After they all figured out a plan, the two villain boys were about to head out the door when Carlos stopped.
He turned around and looked at the rest of the group.
"What about Ella?" Carlos asked, pointing to his friend.
"What about me?" Eleanor asked in confusion.
"We're meeting her on a ship; that could be an issue for you." Carlos explained.
Dorian looked confused by this new information but decided to stay quiet.
"He's right." Jay said, crossing his arms.
"Well I'm not staying here!" Eleanor said, throwing her arms up.
"Isn't there some sort of spell you could use?" Evie asked, throwing out an idea.
Eleanor looked annoyed she didn't think of that first. Mal stared at Eleanor skeptically.
"Do you even know how to do that?" Mal asked, sounding unsure.
"Yeah, and if you can, why have you never done it before?" Carlos added, a bit dumbfounded.
"Well, I don't know how. And it wouldn't be a permanent affect, Carlos." Eleanor said, making Carlos rub the back of his neck.
"So we're back to square one." Dorian said, putting a hand to his chin in thought.
The VK's trained their eyes on Dorian with knowing expressions.
Eleanor walked to Dorian with a small smirk, putting her hand on his shoulders.
"I don't know how, but I think I know someone who does."
*later...
After going to Dizzy for smoke bombs, Evie, Eleanor, Mal, and Dorian headed to the broom shop.
"Remind me again how I indeed up in this situation?" Dorian asked, making Evie and Mal sigh.
"Because, if you went with Jay and Carlos there's a chance you wouldn't come back. And we couldn't leave you alone at the hideout." Eleanor explained for what felt like the hundredth time.
"Why couldn't Evie or Mal stay there with me?" Dorian asked, dread filling his voice.
Evie grabbed Dorian's shoulders from behind and leaned over to look at him.
"We wanted to visit them too." She said cheerfully, walking past him and Eleanor as they had almost reached the shop.
Mal nodded in agreement as she walked quickly to join Evie.
As Eleanor reached for the doorhnob Dorian grabbed her arm and gave her one last pleading look.
Eleanor rolled her eyes and swept off his hand.
"You'll be fine." She said, opening the door and gesturing for him to go in first.
Dorian reluctantly walked in and speed-walked to Mal and Evie.
Eleanor took a good look around and walked to the bookcase. She once again pulled the scull, making the secret door open.
She moved to the side and gestured for the other three to walk in. Evie excitedly walked through with a squeal, Mal close behind.
After they went past, Eleanor noticed Dorian examining a strange bottle on the counter.
The green-girl grabbed him by the arm and dragged him through the doorway. The bookcase promptly closed behind them.
Eleanor looked around to see Evie excitedly hug Fiyero. Mal was happily standing close by, talking with the scarecrow.
When the five VK's were younger they would often have sleepovers at the broom shop Eleanor called home.
Fiyero and Elphaba would always offer them hot chocolate or snacks, which everyone but Eleanor found strange.
Eleanor smiled as she noticed a curtain Goat in the room.
"Dr. Dillamond!" Eleanor said happily from across the room.
She jogged towards the four as Dorian stayed close behind.
(You may be wondering why Dr. Dillamond is on the Isle, and the answer is actually really simple; Animals talking is illegal. And his relationship with Elphaba didn't help his case.)
"Hello, Eleanor!" Dr. Dillamond said happily.
He gave her a quick hug, his hooves brushing against her back.
Eleanor than turned to Fiyero. The "man" quickly hugged his daughter.
Fiyero saw Dorian over Eleanor's shoulder. He pulled back and gave Dorian a glare, noticing his familiar appearance.
"Who's this?" He asked, looking at the boy.
Dr. Dillamond stayed quiet, examining him.
Mal looked at the two of them before leaning over Eleanor's shoulder.
"Did you tell them about him?" Mal whispered, pretty sure she knew the answer.
"That's not important." Eleanor said quickly, ignoring Mal's question, yet answering it at the same time.
Dorian walked closer to Eleanor, never escaping Fiyero's glare, or Dr. Dillamond's assessment. Mal grabbed him and pulled him next to her.
"Ella," Fiyero said, giving his daughter a slightly annoyed glance.
The three girls awkwardly laughed.
"Did you do something different with your hair?" Evie said, trying to change the subject.
Mal nodded, looking at him closely. Fiyero rolled his eyes.
"Okay, Ella," Fiyero said, making eye contact with his brightly colored daughter, "you know I'm not one for rules, but I will ground you."
"Oh, that's not necessary!" Mal said, while the three began to ramble as Dorian stood close by.
"What is going on?" Elphaba asked, standing in the doorway.
The three girls went silent.
Dr. Dillamond looked at Elphaba, than to the three girls, and once to Dorian.
"I'll see myself out." He said, quickly trotting out of the room.
Dorian quickly ducked behind Eleanor as Elphaba raised an eyebrow at him.
"Hi, Miss Elphaba." Mal and Evie said in unison.
"Hello," Elphaba said in a polite but slightly confused tone, walking to stand near Fiyero.
The three VK girls watched her assess the situation. She gave Dorian an annoyed glare. Fiyero looked at her as if to say "you're better at this than me".
The tall witch turned to her daughter, as if reading his mind.
"Eleanor Rose Thropp, tell us what's going on or your loosing your spell book privileges for a year." Elphaba said sternly.
"Your middle name is 'Rose'?" Dorian asked, a confused look on his face.
Elphaba only glared at him as Eleanor wiped her head around towards him, "It's a long story," she said, than turned back to her parents, "A year!"
Elphaba crossed her arms, her green fingers tapping her arm.
Eleanor looked to her father, who had a snarky-almost childish-look on his face. She looked to Evie and Mal before looking back at her parents.
"Fine! This is Dorian." Eleanor said, pulling the boy with all her strength to stand in between her and Mal.
Dorian made eye contact with Elphaba, who had an angry expression on her face that seemed to say, "how dare you hurt my daughters feelings, you little brat".
But most likely with more swearing.
"I knew it!" Fiyero said triumphantly, slightly jumping in the air.
Elphaba gave the scarecrow a death glare.
"Okay, so, we actually were wondering if you could help us with something?" Evie said quickly.
Eleanor gave her mom a pleading look. Elphaba staid silent for a moment before mumbling something and letting out an annoyed grown.
She walked closer to Evie, making Dorian move to the other side of Eleanor.
"Alright, what have you all gotten yourselves into?"
