Sorry for the delay, but the first few weeks of school are always the worst.

Also there's this Hurricane Irma that's coming straight for my home, since I live in the Bahamas, so depending on how badly we get hit. I don't know when the next update will be. For any of my stories if you're following more than one.

Shoutout to PrettyRecklessLaura,zabieLOL, Kourtney Najjar, Layla347, and Guest reviewer for the support.


"I'll get these back to the gym," Lonnie said while carrying the bag of swords. "I'll see you later." She said to Jay.

"Thanks Lonnie." Evie told her just as Jane walked up with her tablet.

"Ben, Jay, there you guys are. The Cotillion's tonight. C'mere," she said gesturing for Ben to come closer and look at the tablet where a picture of the finished stain-glass window for Mal was. "Here's the surprise for Mal, isn't it beautiful? She's gonna love it." Jane gushed.

Ben thought for a moment before he turned to Mal. "You wanna cancel?" he asked her making her look to him in shock.

"I can come back, like really, really soon." Jane said trying to escape the tension.

"No, it's alright Mal's fine." Ben looked at the picture then back at Mal. "Do whatever you need to do." He told her and she nodded.

"Jay." Jane said gaining his attention next. "It's done." She said excitedly and Jay nodded.

"We need to talk." Ruby said grabbing Mal's hand and Evie went up on her other side wrapping her arm around her shoulder.

"Yeah." Mal agreed letting them lead her.

"No." Carlos suddenly said making them stop and turn around in shock.

"No?" Evie echoed confused.

"You guys are always going off in a huddle, whispering your girl talk. And Jay and I are tired of it." Carlos said looking to Jay for back-up.

"I'm not." Jay said shrugging.

Carlos sighed at his friend's unhelpfulness. "We're your family too. We've been through a lot. Together." Carlos stressed. "We're not stopping that now. Everyone sit." Carlos said plopping down onto the grass with Dude in his lap. "C'mon." he encouraged.

Slowly the rest of them sat down on the grass in a circle.

"I don't know how to start girl talk." Carlos confessed.

"What up?" Jay said breaking the silence and making Ruby and Evie laugh while Mal just signed.

"Well, um." Mal began shakily. "I'm a mess, I'm such a mess." She said starting to cry, Ruby reached over and grabbed her hand while Evie rubbed her shoulder. "I mean, six months ago I was you know, stealing candy from babies. And now everybody wants me to be this 'Lady of the Court' and I have no idea how to keep up the act."

"Then don't." Carlos said easily.

"See, this was dumb." Jay said beginning to stand.

"Maybe it wasn't." Ruby interrupted making him sit. "Guys, we're always going to be the kids from the Isle, nothing is going to change that."

"And I tried to forget," Evie added. "I really did, but those are our roots. And we all did what we had to do to survive."

"And it made us who we are." Ruby finished. "We are never going to be like everyone else here. And that's okay." She said squeezing Mal's hand. "That's okay."

"And we can't fake it." Carlos added.

"No." Evie agreed nodding.

"Especially without our spell book." Mal said sadly.

"Mal, if Ben doesn't love the real you." Carlos suddenly said. "Then he's not the one."

"I like that." Evie said agreeing.

"Give him a chance."

"I'm gonna' make some changes to your dress." Evie spoke to Mal. "And if you're up for it. Only if you're up for it, it'll be waiting for you. You too." She added to Ruby as she leaned over to hug Mal.

That seemed to be the end of their impromptu 'girl talk', as everyone stood to leave.

"You gonna' be okay?" Ruby asked Mal just before she stood to which Mal nodded and gave her one last squeeze before she stood and went over to Carlos.

Jay suddenly dropped down next to Mal.

"Come to the Cotillion tonight okay?" he said sighing. "If Ben's not smart enough to love you, and you can't stand another day. I'll drive you back tomorrow myself."

Mal let a small smile tug at her lips at his kindness as she nodded.

"And you should talk to Ruby," she told him in response. "She could really use you right now."

Jay nodded and gave her a pat on the shoulder before standing up and leaving.


"Ruby I really don't think this is a good idea." Carlos said begging as Ruby dragged him through the courtyard, dragged was used loosely since her could easily overpower her.

"Carlos the Cotillion's tonight, it's now or never."

"What if she says no?"

Ruby stopped and turned to face him. "Paraphrasing the words of a very wise boy, 'if she doesn't like you back, she's not the one."

Carlos smiled. "Thanks Ruby."

"You're welcome," she said returning his smile. "Now," she took Dude from him. "Go get her."

Carlos nodded and ran out from behind the bush to stop Jane in her path as she was on the phone going over last minute Cotillion details.

From there she listened to Carlos ask Jane to the Cotillion twice before she finally understood what he was saying, and said yes.

Carlos was still reeling when Ruby approached him again.

"Good boy." Dude praised.

Carlos laughed and rubbed his dogs head.

"She said yes." He said in awe.

"I knew she would." Ruby said shrugging as they began to walk through the courtyard.

"So are you coming tonight?"

"Of course."

"And after? Will you go back to the Isle?" Carlos asked timidly.

"I don't know. I need to think about it."

"What about you and Jay? Has he asked you to the Cotillion yet?"

"No he hasn't." Ruby said sighing.

"Cotillion's tonight!" Carlos said shocked. "And I know he's been getting-"

"Carlos," Ruby said interrupting him. "These things take time." Her phone rang then. "Here." She said handing him Dude. "Hey you. We were just talking about you."

"I need you right now." Jay urgently.

"Where are you?" Ruby asked.

A sharp whistle made her and Carlos look up to see Jay on the roof of the school waving his arms frantically.

"I have to go." She told Carlos hanging up her phone.

"Yeah you do."

"Hey," she said grabbing his hand. "I won't go anywhere without telling you first."

Carlos smiled and kissed her cheek. "Get up there."

"I'll see you later." She said grinning then running off.


"I need your opinion." Jay said when she finally came through the doors and onto the roof.

"On what?"

"On which one you think I should wear." He said bringing his hand out from behind his back to reveal his different colour beanies.

Ruby giggled. "And why would you need those?"

"Because you're going to look beautiful no matter what you're wearing to the Cotillion. So I wanna look good."

Ruby looked at him in shock for a moment before it registered and she smiled. "Well I've never been asked to a Cotillion." She said taking the beanie's from him. "But this almost seems like and invitation." She held each one up by his head to see how they looked. "You know what?" she said putting them aside and taking off the beanie he currently had on. "I think a Cotillion calls for something a bit more classy." She said pushing his hair back and holding it in a bun on the back of his. "If this is an invitation."

Jay smiled and grabbed both her hands in his. "Ruby," he began. "Iracebeth." He said cheekily grinning. "Will you please be my date to the Cotillion?"

"It would be my honor." Ruby answered smiling hard.

"Really?"

"Yeah."

She then noticed something on his hand that was still holding hers. It was his tourney ring, only there was something different. "Jay?"

He looked down at his hand, then began explaining. "When we won championships, and all the guys got their rings. We got to pick what jewel we wanted. Most of the guys picked their mom's birthstone or something. Or something special like that. But I didn't know what I wanted. Then I thought of you and I thought of how special you are to me." He twirled the ring around.

"Is that, a ruby?" She gasped.

"Yeah." He nodded. "Ruby when you left I realized something, and seeing the way Harry Hook looked at you made me understand what it was." He took a deep breathe. "I love you. And I want you to be my girlfriend." He said taking off the ring and placing it on her index finger. "For as long as you'll have me."

"Jay, I love you too." She said tearing up. "Of course I'll be your girlfriend."

Jay cheered and wrapped his arms around her in a hug easily picking her up and spinning around. He put her down and suddenly turned serious.

"Look, I told Mal, that after tonight, if she still wants to go back to the Isle, I'd take her. Without question. And I want you to know, I'll do the same for you. But you have to promise me something."

"Anything."

"Promise me that if you decide to go back with Mal, you won't leave me behind."

"I promise."

Jay smiled and tugged her closer to him by her waist making her gasp, then grin before he leaned in pressing his lips against hers and she eagerly responded.


"Evie," Ruby gasped. "It's gorgeous."

The dress Evie had made for her was red of course, floor length gown with gold embellishments around the neck and waistline and a cape draping down the back. Her hair was braided to the side and rested over her shoulder with little jewels woven in. On her feet her boots matched her dress, except the heels we checker board as a little nod to her biological mother.

"It is, and so are you." Evie said, she was too, already in her dress. A blue sequin number with matching red gloves and the barrette that Dizzy gave her. Mal was in the bathroom getting ready.

"You really do have a gift." Ruby complimented and Evie smiled.

"Thank you. There's one more thing." Evie said helping her down from the platform and leading her over to the bed where they sat and Evie pulled a box onto her lap. "Listen, I know that you've been feeling kind of like you don't belong, and I think I know why."

"You do?" Ruby asked confused since she didn't really know herself.

"Yeah. I think it's because, you never knew who your mom was. The rest of us had at least one parent in our lives, no matter how bad they were. But, you never knew the Red Queen."

"I guess that could be true." Ruby nodded realizing that, that could very well be the case. "But it's not so bad. I got a great family out of it, and two really awesome sisters. But I can't lie. I have wonder what Wonderland is like."

Evie smiled ducking her head slightly. "Because of that, I made these for you." She said opening the box, and inside sat a crown like that of her mothers and a pair of gloves, that were red and black and had checkered symbols on them.

"Evie their really pretty." Ruby said sincerely. "Help me put it on?" She gesturing to the crown Evie nodded and placed the crown on Ruby's head so that it was titled to the side while Ruby put on the gloves.

"Perfect." Evie praised and Ruby pulled her into a tight hug.

Then the bathroom door opened and they both stood as Mal came out.

"Whoa." They both gaped. Mal's hair was also braided to the side, her dress was the Auradon colours of blue and gold, matching her shoes and the cape flowing down her back.

"You guys look great." Mal said gesturing to them both. Then they rushed her, Evie touching up her hair and dress slightly while Ruby helped her put her accessories on.

"Hey," Ruby said getting Mal's attention and taking her hand. "No matter what happens tonight. I'm with you no matter what."

Mal nodded and pressed their foreheads together.

"Ladies," Evie said approaching them with Mal's tiara in hand. "It's time." Ruby nodded and together they carefully placed the tiara on Mal's head adjusting it just right.

"You ready?" Evie question and Mal nodded taking both their hands in hers and Evie lead them all out of the room where they met up with everyone and made their way to the ship which the Cotillion was being held on.

They were all in for an incredible night, they just didn't know it.

The Villain's Kids first Cotillion was going to be one they won't soon forget.


I know I said this chapter was going to be the Cotillion, but once I started with this I couldn't stop. But I'm glad with how it turned out.

There was some Jay/Ruby, some Ruby/Evie and even some Ruby/Carlos that no one asked for.

So, its Cotillion time, what would you guys like to see.

Dragon Ruby?

Two-headed Dragon Mal/Ruby?

What do you think is next for Ruby and Jay?

As always, let me know what you think.

P.S.
