Hey party people! Ixi here!
This is actually a birthday present to my best friend, who lives faaaaar so I thought I'd put it online for all to see! Please enjoy, don't flame me! I'm outta practice!
Without further ado, read on and enjoy!

The woods were almost silent.
The only sounds were the slight rustling of the leaves and the gentle footsteps of the two girls slowly making their way through the forest.
Tammy ran her fingers along the delicate bushes as her friend chattered next to her, they hadn't seen each other in two weeks and had a lot to catch up on.
Rain animated her story quick and fast with her gloved hands, gesturing wildly, this was a big story and Tammy needed to be caught up!
'So I ran over and picked him up before he could start but the woman noticed and started yelling at me to 'control'',
(here she did a hand gesture that implied she didn't think she needed to 'control' anything)
'my dog! The cheek, I should have let him piss on her there and then!'
Tammy giggled, bringing her hand up to her mouth, her laughter rang through the forest adding to the quiet sounds emerging from within.
'Oh my gosh, I wish I could have been there Rain! You know I'd have told you to put him straight back down!'
'I should have done!' Rain smacked her black gloved hand to her head in mock annoyance, 'I knew I should have done!'
'I bet he would have ruined her pretty pink dress too!' Tammy laughed again, more of a cackle this time. This was why their friendship worked you see, Tammy may have been good and pure while Rain was dark and crazy but each had a streak of the other which made them love each other more than life itself.
'I wish you had been there T, man, I would have been brave enough to just let him do his business where he wanted that way.' Rain smiled, her face lighting up despite the dark make-up she wore.
Tammy smiled back at her.
'I wish I'd have been there too R.' Tammy said quietly.
She stopped realising that Rain was stood still under a tall tree. Tammy back stepped to her, wondering why she had stopped. She was beginning to feel cold, she pulled at her short orange dress as if it would help cover her legs and sped up her walk to her friend. Her pumps pummelled the ground, another sound added to the forest.
'Shhhh...'
'Ray-ray? What's wr-'
'Shhhhh...'
Tammy quietened. Rain looked at her as she stopped, she took her delicate hand in her fingerless gloved one. With the other hand she motioned to Tammy to listen.
They looked out of place, stood there.
Rain in her black leggings and combat boots, her short ginger hair blowing wildly in the wind, she listened silently, ignoring the jingling of the chains from her leather waistcoat, glad for the long sleeves of her black and white striped jersey as the wind picked up around them. Tammy looked at Rain and pulled at her dress again, the wind had a chill that swept in and around the two girls, while Rain was dressed for this weather Tammy was not. Her little orange mini-dress did nothing to keep the cold off her body and her long brown hair blew off her shoulders in the wind causing her to shiver.
They listened.
A new sound had appeared in the forest, without their chatting and their footsteps covering it, it had become noticeable.

A strange whooshing sound rang through the trees. It was louder than the rustling of the leaves, out of place in a forest, the girls had never heard anything like it.
It was a strange, otherworldly sound. But Tammy and Rain were together, together they were strange and otherworldly. They looked at each other and grinned.
'Hear that T?'
'It sounds like it's coming from the left of us...'
Rain turned, her boots moving the dirt underfoot, her hand letting go of her friends.
'Then left we shall go!' She shouted.
Rain moved past the tree she had been stood under and ran towards the sound. Tammy smiled and jogged after her.

The sound was getting louder, starting to drown out the sound of their footsteps. Rain laughed as she ran through the bushes and thorns, her skin safe from scratches thanks to her long sleeves. Tammy laughed with her, she dodged the thorns as best she could but some caught her legs, she didn't feel the nicks, having too much fun following her friend.
The girls stopped.
'Well, would you look at that?' Rain whistled looking out in front of her, past the tree trunks and into the clearing. She heard Tammy gasp next to her in awe.
In the clearing something was glowing.
A curious blue swirl, spiralling into itself, never stopping, emitting the whoosh they had heard.
Tammy stared, then looked at her friend, she moved her own brown hair from her face.
'What is that?'
'I-I'm not sure...' Rain stuttered, Rain never stuttered.
Tammy looked at her face, she looked...worried.
Tammy stepped forward, in front of the other girl. She faced her.
'Let's go find out!'
Rain looked up at her friend, her expression turned into a smirk.
'Yeah, of course!' She laughed, 'You didn't think I'd get this far to back out?'
Tammy smiled, 'Of course not...'

Tammy led the way, Rain stepped carefully behind her. They got closer to the strange blue oval. It appeared to lead nowhere. The forest was in front of it, and behind it. The whooshing sound was almost deafening. Rain could see her friend saying something to her but couldn't hear what. She tapped her ears and moved her hands, showing Tammy she couldn't hear her. Tammy continued to shout whilst stepping backwards, she was getting very close to the blue hole. Rain realised this was where the wind had come from, but it wasn't blowing her away, it was pulling them in.
'Tammy! Tam come away!'
Tammy, looked at her, her brown hair was blowing all over her face, getting caught in her mouth as she shouted back. She stopped in front of the opening. Rain ran towards her, her boots pounded the ground, her ginger hair wildly thrashing in the wind. Tammy turned to look behind her, her skirt was getting pulled towards the blue, her hair no longer over her face was getting sucked into the hole.
Rain ran, screaming for her friend.
Tammy turned back.
'Rain!'
Rain ran, Tammy stumbled, as the pull became stronger.
She fell.
Rain grabbed at her, her fingers brushed Tammy's wrist. Rain fell into the blue just as Tammy disappeared into it herself. The whoosh was the only noise the girls could hear, the blue the only thing they could see. Rain felt Tammy's hand and grabbed onto it, she felt her friend squeeze just before they were ripped apart.

Something poked her ribs. It was uncomfortable, not sharp but not necessarily blunt either. It poked her again. She batted at it.
Rain opened her eyes with a start. She jolted upwards, the poker, moved back just dodging being headbutted.
'Tammy!'
Rain's eyes darted around her. She was on wood, the sea on either side of her, a pier. Why was she on a pier? She looked at the man in front of her. He had blonde-brown hair that came to his shoulders, he was wearing a sand coloured waistcoat with matching trousers that were ripped. He was holding a sword. Rain stood. The man looked confused.
'Gil...'
Rain looked at him, her face confused. The man's face matched her expression.
'Gil.' He tried again.
Rain looked at him, she looked around her, she seemed to be at some kind of dock, a loading dock. The ships were huge, flying pirate flags. Where the hell was she?
'Where am I? Who are you?' Rain stared at the man in front of her.
'Gil! I told you! Okay, let me give you a clue, he's tall, he's slick and his neck's incredibly thick...huh?'
Rain stared, who the hell was this guy?
'Oookay thick neck. You better start telling me what the hell is going on or I'll-'
She stepped towards him, her boots making the wooden pier rattle, Gil stepped back getting closer to the edge of the pier.
'Stop.' A girl's voice.
Rain turned. A girl stood behind her, long blue dreadlocks to her waist, a pirate hat on her head. She wore a sea-blue dress, ripped, homemade.
'You have a problem I suggest you take it up with me.'
The girl stared Rain down, looking her up and down, Gil ran past her and behind the newcomer.
'Look,' Rain began. 'I just want to know where I am, where my friend is and what the hell is going on.'
The girl moved her blue hair from her face. She wore a smirk on her face, she held a sword in her hand, dragged it across the floor as she moved.
'You, are on my pier fishbait.' She walked around Rain. 'You don't have friends here.'
Rain stood tall.
'Who are you?'
The girl stopped in front of her, stared into Rain.
'Uma, daughter of Ursula and owner of this dock. Who are you?' The girl, Uma, held her sword up and pointed it towards Rain.
'Rain.'
Uma looked at Rain.
'Well...Rain.'
Uma dropped her sword to the ground and attached it to her waistband. She looked Rain up and down again, stopping at her shirt, transfixed by the small skull embroidered over her chest.
'You look like you'll fit in. You know how to sail?'

'Oh gosh is she okay?'
'I don't know, she fell out of the sky, E!'
'Do you think it's magic?'
'Magic? Of course not! People fall from the sky all the time!'
'Don't patronise me, M! I'm not some stupid-'
The bickering continued as Tammy opened her eyes. She saw the sky, blue, not a cloud in it. She sat up, she was sat between two girls. One dressed all in lilac, the other in dark blue. They had stopped arguing as soon as they realised she had risen. Tammy's eyes took a moment to adjust to the brightness, it took her a moment to realise there were no trees above her. She stood. Unsure of her surroundings, she turned, slowly, in a circle. The two girls had stood with her.
'Hey, are you o-'
'Rain?' Tammy turned, but the girl in dark blue had black hair. She wasn't Rain. She turned to look at the other girl, she was skinny, the same style as Rain but dressed in lilac, not black.
'Where is Rain?'
The two girls looked at each other confused.
'Where am I? Who are you?'
'You're in Auradon silly!' the girl in dark blue laughed.
Tammy looked behind her. Where was Auradon? Was that a castle?
The girl dressed in lilac came over to her.
'Hey, you...er...you okay?'
Tammy looked at her, the girls blonde hair cascaded down past her shoulders ending in light purple tips at her waist. She was wearing a lilac dress with a purple bomber over her shoulders, she looked... uncomfortable.
'I...I'm not sure.' Tammy stuttered. 'Who are you?'
The lilac girl held her hand out.
'Mal. I'm Mal. This is Evie.' She pointed to the other girl dressed in a dark blue ensemble with a red heart sewn over the breast. She came over and put an arm around Tammy.
'You look like you need a lie down.' She began to lead Tammy towards the castle. Tammy stumbled, as if she hadn't used her legs in a long time, she realised her back hurt. She let Evie hold her up, Mal walked at the other side of her, watching her curiously.
'What did you say your name was?' Evie questioned her.
'Tammy, I'm Tammy.'
'Well Tammy,' Evie announced with a flourish. 'Welcome to Auradon Prep!'

Rain had no idea how to sail. She had only been on one boat in her life and that was driven by one of her cousins in the States out into the lake, not the ocean. She wasn't about to tell Uma that though, she seemed serious.
'Sure, I can sail, how else do you think I entertain myself here?'
'Good. Then you can join my crew, opportunity of a lifetime, opportunity to sail further than you ever have before Rain.' Uma put her arm around Rain's neck, turned her to the water and pointed across the water to a green, pretty place with...were they castles?
'The opportunity to ride straight to Auradon and tear it apart!' She laughed, letting go of Rain and began sauntering back up the pier. Gil watched, followed her. Rain stared across the ocean. They were definitely castles. Where in the hell was she? Rain shrugged to herself, maybe Tammy had joined this pirate crew, hell, wherever she was she better try to fit in.

Rain followed Uma back to a ship. A huge ship. Uma sauntered up the galley barking orders at Gil, Rain followed watching her. Uma strolled around batting at people with her sword, the men and girls growled back at her but heeded her words, doing as they were told.
Uma was heading for the helm. Rain figured she'd follow her, where else could she go? As Rain climbed the steps behind Uma she heard talking.
'Uma, glad to see you didn't fall from the pier like last time you stormed off.'
A man's voice. Not Gil's they had left him back on deck. This voice had a slight accent, Scottish, Rain thought. It was smooth, the words sounded sarcastic. Rain stood at the top of the last step, watching Uma speak to the man. He wore black jeans cut off at the knee and a red leather jacket that showed his tanned, muscular arms. The tail of his jacket draped down his back over his behind and stopped just above his knees. Rain strained to hear the words of the conversation. The man turned with Uma to look at her. Rain gasped.
His black hair fell into his face over his forehead, he pushed it back with a black fingerless gloved hand. In his other hand he held a tarnished silver hook, his grey eyes were lined heavily with kohl black, on his tanned face he wore a smirk, as if he was in on a joke no-one else knew.
Rain stared, transfixed. He was drop-dead.
'This girl?' The man motioned towards Rain with his hook.
'Yeah, she says she can sail.' Uma answered a question Rain had missed.
Rain tried to speak but the words caught in her throat as the man began sauntering towards her. He walked like he hadn't a care in the world, as if he owned the world in fact. He stopped in front of her, she could smell his scent, a mixture of seawater and sweat. As if she had just caught him after he had swam a mile in the sea.
He looked her up and down with those piercing eyes, moving slowly over her top, seeming to concentrate particularly on the skull over her chest as Uma had. He held up his hook and twisted it left and right, thinking.
'Name?'
'R-Rain...' Rain caught herself, she needed to man up, 'And you are?'
'Harry Hook. First mate of this ship.'
Rain smirked at him. He stared into her, through her.
'Problem, Rain?'
'First mate? Sounds so juvenile.'
Harry Hook, twisted his hook again then shot his arm out onto Rain's neck and picked her up by it.
'I suggest you show some respect fishbait otherwise you'll be going straight off the end of the plank!' He pulled her towards him.
'And you don't want to know what happened to the last guy the sharks got a hold of.' He whispered in her ear, then dropped her. Rain crumpled to the floor coughing and held her neck. Gorgeous but deadly this guy...
'You know how to sail, Rain?'
Rain stared at him from the floor.
'Sure.' I mean, how hard could it be right?
'All-right. Reef the sails!' Harry shouted at her.
Rain stood, she had no idea what 'reef the sails' meant. Uma and Harry were stood, watching her. Waiting.
'Okay, reef the sails, I will do that. Reef. The. Sails.' Rain turned and stepped back onto the main deck. She looked back and saw that Harry was watching her curiously holding his silver hook in his hand, stroking it in thought. She smiled at him despite herself; the wind blew her hair across her face. When she moved it aside, Harry Hook was gone.

Tammy was sat in a pale pink room, on a pale pink bed. The room did not match the two girls who had brought her here. Mal and Evie were sat opposite her on a bed similar to the one she was sat on except the duvet looked like it had been stained with dirt.
'These dresses are beautiful...' Tammy thought aloud.
Evie squealed.
'You think? I'm making them for Cotillion!' Evie stood up and ran her hands along the silken designs, one in every colour it seemed. She stopped at a garish yellow number.
'This one is for Mal!'
Tammy looked at the dress, then she looked at Mal. Her long platinum blonde hair hid her delicate face, she looked up at the dress.
'Or should I say Princess Mal!'
'You shouldn't E, Ben and I are just...steady.'
'King Ben!'
King? Princess? Tammy must be dreaming. What the hell was a Cotillion anyway?
A knock on the door pulled her from her thoughts. Mal stood warily and walked over to the door. She opened it to a handsome boy with light brown hair in a blue suit. He was wearing a crown on his head, he smiled at Mal.
'Hey Mal! Hey Evie!' Evie waved, the boy noticed Tammy, 'Hey...erm...'
'Tammy.' Evie suggested.
'Tammy, hey.' The boy amended.
'Hi.' Tammy assumed this must be Ben. King Ben. With the crown and all...
Ben's attention turned back to Mal, she had changed into a white dress while the three girls had been in the room.
'Are you ready to go? Lumiere is panicking we're going to be late.' The boys face crinkled as he laughed. Mal's head tilted to right and her laugh lilted across the room.
'We won't be late! Lumiere needs to try the calming techniques I told him last week.' Mal's voice had become gentler sounding with Ben than it had been earlier in the grounds.
'Well we better go tell him that before he burns himself out worrying!' Ben held his arm out to Mal then looked into the room again.
'Have her back by 10!' Evie shouted as they walked out of the door.
Ben's laugh was the only answer she got.

Tammy looked out of the window, Evie had gone to class. Goodness class. That seemed a strange class to run in a school but Tammy was realising a few things were strange at Auradon Prep. She pulled at her dress. Evie hadn't liked Tammy's mini-dress and had insisted she tr on one of her new designs. A sunset orange number that had capped sleeves and poofed out at the waist a little, prom dress like, it ended just above her knee. She walked over to the bed about to sit down when another knock rang from the door. This knock was heavier then Ben's had been. Stronger.
'Evie! Mal! You home?'
The voice was deep. A male's voice.
Tammy stopped. Should she answer the door? He wasn't looking for her, Mal and Evie weren't here. He wasn't expecting an answer.
The door shook again as he pounded it three times.
'Helloooo, come on you idiots I can hear you breathing in there!'
Tammy looked up, confused, could he? Hell, she may as well answer the door, what else was she doing?
She padded over to the door opening it just as the man was about to knock again. He stopped short of whacking her on the head. He moved his hand back so she could see his face. He was tanned, looking at her in confusion with deep brown eyes, his mouth was set in a confused frown. His long dark hair spilled from underneath a grey beanie hat covering his broad shoulders. He wore a leather jacket that was crimson red in places and royal blue in others, his leather pants matched his jacket. His sleeves were cut off to show off his strong arms. He stared at her, she stared at him. Her own hazel eyes meeting his.
'You're not Mal or Evie.' He surmised.
'I am not...I'm Tammy.' She smiled and managed to hold her hand out to shake his.
'Tammy huh? Haven't seen you around, I think I'd have noticed you.'
'I'm new...'
'You're not from the Isle, I would remember.'
Tammy smiled, she could feel herself reddening.
'And your name is?' She asked him, she needed to take the heat off herself.
'The names Jay.'
'Jay huh?'
He half smiled at her, his voice was velvet smooth.
'Well, Jay, can I help you with something you might...need?' She looked up at him. She saw his cheeks redden ever slightly, just her intention. His facade faltered but he caught himself.
'Maybe another time Tammy. Right now I need magic!'
With that he turned and sauntered off down the corridor. Tammy watched him go, his footsteps were silent. It wasn't till she closed the door and sat on the bed that she realised her orange friendship bracelet had gone.

All-right, that's your fill! Whatcha think? Any good? Please review so I know how it was

Love y'all
