Did you all see the little hint I left at the end of Unexpected? I've seriously had this sequel planned since chapter 1 of Unexpected. And this one's a doozy. So be warned!
DISCLAIMER: I do not own Descendants. I'm only gonna say it once because I don't want to keep putting this on every chapter.
8 years ago, Mal helped Jay with an art project. She realized she liked him, yada yada...you know the story. Same for Carlos and Evie. Crushes. Rejection. A kiss. It was all a big mess.
Thankfully, it all worked out and Carlps and Evie started dating and Jay and Mal did, too. A little bumps in the road here and there, but they quickly overcame it. But then, graduation came. Mal wanted them all to go to the same college together near Auradon City (where they lived), but the boys had different plans. They left Auradon City for a college in Corona. Carlos said it had great classes. Jay wanted Mal and Evie to go with them, but they wanted to stay in Auradon City. Sadly, they had to part ways. Carlos and Evie broke up due to the long-distance thing, but Jay and Mal tried to make it work. It didn't, so they broke up as well. But the boys promised that once college was over, they would come back to Auradon City and get back together with them.
It's been a year since Mal and Evie graduated. Now, Evie's an intern for a big fashion company. Mal isn't doing anything exciting. She lives by herself in a small apartment and has a job as an artist. Evie lives somewhere else. Sometime in the middle of college, the boys stopped all communication with the girls. They used to video chat almost every day, but then they just stopped. Things just aren't like how they used to be.

A 24 year-old Mal unlocked the door to her apartment carrying a bunch of groceries. She set aside her key and began to put away the stuff. Once she was done with that, she walked into her room. She had no roommate, which was great for her since she liked her privacy. The walls and the floor in her room were white, but everything else was either black or purple, with little bits of green or pink here and there.
Near her window was a black dresser and on top of that were pictures of her and her friends in light purple and green frames. Mal began to stare at them, her mind going back to the days when they were in high school. The first one was of her and Evie at Ben's coronation. The second was a photo of all of them, Evie on Carlos' back and Mal on Jay's. Mal looked over at the last photo and sighed. It was a picture of her and Jay.
It really has been a long time since they last saw each other. Mal wished she didn't act like she didn't care when the boys last visited before they stopped communication. It was a real mystery why they stopped video chatting, calling, texting, or even emailing. She missed them. She missed Jay. It was proven they were each other's true love. But now they're separated. Mal hated that. Something snapped in her brain. She couldn't live like this anymore. There was no way she was going to live like this for the rest of her life.
Determined to fix things, she quickly packed up an extra pair of clothes, her spell book, and snacks and stuffed them into her worn out dark purple leather backpack. She put on her boots and grabbed her keys before heading out the door. There's someone really important she needs to talk to.

A knock was heard at the door of Evie's apartment. Evie stopped what she was doing and answered it, surprised at who she saw.
"Mal!" she exclaimed.
Evie immediately hugged her friend. It's been what felt like forever since they saw each other. It's actually been two weeks.
"What are you doing here?" Evie asked, releasing her from the hug.
"I need your help," Mal answered.
Evie's grin grew smaller when she heard that. The seriousness in Mal's face worried her.
It's a little short, but I'm saving all the interesting stuff for later.
