AN: HI, guys and girls here's another story that been in my head for many years. A few things have stopped me from moving forward with it. The main one being my lack of laptop, there is also the fact that I've thought this story though so many times with so many different starting points it has made it difficult for me to figure out which one to use but now I believe I have cracked it so I hope you enjoy.

Lander over and out
Chapter one
"Doug, get ready, here they come!" prince Ben shouted as a large and impressive looking car rolled up to school.
"Ok guys let's do this, 1, 2, 3" the band leader called to his fellow band members, leading them as they started to play the welcome song they had prepared.
So, this is it, the new kids are here, this school's not going to know what's hit them Doug thought to himself.
Flashback
Doug had always liked going to the royal dorms as they were more like apartments than actual dorm rooms, guess that makes Prince Bens was the penthouse Doug smiled at his own thoughts as he knocked on the massive door to his friend's room and waited to be let in.
"Hello young master Doug, what can I do for you today?" the butler ask as he stepped aside to let the young man pass.
"Thanks, Lumiere is Ben around? I have some things to give him" Doug asked as he walked in.
"Yes, he's here but he is in with parents at the moment" the forma candle stick replied "he's just-"
"WHAT!" King Adams roar could clearly be heard from a room at the furthest end of the hall.
"Telling his parents all about the kids are he wants to bring over from the Isle of the lost" Lumiere finished with a sigh.
"Well I could wait for him to finish" Doug said "or I could go in and help my friend" he added with a smile. Taking a deep breath to steady his nerves the dwarf's son strode down the hall and knocked on the door as bravely as he could. The wait for permission to enter seemed to last forever, when it finally came, he almost wished it hadn't.
"Hello, Your Majesties" he said brightly, dipping into a deep bow before moving to Bens side.
"I have the dorm keys you asked for Ben" Doug held four sets of keys out to the young prince, with a proud smile on his face. "The rooms are set up and ready to go but fairy god mother needs a little more time to work on the class schedules. She said something about adding a new class" he explained.
"Thanks for doing this Doug" Ben said taking the keys from his friends out stretched hand.
"No worries, I was glad to help, I'll get the class schedules on the day they arrive".
"Doug you knew about this?" the King enquired.
"Yes, King Adam I did".
"And you are okay with it? You you know who he is bringing over, don't you?" The Beast King blustered.
"Yes, I know who is coming" the young man confirmed "Why wouldn't I be OK with the plan" he asked in a slightly surprised tone.
"So, you don't mind going to class with the daughter of the Evil Queen?" The King practically screamed at him.
"Honey you need to calm down" Queen Belle intercede gently "I'm sorry Doug" she apologised for her husband as she placed herself between him and the young man that seemed to be bearing the brunt of his anger.
"It's alright Your Majesty, there is nothing for you to be sorry for" Doug assured her with a smile.
"No but there is plenty for me to apologise for" the King admitted quietly, there were times his temper still ruled him and this it seemed had been one of them. "I'm sorry Doug" he said regretfully, "It's just when I think about what their parents did to so many of the people in this world, my people, the thought of having their kids here". The king was trying to explain himself calmly, but he could feel his rage beginning to rise again.
"If I may Your Majesty" Doug cut in before the King could lose the clearly tenuis hold he had on his temper, "you are judging them based on who their parents are. You believe they will be just like them but if that's the case why is Ben not a Beast and why am I not mute?" he asks earning himself a chuckle from Ben and Belle and even a slight smile from Adam.
"Yes, I guess your right" the King admitted finally letting a wide smile to spread across his face.
"Well then with my work here is done, I guess I'll be on my way" Doug said brightly, he bowed once again before making his way to the door, he only paused a moment to exchange a fist bump with both Ben and Lumiere on his way out.
End flashback
The kids from the Isle certainly knew how to make an interesting entrance, Doug was pulled from his day dream when the door to the limo opened and two boys literally fell out of it as they fought over a blanket.
"Why do you want it?" the first boy demanded, he had white hair and was wearing a pair of shorts. "You have everything else" he seemed to be trying to reason with the other, much taller boy.
"Villain kids" one of the band members gasped in shock and Doug had to swallow down a laugh at the look of terror that crossed his face. Ben had been very careful about who he told what to but now the time for secrecy was over.
"Doug did you know?" another of the boys in the band asked aghast.
"Yes, I did" he confirmed, he tried very hard not to sound smug, but he wasn't sure if he succeeded.
"Why didn't you tell us?" the first boy asked in a hushed whisper, he had gone as white as the villain boy's hair.
"Simple, I wasn't allowed to. Ben trusted me not to tell anyone and if I had what would you have done? Tell everyone in the school or not have showed up today?" Doug asked coolly, as badly as he wanted to be wrong, he knew he wasn't. As much as he liked his band mates, he had to admit that they weren't the bravest bunch. One look at the guilty expression that each of them wore told him he had done the right thing.
"That's what I thought" he sighed unable to hide his disappointment "just give them a chance for me and Ben, please" he asked. Doug was a little bit surprised when each and every band member gave a silent nod of agreement.
"Ok good" Doug said quickly overcoming his shock "now, with everything that going on today band practice is cancelled, so, go chill out, classes start tomorrow" he told his friends. He packed up his trumpet and headed into the main dorm to pick up the class schedules he had promised Ben.
Doug had always been good at being organised that was part of the reason prince Ben had asked for his help with the Isle Kids project, he was always on time, always had at least two contingency plans and never lost anything, until today of course. Of all the days for him to misplace something for the first time ever, why did have to be today? And why did it have to lose something as important as the new kids class schedules "I thought I left them here" the fluster young man sighed as he frantically searched the table where he knew he had put the four bits of paper not too long ago.
"Are you looking for these Doug" a sweet voice called from above him making Doug jump. He looked up, relieved to see a familiar girl in a blue dress holding the class schedules.
"Yes" Doug practically cheered as he bounded up the stairs, "thanks so much Jane, I thought I had left then down there" he said pointing to the small table that he had almost dismantled in his search for the lost schedules
"You did" Jane reassured him "but my Mum needed to make a few last-minute changes to them" she explained.
"Really they looked fine to me" Doug asked genuinely puzzled as he took them back and had a quick look though them.
"They were" the young woman agreed quietly "but according to my Mum they were done in the wrong font, so she wanted me to do them again" she sighed.
"Oh ok, so you had to redo them because of the wrong font?" Doug clarified looking a bit shocked.
"Yes, you know my Mum ever the perfectionist" she said as they both laughed.
"Well I'll see you later, I have a few things to get done for my Mum before school start tomorrow" Jane said she gave Doug one last timid smile and a small wave as she walked away.
"Yeah, later Jane" Doug called after the quickly departing girl, he would usually have offered to help her with the tasks her Mother had set her, but he had to find Ben and deliver the Isle kids schedules before he did anything else. Luckily for him the Prince walked in with the kids from the Isle at that very moment.
"Guys this is Doug" Ben introduced him as he came down the stairs. "If you need anything-" Doug Knew his best friend wanted to offer to help the new arrivals in any way that he could but Princess Audrey (otherwise known as the biggest brat in Auradon) wasn't having that, no sir.
"Ask Doug" she cut across her boyfriend and drowned out whatever he had intended to say next in a sickly sweet and very obviously fake tone. She then dragged the young Prince away, effectively putting an end to the conversation.
"Uh Hi guys" Doug greeted them, he couldn't help feeling a little awkward after the stunt Audrey had just pulled but he powered on none the less "I'm Doug, I'm son of Dopey as in Happy, Sleepy, Grumpy-" Doug had every intention of listing off all of his uncles, just like he did every time he met someone new but he was suddenly stopped in his tracks by the sight of the most beautiful girl he had ever seen.
"High ho" he sighed in shock, he couldn't help but stair at the beauty with blue hair that stood in front of him, she smirked slightly as she slowly sauntered towards him and offered him her hand.
"Evie Royal, the evil queen daughter" the young woman introduced herself huskily, all Doug could do was nod dumbly as his heart raced in his chest. "This is Mal, Jay and Carlos" she said, she pointed to each of her friends in turn but in all honesty Doug found it hard to pull his eyes away from her to acknowledge the others.
"So, what's that you got there?" Mal the obvious leader of the group asked pointing at the papers in Doug's hand, her question broke him out of his trance.
"Oh" he stuttered "there class schedules so you know what classes to go to starting tomorrow" he explained.
"Really? What classes?" Jay asked, he was both very tall and very strong Doug could see why he had won the battel over the blanket. He crossed his muscular arms over his broad chest and gave Doug a stern look.
Doug had to swallow a nervous chuckle before he answered. This guy was clearly the protector of the group, he could have intimidated the bravest knights in the land without even trying but Doug got the distinct impression that right now he had every intention of scaring him, probably because he had just been ogling at the guys friend. Doug had to admit he might deserve the hard look Jay was giving him, his cousins would probably have done worse than glare at him if they had caught him.
"Well" Doug squeaked and cleared his throat before continuing. "You have all your normal classes like chemistry, various math classes and languages, then you have your classes that are more aimed at Auradon like the history of huntsmen" he explained.
"What about that class there?" Mal asked her purple hair swayed into Doug's face as she leant over his shoulder so she could to point to schedule that he still held in his hand. There was only class on there that was circled in bright red ink "Is it new this semester?" She asked with a cheeky grin popping a sweet into her mouth.
"Yes goodness 101, the Fairy God Mother will be taking that class herself" he answered passing a piece of paper to each of the kids, he was feeling awkward all over again, both he and Ben had felt that Goodness 101 was a bit of an on the nose name for the class, Ben had suggested adapting to Auradon instead but Fairy God Mother had not budged and the name had stuck.
"Come on guy's let's find our rooms" Mal ordered dropping the rapper from her sweet onto the floor as she ran up the stairs, for a moment Doug marvelled at how quickly the rest of the group fell in behind her but then he realised they were going totally the wrong way.
"Oh, your rooms are that way" he yelled after them, pointing to the other set of stairs that would lead them to their dorms, each of the new arrivals gave him a look as they passed him, Carlos the youngest was clearly thankful but the rest Doug couldn't read.
For just a moment Doug was left alone in the silent hall but soon the quiet was disturbed by a very familiar laugh "wow if we weren't related to the seven dwarfs she might have been insulted about that high ho comment" chuckled a red head girl as she wandered in with a smile.
"Grace, what can I do for you?" Doug asked turning to face her and choosing to ignore her comment.
"Well, since you ask Cuz, I need help with my chemistry homework" she said with a wide grin.
"How much of it did you actually do over the summer break?" Doug asked somewhat dreading her answer.
"None it" she admitted her smile turning sheepish.
"So, let me get this straight, you want me to help you get a whole summers worth of homework done in one night?" Doug asked with an exasperated sigh.
"Yes" Grace agreed brightly "You help me and I won't tell any of the other cousins about the high ho comment" she promised.
"Fine" Doug huffed knowing that the others would never let him live that slip of the tongue down if they found out, there was no price too high for Grace's silence. "Meet me in my dorm room at 7" he agreed quickly.
"Thanks" Grace was grinning again "and then maybe we can talk about you singing for my band" she said patting his shoulder as she strolled by.
"That's not happening" Doug called after his favourite cousin.
Grace froze on the stairs and turned to look down at the boy below her "Oh, come on Doug I have an audition at the club on campus in few days I need a singer and they liked your voice on the tracks that they heard" she pleaded with him.
"Wait what tracks?" he asked following her up the stairs.
"The ones we recorded before summer break" she said with a sneaky little smile.
Doug was confused "But I didn't record any tracks" he said "I sang a few of your song for you to see what they sounded like, wait did you record them?" he accused finally realising what must have happened.
"Maybe" Grace admitted with no trace of shame, Doug just shook his head and walked away leaving her stood on the stairs.
"So, will you sing?" she shouted after him.
"Nope" Doug called back over his shoulder "and you're lucky I'm still going to help you study tonight" he added as he rounded the corner.
Doug enter his dorm room to see his roommate still sleeping. It's 2 in the afternoon, how does he manage to sleep so late Doug wondered to himself, a childhood full of early mornings had pretty much destroyed any chance Doug or any of the other cousin's had of not being morning people but not Stevie, he could quite happily sleep the day away. Apparently, that was the perk of being Sleepy's son.
Doug grabbed a change of cloths and headed to the bath room to change out of his band uniform. Doug was proud to represent his school, but he was always glad to get out of his ridiculously uncomfortable band outfit and back into his casual clothes. As he slipped into his jeans, short sleeved shirt and his blue wool vest he couldn't help but wonder if he would have been easier for him to meet Evie if he had been dressed in his own cloths the first time they met instead of in his uniform. While he was in the bathroom Doug made a point of banging every cupboard that he could in hopes of rousing his roommate, it didn't work but he wasn't surprised.
"Are you going to get up at any point today Stevie?" Doug finally asked.
"Why? It's the last day before school I won't be able to do this again" Stevie remarked rolling over in his bed
"Really? So, your not going to do this next Saturday" Asked Doug with a role of his eye's.
"If your going to wake me up you better get me some lunch" Stevie complained sticking his head under the pillow.
"Well, I am heading to the cafeteria" Doug said earning grunt from Stevie as he headed out the door That boy is way too much like his Dad he thought as he made his way down to the dorm entrance.
The cafeteria wasn't that far away from the dorm it was a nice walk through the park, and it gave Doug time to think about his first comment to the beautiful blue hair girl that he couldn't get out of his mind. Not the best first impression he admitted to himself but oh well, there was nothing he could do about it now. He would just have to act cool the next time he saw her he decided as he arrived at the cafeteria.
"Hay band Geek" Doug sighed, really could no one at this school come up with a better insult than that, band Geek was getting old after all these years. He turned to see who was calling him this time coming face to chest with tall teen in a letterman jacket.
"Did you know those villain kids were coming here?" the Jock demanded.
"Yes, Chad I knew" Doug sighed "I helped set it all up" he said slowly as if talking to a small child, by now most of the school knew that Doug was Ben's right had man but somehow Chad Charming had himself convinced that it was him the soon to be king relied on.
"Why would you do that?" Chad sounded genuinely shocked.
"My friend asked me for help what was I meant to say Chad?" Doug continued in the same tone.
"You should have said no, you should have told him to leave them where they belong" Chad practically spat at the smaller boy giving him a hard shove for good measure. Doug's hand flew up to cover his now sore shoulder while Chad and his jock friends just laughed. Doug wanted to tell Chad to back off, he really did but he was a son of a dwarf and he was all alone while Chad was a prince surrounded by his supporters.
He was thankful that Prince Not So Charming didn't seem to have anything else he wanted to say, the whole group Jocks just wandered away acting as if the whole interaction with Doug had never happened. Doug looked around him but none of the other teens in the room appeared to be paying any attention, apparently, they were going to follow Chads lead ignore it too.
Doug couldn't help but wonder what was going to happen the first time Chad tried to pull that act on one of the Isle Kids. He was sure that the prince of Jocks would try it sooner or later and he was just as sure he would end up paying for it one way or another.
Things are about to get interesting around here Doug thought to himself as he stood still holding his hurt shoulder. Change was coming for them all and Doug couldn't help but think that was a good thing.
And that is it my first chapter of this story hope you all enjoyed it, thing's are going to be different in this story than the movie so hope you like what I change.
