This is a two-shot about the Descendant's first New Year's celebration in Auradon. They never had any celebrations of anything on the island (except Evie's birthdays XD).

Auradon New Year's:
Ben's POV:
It's December 29th in Auradon. The New Year's Eve Celebration is only two days away. I have something special planned for the Isle kids. I can't wait to tell them what it is!
I heard laughing coming from Jay and Carlos's room, so I figured Mal and Evie would be there too. Sure enough, there they were. They were playing their favorite video game, you know, the one that they played when they first got here. Even Evie was obsessed with it, despite the fact that it was a live-action game that required skill in fighting. She actually was really good.
I knocked on the door, even though it was already slightly opened. I heard the video game pause and footsteps came closer to the door. Mal answered saying, "Look who decided to grace us with his presence!" then planted a quick kiss on my cheek.
"I have some news for you guys. As you probably have heard, Auradon Square has a huge New Year's celebration," I started. They nodded, showing that they actually knew what I was talking about. "Well, we also have musical performances, and I was wondering if you would like to come and, well perform," I asked them.
Evie squealed in such a high pitch that we all covered our ears. "YES! YES! Guys, we HAVE to perform!" she screamed, jumping everywhere. I have never seen her so excited, not even with Doug. "Ohh, what song are we going to sing?" she wondered out loud.
"Well, I was thinking we could have the whole group sing 'Set it Off'," I told her. "You know, you four, me, Audrey, Doug, Jane, Chad, and Lonnie," I explained.
"That's perfect! I can't wait! OMG! We need outfits! I have to start working on them right now!" she was talking very fast as she ran out the door, probably going to her sewing machine in her and Mal's room.
"Has she always been like this?" I asked the other three.
"Yup," they all responded in unison.
"So, what do you guys say? I think I got Evie's answer already," I laughed.
"Yea, dude. I'm so there," Jay said, playfully punching my shoulder as he made his way to the door. "I'm gonna go find Audrey," he said. And with that, he left.
"Sure, I'd love too. On one condition," Carlos responded.
"What might that be?" I asked him.
"We do that awesome dance breakdown that we did at the coronation after party," he told me. I know he loves to dance, so I should've expected this.
"Done. We all know it, and it'd be really fun," I told him.
"Awesome. Let's do it," he stated, walking out the door. Only Mal and I remained in the center of the room.
"What do you say Mal? You want to perform on New Year's?" I asked my girlfriend. I was a bit concerned about why she was so silent.
She shrugged her shoulders. "I don't know, Ben. People are still judging us. They think we are still the villains we were raised to be," she told me. I didn't know she felt this way.
"Mal, don't let the opinion of others affect what you do," I told her. "It's gonna be fun with all of us on stage, singing and dancing."
She took this into consideration, then responded, "Okay, I'll do it for you and my friends."
Evie's POV:
Two days! I only have two days to make outfits for ten people! Oh, how will I be able to do this? I decided to start with Mal's outfit first, since I already had her measurements and an idea in mind. I didn't even know Doug was in the room until he asked "What are you doing?"
"Well, since we are all performing in Auradon Square for New Year's, I'm making us all outfits to wear," I responded.
"Wait, who's performing in Auradon Square and when?" he asked, surprised at what I just said.
"Ben didn't tell you? Our whole squad is singing and dancing to 'Set It Off' in Auradon Square for New Year's Eve." I told him.
"Oh, that's really cool. We'll get to dance together again," he said blushing. Before I knew it, his lips met mine. It wasn't a long kiss, just a quick one. When we pulled away, we were both blushing. I thought Doug's face was going to burst into flames because it was so red. We started laughing.
"So…"
"So…"
"Do you have any design ideas for me yet?" my boyfriend asked me.
"You know it," I answered, smiling.
Jay's POV:
"Audrey!" I called out when I saw my girlfriend.
"Jay!" she yelled back.
"I was looking for you!" we announced in unison.
"Okay, ladies first," I said.
"Guess what?" she asked in a very excited voice that reminded me of Evie.
"What?" I responded.
"The ten of us are performing in Auradon Square on New Year's Eve!" she squealed, jumping excitedly. She and Evie are two peas in a pod: both polite, elegant girls, but they get over-excited.
"I was just going to tell you the same thing," I informed her. "So…. you want to go get something for dinner?" I asked.
"Sure," she replied. We linked arms and started towards the cafeteria.
Carlos's POV:
I can't believe it! Every year, I would listen to the faint sounds of music coming from Auradon on New Year's Eve, since mom would never watch the celebration. I always wished I could celebrate at least once. Now, I'm going to be performing with my best friends and my girlfriend. I couldn't wait to tell Jane!
I spotted her leaving the line after she got her dinner. I waved to her, motioning for her to come and sit. "I have news for you," I told her.
"What is it Carlos? Is everything okay?" she asked. I love how she's so concerned about me.
"Yes, everything is perfectly fine. We are going to perform at Auradon Square on New Year's Eve!" I practically yelled. A few kids stared.
"That's cool," she said timidly. She wasn't too fond of stages and performing publically.
"Jane, there's nothing to worry about," I assured her, looking her in the eye. "We are singing and dancing to 'Set It Off', just like at the coronation." This seemed to relax her and a smile spread across her face.
"In that case, I can't wait," she told me quietly.
After dinner, we went back to her dorm and watched a movie.
No one's POV:
This is going to be the best New Year's ever all four former villains thought, excited for their big performance two days away.
That was part 1 of my New Year's Descendants two-shot. Next part will be up very soon.
