Craig Before the Creek / int_161fa3b8	type	Hidden Agenda Villain
Craig Before the Creek / int_161fa3b8	comment	Hidden Agenda Villain: During the movie, it is unclear why Serena and her crew are causing chaos at the creek, other than to obtain a map leading to the wish maker that would grant her powers to flood the creek. At first, it seems like it's just because but later it is revealed that Serena wants to sail back to her hometown, which is why she needs the wish maker for that to happen. As for why she and her crewmates were bullying and stealing, it could be because Serena was too upset about being in Herkleton instead of her hometown and took out her frustration on innocent kids at the creek. Perhaps she recruited other kids to be pirates for her schemes because she couldn't do it alone.

Craig Before the Creek / int_35f57671	comment	Minion with an F in Evil: J.P. is introduced as the Torture Technician of the pirates, about to torture Craig and Kelsey. However, due to his Nice Guy personality, his torture methods aren't that threatening (save for the hot sauce in the eyes). In fact, Craig making an angry face spooks him and gets him to accidentally torture himself. Turns out he got the nickname "J.P. the Torturer" because the other pirates considered him as The Millstone.

This also applies to her crewmates as they help increase Kit's inventory by donating.

But then the camera pans over to Serena's ship that's crashed into a sharp rock. Unfortunately, because of Serena's wish to stop her flood she made, it punctured the ship causing it to deflate.

This might have been because the movie was produced late in the seriesâ€™ run (They have apparently stayed with themselves since the events of the movie).
