It's very exciting when you have a clear vision for a story. XD Kind of a change for me, really.
Today is my one year anniversary on FF! LET'S SET IT OFF! WOOOO!
Anyway, here's my first story for Descendants! I am utterly obsessed with the entire franchise. Loved the movie and have vidspiration for it, I'm currently reading the book (and might I say, it is quite a weird change to come from the movie where Mal and Evie have a sisterly bond and then read the book where Mal hates her), awaiting for my local Kohl's to get stocked up with their clothes, and even though I never play with dolls, you better believe I want these ones! In conclusion - obsession. My new obsession.
Go ahead and read this short first chapter now. XD
"Seriously, I can stay on campus with you four if that would make things easier," Ben tried once more to convince his girlfriend Mal, but to no avail.
After a full year of four teens from the Isle of the Lost attending Auradon Prep, the school year was coming to a close. No other villains' children had been brought over for their test run since this first batch – partially because the magical barrier needed repairs, partially because the first group had a plan all along, despite abandoning it at the end – which didn't really bother anyone. They needed time to regroup and really get to know the first four now.
However, now that summer had officially arrived and the departure date was today, it really sunk in that they literally had nowhere to go. Evil Queen, Cruella De Vil, and Jafar would NOT be welcoming, and Maleficent…well, she was being kept in a small cage in the school.
Now Mal was shaking her head and playfully shoving Ben's arm away. "No, you have to go home. Your parents might like me now, but they probably don't want me to keep you from visiting." She grinned ruefully, secretly pleased he cared enough to stay.
He took a step closer, ignoring the invisible boundaries, and wrapped his arms around her. "I have a feeling they'd be pretty proud, Mal. They like you, you know." He tilted his head down a bit so his mouth was by her ear and whispered, "Besides. Audrey rubbed them the wrong way already."
She chuckled and smiled into his chest. "Yeah, she does that to everyone. Except Jay."
"Well I am the only one who can pull off this level of sexy," Jay's voice came wafting in from behind Mal. Ben released her enough so she could see both him and the two boys she'd known her entire life coming into view.
"Yes, cuz that is totally what we were discussing," she dismissed sarcastically, leaving Ben's warm embrace entirely. She turned to face her friends and crossed her arms, trying to get a good look at them. "Why are you wearing your tourney jersey?" she questioned, arching an eyebrow at the long-haired boy.
Jay whipped his hair back and lifted up his jersey's fabric to show it off. "Audrey likes the way I look in this, so I wore it before she left." His smirk told them all that he wasn't one bit embarrassed that his girlfriend only liked him in one specific article of clothing.
Carlos lifted up Dude as a makeshift barrier between him and Jay, making kissy faces.
Jay smacked Carlos' hand down as Ben let out a laugh. Mal smiled and moved from side to side, attempting to see around the two. "Where's Evie?"
"Uh, I think she's with Doug," Carlos spoke up, cradling Dude in his arms. The sight was still slightly bizarre, but not as strange as his mother's fur coats; not in the least.
"Speaking of…" Jay pointed behind Ben and Mal where the Doug and Evie were making their way towards the group, fingers interlaced.
Ben turned around to look at the couple and Mal took a step closer. "You ready to go, Doug?" he asked, trying to keep his eyes trained on the son of Dopey. Doug was staying at his castle for the summer holiday. Ben had asked his parents if the teens from the Island could stay as well, but even though Mal was alright in their eyes, having all of them took the ease away. Belle had been very gentle answering her son, but he was still a bit pissed.
Doug nodded, glancing back at his girlfriend. "Yeah, I'm good." He and Evie hugged for a few seconds, and then the two Auradon boys headed for the limo, Ben waving back at Mal.
Evie joined the group, sighing exaggeratedly. "I'm really going to miss him."
Mal patted her back, leaning into her shoulder as the limo drove away. "You'll see him again in a few months."
She took a deep breath and bobbed her head once. "Yeah." Then she turned to her best friend. "Are you and Ben alright? I didn't see you say goodbye."
Mal's eyebrows twitched upward before she smiled. "We already said our goodbyes. And am I right to assume you got some action, like Jay did?"
Carlos took a step away from the mentioned boy, holding Dude out of harm's way, but Jay was just standing there puffing his chest out, a proud smirk on his face.
Evie shook her head, a smile riding on her lips. "Uh-uh, I don't kiss and tell." Then she sighed again and clasped her hands together. "But yes."
Carlos looked a bit awkward. "So much for not telling," he joked.
"Apparently Jay did, though," Evie pointed out, turning to set her gaze on Jafar's son.
Jay grinned, slapping his hands together. "Well if you get some, why not share it with people who don't?" He made a silent jab at Carlos by pulling the guy in for a noogie. Dude sprang from Carlos' grasp and ran back to their dormitory.
"Ah, but at least Evie got kissed because Doug likes her; not because of what she was wearing," Mal added, hands on her hips.
Evie tilted her head and held out a hand in the 'stop' motion. "Wait. Audrey only kissed you because of your outfit?"
Jay released Carlos, to which he tried to smooth out his hair. "No," he barked, tugging at his jersey. "She just thinks I look good in this."
"Sounds kind of strange to me," Mal said in a singsong voice, averting her eyes to look up at the clouds.
"I look great in everything anyway," Jay insisted, showing off his arrogance. "Besides. I'm not going to think about that this summer. I will be being as rough as I want all vacation." He flexed an arm, grinning. "Gotta keep these guys intact."
Mal rolled her eyes. "Of course. Wouldn't want to build muscle or anything."
Carlos snickered, but that proved to be a very poor decision. Turning away from the group and running the same speed he did when he first met Dude, but subbing in Jay, the holiday had officially begun.
I tried my best to keep everyone very in-character, but ya know what, this is a STORY. If they tend to get a bit OOC, who cares? With this plotline, some people really need to develop anyway!
Question of the Chapter (QOTC): What's your favorite song off the album?
