Gamma Pov:

"August Nineteen, two thousand and twenty one. It's not that often when Trickster does something for people, whether it's directly for his friends or the children which he looked over when he was considered the 'scream king' as he calls himself in the past when he lived in the fright house. It was a surprise when he performed that 'pole dance' in front of everyone. But what really was different than this, was he wasn't wearing his mask. So far out of all the time I've spent here in the present with the kingdom and his residents. He doesn't show his face, at all. Whether it's because he thinks they'll gag or pass out or rather run in fear. While it may seem not much for others, I as well the others can tell he was up to something. I'm curious what motivated him to do this. For now, I think the loves of his life will do the job for me."

Hades Club-afternoon

With his performance done along with how that spinning around on the pole wore him out, Trick felt like his brain was inside of a blender. Though that wasn't worse for Pain and Panic, as they were on some chairs with that of ice packs on their heads along not moving to much. The minions looked at Trick as well gave him a look of how he stretched them out when they were snakes.

"Seriously? You couldn't let us bite you? Our fangs aren't venomous. Well, the last time I checked."

Pain asking Trick about how if they could bite him, it would make it more entertaining for the people. In which Trick gave him back a look as he placed his mask back on, in which he felt rather naked without it.

"Well let's make it clear, while you may have took a twister ride with me. I had to dance on a wooden pole, in which was both hard since I'm not that flexible. Along how I cracked a couple of bones, plus. I did it in front of my girls. So, I consider this painful moment even between us."

The Oogie VK explaining to them how that while he swung them around for the people to laugh at. He had the difficult to stay on the wooden pole, as well try to avoid getting splinters. Shaking his hands, he soon heard that of some footsteps coming over to them. In which was Hades, he had a small smile on his face along had some cash in his hand from the people who tipped his minions daughters for the performance that happened.

"I've seen a whole types of shows, from the titans toppling Olympus. To that of Mal becoming a dragon and Uma a huge squid and battling in the sea. And not to mention, Hercules being toppled by the cyclops. But this, was defiantly something I enjoyed both out of seeing you all hurt. And me, getting paid for it."

He spoke sounding a bit prideful of how the people loved the performance and tipped him for it, Trick. Merely waved his hand about how he enjoyed how both his minions made themselves jokes for the audience. While for Trick, he just enjoyed performing that strange dance as well getting splinters in his hands.

"Yeah, yeah I got it. Now a deal's a deal. Remember? Because out of all of the gods on Olympus who are literally known for everything. You, keep your promises."

Trick pointing out that his whole deity family tree, Hades would keep his word in whatever deal he made. The god rolled his eyes as well of quickly making a small bag come out of his sleeve, Trick smiled as he got up and walked over to grab it. In which as he was about to take the small back, Hades pulls it back slightly and gave Trick a look in which his eyes fired up right towards him.

"I'm keeping my eyes on you, so whatever happens. Don't, screw it, up. Otherwise, your going to real underworld."

Warning him about how this deal was serious and how Trick was going do something that would make Hades threaten him about what he might do with this bag. Trick, placed it in his pocket as well gave him his signature smile of the chance of being sent to the real underworld.

"If I was to go and burn, I'd bring some suntan lotion first."

Being a bit smart to him as well expressing a look on his face on how he wasn't going take this moment for granted. Walking pass Hades, the god merely sighs about what he had just done. This confused the minions about why their boss looked stressed out on what he gave him.

"What exactly did you give him boss? Was it something from your collection? A powerful relic that will give him some strange power?"

Panic guessing about what he may have given to the VK, in which the blue haired god merely snapped his fingers which ignited his feet on fire. It caused him to yell as well run around a bit seeing how Hades wasn't interested in answering dumb questions. Pain merely got a bucket of water and threw it over Panic's feet.

"More of an agreement. In which I don't know whether to be afraid, or angry."

Hades explaining it in a short summary of how the bag had something that Trick requested that he needed. Along when he heard about the request, he didn't know how to react at this. Though it was for something more than himself, the only thing he could do is wait and listen to hear what will happen next. For now, he had to make sure the club continued.

"Well? You two had enough break time. Get out there and give those people some drinks and snacks!"

Yelling at the two minions to getting back at work, in which the two saluted to him as well rush out to serve the people. While for Hades, he seats down in a chair as well grabs a water bottle from the side in which he opens the top and hosting it up to the air.

"Well, Zeus help Auradon."

Making a toast to himself on what he might have done, as well not know the outcome. Still it was better to toast to what was going happen, which would either be amazing or terrible. Either way, he'd have a first class seat to the show.

Later on outside of the club

After hanging out inside of the establishment, the gang came out seeing how they had rather had enough for one day as well looked a bit surprised by the show that Trick gave them.

"So, what kind of dance was that? I never exactly seen that type of movement before."

Carlos asked in a innocent like manner on how it looked mesmerizing as well how the movement of his spinning made it impossible to look away. Evie, just went by his side as well pats his shoulder and will try to explain it to him in a harmless way.

"Think of it as Esmerelda's dance. Only with a spear, luckily enough he wasn't winking at anyone."

Evie telling him how it looked similar to that of the gypsy woman's dance, to which he nodded understanding it. As they waited for Trick to come out, there was a concern look on Mal's face along of Gamma's in which the two noticed something in the dance that he had done.

"He wasn't wearing his mask, he always wears it whenever he dances or when he dances with us."

Mal questioning it since as far as she, Evie or the rest of the gang had knew Trick. He wouldn't go out in public without wearing his mask. While it seemed a bit odd, it still didn't mean something dramatic might happen.

"Really? Your questioning about his sense in fashion and not how he was spinning around on a wooden spear? Because that took a whole sudden turn even for me."

Uma calling out to her about the lack of facial wear mattered less than the Oogie on the spear as well doing a rather strange dance. While that was something to thing about, the faceless Trickster was still a topic that had her bother. Along of Gamma, in which he still felt a strange like feeling about what he had just done.

"Evie, you and Mal are always with him whenever he accepts a job or assignment. Did he tell you about this?"

Gamma asking the two women about his actions, in which they nodded. In which as his calls became more urgent as well how he had gotten more hiring's. In which Evie would be on tab as well would check them out, as well Mal would sometimes help him out seeing that he would require the assistance. As well make sure things didn't escalate or maintain a firm control over the situation.

"Well he told me about the performance but not what he was going do. Still, he's going come out and will talk to us. Right about, now."

Evie responding back as well raising three fingers, to which right outside of the door. Was that of Trickster with his mask over his face as well noticing the group waiting for him.

"Well hey there dancer, we saw that spinning routine you did. Had that planned out or was it just came out of nowhere."

Jay complementing him on how that Trick pulled that stunt out of nowhere as well amazed the crowd. The Oogie merely shook his hand at a fifty fifty chance of how that performance went. He walked over hugging both Evie and Mal as well glad they came along the others, however he noticed the look on Gamma's face when he came up to him.

"What's up with you metal bridges? Didn't like the dance? Kinda came up with it after watching some videos about Tarzan's swinging. Thought I make it a new sensation, does it happen in the future?"

The masked Vk joking with him about how that performance would be popular and that it would make him famous, Gamma. Being serious as well annoyed, rolled his human as well cybernetic eye at the statement.

"No. It was more of the fact that you did it without your mask. In which is new. Seeing how you enjoy keeping your actual face covered from the rest of the world and sharing it with us."

He questioned the fact at how on the performance, Trick was completely faceless as well allowed the people to take a look at his face. Yes it was a bit gruesome as well not a face that would be put on any magazine. But during the dance he didn't seem to care, the Oogie noticed how it was a concern in which he breathes a bit annoyed like.

"Really? That's the one thing we all want to know. Why I danced without my mask? Come on. That spinning would have flung across the stage and land in someone's lap. Might make them pass out, why you think it's not a handsome face?"

Trick asking them in which most of them looked a bit conflicted about that response. But they also noticed how he was messing with them in which gave them a smile towards them seeing how they already knew what he looked like. Evie, walked over and merely gave him a kiss on the check which made his smile leave as he looked a bit surprise by the sudden peck.

"It's a unique face. As well that we were taken by surprise with the performance that's all. Right?"

Turning to the others in which they nodded, seeing as how it seemed to be the first time he did this stunt in public. The Oogie merely smiled at them for the encouragement along that during the moment, Mal also got curious about something else.

"What was the payment from Hades? Something to help with my magic? Cause I know you've been trying to see how far my magic has been going."

She asked him about the small bag he had on his belt, to which Trick noticed her look as well of the others. Trick merely smiled at them as well tried to think of something to say to them.

"Oh this? Just some gems to help with the cottage. Upgrading it a bit, I was thinking we could add in a pool for us to hangout in. And maybe some more cloth for Evie, there's some ideas maybe I want to try and suggest since your always up for something new."

He explained to them as well of giving them ideas on what he was going do with the payment, while it did sound like a good suggestion. The girls could tell there was something else he was up to, suddenly his phone begun to ring in which Trick began to check on it.

"Seriously? You got another job? I thought you did one like once a day."

Carlos asking him since most of the times whenever he's off, Trick would head home to heal his wounds and spend time with both Mal and Evie. In which he nodded, along how he smiled at the sight on his phone.

"I do. This, however is an alarm for someone I need to see. I gotta go. I'll text you in a bit, promise. Also Uma? If possibly, could please make Gamma smile. Cause out of all the pirates I know, which is around three. You gotta got a good grip on him."

Trick making a quick goodbye as well asking Uma if she could make her boyfriend lighten up a bit. The sea daughter looked at him and chuckled seeing how she had that taken care of. Giving both Evie and Mal a quick kiss, as well hand shaking Jay and Carlos. He had to head out very fast, the others had how he moved pass some people in a hurry.

"Ok. So from how he was going, he's defiantly up to something."

Jay stating the obvious in which they nodded, as well could tell the way he acted. Something was off. They decided to possibly keep a eye on Trick, see what exactly he's up to. As well try to not get noticed by him.

Later on at David's home

In the neighborhood of the residents from the kingdom, was that of David. In which he was right now tending to his limo as he was checking out the engines as well of the tires. So far things between him and Jewelry Lee, it felt perfect since the both acted well together. In which the pirate woman had settled down with being a Auradonian citizen, she walked out to check up on her boyfriend as well had two cups that were both for her and him.

"Mind a bit of a break there?"

Lee asking him as he was right now underneath the car, however he couldn't hear due to the engine. To which, she smirked as Lee did a quick kick in his leg making him yelp a bit. Coming out from underneath, he looked up seeing his girlfriend. To which he couldn't help but admire her, as well how she was tough enough to interrupt him from working.

"Lee, just the woman I was thinking about."

David responded as he stood up and dusted himself along taking the cup, the two did a quick kiss as well of going to head back inside. As David took a drink from his cup, he shuttered a bit about what exactly he just drank from the cup Lee made for him.

"Grog, something to help you with all that working. Maybe jolt you up for the dinner night we're going have."

She explained the drink to him about how tonight they were going to enjoy themselves, plus how it was special since it was the month where they first meet each other. David, couldn't help but nod while still shaking off the strong drink that she offered him.

"Yep. And also, that I talked to my boss about some time off. In which he agreed, along that I also saved up enough money for us to go somewhere that I know you've talked about."

He informed her about how his job was able to let him take a break, plus the money he's kept saved up. In which Lee looked a bit suspicious, seeing how there were numerous of places she wanted to visit when she got off the isle of the lost. In which he went right underneath his pocket, which showed that of a pair of tickets. Lee, looked almost speechless at the name on it along what he was saving it up to.

"Tortuga?"

Lee asked almost feeling a bit like this wasn't real, in which Tortuga was the place most pirates dream of visiting. In which she squealed a bit as well hugged David, the man could tell from how she reacted. This was something she always wanted to visit since it was full of excitement plus was the best place for a good time.

"It took me a while to try and find it since most of the ocean has numerous islands. But sure enough I got the.."

Before David could continue, Lee leapt right onto him as well begun kissing him multiple times about this trip. In which from he could tell from her reaction was something unexpected, which was something he loved about her. As the two looked glad about the trip they would be attending. They heard the of a small like sniffing. The two turned their heads in which they saw by their chair, was that of Trickster with a tissue as he was wiping away his tears.

"Sorry. It's just I love couple's when they exchange loves. Reminds me of this drama show's Evie got me and Mal to watch."

Trick said as well blowing his nose in which to his knowledge, he possibly might have ruined the moment between them. Placing Lee on the ground. David gave him a look as well took a deep breath seeing how he must have snuck in here while the two were talking outside.

"Can you please, explain to me why. Are you in our house, in my chair, as well watching us try to enjoy that of quality time?"

David asking him in a calm manner since most of the times Trick would pop in to visit, as well see what he's up to since Trick considers him a good friend. In which the masked Vk, quickly rose a finger before making sure he had no more tears in his eyes.

"Well, one. I was tired from a pole dancing stunt I just did at Hade's club. Check it out, also. My phone picked up when Lee was available to see. Text of course, I'm not that weird."

He explained his reason about why he came to the house in which it appeared that he was invited here. David, looked a bit puzzled as he turned to Lee seeing how she wasn't hiding it and on how she did invite him over.

"It's true. Because there's something I need to give him, it was in my old chest of items I took when I was on the isle."

Explaining to David about which had him confused, in which she walked to the their room as well went to look for something. As she left, it was the two men looking at each other as well having a awkward moment between them. In which David, had one question on his mind which he never thought he'd ask in his lifetime of living in Auradon.

"Pole dancing, in front of people?"

He asked Trickster about the dance in which the VK nodded, as well not exactly bothered. In which he placed both of his hands out about his rather strange reason for doing that type of dance in front of a establishment.

"Trust me tuxedo man. What I did is for a noble cause, as well. Something, mature."

Trick responding to David's question about his strange dance along of how the last part of his sentence made him gag a bit. In which David could tell he wasn't faking. This made him curious about Trick's intentions, before he could ask him about what he meant. Lee walked over as well handed him a small pocket which had something in it.

"Remember, when dealing with a pirate. I need some of equal value..."

Before Lee could explain, Trick pulled out that of some cash he had in his pocket. A couple of hundreds from some jobs he and Mal did, in which compensated for what Lee had. Smiling at the money, she accepted it as well handed Trick the small bag. Smiling at her, he shakes her hand as well walks pass David but not before saluting to him.

"Wish me luck, because I seriously need it. Like, a lot."

Expressing to him how he was doing something which required what Lee had, turning his girlfriend. The pirate woman merely smiled a bit in a mischievous manner, seeing how she was told about what Trickster was up to.

"Sorry I couldn't tell you about this, but what he told me was really important. And not to tell anyone, not even you."

Lee telling David about how that during their trade off, she was told what Trick was trying to do. In which before David could ask, they heard something from the window. The two, kept silent as well of not saying a word. David slowly went over to the backside window, in which they were left open so that the air could come in. Lee, walked over to that of the closet to get something for them. Walking over to the window, David quickly pushed both of his arms into the bushes as well felt that of collars.

"Got you!"

He shouted as he used up all of his strength to pull out that of two people that were possibly spying on them. Placing them on the ground, Lee pulled out a pair of cutlass blades and aimed it at the intruders who were entering their home.

"Woah wait! Same team! Same team!"

Shouted out a familiar voice to which it was Jay and Carlos, in which they were apparently spying on them during the conversation. This made the two adults sight at them as well making David lift them back up on their feet.

"My house isn't exactly a hangout place for you. What exactly were you doing here and hiding the bushes like peeping toms?"

David asking them in which Lee puts away the cutlass's seeing how that there was no need for any type of violence. To her dismay, both boys got the leaf's off them as well of making sure nothing was on them.

"We were following him to see where he was heading. After his performance at Hade's club he left off in a hurry. Plus how during the whole dance, he did it without his mask. Now while it's a bit weird, it made everyone a bit concern."

Jay giving out a explanation of why they were following him, as well about how they were connected to the club. While David was confused about this, he looked at Lee seeing how she knew about this. In which Jay and Carlos looked to the pirate woman seeing how she was involved in this strange plan that Trick was doing behind everyone's back.

"Boys. What your friend is doing is personal, along that when he told me about this. It was surprising, even to me. In which he needed something that could hold a item right on top. Now I can't say what it is because he wanted it secret. But what I can tell you that it's happening tonight."

Lee briefing them on what exactly Trick was doing, as well why he needed to see her. So far the three were now curious about what the Oogie Vk was doing if it involved getting payment from Hades, as well that of Lee. Along how that it was going happen tonight, from how she stated it. This was meant to be a secret, in which both Jay and Carlos didn't know what to do.

"Great. So now we gotta wait until it happens right?"

Jay asking her in which Carlos tapped on the side of his shoulder as well nodded, seeing that they couldn't follow him. In which they would decide to wait out and see what exactly he was doing, while David. Was wondering about what this had to deal with his girlfriend, and what exactly could she had given to Trickster.
