A/N:
I'M ON A ROOOOOLL
RESPONSE TO REVIEWS:
GirlyGamer1986: Thank you, and here you go!
HeartlessVampireGirl: Aw, that's so touching! Thank you so much! and I realized this might actually be really confusing so I'm gonna explain. Mal is Hadrey's lady-in-waiting since Hadrey's going to be the queen. So technically, the cotillion is her "introduction to the royal council as a royal person" party too. Therefore, as the lady-in-waiting of the future queen, as well as one of the primary friends of the king and future queen, she's subject to VK Stereotyping and media and publicity stunts as well as the usual high school judgement so she's kind of in the same boat of sorts with Hadrey. That's why she has to help with the planning and decisions and everything Hadrey has to deal with, and all the stress they both have because she's Hadrey's lady-in-waiting.
Guest 1: Request Granted! Here's the update!
dream lighting: Aw, I wouldn't say stupid. I'd say temporarily blinded. But yes, it is very harsh for him to expect her to turn her back on magic and pretty impressive for Hadrey to magic up a whole full-course meal off a single peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
Becky: You don't know how big of a compliment that is to a writer. Thank you so much!
Arianna Le Fay: I know, right? It's like the whole world's weight is on her shoulders. I hate myself for doing this for her, but for story's sake, right? Thanks for reading, and here's the update! As for the request you had, :)))
DISCLAIMER: I do not own Disney's Descendants or any of it's characters. I only own my OC, Hadrey, or any OC that appears in this fanfic. Please be guided accordingly.
Hadrey bursts into the room, a few of her clothes in a gym bag next to Mal's bed.
"I'm staying here until further notice." Hadrey muttered, faceplanting on the bed.
Her head perked up at the sound of silent sobs.
"Mal?"
Mal was standing by the desk, wearing her old VK clothes.
She held a pen in her hand like it was a knife.
She started to violently stab a small box.
"Mal." Hadrey stood up and walked closer, hugging the blonde. "Honey."
"I don't belong here." Mal sobbed, crying on Hadrey's shoulder.
Hadrey sighed, grabbing her VK jacket. "Then, let's go."
Mal stopped, facing her. "What?"
"I have been waiting for so long for the excuse to get out of here and back to the Isle." Hadrey explained. "I can't be that perfect princess they want me to be."
Mal pursed her lips in thought.
"So?" Hadrey asked. "What do you say?"
Mal grabbed her backpack and the box the stabbed, pulling her mom out of her small aquarium cage and setting her inside the box.
"Let's blow this popsicle stand."
The two girls drove up to Belle's Harbor on their bikes.
"By the way, who gave you that bike?" Hadrey said, facing Mal.
"Evie bought it for my birthday." Mal responded.
"I missed your birthday?" Hadrey asked.
"You spent the whole day in Rapunzel's castle with Ben." Mal shrugged. "It's fine."
"Ben didn't even talk to me that day." Hadrey huffed as Mal pulled out her spellbook and flipped a few pages.
"Trouble in paradise?"
"You think I'll be cruising back to the Isle if Ben and I were fine?"
"Touche." Mal shrugged, showing Hadrey the page. "You ready?"
"Noble steed, proud and fair," Hadrey read.
"You shall take me anywhere." Mal finished, gasping as both their motorcycles glowed slightly.
"Okay, let's go." Hadrey said, putting on her helmet.
The two girls started their engines and drove past the fence, onto the Strait of Ursula straight into the barrier.
Both girls flinched as a green light shimmered around them, signalling that they went past the barrier and into the Isle.
Villains in the Isle sputtered and dove aside as the two girls drove in side-y-side in high speed.
Hadrey stopped next to a post, followed by Mal.
Hadrey tore off her helmet, glancing at a poster of her and Ben.
She scoffed, tearing it down and throwing it away.
Turning she tossed her helmet to a nearby merchant.
"You're welcome!" Hadrey screamed as she reared her engine.
"Look at you." Mal smirked.
"I try." Hadrey replied, grinning.
She drove off once more, only stopping once she reached a dead end with various barrels. and rocks scattered all around.
Mal stashed both of their motorcyles away before walking next to Hadrey.
"Let's go?"
Hadrey picked up rock and threw it at a sign that warns of flying rocks.
Hadrey and Mal smirked at each other as the gate opened.
Together, they strut back inside their villain den.
Ben at in his office, the phone ringing endlessly.
He sighed, rubbing his forehead and pressing a button.
"Debrah, can you ask the Mirror to call me regarding the cotillion?" He asked. "Thank you."
There was a hurried knock on the door, followed by a brief open. "Ben?"
He looked up, smiling as he saw a flurry of dark blue hair. "Hey Evie! Come in."
Evie looks somber as she walks up to him. "Mal's gone back to the Isle."
His face turns grim and worried. "What? Why? Is there—"
"Ben," Evie sighed, shaky and nervous. "Ben, so did Hadrey."
Ben froze, his face completely heartbroken. "No,"
Evie sent him a sympathetic look.
"No, No, No." Ben panicked. "She can't leave me, I… I can't be without her."
Evie only sighed, handing him a letter, and with it was his ring.
"I'm sorry, but I had to go." Ben read. "We had to go."
Ben crumpled up the note and stared at the ring before pacing back and forth. "This is my fault."
"Ben."
"No, I blew it!" He muttered. "She's been under so much pressure, and instead of understanding, I went all beast on her!"
Evie only stood next to Ben's desk, biting her lip.
Ben raised his head, his eyes wide. "I have to go there and apologize."
Evie's eyebrow raised.
"I have to go there, and beg the two of them to come back."
"Ben, you'll never find them." Evie explained. "You need to know the Isle, how it works and—'
Evie stopped abruptly once she saw Ben holding back his tears.
Evie sighed. I really can never say no to any of them.
"You have to take me with you." Evie pursed her lips.
"Yes!" Ben said, turning with a hopeful look in his face. "Are you sure?"
"Yeah, they're my bestfriends." Evie breathed out, shaking her head. "And we'll bring the boys, too, because there's safety in numbers and none of us is too popular in there right now."
Ben nodded, open to suggestions. "Thanks."
"Let's get one thing straight." Evie said, turning around to fae Ben. "You have to promise me that I won't get stuck in there again."
Ben stood, shocked. "I promise."
Evie stopped, looking at Ben from head to toe and smirked.
"And there's no way you're going looking like that."
Mal dragged Hadrey though the Isle by the arm, clutching her backpack behind her back.
"How bad could it be, Hades?"
"No." Hadrey whined.
Mal rolled her eyes, reaching a small building.
Hadrey looked up,groaning at the sign.
Curl Up and Dye. Closed until Midnight.
"Come on, you were always here." Mal huffed.
"Yeah, to drag Evie away." Hadrey snorted.
Mal pursed her lips and successfully pushed Hadrey into the building.
Hadrey immediately smiled, looking at the young girl dancing around the store.
"Hadrey!" The girl squealed, running forward and latching onto Hadrey.
"Hey, too." Mal smiled sarcastically.
"Hey, Dizzy." Hadrey laughed, gently pulling away.
"Where's Evie? Is she here too?" Dizzy asked.
"As if." Mal muttered.
"So, is business going fine?" Hadrey asked, taking a seat.
Dizzy shrugged. "Just a witch here and there. Mostly it's scrubbing and scrabbing and sweeping. Lots and lots of sweeping."
Mal smirked. "Sounds like the old Cinderella treatment."
"Yeah," Dizzy explained. "She went from wicked stepmother to wicked grandmother."
Hadrey laughed. "Well, that's not really much of a switch."
"So, you used to do Evie, right?" Mal asked.
"Hm, yeah." Dizzy nodded as she set the broom aside. "I mostly thought of little braids."
"Any ideas for us?"
"I like my hair!" Hadrey called out.
"It's too Auradonian!" Mal called back, facing Hadrey.
Hadrey sighed, standing up. "Fine."
Dizzy walked over to in between the two girls picking out a few locks of their hair.
"Washed out blonde with purple streaks, Dark Brown with an ash brown ombre." She listed. "The best of no worlds."
Mal and Hadrey looked at each other as Dizzy grabbed both their hands to check at their nails. "Bored-to-death pink? What are you two, twins?"
"What?" Hadrey and Mal replied, simultaneously.
Dizzy pursed her lips. "How far can I go?"
"The works." Mal replied. "Whatever maks me feel like me, but, you know, way worse."
Dizzy looked over to Hadrey who twirled her hair in her fingers. "If we're doing this, we're going full dark, no stars."
Dizzy let out a cry of satisfaction and began working.
Dizy twirled both Mal and Hadrey's ahirs at the same time, making them face the mirror.
"Well?"
"Wow, I look like me again." Hadrey chuckled, ruffling her blue hair.
"There I am." Mal laughs at the mirror, pulling out a 100-dollar bill from her pocket to Dizzy.
Dizzy took the money slowly. "For me?"
"You earned it." Hadrey smiled, reaching into her own pocket as Dizzy walked to the register.
Harry Hook bursts into the room, his hook hanging threateningly for everyone in the room to see.
Hadrey raised and eyebrow, smirking over at the boy.
"Fork it over, ya runt." He said in his scottish accent, glaring over at Dizzy as she handed him the 100-dollar bill. "Now, the rest of it."
Dizzy sighed as she handed Harry the coins she got from a couple of haircuts during the day.
"Thank you." Harry said, mockingly.
"Still running errands for Uma, or do you actually get to keep what you steal?" Mal smirks.
"Well, well, well," Harry smirks. "What a nice surprise."
"Hi, Harry." Mal greets sarcastically.
"Just wait to tell Uma that the two of you are back." Harry laughed maniacally.
"Nice to see you're still psychotic." Hadrey huffs.
"She's never gonna give you back your territory." Harry smirks over at Hadrey.
"That's okay," Hadrey shrugs. "because I will take it from her."
Harry smirks, brushing away a few locks of Mal's hair with his Hook.
"I can hurt you." He teased.
Hadrey scoffed, grabbing his wrist and spitting out her gum.
She smiled as she stuck the gum to the end of his Hook.
Mal smirks. "Not with her permission, I bet."
Harry gave them a threatening smile as he backs away, swiping away a few items on the counter onto the floor.
Mal tilted her head, staring after Harry.
"Great, more sweeping." Dizzy groaned.
"Gee, what a nice ex-boyfriend you have." Hadrey snorted.
"You liked him, too." Mal rolls her eyes.
"Well, I didn't date him." Hadrey replied.
"You did kiss him."
"To spite Uma."
"He thought you liked him."
"Not my problem." Hadrey smirked as Mal laughed.
Hadrey reached into her pocket and grabbed 200 dollars, handing it over to Dizzy.
Hadrey grinned at the small girl, winking. "Don't tell Harry."
