Jay, Evie, Mal, and Carlos sat in a loose circle in the middle of Mal's [enormous] living room, laughing and talking.
This was a common thing, really, for the four original Villain Kids to get together, often at Mal and Ben's place, and just chill, reminiscing about the "old times"- never their time on the Isle, but always, always starting their stories in Auradon.
"Hey, hey," Mal suddenly said, laughing, "remember when Ben sang that stupid song for me?"
Jay and Carlos burst into song, and Mal slapped them both on the shoulders.
"Hey! Right here!" Ben shouted from way down the hall.
This made all four VKs burst into laughter. Carlos was red in the face (and tears were forming), Mal was clutching at a stitch in her side, Evie rushed to the restroom, and Jay fell to the floor with a loud thud.
They all sighed and Mal looked off into the distance, eyes hazy with memory.
"Don't you ever wish... don't you ever wish for just one more adventure?" she asked suddenly.
Carlos shook his head. He would never, ever wish such a thing. Adventures usually meant a run-in with his mother, and now, it would be a little different. To have another adventure... that would also mean leaving the two people he loved the most in the world: Jane, his wife, and Caroline, their daughter.
Jay stood up, brushing off his pants, also shaking his head. "No way. Audrey and the kids would kill me, and, besides, professional Tourney needs me."
Evie re-entered the room, face still flushed.
"How about you, Evie?" Mal asked, "would you ever want another adventure?"
"No way! Doug and the kids need me..."
"Okay, everyone, let's say we didn't have families. THEN would you want another adventure?"
Everyone shook their heads vigorously.
"Wow. I am disappointed in all of you. We're from the Isle of the Lost! We have that sense of adventure built into us!"
"Not anymore, Mal," Jay whispered, patting her shoulder.
Little did the daughter of Maleficent know that another adventure was right around the corner for all of them.
