"If any of you have to say anything about me falling for a gypsy's daughter, then say it. Because if you were in my shoes as well watching the performance then you'd would want to keep watching her dance. I mean seriously, she had the looks as well curves to even make even the most blackiest of hearts fall for her. So you know that Evie is punishing me for getting attracted to Ella, she and Evie are friends since my princess explained to her about that I'm a sucker for those types of girls. I still need to make up for what I did to Evie making her upset, she's the only girl I don't want to make upset. CJ? I can make her steamed since she still has it at me for screwing up her plan with trying to take over Auradon. Freddie? Do not want to get a shrunken head or have her lion boyfriend Claw tear me up. Mal? Well you know the history between us so it's a bit, awkward. But that's not the point, I'd do anything to make things good for my Evie. And I think I know just how to do it~"
Right at Auradon prep, in the library was Dopey's son Doug as he was doing some research about of different types of instruments across the kingdom. Each of them were different as well unique which some could be played with the wind, some that could make the rocks shake as well jump around and mostly important make people feel joy on even the most saddest days. As he continued to look at the different types of hand held instruments, he didn't notice the strange like sound creeping up behind him which he turns around to look if someone was there.
Doug: "Hello?"
Asking out which he was curious about who was there with him, the library was silent like as the only thing that could be heard was that of a cricket. Not knowing what that was, he returns back to reading as he didn't notice of the shadow that was lingering around the corner of the shelves. There was cold like feel coming from the back of him as he lifted up his head feeling like something was wrong, the doors behind him slammed shut like making him leap off his chair holding his book in a defensive like manner.
Doug: "It's not funny, I have. A accordion."
Getting serious as well not afraid to use it as he pulled it out from his bag, this was a gift from his uncle Doc since he might have wanted him to have it so it reminded him of home. Gripping the handle as well looking around the corners not seeing anyone. He began to shake as well keep the instrument tight till he could feel his palm losing feeling as it felt like the instrument was becoming a apart of his hand. Unable to hear the sound of a creaking wood step, he lets out a yelp and slings it around his back which he didn't see anyone as he was all alone. Sighing a bit relieved that there was no one here, he didn't happened to notice Trick who was seating by his side as well having glasses over his yellow eyes as well had his mask off which he noticed the dwarf son not noticing him.
Trick: "I kind of think it's hilarious."
Which caused the glasses wearing boy to fall of his chair as well move back from the Vk boy which he didn't see his face that much as well surprised that he could even sneak up on him like that without even making a sound. Looking at the door as well that of no windows being here, how was it possible to come in here without making a sound.
Trick: "Before you ask, as well trying to figure out how a orange skin monster face VK like me could sneak in here without making a sound rather getting caught by anyone. It's because I slept in the shelves with the books that talked about castles and different types of houses."
Giving a whole like explanation as Doug couldn't believe it for himself, he looks at the section of the library that talked about the different regions of Auradon as well the separate parts of it. There at a empty part of the shelve was a collection of snow white books made into a pillow while there was a stuffed dragon by his side, the dwarf boy looked shocked at this in which it was pretty messy like.
Doug: "You know that's against the rules."
Trick: "Well I needed to do something that involved me finding something that can help Evie forgive me as well the others for what happened at the festival of fools."
Explaining his situation of what had happened which the boy didn't understand, for as long as Trick had been with Evie since they had arrived. The boy had been loyal to her like a huntsman, getting her things that she needed for her dresses as well would be by her side as well spending time with them. The two would always be busy with their own agenda's, but nothing in this whole kingdom would never make them stop them from spending time for one another. Trick, explaining about what happened at the day which involved meeting Ella, the daughter of Esmerelda who was known for being quite the dance. Like her daughter she was which Oogie boy as hypnotized by her dancing and movement which made Evie jealous. Going back into her good graces. He had himself pranked, shocked as well pied by the king of fools which happened in front of the whole small town.
Doug: "Wow, that's some devotion."
Being surprised by him which this didn't explain why he was here, sleeping in Auradon Prep's library as well sleeping right on top of snow white's books.
Trick: "What I'm doing here, is getting the ultimate apologetic present for Evie and the others. Cause not only it shows that I'm sorry for acting like some kind of hound for a girl who can shake her hips. But also that, I need show that underneath this ugly mug, shows a person that would make amends to family."
Sounding a bit sappy as what he said was true, which meant that to show the others that he didn't act like that he would find something that could be grand. Walking over to the shelves, he pulled out notes of a place where his prize would be that of a house. Not to big or small, but something that could have all of them hang out as well be themselves without being annoyed by anyone.
Doug: "Trick? It's not so easy getting a house. Let alone with having someone sell it to you, since you know? You?"
Asking him in a curious manner looking at the different sketches of a grand as well unique type of home which they could enjoy together as well not be bothered by anyone as well throw small parties.
Trick: "Well, I know. Cause I'm so unique, also that Mal has been stressed out with her queenly business as well the others with there own things. I need to get this for them as well my lovely Evie a place where they could hang out as well her to continue her forever hearts clothing business. Also, it helps me keep my things there whenever I'm going out on my jobs."
Doug: "What, do you mean by things?"
Getting a bit scared of what possessions that he might be holding, grabbing his phone he began to pull up his gallery which he shows to Doug as the sight of what Trick was talking about had him shocked. The images of what he had made Doug looked a bit scared as he turns to Trick which the Vk merely nods to him.
Trick: "You say I'm sick, but I say I'm well prepared for whatever comes. Which is why I need to find the perfect house for us so that we can work on our business together, now what's more Auradon then a happy couple working together?"
Asking him as well giving him a cheerful smile which Doug merely chuckled a bit nervous like as well nodding him seeing how that Trick was doing this for her as well himself so that they could live together as well have more space for each other.
Doug: "Well, it's still not going be a walk in the park. With how many there are in the kingdom that are different as well being owned by that of royalty. The payment is a bit much as well of going to be difficult to find a home that can hold all of yours as well Evie's belongings. It's crazy to find one that would be available for you to get."
Discussing how impossible it might be to find a house since he still was a student here, Doug looked at Trick as he didn't reply to him in which the boy's yellow eyes stared off in a sort of day dream like sight as he was thinking about the words he just said.
Trick: "Crazy? Oh no, mad. Which, I think I know someone who can help him. Come on Doug, your going be joining me on finding a love shack!"
Standing up as well holding the side of Doug's shoulders as he felt the grip on them which he flinches at how strong his grip is. Grabbing his mask as well stuffed dragon, plus a pair of crocks he slept in the boy followed Trick which he soon opens the door which showed several students noticing Trick right at the entrance making them scream at him coming up out of nowhere as they flee in terror.
Trick: "Hashtag jump scare."
Making a joke which Doug felt a bit worried of what might happen if he was going be with him, so far whenever someone had joined him on a 'adventure' it lead to a fight as well something happening. it was lucky that he had health insurance, cause he might feel like he was going need it.
Later
Right outside of the school, underneath a tree was that of Ally. Daughter of Alice, who was right now looking at several flowers studying them in which she was writing them down one by one in a book of flora. She continued to write as she happened to notice that of Trick fully suited up in his vigilante type clothes as well with Doug as she was curious about what was happening.
Ally: "Doug! Trick? What's goin on? Are you following him on another job that involves danger and adventure?"
Asking a bit excited which she gets up closing her book getting excited about what might happen as Ally had a thing about something being in strange predicaments as well wanting to go one.
Doug: "It's, kind of difficult to explain. Were ugh.."
Trick: "House hunting!"
Showing a excited like expression making Doug jump in a fright seeing how his monster like personality made him a bit unnerved about this gift he wanted to get for Evie and his friends. The look on her face changed to that of disappointment thinking house hunting sounded a bit boring as well not exciting.
Trick: "Hang on, now I know it seems a bit stale as well not exactly like one of my funniest things I do on the occasion. But, I know you, out of all people know things that are mysterious as well that of the impossible which not even most people know about."
Walking by her side which she was now interested as whatever he would look for, it be either nice as well cute for his girlfriend or dangerous as well would help him hurt bad guys as Doug merely wiped his glasses feeling nervous of what he was talking about.
Trick: "Now, your ears are opened to almost anything. So, I think you could tell me about a little old home I happened to stumble upon in the library."
Pulling out a printed piece of paper which had the cottage that he was talking about as well in the library he found, he couldn't take the book that had the original since for one. He might have drooled on it when he was asleep, and the other was that he didn't want to show her a book covered in his drool which Ally happens to look at the cottage which Doug looks at it as well as the two Auradonian teens examined the look as Trick waited.
Ally: "This cottage is a place that is considered territory belonging to that of dangerous as well brilliant dwarf. I think you might have met him when you were with Ruby when you meet him."
Bringing up a memory of Tricks job which had him think about it, so far what he could remember was that of him being wacked around by a mechanical like giant automaton as well avoiding getting attacked by metal like minions. Remembering the injuries that he got as well a chameleon that messed with him when he first came into Ruby's hometown, he snapped his fingers realizing who she was talking about.
Trick: "The Alchemist? This place belongs to him? A nice looking cottage that had a steampunk owner? Huh, guess Auradon can even home crazy people."
Giving the kingdom props for somehow letting him hide out in a cottage that no one would find as well it looking pretty harmless. Doug, looked at the cottage as it looked familiar to him as well the expression had Trick catch it as he smiled at the look.
Trick: "You know where it is do you?"
Doug: "Well, I may have seen it. But, no one goes near it. It's very dangerous as well.."
Before he could warn the boy, Trick merely looked excited about how much this cottage was more and more into his type of inquiry of this home being the perfect spot for Evie's house as well the Vk's hangout. Ally, looked a bit excited as well would want to help find it as this was getting excited. Doug, not being to thrilled about this merely groaned as this might not end well. The two adventure begin to walk through the forest as well looked at Doug waiting for him to come on this journey as the cottage was lost for a reason, because it had a history of not letting anyone near it.
After a long walk through most of the forest as well looking for that of the cottage, the three continued their walk throughout the whole vicinity around the campus as there was no sight of the cottage. It had been several hours since they left the school in which it felt like a whole day had gone by, Doug was almost out of breath from how much they walked as he never was that much of a hiker like his father and uncle. Ally, was right now enjoying it as the curiosity about what kind of home the Alchemist had. After he was locked up after Trick and Ruby stopped him, they tried to find his home which was impossible since he kept it hidden away. Though For Ally, something impossible could always be found and be possible to locate it. While walking with them, Trick was holding a bag which looked big as well heavy like which the two didn't know why he had it.
Trick: "Are we there yet?"
Asking Doug as the glasses wearing boy didn't know since this place was considered very hidden, as well dangerous since whoever found it had to make sure they were very prepared for what might happen. Continuing their walk, Ally walked a head to look around and begin to notice something wrong with a flower they were walking pass. It appeared to be metallic like, before trying to lean closer she doesn't notice the center opening up as Trick pushed her out of the way as it soon shot a dart into his face which made him fall back on his ground.
Doug Ally: "Trick!"
They shout in a frighten like tone thinking he might have died right there, however they move back as Trick was still alive. Shaking hia head at what just hit him,he looked at the flower as he saw that it was a sort of trap that was set for intruders.
Trick: "Well what do you know? Guess we found our breadtrail."
He asked as he began to pull what looked like a wire connected to the flower. The three began to follow the trail as it soon lead to that of a huge field of grass, looking a head the three soon see that a cottage that looked grey with several like spears at the side as well that gnomes on the ground looking like camouflage military men.
Ally: "Extraordinary, it appears that Alchemist wasn't a fan of visitors."
She asked in a curious manner which they noticed a small like butterfly flying pass them. Doug and Ally smiled as well thought it looked cute, however as it soon landed on a flower. The seemingly innocent flower turned into a small like venus fly trap as it snaps it shut cutting it's wings off which shocks the two.
Trick: "Ok, I'm definitely getting this house."
Seeing how fortified this place was, however he knew that these defenses would had to be replaced so that it was safe for everyone to come over. Buzzkills, as he looked around the place he soon steps on a small rock. It somehow started a defense like system as the house began to get armored, the gnomes eyes turned ted which their pointy hats opened up showing that of crossbows. The flowers showed that of arrows in the dots as they were all aiming right at Trick which he groans upset like, pulling out his bag slowly he exposes that a bag of diamonds and jewels which the cottage was able to recognized as it aimed it as he smiles underneath his mask.
Trick: "Bring it..."
Saying slowly as he saw how the arrows began to fire at him as he quickly tuck and rolled away from the heavily armored house trying to take while Ally and Doug watched how he kept the house on him. Taking the moment, they noticed a power breaker on the side which they rushed over looking at that this was the way to shut it down.
Doug: "Ok, this seems easy. So far this Alchemist dude wasn't exactly smart not guarding this spot."
Trick: "Write him in jail when I'm not trying to get shot, again!"
Yelling at the two which they began to shut off most of the weaponry that was firing all it's weapons at Trick, soon enough they began to shut down as well began to drop it's arrows and anything else that tried to kill him. The two looked relieved as they felt a bit glad they could shut it down, walking over to the side they noticed Trick, who was covered in several arrows, got a bear trap in his butt as well was lite on fired as he threw the diamonds at the gnomes as well at the weaponry.
Ally: "I'm curious to ask, why did you brought along those diamonds and jewels?"
Trick: "Cause the only way to hold off a barrage of dwarf weaponry, you use their valuables to knock them out."
Pointing that out which most of jewels had been destroyed when he jammed them across the weaponry which exploded making the area dazzle a bit as well made it gleam off the house. Taking a moment for a breather, they looked at the door which they walked over in which Trick pulled out a small termite from his belt. Putting it in the keyhole, it began to undo the locks as well chew off the screws which the door unlocks.
Ally: "Do you train your bugs to do that?"
Asking him which the bug soon popped up landing in his right palm as he placed the termite in his pocket making it feel safe as he waves his finger at her. He explained to her about that the bugs he meet aren't his pets nor weapons, he keeps them around for the occasion as well lets them do their thing such as cause a bit of trouble. Walking inside they didn't know what would happen as they stayed behind him since he was a shield for almost anything, looking around the area there was nothing but a interesting huge room which had windows all around. He looked around noticing within the room was that of tables as well a perfect set of books that were empty, this was a perfect place for Evie to work on her clothes which he smiled. Taking a moment, he opened his arms wide open which he took in the moment as the two didn't know what to think about.
Doug: "Ugh Trick? What happens.."
Before he could ask anything, the Oogie boy merely shush him which he places his index finger on his lips not trying to ruin the moment as this was the spot for Evie to let her imagination out as well the whole place to be customized.
Trick: "We now, decorate. So now, we need to get the jewels. So they will be used, to make art."
Begin taken in with all of the beauty of the place as well how much that could be done in here, looking at the two he smiled as he was glad that he could share the moment with these two. Hugging both of them, he smiled at this moment which they smiled a bit as well since they can now redecorate it as well make it nice as well into a home.
A few hours later, Mal as well the others came over to check out what Trick had show them. The three as well that of Freddie, CJ as well Claw and Ben were invited which Doug and Ally brought them over.
Carlos: "So, what exactly is Trick showing us? Because the last time he brought us together, he showed how he escape from a heard of wildebeests. Did not ended well that day."
Remembering the stampede as he brought them to the Pridelands to show how he could avoid getting stomped on, it lead a rant from that of Simba which was terrifying as well hilarious. Though this time it was different, they stopped right in front of several bushed as they looked at that of a familiar face which was Trickster as he was waving at them as there was a giant tarp over the house as he was seating in a chair.
Trick: "Hey guys! Like the scenery? Thank Doug and Ally for it to be underneath the sunlight as well it being near mother nature."
Speaking in a relaxed like tone which he smiled at the group as they were curious about them being dragged out here, they walked over as Claw lifted him up curious about what was going on which he snarled his teeth.
Mal: "Before you brought us here, Claw was right now doing a arm wrestling contest with Jay. Before you called, Jay won which made him get into a very angry state. So you should tell us why you brought us here."
Explaining why their lion like friend was angry which he nods at them which Claw drops him, Trick dusts himself off which he walks over to the first tarp which was much smaller as he tries to get ready.
Trick: "Now then, as you know we all have trouble with trying to spend quality time together since we have our own things. And as much as I love spending time with a princess Evie, I love all of you."
CJ: "Really? Should have thought about that after you took the last cherry pie."
Looking a bit agitated at him taking a desert from her when they were in the lunchroom which he chuckled a bit nervous like. Getting back on track he walks over to grab the tarp and gets ready.
Trick: "Well this is different, because today. The VK, get to have their own snacks as well hangout on their time here!"
Removing the small tarp as it showed a sign which looked well done as it said, 'Evie's 4 hearts' as well the heart with the tiara symbol which made everyone speechless as for Evie. Made her cover her gapping mouth unable to figure out the words to say about this, whistling to the side, several spiders went to the side pulling off the huge tarp around the house as it showed a brand new cottage like home for them as it was grand as well special like. The group were stunned at this as well never thought about what to say about this.
Jay: "Awesome pad, how did you get it?"
Doug & Ally: "Don't ask."
Responding to him as the group rushed inside to check out the house as they rushed in to look inside, Evie stood by Trick looking at him unable to say anything but showed some tears as she began to cry a bit.
Evie: "Trick, this is the nicest thing. Anyone has ever gotten me, but why?"
Asking him looking which he smiled as the Oogie boy smiled as he tries to cheer her up as the two hug then never before, he could feel the joy from her which the two look at one another.
Trick: "Cause even if that embarrassing show wasn't enough to show that I was jerk about what happened, then this house represents what you want as well the others want. A home, in which we can.."
Evie: "Oh shut up.."
Interrupting him from making a sappy like speech which she kisses him hard as his eyes widen as he merely takes it in, however before they could keep going. They heard the sound of someone freaking out which came from Freddie. Evie, glared at Trick had something else in the house which he chuckled a bit nervous like as they went inside to see what could make Freddie Facilier freak out.
Later
Inside of the house, in front of a room everyone looked inside seeing that of a heavily fortified space which had tons of swords. Firearms which looked dangerous as well several that looked handmade which they had a mythical type of look.
Jay: "This, is killer."
CJ: "This puts my dad's whole ship of cannons to shame. Which, I'm not complaining about."
Doug: "Ben, it wasn't my idea at all. I swear!"
He informed the king which Ben was still shocked at the sight, quickly enough Trick and Evie came in as they looked at the masked Vk which he chuckles uneasy at the sight of this room. Putting his hands up as well walking to a bench he put in, he seats down looking at them all.
Mal: "Why, out of all the people. In Auradon, or the isle, you had to be the one that would do something like this?"
Trick: "Ugh, for protection? Oh come on, yes me and the others found the house for everyone which I considered it to a VK hangout spot. But, this room, is reversed for work. As well to be ready for whatever bad guy or new evil wants to come up, since we met Slug, Doughboy as well even Uma. I'm just getting ready."
Explaining his reason as this whole room was his, the entire house had a piece of everyone he knew which was quite gracious. But this room? Wasn't for settling in or for anyone normal, this was a room for a fully skilled and demented VK. Ben, being the one in charge of protecting Auradon looked at this place as it was fully locked as well had security measures for no one to take these mystical type weapon or blades.
Ben: "If that happens, we all can handle it. There's no need to go, all out war."
Suggesting that this was too much since together they could handle anything without the toys, Trick nodded agreeing with him as still this room was going to be used if the situation truly required it. Not wasting another moment, the group went to check out the rest of the house as Evie placed her hands on her hips giving him a look which he sighs. Evie walks over to notice that of a sword, with a apple crescent handle with thorns as well the silver blade which she saw how it showed her reflection right off it as she placed it back in it's holder.
Evie: "If we ever have guests over, this room is locked. Got it?"
Informing him which he nods, though Evie had to admit the room was made to her definition of fairest, walking over she pulls him by the collar as he smiles seeing how the two were going to enjoy the new home with the others this house would be quite good for everyone to hangout. As well get ready if anything would happen, which could happen at any moment.
