Lizzie's POV
I smirked walking through the bazaar on the lookout for anything actually worth stealing, I've already pocketed some odd little charms that I'd spotted at the jewelry cart that looked like little top hats and I was going to turn them into earrings as well as some new fabric to mend some of my old clothes or to make a new top.
"Mm having fun princess?" I turned around seeing Harry behind me, I glared at him and grabbed the lapel of his jacket, he'd gotten a new one after he had lost his old one in the adventure for Uma's necklace and this one was actually one of this fathers old red leather coats.
"Don't call me princess" I growled at him.
"Whatever you say princess" my eyes hardened at his smirk before I shoved him away.
"Come on, we were both supposed to be at the Chip Shoppe twenty minutes ago"
"Lead the way captain" I smirked at him nodding my head before I headed off for pirates alley strolling down it watching as everyone cowered and moved out of our way and those that didn't move fast enough was shoved out of the way by Harry making me smile as he was like my body guard, he shoved a guy carrying a laundry basket out of our way as we continued down the alleyway and even took a scarf from one of the vendors. "Fer yeh" he held it out towards me, I smirked taking it from him but it was ghastly so I threw it at someone's face earning a laugh from both of us before we walked onto the dock heading to the Chip Shoppe but Harry stopped looking at a fisher on the dock and used his hook to pick up her catches smirking at the poor thing before he took them as we headed inside.
We pulled out our swords from their sheaths and checked it into the sword check barrel by the door before we headed towards the back of the store, Harry quickly passed off the fish to the cook as he passed her then shoved Jonas aside placing his hook on the table before he jumped up onto the table walking to the other side then dropped down to the ground and turned the TV on which immediately showed a picture of the traitor Mal with her new blonde hair...princess, I scoffed jumping up to sit on the table crossing my legs.
"Hey" Jonas immediately walked over, a cocky and confidant smirk playing at his lips making me roll my eyes at his clear attempt to flirt. "Let's you and I hang out sometime?" I raised an eye at him before shaking my head.
"Not today Joanny" I told him tapping his cheek with a smirk when I watched his face fall before I spun around on the table letting my legs dangle off the other side before I hopped down beside Harry just as Uma came out of the kitchen dropping a tray in front of Harry and I and Harry being Harry grabbed it pulling over to him to start eating while I quickly grabbed some chips before he could eat it all but Uma quickly snagged a piece of fish from the tray and tossed it towards the TV screen and I smirked as it slopped right over Mal's face.
It's been six months since those traitors renounced evil and two months since our chance at freedom had been taken from us by the very same traitors when we'd gone after the trident only to have Mal steal it right out from under us.
"Poser" Uma spat turning back to us and leant her hands on the table.
"Turncoat" I added with a glare at the screen.
"Traitor!" Harry exclaimed still eating away.
"Hello!" Uma and I yelled to the crew when they didn't agree with us and their response was to throw whatever food they had at the screen behind us.
"Oh I would love to wipe the smiles off their faces" Harry said wiping some of the food off the screen with his finger licking it off making me shake my head at him with a smile. "You know what I mean?" he smirked towards me.
"Gil, you wanna stop choking down yolks and get with the program" Uma spat at Gil who was oblivious, he gulped disgustingly.
"Yeah what they said" I rolled my eyes at him.
"That little traitor" Uma spat angrily talking about Mal.
"Who left us in the dark" I added towards the crew.
"Who turned her back on evil" Harry cut in holding up a chip covered in sauce.
"Who said you guys weren't big or bad enough to be in her gang" Gil spoke up behind us and Uma and I turned to him with a glare as the rest of the crew stared at him clearly questioning his sanity right now. "Back when we were kids" my eyes narrowed at him for continuing. "Come on you guys remember, she called Uma shrimpy and the name just kind of...stuck" I put my hand out stopping Harry's move towards him to defend us.
"That snooty little witch you grabbed everything she wanted and left us nothing" Uma said turning to me.
"No she left you guys that sandbox and then she said you could have the shrimp-"
"We need you to stop talking!" I exclaimed slamming my fist against the table glaring at Gil, he was digging his own grave at the moment.
"Look we have her turf now" Harry cut in grabbing my arm turning me towards him. "They can stay in Bore-a-don" he waved his hand in the air.
"Harry that's her turf now!" Uma argued pointed at the Tv before turning it off.
"And we want it to" I growled out angrily.
"We should not be getting her leftovers" Uma added and I nodded.
"Son of Hook" I smirked over at Harry putting my arm over his shoulder.
"Son of Gaston" Uma stated over at Gil putting hers around him before we looked at each other with smirks and wrapped our other arms around each other. "And us most of all, Daughters of Ursula-"
"And the Queen of Hearts" I smirked before I turned to Harry. "What's my name?" he smiled and removed his hat holding it to his chest and he knelt forwards.
"Lizzie"
"What's my name?" Uma asked turning to Gil.
"Mm...Uma?" he replied through a mouthful of yolks, Uma and I turned to each other with smirks.
[{Italic Bold: Uma and/or Lizzie}{Italic: Harry}{Italic Bold Underlined: All}]
"What's our names, what's our names?"
"Uma" half the group called out while the others yelled "Lizzie"
"This is all hands on deck" Uma sang and we all smiled hitting our fists down on the table. "Calling out to lost boys and girls I'm getting tired of the disrespect, we won't stop till we rule the world it's our time were up next, next…our sails about to be set"
"They ain't seen nothing yet…" I sang beside Uma as the crew danced around us.
"Tell 'em who's in charge so they don't forget" we sang together. "What's my name, what's my name…"
"Uma" "Lizzie"
"Say it louder" I sang and looked down at Harry as he kneeled before Uma and I making me smile at him.
"What's my name?" – Uma.
"What's my name?" – Lizzie.
"Uma" "Lizzie"
"Feel the power, no one's gonna stop us soon the world will be ours" Uma sang as some of the crew lifted her up to stand on top of the table. "What's our names, what's our names, what's it, what's it say it louder!"
"Uuuuu...ma" "Lizzzz...ie"the crew yelled out before the crew except Harry and I dropped to their bellies and break danced like snakes as Harry and I had jumped up and were standing beside Uma as they continued to sing drawing out our names.
"What's it, what's it say it?"
"Uuuuma...Lizzzie" we sang and I jumped down off the table after Harry with him catching me as I did a crazy trust jump and he of course anticipated this from me and spun me around a little before setting me on my feet as the crew continued to sing out our names.
"Were the queens of this town" I sang pushing through the crew. "We call the shots, you know who we are, no need to wear no fake crown, stand up to us ya don't stand a chance" I knocked one of the crews hat off and he glared at me since you don't mess with a pirates hat but Harry walked up behind him and used his hook to turn the guys face away from me as I stole his sword while I was at it. "It's our time were up next"
"Next, next" the crew sang out.
"Our crews as real as it gets, the worsts are now the best" Uma and I sang together smiling at each other. "And leaving us here will be their last regret" we added with Harry singing it with us as he ran his hook down the edge of my sword.
"What's our names, what's our names?"
"Uma" "Lizzie"
"Say it louder, what's our names, what's our names?!"
"Uma" "Lizzie"
"Feel the power, no one's gonna stop us soon the world will be ours" Uma and I sang with Uma being lifted up on her shell throne while I lifted up in a chair made just for me, a chair almost identical to Uma's in look but instead of the shells and blue it was painted gold with a red crown on the top of it, they carried us around before placing our thrones at the front of the runway stage where harry was standing. "What's our names, what's our names, what's it, what's it, say it, say it?"
"You know what they say bad girls have all the fun, never learned to count cause I'm number one" Harry sang after shedding his red leather duster throwing it into the crew while he moved towards us down the runway. "Ready here we come we always get our way it's a pirates life every single day!" I smiled at him as he spun around. "Hey their the captains and I'm the first mate, enemy's seasick can't think straight call 'em fish bait throw 'em on a hook, Lizzie's so hot they get burned if they look" I rolled my eyes as he dropped to the ground in front of us and grabbed my hand holding it up to his lips practically ready to kiss it but I pulled it out of his grasp jumping up to stand up next to Uma on our thrones.
"It's all eyes on us, let us see 'em" we sang and two of the boys from the crew lifted us up out of the throne and stood us on a table. "I see your eyes on us boys, hey!"we smiled at each other. "You know what our names are!" we jumped down and ran up onto the stage. "Say it, say it louder!" we sang loudly as I turned to Harry next to us and hooked my finger around his Hook pulling him towards me.
"Hook me" I sang and he laughed manically before kneeling down with the rest of the crew surrounding us as me made dance movements like waves with our hands timed perfectly with Uma and I in the middle.
"Come on, what's my name, what's my name?" Uma sang.
"Uma" they all sang out jumping off the stage.
"What's my name, what's my name?" I sang smiling.
"Lizzie" they all sang.
"Feel the power, no one's gonna stop us soon the world will be ours"Uma and I sang as Harry came up to us and I smiled running my hand through his hair yanking on it a little. "What's our names, what's our names?"
"Uuuu…ma" "Lizzz...iee"
"Say it louder" Uma and I sang while everyone kept drawing out our names. "Ooh say it louder, what's it, what's it say it, say it" we jumped off the stage once again, a few of the crew swinging on the chandlers while Uma was lifted up onto the table to sit on Gil's legs being pulled across the table practically riding Gil who was netted up before Harry suddenly jumped off the stage and pulled me aside quickly twirling me around as everyone continued to sing our names before Harry lifted me up onto the table where our thrones had been moved up onto the table and I smirked sitting down in mine next to Uma in hers before we all stopped singing sharing a laugh.
I watched as Desiree quickly grabbed Harry's hat and handed it to him before he came towards me and held out his hand for me to take, I smiled slapping my hand in his as he smirked back helping me stand up just as a large purple tentacle came out of the kitchen and swiped at us making everyone duck and Uma and I had to jump over it.
"Shut your clam!" Ursula yelled.
"Mom!" Uma yelled back.
"These dishes aren't gonna wash themselves"
"It's fine, its fine" Uma argued to everyone else when the tentacle slithered back into the kitchen.
"Because when we get out chance to rain down the evil on Auradon we will take it" I added nodding my head.
"They're gonna forget that girl and remember the names-"
"Shrimpy!" Gil exclaimed cutting Uma off, Uma glared at him before nodding her head to the door which Harry understood immediately as a cue to escort Gil out for the time being and he knelt against the table smiling at Gil who understood what it meant.
"Uh-huh" Harry nodded at him seeing his look then grabbed his shoulder and headed for the door pushing him out of the batwing doors, I watched him start walking back in but he stopped walking back out and I saw Gil take a seat on the step shaking my head at him, it was cruel kicking him out but sometimes so necessary. "So, wanna go collect the taxes with me?" Harry suddenly smirked.
"Why would I, we have you for that"
"Aye yeh do" he smirked before he left and I saw him kick Gil off the step making me shake my head at him before I turned around in my chair coming face to face with Uma who was smirking.
"What?"
"Oh please, you two are sickening"
"What are you talking about?" I asked rolling my eyes at her as I pulled out my sketchpad from my knapsack along with my mended color pencils.
"You know exactly what I'm talking about Liz, when are you gonna tell him?" I frowned shaking my head.
"I have no idea what you mean" I argued flipping through my book, it was full of clothes designs and other fashion ideas, Evie and Dizzy weren't the only ones that knew their way around making clothes and accessories, my mother owned a salon after all and I'd spent my childhood working there until recently.
"Yeah I'm sure you don't, you should know though he feels the same way" she said before disappearing to wait more tables, I frowned shaking my head since she had no idea what she was talking about since there was no way I had feelings for Harry or he for me, it was just crazy...mad as a hatter crazy since villains don't, can't love.
I continued on a sketch that I'd started last night given I barely slept these days, nightmares plagued my every rested moment of my mother and her cardstock goons, I've been terrified of her wrath from me leaving the mansion and becoming a part of a pirate crew since she'd made it quite clear that she hated my choice and who I had chosen to associate with which is why I could never let myself fell love, 'love is a wasted emotion, my child' she used to remind me and I knew she would murder me where I stood if she found out I'd even thought about being with someone which is why it would just never happen.
"Hey Uma, what do you think?" I suddenly asked showing Uma when she came over, it was an idea that had come to me a few weeks ago, it was a teal blue mermaid dress with shell and oceanic decorations.
"Why would you need a dress like that for?"
"I wasn't going to make it, it just came to me and I thought it'd look cool and it'd definitely suit you" I rolled my eyes dropping my sketchpad on the table before I grabbed my knapsack and put it back inside before I stood. "I gotta go get my highlights redone, I'll see you later"
"No wonder Harry calls you a princess" Uma laughed, I rolled my eyes.
"Like you don't go pamper yourself to a hair salon appointment with Dizzy every now and then, after all she did come up with the idea of your braids didn't she?"
"Don't remind me" she scoffed making me laugh before I left heading to the Curl Up & Dye, I walked in ignoring the sign that stated they didn't open until midnight since that was when Lady Tremaine was working but I was after Dizzy and I found her exactly where she always is sweeping the floors.
"Hey Diz" I spoke up announcing my presence.
"Lizzie!" she exclaimed always excited.
"Hey kid, can you fit me in for a re-dye?" she nodded her head quickly and pointed to one of the chairs over the bathtub which were always uncomfortable but what did you expect to be honest.
"Not after anything different?" she asked me.
"Nah, you don't mess with perfection" I argued and she laughed before quickly getting to work washing my hair in the bathtub then started applying the dye before making me sit in the drying chair where I had to sit with that weird dome over my head which dried my hair sealing the new color into my hair. "So I've got some more sketches for you" I showed her my sketches and she liked to show me hers, Dizzy might be friends with the traitors and she was was one of the kindest people on the Isle which wasn't something you wanted to show on your sleeve but Dizzy and I shared a common interest.
"So how's your crew?" she asked.
"As big and bad as ever" I smiled as she started sweeping up the odd bits of hair humming to herself from the music that was playing, some awful Auradon track but it's all we ever got on the Isle and Dizzy seemed to like it so I wasn't going to be cruel.
The hair dryer made a noise signalling it was finished so I pushed it up myself and uncurled my hair from the tin can curlers before checking it out in the shattered mirror seeing fresh rose red highlights in my hair and smiled pulling out my pouch of coins shaking out two rusted copper coins and handed it to her.
"Thanks!" she smiled.
"Hide them Diz so you can buy more materials for your designs, Harry will probably be around later" she nodded her head putting them in her pocket. "Welp I'll see you next time Dizzy"
"Okay" she smiled, Dizzy always had a constant smile on her face if you couldn't tell already, I headed for the door walking out just as someone walked in and we collided.
"Hey watch where you're going!" I yelled at them before my eyes widened seeing the horrible blonde hair with light purple tips. "Mal!"
"Lizzie!" she exclaimed at the same time before my surprise turned into a glare shoving past her. "Lizzie wait!" she exclaimed grabbing hold on my arm.
"Don't touch me" I yelled yanking my arm out of her grasp.
"Come on Liz, we were friends" I scoffed.
"Friends?" I asked her watching her face fall. "Did you forget how you cast Uma and I aside just because we laughed at you" I spat at her feeling my cheeks heat with anger, I did have my mother's temper after all. "Not to mention that you turned your back on us, turned your back on the Isle so don't even think you can come back here and pretend to care about any of us, you better watch yourself, this isn't your turf anymore" I turned and walked off clenching my fists feeling like I wanted to hit someone over the head with a croquet mallet. "Argh" I kicked a barrel over watching it fall apart.
"Now, now Ilizabeth what did the barrel do to you?" I rolled my eyes at the fake posh accent as I turned around.
"Shove off Tremaine" Anthony Tremaine was a right thorn in my side whenever we ran into each other.
"Now why would I do that, you don't have your hooked body guard with you which means your fair game as far as I'm concerned"
"Oh yeah, try it" I goaded him grabbing the hilt of my sword.
"Now, now there's no need to pretend with me luv, we both know your more princess than pirate" I pulled my sword out of its sheath and pushed him against the wall with my sword at his throat threatening to cut into his skin.
"That's where your wrong you pompous prat"
"Please, if you wanted to push me against the wall you didn't have to bring a sword into it, we both know you want me" I scoffed with a laugh added at the end.
"Did your grandmother drop you on your head at birth since we both know mommy doesn't care about you with all her other kids getting the attention" I crooned like I was talking to a baby.
"Shut up"
"Oooh seems like I hit a nerve" I laughed especially as he shoved me away and I saw that my sword had nicked his throat.
"Like you can talk, everyone knows that your mother has her goons beat you up at least mine doesn't care enough to lay a finger on my handsome face" my smile dropped and his smile returned. "Ooh looks like I've now hit a nerve" I glared at him.
"Leave the lady alone, Tremaine" both our heads snapped to the side and we saw Harry standing there with a dark look on his face as he glared at Anthony, the black soot around his eyes darkening the look even more.
"Get lost Hook"
"Ain't gonna happen" Harry growled at Anthony before he turned to me. "You alrite?" Harry asked and I frowned.
"Of course I am, I don't need your help" I snapped at him angry that he was here since Anthony already thought I was weak without him and I didn't need that reputation.
"See she doesn't need you, so run along Hook and go play with your crocodiles" Harry glared at him and snapped charging at him with his sword to his neck, a lot more threatening than I'd been with him and Anthony's eyes widened in terror regretting his choice to poke Harry's darker side, everyone knew about it and only morons tempted fate by pissing Harry Hook off.
"Harry don't, he's not worth it" I pulled on his arm.
"You better watch yourself, she won't be around to protect you next time" Harry snarled at him before he let up and sheathed his sword before he grabbed my arm and we quickly walked away and when I knew we were far enough I shoved him.
"Are you mad!?" I yelled at him.
"What?" he asked turning to me.
"What'd you go and do that for?"
"I'm sorry, from where I stood yeh needed me help" he argued.
"Well I didn't, I'm not some damsel in distress that you need to save"
"Didn't look like that from where I stood" he stated, a self-satisfied smirk playing on his lips making me roll my eyes.
"Well next time you should remain down wind" I stated glaring at him.
"Do you really want me to leave you to deal with that prat?"
"Yes, you're not my guard dog"
"Yeh wish I cared about yeh that much" I scoffed rolling my eyes before we laughed at the reminder of Anthony's face. "You gotta admit that his face was worth me meddling"
"Yeah I'll admit his fear was hilarious, I reckon he'd have pissed himself if I left you two alone" we laughed again as we headed back to the Chip Shoppe.
"Oh hey" we both suddenly yelled out at the same time before sharing a smirk each motioning for the other to continue laughing at our synchronization.
"You'll never guess you I ran into after coming out of Tremaine's salon-"
"Let me guess Mal" he said and my eyes widened.
"How'd you know?" I asked him.
"Cause I ran into her there me self while I was collecting" he replied and I frowned.
"Harry I've told you to leave Dizzy alone"
"Can't do that, she needs to pay the protection rates" I rolled my eyes. "Yeh told the Co-captain yet?" he asked but I shook my head.
"I was heading back there when I ran into Anthony" I told him before looking up and noticed it was getting dark and being this close to the bazaar and bargain castle at this time was never a good idea unless you're looking to get mugged. "We should go" he laughed.
"Scared princess?"
"Pfft no" I scoffed shaking my head.
"Don't worry, we already established I won't let no one hurt yeh" I shoved my hand against his shoulder.
"Just for that..." I smirked watching his eyes narrow judging my next move meaning this was going to be oh so sweet. "This is mine" I swiped his hook off him before he could even blink and took off at a run.
"Give it back!" he exclaimed starting to give chase making me laugh as I jumped over stuff, ducked under things all to avoid him and even went as far as knocked stuff over behind me to slow him down without caring about the protests all around us as we nearly bowled people over, I'd almost made it all the way to the Chip Shoppe when Harry finally caught up tackling me, we rolled a couple times before finally stopping with me beneath him both bursting out in laughter.
After a little while we settled down and realised we'd been laying on the cobblestone path in a very compromising position, Harry Hook was actually on top of me, my legs entwined with his and his hand was on the back of head seemingly having protected it from hitting the pavement when we fell but most of all our faces were so close together that all it would take is either of us to move our heads and our lips would touch and something inside me ached for that to actually happen and he seemed to share the same feeling since I saw his eyes drop to my lips more than once in the past 30 seconds before he finally seemed to be leaning down.
"What are you guys doing?" our eyes widened and I pushed Harry off me, both of us looking up seeing Gil standing there.
"Nothing!" we both spat out quickly getting to our feet.
"She stole me hook!" Harry added pulling it out of my hands and I let him have it fighting hard against the rising blush of my cheeks.
"Sure" Gil smirked and I quickly hid my embarrassment.
"Shut up Gil" I spat at him and headed for the Chip Shoppe walking in quickly checking my sword before I approached the far table hearing the boys follow me in laughing about something before Uma came out of the kitchen with a tray of food placing it in front of me full of chips making me smile since she knew what I liked from this place.
"Uma, you'll never believe whose back!" Harry announced loudly that the whole place could hear him.
"What are you talking about?" Uma asked in no mood for guessing games.
"Mal" I stated cutting to the chase and her eyes widened. "Harry and I saw her at the Curl Up & Dye, she's back on the Isle"
"And so's Evie, Jay, Carlos...and oh King Ben" Gil suddenly said and we all turned to him with wide eyes.
"Seriously?" Uma asked him and he nodded his head. "Hmm well this is...inviting" she smirked and I could see the plan forming in her head.
"Looks like you've got a plan" I stated seeing it in her eyes.
"You and Harry, go snag a beast will you" she told me and Harry, we turned sharing an excited smirk with each other. "Tell the traitor princess to come here tonight if she wants her boyfriend back" I nodded my head.
"Let's go catch a king" I told Harry and we headed out with a few other crew members for back up since we had to have fun with the other traitors as well.
We easily found our way to their old crib, knowing that's where they'd be since it was the only place of theirs that we hadn't figured out how to break into yet and take over so it was the only place they were safe on this island and easily spotted them down the alley, the only one missing was the king so we waited.
"Okay, you guys are gonna grab King Beasty Boy, Harry and I will deliver the message to those three to tell Mal" the crew nodded their heads as I looked down the alley seeing the king finally come down the stairs and was actually walking towards us.
"Show time" Harry smirked as we all moved into the shadows waiting for beasty boy to get closer and when he was right in front of us I nodded to the crew and they all jumped out blocking any exit the young King might have attempted.
"Hey Beasty Boy, why don't you come with us?" I asked him smiling at the fear on his face before he turned and tried to run but Jonas and Gonzo grabbed him quickly tying a cloth around his mouth to stop him from yelling out to the others. "Take him to the ship, I'm sure he'll love a taste of Isle hospitality" they nodded and dragged Ben off.
"Mm yeh hot when yeh give orders" Harry suddenly spoke up and it was almost enough to make me blush since I was still hyped from our almost kiss earlier.
"Shut up, we got a message to deliver" I told him right as we heard Carlos and the others calling out for Ben so we smirked and started walking in that direction, Harry's bulk and height practically hiding me until the right moment.
"Ben don't scare us like that" Evie breathed out thinking Harry was Ben just like I knew they would and that's when I stepped out behind Harry as we walked into the light.
"Don't scare you?" Harry sang lifting his head looking at the three traitors in front of us as I smirked evilly crossing my arms over my chest. "That's my specialty" he laughed.
"Harry, Lizzie" Evie breathed out.
"What did you do with Ben?" Jay demanded.
"Oh uh...we nicked him, mmhmm" Harry replied pointing behind us.
"Yeah and if you want to see him again, have Mal come to the Chip Shoppe tonight" I told them pointing towards their hideout where Mal was hiding away like the coward that she was.
"Alone" Harry added strongly pointing to each of them since it was Mal we wanted. "Uma and Liz here wants...a little visit" I smiled at him as the others just stared at us. "Aw Jay...seems like you've lost yeh touch" Harry added unable to help himself from goading Jay into a fight, they'd always had a little rivalry and Jay reacted just like Harry wanted him to but Evie held him back proving how soft they've become which made Harry and I laugh at their reactions before Harry barked at Carlos to scare him but Carlos didn't react like he'd wanted him to, I glared at them before grabbing Harry's arm and started walking backwards pulling him with me as he continued to smile and laugh before he turned and started whistling as we walked away leaving them to deliver the message to Mal.
When we got back to the dock I pointed for Harry to go to the ship and make sure our prisoner didn't have a couple of sneaky tricks under his belt even though I doubted it since he was a Auradon kid and there privileged lives didn't know the life skills us Villain kids had under our belts when it came to surviving while I went into the Chip Shoppe to tell Uma that the plan had gone perfectly and await Mal's arrival which didn't take that long as I saw her come in through the doors.
"I'm back!" she sang like she owned the place.
"Loser, party of one" Uma snapped at her as we approached the traitor side by side.
"Right this way please" I pointed to the empty table in front of us and Uma kicked the chair towards her, she caught it and we smirked at her laughing a little at her reaction before she took a seat straddling the chair backwards against the table before she looked around.
"Place still stinks"
"Oh I'm sorry were down a butler today...princess" Uma spat practically with the last word intending it as an insult, not like how Harry called me a princess.
"Where is he?" Mal demanded glaring up at us.
"Oh don't worry, I'm sure Harry is taking great care of him" I smirked seeing her glare towards me which just made me laugh to myself as Uma removed her apron throwing it down to the ground.
"You know I've dreamed of this" Uma stated chuckling. "You wanting something from us and us watching you squirm like a worm on a hook"
"I'm so flattered that you dream of me, I haven't given either of you a thought since I left" Mal spat back and I scoffed since she might act all tough but she'd already proven herself of going soft outside of the Curl Up & Dye.
"Obviously" Uma yelled slamming her fists down on the table glaring at her. "You have your perfect little life, don't you?"
"Doesn't she have the perfect little life?" I called to the patrons in the shop and they all laughed their agreements. "And were 20 years into a garbage strike" I spat back at Mal glaring at her.
"Listen if you two have some kind of score to settle with me game on, I see no reason to bring Ben into this" she replied and I just laughed since she brought Ben into the game, not us.
"It may be a little unnecessary but argh...it is so much fun" I laughed at her.
"Here's the deal" Uma stated getting down to the actual business at hand.
"Just like your mother, always a catch" Mal replied and I frowned as Uma slid into the chair opposite her and placed her elbow onto the table holding up her hand, a good old fashioned arm wrestle, a pirates way of striking a deal.
"If you win, Ben is free to go" Uma listed off the terms of the deal and Mal wasted no time putting her own elbow down on the table. "Don't you wanna know what we get if I win?" Uma asked her.
"Still dreaming" Mal spat and Uma huffed grabbing her hand.
"Last time we checked you mother thought she had things all sewn up too" Uma argued and I smirked crossing my arms smugly.
"How'd that work out of her again?" I asked her.
"On three" Mal demanded glaring at me before she quickly looked towards Uma.
"One" Uma said smirking.
"Two" Mal added.
"Three" they said together and it began with Uma chuckling.
"You know that whole princess act...ugh never bought it for a second" Uma goaded as Mal slowly brought her hand down but I had faith that Uma knew what she was doing and she'd yet to lose to anyone so there was no way she was gonna lose to a traitor. "You could stick a tiara on a villain but you're still a villain" I wanted to scoff since Mal was no villain given the most harm she ever did was steal candy from babies.
"And you can slap a pirate hat on but you're still shrimpy" Mal countered and I glared as her eyes glowed green meaning she was trying to cast a spell and Uma's hand was dropping further and further towards the table but Uma remained confidant laughing meaning she had a trick up her sleeve.
"If I win...you bring us the wand" Uma said throwing down our terms of the deal and it to distract Mal as she faltered for a second and it was all it took for Uma to turn hands and slam Mal's hand down on the table and we all erupted into cheers.
"Now...if you want beasty boy back bring us Fairy Godmother's magic wand" I told Mal slamming my hands down on the table.
"To our ship tomorrow at 12:00 noon" Uma added before throwing her hair over her shoulders. "Sharp" she added before we walked off leaving Mal to see herself out but I turned back not trusting her not to run back to Auradon and blab.
"Oh and if you blab...you can kiss your baby goodbye" I added leaning on the table leveling my eyes with hers before blowing her a kiss waving with a smirk before Uma and I walked away listening to her as she left as quickly as she arrived and I couldn't help the triumphant laugh. "I better go and check up on Harry, we don't want damaged goods"
"Mmhmm, keep telling yourself that" she said and I rolled my eyes at her. "Oh don't roll your eyes at me, Gil told me about you and Harry on the path earlier"
"We tripped"
"Oh yeah sure"
"Whatever you want to believe Uma" I argued before I left walking the short distance to the ship climbing the gangplank onto the deck before I headed down to the brig finding Ben sitting on the floor of the ship. "How you finding your accommodations so far, nice and comfy?" I tossed a rotten apple that I'd snagged on my way over through the bars and it rolled to his feet.
"Who are you?" he asked picking up the apple and made a disgusted face when he realised it was rotten, making me frown since he finally saw what it was like for us.
"Why do you care, you clearly didn't when you chose who you'd bring to Auradon" he frowned.
"Hey princess" I turned seeing Harry behind me and I was thankful he didn't say my name, Ben would find out who we are when the time was right.
"You should try and sleep your majesty, your gonna need it for what's in store for you tomorrow" he frowned looking around the floor. "There's no bed if that's what you're looking for, that's an expensive and high end privilege on this island" I smirked at him before Harry and I walked out heading back above deck heading over to the side of the ship and leant on the side looking out at the ocean, nothing but silence passing between us.
"Ilizabeth" I scoffed a little a smile playing on my lips since he truly was the only one to continue to use my full name in such a friendly manner.
"Harry" I turned towards him.
"Should we uh...talk about earlier?" my smile fell a little.
"Earlier?" I asked just in case he wasn't talking about our near kiss.
"You know, you stealing my hook, our fall...were we..." I sighed knowing exactly where he was going with this but I couldn't let myself feel,
"Look Harry, it was-"
"A mistake" he suddenly said and my eyes widened a little. "It was a weak moment between us, right?" he asked and I could only nod my head.
"Yeah, we're friends"
"Friends" he nodded, our eyes meeting as we smiled at one another and I found myself locked on his ocean blue eyes surrounded by the dark black soot that always lined his eyes making them look sinister to anyone else but to me I found them oddly attractive beyond compare and before I knew it our lips smashed together in a feverish kiss that was unexpected but expected at the same time and I found my arms wrapping around his shoulders as his hands found themselves around my waist and he was lifting me off my feet so we were at the same height and my left leg instinctively popped up as I smiled against his lips.
