Hey guys! Welcome to the one year time skip chapters! This first chapter is set up a bit strange, and all bold text, in the beginning, is Heidi narrating. I don't think I'll have more than three of these time skip chapters, but we'll see.

In other news, I have managed to acquire all but one of the Descendants books. Thankfully, now I don't have to try and transcribe D3 since I got the novel version. This means that the D3 chapters will come much faster than I initially anticipated!

I've been trying to learn how to write longer chapters, I've been told people actually like long chapters so here's hoping you guys like this. That's part of the reason it took so long, the other reason is school, and that's self-explanatory.

Also! People! Give me something you would like to see! I don't know what to write for the next chapters right now. I'm thinking...Waterpark at Triton's Bay. Not just to see what happens to Heidi in a waterpark, it's mostly that reason, but because of...swimsuits. Yes, swimsuits. Also, Heidi is 6'0. I am just saying this for future reference for both you and me.

Emmettluver2010 : I can't wait, either! I am so excited to write these chapters and D3!

Guest : I think she'd be pretty shocked, seeing as she still hates Mal, but I think she'd get over it fast since Heidi is nothing like Mal, in her eyes at least.

danifan3000 : Audrey is worried since she grew up with her whole future planned out. She fears that since she's not becoming queen, she's already disappointed them. Dating Heidi? It's like a knife to the heart. I envision that while her parents don't disown her, they are still disappointed that she'd "throw away her life" to be with Heidi. Who is, ironically, technically higher than the royals in importance seeing as she's a goddess. They'll get over it though. As for Chad? I think it would be correct to assume that he has gotten dumber with each movie. I support that claim as a professional Chad basher.

Outfits are from the 1 year time skip. They are Outfit #1 for Heidi and Outfit #1 for Audrey, go check out the links on my profile! If anyone has trouble with them PM me and I'll see what I can do.

I don't own Descendants, only Heidi.


It's been three months since Cotillion, three months since Audrey and I became a thing. Our relationship surprised many. Nobody thought that the Daughter of Hades and the Daughter of Sleeping Beauty would hang out in public much less date. Mal and Evie weren't surprised, I have a feeling those two knew all along, but Carlos and Jay...

"You two are dating?"

"I can't believe it…"

Both of them just stared at the goddess with huge eyes and gaping mouths.

"Uh, yes?"

They were just as surprised as everyone else. Though, the ones who were the most surprised, and, unfortunately, the most disappointed...were Audrey's family. They always envisioned her marrying a prince and living in a castle. The good life as they put it. She wasn't disowned like she feared, Leah almost fainted, but Audrey's parents seemed a tad more stable. Sadly, they said that they didn't support the relationship. This broke Audrey's heart. She took it a bit harder than I did...

Heidi allowed the princess to lean on her as their ride drove them back to Auradon. The goddess looked down at the girl snuggled up to her. She was sobbing as quietly as she could, occasionally muttering, "I thought they wanted me to be happy..."

Heidi closed her eyes and began running her fingers through the princess's long hair, "Shh...I know, I know." She whispered, "Just give them time, they're in shock, they'll change their minds."

She rubbed her tears away, "Y-You think so?"

Heidi nodded, "I do, I think they just have to...learn to accept. In time they will realize what they have said, and they will come to welcome this." She opened her eyes, "I do not doubt this."

Audrey sat up, a small smile on her face as she looked at the bluenette, "Thank you."

My dad on the other hand…

Hades pulled off his sunglasses, "You are dating a princess?"

Heidi nodded with a smirk, "Yes I am."

He laughed and grinned, "Does this mean you'll be able to convince them to bring the barrier down?"

"No dad, only the king can do that." Heidi stated dryly, prompting Hades to shrug and slide his sunglasses back on.

"Eh, what can I say? It was worth a try."

Heidi could only shake her head in exasperation as he began playing a tune on his guitar.

...I think he supported it? I never know with him. What am I forgetting? Hmm...Oh! That's right! I bought Audrey her own cute little cottage a couple of miles away from Auradon Prep with my earnings from Celecreation. It turns out I had a ton of money that I didn't even know existed.

Heidi held open the door for the princess as she walked in, "This is…" Audrey breathed out as Heidi slinked in behind her.

"I know how much you always enjoyed spending time in your family's cottage, so I tried finding something like it near the school." Heidi explained as she looked around, "I know it's not the same-"

Audrey cut her off as she hugged her, "I love it."

Speaking of Celecreation, business has been booming after pictures of Audrey wearing the jewelry I gave her surfaced. We still aren't sure who took the pictures though, I could have sworn that all the reporters at Cotillion "disappeared" after Uma began causing terror. Anyway, I have partnered with Evie and her business Evie's 4 Hearts for a couple collections here and there ever since she learned that I can get any jewel she wants.

Heidi walked into Evie's workshop and smiled, "You've got a thing going here, don't you?" She looked at all the different outfits that were either completed or in the process of being made.

Evie smiled and got up from her sewing machine, "Isn't it great? I can't believe I'd ever be able to own such a place." She said as Heidi chuckled.

"Even if it is just a starter castle?" Heidi joked as Evie laughed.

"Even if it's just a starter castle." She looked at the large box in Heidi's hands, "Did you bring them?"

Heidi nodded, "Five crowns, five bracelets, five sets of earrings, and seven necklaces." She said as she set the box down, "Why didn't you just order them in sets?"

Evie smiled, "I did. I ordered four sets for the business, an extra set for myself and two custom necklaces."

Heidi blinked, "Ah...That must be why the box has the custom sticker. I never make the deliveries though, so I'm quite clueless." She shrugged as Evie pulled out each piece of jewelry.

Evie glanced up, "Then the demon deliveries are real?" She asked, clearly curious about that.

The goddess chuckled, "Oh, yeah. The demons are free labor, so that's how we can cut down on costs. My dad employed them all back during his reign, and he told them that they'd all have to obey me when I was a child. It turns out they are so scared of my dad; they do whatever I ask of them."

"Oh."

Heidi couldn't tell if that 'Oh' was in horror or shock.

I think that's everything, I really should have wrote this down, knowing me I probably forgot something. Now that I have brought you up to speed, shall we move onto the story?


The sound of a piano echoed through the house, waking up the sleeping princess.

"Who's playing the piano?" She mumbled, rubbing the sleepiness out of her eyes and getting out of bed.

Slipping on her pink robe, she opened the door to her room and descended down the stairs. The sounds of the piano grew louder as she stepped into the main living area.

Audrey blinked in surprise, Heidi can play the piano?

Sure enough, Heidi was the one on the piano and seemed to be quite good at it.

Audrey silently took a seat, listening to the melody. It sounded mournful yet hopeful, a complete contrast of human emotions. She gazed at Heidi's hands that were moving masterfully, hitting each note at the right time to create such a hypnotizing sound.

As Heidi played the last few notes, she took a deep breath and folded her hands into her lap.

The princess slowly stood up, the sound of her footsteps surprising the bluenette who whipped around, "Did I wake you?" Heidi asked, getting off the piano bench and pushing it in before meeting her.

"It's fine." She waved off Heidi's concerns before looking at the piano, "I didn't know you could play."

Heidi smiled, "I've been playing for as long as I could remember, I played the piano daily so I didn't have to listen to the sounds of the Underworld. When I was six, my dad found the soul of a famous piano player and tossed him back up just so the piano player could teach me. Turns out the souls didn't attack him as much when I played the piano." The goddess explained, laughing a little as Audrey shot her an amused look.

"Well, at least I know why you bought a piano, you confused me when you brought that in yesterday." Audrey gestured to the large black grand piano.

"Heh, yeah." Heidi scratched the back of her head, "So, what do you want to do today? I already got my music hour done and I don't have anything else planned." She rubbed her chin, "Plus it's Saturday and I've got nothing better to do."

Audrey paused in thought before looking at what Heidi had on, "First things first-" She pointed towards the stairs, "-Get dressed."

Heidi raised an eyebrow, "What about you?"

Audrey took her robe off, revealing she had gotten dressed at some unseen point, "I'm already dressed."

The goddess jawdropped, a dumbfounded look on her face, "When did you…How did you...What?"

The princess smirked, "I get dressed fast, now go." She gave Heidi a helpful nudge in the direction of the staircase as the goddess seemed incapable of doing anything other than gaping.

Heidi shook her head, "That doesn't even make any sense!" She grumbled as she climbed up the staircase.

Audrey giggled as she walked over to a mirror, looking at the pink dress she had on, "I'm a princess, it doesn't have to make sense." She said to herself as she opened the jewelry box she kept on the living room.

Audrey had jewelry boxes in all of the main rooms, and each held either casual or formal pieces. Her collection contained mostly bracelets and earrings while she had a separate closet for her crowns. Yes, a closet.

She pulled out a diamond bracelet and put it on before picking out a pair of small diamond studs.

As Audrey put them in, Heidi let out a yelp. The princess turned around in time to see Heidi falling down the stairs and landing on her behind with a wince.

"Ow." Heidi mumbled, jumping up and rubbing her lower back, "Did I ever mention how much I hate stairs?"

Audrey raised an eyebrow, "You've mentioned it five times this week." She commented as she finished putting the last earring in, "Why do you continue to go up and down them? Just teleport for goodness sake."

The bluenette walked over, a pout on her face as she folded her arms, "That would be too easy."

Audrey rolled her eyes as she looked at what Heidi was wearing, "Woah, what are you wearing?" She asked as she placed her hands on her hips.

Heidi looked down at her dress, "...I liked dressing up as a pirate so I bought this." She admitted, doing a spin as a smirk appeared on her face.

Audrey stared at her in exasperation, "You definitely resemble one…" She said dryly, tilting her head to the side, "I'm thinking…" She held up her fingers, "Pearls."

"Pearls?" Heidi repeated, confusion heavy in her voice as Audrey picked out a pair of pearl earrings.

"Pirates and pearls, it's a good combination." Audrey said as she handed the earrings to her.

Heidi accepted them and put them in, "If you say so."

"I know so. Pirates and pearls are both connected to the ocean. Pearls are the treasure under the waves while pirates are those who sail the seas in search of treasure." Audrey said while closing her jewelry box.

"That was beautiful." Heidi commented, a cheeky smile on her face.

"Thank you. Now, I need to go to the mall and find a few things. My personal stylist quit on me." Audrey said as she folded her arms and frowned.

"Uh, that's like the fourth one." Heidi said as she looked bewildered at the princess.

"It's not my fault they can't do their job! How hard is it to find pale pink shoes covered in diamonds and crystals?" She exclaimed, grabbing her white purse that also had diamonds and crystals decorating it.

Heidi looked at her in a deadpan, "If I didn't know better, I'd say you have a diamond addiction." Heidi offered Audrey her arm.

Audrey linked hers with the goddess's. "I do not." She said, looking at her with a playful glare, "Let's go."

"Aye aye, princess." Heidi said with a laugh.

"You better not do that pirate thing all day." Audrey said, rolling her eyes as Heidi only laughed some more.


Heidi skillfully held the countless bags of shoes, clothing, and purses as she followed Audrey through the mall. "Anything else you need?" Heidi asked the princess who just kept looking at store after store of expensive goodies.

"Let me think-Ooh!" She immediately ran towards a store called Gwenaëlle's.

Heidi followed her in, watching as Audrey looked at the most blinged out shoes the goddess had ever seen. "Wow, those are definitely…"

"Beautiful?" Audrey asked, holding up a pair of rose gold high heels that had butterfly wings at the ankles.

"I was gonna say sparkly but sure, let's go with that." Heidi responded dryly as the princess ran off to find an attendant.

The goddess looked back at the shoes that were on display, and her eyes stopped at a pair of six-inch high heels. The heels were super glittery and had this ombre effect that went from royal blue to aqua.

Audrey walked back over with a shoebox, "See something you like?" She asked, noticing that Heidi seemed to be staring at something.

Heidi gestured to the sparkly blue high heels and Audrey blinked before smiling, "Hey, those would look good on you! Can you walk in them?" Heidi nods, "Perfect! I thought you'd never grow out of…" She looked her over, "Well, that."

Audrey called over the attendant, "I'd also like to buy those in a size ten." She said to him and he nodded before walking away towards the back of the store.

Heidi raised an eyebrow, "You're just going to buy those for me? You don't even know the price." The goddess tilted her head as Audrey looked at the price tag.

"Hm, five thousand." She didn't notice Heidi's eyes widen, "Those are cheaper than mine, mine are seven thousand." Audrey said, looking back at the bluenette, "No worries."

"How is five thousand not a lot to you?" Heidi asked, shock written all over her face.

Audrey shrugged, "Between my allowance and your booming business, we've had a lot of money coming in. People are paying more than you think ever since you did that collection with Evie." The princess explained as the attendant returned with the box and handed it to her, "Besides, you need some more formal shoes. I can't keep taking you to formal events if you wear boots to them. Plus they'd make your legs look good." She said with a wink.

Heidi sighed before smiling at her, "Well, if you are so determined to get me those, who am I to say no?"

Audrey smiled back at her before walking towards the check out area...until she stopped at more royal blue heels. The princess picked up a pair of four-inch heels that had a decorated heel. She quickly waved the attendant over again and pointed at said heels before pointing at two more.

Heidi walked over and looked at her in exasperation, "Audrey...did you just pick out more shoes for me?"

Audrey blinked innocently, "They were on sale. All three pairs I picked out were five hundred each and they were cute." She made it to the checkout area as the attendant walked back up with the three other boxes.

Heidi blinked with a blank expression, "You know what? I'm going to drop all of...this, off at the cottage. Something tells me we aren't done yet." She said as she set the shoebox, she was holding onto on the counter before teleporting away.

The attendant looked shocked at this but Audrey just smiled, "That's her thing." She handed the man her credit card as he scanned each box.

He turned the screen so she could see the price, "I'm glad Heidi didn't see that total." She said as she blinked at the number of zeros before shrugging and smiling. The princess then gave him the a-okay and he put the five boxes into two large glittery bags and handed them to her.

Audrey was walking out as Heidi appeared at her side, "Where to next?" Heidi asked as she took the bags.

Audrey faced her, "We are going to find you some dresses." She grabbed Heidi's hand as the goddess blanched.

"Uh, do we really need to?" Heidi asked as Audrey began to drag her along towards one of her favorite stores.

The princess nodded, "Yep, we need to expand your wardrobe."

"Why? Are we...um, going to be doing something?" Heidi asked as they got closer and closer to the high-end store. What's with Audrey and high-end clothing stores?!

Audrey looked back at her with a smirk, a smirk that was both beautiful yet that of a troublemaker, "I have plenty of things planned. That's why we're doing your shopping today."

Heidi gulped, "What time does this mall close again?"

"9 O'clock. It's…" She looked at her phone, "Noon. That gives us nine hours to fix you!" She exclaimed with a massive smile.

Heidi gaped as her eyes went huge, Someone save me, I'm at the hands of a shopping addicted princess! She thought, inwardly weeping at the idea of shopping for nine hours straight.


When the two finally made it back it was around 11:00 since Audrey wanted to go for, you guessed it, high-end dining at one of the best restaurants in town.

Heidi collapsed onto the sofa as Audrey took off her jewelry, except for her necklace of course, and looked at Heidi in amusement, "Pearls." She held out her hand and Heidi took the earrings off.

"Pearls." The goddess repeated, closing her eyes as she covered them with her arm.

Audrey shook her head as she let out a small laugh. She closed her jewelry box and stood in front of the sofa, "Don't hog the sofa." She said, whacking Heidi on the arm to make her sit up.

"Next time just sit on me, the sofa is all mine." Heidi said with a chuckle, peering at the princess who rolled her eyes. "You have your zone I have mine, and this sofa is mine."

"Uh, huh." Audrey said as she looked into the woman's eyes before tilting her head, "Have you always had those little gold flecks?" She asked, I don't remember her having those before she left. They are...rather beautiful.

"In my eyes?" Audrey nodded as she finally sat down, using Heidi as a seat rather than the sofa, "Those are...a recent development, I guess you could say. They appeared after four years down in the Underworld. I don't pay too much attention to them. They don't usually glow enough to be seen, so it's understandable if you've never seen them." She explained, shrugging her shoulders with a nonchalant look.

"Ah, that explains it." Audrey nodded while looking up in thought before placing her hands on Heidi's shoulders, "It's late, I'm heading to bed." She said, silently asking the goddess if she would join her.

"I'm not that tired, but…" Heidi stretched, "I'll be up in a few minutes." The goddess said, tilting her head, "Go ahead and grab me a pair of PJs."

Audrey smiled before turning around and heading up the stairs towards their room. She entered and saw that Kirby was passed out on the floor, his paws kicking through the air as if he was chasing after something.

The princess giggled at the sight of it, I can't believe I find a three-headed puppy adorable now. Then again… She looked at the nearest mirror, gazing at the necklace Heidi had given her that wonderful day, I never thought I'd date her.

Audrey heard a crash from the bottom of the stairs followed by a, "Damn stairs!"

Heidi practically crawled up the last few stairs, a big bruise already forming on her cheek, "Why do I keep doing this?" She muttered from her place on the floor.

"You are stubborn, that's why." Audrey answered as she pulled out a white top that said "Princess!" on it as well as a pair of pink fluffy pajama pants.

Heidi grumbled something as Audrey tossed her a dark blue tank top and black shorts. The clothes landed on the bluenette's head, causing Heidi to shake her head in an attempt to get them off. "Thanks." Heidi mumbled as she pried herself off of the floor.

Audrey quickly got changed and walked out to see an already dressed Heidi petting Kirby's belly as the dog barked happily.

"You got changed fast." Audrey said as Heidi looked up with a smile.

"I've been taking notes from you." The goddess joked, patting Kirby on the head, "Alright, time to go to bed." She picked him up and put him on his blue dog bed that seemed to be made for a much larger dog.

The dog quickly went to sleep, Heidi trained him well. Audrey thought, watching Heidi put her long blue hair into two pigtails.

The princess got on her bed and laid down as she wrapped herself in a soft pink blanket. She felt the other woman sit down. Heidi seemed to pause for a moment or so before laying down as well.

A little known fact about Heidi was that the goddess generated so much heat that she could keep someone warm for hours on end. Heidi had claimed that this was just her heat generation abilities, but Audrey didn't entirely believe her. If she could do that the entire time, how had the princess not noticed it sooner?

Heidi chuckled at the look on Audrey's face, "That brain of yours needs to go to bed too, y'know." She said softly, bringing the girl out of her thoughts.

"Like you're much better, you stay awake most of the night. I have no doubt that you are thinking about something when that happens." Audrey responded dryly, curling up in her blanket and facing away from the bluenette.

Heidi shook her head with a smile, pulling the princess closer to her much larger frame, "Oh I'm thinking about something alright…"

Audrey blushed as she smacked Heidi's hand, "Cut that out!"

"Right, right, I forget that the princess is trying to sleep. My apologies." Heidi said, sarcasm lacing each word as she laughed, "Sweet dreams."

And then she fell asleep in the other woman's warm embrace.
