Alright so this is kind of sad. Basically I have not been in the mood to work on any of my stories recently and generally speaking I am a mood writer (sounds really weird I know). However I realized that what I was really in the mood for was a story following Gil and that is where this came from. After watching Descendants 2 for like the hundredth time or something I realized how much I adore Gil and he has quickly become one of my favorite characters after Carlos. Some people had been asking if I was going to do a story that takes after the second movie and since that was my calling at the moment this is what came out. It starts 2 weeks after Cotillion and will mainly focus on Harry and Gil but Dizzy also shows up as she will be coming over after the second movie brought her over. The couples as of right now in this story are: BenXMal, EvieXDoug, and CarlosXJane. JayXLonnie will also be in this story. Uma is only mentioned in passing this chapter but when/if she appears she will be parried with Harry. Audrey and Chad are still broken up but Audrey will be in the story so you can see how that will play out.

Keeping a Promise

It had been two weeks since the Cotillion and Ben was in the final stages of getting things set up for a new group of VKs to come to Auradon. Dizzy was coming with Claudine and Ben had told his friends about those two already. Claudine Frollo was on a list of people Evie had given to him that wanted a second chance. However, two more people were coming that Ben hadn't told anyone about. Uma was still out there somewhere and missing despite how hard everyone looked after the battle. Ben still wanted to keep his promise to her about letting her have a say so he was bringing Harry Hook and Gil over from the Isle. He only hoped they would come.

"Hey Ben, what's up?" Jay asked bringing Ben out of his thoughts. The King had asked his girlfriend, Evie, Carlos, Jane, Lonnie, Jay, and Doug to meet with him before the group of new VKs came over and that meant he needed to tell them about Harry and Gil.

"Well you guys know I am bring Dizzy and Claudine over but I didn't tell you I was also bringing Harry Hook and Gil over," Ben said. The remark was greeted by silence as the others started at him all of them but Doug remembering the pirate ship.

"Why? They don't want to be good," Evie said her tone calm and reasonable.

"We don't know that. I am bringing them over because I promised Uma I would give her a chance that she would have a say. I know that was kind of a mess but I am hoping that by bringing Harry and Gil over will show her I meant what I said and besides I need to give them a chance too," Ben explained.

"They aren't going to like it here Ben not without Uma. They are probably going to have a tough time adjusting. I know you want to give them the chance and I am all for that but do you think they will even be willing to come?" Mal asked her boyfriend.

"I don't know if they will want to come but I need to at least try. Their notices should be getting there today. I thought long and hard about it Mal. I feel like they are neglected Uma told me it hurt when I chose you guys and she was angry. They probably hurt too and this will show that I do care," Ben told her.

"Well if they do agree to come over here one of us should be like a guide for them. Claudine was in the Anti Hero's club and has been working towards learning how to be good, Dizzy doesn't have a mean bone in her body but Harry and Gil are not only followers, Gil more so then Harry, but they must be reeling from Uma's defeat and we don't know how they will deal with that," Carlos said. Jay, Evie, and Mal nodded in agreement. Ben looked at Jay.

"Would you be willing?" he asked. Jay considered this for a moment then nodded.

"Sure, I will keep an eye on them but I would suggest you doing a weapons check before they get here. Harry almost always has a sword on him," Jay said. Ben shook his head.

"I want them to trust me," he said.

"Trust me Ben there is a fine line between trust and stupid. I am not saying you have to pat them down or something but making sure they leave their swords behind would be smart," Jay countered. Ben dipped his head in acknowledgment seeing Jay's point.

"What about Uma? She is still out there and I am willing to bet she can't get back on the Isle with the barrier around it. If Harry and Gil are here they may start trying to find her," Evie said.

"In the end Uma decided not to fight Mal. She went away so maybe there is a chance there is good in her. Jay is partly watching out for Uma while keeping an eye on Harry and Gil. If she finds out they are coming she may come out of hiding herself and when she does we will deal with that situation when the need arises," Ben said.

"Well sounds like you thought all this through," Lonnie said.

"I tried to," Ben replied.

"Does F.G. know they are coming over?" Doug asked. Ben knew he meant Harry and Gil not Dizzy and Claudine who had brought to her attention shortly after Cotillion.

"Yea she knows and maybe it isn't the best idea but they will have a room together," Ben said. Evie laughed.

"I am not sure what they will make of that. They are pirates these rooms ought to be a surprise to them," she said. Ben grinned.

"Well I would rather want to sleep on a bed here then the cot they made me sleep on when they captured me," Ben said.

The Isle of the Lost

Ursula's Fish and Chips was unusually quiet as it had been since the battle. With Uma gone one of her sisters was now forced to cover her shift and she wasn't happy about it. The crew of The Lost Revenge were sprawled out around the shop in a more or less sour mood. Harry had been forced to take the helm as Captain after Uma's disappearance. Despite how badly he wanted it beforehand taking it this way seemed wrong. Harry had Gil take over as first mate till Uma got back. He still wanted to believe that she would come back with the wand and free them all. Harry glanced over at normally cheerful Gil who hadn't touched his food. The son of Gaston was staring off in the distance. To Gil's simple mind Uma had abandoned them somehow, he felt like she could have won that fight but instead she had left. It was painful for Gil that she too would leave them. Uma cared about her crew and in their own right they were all family. That meant that Harry now had to take up the task of keeping everyone's spirts up something he wasn't that good at.

"Come on guys. This isn't over yet," Harry said although he felt like he was only talking to himself.

"We ride with the tide," Gil said in an effort to support Harry but his heart just wasn't in it.

"Come on! Mal has beaten us before and Uma held us together. She is working on a way to get us off this wretched Isle and we should hold our heads high while we are waiting for her. It is Uma, daughter of Ursula!" Harry said getting up on the table. He had there attention now. The whole crew was looking up to him. "Gil!" Harry called and the son of Gaston leaped up on the table beside him.

"Auradon shall be ours right Harry?" he asked hopefully. Harry grinned that manically smile.

"Exactly! Uma wouldn't want us to give up. We will train harder. We will be stronger. So that when she returns with the wand we will be ready. Let's hear it for her!" Harry shouted.

"Uuuuuuma, Uuuuma!" the crew shouted in response. Harry grinned once more, glad to have lifted their spirts for now. Gil was smiling once more.

"Uh Gil? Harry?" Gonzo said when the two got off the table.

"What?" Harry asked.

"You might want to hide. Some jokers from Auradon are coming," Bonny said looking over Gonzo's shoulder.

"What do you think they want?" Gil asked Harry. Harry could sense the nervousness in Gil's voice but only because he knew Gil for so long.

"If they can't get Uma they are coming after us and there is no way I can reach our swords in time curse you Ursula," Harry growled angrily.

"We could hold them off for ya," Gonzo suggested. Harry shook his head.

"Na. We will not run," Harry said. The doors opened and several couriers and guards came into the shop glancing around before spotting Harry and Gil. They made their way over to the two of them while the rest of the crew flung colorful insults at them. If the group was offended they didn't say anything.

"We have something for the two of you," the head guard said. Gil looked at Harry his eyes asking permission. Harry nodded once and Gil slipped over the table took the two envelopes and then slid back over the table and handed the one addressed to Harry to him. Both of them opened the letters while the rest of the crew watched on.

"As the King lost his mind?!" Harry asked.

"What?" Bonny asked.

"Me and Gil have been invited to come to Auradon," Harry said the surprise in his voice obvious. He also had to mentally stop himself from saying Bore-adon.

"What?!" the crew asked in startled surprise.

"We do require a response," the head courier said.

"Harry no not after what happened with Uma," Gil pleaded softly to Harry. The black-harried boy squeezed his shoulder.

"Think about it Gil this could be our only chance to find her," he whispered back. Gil's eyes widened so Harry felt the need to add something. "Don't you dare say anything or I will feed you to the sharks," Harry threatened. Gil nodded quickly. Sometimes it was hard to tell with Harry. When Gil made Uma mad (although he wasn't always sure why) she would just kick him out for an hour or two then send Harry after him. Gil wasn't sure where Harry's boundaries were but he was pretty sure Harry would indeed feed him to the sharks.

"Well?" the head guard asked obviously debating how long he could keep the crew at bay if they decided they would jump him.

"We will come," Harry said.

"What!" the crew responded.

"Shut up you knuckleheads," Harry snapped back and they quieted. The courier was looking at Gil. Harry realized they needed Gil to conform he wanted to come. Harry gave the boy a nudge when Gil didn't take the hint.

"Of course, if Harry going I am going," Gil murmured.

"Alright then be at the Curl Up and Dye salon at eight tomorrow and there will be a limo there to pick you up," the courier said and didn't wait for a response before he and the others left. The crew turned to look at Harry after they left.

"Why did you do that?" they asked.

"Uma may need our help. She was so close. She had the wand almost in her grasp and true love's kiss had to ruin everything. She will need us to get Mal out of the picture," Harry said.

"Will you come back?" Bonny asked.

"Of course, with the wand in hand," Harry purred. The crew cheered loudly…well most of them. Gil didn't join in. Harry decided to talk to him privately. The two left to start packing what little they had for their trip tomorrow. "What's the matter Gil?" Harry asked. Gil chewed his lip.

"Nothing Harry," he said. Harry raised an eyebrow.

"Don't lie to your Captain or your First Mate," he told him.

"Fine I am scarred Harry. They beat Uma and Mal transformed into that dragon….," Gil started and then nearly went on rambling till Harry cut him off.

"They didn't beat Uma she just realized she wasn't going to win that fight. I will be with you Gil and I will not let anyone from Auradon hurt you. We look out for each other right?" Harry asked. Gil nodded.

"We do," he said.

"Then we have nothing to worry about," Harry told him. Gil nodded and his confidence returned.

"Thanks Harry," he said.

"No problem. Auradon will pay," Harry said.

"Bore-adon," Gil said and Harry chuckled.

"Right Bore-adon."

Hope you guys liked it. I am really sorry if anyone is OC but I tried to make Harry and Gil like they were in the movie just kind of lost because Uma is gone. It was always my head cannon that Uma looked out for everyone in her crew and cared for them deeply and the top three (Uma, Harry, and Gil) were all very close to each so with Uma gone they will be leaning off of each other.
