Chapter 24: Isle Misadventures (Reprised)
Purpledolpin05: Hey guys, so we're back with the story and in this one, it'll be a bit of a mashup of the Secret Order (how I label Tracy, Jones and their Auradon friends) are fitting in on the Isle and a bit of how Jay is dealing with his jealousy since he's obviously in love with Tracy but never admits it or takes her for granted until he's lost her (huh that sort of parallels to Mal/Ben with Uma) Back to review shout outs:
To alexc1209: Thanks for the review, yeah Lonnie is now on the Isle with her siblings since I would like to explore more on sibling relationship between Lonnie and her siblings (I mean I usually touch on Ben's relationship with his brothers while Tracy has only mentioned Lonnie a few times and they don't really interact together since Tracy is closer to Jones in terms of age and personality-wise) Hope you will like this chapter.
To PrettyReckless Laura: Thanks for the review, hope you will like this chapter.
To TheGreatGodzilla: Thanks for the review, yeah the Descendants timeline doesn't really make sense to reality but I guess that's what fiction or AU is about. Hhm since Carlos/Evie are cannon in this story, Doug is/will be dating Evie's older sister Dakota. Hhm well I divided the crossover with The Seven Heroes and Five Gallants from the current story because I have different ideas for both AUs (that and I am trying to follow the Descendants universe timeline, no matter how confusing it may be) Wow, Pang Yu sounds like a real jerk, but if that AU happened I think that Jay and the kids might show no mercy to Pang Yu for attempting to assault Lonnie and Tracy. (I do think maybe Pang Yu might not be interested in Tracy since she considers herself as plain while Lonnie is the beautiful one. And I cannot guarantee if Jones would be merciful since he is getting along with the pirate crew over world domination plans as we speak.) Hhm yeah I do suppose Tracy, Jones, Lonnie and Hayley spent more of their time in between China and Auradon Prep, they do enjoy Chinese cuisine (Tracy and Hayley do most of the cooking in campus and Tracy is trying to learn how to cook her hometown's dishes occasionally to make themselves feel more like home) Jones is a very interesting character since he prefers to be the one to stand out than fit in. Since I believe Auradon has somewhat friendly alliances with other countries so there could be some intercountry culture exchanges(-ish). Thanks for the idea suggestions though, I can take them into consideration. Hope you will like this chapter.
Purpledolpin05: Ok, Jay do the disclaimer please. AND STOP GROWLING! YOU'RE LIKE AN ANIMAL WITHOUT THE LEASH!
Jay: Ugh FINE! The authoress doesn't own Descendants or The Malaysian Dream's OCs, she just owns her OCs. I'm out!
Jones: Wow, I ain't seen anyone this cranky since Max and I accidentally ruined Chip's date with that one girl from his Home Ec. class!
Max: Oh I remember! She had a double-chin, right?
[Jones' P.O.V.]
So, Hayley and everyone else from the mainland are helping out with teaching the younger kids how to defend for themselves. Hayley was even making the kids a decent meal since the kids are so malnourished, and there was this sick little boy.
"So, wanna go and see Dizzy?" Mal invited Evie and Dakota.
"We're tagging." Max offered, as I grinned. Perfect! It'll be like the good old days when me and my bro would third-wheel on people!
"Fine, but don't blame us if you don't like Girl Talk." Dakota taunted.
"You mentioned this Dizzy is a hair stylist, right? Well, I wanna get a VK look." I stated. I've been sick of the cropped haircut or the same buzzcut dad gives me each year. I've been stuck with the same hairstyle since I was a baby, which made sense since Tracy likes to baby me.
"Sure." Mal chuckled.
"Do you think we have our Prank Kit?" I turned to Max.
"Don't you know me?! I always carry it with me!" Max grinned.
Back to the Warehouse…
Melanie smiled over at Brynn while she watched her best friend teach the younger girls how to apply eyeshadow. Brynn has always been a fan of makeovers.
"Hey Mel, what time is it?" Brynn asked her friend.
"Uh 10:30." Melanie answered.
"Oh no! I almost forgot that I have a date with Drew!" Brynn stood up.
"Who's Drew?" Robyn Dunbronch asked.
"I think you meant Drew 'Ultimate Scum-Bag' Tremaine." Zevon stated before Melanie gave him a thumb up. She never really liked Zevon (Melanie thinks he's a weird dork with mental issues; and Zevon thinks Melanie is a cold-hearted she-devil) but at least they both agreed that they hate Drew. (Drew used to 'date' Zevon's sister, Yzla. So double hate points for the Tremaine boy)
"He's my boyfriend! And we've been in a stable relationship for 10 months!" Brynn corrected, defending her boyfriend.
"You mean that Tremaine creep who likes to hang out at Sykes' Night Club?!" James looked disgusted. He has heard from some of the older kids at school that there was this man named Bill Sykes who runs a mafia (Yap deducted that Bill Sykes probably runs the other half syndicate since Sykes operates the adult slaves while The Coachman deals with the underage slaves) James has an older sister he has never really met, slaves weren't supposed to know who their biological family are but he's heard that he has a family who probably gave him away because they owed The Coachman money.
[Bill Sykes is from Oliver and Company, and he's the second closest thing to a human trafficking syndicate I could think of other than The Coachman from Pinocchio]
"Who could forget?!" Krystal gagged, every once in while the Coachman sends the children slaves to Sykes' Night Club to deliver drugs in exchange for his alcohol supply. She and a friend, Elite, were in charge of Nighttime Delivery Duty one time and they saw the Gaston Twins with Drew having fun drinking and flirting with the bargirls. One of the bargirls was one of the older girls who used to take care of Krystal when she was younger.
"D-Drew's a gentleman, he would never do that." Brynn hesitated.
"C'mon, let's go back to my place to find you something cool to wear for your date." Melanie nodded, following her friend. Melanie knew well enough that Drew's a playboy who likes to flirt with multiple girls, even if he was in a relationship. Maybe Drew was the one who influenced Antony? Either way, Drew was as screwed as his mother.
Hayley watched the two girls before she saw the string between them. (Hayley has the ability to see Miracle Strings and tell how one person feels for the other) Hayley saw a red string tied on Melanie and Brynn's ring fingers before she smiled to herself.
"What up, Dragon Girl?" Hunter asked his fiancé. "You're making your Matchmaker face again."
"Was it obvious?" Hayley asked as her fiancé nodded.
"Ok, I saw that there might be something more than just friends between Melanie and Brynn" Hayley tried to give a hint.
"You mean they're like Fiona Chandelles and Clora Cogsworth?" Hunter asked as Hayley nodded.
"Hey, is it me or is Jay looking grumpier than Uncle Cogsworth?" Calvin pointed out.
"Well, I think he's just jealous that for once the girl he has a crush on is hanging out with another guy." Robyn stated.
"Yeah, I noticed. He was really angry at Tracy's 'day out' with Gil." Lonnie nodded.
"How do YOU know so much about relationships?" Hunter asked his sister.
"It's what I do to make Calvin jealous back when he was being a flirt with the other princesses." Robyn stated.
"And you're such a flirt queen." Calvin replied.
"Aw, thank you." Robyn smirked.
"I'll go talk to him." Hayley offered.
"Me too." Lonnie nodded.
"I'll come too, for support." Hunter followed Hayley to where Jay was.
"Jay?" Lonnie touched Jay's shoulder. "Are you ok?"
"Yeah, sure. I'm fine. Better than ever." Jay replied, trying to sound smooth.
"Dude, you can tell us anything, you know that, right?" Hunter stated.
"I'm ok, I don't really care if Feisty goes out with other guys." Jay stated.
"I don't think so. I think you're jealous." Hayley pointed out, "but you just don't really want to admit or acknowledge how you really feel about her."
"Yeah, we all know about you and my sister have a thing going on." Lonnie nodded.
"I do not like Tracy in that way!" Jay denied.
"Please, we ALL know about your crushes on each other." Jamie stated.
"I do NOT have a crush on Tracy Li!"
"Yeah right. Even I can tell you two have something in common. And half the time on my visit to Auradon I was plotting and flirting with Kozi!" Zevon added, while he was helping out the kids making smoke bombs.
"Even I can tell you have a thang for her. It's just like how I feel about Ringo!" Dude nodded.
"Are we actually not going to acknowledge that Dude is possible into Ringo?" Calvin pointed out.
"Eh, I knew those two were gay from the start." Jade barked out. The younger kids were curious about the new dogs and decided to play with them.
"It's not like I care who she dates! Not with that feisty personality, or the way her eyes would light up when she smiles, or that quirky and adorable laugh she has, or how cute she looks whenever she yells at me, or how pretty she looks wearing my Tourney jersey. Ok I see your point." Jay stopped listing.
"Wait, why was she wearing your clothes?" Lonnie went Protective Sister mode. "WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY BABY SISTER?!"
"Sounds like you two had a fun night." Hunter joked. "Could you share me some details?"
"Not now, Hunter!" Hayley and Lonnie hissed over.
"Relax, nothing happened! It was that one time when Jones and Carlos went out for the 9th graders' camping trip and Jones took Tracy's key so she spent the night in my room. BUT I NEVER TOUCHED HER, I SWEAR!" Jay defended himself.
"I just don't like seeing her with other guys." Jay stated.
"Relax, I know what you're dealing with. Back when Hales used to be in love with Allie's older brother Alfred, I got jealous and tried to sabotage their date." Hunter nodded.
"That was YOU?!" Hayley barked at her boyfriend.
"Hey, but he ended up with a younger woman, didn't he?" Hunter defended. "In hindsight, it would have never worked out. He Sister-Zoned you."
"…You make a point." Hayley sighed.
"Aw, you really like her." Lonnie cooed.
"You should just tell her how you feel, maybe it could clear things up." Hayley advised.
"I know my sister, and she just needs some time to get her mind off things. If you want her happy, you would know what is best for her." Lonnie added.
"Ugh, you're right." Jay grumbled.
"Screw what she says, I say you fight until the end! You should never give up on someone, especially if she's worth it!" Hunter discouraged Lonnie's suggestion.
"You make a point too." Jay nodded.
"If she's happy with this guy, let her be." Lonnie stated.
"Excuse me?! You were the one who supported Jay's idea of asking out your sister!" Hunter scoffed.
"Hales! Tell this guy he's not making sense!" "Sweetheart, tell this girl here she should take responsibility of her actions on the highway of Jay/Tracy's romance!"
"Don't bring me into this mess!" Hayley groaned, "Jay, just think about whatever they just told you. And you'd probably make the best choice. Hopefully."
"Hayley, talk some senses into your man-child!"
"Hayley, talk some senses into that BFF of yours!"
Lonnie and Hunter started to argue with each other. So yeah, this is one of the many reasons why Hayley never wanted her best friend and her fiancé in the same place. Those two would argue like Jones and Tracy do. Half the time, whenever Hayley and Hunter go on double-dates with Lonnie and Aziz, it usually ends with Hayley and Aziz having to stop Lonnie and Hunter from arguing.
Meantime…
Brynn followed her friend back to Melanie's home when Melanie spotted an older boy their age making out with one of the bargirls inside Gaston's Tavern. Melanie could see that it was Drew hanging around a few bargirls and drinking beer.
"Hey Brynn, have you seen my new bracelet?" Melanie quickly tried to distract Brynn from the 'couple'.
"You've shown it to me three times since yesterday!" Brynn stated, before she figured out her friend was hiding something from her.
"Oh Drew, you're such a great kisser." The bargirl giggled.
"Did she just say Drew?" Brynn asked.
"No! She said…what rhymes with Drew…Brew, Crew, Shrew, Threw, Peru…" Melanie tried to distract her friend from finding out that Drew has been cheating. "MAROON…Five?"
"Wait, aren't you dating that dimwitted daughter of Shan Yu?" another bargirl with dark hair asked, before offering another glass of beer.
"Who cares about her? I just hang out with her to show her off to my friends as my trophy girl." Drew snickered.
"Let's just go." Melanie took Brynn by the hand as they walked back.
"Brynn, are you alright?" Melanie asked.
"I would usually say yes, but I'm not…" Brynn gave a sad smile.
"Let it out. It's just you and me…" Melanie looked away, offering Brynn a shoulder to cry on.
"I can't believe he cheated on you!" Melanie cursed under her breath.
"I trusted him…" Brynn cried out.
"Shh, it's alright. You have me, you have Brand, you'll be alright…" Melanie tried to make her friend feel better.
"Hey, is now a bad timing?" the shop door opened, as Jade (Jay's cousin) and Claudine Frollo stepped inside.
"Not now." Melanie warned, before hinting that Brynn is having a bad day., along with a nasty look that says 'We (I) were (was) having a moment!'
"MY TWIN SENSES TINGLED! WHAT HAPPENED?! I CAME AS SOON AS I GOT THE TWIN-INSTINCTS!" Brandon kicked the door open, he was even holding Baby Cloud (nickname for their baby brother), their 6 month old baby brother. [I think Cloud/Shan Yun would look like a baby from an account I follow on Instagram, keumbyel]
"Do you people even knock?!" Melanie frowned.
"It's nothing." Brynn lied.
"We saw Drew hanging around a bunch of bargirls at Gaston's Tavern." Melanie explained.
"Oh no, that's awful!" Claudine exclaimed. "How could he cheat on you?!"
"Eh, I always knew there was something off about that guy." Jade frowned. "But my money was on Drew being gay."
"He's straight!" Claudine stated.
"Jade, not now." Brandon shoved the baby to Jade. "Big brother's here. Let me at that son of a Tremaine!"
"Wow, very mature." Jade rolled her eyes. Eh, considering Jay and Brandon are close friends and act like brothers, naturally Jade thinks of Brandon and his sister as 'one of their family-friends'.
"Don't!" Brynn whimpered a bit, "you don't know what he does whenever he's angry."
"BRANDON! YOU LEFT US BY 10 BLOCKS AWAY!" Yi yelled, before she and her sister Eva walked pass the shop.
"You were supposed to walk us to The Tremaine's Curl Up and Dye!" Eva added.
"Eh, screw him. Let's just walk our way there." Yi shrugged.
"What happened?" Eva asked.
"Drew." Jade replied.
"Drew? As in Dizzy's oldest brother?" Yi wrinkled her nose in disgust. She never really liked Drew, considering Drew was a rude as his mother, and he once made fun of the twins and called them 'unsophisticated urchins', and he sometimes makes rude and offensive remarks that are either too racist or sexist.
"Let's just say Brynn saw Drew cheating on her." Claudine stated. "Why don't we walk you to Curl Up and Dye?"
"It's ok, we can get there ourselves." Eva declined the offer.
"Suit yourself. Hey, Claudine, let's go and teach this little baby how to make a smoke bomb!" Jade shrugged before turning to the pale blonde.
"No way! Remember what happened when you and Cydney Clayton 'accidentally' smoke bombed the whole school's AV room?!" Claudine frowned.
"What can I say? Cyd's a prodigy!" Jade smirked.
"She was doing just fine up until she became friends with you!" Claudine groaned.
"C'mon, we gotta tell Dizzy about last night!" Yi whispered over as Eva nodded before the two girls left to Dizzy's family hair salon.
[Tracy's P.O.V.]
So far, Gil's a really fun guy to talk to. You know, if we're not on the Isle with the Coachman on prowl or the fact Ben's held captive.
Gil showed us around the Isle, I think he kept in mind that there were young children present so he avoided the too dangerous side of the Isle. I think it's sweet that he takes people's feelings into consideration but a part of me wanted to see the real dark side of the Isle, although I am the person who likes to play safe.
"So…what's your favorite color?" Gil asked me.
"Blue!" "Pink!" Dewey and January answered.
"Purple." I replied with a giggle. "But I find all colors lovely in their own ways. Except vomit green. It makes me nauseous."
"What about you? What's your favorite color?" Dewey asked.
"Hhm, probably orange!" Gil smiled back. He's got a cute smile by the way.
"I think orange is a great color." I agreed. "My mom told me I used to love the color orange when I was a kid!"
"I feel like I can just talk to you easily." Gil told me, as I felt my heart skipping a beat.
"I bet you say that to all the girls." I laughed nervously, as I looked away, feeling a few strands of hair falling into my face. Ugh I am such a dork!
Wait, where is January?!
I looked around.
"Dewey, where is January?!" I panicked.
"HEY, WATCH IT, KID!" I heard a gruff man yelling.
"Gil, watch the kids. I'll be right back. if I am not back in 10 minutes, get Jones!" I turned to Gil before I ran over to the source of voices.
I saw an elder man who looked a bit similar to Jay frowning at January. It looks like January had stolen Jafar's vizier headwear.
"Do you even know who I am?" Jafar asked, trying to sound like he's the boss.
January just tilted her head slightly before she smiled cutely and exclaimed: "GRANDPA!"
"I am NOT your grandpa! At least I hope not." Jafar panicked a bit.
"Grandpa!" January started to hug Jafar by his knees. And then she started to sneak a few of the shiny stuff into her sweater.
JAY, WHAT IN THE ACTUAL LIVING FLORIDA HAVE YOU BEEN TEACHING OUR DAUGHTER!?
[That sounded wrong, SO WRONG! *blushing internally*]
"Must resist those eyes!" Jafar looked like he was softening up.
"Grandpa!" January squealed, before she hugged the older man. HE'S NOT YOUR GRANDPA! YOUR REAL GRANDPA WILL NOT BE PLEASED TO HEAR ABOUT THIS!
"Alright, I'll be your Grandpa!" Jafar nodded, "I can teach you to be the greatest thief of all! And perhaps you can steal a Genie Lamp for me someday."
"What about this?" January took out a ring.
"That's the Coachman's ring! He would kill to know where he lost it!" Jafar examined. "Wow, you are doing better at thievery than my son is already!"
"You mean Daddy?" January asked, before smiling, "He taught me the best!"
"Wait, my son is your father?" Jafar paused for a moment.
"WHOAH! HOLD IT RIGHT THERE!" I ran over. "January, I told you a million times! Don't steal in front of people!"
"But Daddy says it's ok!" January tried to play coy.
"I don't care what your daddy says, stealing is NOT the right thing to do!" I told her, "I am so sorry, my goddaughter is misbehaving!"
"Well, you raised her terribly!" Jafar stated, "but I would like my stuff back!"
"Have at it." I returned back whatever January had taken.
"You're not really her mother, are you?" Jafar frowned.
"DEFINITELY NOT!" I looked at January before I blushed red. Now even Jafar thinks January is my daughter. Do I look that old?!
And considering she calls me "Momma" sometimes, it makes it kinda disturbingly awkward and SO WRONG to be labelling Jay as January's "godfather/daddy", but surprisingly, her parents are PERFECTLY Okay with me and Jay being their godparents. AND WE'RE NOT EVEN MARRIED!
"Bye-Bye Grandpa!" January waved over.
"So, does that mean you'll visit every weekend?" Jafar asked, seemingly serious for a moment.
"Okie, can I bring Doyiee with me?" January nodded, charming people with her sweet looking dimples and innocent smile.
Welp, January I love you so much, but you just dug me a grave that even I can't get out of or Hellfire can save me from!
"Hey Trace," Gil waved over, before January and I sat down.
"So uh I have been meaning to ask you, are you and Jay a…couple or…?" Gil asked.
"Ohho, no! Jay and I are JUST friends." I denied, feeling disappointed a bit at the fact Jay is just and only 'a friend'. "And just so you know, the two siblings aren't really related to me or him by blood; though Jay is trying to get adoption papers to legally adopt them as his own, but her parents agreed for Jay to be their Godfather."
"That's good to know." Gil sighed in relief, before giving me a heartwarming but cheeky grin, "it really clears things up."
"Clear up how?" I asked.
"So now I can officially get to know you better." Gil replied. Whew, glad he doesn't have creepy thoughts!
"In what way?" I joked.
"We can start by becoming friends! Hi, I'm Gil!" Gil reached out a hand.
Gosh, this guy has got to be the most adorable precious cinnamon roll of the Isle ever! And why does he have to be so cute? God, what am I thinking?!
"Hello Gil, I'm Tracy." I smiled back, as we shook hands.
"Kids, we should get back now. I don't want to hear Daddy Jay yelling" I told the two kids.
"Aw, do we have to?! I wanna play with baby Jay-Jay!" January whined.
"Any ideas for this?" I turned to Gil.
"Hey kids, if you guys behave, I can try and see if I can take Jayden to you guys tonight." Gil hesitated a bit before coming up with a solution. "But I can't stay too long with the baby because I don't want any of my friends to find out."'
"You're not worried if Uma finds out?" I asked him.
"Oh, she will be angry when she does find out! But I want these kids happy, and if it gets me into trouble, it's still worth it." Gil gave me a toothy grin.
"You're…a really sweet and sensitive guy." I admitted, smiling over. He doesn't deserve to be living on the Isle. If anything, he would have passed off as a decent well-behaved Auradon Prep kid!
"Well, do you think you could put in a good word with King Ben? I've always wanted to go to Auradon, and I want to taste what this 'chocolate' stuff is! I have seen Auradon food on TV for years and I've never got to know what it is like." Gil asked.
"Sure. I will see what I can do." I nodded.
"By the way, I have another favor to ask you" Gil added.
"Ask away." I replied.
"Can I stay over and hear your bedtime stories?" Gil asked. "I sort of eavesdrop and heard about 3 chapters of the story you were reading last night."
"Sure, I'd love that. B-But I don't know what Mal and the rest would say about it." I hesitated a bit, "but I'll see what I can do!"
"Thanks! You're really easy to talk to!" Gil nodded.
"You're welcome." I nodded back, before both of us laughed.
"C'mon let's get back!" Dewey stated.
Right, I forgot that the Coachman would be on the prowl to look for the missing kids and donkeys. And chances are he might find out who did it. What do I do when The Coachman finds us?
Well…I am not going to stand back and do nothing, and I would probably fight with all that I have to protect these kids.
"Right!" I nodded, "sorry Gil. Bye Jay-Jay."
I cooed a bit at the baby before I kissed his forehead.
"Bye, baby!" January gave her baby brother a hug.
Aw, that is so cute!
"So uh…see you tonight then!" Gil walked me and the kids back before I saw someone crossing their arms at us.
It was Jay. Just great! *sarcasm* and he looks furious.
[Normal P.O.V.]
"Hey Maxie, I think that girl was making 'I think you're hot' eyes at you." Jones turned to Max, after glaring at a couple of girls checking out the tall Darling boy.
"Please, maybe they were staring at you?" Max joked back.
"I think they should know, anyone who flirts with me will get shot in the head." Jones snorted.
"You boys are scary." Mal concluded.
"Besides, I forgot to ask, how is it going on with you and Lizzie? You two had a thing going on." Evie turned to Max. Elizabeth "Lizzie" Marmoreal (daughter of the White Queen from Alice in Wonderland) was one of the childhood friends Jones grew up with and she was known for her stubborn tantrums and her bickering relationship with Max.
"Well, it's complicated. She pisses me off one minute and destroys my badminton racket the next. So yeah, it's a riot." Max shrugged. "But we don't really talk much these days so I don't even know what we are anymore."
"Sounds like we are on the same team." Mal gave Max a hi-5.
"Yeah, but aren't you the one that started this chain reaction in the first place?" Max responded.
"Touché." Mal was a bit offended by Max's statement yet impressed at how quick Max was adapting to the Isle.
"I do learn from the best. He speaks very broken and limited French, knows how to (il)legally operate a bazooka, and has never been a gentleman since he was 8." Max gestured over to his best friend dramatically.
"This moi!" Jones smirked over as he pointed to himself. "We're basically James Potter and Sirius Black."
"We're not going to die by the end of story like they did, right?" Max blinked.
"Boy, I hope not." Jones shook his head. "That's an answer only the authoress knows."
[Me: Hey, I am not killing anyone of your main characters! Back to the story!]
"Cool, because if I had a son, I would want to name him after you." Max nodded.
"I am SO honored." Jones grinned.
"So do you think these little kids can help give me a VK look?" Max asked, "dad gives me the same butch cut for years!"
"What about me, eh? I have been having the same buzzcut since I was born! Just because dad was in the army, it ain't meaning I will be like that! I want to take over the world with style!" Jones snorted.
"Well, now that explains so much about you two." Dakota nodded, before they all entered Curl Up and Dye.
Dizzy was busy crafting something by her worktable when Evie snuck behind her and covered her eyes. Dakota, Jones and Max just stood by and watched. (because they don't really know anyone but they were just looking around the shop)
"Guess who is it?" Evie asked.
"EVIE!" Dizzy squealed as she hugged the bluenette. "EVIE YOU CAME BACK!"
"Hey." Mal nodded.
"DIZZY! HOLY KELP! You would not BELIEVE what happened!" Yi announced before she pushed the doors open.
"I know! Evie's back!" Dizzy was caught up in the excitement.
"We were going to say your cheating scum of a brother was caught by Brynn and Melanie with a bunch of girls from Gaston's Tavern. But sure, we can go with that as highlight of the day." Eva shrugged.
"Who are those people?" Yi motioned to Jones and Max. She had only met Dakota so far.
"Dizzy, Yi, Eva. These are our friends from Auradon. This is Max Darling, Jones Li, and my sister Dakota Perez." Evie introduced the new friends to the younger girls.
"Darling? As in Wendy Darling?" Eva asked.
"That's my aunt. But no, John Darling's my adoptive father." Max waved.
"Wait, you have a sister?" Dizzy turned to Evie.
"Auradon played a Parent Trap on us." Dakota replied, "sick place, I dig the mural art!"
"Thanks. My sister and I made them." Yi motioned to Eva.
"Eh, no mural art tops up Booty Kick the Bride." Jones snickered, before taking out a picture from his wallet. When he and Tracy were younger, they once followed Uncle Chip to Corona Kingdom and they were making poses at some wall painting and one of them was a picture of a bride and a groom, in which Tracy accurately pose behind the bride like she was kicking the bride.
"Squad goals." Max laughed a bit at their inside joke.
"Is Auradon exactly like how we always imagined? Do you have coffee? Have you been to a real swimming pool? What does ice cream taste like?"
"Wow, a real chirper." Jones blinked.
"Reminds me of the time we got stuck babysitting Jenny. I think they would get along swimmingly." Max whispered back before the two guys chuckled.
"It's cold, sweet and if you eat too much, your brain freezes." Evie answered.
"Freeze your brain, swim in the ice, get lost in the pain~" Max hummed along.
"Not now, Maxie!" Dakota hushed the boy.
"Really?" Dizzy grinned.
"We saved one of your former sketchbook for you." Eva took out an old scrapbook from Dizzy's worktable and gave it to Evie. Evie started to look through her old designs.
"I love the designs." Dakota glanced over.
"This brings back so many memories. I made this dress out of old curtains and safety pins." Evie told them.
"Yeah, I skimmed through it. Fashion is not really my thing, I tried to read it and dead fish rose to the surface." Yi made a snarky remark.
"I feel the same way about math!" Jones nodded.
"It looks beautiful." Eva admitted.
"It reminds me of the dress you made for Mal when she met Jasmine." Dizzy nodded.
"I spilled curry all over it." Mal remembered.
"Yeah, you did." Dizzy nodded.
"Yeah I enjoy the food fight particularly." Yi stated.
"Sure, you do." Eva chuckled.
"Remember when Carpet and Abu got into the action?" Mal chuckled a bit.
"I was so glad I went to the military base that day." Jones exclaimed.
"Jones, you almost blew up the infirmary!" Evie turned to Jones.
"ALMOST." Jones highlighted.
"You're right, girls, this is totally inspirational." Evie turned to her old designs.
"Yeah, we had to fight the Tremaine sisters: Agnes and Annalise to get our hands on it." Yi pointed out. "For girls that look petite, they have sharp nails that can compete with Scar's claws."
"You can take the girl out of the Isle, but you can't take the Isle out of the girl." Dizzy gave Evie a side-hug.
"So you're one of those Auradon people, aren't you?" Eva turned to the guests.
"Yeah, but we're not spoilt rotten like they are." Max nodded.
"So, does this say glamourous or too much?" Evie grabbed a brooch and one of the hearts accessories.
"Hand me the glue gun!" Dizzy nodded, before the two get to work on accessorizing.
"Do they always talk like that?" Max asked Eva.
"Yeah, they'd go on for hours." Eva nodded.
"Once, we all talked here for hours than Dizzy's frumpy grandma had to kick us out with her broom." Yi snorted.
"The only thing we ever talked about growing up was how to hide the fact that we broke Uncle Chip's motorbike." Jones replied.
"Really? I grew up breaking locks to get into my dad's wine cellar." Dakota blinked. "Not the kind of AK you'd want."
"So what can we do for you?" Dizzy asked.
"I was hoping if you girls can give us a haircut?" Max and Jones shared a smile.
"We need a new look; military hairstyle is all that we grew up in." Jones nodded.
Dizzy looked at the boys for a moment before her eyes twinkled with inspiration.
"Sure, grab a sit, boys. Yi, Eva, I need your help!" Dizzy turned to her friends.
"Duty calls." Eva shrugged.
"We don't even work here! That's considered child labor!" Yi replied.
"No child labor beats the adventure we had last night. Diz, would you mind stepping out for a bit later? We have got a story to tell you." Eva turned to her friend.
"Sure." Dizzy nodded.
"By the way, my grandmother told me that someone broke into the Coachman's house last night! Have you heard?" Dizzy remembered before the rest went pale on the face.
"The Coachman, huh? Isn't he your grandma's on-and-off again boyfriend?" Mal asked, trying to skip the subject.
"Yeah, it's weird because half the older villains here have on-and-off relationships. Like how Madam Gothel keeps flirting with Mr. Faciliar to make Judge Frollo jealous." Eva added.
"I feel like each week, all the them switch their weekly flings." Yi crossed her arms.
"Hey, focus on the haircut, please?" Mal reminded them.
[Tracy's P.O.V.]
Well, this is just awkward!
"Kids, go inside. I'll just talk to your so-called 'dad' and see what he needs to talk about." I told January. Ugh, it sounds SO WRONG!
"Ok, bye kiddos! Bye Tracy! Bye Jay!" Gil waved at us before he cradled Jayden in his arms and walked away.
"Why were you hanging out with him?!" Jay demanded, trying to sound calm but he is growling! He's sounding like Dude when Kitty comes over to bring her pet Ringo home from Dog Obedience school!
But why is he growling at ME?
"We're just hanging out, besides there were children present. Nothing happened." I defended.
"Uh guys?" January called out, we both turned to the young princess.
"What is it, sweetie?" I asked with a weak smile.
"Mommy's not fighting with daddy, right?" January's bottom lip quivered. Oh no, she's gonna cry, and I ain't letting my baby girl get sad!
"No. we're not. We just like to agree to disagree." Jay explained.
"Yeah, I never agreed to that." I pointed out, "it's ok, you should get inside."
"Yeah, Dad's gonna be right back with Momma." Jay nodded, before he grabbed my hand and pulled me to the back of the warehouse.
"We need to stop addressing each other as 'daddy' and 'mommy' in front of these kids!" I groaned a bit, it makes me feel like we're each other's parents…or spouse!
"You don't like him, do you?" Jay asked me.
"No! why would you say that?!" I frowned, "yeah, Gil is cute and all, but we're just platonic friends."
"You think Gil is CUTE?!" Jay seemed to be unhappy about it.
"Why do you care about who I like?" I asked back, "it's not like you're my boyfriend or anything!"
Besides, he's probably got some pretty pink princess back on Auradon waiting for him! I thought bitterly.
"You're right…I'm not your boyfriend, and I don't really have the right to stop you from seeing anyone." Jay replied.
Huh, that was…really mature of him. And during the few times he's actually serious, I find it guilty to actually find his aggressive but sometimes serious attitude alluring.
"But…I want you." Jay told me with a dead serious look on his face.
"To…leave you alone?" I asked.
"No!" Jay shook his head. Dude, you-you're getting too close! Personal space!
"I want you, to be more than just my friend." Jay told me.
"Oh, I get it! You want to be my best friend!" I nodded.
"No! I meant to say." Jay stammered.
"BEST. FRIENDS. FOREVER. I am SO honored!" I nodded with a big forced smile.
"Sure. I guess that's what we are." Jay smiled back, but he looked kind of…sad.
But I can't let him just tell one girl he loves her and then comes over to me and wants me to be his backup lover!
"Guess who January tried robbing just now?" I asked him.
"Madam Mim?" Jay asked.
"Nope, your dad." I replied, with a weak laugh, "I think your father might be under the impression that January is your daughter and we're the parents."
"What? How was that possible?! My dad hardly tolerates with youngsters that steal from him!" Jay raised his eyebrows.
"Well, you know our baby girl. Always a charmer." I chuckled, looking at January.
"Yeah, I don't like Dewey making eyes at her." Jay frowned.
I still can't forgive him for what he did, but right now I guess I should call it a truce and focus on the kids and Ben first.
"I'm glad we're sort of on the same page." Jay turned to me.
"I guess so…" I remembered the night when I heard him asking out another girl, and I am still mad about that. But for the sake of the younger kids, I guess for now we have to call it a truce.
[Jay's inner thoughts: "WHY. DID. SHE. PUT. ME. IN. THE. BEST. FRIEND. ZONE?!" (bangs his head against the wall)]
Meantime… [No one's P.O.V.]
The Coachman started to stir before he woke up. That was odd, how long has he been asleep?
It's late! Why didn't those useless children wake him up? And why didn't they bother to cook breakfast?
'Those lazy good-for-nothing imbeciles must be oversleeping!' The Coachman stood up before he headed over to the stables, but he wasn't expecting the stables to be empty as soon as he unlocked the door.
"WHERE ARE THEY?!" He roared loudly, loud enough to shake the Isle. He rushed to the camera room and found the footage deleted. Even the kid he locked inside the Basement was gone.
"Who did this?! They shall pay! "
The Coachman made a vow, as he clenched his fists tightly. His face started to turn bright red, his eyes turning bright green, as if he was about to transform into a demon.
Oh boy, looks like a lot has happened in this chapter! And to be honest, among all the villains of Disney movies I grew up watching, my top picks would be Maleficent, the Evil Queen (her hag transformation was spot on) and The Coachman (because he's basically the Devil himself) scared me most.
Chapter Talk: -
1 Looks like Brynn and Melanie found out about Drew being a Cheating Scum! Drew is a cheat, and abusive towards his girlfriend. Oh well, on the bright side now Melanie can try for her chance with her crush. I think maybe Melanie would hide her sexuality since I don't really think the Isle people are open to LGBT (and don't forget Frollo, he probably runs the church if there is ever one on the Isle) Also I cameoed Jade (who looks like Fivel Stewart, since she played an awesome Reese, so I would base Jade off a bit of Reese.) and Claudine Frollo (I envision her looking like Shelby from Best Friends Whenever, since I also mentioned Claudine has a good friend Cydney daughter of Clayton from Tarzan. So you can see who Cydney is based off) [Random fact: Jones actually grew up and eventually had a son named Tyson, and I think Cyd is probably Jones's best choice for the mother of child. I guess you could say Jones is probably like Voldemort who picks their best girl to be their one-fling partner] I don't know if Cydney will show up, but chances are her and Jones will become best bros within seconds. Brandon is also a really good brother if he can ditch 2 girls he was supposed to babysit and ran to his sister in time of need.
2 I like to think that Gil could be interested in Tracy, since in Satisfied it is implied Gil possibly has feelings for her. And although Dewey and January wanted to third-wheel so they could ruin the 'date' (because they are all firm Jay/Tracy shippers) but they find it impossible to hate someone as kind as Gil. Also, January robbing Jafar wasn't fully intended but I wanted to see January interacting with Jafar , her 'grandpa', she has her own unique charm that melts peoples' hearts. So yeah, I think Jafar somewhat thinks of January like a granddaughter. [Me: just you wait until you meet Jacy, Jafar. She likes magic and witchcraft as much as you do, so maybe she's your possible future scepter's owner. Tracy: PURPLEDOLPIN05 NO! Me: Purpledolpin05 YES!] Jay having a talk with Lonnie, Hunter and Hayley seemed optional to me, since I think Jay would take advice from people his age while Tracy prefers to confide in her kids.
3 Max and Jones are kind of as parallel to Sirius and James because their bromance is to die for. I do think Max and Jones would get along well with Gil and Harry Hook. Max and Gil because they are the friendly ones while Jones and Harry would be that two friends that swear/roast the other guy to greet each other. Also, I hope no one is gonna be angry at Dude having a potential gay crush on his dog bro-friend, Ringo.
Random fact: I lowkey ship Lady Tremaine/The Coachman along with Mother Gothel/Judge Frollo! The Coachman likes abusing kids as much as Lady Tremaine likes to push Dizzy around, and I think Lady Tremaine likes status and power, in which the Coachman seems to have with a bonus Cockney accent (I think that is the only down part of the relationship: communication problems); and Mother Gothel seems to be Frollo's best match but they would be that one couple that reminds you of a Taylor Swift song.
That's all for now, thanks for reading. Feel free to fave, follow, review and tell me what you think about this update. Hope you've liked it and have a nice day.
