Staying in Room 5B on the fateful night was a large family of 5 traveling on summer break. They had saved up for months to afford to travel to the island, and were quite excited to finally be there. The family consisted of father John Smith, a 50-something electrician, Maree Smith, another 50-something who taught French at the local high school, and their three kids, Ellie, 19, who was using the trip to celebrate her recent graduation, Jared, 14, and Amie, 9. The three kids especially fought quite a lot, but Ellie tended to stay out of what she saw as her siblings’ petty squabbles.
“Ahh,” Jared sighed, falling onto the bed as soon as they opened the door.
“Wow! An ocean view!” Amie exclaimed, running for the window.
“Yeahh, an ocean view… on an island… surprise, surprise…” Ellie sighed, slightly bemused by her little sister’s reaction to the big blue yonder out their window.
“Now, kids, I’m going to unpack and then we can explore the area!” Maree called out, beginning to set out the family’s towels while John looked around, admiring the room and the Tiki furnishings.
They settled in, went to the resort’s sole restaurant and saw some of the other guests, ate, and returned to their room. Little did they know, their room would not be where they would wake up…
Instead they woke up in Dr. Patella's secret lab, each on their own separate bed. Ellie was the first to get up, realizing she was tied down to the bed. The others soon followed suit, Jared struggling particularly against his restrains.
"Now, young man, I'd hate to have to tighten those..." a voice rang out behind them, causing them all to jump.
"Wh-who's there?" John cried out, obviously upset by the current predicament.
"Why, it's just me, Lewis! Dr. Lewis Patella." the voice rang out again, it's owner stepping between Ellie's and Amie's beds, walking forward to face them all. "And welcome to my laboratory! Now, who shall I change first...?"
