I've read so many FanFiction stories, but there was one theme that I see quite frequently. "Five times... and the one time..." I thought maybe I'd give it a shot. I also want to get "One Night, One Secret" out of my system by writing something I'm actually comfortable with. I'm just not the kind of author who likes to write smutty, M-rated stories with adulterated themes. I prefer to keep things between PG and PG-13.

Platonic or romantic depends on your perspective.

After stealing, vandalizing, and wrecking havoc all over the Isle of the Lost, along with some singing and dancing, the four descendants - Mal, Evie, Jay, and Carlos - received news from Mal's mother, Maleficent, that they've been chosen to go to school at Auradon Prep. They returned to Bargain Castle so Maleficent can explain her plan. Her plan was for them to steal Fairy God Mother's wand and free all the villains. They refused at first, but in the end, they had no choice.

The horn of a limo was heard from outside, which meant it was time for the teenagers to go. While Maleficent takes Mal to the balcony for one more mother-daughter moment, or her version of it, the rest of the descendant finish packing up.

With his mother's back turned, Carlos sneaks out to join his "friends". After turning a corner, he ends up bumping into Evie.

"Oops! My bad," said Carlos.

"Why the rush?" asked Evie. Noticing the bag in his hand, she realizes what he's up to. "You're coming with us, aren't you? Against your mother's orders?"

"Well, disobeying my mother is being bad, and that's what I want to be," said Carlos.

"Oh, you are a bad boy, Carlos," replied Evie, feeling like a proud parent. "Besides, I couldn't possibly go to Auradon without you. You're my first friend."

"And you're okay with that term?" asked Carlos.

"Just because we're villains, doesn't mean we can't have friends," said Evie.

"'Friend'. I never really thought I'd ever have one," said Carlos.

"A guy as bad and savvy as you are, I'm surprised you never had a friend before," said Evie.

"Yeah, if you've known me for your entire life, you'd understand why," said Carlos.

Evie could see the sorrow in Carlos' eyes. She knows she's not supposed to feel sympathy, but that's exactly what she's feeling. Villain or not, Carlos deserved friends. Even though they only met a few days ago, she grew fond of him for who he is. He's smart, witty, and she finds his shy nature adorable.

Evie did what she thought was right and put her arms around Carlos. The son of Cruella de Vil felt strange. He has never hugged or been hugged before. Yet, he found this experience to be comforting.

"Why are you doing this?" asked Carlos.

"Friends hug, don't they?" replied Evie. "Don't expect them to be coming all the time."

"I wouldn't dream of it," said Carlos.

"Hey, I wanted to ask you," said Evie. "How do I look?"

"Um, why are you asking me that?" asked Carlos.

"My mom wants me to find a prince. I wanna be sure I look beautiful enough to capture one's attention," said Evie. "I thought maybe I'd see things from a guy's perspective. So, do I look pretty?"

"You look more than pretty. You're, like, the fairest of them all," said Carlos.

"Are you sure about that?" asked Evie, feeling touched.

"If I was lying, I'd sound like I don't care," said Carlos. "Do I sound like I don't care?"

"You most certainly don't," replied Evie with a big smile on her face.

To Carlos' surprise, Evie leans closer and plants her lips on his cheek. He could his cheeks heating up. He feels like this every time he gets embarrassed in public, but this was different. Not only did his cheeks feel like they're burning, but his heart was racing. One hand was touching the spot where he was kissed, while his other hand touched his chest, feeling his heartbeat.

"Are you blushing?" asked Evie.

"W-w-w-wh-what? I d-don't know wh-what you're saying," stuttered Carlos.

"Uh, your cheeks are turning a bit red, and I'm pretty sure it's not lipstick," said Evie. "Your mother never kissed you on the cheek before?"

"No hugs. No kisses. No bedtime stories. No nothin'," replied Carlos.

"You poor thing," said Evie, actually feeling bad for him.

"Your mom?" asked Carlos.

"No nothin' either. Just make-up tips," answered Evie.

"You poor thing," said Carlos, simultaneously mocking her tone and showing sympathy.

Evie laughed a little in amusement. Carlos laughed along.

"Oh, God, you two are sickeningly gross."

The reaction came from Maleficent's daughter, who was standing not too far from them.

"If you two are done exchanging histories with parents, we have to go," said Mal.

And so, the Descendants head outside and board the limo. Cruella chases Carlos, but the boy outruns her, tosses his things in the trunk, and enters the limo with Evie. The driver starts driving towards Auradon. After seeing shelves full of sweet treats, Jay and Carlos started digging in. It made Mal roll her eyes in disgust. A container full of blue lollipops captured Evie's attention, so she started chowing down as well.

Mal finds a remote and pushes the button, which opens the window to the driver's seat. When Evie turns around and looks at what's ahead, she saw that the car was heading for the damaged bridge.

"Look!" she exclaimed, capturing her fellow VKs' attention.

"It's a trap!" yelled Carlos.

All four VKs learned towards each other as they screamed in fear, afraid that the limo will crash into the lake and they'll all meet their end. However, they didn't. When they opened their eyes and looked. They can see the limo crossing a golden glowing bridge. They were truly amazed. They have never seen anything like it before.

"It must be magic," guessed Evie.

While Mal questions the driver about the magical barrier, Evie and Carlos noticed that they're holding each other's hands. Before Jay can notice, they let go of each other, trying to avoid eye contact, feeling embarrassed.

After crossing the magical bridge, the VKs just sat down, relaxed, and ate while they waited for the limo to arrive at Auradon Prep. While Mal takes her time plotting and Jay continued to eat some sweets, Evie and Carlos constantly glance at each other. Every time Carlos looks at Evie, he thinks about the kiss she planted on his cheek. Every time Evie looks at Carlos, she thinks about how red he looked after she kissed his cheek.

Well, that's the first time. Hope this was a good start.
