Uma Pov:
"Summer time. Best of seasons to come as well for everyone to catch a break along do dumb stuff and get in trouble. That's basically the main point for the summer, however for my mom? Making money. Ever since I've handled the duties of the isle which King Ben had allow me such a honor. While I did enjoy my time being a pirate captain and looking over a crew yellow bellied pirates while having Gil and Harry as my crew mates. They decided to travel across the ocean with their parents for the season, so that leaves me along Gamma to host the 'Unfortunate Barbecue'. We're having it at Auradon's beach since the one at the isle is currently occupied by Tic Toc the crocodile as well a bunch of other ravenous animals. So today, she's going be serving food for the public as well making a bunch of deals with the customers along make tons of money today. Just need to make sure she doesn't transform them into polyps."
Auradon-Beach
It was a bright and sunny day at the beach with both good and villainous people out looking over the sea as well getting comfortable in the sand. Tents were set up along that of the people making sure they weren't to far from the water or to close making sure they could head over for a swim. Admiring the sight as Uma who was right now in a stylized beach look with her signature hat as well clothing which showed her Sea Witch heritage.
"Admiring the sight my captain?"
Spoke a voice from behind her as it was her cyborg boyfriend as well futuristic VK Gamma. Who after months of looking after both the Isle and the kingdom for any type of unusual activity that might threaten it's people, found nothing. Leaving him only be normal like the others as well enjoy the peace that he had been given to.
"I am, but. There is another sight I have to say is quite, enjoyable."
Uma smirking towards Gamma as he was given by Evie along Trick a custom made swimsuit design for someone like the cyborg. Who had on black shorts along a no sleeve's shirt showing off dinosaur bones, while not wearing a undershirt as Uma could see his bare chest as well cybernetic arm.
"Really? So your more interested with a possible hybrid between flesh and metal then the enjoyment of the people here who can have a chance to take it easy."
Gamma questioning her about how with her over looking several events as well making sure her mom had the best restaurant of all the isle. He was surprised about how she seemed interested in Gamma since they kept their relationship professional so that they could look over the people. They didn't have time to have dates or act like a couple, to much emotion and gooey feelings.
"Relax with that dramatic talk will you? On most occasions we'd just do some pistol training. Today? Nothing at all. Only just admiring a long day's work as well possibly making a few coins."
Responding to the cyborg that while she would sometimes get his attention making sure they were together, it was alright to have a few days to enjoy themselves. Especially on a day like this, seeing that they had to look pleasant with so many people attending the event. The two were right by the small restaurant that was built for Ursula who was right now making several meals for the customers.
"Uma!"
Shouting out so loud it made pelicans and almost any birds around the place fly away as it was Ursula needing her daughters assistance. Uma sighs seeing that after showing that she could be her own woman, Ursula still needed assistance in cooking and keeping her kitchen tidy as well food fresh for the customers.
"Come with me."
Requesting the cyborg to follow her as Gamma could see what Ursula might need from them. The two walked into the building where they saw numerous customers getting several burgers and other meals for the sunny day. The employees that the sea witch hired were several people who had made deals with them in exchange for their service.
"I thought your mother made a deal with the king that no type of written lists which would result in transformations."
Gamma asking about how most of them had several symbols of Ursula's magic showing they worked for her. Uma merely rolled her eyes about that issue since when the villains were allowed to explore Auradon, Ben as well half the council of heroes and sidekicks wrote several laws for separate villains they had to follow if they would interact with the rest of the kingdom.
"She did. However not so much big deals but more 'help me out and I'll make sure you get good luck for the day' deal. Not to crazy like giving mermaids feet or anything like that. Still, wouldn't mind making deals myself for the right price."
Uma stating that while she leaned more to the pirate way then her mother's way of her magic, she wouldn't mind how to make a deal. The pair went to the kitchen where they saw Ursula working with her tentacles out flipping patties as well making sure food was coming out and given to the waiters.
"About time you came here. Going need a lot of hands if I'm going beat the rush hour. As well have to ask you for something."
Her mother asking as the pair saw how the tentacles moved back and forth making sure none of them weren't being used. Uma and Gamma had to move out of the way seeing how fast she was going, though the child was curious about what her mother need since it seemed that Ursula had everything under control.
"Right now the entertainment out here is so boring. Volley ball? Sand castles? Such mediocre clichés. I need your help in getting some entertainment to help draw in more customers. Live things up."
Giving a suggestion about how with the beach seemingly alright, it could be better as well get everyone hungry and come over for a bite to eat. Uma took a look outside seeing how things seemed alright, people just minding themselves as well enjoying the day. However to Ursula's eyes it could be better, let alone have some entertainment.
"What would you suggest? The atmosphere here is rather satisfying along..."
Before having a chance to finish his sentence Ursula had her tentacle snap at his feet. Though the snap made a frying pan fly right by her side leaving Ursula to catch it, the cyborg looked at Uma who was holding her breath at how funny it was seeing her mother making somebody scared.
"My dear Uma. I understand when I was your age the men I chased after were more muscle then brains, but metal? That's a new one, still at least you can say he has abs of steel."
Making a remark of Uma's choice in dating along laughing at the expense, this made the daughter flustered of how she had to bring up her dating life. Noticing how she embarrassed her daughter enough, Ursula decided to get right to the point of how to draw in customers here as well get the beach much more exciting.
"So far the only type of entertainment these rich folk would listen to is the marching band and music of positive. Dullness at it's finest, while for us. Much more pop as well movement. So unfortunately, and I stress saying the word. Had to bring in someone who might help me with it."
Expressing a annoyed tone since it seem she had found a way to get what she wanted. Uma got concern since whatever got to her mother would either be a choir of mermaids singing about Triton or her favorite show being cut short due to a royal announcement. Whatever was making her act like this had to be very annoying or possibly going to be difficult to manage. As the pair were about to question it, they heard a certain crash outside of the entrance to see what was happening.
"Pardon us. Future queen of fashion and possibly goddess of wickness coming through! As well their personal love toy and best friends of all time."
A voice shouting out which felt like glass breaking as the three knew who it was, turning over to the side they saw Trick with his friends looking at the customers as they seemed to be freaked out about their arrival. Jay and Carlos noticed at how they have seemed to make the arrival, while also by their side was Dizzy who wanted to tag along since she wanted a chance to be with her favorite people.
"Really mom?"
Uma questioning her mother's suggestion in hiring entertainment as the sea witch waved towards them in the back getting their attention as the gang came over into the kitchen. The six made their way in as well noticing the looks on Uma and Gamma's face on how they didn't expect for them to be here and help out Ursula.
"I came by to try out the fried shrimp you have with the marinara sauce. I got money."
Jay stating the truth as well showing several coins in his bag, Ursula smiled at the sound of coins as she aimed her tentacle out taking his coins as well handing him a plate of fried shrimp. Mal smiled as well greeted Uma seeing how they had become friends, while still trying to up stage one another in their own respective manners.
"She called us about today and right now none of us have anything going on, plus it be good to get the beach a bit more riled up. We noticed how calm it's been outside."
Stating that while it was rather nice seeing everyone enjoying their beach day as well how the summer was slowly making everyone a bit lazy. It seemed that they needed a jolt of excitement. Due to how it's not every day a sea witch will cook for you, so it seemed a good reason to come over and help out.
"Let me guess. You had a idea about using either explosives and dangerous weapons to draw in the crowd."
Gamma stating a choice in how Trick would handle getting everyone to come over to Ursula's place, though he blows raspberries about how the cyborg dared to think such a idea. However Gamma merely glared at him seeing if it was true.
"Ok fine. But, I let Evie and Dizzy come up with the idea on how we could get Ursula some of that royalty like I do. Only I'm more agile as well look good in spandex, don't you think squid mama?"
Acting sly with Ursula which earned him a quick frying pan to the face which made him go cross eye at the impact. Though it seemed he earned it, but more to the point he wasn't lying as Uma looked to Evie as well her 'apprentice' since the two had a thing for fashion about a idea on how they could bring in more customers for the restaurant.
"I've already got several sets of clothing right for the idea as well Evie who's planned out how we can start it."
Dizzy stated as she pulled out her sketch book showing several clothing that she designed with help from Evie as she showed it to Ursula for her approval. Meanwhile for Uma, she wanted to have a talk with Mal due to how it's been a while since the wedding between her and the two loves of her life.
"So. How's it going back at the love cottage, got the feeling of just settling down?"
Making a joke at how with being married to a pair of extraordinary individuals, they would want to try and take it slow. However for Mal merely scuffs at the thought of her sitting at home as well acting like every other ordinary wife.
"And you be making eels do dolphin acts? Sorry, but you know this dragon isn't exactly for the normal life. Much like you and robot boy there, besides it be boring if I let you take the spotlight."
Responding back as the two shared a laugh with the comments, however it was overlooked by Ursula who was laughing at the sight of Dizzy's designs and idea for the entertainment. While this would possibly be a sarcastic laugh, this seemed a enjoyable laugh of how the sea witch liked what Dizzy and Evie had in mind.
"Oh darling this is fabulous! I'm sure it draw in those guppies to us, maybe I could cut you in on the profit when it's over."
Making a deal with Dizzy of how if this work she would give the girl some money due to the ideas she had in mind. Looking over to Evie and the others she showed a thumbs up about how this was a good way to start her reputation. They acknowledged the girl as well how they'd help her with getting things started for the afternoon.
"We should get started now. I've brought the stuff outside and might need some room. Is it possible to close early?"
The De'vil boy suggesting as Ursula could see it was going be quite big if this was going bring in more costumers. Nodding at them she whistled at the employee's she had made a deal with which caused the symbols on them to fade away as their contracts were ended. Seeing how someone needed everyone out, Trick being the one to handle this decided to remove his mask as well have everyone leave the restaurant with his 'charming' face.
"Attention fine customers. We need you all to head out so we could prepare for our afternoon special, unless you all want to eat with me watching you."
Giving them a suggestion of if they wanted to stay or remain here while he exposed his face. Most of them didn't know how to respond to that question as they stayed quiet, however it got interrupted by a roar which came from Gamma who let out his Jurassic side. Showing off his fangs and eyes, it made everyone run out screaming at the sight as well leaving their foods untouched. Trick took a look at his friend seeing how he managed to do that act while he didn't seem to scare them.
"Ok. You were showing off, as well you have that dinosaur genetics stored in you. I've got natural magic scare in me. Just pointing it out."
Making a statement how he could have terrified them as well get them to leave, but couldn't since he didn't have special DNA in him like Gamma had. Soon enough they all started to get to work seeing how with what Dizzy and Evie had in mind for Ursula, it was going get the beach much more exciting as well have the people work up a appetite for when the entertainment was over.
Ursula's Restaurant-Night Time
Several hours pass since Ursula had scared off her customers as well the employees she brought in due to the lack of entertainment that was happening. They were right now outside of the building upset about being scared off. Leaving one of them to call in Ben along Harold to come down and see what the issue was.
"Please remain calm, I'm sure there's a reasonable explanation behind the closing and that it will be sorted out soon."
The king explaining to everyone as he could see from their faces they were hungry as well upset that they had to leave early. Inside however they were hearing a bunch of sounds going off, which sounded similar to power tools as well construction happening inside which meant there was a operation going on.
"I think it should be handled it now your majesty."
The demigod suggesting as Adam was going try and open the door to see what was going on. Only to notice the walls of the restaurant completely falling down like a square, it showed a surprising sight which was Trickster who was in the bathroom wearing a new set of aquatic clothing which resembled a water bug.
"Trick? What did you do?"
Adam asking confused at how the whole restaurant and everything within it was gone, the crowd along everyone begun to demand answers from the Oogie waiting for a response. The masked VK remained quiet until he raised a finger trying to get a say in the matter, leaving everyone to stop talking as he was about answer their question. Though he turns at his reflection merely chuckling how this was all a part of Dizzy's plan.
"Gimme, gimme, gimme some time to think. I'm in the bathroom, looking at me. Face in the mirror is all I need."
Starting a song which got everyone confused about how he was about to explain this incident to them. Meanwhile for Trick rubbed the side of his head getting in the moment, as well noticing by one of the stalls was Gamma who had on a hammer head style clothing in which he stared at Trickster with a glare.
"Wait until the reaper takes my life, Never gonna get me out alive. I will live a thousand million lives."
Trick telling everyone as the audience kept quiet seeing the tense moment, especially how Gamma pulled out a gun from his holster as he aimed it at the VK. Everyone looked scared as well Harold about to step in and stop the two, though Ben stopped him as he didn't want anyone scared.
"My patience is waning, Is this entertaining? Our patience is waning, Is this entertaining?"
Gamma joining in as he aimed the gun into the air which fired off a flare. Looking up into the air, they saw going over to the side of the beach where they saw near the water something emerging. It was Ursula's old grotto hideout, which had been changed into a new restaurant. Most of them had different styled clothing based off fishes of the ocean, while also noticing at a cauldron was Ursula letting out her signature laughter.
"I, I, I got this feeling, yeah, you know. Where I'm losing all control, cause there's magic in my bones!"
The group singing for the audience as well getting their attention as they had seemed to use magic to move everything within the old building here to the grotto. The show got the people's attention seeing how this had to be the reason why Ursula closed down the resturant.
"I, I, I got this feeling in my soul. Go ahead and throw your stones, cause there's magic in my bones!"
Telling them all as Jay who had on a eel styled costume due to them being snake like, who was throwing several menu's to people making sure each of them got one so they could place a order while they were watching the show.
"Playing with a stick of dynamite, there was never gray in black and white. There was never wrong 'til there was right."
Adding his voice to the singing as everyone took a moment to look for what types of meals they would have. Though they noticed type of chairs or tables for them to sit, leaving Mal who was right now wearing a sea moth clothing due to it's representation as a dragon. Used her magic to make several rocks as well the people's supplies to turn them into proper seats and tables.
"Feeling like a boulder hurtling, Seeing all the vultures circling. Burning in the flames I'm working in, turning in a bed that's darkening."
Mal singing to them as everyone found a good spot to get comfortable while watching the live performance. With everyone watching the sight, they noticed Carlos who had on a puffer fish clothing with black and white spots who saw how everyone was waiting for their food and not knowing when they would get it.
"Your patience is waning, Is this entertaining? Our patience is waning, Is this entertaining?"
Asking everyone in which they agreed with him of how this was entertaining, leaving both him and Dizzy on the side. She had on a colorful clothing representing another fish as the two would help handing food to everyone. In which Ursula had several plates of meals for the people and handed them to the two VK's.
"I, I, I got this feeling, yeah, you know. Where I'm losing all control, cause there's magic in my bones!"
Continuing the performance as well catching the plates of foods and handing them each out to the people. They were captivated by the performance and service while in the back was Ben, who was enjoying the show while Harold was surprise that the sea witch could do this type of stunt with a small group of people.
"I, I, I got this feeling in my soul. Go ahead and throw your stones, cause there's magic in my bones!"
The crowd begun to applaud with the singing making a beat for them as well how while in the past and possibly now Ursula would make them fear her, they were loving the show and food she had done for them. There was a sudden pause as they noticed by one of the large calms beginning to open up, they saw Evie who had herself appear as a mermaid along her clothing based off a Mandarin fish. The music that was being made by the grotto slowed down as it was her turn to sing.
"Look in the mirror of my mind. Turning the pages of my life, walking the path so many paced a million times."
Singing softly towards the audience while looking at her reflection from the shell, meanwhile at her cauldron was Ursula who was making smoke rise in a ominous manner. While that was going on, Evie kept everyone's attention on her like if she was a siren.
"Drown out the voices in the air. Leaving the ones that never cared, picking the pieces up and building to the sky."
Continuing the melody while by the side of the grotto, the water begun to spin in a vortex as something was emerging from below. The people were frighten by what was rising from the waves, slowly emerging they saw it having a humanoid like appearance with several tentacles coming out of the water at the same time.
"My patience is waning, Is this entertaining? Our patience is waning, Is this entertaining?"
A voice asking out to the crowd as several lights shined on the figure as it was Uma in her octopus form. Towering over the sight as well wearing similar clothing like her mother while a set of jewels. Everyone cheered of how they were loving the moment along how the music started back up.
"I, I, I got this feeling, yeah, you know. Where I'm losing all control, cause there's magic in my bones!"
The Grotto group singing for the people as Trick rushed over to the stage while being chased by Gamma. Who was messing around with him wearing a hammer head shark hat, the two were 'fighting' as they were making the crowd notice their movement and fight choreography.
"I, I, I got this feeling in my soul. Go ahead and throw your stones, cause there's magic in my bones!"
Moving forward as Trick pulled out his swords and taunts Gamma, which made the cyborg decide to do something that Uma's mother's business sky rocket and get people to come. It involved him to change into his tyrannosaurus rex form which made the people get surprised of him roaring on the stage.
"There goes my mind. Don't mind, There goes my mind!"
Announcing as Trick tried to avoid getting eaten by his cyborg friend as it was real, leaving Uma to go by the side and grab his tail. Due to her large size, she handled Gamma like if he was stuffed toy. She spun him around towards her mother's cauldron which cause the water to go upwards making a dazzling water show.
"There goes my mind, Don't mind, There goes my mind, Cause there's magic in my bones!"
Finishing their performance with Gamma showing his head out of the cauldron while leaving the crowd speechless at the show. Which soon resulted in a roaring applaud for the show and food they were given, meanwhile for Gamma who couldn't believe was thrown by Uma into her mother's cauldron. Heard a laughter from Ursula of how she was enjoying the popularity as well them showing money for what they saw.
"Not bad for a tin man, maybe my daughter choose the right boyfriend to help me with the family business."
Giving him comforting words in her manner as it seemed she was growing onto him. Taking a look at the others as well Uma who was being applauded for her performance, showed a small smile seeing how it was good to take time off and be with others, whether there are family or friends.
"The song used for is chapter was from Imagine Dragons 'Bones', all rights belong to the owners of the song. Along that it is dedicated to Pat Carroll, who had recently passed away. She will be missed as well remembered for bringing such a unique and aquatic character to Disney history as well other works in her career. Thank you again, and know that you will always be remembered."
