A/N: Thank you much for all the kind reviews and reading this fic. It means a lot. Unfortunately, I'm a student and have lots of essays and tests, so I may update quite regularly but then go dormant for a week or two. However, I am very invested in this fic and I'm not planning to abandon it. Also, I would like to note that on my profile, I've set up a progress report sort of thing, so you all can see how far I'm in for typing the next chapter.

ALSO, I just realized that there was another Descendants fanfic with the same title. While it's only a minor detail, I might want to change it. Any suggestions? They would all be appreciated.

Chapter 1

This was it. They were leaving. Mal turned to greet the others in silence as they walked up to her. They turned to look at the place they called home, possibly for the last time. What was there to say? They were grateful they were leaving, yet they were unsure of what was to come. If they stuck to the plan and failed, they probably would end up back here. Their failure would set it up to be even worse.

Mal huffed and straightened herself up. There's no time like the present to cause havoc, that was her mother always said. She turned to the others and gave them a ghost of a smile.

"Well guys, this is it," she stated. They nodded in agreement. They looked over their shoulders again. Just then, they noticed the barrier shifting colors a bit before a limo pulled through and onto the Isle.

"Whoa," Carlos said. There wasn't much transportation, if at all, on the island. And this was a limo; talk about high class for those Auradon people. It made Mal seeth a little inside. Here, they were scraping by to survive, and the so-called good people gets luxuries?

"You guys ready?" the limo driver called out. The gang all nodded and began to help him put their stuff in the trunk. If he noted that they each only had one small bag, he didn't say anything. Finally, there was nothing left to stall.

"Will they come say good-bye?" Evie asked in a small voice. The four friends all looked back again. Mal guessed that was what they kept waiting for.

Jay took a deep breath, "I guess they aren't coming. Let's go." With that, he jumped into the back seat.

Once we were all situated, the limo driver closed the door and began to drive. We took in our surroundings. We were sitting in a large area with soft, leather seats. They were softer and better than Evie's bed, and her's was the best out of the four of them. Mal glanced at the shelves of goodies across from them. Their jaws dropped; it was so much food. Their stomachs growled and decided to dive in without hesitation. Jay and Carlos continued to fight over various candies while Evie was chewing on a lollipop and Mal had a piece of chocolate in her mouth. The tastes were so heavenly, so much better than anything they had ever eaten on the Isle.

On the drive to Auradon, they talked aimlessly about things, from the Isle to what it'll be like on Auradon. They even talked to the driver for a few moments, about remotes. He seemed skeptical about them and drew the partition up, though the four teens didn't care much about it. Finally, they began to draw to the end of the car ride, arriving at Auradon Prep. Mal noticed there was a bunch of people in the front to greet them. She wondered if they were forced to be there; not many people would want the kids of villains with them. With a sigh, she nudged the others to tell them to get ready. Evie immediately began to go over her outfit and makeup, fussing over them. Jay and Carlos of course ignored her, scuffling with each other over candy instead.

They finally pulled up to the school and they all piled out. Carlos and Jay kept wrestling until Mal hissed at them to stop. They scrambled up just as Mal noticed a lady wearing a blue dress along with a boy and girl around their age. The boy was wearing a uniform while the girl was wearing a pink dress. Mal rolled her eyes, who in their right mind would wear pink?

"Welcome to Auradon Prep! I'm Fairy Godmother, the headmistress of this school. I hope you had a pleasant trip here," she began. Mal cringed at the bubbliness in her voice. Are all people like that here, she thought. She turned to the others and noticed the same reactions.

"The Fairy Godmother?" Mal queried, "As in Bibbity-Bobbidy-Boo? As in the magic wand?" The others looked at the lady with interest. Already minutes in, and the object of their plan has been mentioned.

"Bibbity-bobbidy-you know it. But it is all in the past. I like to tell people to focus on their future," she exclaimed enthusiastically.

"I'm Ben," the guy cut in. The girl next to him chimed in that he was also the Prince, soon to be king. But honestly, Mal wasn't paying her any mind. Her voice was just an annoying background noise. She was still more focused on the wand. It was here.

"Ben and Audrey will be showing you around Auradon. I'll see you all tomorrow! Don't forget, there's a curfew," the headmistress said cheerfully before walking off. Ben began going off on a speech, shaking each of their hands. He was looking at her intensely for a minute, Mal noticed; or she could have imagined it. Ben kept going on about how their two people will begin to heal.

Mal rolled her eyes at that. "Or the day you show 4 people where the bathrooms are," she spoke up sarcastically.

"Too over the top?" he asked.

"Just a little bit," she said snarkily.

They began to walk back towards the main entrance of the school. Mal noticed Audrey giving her an apprehensive stare, but did nothing more than that. While Mal sort of wished she said something so she could snark back, she conceded it probably would be better if they tried to avoid each other altogether.

Ben showed us into the hallway of the school. He then introduced us to this guy named Doug, the son of one of the dwarves. He showed us to our rooms and gave us our schedules, all the while rattling off the rules to us. Mal didn't really care for much of it, choosing to tune out the timid teen as she followed after him. Eventually, he dropped them all off at two different rooms, mentioning we aren't allowed to be in the others. Like we would listen anyways, Mal thought.

Mal and Evie peered into their room after the guys left.

"This is so amazin-" Evie gasped, before being cut off by Mal who said, "Gross."

"Psh, yeah. It's so amazingly gross," Evie amended. Although Mal could tell through the uncontainable excitement that Evie liked the room.

Mal sighed. Evie was just too easy to please. Anything that was princess-y (was that even a word?) she liked. Although, now that Mal thought about it, Evie did have great taste when it came to fashion. She flicked her hands at the windows, and she and Evie pulled the curtains back in. Honestly, there was just so much sunlight.

Mal briefly pondered about that. There wasn't much sunlight on the Isle, so did they perform magic to keep it so dreary? Or was it just a side effect of the magic to contain all the villains.

Speaking of magic, Mal turned to Evie, "Let's go find the boys. We have things to plan."

With that, the girls wandered around the halls for a good ten minutes before actually finding the boys' dorms. It took another five to find the right door. Jay opened the door, not at all surprised to see them. Rules are made to be broken anyways. Mal peered inside, and she sighed. The boys' room seems much more appealing to her with the oak walls and furniture. Why do people automatically assume girls like pink?

She glanced over to the tv and watched as Carlos was engrossed in a hands on video game. She smiled; trust Carlos to find the technology the most interesting. Well, at least he was playing a game that involved ducking and dodging opponents. That may come in handy in the future.

Mal situated herself onto a seat and grabbed her spell book. She began to browse, hoping to search for a spell to get the magic wand. Or any spell really, something she can use to practice. She glanced up and to her frustration no one else was doing anything productive to help. Couldn't they see that they had work to do? It wasn't fun and games; they had to get the wand. Or else. What would happen to them if they fail?

"Guys," she called out exasperatedly. "We have a wand to plan for. What are you guys doing? Nothing!"

"Chill out, Mal," Evie said, laughing. "We'll get it; I know we will."

"Yeah, but we need to focus. How will we get it? Don't you guys know what will happen to us if we don't!?"

"Well yeah," Carlos said, "bad things, but we just got here. I know you want to be evil Mal, but...what did your mother say? It didn't happen overnight?"

"Yeah," Mal grumbled, "easy for her to say though. She's not on the receiving end of her own tempers."

The others grimaced at that. They knew all too well the wrath of Maleficent, and the wrath of their respective parents for that matter.

Just then, there was a knock on the door. The group exchanged glances, who could that be? They weren't close to anyone yet, not that they want to be or will be.

Jay went to go answer the door. When he opened it, Ben was at the door with a smiling face.

"Hey guys!" he said cheerfully, "I came to pick you guys up to show you where we will eat. We'll pick up the girls along the way."

"No need," Mal piped up, "we're right here."

Truth be told, all of them were anxious to get some food. While they did have some on the car ride, those were sweets and didn't really amount to anything. Mal and Evie had been bickering earlier about if they were going to be provided food here. Mal didn't think so, but Evie did, at least at the beginning while they were settling in she had amended.

Ben looked at the two girls in surprise. "You guys know you aren't allowed to be in here right?"

"Of course," Evie smirked, "doesn't mean we will listen."

"Lead the way princeling," Jay mocked.

Ben shook his head at them but said nothing more. He tried to think of something to talk to them about, but he realized that they didn't have much in common. Well, he amended, nor anything that he knew of. He didn't know them that well, if at all. To his relief, Carlos spoke up.

"So," Carlos began, "how does all this food stuff work?"

"Well," Ben started, "we eat in the cafeteria. There is all sorts of foods you can choose from. You just grab a tray and grab something you want to eat. It's all very simple, and the food is the best."

"Sweet," Jay exclaimed, and the other murmured their agreement.

"So...we only get this meal?" Mal asked hesitantly.

Ben frowned at her, "No. You get three meals a day: breakfast, lunch, and dinner. You guys just came after lunch, so we were waiting to take you to dinner. Sorry if you guys were hungry before that."

"We're used to it," Evie replied absentmindedly.

Carlos on the other hand was ecstatic. "Three meals a day!? Awesome!"

Ben looked at them strangely. Were they hinting at what he thought? That made him sick to his stomach. They didn't have enough food on the Isle? Well, they didn't say that, he argued. Let's just see how the dinner goes.

They finally entered the cafeteria, and the chattering quieted down. This was the first time everyone got an actual good glimpse at the new transfers from the island.

The four teens were too busy gaping at the food to pay any mind to the blatant stares they were receiving. They could eat all this!? Carlos thought. All this food could last them months at a time on the Isle. This was what the people in Auradon got on a daily basis? It seemed unreal, to see that their problems were so different than the people that lived here.

Finally snapping out of her trance, Mal nudged the others to snap to attention again. She noticed that everyone was watching them now. While this slightly unnerved her, she took it into stride. Why would she care what they think? However, she decided they should be careful how they would act in front of others. They shouldn't show too much emotion, she decided, that would be showing a weakness. Just as she turned to the others, however, Carlos and Jay hollered and ran to all the food. Mal and Evie exchanged exasperated glances, though Evie did give a small, fond smile directing towards the boys.

They followed them though in a much more subdued manner. Mal couldn't even begin to fathom all the food. While the boys were trying to grab basically everything, the girls picked and chose what they needed to eat. Mal grabbed a piece of bread and some cheese to go along with it. However, she did grab an extra loaf of bread and some apples, so they can bring it back to their room later. They can never be too careful. Evie followed in the same manner, but she grabbed some noodles and some extra grapes and pre-made sandwiches.

By the time they finished and had grabbed some crystal clear water(Mal couldn't believe they had water that sparkled), the boys had already found a table to sit at. The group dove right in and was already halfway done by the time Ben joined them, this time with Doug.

Ben chuckled, "You guys don't need to eat so fast. It's not like anyone's gonna steal it."

Wrong words to say. The four teens stopped eating before turning to stare at him. Ben shifted underneath their gaze, not really sure what had transpired.

"If we don't eat fast on the island," Jay began lowly, "then it will be taken away from us. Whether from our parents or others, it didn't matter. You eat to survive. You steal to survive. Don't you dare mock us," he growled.

"Hold your horses guys," Ben said nervously, "I wasn't trying to mock you. I was just saying-"

"We know what you were saying," Mal cut him off, miffed. "Now if you excuse us, we'd like to finish this in our rooms."

With that, they grabbed their plates and headed back towards the dorm rooms. Unbeknownst to them, the whole cafeteria had heard what they said. Whispers broke out, but Ben was deep in a thought, reeling back on what the newcomers had said. Was it really true then? Of the things happened on the island?

Ben turned to Doug, "We need to find out what happened there," he said. Doug nodded in agreement, thinking after the girl with blue hair.

From the few hours that the descendents of the villains had been here, they had shown signs of being through lots of hardship. Ben hoped it wasn't as bad as he began to think it would be, but he had a sinking feeling in his stomach. Did they cause all of that?

A/N: Thanks so much for reading! Sorry it took so long, so I decided to make this a longer for you guys. I know it's not really eventful, but this is more of a filler chapter to show them getting situated and all that. Be on the lookout of the next chapter and leave a review! :D
