Hey guys! Here's the next to last chapter of them being on the Isle. This chapter moves this story along big time!
I'm gonna be in classes today, dunno how I feel about that...
XxIvyMoonxX : For real though, I've done some pretty funny stuff for cookies. I wanted Heidi to have a best friend no one would think of. That is when I remembered good ol' Gil and I knew I had to do it.
SailorSedna052 : Gil is fun to right for sure! You know, maybe he was supposed to be Lafou's kid then they realized it'd be easier just to say he's Gaston's kid. Or, call me crazy, (and I certainly am sometimes) but maybe he is Lafou's kid. Not gonna spout any other conspiracy junk, heaven knows no one likes that stuff. (Except me of course)
Emmettluver2010 : Same! Heidi is goofy enough to be besties with Gil and Gil is...Gil. What's not to like? Miss Heidi will soon be returning to her princess, no worries. I just wanted her to have some part in the Isle half of D2 and I just happened to drag it out a bit much…Whoops.
Guest : Thanks for the support! I'm glad you're enjoying it!
I don't own Descendants, only Heidi.
Heidi was sitting down when the door was slammed open by her favorite shrimp, lil' Uma.
Heidi smiled widely, "Uma!"
Uma rolled her eyes, "Mal has an half an hour to bring me the wand."
"And?" Heidi asked, boredom clear in her voice.
"And to make sure she cooperates, I'm having you up there as well." Uma stated, stepping out of the way as Gil entered the room, "Gil, bring her up."
Gil walked over, "Do you want me to push you along or do you just want to walk?" He asked, much to the humor of Heidi and to the annoyance of Uma.
"Gil, she's our prisoner." Uma said, emphasizing the word with a point.
Gil blinked, "But she can walk so I thought…"
Heidi stood up, "I will follow you out, thank you." She followed him out and shot a wink at Uma who growled in return.
Heidi stepped onto the deck and saw Ben right away, "Ben, you just can't stay out of trouble can you?" She called out, chuckling at the look of stupor on his face.
Gil guided her to where Ben was tied up as Uma followed them, "Gil, watch her and for the love of god, don't play anymore card games!"
Ben looked at Heidi strangely, "You played card games with him?"
"Oh yeah, I won this hat," She pointed at the hat on her head, "I've also won the right to keep my clothes, and Gil won a dozen cookies." She looked at Gil, "I'll make them sometimes this week, how does double chocolate chunk sound?"
"I have no idea what chocolate is...it sounds amazing." He said, a wide smile on his face at the thought.
"Hmm, I'll do regular and double, that way you can figure out your favorite." Heidi said, rubbing her chin in thought.
"Hey, maybe we could play more Uno when you bring them!" He exclaimed, not appearing to notice an irate Uma glaring at them.
"We definitely will, that way I can win more pirate gear and you can win more cookies. Cookie social?" She asked herself before nodding, "Each time you win, it'll be a different cookie."
Before he could reply, Uma interrupted the two, "Will you two stop it with the cookies?!"
"But cookies are good." Heidi said with a thumbs up.
"They sound good." Gil said, agreeing with the goddess.
Uma scowled, "Keep it up and you won't be around to try them." She stalked away after that, probably to grumble elsewhere.
Heidi shrugged, "Talk later?"
Gil nodded, "Yeah."
Heidi turned to look at Ben, "Anyway, long story short, Gil here," Gil waved at Ben, "body slammed me to the ground then knocked me out. When I woke up, Uma was storing me in a closet and she took my ember."
"She has your ember?" Ben asked, shock written all over his face.
"Yeah, but I wouldn't worry about it, I doubt it would do much for her." She explained, not looking bothered by the issue. "So, what's new with you? Besides the whole, 'abducted and being held hostage' thing."
Ben looked down at the floor, "I'm the reason Mal returned to the Isle. We had an argument and…" He trailed off at the end.
"She got angry and ran away?"
He nodded, "Yeah...I got abducted an hour after we arrived."
"Then they must have had you before they knocked me out. Hmm." She looked at the sky in thought, "I know why they took you, I think Uma just got fed up with me."
"Why would she do that?"
Heidi chuckled, leaning her head against the mast of the ship, "Let's just say I've been annoying her for a long time."
Ben slowly nodded, choosing not to ask anymore on that one.
Uma and Harry walked over to them, "I don't see her, Beasty Boy." She said, chuckling darkly as Harry put his hook to Ben's neck.
"How's it feel to be the king now, eh?" Harry's tone was as crazed as ever as he ran his hook up the boy's neck.
Uma folded her arms, Can't let the king get a scratch on him.
"Hey. Give it a rest, Harry." Harry paused but didn't take his hook away, "Give it a rest. We don't want damaged goods." Harry pulled away with a frown and looked at Uma.
"You said that I could hook him." Harry said, looking back at Ben with a smirk.
"I said at noon. That's...20 more minutes." Uma said, looking at a cracked pocket watch.
Heidi looked at it, "That says 11:30." She said dryly, ducking as she dodged a punch from the local shrimp.
"Be quiet." Uma said, putting the watch away. She looked at Ben with a grin, "You better hope your girlfriend comes through."
Ben looked away, "Well, she's not my girlfriend anymore."
"Leave us alone, Harry." Uma said, looking over her shoulder at Harry.
The pirate smirked at Ben, "19 minutes to go now."
"Go." She commanded, the order finally sending him away.
Ben looked at her, "I get that you don't deserve this."
"This?" She scoffed, "This island is a prison, thanks to your father. And don't pretend to look out for me. Because no one's looking out for me. It's just me." She stated as she folded her arms.
"So this isn't your mom's plan? Isn't that her necklace?" He asked, looking at the necklace.
"My mom doesn't care about me, either. Well, not unless she needs someone for the night shift." Uma said, frowning at the last part.
"Ouch." Heidi muttered, looking away as soon as Uma heard her.
"I don't need your pity." Uma stated, glaring at Heidi for a moment before looking at him.
"No, you certainly don't. You're very resourceful. I don't see you tied up." He said with a shake of the head.
"All right. So let's trash talk Mal." Uma began, looking at him as he shook his head again.
"I'd rather talk about you."
"Mm." She chuckled, "Funny and a gentleman. I really hope I don't have to feed you to the fishes."
Ben smiled slightly, "Well, you don't. Set me free, and we'll go back together."
Uma scoffed, raising an eyebrow at him, "Oh, so now I get an invite? Gee, I wonder why." She frowned, "When you brought Mal, Evie, Heidi, Carlos, and Jay to Auradon, that's as mad as I've ever been in my life. And trust me, I've been plenty mad."
Ben looked away in thought before frowning, "I never thought of it like that before. That I could've hurt the people I didn't pick…My plan was to start with five kids and bring more people over. I guess I was busy being king." Uma rolled her eyes, "That sounds lame." He said, shaking his head and frowning in apology, "I'm so sorry. You're a leader, Uma. So am I. Come to Auradon and be part of the solution."
Heidi narrowed her eyes, Like Uma would ever accept that.
"Me? Part of your solution?" She laughed, "Nah. I don't need you. I'm gonna get there on my own." She turned around, "Harry!"
The girl walked away to do something, allowing Heidi to look around without getting glared at.
"Ben." Heidi said in a hushed tone.
"What?" He blinked as she held her finger to her mouth in a 'stay quiet' motion, "Oh, sorry…"
"I'm gonna try to get my ember back as soon as the moment presents itself. I'm not leaving without it." She said, glancing back at him before looking at Uma, "That is mine."
"Where is it?" He asked, looking at her as well as he could from his position.
Heidi grimaced, "In her necklace, around her neck. I could try and summon it to my position using a whistle, but she'd have to be very distracted." She said, shaking her head at the thought, "I'll stay and fight for it, though."
She stood up and pulled out a blindfold, "Gil, tie this around my eyes."
"Okay, wait, why?" He asked, though he already had the fabric over her eyes.
Heidi shrugged, "It'll look more impressive when Mal and Co. show up. And I'm sure Uma wants it to look like I'm her prisoner." She said, causing him to go 'oh' and quickly tie the blindfold for her. "Now, just...restrain me or something, make it look like you got me in a hold."
"Okay." He said with a shrug, holding onto her wrists in what would, probably, be a very painful hold for any normal person.
Now just to wait for them.
With Mal and Co.
"It's noon." Mal said, looking at her friends, "Ready?"
"Yeah." Several of them said, looks of determination on their faces.
"Let's do this." Mal said with a small smirk that disappeared as quick as it appeared.
Carlos looked back at Dude, "Stay! I mean it." The dog simply whined in reply as Carlos followed the others.
…
What they saw surprised them. Mainly because it was the least likely thing to happen during the rescue mission.
Not only was Ben being walked to his watery grave, a blind-folded Heidi was currently restrained by Gil and appeared to be in quite the pickle.
"Welcome!" Harry called out.
Uma laughed with a smile at the sight of them, "Finally!" She exclaimed as her pirates all 'wooed' in victory at the sight of Mal with the wand.
Mal looked at Uma as a thought entered her mind, Heidi, I know you wouldn't let them capture you, that's not how you did things around here. So what are you doing?
She was sure of one thing though, she was gonna have to fight for both of them. They agreed on Ben, not Heidi, and Mal had a feeling that Uma had something up her sleeve.
And she did not like it one bit.
