sitting on the shoulder of the beast statue.  "You're gonna fall from there," Mal said.

"Mal, I'm surprised.  Back on the Isle had to sit on smaller places just ride out the braws to keep from dying.  Oh, wait," he grabbed the statue and swung down.  "You started the fights."

"Ha ha.  It's not like you were even present," Mal rolled her eyes at his sarcasm.

"No, but I got it from very reliable sources," Varian shrugged, now just sitting on the stone block the statue was sitting on.  He was still looking down at the couple.

"Yeah?  I thought the Isle was full of liers," she shot back, but not unkindly.

"If we were talking about you," Varian snorted.  "But how about you guess, fire lizard.  Here's a few hints.  She likes water, you absolutely hate her, and her name starts with Uma."

"First, I'm not a lizard that breathes fire-"

"Oh, well your mother is, so, theoretically, you're half fire breathing lizard."

"I'm not my mother.  Second, that's her whole name, genius."

"I thought you'd need a bigger hint," Varian smirked.

"Wow, smack talk was a big thing on the Isle?" Ben mumbled, but his comment was ignored.

"But now I know what's wrong with you," Mal mocked a facepalm.

"What?  I spend time with the fishes, you spend your time with your head in the clouds."

"Don't you have to be somewhere?"  Mal let out a frustrated groan.

"Actually, Evie wants to show me her new outfit she made me.  So yippee..."

"Varian, you've been here for three weeks now.  How you doing?"  Ben cleared his throat.

"Grade wise? Decent.  Clear A in everything, except history.  I don't know why I'm being forced to take that "goodness and stupidity" class that's totally lame and obviously created for and by loosers."

"Yeah, not Aurodon's best work," Ben admitted.  "But it wasn't me.  I had to compromise with my dad with something."

"I take your word for it," Varian shrugged.

Note: sorry this took longer to get out.  It was a busy day.  I'll edit again later.  Thanks for reading!
