Okay, I know I have not uploaded anything in years. I have no excuses for it and I apologize to everyone who reads my stories. I had this idea in my head since I saw the movie and I wanted to get it out.
Disclaimer: I own nothing.
I had been going to Auradon Prep since I was 14 years old. Before that, I was pretty much home schooled. Before that I went to Neverland Academy and Wonderland High. Not in that order. Let me put it this way, I moved around a lot. Blame my parents I guess, I was stuck on traveling ships most of my life. And by traveling ships I meant The Jolly Rodger. I hung out with Captain Hook a lot during my childhood. Granted he is also married to my mother Ursula, and is my older brother's father…and mine.
Maybe I should start over. My name is Octavia Penelope Jones, everyone calls me Penelope though. Octavia Jones, daughter of Captain Hook, one of the most feared pirates in history, and Ursula, the sea witch with tentacles. But on my school files, I am O. Penelope Jones, daughter of Killian and Ursula Jones due to the fact that people never got a chance or even took the time to learn my father's real name. One older brother names Jameson (I call him James), who is taking up the family business.
I will have to explain that too huh? Well it kind of all began when my parents first met. I know what you are thinking, how did these two meet and fall in love? Lemme tell you, it didn't happen all at once. My dad was escorting passengers back to Neverland from their vacation in Wonderland. After realizing that the job of a pirate was in decline due to the whole Auradon thing, he started offering people rides between pillages (for a price of course, keeping up a ship isn't exactly cheap). Anyway, they got attacked by a Kraken. Turns out, they were in his waters and he wasn't happy about it so he decided to sink the ship for the fun of it. Long story short, the Kraken was defeated by my dad and one of the other passengers who suddenly grew eight tentacles. Yep, my mom.
Turns out after being corrupt by King Trident's power and nearly dying, she wanted to do some soul searching and decided that traveling was the best way to do it. After dropping all of the passengers off in Neverland, dad ran into (you guessed it) the crocodile. Mom burst onto the scene and threw ol' leather face into The Mermaid's Lagoon. In a way to thank her for all the help, my dad asked her out on a date. She actually said no. Unfortunately he had to leave back to help people travel so that was that. About 6 months later, he came back and got in a fight with Peter Pan. It didn't end well so dad was stuck in Neverland for a few months until he could rebuild the ship. Turns out that mom swam back to Neverland the next day and they were reunited. After two months of talking while dad worked on the ship, mom finally agreed to a date.
Long story short they were married a year later, my older brother was born then a couple of years later I came along with the same eight tentacles as my brother and mother. The rest is kind of history.
I was born and raised in Neverland, because enemies with Patrick Pan on my first day of school, knocked him out by lunch period…
After Neverland, I spent some time in Wonderland... I accidentally knocked out Quinton Hearts during gym class…
Pretty much home schooled (okay, ship schooled) until I was about 13, then I enrolled into Auradon prep by and became a freshman.
Pretty much no one knows who I am. At school I am deemed 'The nerd'. Mostly because I have one of the highest averages in the entire school (I am pretty much tied with Doug). Anyway, the only person who knows who I am is the Prince himself, Ben.
It was a complete accident let me tell you. I didn't even want to associate with him in the first place. Sure we sat next to each other in a few classes and he was my partner for gym once (mostly because no one else would and I am safe to assume that he took pity on me). He hangs around with all of the royals and there is one who I just can't stand. The girl…Audrey is her name… practically hangs off him arm like a bracelet. She also annoys me all the way down to my tentacles.
I digress, Ben actually caught me sneaking off the school grounds one night to head down to the docks. I had to do a check in with Flotsam and Jetsam and let them know to tell mom and dad that I was okay. I felt someone was behind me mid conversation (they at least had the manners to wait until I was finished talking to my friends before they ratted me out and I was expelled), and whipped around, cutlass in my hand and all tentacles ready to find Prince Ben with his hands up as a way of saying that he wasn't going to try anything.
"What are you doing here? Were you following me?" I remember asking in a low voice like my mother taught me when she wanted to intimidate someone.
"I saw you sneaking out and I didn't want you to get in trouble." He looked down towards my extra arms and his eyes widened. "You're…"
"The daughter of two former villains?" It wasn't a big secret that Captain Hook and Ursula the sea witch had children, no one knew who they were. "Are you going to tell?" Truthfully I didn't want to leave this school.
"No, I won't. Your parents are not evil anymore and I can tell you are not either."
I lowered my sword and my tentacles retreated under my shirt and disappeared (Thank you Wonderland magic). I looked at him. "You're not?"
He smiled a genuine smile. "No, but I want you to tell me everything."
I looked over my shoulder to the eels watching me. They got the hint and swam off quickly. I sheathed my blade and sat down on the dock. I felt him sit next to me and I began my tale.
By the time the sun was rising, I told him my life story and swore him to secrecy (I wasn't totally comfortable with the school knowing yet due to the fact that I wanted to be judged for who I was and not who my parents were). He, in turn, told me all about himself, fears, goals and who he wanted to be. By the time we snuck back onto school grounds, Ben and I formed a friendship that I couldn't even begin to describe.
To this day Ben is my first and best friend. My parents know about him and desperately want to meet him. The king and queen know about me but not my family (due to the whole Born in Neverland thing they think that my father is one of the Lost Boys).
By the time I was out of bed, tentacles retreating into my shirt and desperately trying to locate my other shoe, there was a knock at my door (for some reason there was an odd number of girls in our year so I lucked out and got the room to myself) and I cracked my head on the desk.
"Come in!" I called out and my door swung open.
"Morning Penelope." I heard Ben's voice carry throughout my room. I stood up to find him holding a fruit muffin in one hand and my other show in the other. "I did it."
"You found my shoe and saved me from scurvy?" I grabbed the shoe and sat on my bed to get it on.
"I made my first Royal Decree." I stopped mid knot and looked at him. "They are coming here this afternoon."
"Ben, that's awesome!" I tackled him into a hug and laughed.
"Mom and dad were less than happy but then I explained my reasoning. I'm hoping that they will come around."
I pulled away. "I'm sure they will. They just need time." I went to my desk and grabbed my backpack and camera. "Do you want an article for the school paper, you majesty?" I mock bowed.
"That would be most excellent, my lady." He made a dramatic bow and we both erupted into giggles.
Unfortunately before class, Audrey came up and swiped Ben before I had the chance to give him some Neverland taffy from my Dad. Long story short, I was excused from class to help welcome the kids from The Isle of the Lost (I knew what it was like to be the child of a villain… talk about bad times in Neverland). I stood on the other side of Ben in the front walk way, camera in my hands and a piece of taffy in my mouth (Ben quickly swallowed his before Audrey came over after powdering her make up once again).
Doug and the marching band stood with us and students stood on all ends of the drive way, shouting words of encouragement as the Fairy Godmother came up to stand with us. When the limo came to a stop and the door opened, I snapped the first picture…
Okay guys, what were your thought? Is it good? Is it bad? Do you want another chapter?
