Just a heads up I have close to no idea about swimsuits so I searched some on the Inter-webs. I wanted the girls to each have on a different one, so you may need to look up their style if you don't know.

Also: In a section of this chapter I borrowed something from the TV show 'Liv and Maddie'. Find out what it is and specify scene the within one hour of this chapter being posted, I'll add a (1) chapter next week. If you give the correct name and number of the episode as well in that same time frame, I'll add a (1) chapter on Sunday.

Anyways, here is the new chapter!

The seven Isle children didn't know what to expect with the surprise swimming trip. They didn't even know how to dress for the event. Luckily, Lonnie had picked out the clothes for the girls while Evie had to quickly make something for the boys.

Mal had on a purple tankini underneath a black tank top and jean short shorts. Evie had on royal blue one-piece under a white cotton cover-up dress. Uma had on a teal underwire bikini top with hipster bottoms under one of Harry's tank tops and jean short shorts. As for the boys, their swimming trunks were basically their Isle pants turned into shorts. However, Evie didn't want to ruin Gil's clothing, so Ben loaned him one of his plain pairs.

Anyways, they were even more surprised when Ben pulled up to the front of the school in a massive two-door pickup and when Lonnie strolled out of the school with a ginormous pile of towels and blankets.

"You'll be glad I brought them," Lonnie insisted once she saw the looks. She carefully tossed the pile in the back of the truck before explaining, "Every time we've went swimming in the past, we always run out within the first hour or not have enough for everyone."

As the group came closer to the truck, they noticed a couple ice coolers in the back. "How long are we staying?" Gil wondered curiously.

"Well past dark." Ben guesstimated, who was leaning out of the window to speak with them properly. "I already talked with Fairy Godmother. We have permission to stay out pass curfew."

"So, what exactly are we doing?" Evie interrogated as she shuffled uncomfortably back and forth on her feet. Although her swimsuit and outfit were the least revealing, she still felt somewhat exposed.

"After teaching you how to swim, we're going to show you what it's like to have an Auradon bonfire." Lonnie placed one foot on top of the tire, heaved herself up, and swung her leg over so she was now inside the bed of the truck. "Hop in!"

The boys decided to try to mimic her while the girls took the easier way by climbing over the tailgate. It took the boys a couple tries before they could get in. Carlos fell on his first attempt. Harry had laughed at him, but he ended up falling next.

"Don't sit on the edge," Lonnie instructed as she settled herself on top of the pile of blankets and towels. "We're going to be driving on the highway for a while. If Ben were to hit something, it's likely you would fall on impact. When we get closer, maybe five minutes away, you can sit on the edge. If you do, make sure you're holding on tight. Don't sit on or near the tail-gate while it's up. It's possible that it will suddenly fall and you would fall with it."

"You Auradon people sure have a lot of rules," Uma complained as she followed said rules, conveniently finding a seat next to Harry.

"The rules are made to keep you safe." Ben chided from the driver's seat. "I have a scar on my head from when I had fallen from a tailgate opening when I was seven. I also have a scar on my leg from that same trip because I tried to climb in the bed improperly."

"All these rules were created because you were accident prone as a child?" Mal cracked a smile at the thought. "Now I know what stories to ask your parents for."

The ride to the beach was fairly pleasant, but also fairly quiet. The VKs didn't know what to say to Lonnie in fear of offending her or making her suspicious. However, they knew by the end of the trip, someone would have to tell her the truth.

They don't want to deceive one of their only Auradon friends.

The part of the ocean they went to was about a twenty-minute drive from the school. It was sort of secluded for it being so out in the open. There was a massive firepit surrounded by five logs that could be used for seats. There was also a swimming dock for those who wanted to jump in instead of wade.

The moment he parked the truck, Ben busted out of the front seat while Lonnie skillfully jumped out of the back. The two raced each other to the dock, not caring that they were still fully clothed, and jumped into the ocean. Ben bobbed out of the water first with a bright smile while Lonnie emerged a second later with a scowl.

"Sorry about that." He apologized insincerely once the two made their way to the seven that stood by the fire pit. While removing his soaked T-shirt and placing it on one of the logs, he claimed, "Every time we have a bonfire, Lonnie and I have a bet."

"Last one to jump in has to gather the wood," she further explained grumpily. She stripped off her tank-top and shorts to reveal a halter bikini top and high waisted bottoms with floral design-which would match her future R.O.A.R. jumpsuit. Lonnie ringed out the damp clothing, complaining, "It's a pain because you have to walk quite a while to find any."

"I can help you," Jay suggested a little too quickly. The boys would probably tease him later about him being helpful only because he wanted to ogle her. "It would probably be easier and quicker that way."

Lonnie perked up once hearing the offer and smiled larger than Ben's. "Alright," she agreed giddily, "I'll take you up on that."

"What's the plan?" Mal interrogated as she purposely interrupted the flirting. "How are you going to teach us?"

"Actually," the daughter of Mulan began bashfully, "Ben and I learned by jumping off the dock a few times. We thought that same way would work."

"We'll be in the water when you jump," the 'prince' reassured. "If you struggle at all, we'll help. It's unlikely you'll need us, but better safe than sorry."

Although they were reluctant at first, the four 'newbies' got the hang of it the first couple jumps. Evie didn't like getting her hair wet when she spent an hour on it that morning, but she thought better than to say anything since the two Auradon kids were trying to do something nice for them.

Within an hour, the nine had separated into three different groups. Ben, Gil, Mal, Evie, and Carlos decided to have a sand-castle building competition. Carlos and Ben were paired together as was Mal and Evie. Although Gil was on his own, his castle seemed to be the best at the moment. It certainly had the most detail.

Harry and Uma were walking along the shore-line with their feet ankle deep in the water. They were simply talking with one another. Every now and then, Harry would stop to pick up a sea-shell for Uma. The shell would end up in Harry's pocket after he would make a mushy comment to make his 'Uma Darling' blush.

Meanwhile, Jay and Lonnie were on the hint for the firewood. After about ten minutes of silence and finding no wood, Lonnie decided to strike up a conversation. "So, about the deal we made. . ."

"What about it?"

"You know how you said if you scored the winning goal, I had to go on a date with you?" She reminded calmly.

Jay's heart skipped a few beats, but he kept his composure when he said, "I remember. I didn't make the winning goal, so you got off the hook."

"But. . ."

"But what?"

"But we actually never really covered what happens if you didn't make the goal," She informed carefully and cautiously.

Jay stopped in his path-as did she, and couldn't help the confusion that crossed his face. "Okay, name your prize."

Lonnie smiled at his cluelessness, revealing with a shrug, "I think I want you to go out with me."

He looked completely shocked and was about to speak, but she rambled on, "Since it's going to busy the next couple days with last minute preparations and Family Day, we can start with you being my date on Sunday for the Coronation. You'll be close to the front row with me and the other royals. That view will be perfect in case something was to happen; like, oh-I don't know, a certain daughter of the headmistress taking her mother's wand during the ceremony."

Jay stared at her for a short period of time while she was smiling like a hyperactive child. "You," he began skeptically, "remember?"

If possible, her smile grew even wider. With her voice barely above a whisper due to excitement, Lonnie revealed, "I never forgot."

Jay smiled just as brightly as her and embraced her in a tight hug that lifted her off the ground, causing Lonnie to laugh happily. "Jay! Put me down!"

Instead of doing what she asked, he did something he thought was better.

He kissed her.

Of course, Lonnie had to ruin the moment when she pulled away after a few short seconds. With a raised eyebrow and a smirk, she stated, "After six months, then going back in time to six months, and another week you finally kiss me? Don't you think that's a little too long for me to wait?"

"That's why I was given a second chance," Jay insisted knowingly. "A second chance to make you mine before it's too late."

Lonnie apparently liked that answer because she leaned her head down to kiss Jay again.

About twenty minutes later, the two came walking back to the fire-pit with an arm full each of wood. The five that were making the sand castles were sitting on the log seats around the fire-pit. Ben and Mal shared a log as did Carlos and Evie, leaving Gil by himself once again. The other couple was still walking along the shorelines

Lonnie and Jay carelessly tossed the pile in the pit so Ben tried to set them aflame. After a couple attempts, they had a nice bonfire warming them up. The 'AKs' had brought utensils and food for hot dogs and smores so they instructed the VKs on how to roast a hot dog without getting burned. They would make the smores later when it got a little darker out.

While they were making their food, Lonnie-who was sitting next to Jay-asked, "So what are all of you wearing to the Coronation?"

"I'm making our dresses and suits," Evie stated, not really answering the question, before correcting herself, "Actually, I'm not making Gil's."

"Why not?"

"The one who is making mine is making his," Ben informed with a smile and a shrug. "I thought Evie would be over-loaded with having to make seven outfits so I offered to have my family seamstress do Gil's."

"I'm liking mine more and more each time I try it on," Gil claimed as he tried to put in his opinion. He pulled his hot dog out of the fire and took a huge bite out of it. Between bites, he described his suit, "It's basically going to be the same as Ben's except mine is going to be brown since it's my favorite color."

"Evie's going to the extremes with my dress." Mal joked as she blew out her flame on her hot dog. "The train's like ten feet long. There's no way it'll fit in the carriage."

The conversation paused momentarily so everyone could eat their food. Lonnie waited until everyone was finished with their food before she asked Mal, "What color is your dress?"

"I think it's lilac," she guessed the specific name. "It's a very faint light purple color."

"I figured you'd want a dark purple dress with dark pink and black," Lonnie assumed with a laugh in her tone. "You know, like the dress you wore for Cotillion when you turned human again after transforming into a dragon. That dress was beautiful. I couldn't believe Ben could design a dress like that."

It took the five a few moments to let what she said process in their minds. Once they finally realized what she said, Jay intervened, "Before you ask any questions, no she doesn't remember-"

"Because I never forgot," she finished with a smile. "I've been in this time for over a month now, waiting for you to show up."

Ben, who was completely awestruck, interrogated, "Then why didn't you say anything when I tried making you remember?"

"I didn't want to mess with anything," Lonnie persisted. "Originally I didn't introduce myself to the girls until after school on their second day. I was afraid that if I were to do something different, things would have changed for future events."

"Things have changed," Jay insisted with a smile as he purposely made a show of holding her hand. "We're boyfriend and girlfriend now."

"Oh!" She exclaimed with a sheepish smile. "That's right! How could I forget something like that?"

The only response she got was a sweet kiss from her new boyfriend and an awe/applause from her friends. The lip locking session was interrupted when they heard laughter from the shoreline.

The seven turned to see Harry twirling Uma around while she was laughing uncontrollably. He eventually put her down, but he kept his arms wrapped around her waist while she had her arms around his neck. With the sun setting, the first mate leaned down to kiss his captain-

Which made a beautiful picture taken by none other than Lonnie.

When the sun had set completely, all nine of them roasted marshmallows for smores, which Gil thought was slightly too sweet for his liking. He only ate his first one while the rest of the group ate two or three.

After everyone finished their 'dessert', Lonnie brought a game she and Ben had planned from the truck. She returned a few seconds later with a bottom of a shoe box filled with ripped pieces of paper. The game they were going play was called 'Finish the Lyric'. The box would be passed around the circle, each person would have to pull a paper out, and finish the lyric that was on the paper. There is no real winner or loser with this game. Luckily for the VKs, they had radios on the Isle that transmitted Auradon songs, so the game shouldn't be too hard for them.

Mal volunteered to go first. She practically squealed when she read the lyric that she knew all too well. "Oh, I've been shaking, I love it when you go crazy, you take all my inhibitions," she sang, finishing with a smile, "Baby, there's nothing holding me back!"

She passed the box over to Ben. He shuffled the paper around and pulled out the lucky one. "You must think that I'm stupid," he began his selection in the same tone as the original singer. "You must think that I'm a fool. You must think that I'm new to this, but I have seen this all before."

Ben handed the box to the person on his right, which happened to be Carlos. He held the box in one hand as he gingerly picked from the top, not bothering to mix it. He sighed once he read his paper. He only knew this song because of the girls. "Say, boy, let's not talk too much, grab on my waist and put that body on me. Come on now, follow my lead. Come, come on now follow my lead mmhmhmm."

Carlos tossed the box to Evie. She dug around the box for a few moments until she was satisfied with her choice. "Quiero respirar tu cuello despacito. Deja que te diga cosas al oído. Para que te acuerdes si no estás conmigo." Evie sang with the perfect Spanish accent.

"And that means. . .?"

"I want to breathe your neck in slowly," the princess translated with no hesitance. "Let me whisper things into your ear. So that you remember if we're not together."

She gave the box to Jay, who picked one in the far corner. He shook his head in disbelief. "How ironic, we got the same singer." He cleared his throat before he sang, "It's not that I'm afraid I'm not enough for her. It's not that I can't find the words to say. But when she's with him, she seems happier. And I don't want to take that away."

He pecked his girl on the cheek as he set the box on her lap. Lonnie dug around the box about the same amount of time as Evie before she found herself with an average size strip of paper. "You make me feel like I'm living a teenage dream the way you turn me on. I can't sleep, let's run away and don't ever look back, don't ever look back."

Gil was next in line and he sang his lyric the best he could-considering the real singer was a female. "Her name is Noelle. I had a dream about her. She rings my bell. I got gym class in half an hour. Oh, how she rocks, in duh duh tube socks."

Harry was given the box next and he was surprised that he recognized the lyrics. "Don't give in," he began the catchy and often hard to understand song. "Don't you dare quit so easy. Give all that you got on the soul. Don't say that you want it forever. I know, I know."

The last one to play was Uma, leaving only one paper in the box for her. She glanced at the paper for a second, before she had her arms stretched out as she belted out-with the paper crumpling in her hand, "I want your love and I want your revenge, you and me could write a bad romance!"

The group applaud Uma on her performance, but Lonnie recognized her voice from somewhere.

"You probably heard my sister sing," Uma insisted with a shrug. "She has dreams of being a professional jazz singer. A few weeks after the Coronation, she's supposed to fill in for one of the Auradonnas because they supposedly got a slime disease, which doesn't really exist."

"Freddie is your sister?" Lonnie figured out, but tried to confirm.

The daughter of Ursula nodded as she laid her head on Harry's shoulder. "We're half-sisters," she explained as though she's done so many times before. "Same father, different mothers. We were supposed to be ten months apart in age, but I was born prematurely, making her my older sister of six months. It was a surprise that I lived."

"Do you guys not get along?"

"No!" Uma exclaimed in denial. "No, we get along so well that it's strange. I love her. Though, my mother doesn't like her or my father, so I'm not allowed to go on their side of the Isle unless I want to get punished. Every now and then Freddie will come to the restaurant to visit me. Without fail, Mother shows up right when Freddie is about to leave every time. And every time, Freddie runs out with a new gash on her back. I was so scared the last time it happened because I thought she wouldn't return and she hasn't."

"Freddie went to Auradon about a month after it happened," Mal reasoned as she tried to reassure her once-best friend. "And she's kept in touch with you with letters, right?"

"But I haven't seen her in over seven months," Uma argued. With a sigh, she dug her head deeper into Harry with a yawn. "That's the longest we've ever been apart from each other. If she had been at Cotillion, I would have stopped my actions if she said so. We all know it. The incident probably wouldn't have happened if she had returned to the Isle with all of you."

"Uma listens to her sister more than she does anyone else," Jay informed the confused AKs. "If Freddie told her to jump off a bridge, it's likely Uma would."

Uma threw a seashell-which she snuck out of Harry's pocket-at the infamous thief at the accusation. The subject was changed moments afterwards-

But Ben had already came up with a surprise for tomorrow.

Cliffhanger! Don't forget about the deal! The time is ticking!
