Hey Descendants!

Happy Friday!

Hope you're ready for some Jonnie, a little David and Jay shenanigans, Carlos and Doug worrying over Roy, Mal and Evie helping out a possible friend, and Carlos dealing with an unexpected puzzle. Looks like this chapter is a montage. :)

We hope you enjoy

-Dark-

Lonnie wipes the sweat from her brow after sticking her landing. "Now this is a good way to spend an afternoon." She grins as she stands to her feet, her long ponytail plastered to her flushed face. "Talk about a work-out." She chuckles as she tilts her head up to look at him.

Jay laughs as he looks down, "No kidding. I haven't run like this since-" he looks away.

"How'd you learn to do this so well?" Lonnie asks, awkwardly attempting to cover his sudden discomfort. After listening to them talk at the lake she'd be surprised to hear they'd had teachers for this kind of thing.

"You really want to know?" Jay half chuckles before he backflips off the ledge above her, lands on the dumpster beside her and front flips to land in front of her.

"How could I not after that?" She chuckles. "That was so boss."

Jay sighs and drops his eyes from her, "Life on the isle is- Well, it's different." He shrugs, "Most of this I learned while running from people, or because I was chasing somebody down. Mostly just one somebody. I mean, I know I look cool doing it, but it's also about not losing momentum and quickly gauging your surroundings so you can plan a path of least resistance. And, more importantly, gauging if it can support your weight." He rubs the back of his neck, "Because being wrong on that's embarrassing and painful."

Oh. Well, she'd asked. She just wasn't expecting such a blunt response when they were usually so hushed about the isle. She appreciated it. "So you didn't really have a choice but to get better. That's one helluva incentive. No wonder you're so good." She states, "That's some solid advice. Falling from these heights would be embarrassingly painful." She grimaces. She could only imagine how many times he must've misjudged his landing. He was obviously someone who had a lot of pride. It was one of the things that drew her to him.

"Yeah. But hey, you're getting way better. Better just comes with falls." He runs his hand through his hair, "I should have asked this before, but you do know how to take a fall right?"

"Like I would've been able to leave my house without knowing how to fall," She snorts, "My parents are obsessed with us being able to fend for ourselves in case a sudden war magically breaks out where we are. Constant vigilance is basically my dad's motto." She chuckles, unable to keep the warmth from her tone.

"Oh, that's why I like you so much." Jay grins, "That's how I train my people too."

He liked her? Lonnie blushes as she beams at him, ignoring the way her stomach did an odd little flip. "Best way to learn is to do. Pain is a great reminder to learn quicker." She agrees. Both her parents believed in that philosophy, and it was one she also stood by.

"Seriously, why aren't you on any of the teams here?" He rolls his eyes, "You're like a hundred times tougher than the guys."

"Because apparently breasts scare princes." She huffs with a dismissive wave of her hand, "And most of their fragile egos wouldn't be able to deal with it."

"That's dumb. On the isle, it doesn't matter if you're a guy or a girl, just that you're skilled." He looks towards the isle, furrowing his brow before his eyes soften, "Or at least most of us think like that."

"Well, no place is perfect." And as awful as the isle sounded, she still couldn't help a part of her was slightly jealous that over there, sex didn't matter. Luckily logic kicks in and she shoves the thought away. "And no one is either." She was tempted to ask what he meant by most of them, curious why he suddenly grew so somber. She steps forward, twitching to place a hand on his shoulder and pull him out of his thoughts before she thinks better of it.

Jay tilts his head to the side, "I guess that's true." A smile slowly claims his lips, "That's a wicked way to think."

"It's how I get through talking to our peers." She admits with a mischievous grin.

"Is that how?" Jay chuckles, "I thought it was with sarcasm and eye rolls."

"Sarcasm flies right over most of their heads."

"I thought it was just isle speak." Jay shakes his head before he leans against the wall beside her, "But I guess it's kinda the same thing."

"I would imagine sarcasm is the first language over there," She chuckles, "Even Carlos is fluent in it."

"You should hear the pup play C.O.D, you'd lose the even in that statement."

"Video games do tend to bring out the worst in people."

Jay snorts, "If sassy sarcasm is Carlos at his worst I'll take it."

"Do you play?" She asks as she unties her hair to run her fingers through it in an attempt to get it out of her face.

Jay shrugs, "I got the game because he wanted someone to play with. I don't play it a lot, but I can survive."

Lonnie grins, "Just survive?"

"Guns are weird." He admits with a frown.

"Have you messed with the controller to make it less sensitive?"

Jay flashes her a toothy grin that makes her traitorous stomach flip before he holds his arms wide, "Do I look like a pup?"

"No, you certainly don't…" She shakes her head, blushing as she looks at the wall across from her, "But um, I could check for you. It's been a while since I played, but we could co-op together against him and Roy."

"Sounds fun." Jay pulls his phone out, "Need my game tag?"

"Yeah," She slides her phone out of her pocket.

"Bromuch."

Lonnie snorts, as she sends her tag to him.

Jay's eyes light up, "Too Bro for you huh? That fits."

Lonnie chuckles, "It's funny to wait 'til I annihilate everyone and then tell them I'm a girl."

"Is that seriously a thing even in games?" Jay furrows his brow.

"Yep." Lonnie frowns. "Obnoxiously more toxic though."

"Auradon is so fucking backwards about the dumbest shit." He shakes his head before his lips curve in a small smile, "Deez is going to be so fucking mad when she gets here. Not that she's going to mind it personally, I can't see her fighting to be on a team. But she'll end up fighting just for the option. She's like a huge advocate against all things unjust."

She can't help her smile at the thought, "I can't wait for more of you all to come over. You all sound a lot more fun than the rest of the people here."

"Really?" Jay's eyes widen, "You're, you're seriously pro more of us?"

She turns to look at him with a quirked brow, "Of course, how could I not be with the way you talk about them. Besides, we could use more advocates for injustice. I might be able to make the team before I graduate."

"Wow." He chuckles before he wraps his arms around her.

The hug had been a surprise. Welcomed, but still a surprise. His spinning her around once nearly made her squeak. Her face heats up as her stomach burst with a flutter of crickets. She curses herself. She didn't want her stupid hormones to ruin this for her. But it was hard not to think of his strong arms around her. His callous hands- She swallows hard as she shuts that thought down. Damn it.

Jay blinks as he sets her back down and takes a step away, "Sorry."

"Why? I'm not." She grins up at him, resisting the urge to follow his steps as she works to get herself under control, ignoring the way her heart was still pounding rapidly against her chest.

"Oh thank Hades." He sighs in relief, "I just um, I'm happy to know you'd be cool with more of my friends coming over. Like, if you can think that way, others can too, right?"

"I personally think that everyone who thinks otherwise has their head shoved up their ass and needs a lesson or five on nature versus nurture." She grumbles as she defiantly crosses her arms over her chest. "But seriously," She blinks up at him, "I'd really love more of your friends coming over, you speak so highly of them. I'd love to meet them."

"David talks about nature versus nurture a lot." Jay grins as he claps her shoulder, "And thanks, I uh, I appreciate the confidence." He looks away, as if he was able to see something in the distance. It takes her a moment to realize the isle was somewhere in that direction. "I'd like you to meet them too. I just, I wish I knew when we could go get them."

She tilts her head back thoughtfully, "If it's something you're really worried about, you should talk to Jordan. She's like the school's celebrity personality." She rolls her eyes, "They eat everything out of her hands. It's how Mal's hair spell got so popular so quickly."

Jay's eyes narrow in thought, "I don't think I've met her yet."

Lonnie rolls her eyes before she looks down at her phone, "You don't know what a vlog is. But it's a way to communicate through a computer. Get Jordan on your side and a majority of the school will be begging for more of you to come over. She's kinda like a god to the vapid and shallow." She clicks play on a video. "Here's the one she did on Mal."

Jay shakes his head when the video ends, "Oh I'm willing to bet everything I own Mal does not know this exists."

"No thanks, I don't bet against sure things."

"It's a good policy to have." Jay chuckles, "Hey, wanna go another round?"

"Waiting on you," She slides her phone back in her pocket before she goes to look at her watch, frowning when she remembers she couldn't find it after gym class. She pulls out her phone again, "Wait, didn't you have a thing at seven?"

"Yeah, but it's not-" His eyes widen as he looks over her shoulder at the time display, "Oh shit!"

"Finally remembered huh brah?" David chuckles as he walks towards them at a leisurely pace.

She turns in confusion only to find Jay's counselor. "Oh."

Jay bows his shoulders as he turns towards David, "I'm sorry-"

"Glad to see you working off that excess energy in a healthy way." He interrupts as he bounces on his heels.

"I should, probably take off and let you two talk." She lightly punches Jay's shoulder, "Thanks for the practice." She grins at him before she nods her head to David and runs off.

"Man, I just lost track of time." Jay quickly explains as he rubs the back of his neck.

David chuckles, checking over his shoulder to make sure no one could hear him. "I'm just pleased to find you not punching things." He admits with a grin. "This is an awesome way for you to get some control back in your life."

"You're not mad?" Jay tilts his head in confusion. He'd wasted the man's time. Worse, he'd had to come and find him.

"Nah brah," David grins. "Not mad at all. Slightly upset at myself for not listening to Nani about bringing sneakers, but let's not tell her that."

"I can do that." Jay nods eagerly, "But, how'd ya find me?"

"Remember when I asked if I could pull location from your phone after you told me you and Mal have passed out in the woods before?" He smiles when Jay nods, "That."

"Wicked." Jay shrugs, "Sorry for making you come out here. It's just the best place to practice parkour."

"Hey brah," David holds up his hands, "I'm not complaining about the exercise. And again, I'm happy to see you doing activities out here with…" He gestures in the direction Lonnie left in.

"Oh," Jay blushes, "That's Lonnie. She's pretty cool."

"Nice." David nods, "She seems like it."

"She's the one that made me go see the Baymax the first time."

"Cool, smart, and badass. Not bad, brah." He teases as he playfully punches Jay's shoulder.

Jay looks down, but can't help his smile. "She said she supported more of us vks coming over. And I hugged her before I could think about it."

"It didn't look like she minded." David shrugs.

"How long have you been here?" Jay blinks in surprise.

"Well, I wasn't about to interrupt you when I found you with a friend. Rude, brah."

Jay sighs, "I'm losing my edge. I didn't even realize you were here."

"Or just really distracted, because that's the happiest I've seen you since we've met." He shrugs with a lazy smile, "Ya know, either or. "

"She started hanging out with us after she asked me to spar." His brow furrows, "Did you know here in Auradon they don't let girls play a lot of sports or video games, or they make a big deal out of it?"

David takes a deep breath and sighs. "It's like that where I'm from too. It's not usually considered fair to have the two compete against each other."

"But she's like, really good. Like really good." Jay shakes his head, "Like she can disarm me faster than I can disarm her. I'm better at parkouring than she is, but that's about where my advantage ends."

"I believe you brah, Nani got through school with competitive surfing sponsors alone. Like super intense brah." He grins, pride clear in his eyes, "And I agree that it's stupid."

Jay sighs, "It's weird that the isle is in the right on this."

"You're not wrong brah." David nods. "We all need to catch up on the times." He crosses his arms as he looks Jay over, "Want to go grab some food and talk?"

"Hell yeah man. I'm starving." Jay grins as he grabs David by the arm and starts pulling him towards the parking lot, "Did you drive here?"

"I certainly didn't walk." David chuckles. "Have you eaten at a restaurant yet?"

"Nope. I saw the restaurant Ben took Mal to and decided that wasn't my thing."

"I don't blame you," David snorts, "But not what I had in mind. I saw a hole in the wall pizza shop on the drive over."

"That's weird," Jay frowns, "I thought Auradon kept their buildings looking nice."

"Sorry, it's a figure of speech. It just means it's small and unassuming."

"Wicked." Jay chuckles as he continues to pull David along, having sped up slightly once pizza was mentioned, "I love pizza brah."

David beams in response, "Then hole in the walls are about to be your favorite thing."

When they get to David's car Jay clicks his tongue and starts patting his jacket down, "Before I forget, I wrote Deez a letter. Well, I wrote a letter to my friends, but with a message specifically for Deez." He unzips his pocket and pulls it out.

"Nice." David nods, "Wanna drop it off at the barge after we eat?"

"You don't want to read it?" Jay tilts his head to the side.

"Do you want me to read it?" David asks, narrowing his eyes slightly as if trying to get a read on him, "I definitely would read it, but it's your call."

"I don't mind if you do." Jay holds it out, dropping his hand to his side when David takes it, "Doug just said you were going to, like he was trying to warn me or something."

"Oh." David chuckles, "That's a therapy technique." He taps the corner of the letter against the hood of his car, "Like if you were needing to get something off your chest to someone you couldn't communicate with, like someone who passed away. Or if you wanted to write to your father and not send it. You would write it, I'd read it, and then we'd talk about it so it would help you confront what was bothering you."

"Ah." Jay shrugs, "But if you don't mind us dropping it off, I'd like to try and get it there as soon as possible. Not knowing is not fun."

"Sure brah, I figured you'd want to send it off yourself." He shrugs lazily.

"I don't know how she sent so many of these damn things," Jay rolls his eyes, "it took me all week to write this." But he'd gained a new level of respect for her at the same time. She always made finding the right words look so easy.

"Years of practice, patience, and passion I'd imagine." He offers the letter back to Jay, "I don't need to read this if you don't want me too. It's your choice."

"I trust you." Jay shrugs as he looks away, "Besides, it's kind of intimidating sending a letter to someone so good at them."

David's eyes soften as he smiles. "I can get that. I hate sending in my paperwork to Cobra." He opens the letter and reads over it carefully, "But I'm glad you took your time with it, cause it looks great to me." He refolds the letter.

Jay smiles in relief, "Really? I was worried cause it's the first time I've ever written to her."

"Yeah brah," David nods, "I'm sure." He frowns before grinning again. "And I doubt this'll be the last time you write her." He hands the letter back. "Make sure to zip that up." He pulls out the remote for his car and hits a button. "Now, let's go get some pizza."

"Brah, I've got two letters I'm keeping safe-" Jay's eyes widen as the car lifts off the ground, and he realizes why it looked strange to him when they first got to it. "Your car is flying."

"Yep." David grins as he slips into the driver's seat, "otherwise I'd offer to let you drive."

Jay zips his pocket closed before he whoops and jumps in the front seat, "This is so fucking wicked! Carlos is going to lose it when I tell him cars can fly."

David chuckles, "This is kinda a one in five deal."

"Have you met our pup brah?" Jay shakes his head as he looks around at all the flashing lights. "If it's been built, it can be built again."

"Fair enough, if anyone could figure out what uncle did, it would be him." David smiles as he buckles his harness. "You to brah."

Jay quickly pulls the straps together, only to realize he had no idea how to connect them. "The fuck?"

"Oh yeah," David turns, "Mind if I show you? It's a bit of a pain in the ass."

"Want to fly and eat pizza, yes please." Jay practically begs.

David chuckles before he demonstrates how it works. "And that's how you put on a spaceship harness." He blinks, "Not that this one can go into space, but the harness is from one of the space crafts." He turns the car on before he pulls the steering wheel up.

Jay presses a hand to his belly, laughing as David takes off, "Oh shit, this is like cliff jumping with T!"

David shoots him a glance before he chuckles.

"You can't be serious." Roy groans as he flops back against the couch.

"You can't seriously be this close to failing every class."

"We can seriously not be talking about this." Roy grins as he holds one hand up with his controller in it, "Come on one oh one, Crown of Duty is calling and she's a fickle mistress."

"Dude!" Carlos grimaces as his eyes grow glassy, "I don't want to graduate before you."

"Don't worry I'll fail out before that happens."

"You're not stupid, why the hell are you failing?"

"Because school is boring."

Doug rolls his eyes, "He found you and stopped all homework."

"Way to throw me under a bus man," Roy glares over the back on the couch, "don't you have a skirt to go chase?"

"I feel like Carlos and I have a similar stance on this subject," Doug smirks as he crosses his arms over his chest.

"Yeah no kidding, we're gonna have to fix this Roy, I can't sit by and let one of my friends fail because they'd rather play video games." Carlos frowns before he sits on the couch, "Why don't we do our homework together, and then play video games?"

"Why don't you do your homework, while I play then."

"You jerk, you'd level without me?" Carlos pouts, "What happened to being bros?"

"Or I could just lock you out during certain hours of the day." Doug threatens.

"Now who's the jerk?" Roy rolls his eyes, "Cold bro."

"Still you," Doug rolls his eyes as he snatches the controller, "Look if you do your homework for ninety minutes a day-

"Look, it really doesn't matter. Having good grades or failing completely isn't going to change the way people look at me."

Carlos tilts his head to the side, "What does that mean?"

"I mean, everyone's always going to call me a thief just because some stupid jewelry went missing. If it's so important low jack the shit."

Doug frowns, "Don't be stupid just because some asshole lost their shit and wanted to blame someone instead of owning up to it."

"Look, maybe tomorrow. But today ain't looking like a homework kinda day." Roy waves them off.

"I'm going to do your homework and your going to copy it but either way it's getting done before we play the game." Carlos states.

"I'll help Carlos." Doug sighs, "But seriously Roy, don't let idiots get to you like that."

"You didn't have to hear Fairy Godmother's lecture about the honesty policy and truthfulness like she already judged me. Bitch."

"You know she just has to do her job right?" Doug rolls his eyes.

"Then she should do leg work before making snap judgments."

"Can we please just do homework?" Carlos whines, "I want to play. And Jay said he'd play today too! He mentioned being interested days ago, but this is his first free day. Come on!"

Doug chuckles as he settles down next to Carlos, "Want extra science or math?"

Carlos shrugs, "Science."

Doug nods, "History or English?"

"Oh…" Carlos frowns, "I need a little help with those today."

"I can do that." Doug offers, "I'm pretty well rounded for being Dopey's son. Why don't you just tackle his math and science to make this quicker though."

"Thanks man." Carlos nods eagerly, "I appreciate the help, ya know, with all of it."

It only takes five minutes of playing before Roy groans and curses and walks over to the table and begrudgingly slides into a chair. "You guys suck, you know that." He grumbles as he pulls his English book towards him.

Carlos reaches across the table and pats Roy on the head, "Good boy."

Roy barks teasingly, only for his eyes to widen as Carlos jumps and falls backward out of his seat.

Both Roy and Doug jump from their seats in concern.

"Bro… You okay?"

"Yep, decided the ground looked like an amazing thinking spot," Carlos explains in a heavy voice.

"Fair." Roy grins as he reaches over and extends his arm to Carlos.

Carlos shakes his head as Roy helps him up, "Man, you are probably going to love Harry. But I'm not sure if anyone is going to survive that meeting."

Doug shakes his head, "Not with that warning."

Carlos shrugs, "Roy kinda reminds me of him. Like that bark. That was pretty spot on for a Harry bark."

"Sounds like a challenge has been issued, can't wait till he joins us. It sounds like a blast. Bet he would get gaming over homework."

"You're probably not wrong." Carlos shakes his head, "He doesn't go to school anymore."

"School's optional on the isle?" Doug asks surprised.

"For some people." Carlos shrugs, "Uma and her crew took the docks as their territory, and there wasn't a school over there, and she and Mal have some real bad blood so she didn't want to keep attending school in Mal's territory."

"Huh." Roy frowns. "Can't blame her, Mal can be fucking scary."

Carlos just nods.

"So let's get this work done guys." Doug shrugs, "Quicker we do, the quicker we can play."

"Yeah yeah dad, I got it." He waves him off dismissively.

Doug narrows his eyes before he drops his head in defeat. He was the current dad in the room.

"My mom doesn't understand, I finally have nice hair and I'm feeling more confident, but does she care? No. She still won't listen to me about helping me feel my best." Jane complains before she leans up against Evie's bed, "She said boys that care about the outside more than the inside aren't boys worth dating." She frowns as she touches her fingers lightly to her face before she crossed her arms over her chest, "What does she know, right Mal."

Mal frowns as she listens to the other girl. She shouldn't have picked on her insecurities that first week. She knew it didn't take much to crush a fragile ego. And this girl practically smelled of low self-worth. "I don't know Jane, don't you think she's kinda right? The outside isn't really that important."

"Well sure, you can say that." Jane pouts, "You and Evie are perfect."

"So? You could be too with the right help..." Evie points out with a critical eye before she looks back down to the silky silvery purple fabric she was working with, "Perfection isn't easy, but you're a very pretty girl to begin with."

Mal sighs, but immediately nods when Jane turns to look at her, "You are pretty."

"You just need to try some different looks with your makeup, it looks like you're using your moms, and stop letting her dress you."

Jane tilts her head before she walks over to the mirror, "My mom buys my make-up. Is it old people makeup?"

"Oh yes honey, it really is." Evie snaps her fingers, "Mal, make-up bag, now. Jane go wash your face, I have a skincare system in there. Just start with the bottle on the left and keep going."

Jane frowns, "Wow, betrayed by my own mother." She sighs before she disappears into the bathroom.

Mal furrows her brow as she turns to Evie, "I think I feel really bad about what I said to her E."

"Well, you can't take back words M, best we can offer is a desperately needed makeover. It's not like she's a troll. She's a half-fairy-"

Mal frowns as she looks over her shoulder at the bathroom door, "Oh mother, she is isn't she."

"Bippity boppity." E giggles, "Her skin is just as amazing as yours, and so is her hair. It's her style that's killing her beauty."

Mal blinks several times as she turns back, "So we what, give her a few make-up tips, go through her closet and offer to go shopping with her?"

"Ooh! Shopping trip! Yes, that! Let's do that with her. She reminds me of a doll." Evie's smile hardens before she blinks and continues, "I can call Doug and see if he'll be willing to drive us."

"I'm glad you're taking a break from my dress." Mal smiles as she stands up, "I was starting to think it was just going to be a permanent part of you."

Evie holds up her hand. "Your dress is of utmost importance to me, but this is a fashion emergency."

Evie smiles as she puts a finishing stroke of blush on Jane's cheek. "The key is upward strokes on your blush, downward strokes on your finishing powder. And never directly apply lipstick, dot it on your finger if its a neutral color, or on a lip brush and then apply if it's a deeper color." She taps her finger across Jane's lips before she presses her lips together and gestures for Jane to follow. "Now look at that." She turns Jane around in her chair to face her vanity mirror, "You're beautiful." She fusses with her hair.

Jane stares at her reflection with wide eyes, "Wow. Evie. You're a miracle worker!"

"Yes, but this time it was just helping you find the right products, not magic or miracles." Evie turns to look over her shoulder, "How're clothes looking?"

"Not great. She doesn't have much left in here." Mal calls back. "Not that I blame her if this is what she has left."

"Well, that's why we bought some stuff and ordered some stuff, and I'll be making you some new clothes once I've finished our outfits for Ben's ceremony."

"Wow guys, I just. Wow, really Evie. You have the coolest fashion sense."

"Yes well, we can't all be perfect."

"Except you and Mal." Jane sighs, though she also can't seem to tear her eyes away from the mirror, "I mean, Mal is with Prince Ben, and everyone wants to look like you Evie."

"But no one wants her hellish regiment to pull it off." Mal scoffs as she exits the closet.

"Oh hush you." Evie rolls her eyes before she walks over to one of the bags and pulls out a simple fitted, blue dress, "Take this now. Sure, it's simple, but we'll pair it with this awesome belt from my collection and suddenly it's a show stopper." She holds them out for her, "Let's see. I need to find shoes and ooh let me find your socks and see what we're working with."

"Oh, okay!" Jane takes them before racing to the bathroom.

When she returns Evie passes her slightly damaged black stockings, "We'll call them artistically ripped." She grins, "It helps give the dress an edge. And these ankle boots are a perfect match for your new look."

"Thank you," She squeaks in excitement as she quickly pulls up the stockings before slipping into the boots. "I feel so different already," She beams happily.

"Now, accessories." Evie claps her hands excitedly, "Oh to have Dizzy here, she could whip you up perfectly matching everything with what little scraps T salvaged from the barges." She sighs.

Mal tilts her head to the side as she takes Jane in, "But wow, you're looking real cool Jane. Slight vk edge looks wicked on you."

"Really? You think?"

"Oh honey, you just need to stop dressing like your mother. You're your own woman." Evie slowly forms a fist in the air, "Embrace it. Feel confident in it."

"I do feel a lot more confident already." She admits before she steps in front of the mirror. Her jaw drops. "That's me!?" She does a spin. "Oh, mother! That's me!" She claps as she jumps up and down in excitement. "Thank you both so much, I don't even know what else to say. This is amazing. And I actually think I have the perfect necklace to go with this," she rushes over to her jewelry stand and rummages around in it, "Huh," She frowns, "I must have misplaced it."

"I saw some attached to outfits in here, though now most of your clothes are on the bed." Mal frowns as she looks at the pile, "But I can help you look."

"Oh, no. That's okay. You've both done so much for me today. And really, thank you. I'm so excited to go to dinner tonight." She rushes back to Mal and hugs her before doing the same for Evie, "I know you're busy, but seriously, thank you for doing this."

"Oh stop," Evie smiles as she waves dismissively, "You're making me blush. But let me know if you need any more beauty tips."

Carlos frowns as his computer freezes and the sound of dogs barking fills his speakers, making him jump.

What the? Had he been hacked? He quickly shuts the laptop. "Fuck!"

His brows furrow before he leans over and grabs his tablet to remotely figure out what was going on.

Ah. Not hacked per se, but somehow a virus had made its way onto his hard drive. He quickly manages to isolate the virus file.

Once he's sure it won't spread he starts a simple program to deconstruct the code. Stage one to reverse engineer the stupid thing incase anyone else caught it.

He pulls Jay's laptop to him to trace the virus's home ip. Another way to fix the problem was to backtrace its origin. Maybe that would help him figure out how had it gotten past his firewalls? He only had a few tabs up and all of his virus protections were active.

And why dogs?

He narrows his eyes. That was just mean, and felt kind of personal.

He shakes his head before he focuses on the scrolling algorithm. The sooner he figured this puzzle out, the sooner he could get back to his robot schematics.

Sup Descendants!

Hope you all had a great holiday, regardless of what you celebrate! I know me and Dark certainly had a roller coaster of one. But that's to be expected when family is involved.

But onto the questions!

How did you like the scene between Jay and Lonnie? We know in the movie Jay was way more of a fuck boy, hell even on the isle he was. But we really are going for the whole happily ever after soul mate bull shit in this story- So hope ya'll are a fan of Jonnie! Because it's here to stay. You can thank "One Kiss" for that one.

Besides, even as dark and twisted as we take this story, this is a Disney verse and I wanted to get this shit out of our systems before we move on to our original story.

On that note, wasn't the scene between the two adorable?

And how did you like David's entrance? He learned a lot by watching the two. And he was such a proud therapist seeing Jay burn off that excess energy. Who else is excited to see Carlos get his hands on David's ride?

And what about C, Doug, and Roy's budding bromance? We wanted to demonstrate that even in Auradon these kids can develop certain mental disorders, and Roy definitely suffers from depression, regardless of how much he tries to mask it.

Wasn't it cute to see C and Doug ganging up on Roy to do his homework?

And what did you guys think about Jane's convo with E and Mal? Was anyone expecting it? This world is in constant motion and unfortunately, we can't show everything, but rest assured when we say Doug dropped everything to drive the three to the mall.

Dark amazes me with the way she writes Jane, and just wait till we add Ally to the mix! I promise you it's going to be fantastic! ;)

And what's going on with the missing shit? And that random virus that popped up on our favorite pup's computer?

So let us know,
