Chapter 22
ONE MONTH LATER
Camilla's What's My Name? Outfit: red pirate-y shirt with flowy sleeves that end at her elbows, collar is wide enough to wrap around her shoulders. End of shirt tucked into Dalmatian spotted shorts and thick black belt. Same black boots with mismatched red and white laces. Black fingerless gloves (no finger holes just end at knuckles/at top of palm)
Camilla was sitting on the counter at Ursula's Fish and Chips chatting with some of the other girls from the crew. As time had passed the chip shop had really grown on her. It was the second most frequented place of the crew, the ship being the first, and the under the sea theme had slowly started to feel like home. She had to give Uma credit it was the perfect villain hang out, much better than the Slop Shop. She liked the blue and green shredded streamers that hung from the ceiling, the ship wheels that had been converted into chandeliers. And she especially liked the clever signs Uma had put around the place, 'The Customer is always Wrong', 'Exact Plunder Only', 'Tip or Else', and her personal favorite, 'No Fighting. . . unless you think you can win!'. She turned to Gil who was further down the table stuffing his face and talking with a few deckhands. Then the doors burst open and her boyfriend walked in. Harry was always one for dramatic entrances and today was no different. He pushed the doors open with a slam letting everyone know he had arrived, he had a string of fish dangling from his hook and passed them off to Cook who was helping serve customers. Then he made his way over to the table and gave Camilla a long kiss which she returned with equal heat. Then Uma came out of the kitchen holding a tray of fish and chips that she dropped onto the tabletop. Then she snapped her fingers at them.
"Hey, you two wanna come up for air, the fish stinks this place up enough without you two adding to it with all the lovey-dovey nonsense."
Harry pulled away and shared a look with Camilla that let her know he'd make up for the interruption later.
"Ooo." Harry murmured turning to the tray of food Uma brought before he hopped over the table and began digging in as Uma stole a fish patty and threw it at the screen, her anger mirroring Camilla's as they watched the 'happy royal couple' in another interview. Harry chuckled as Uma shook the crumbs from her fingers.
"Poser." She scoffed.
"Traitor!" Harry shouted before popping another chip in his mouth.
"Turncoat!" Camilla cried.
"Hello!" Uma shouted at the crew who then threw their food as well, Harry included, some of it sticking to the screen longer and sliding down Mal's perfect face.
"Oh, I would love to wipe the smiles off their faces." Harry said approaching the screen, wiping off some of the leftover fish patty and licking it off his finger. "Know what I mean?" He asked before resuming his place across the bar from Camilla.
"Gil! You wanna quit chocking down yolks and get with the program?" Uma scolded him like a child. He swallowed the egg in his mouth and muttered.
"Yeah what they said."
"That little traitor, who left us in the dirt!" Uma yelled across the shop.
"Who let her feelings for some king ruin our plans." Camilla added.
"Who turned her back on evil." Harry said munching on another fry.
"Who said you weren't big or bad enough to be in her gang." Gil said from the kitchen window where he was getting more eggs. He looked around confused when the whole place fell silent. "You know the gang Camilla used to be apart –" he paused when he saw Harry's vicious look when he mentioned Camilla's name, then Gil turned to the rest of the crew, "Back when we were kids." He tried explaining as if anyone there didn't get it. "Come on, you guys remember she called her Shrimpy and the name just kind of –" he paused when Harry stopped leaning on the table and stood up straight the look in his eye telling Gil he was about to get hooked. Uma had to put her arm out to stop him, " – stuck." Gil finished finally understanding that he'd crossed a line. Uma did her best to restrain a growl before rolling her eyes and turning to Harry and Camilla's side of the table.
"That snooty little witch. Who grabbed everything she wanted and left me nothing."
"No she left you that sand box and then she said you could have the –"
"I need you to stop talking!" Uma ordered turning back to Gil and slamming her fist on the table making the trays and silverware rattle.
"Look we have her turf now." Harry reasoned, "They can stay in Boredon –"
"Harry that's her turf now." Uma sneered giving him a light tap on the shoulder before turning off the old television. "And I want it too. We should not be getting her leftovers. Son of Hook, son of Gaston, daughter of De Vil and me! Most of all! Daughter of Ursula!" She said proudly before turning back to Harry.
"What's my name?" she asked and Harry knelt down and removed his hat.
"Uma." He said worshippingly. Uma turned, shared an evil smirk with Camilla then asked Gil.
"What's my name?"
"Uma?" he said through another mouthful of food.
"What's my name? What's my name?" she asked the crew, once to the people on her left then again to the ones on her right.
"UMA!" they cheered.
"This is all hands on deck!" she cried as they all slammed their hands on the table. "Calling out to lost boys and girls, I'm getting tired of the disrespect." She held her sword up high and rounded the table with Harry while Gil opted to simply jump up on the furniture. "We won't stop til we rule the world. It's our time, we up next! Our sail's about to be set! They ain't seen nothing yet! Tell'em who's in charge so they don't forget." She told Harry, "What's my name? What's my name?" she began to sing as they all cried, "UMA!"
"No one's gonna stop us, soon the world will be ours!" she said as the crew lifted her onto the table with Gil, though she quickly pushed him down as the crew chanted Uuuuuu-ma. Harry and Camilla joined her on the table looking down at the other pirates with wicked glee. Soon they leapt from the counter and joined the crew in dancing like scallywags.
"I'm the queen of this town!" Camilla cried getting up on another table. "I call the shots you know who I am. I don't need to wear no fake crown." She said kneeling down on the tabletop and knocking Starkey's hat from his head in mockery. He turned to her with a glare but Harry, who had been behind him saw him advance on Camilla and the smile fell from his face and he brought his hook to the other pirate's neck. "Stand up to me you don't stand a chance!" Camilla gloated in his face as Harry displaced him.
"It's our time, we up next!" Uma continued, "My crew's as real as it gets. The worst is now the best!" She said jabbing her sword at the others while Camilla stole a blade from a nearby deckhand, sat on the tabletop and crossed it with Harry's hook.
"And leaving us here will be their last regret." They said in unison before he made his way to the makeshift stage as the others hoisted Uma up on her coral throne as she continued chanting "What's my name?" before Harry took over.
"You know what they say, bad girls have all the fun. Never learned how to count cuz I'm number one. Ready here we come. We always get our way. It's a pirate's life, every single day! Hey! She's the Captain I'm the first mate, enemies seasick can't see straight. Call'em fish bait, throw'em on a hook. My girl's so hot they get burned if they look!" he jumped off the stage and kissed Camilla's hand when he'd finished the last line.
"All eyes on me let me see'em!" Uma said standing on her throne as her crew circled her. They carried her from table to table until she made it to the stage herself.
"Hook me!" she said as she playfully tugged at Harry's hook. He laughed manically as the crew joined them on stage. Camilla had made her way over to Gil and sat beside him on a yellow chair under a ship's wheel and some 'ride with the tide' graffiti. Then Uma danced down the stage as Harry threw other pirates off it before moving to the organ and beginning to play. Then Uma kicked Starkey and stole both his swords as Harry swung from one chandelier. Gil and Camilla laughed at their friend's fun. But Gil's laughter ended when two crew members threw a net over him and turned him into a ride for Uma. Camilla continued to laugh as they slid him down the table until Uma got off him and sat back on her throne. Harry lifted Camilla up bridal style and they spun their way to Uma, then he sat her on the bar as the crew huddled around their Captain. They all laughed until a long tentacle came out of the back door and swung at them, Uma had to jump to avoid it.
"Shut your clams!" Ursula shouted.
"Mom!"
"These dishes ain't gonna wash themselves!" when the tentacle retreated Uma fixed her hair and told the crew it was all fine.
"Because when I get my chance to rain down evil on Auradon, I will take it! They're gonna forget about that girl, and remember the name! –"
"Shrimpy!" Gil shouted oblivious to his folly. Uma nodded to Harry who bent in front of Gil and nodded at the door. The two boys left with Harry roughly grabbing Gil's collar. The doors slammed as Harry pushed Gil out of them as he stuttered. Then Harry went back inside fixing his hat before he immediately pivoted and returned outside. His hook aimed at Gil threateningly as he backtracked and finally understood that Uma wanted him out, so he turned and sat on the pier instead.
Harry returned shortly after finding the shop as calm as it had been earlier. Uma had returned to the kitchen while Camilla finished the chips off the tray she'd brought. Harry pulled up a stool beside her and draped one arm over her shoulder's while he began to eat with his other.
"He tried to walk right back in didn't he?" Camilla asked not even looking up from her food. The only reply she got out of her boyfriend was a heavy sigh, then he pulled her onto his lap as they continued eating and she contemplated how it was possible after so much time that Gil still forgot to never mention the name Shrimpy – ever.
AN: Anyone notice how Harry calls it Boredon and Camilla did the same wayyyy back in chapter one? That was one of my subtle hints at to who her mystery guy was, hehe.
Also, let me know what you thought of the 'What's My Name?' scene. Descendants 2 has a lot of music scenes that you can't really cut out without skipping something important and then the next scene feels like it's missing something. Let me know what you thought of how I did with this song and I'm open to any ideas as to how to tackle the next music scene. (Did you like Camilla being added to What's My Name?)
