Authors note: Welcome back. See, told you I wasn't done. Anyway this will be set after Descendants 2 so if you have not seen it yet there might be some minor spoilers. This story will focus on the eventual pairing of Jay and Lonnie, Jay is the son of Jafar and Lonnie is the daughter of Mulan and Shang. I hope this pairing catches on cause they had some wonderful if brief moments in the film. Jay deserves some love and given the love of the sword between the two and the thrill of action it only makes sense to leap into action while the iron is hot. Jannie or Jonnie perhaps would be their pairing name, maybe, just throwing it out there. Anyway this picks up where the second film ends on the ship after the festivities.

Descendants: Sword of love

CH.1: A moment alone

The festivities were still carrying on and Jay found himself looking out at the ocean. He was happy for Mal and Ben…they deserved each other. Carlos and Jane were on the dance floor getting a bit more time in even as the music was waning in the background. Chad did not make it as he had gone after Audrey…he supposed those two belonged together. Hearing footsteps he looks over to spot Lonnie as she hands him a drink.

"Thanks, you didn't have to…" He trails off noting her tuck a strand of hair behind her ear and quickly looks away feeling his cheeks flush.

"I know, just, you looked thirsty. What are you looking at?" Jay swallows a bit and drinks the punch letting it settle his nerves some.

"I'm just looking at…the ocean…cause it is so big and…" He starts laughing as he feels like he is not making sense. However Lonnie starts to laugh as well and the two share a moment before their laughs die down.

"No, seriously, what are you looking at?" Her question brought a sigh from him and he realized he could not get anything past her. Truth was he was looking somewhere, the ocean, big as it was could not hide the location on his mind.

Jay grips the rail a bit before loosening up his grip and settling on the memories…which seemed so recent. "I'm thinking of home. When we were on the Isle…I thought of visiting my father. I know how wrong that is given what I left behind…but…part of me wanted to show him what I have become, you know?"

Jay knew he should be having this conversation with the other Isle of the Lost children but somehow in this moment he felt like confiding in Lonnie. She had joined them on their latest venture…in fact he couldn't see anyone but her joining them.

"I'm sure your father would have been proud of you…or…give you some indication if not through words but through action. I have no idea what you guys went through living there long as you as you did, but, you are here now charting your own lives…and…I'm glad you are here."

Jay finds himself speechless and as he reaches over he places his hand over hers. The two blush a bit as the this is the most physical the two had been…ever. Oh sure they had shared a dance and some meaningful glances but this was something new…something unexpected but totally worth it. Jay had been known as a flirt but he knew now what he wanted…and he wanted what Mal, Evie, and Carlos had. It was time he man up and no other girl could quite keep up with him the way that Lonnie did. Back on the Isle he noted her moves…and she had moves.

"I'm glad I'm here too…and…Lonnie…I was wondering if-." He was facing her now and she was inches from him. Her eyes expectant and he felt put on the spot suddenly. His throat was constricting but he knew he had to get it out or he would chicken out later.

"Hey Jay…everyone wants you to show them your sick dance moves. Oh hey Lonnie." Carlos says as he walks over. Jay shot him a look but as he looks back at Lonnie she places a hand on his face.

"I'm not going anywhere Jay…but…you might want to show them your moves while you can. It is these moments to treasure the most." She walks off and he feels like he just wasted a perfect opportunity right here.

"You know in that moment I would have told her how I felt, but, that is probably just me. You coming bro?" Carlos grins as he heads off to find Jane.

"Carlos!" Jay yells after him but he can't be mad at him. Carlos was his best friend and he was sure he would have time to tell Lonnie how he felt after the dance.

The music was pulsing, the time was right…he takes the center of the ship and looks around at all the people gathered. Clapping his hands he does a few one two movements with his feet then drops down low to the deck and brings himself up twisting his body a bit. The deck was still water logged a bit from the time that Uma had sent heavy amounts of sea water on deck, but, it did not ruin the mood any.

"Go Jay!" A girl calls out and several other girls also chime in. Jay just nods his head offering up one of his many smiles. The beat was sick…his friends were all there…and Lonnie, huh, where did she go? He rose up and did a few more pop and locks and does a slide but he can't see her. There are so many people around him and he holds up a hand.

"Alright I'm out…Carlos you are in; show them how it is done." He pushes past the girls wanting to dance with him as he looks for her.

Jay is all wet but that doesn't slow him down any…though his shoes lose traction a few times. When he makes it to the top he finds Lonnie looking out at the ocean. "You move quite smoothly…"

"Yeah, well, dancing is what I do. Look Lonnie, there is something I wanted to tell you…before Carlos interrupted-."

"Are you always flirting?" The words cut through to him and he tries to laugh it off but he notices she won't face him.

"Lonnie…it is nothing personal, I just…it just comes off that way. I came with you to the dance remember, so, about what I-."

"You came with me, right, I remember…but…I saw how you were, saw how they react around you and how there is this connection. They surround you…even at school. You lead them on…you make them believe something will happen but it won't. How can…how can I open my heart to someone who is like that?"

Jay swallows a bit unsure what to say at this point. Honestly he was a bit ticked off but not because one might think. She had him pegged and what sucked was he was struggling to find a way out of this. He wanted Lonnie as his girlfriend but the way she saw him was just as some player who led girls along and broke their hearts. Back on the Isle…he was exactly the same way, and, girls ate it up…and he didn't really let it sink in how they must feel.

"I know you have something to ask…but…I'm not sure how I would respond if you asked now. I just need a little time is all…alright?" Jay swallows again and wants to place a hand on her shoulder but he wasn't sure how it would be received.

"Sure, I can do that, but if you ever need me…I'll be there." Jay runs a hand through his hair and without saying another word he leaves her there. The rest of the party kind of went as it usually did…but…he didn't really feel like partying. Deep down though he would not let this bring him too far down…he still had feelings for Lonnie and no matter how long it took he would prove his worth to her, he just wasn't sure how yet.

Authors note: Looks like these two are off to a rocky start. However this is only just the beginning as an adventure bigger than these two will be set up in the next chapter. In the next chapter we go back to China where a new threat rises and like every Disney Villain…there is an offspring waiting to show their stuff.
