All My Friends Say Chapter 1: All My Friends Say, a descendants, 2015 fanfic

Look who's back! I've been SUPER busy lately that I haven't had that much time to write. This is an idea that I've been playing with for a few weeks and I finally finished the first chapter and am working on the second. Basically this story is broken up into 6 chapters, maybe 7 (I still haven't decided). The first chapter is kind of the prologue and the next 5 chapters are each of the couples (Chad and Audrey, Jay and Lonnie, Doug and Evie, Ben and Mal, and Carlos and Jane - not necessarily in that order but I plan on ending with Carlos and Jane because that's the couple that I want to highlight). I might have an ending chapter where everyone is in and they get their happily ever after but I haven't decided yet. In the meantime, enjoy this new story by me!

Characters and song don't belong to me.

Chapter 1: All My Friends Say

"Our next performance will be a song performed by Good is The New Bad so I give you Mal, Evie, Lonnie, Audrey, and Jane!" Fairy Godmother announced to the auditorium filled with students. It was Auradon Prep's annual talent show, where students can show off their talent. So far, there were some students dancing, others singing, and one student did *magic (strikethrough)* illusions. A couple of the princesses even sang so birds, squirrels, and deer would come to their side, but were quickly shooed away by Fairy Godmother. Now, it was getting to the end of the show and it was time for the girls to give their boyfriends some sweet revenge, in front of the entire student body.

"Nervous?" Jane looked behind her to see Mal. The fairy goddaughter nodded.

"A little." She peaked out into the crowd and instantly saw Carlos, looking so adorable in his red, white, and black jacket in the front row. In fact, all the girls' boyfriends were in the front row. Jay sat next to Carlos on his left and Doug sat on his right. To Jay's left, sat Chad and to Doug's right, sat Ben. The five boys were currently cheering, clapping, and whistling for their girlfriends to come out. Too bad they were unaware what the girls would be up to or else they won't be cheering, clapping, and whistling.

"Well, don't be. We'll knock those boys dead after they figure out what we know about them." Mal patted Jane on the back before taking her place on stage. Jane just gulped nervously before taking her place near Lonnie on stage. It's been a few weeks since the girls found their boyfriends were keeping secrets from them, always scampering off together in hushed tones. For the past few weeks, the girls tried to play off like they had no idea but it was getting to the point where they couldn't take anymore so they decided to do something about it.

The curtain drew open and revealed Mal on drums, Jane on banjo, Evie on guitar and vocals, Lonnie on keyboard and vocals, and Audrey on percussion and vocals. The boys stood up and cheered loudly for their girlfriends, yet they had no idea what was going to happen.

The song started Jane doing some fingering on the banjo and Mal started hitting the drums, just like they did when they rehearsed.

Hey!
Oh woah, oh woah, oh woah

Audrey stepped up to her microphone and started her solo, staring at Chad in the process. She vaguely heard him shout "woohoo, Audrey!" Oh, how he didn't know what was coming.

Maybe I should've known, maybe I should listen
They say he'll never change, he said with me it's different
I tell myself: "He has a good heart, he means well."
And I swear he's trying so hard

Jane does her little part of the song. She sings it with passion despite being shy about singing, even during the rehearsals.

But the number of times he's let me down, I can't count that high

The rest of the girls joined into the chorus.

All my friends say, he's lame,
You could do so much better than him
All my friends say, he lies,
Last week he made you cry
And all his friends say, she's crazy,
Emotional and unstable
All my friends say, just walk away
Hey!
Ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh

It was Lonnie's turn to take her solo and making eye contact with Jay, who immediately crosses his arms in defense and shifts uncomfortably in his seat because if Audrey said, or rather sang, something like that about Chad, Lonnie would do something similar about Jay. Unfortunately, he was right.

He always says he's broke, then buys new video games
Whenever we go out, he always asks me to pay
I'm getting tired of his stupid excuses
All his whining and his mood swings

Jane repeats her part with a slight change in lyrics.

But the number of times he's made me smile, I can't count that high

The rest of the girls sang the chorus once again.

Evie's part was a little less revenge-filled. She still loved her dopey boyfriend. Although he was classified as a band geek and nerd, he was sweet.

And all my friends say

Mal joins into her best friend's part.

You should leave him, leave him now

Evie glares at her before continuing with her part.

And all my friends say
He's no good for you, but somehow I don't care

Once again, all the girls sing the chorus

The auditorium erupted in cheers and applause when the song ended and the girls stood together in a line mirroring their boyfriends and took a bow, each eyeing their boyfriend. Mal noticed Ben was on his phone, apparently texting someone. Before she could figure out who, Evie nudged her best friend off the stage so she didn't hear all four of the remaining boys' phones give a 'ding' to signify that they had a new text message.

The four boys each brought out their own phone from their pocket and saw a new text from Ben. 'We HAVE to tell them tonight.' In sync, all five boys looked at one another and nodded. It was time their girlfriends knew what they were doing before something drastic happened. Two of the five girls had access to magic, one of the girls had access to swords, one of the girls had access to lots of pointy needles, and the last girl could charm any boy she wanted. Once the talent show was over, they would each tell their girlfriend what they were really up to. There was no turning back now.

Meanwhile, the girls had just made it off stage before squealing and giggling at the response that not only Auradon Prep had given them for such a performance but also the response they got from their boyfriends.

After they all calmed down, Evie spoke, "Okay, that was so awesome! Did you see the looks on their faces?" Each of the girls nodded.

"I know! I've never seen Chad look uncomfortable. They had no idea what hit them!" Audrey said in between giggles.

When Lonnie finally calmed down, she wanted to finalize their plan. "So after the show's over, we go about our usual business, and by the end of week, we are all single again. Agreed?" The other girls nodded in agreement. Lonnie noticed that Jane looked skeptical about their decision to break up with their boyfriend. "Jane, do you agree?" No response. "Hello, Jane? Can you hear me?" Nothing.

"Let me try." Mal stepped forward. "Jane? Snap out of it!" Mal snapped her fingers. No response. "Hey!" She shouted a little louder and clapped her hands. That seemed to do the trick as Jane blinked several times as it seemed as she was in a trace or thinking about something really hard that she forgot where she was and what she was doing.

"Huh? What?" Jane stared at four pairs of eyes staring back at her. It wasn't until Lonnie spoke up again, this time in a calm voice.

"Jane, do you agree with what we've decided on? Are you going to break up with Carlos?"

Jane averted eye contact with the daughter of Mulan and Shang. She seemed really nervous all of a sudden. "Well, you see guys…" How should she say it? The girls had been planning on breaking up with their boyfriends for weeks now. Was she getting cold feet? "I don't think it's such a good idea to break up with him so suddenly." She began to ramble. "I mean, he's so sweet and nice and cute. I've wanted to be his girlfriend for so long and he is my first boyfriend and I just don't want to break his heart while breaking mine at the same time. I really, really like him and it'll be hard for me if I broke up with him because we'll see each other around school for another year and it'll be really awkward." Jane and Carlos were a year younger than the rest of the gang. Everyone else would be graduating soon and going off on their own. "I just can't do this." She buried her head in her hands and looked dejected.

The four other girls looked at the headmistress's daughter in shock. They had never heard her say so much at one time. She usually rambled on and on when she was nervous, and that was most of the time. She would usually get nervous around her mother, Carlos, the bad villains like Uma, mean people, a large group of people, Carlos, during class presentations, in class, Carlos, when she's alone, in front of important people, and Carlos.

Lonnie looked at Audrey who looked at Mal who looked at Evie. The Evil Queen's daughter sighed. They all silently agreed that it should be her who should talk with Jane. She stepped up to the younger girl and placed a hand on her shoulder. "Jane, I know this is really hard for you. I know you like him, maybe even love him, so it's okay with me if you don't want to do this." Jane looked up at the blue-hair businesswoman and shook her head ferociously.

"N-no. It's okay. I'll do it. I'll be fine. I just have to think of how to bring it up to him." She was scared that she could possibly love him enough to let him go. Besides, the girls had planned to break up with them. There was no turning back now.

Oooh! I wonder what the boys are hiding! The first couple is Chad and Audrey!
