You've waited. Now here it is. To all CarVie fans out there, I'm sure you're gonna love this.

Blue Moons, Red Stars

Picking up right where the previous story left off, the four villains kids - Mal, Evie, Jay, and Carlos - have returned to the Isle of the Lost, the island they grew up in. Mal was supposed to be the only one returning because King Ben banished her for Sofia's death, in the name of the people of Auradon, but her friends selflessly relinquished their improved lives in Auradon to make sure Mal isn't alone for the rest of her life.

Mal has returned to her mother's old home in Bargain Castle. Since Maleficent is still Auradon, Mal practically owns the place now. Just thinking about her mother loose on Auradon with unlimited power scares Mal, but she knew Ben had to make a choice that was good for the people. If a simple apology can't make up for the life of Sofia the First, a lifetime imprisonment on the Isle of the Lost seems perfect. Mal takes a tour of her old house and even she had to admit that she kinda missed it. Even though her mother wasn't quite a role model, she enjoyed the creepy, frightening features of the house because it really tells that the owner of the castle is much worse than the look of her own home. Mal enters her room and it was, in her opinion, "a dusty, spider-infested rat hole". She decided to clean up her room. After she was finished, it looked as scary as it was neat. She unpacks her stuff, but the strawberries she packed only made her think of the person who gave them to her. Ben. She was still disappointed in him, but she has made it clear that she understands his reasons. Even though he gave her a wonderful final night in Auradon, her heart is still broken. It was so broken that she gave up the signet ring, the only thing that would remind her of him. With or without it, she knows she will never forget the one person in the world who has truly opened her eyes and her heart to a new life, a life that she might never return to.

Evie is now living with her mother, Evil Queen, in Castle Far Away once again. Her mother welcomed her with open arms, with no sign of disappointment. As soon as she unpacked her stuff, she was immediately sucked back to beauty lessons. She didn't want to admit it, but she missed it. Even though she had a change of heart, she was still the same person from the Isle. The girl who was obsessed with beauty. The girl who was obsessed with being "the fairest of the them all." Despite succumbing to her old ways, she doesn't forget her reason for returning home. Mal. She was her best friend, well, best friend after ignoring Carlos for years, and she treated her like the sister she never had. She would always be there for her no matter what. Even if she has to live a miserable life on the Isle once more, she wants to stick by Mal to the end.

Jay, once the Isle's number one thief, is once again the island's number one thief. He went back to stealing stuff for his father's junk shop. He couldn't help but enjoy himself. He was surprised and disappointed of himself. He thought he was over it, but now that he's back in the place he grew up in, going back to his old ways are turning him into the man he once was. Jay couldn't fight it even though he tried. He decided to ignore this because he knew he came back to the Isle of the Lost to keep Mal company. He maybe back to his thieving ways, but that doesn't mean he is back to just caring about himself. He still cares about his friends. He will always be there to keep an eye on them. If becoming a thief wasn't what saddened him the most, it was the fact that he will never see Audrey again.

Carlos was one of the most miserable villain kids during his youth, mainly because his mother treated him like her personal slave. He was the only one who wanted to leave the Isle of the Lost right away to go to Auradon Prep because he will finally be free. He has grown accustomed to Auradon's ways of living and he was actually happy. Between the food, the technology, the friends he made, and his pet dog, Dude, he considered Auradon home. During Ben's coronation, Carlos was the only one who hesitated changing his ways. The VKs' parents were only a minor reason to his hesitation. The main reason was he would have to give up his villainous ways and he didn't know if he wanted that. He has been fighting his inner demons and he never knew, until a changed Mal opened his eyes. After suffering from a painful truth and the death of Sofia, Carlos has been in a state of depression even worse than when Evie threw away their friendship. However, he did express his feelings to Evie, not through words, but with a kiss. The two have been getting closer and closer ever since his confession and it seems that they're ready to start a relationship. This thought was pushed out of Carlos' head when Mal was being banished to the Isle of the Lost. He was upset that his speech didn't change a thing, but he was happy that Mal was touched by it. It was actually Carlos who was the first to choose abandoning his life in Auradon to accompany Mal. Evie and Jay didn't hesitate a second to join him. Now here is he is, in Hell Hall, serving his mother once again. But remembering his reason for returning is half of what is going to help Carlos survive a lifetime of servitude.

During her first sleep since returning to the Isle, Mal was having trouble keeping her eyes closed and her mind calm. She was having a nightmare. She was back in Auradon and terrorizing innocent people. She found Ben and she intended to kill him. She lights up her hand with fire and shoots a fire blast at him...

"No!" screamed Mal as she woke up from her nightmare. She took several deep breaths, trying to calm down. The next second, she threw a lamp outside the window, breaking it. She is now angry. Angry at herself. She couldn't believe she was having this nightmare. She would never hurt Ben, no matter what he does. She guesses that it's her disappointment in him that fueled her anger. No matter how hard she tried, she can't take her mind off him. She misses him just as much as she wants to punch him in the face right now.

Just like always, whenever she can't sleep, she just stays up all night. However, it's hard for her to stare at the full moon because the barrier is covering the sky.

"Well, Mal, might as well drown your sorrow in strawberries. Besides, Ben promises he'll send more over once in a while," she said to herself. Before looking away from the window, she saw someone wandering through the streets. It was Carlos. He looks like he was making sure no one was watching him. She decided to ignore him and mind her own business.

As she started chowing down strawberries, she started thinking about her mother. She was out there, free to wreck havoc on Auradon, and she was on the Isle, unable to do anything. She knew that Ben would have to trust Maleficent's fate to the villain kids currently in Auradon Prep. She knows she can trust Harley, but she doesn't know about the new villain youth quartet.

The following day, it was just any other day in the Isle of the Lost. Between the teenagers causing trouble and the little children becoming victims of trouble, there was nothing new on this day. In Castle Far Away, Evie and her mom were having beauty lessons.

"Alright, Evie, show me how you apply your eyeliner," started Evil Queen.

Evie strokes her eyelashes gently, which seems to disappoint Evil Queen.

"Too slow, dear," she said.

"I don't want my eyelashes to look like a forest," responded Evie.

"You have really lost your touch," said Evil Queen.

"I was still concerned about my beauty," defended Evie. "That never changed about me."

"Perhaps, except you ignored my teachings," said Evil Queen.

Their argument was cut short by a doorbell. Evie gets up and answers the door. It was Carlos.

"Hey, Carlos," greeted Evie.

"Hey, beautiful," greeted Carlos.

"Oh, stop," said Evie playfully.

"I can't," said Carlos.

"So, why're you here?" asked Evie.

"I thought that... well... I was wondering if..." Carlos paused, trying to figure out what to say. "... maybe you want to... hang out... tonight?"

"You mean like a date?" asked Evie.

"Well, we can't be in a relationship if we haven't gone on a first date," said Carlos.

"I'd love to," answered Evie. "When do we meet?"

"My secret hideout at 7," said Carlos.

"I'll be there," said Evie.

"And make sure to stay beautiful," added Carlos.

"I thought I already am," said Evie.

"I mean don't use your mother's beauty tips to freshen up for tonight," clarified Carlos.

"Oh, got it," replied Evie.

"Goodbye kiss?" asked Carlos.

The two kissed for a brief moment before Carlos departs, winking. Evie winked back. As soon as Evie closed the door, a big smile shows up and she started hyperventilating with joy.

Jay, meanwhile, was running through the streets, escaping the angry mob chasing him after he stole a few of their stuff. As usual, he uses the rooftops to make a clean getaway. He returns to his father's junk shop.

"Welcome back, my boy. What do you have?" started Jafar.

Jay takes out a watering can, a lamp, and a vase.

"Not bad. Not bad," said Jafar. "Well done, Jay."

"Happy to be of service," said Jay not too proud.

"Hey, you love to steal," said Jafar.

"Used to. I mean, I still love it, but..." Jay paused.

"You've been living in Auradon for too long," said Jafar.

"It's only been six months," said Jay. "So, is my shift over?"

"If you wish to take a break, be my guest," said Jafar. "Just be sure you come back when I call."

"I always do," said Jay with little sarcasm.

Jay leaves the junk shop and looks for Mal. He rang the doorbell on Bargain Castle a dozen times and no one answered.

"Looking for me?" said someone suddenly, startling Jay. It was Mal.

"Thank you for heart attack," said Jay sarcastically. "Where were you?"

"Carlos' hideout. He didn't know I was there," said Mal.

"You used his hideout in Auradon as the battleground for your fight with Sofia, and now you're just barging in his happy place without permission," criticized Jay.

"Pretty much," responded Mal. "So, what do you need."

"I just thought you needed some company," said Jay.

"Or you wanted to get away from your father," guessed Mal.

"Okay, a little bit of both," admitted Jay.

Mal tossed him a can of spray paint.

"C'mon, tourney star," said Mal and started walking. Jay followed.

Later, they were at a warehouse, spray-painting on the walls.

"You missed this, don't you?" started Jay.

"Of course, I do. You know how much I love art," said Mal.

"I'm surprised you still kept that mark on your locker after you turned good," said Jay.

"I was surprised, too, but it is a masterpiece. I couldn't get rid of it. Evil or not," said Mal. "So, I saw you getting mushy with Audrey before we left."

Jay was a little uncomfortable at the word "mushy." "Well, it's goodbye," he said.

"Out of all the women in the world and you choose someone who is self-centered and arrogant," commented Mal. "Well, considering you have a big ego of your own, I guess I shouldn't be surprised."

"She made the first move, not me," said Jay. "Remember the coronation party?"

"So, it wasn't you who dragged her to the dance floor. It was the other way around," concluded Mal.

"What about you? Have you and Ben... you know?" asked Jay.

Mal paused for a moment at the mention of the young king. "No," she answered.

"Why not? You guys might never see each other again and you don't even get your first kiss?" criticized Jay. "You're still mad at him, are you?"

"Not mad, just disappointed," said Mal.

"And I see you took of the ring as well," noticed Jay.

"I'm not his anymore," said Mal.

"You don't kiss him and then you break up with him. That's, like, doubling the pain," said Jay.

"Jay, I'm here," reminded Mal.

"So you're going to hold a grudge on your boyfr... sorry... ex-boyfriend for the rest of your life?" questioned Jay.

"It's the people I hold a grudge against. I'm just not proud of Ben's decision," said Mal.

"Let me get this straight. You're disappointed in him, but you understand his reasons. You blame the people and you just take the punishment without question. I seem to recall saying you wish that you would lose the trial," said Jay. "Why?"

"Leave it alone," said Mal. "I may not have magic anymore but I can still threaten you."

"Right, you were still frightening even without magic," mocked Jay humorously.

Mal sprays Jay with her spray paint.

"Hey!" yelled Jay.

"I warned you," said Mal.

"I'm gonna go paint somewhere else," said Jay before walking somewhere else.

Messing with Jay actually made Mal smile. She continues spraying on the wall. She may have hated returning to the Isle of the Lost, but she loved being able to spray paint wherever she wants. She knew she would get into big trouble if she did it in Auradon so she just settled for her locker.

Suddenly, a tin can hits her on the head. She turned around and saw two kids having a tin can war. Mal gave then a threatening glare and they immediately ran away screaming. Mal can't help but enjoy it. Hero or villain, she likes to be feared.

"Maybe coming back here isn't so bad after all," she said.

Elsewhere, Carlos just returned to Hell Hall, his mother's home. He walks upstairs and enters his room. He sits down on his bed to collect his thoughts. He just asked the woman he loves on a date. He still can't believe he finally had the courage to ask her out. He was beginning to get nervous about the date, but he knows that he just has to act like himself. However, his moment was interrupted by a familiar yell.

"Carlos!" yelled Cruella. "Come down here."

"Coming, mom," said Carlos.

He reluctantly gets up and walks downstairs, where his mother is waiting.

"What do you need this time, mother?" asked Carlos.

"Some rotten kids just sprayed graffiti all over the walls outside," said Cruella. "I need you to clean it up."

"Anything else?" asked Carlos.

"After you're finished, you can go to the bathroom and plunge the toilet. It's clogged again," said Cruella.

"Anything else?" asked Carlos, expecting more work.

"I don't have time to tell you everything," said Cruella. "I do have a list." Cruella takes the scroll on the table and gives it to Carlos.

Carlos unrolls the scroll and saw a long list of chores. There were so many chores that Cruella had to write them all down on a really long scroll. Carlos sighs, annoyed. "I'll get right on it, but only until sundown."

"Why?" asked Cruella. "It's not like you have plans."

"Actually, I do have plans tonight," said Carlos.

"Can't you cancel?" asked Cruella. "Don't you want to stay at home and help you dear mommy?"

Pushed to the brink of exploding, Carlos just said, "I'm going on a date."

"And you think that's more important than helping me?" questioned Cruella, hands on her hips.

"This is love, mother. A concept you know nothing about," said Carlos. "I'll do my chores, but only until sundown."

"What do you mean I don't know what love is?" questioned Cruella, feeling offended. "You know I love you." She pinches Carlos' cheek. The boy just kept a stoic look on his face.

"And I love you, too," said Carlos, wearing a fake smile.

"Now, are you considering canceling?" asked Cruella.

"No," said Carlos. "I'm stopping at sundown and that's final."

"Finally standing up for yourself. I don't why, but I like it," responded Cruella.

Carlos just walked away with a bucket in hand. After filling it with water and grabbing a sponge, he walks outside to wash the graffiti off the walls of his home. It stings him to think that Hell Hall is still his home. He knows that Auradon is his true home, because that's where his heart is, but now that he's stuck on the Isle forever, he's going to have to get used to calling the house he's cleaning right now home again.

"Don't worry, Carlos. You can handle this. Remember, you wanted to come back here because of Mal. And remember, you have a special date tonight. You're going to be fine."

The story moves on to the evening, where Evie is getting ready for her date with Carlos. She was in her room beautifying herself, as well as making sure she ignore her mother's beauty lessons, as she promised Carlos. She decided to try something new for their date. She is now wearing a red top, a white scarf with black polka dots, white knee-length pants, black knee-high boots, and wearing the blue rose in her hair. She begins applying her makeup when her mother walks in.

"Why are you dressed like that, my dear?" she asked.

"Well, if you must know, I'm going on a date," said Evie.

"Let me guess. The king is allowing you to leave the Isle to go out with that dwarf?" asked Evil Queen.

"Doug is a great guy, but he's not really my type. My date's here in the Isle," said Evie.

"Can you be any more disappointing?" complained Evil Queen.

"If you were a proper mother, you'd be proud of who I found," said Evie.

"And I see you're still ignoring my lessons," said Evil Queen.

"I promised him I would ignore your lessons," said Evie. "Besides, he already thinks I'm beautiful."

"In that case, he has no taste," said Evil Queen.

"I'm ignoring you now," said Evie as she focused on her makeup.

The doorbell rings.

"Do you want to get that?" asked Evil Queen. Unfortunately, her daughter was still ignoring her. "Fine, I'll do it." Evil Queen answers the door, but it wasn't Carlos. It was Mal.

"Is Evie here?" asked Mal.

"Yes, but I don't think she wants to be bothered," said Evil Queen.

"Why?" asked Mal.

"She's getting pretty for her date," answered Evil Queen.

Mal raises an eyebrow at her before her mind wandered somewhere. A smirk shows up on her face.

"What are you happy about?" asked a confused Evil Queen.

"Oh, nothing, I'm just happy for her," lied Mal. "I'll come back another time. Just tell her I came by."

"Will do," responded Evil Queen before she closes the door.

Mal walks away but she was still thinking about the fact that Evil Queen said that Evie has a date. She had a feeling she knew who the lucky guy was so she decided to hide beside the castle, wait for Evie to come out, and follow her and her mystery date. Suddenly, she saw something glowing inside a create, via a tiny hole. She opens the crate and found what seems to be a rock. From the looks of the edges, it was a fragment.

"Twenty years and no one has ever used this as a Halloween decoration," wondered Mal.

When she turned it around, she found a note stuck to it. She rips it out, unfolds the paper, and reads it. It says, "There are more. Keep them safe." The writer of the note didn't leave his or her name, but Mal knows she has become part of something big.

She looks at her surroundings before putting it behind her back. She was going to find out what it is later. Right now, she was more interest about Evie's date.

Some time later, Evie sneaks out of town and makes it to the East Shore. There, she saw Carlos sitting down on a picnic blanket. He was also wearing something new for their date. He was wearing a sea blue T-shirt, a dark blue coat, black shorts, and sneakers with shades of blue.

"Hey, blue boy," greeted Evie.

"Hey, red hot," greeted Carlos.

"Those are my colors," started Evie.

"You're wearing my colors, too," replied Carlos.

"I guess we both had the same thing in mind," said Evie.

"Pretty much," said Carlos.

"So, a picnic at the beach, huh?" questioned Evie.

"I though we could try something new," said Carlos. "We already hung out in my hideouts, at the park, and the entire Isle. Why not the beach?"

Evie sits down next to him and grabs a muffin.

"If only the barrier was down, we can enjoy the view of the ocean," commented Evie.

"I know, but there's a reason this is up," said Carlos.

"Hey, this muffin's pretty good. Did you make this?" asked Evie.

"Yeah, I did," confirmed Carlos. "I've been taking cooking classes."

"And you never told us?" asked Evie.

"I thought you guys would make fun of me," said Carlos.

"And you're right," responded Evie. "You have got to share these with Mal and Jay."

"I will, but another time," said Carlos.

Evie continued biting through the blueberry cupcake non-stop. Carlos was happy to see that she loves it.

"For a second, I thought I would miss Auradon's food," said Evie, chewing.

"Same here," said Carlos. "But could you finish chewing before you speak?"

"Sorry," apologized Evie as she swallowed. "So, how's things with your mom?"

"Same old, same old," answered Carlos. "Washing her clothes, dusting the furniture, and rubbing ointment on her zits."

"Okay. Gross," replied Evie.

"Yeah, I know," agreed Carlos. "What about you and your mom?"

"Same as always. Beauty tips three times a day," said Evie.

"It feels like we never left all," said Carlos.

The two stared into the moon in the sky, despite the barrier, until Carlos decided to ask Evie something.

"Hey, did you tell Doug about, you know... us?" he asked.

"Um, well, no," said Evie. "I mean, I was going to, but I didn't want to break his heart."

"What about the time you broke my heart? That wasn't so hard," quipped Carlos.

"Carlos!" yelled Evie.

Carlos only let out a smile, amused with himself.

"That was without my awareness. I don't know what it's like to break a heart on purpose," defended Evie. "What about you? Did you tell Jane?"

"Uh..." Carlos hesitated.

"You didn't. Am I right?" guessed Evie.

"Well, I didn't want to see her crying before we left," said Carlos.

"Well, none of the matters now," said Evie as she scooted closer to Carlos.

"They're our friends," retorted Carlos.

"True, but we don't have to worry about breaking their hearts," said Evie. "Here we are. On the Isle. The two of us."

"I suppose being locked up here forever has its advantages," said Carlos.

The two are now just inches from each other, staring into each other's eyes. Instead of kissing, Carlos picks up another muffin and feeds it to Evie.

"To think that an island filled with villains can have only one gentleman," said Evie.

"What would've happened if I never met you?" wondered Carlos.

"You'd be even more miserable because you won't have friend to comfort you," answered Evie.

"That was a rhetorical question," said Carlos.

"But it's true," said Evie. "Now answer this rhetorical question? What would've happened if I never met you?"

"You and Mal would still be mortal enemies," answered Carlos.

"Right, but also I would never learn compassion," said Evie. "To think of what I would've become if I mixed my beauty with an even nastier personality."

"I would probably be terrified of you," said Carlos.

Evie chuckled a bit. "Do you think it's just luck that you happened to be there when Mal was bullying me? Or is it fate?"

"I like to think it was fate," said Carlos. "Before you forgot about our friendship, you completed me. I was alone, but I gained a friend. I was scared to face anyone, but you changed that."

"You seem fine that I shape your life," pointed out Evie.

"Everyone has been lecturing me about letting you manage my life, but I don't listen," said Carlos. "They say I have to be my own man one day, but I think I already am, thanks to you."

"I wouldn't want you to change," said Evie. "There's a saying that no one is perfect, but you prove that wrong."

"I don't know. I mean, I'm still kind of a coward. That's a flaw," replied Carlos.

"Everyone has flaws," said Evie. "But to me, you have none."

The next few minutes, Evie continues eating Carlos' cupcakes while Carlos thinks about what Mal told him. He already knew Evie has feelings for him and she knew how he felt about her. Still, he's bothered that he's not brave enough to tell her three simple words.

"Hey, I almost forgot. I wanted to show you something," said Carlos. He stood up. "Wait here. And please don't eat all of that."

Two minutes later, Carlos returned with a box filled with fireworks and some disks. He saw that Evie has finished all the cupcakes.

"Sorry," apologized Evie.

"Never mind," said Carlos.

"What's all that?" asked Evie.

"Just watch," said Carlos

He sets up the fireworks and takes out a disk. He immediately lights up the fireworks and tosses the disk like a frisbee towards the barrier. The disk created a hole in the barrier and the fireworks launch outside the barrier's perimeter. The blow up and form red and blue lights in the sky that shape into the crowned heart, resembling to Evie's necklace.

Evie smiled and marveled at this while Carlos was simply glad that he pleased her. After a while, the hole in the barrier patches up itself and the lights are gone. Carlos sits down next to Evie.

"What do you think?" he asked her.

"That was amazing," she answered. "You did all this for me?"

"I stayed up an entire night to work on those," explained Carlos.

"And let me guess. Those disks release EMPs," guessed Evie.

"Yup," confirmed Carlos.

"You're the best," complimented Evie.

Carlos blushed and looked away for a moment, until Evie grabbed his face and made him look at her. Carlos was about to say something, but he hesitated.

"Well, are you going to say something?" asked Evie.

"I... don't know what to say," said Carlos.

"I know you're trying to say something," said Evie. "So c'mon. Spit it out."

"Well... I... um..." Carlos continued to hesitate.

"You know what, never mind. Tell me when you want to," said Evie.

"So, now that we're here. What are you gonna do for your future?" asked Carlos.

"Probably open up my own fashion store. Sure, resources here are very limited, but I'm going with it," answered Evie. "What about you?"

"I don't know," said Carlos. "I guess all I have in mind is settling down with someone."

"Someone like me?" guessed Evie.

"Well, you're the only princess for this commoner," said Carlos, confirming her guess.

"What do you see in me?" asked Evie.

"The fairest of them all," answered Carlos.

Evie smiled and blushed.

"What do you see in me?" asked Carlos.

"My prince charming," answered Evie, making Carlos smile. "I should've seen it from the start."

"Don't beat yourself up. You and Mal were kicking it off and I wanted you two to be friends. Doesn't matter what you did to me," said Carlos.

"Well, I blame my mother. She was, after all, the reason I wanted a prince," said Evie. "And to think, he was right there the whole time."

Carlos' heart was beating out of the control. He decided it's now or never.

"Hey, um, Evie, I... uh... want to tell you something," he started. "It's what I wanted to say earlier."

"Well, what?" asked Evie, curious.

Carlos takes hold of both Evie's hands and says, "You know I have feelings for you, right?"

"I think the kiss pretty much says everything," said Evie.

"Well, not exactly 'everything,'" said Carlos.

"So what are you trying to say?" asked Evie.

Carlos hesitated for a moment until he finally says it. "I love you."

Evie was frozen with shock.

Carlos continued. "It's all I've been wanting to say for a long time. If I had to be locked up in this island forever, I want to be with you... until the end."

Evie was still frozen.

"Well?" wondered Carlos.

Evie cups his face in her hand and tells him, "You have no idea how long I've wanted to hear those words. And I'm sure you wanted to hear these words come from me." She puts her other hand on his face and says, "I love you, too."

Evie pulls Carlos closer and kisses him on the lips. Carlos kisses back. The two kissed with so much force that Evie ended up pushing Carlos down. She was now on top of him. The two pulled apart and laughed a little.

"That was pretty intense," said Evie.

"Do you want to stop?" asked Carlos.

"Of course, not," said Evie.

Carlos and Evie kissed again. They kept it soft and simple. They would've stayed like this for the rest of the evening, only they pulled away after three minutes.

"Does this make us a couple?" asked Evie.

"Well, if you want us to," replied Carlos.

"I did say, 'I love you,' didn't I?" reminded Evie. "Of course, I do. My question is, 'Do you want me to be yours?'"

"More than anything," answered Carlos.

"Then I'm all yours," said Evie.

The two adjusted themselves so they would sit down properly. The two stare at the stars in the sky, despite the barrier. Evie rests her head on Carlos' shoulder and closes her eyes, enjoying his company. Carlos leans over and rests his head on her head, closing his eyes as well.

From the distance, a certain purple-haired sorceress was watching the two lovers enjoying themselves at the beach. She was actually happy to see them finally getting together. She looks back at the fragment she found but she couldn't take her eye off the two lovebirds having a moment. All she wanted was for Carlos to be brave enough to confess his feelings and for Evie to finally open her eyes to her heart's true desire. And from the look of things, it seems that they both finally did.

"I'm proud of you, guys," she said before leaving.

After a while, the two opened their eyes and looked at each other again.

"Can you think of anything make this moment any better?" asked Carlos rhetorically.

"I know that's a rhetorical question, but I think maybe a little swim," suggested Evie.

Carlos knew what she meant. He grabs every disk in the box and throws all of them one at a time at the barrier, opening another hole.

"How long will it last?" asked Evie.

"About five minutes," answered Carlos.

"Then let's hurry," said Evie as she grabs Carlos and drags him towards the water.

The two jumped into the water. They almost drowned for a moment, but used their hands and legs to keep themselves afloat. Soon enough, they were able to remain floating without struggling.

"I guess the key to swimming is not panicking," said Carlos.

"Maybe next time we'll take Mal here," said Evie.

"She'll break your nose for reminding her of that date with Ben," said Carlos. "Besides, I don't have enough resources to create a disk that will open a hole for a long time."

Suddenly, water splashed at Carlos' face. Evie was laughing. Carlos decided to play this game and splashed water at Evie. The two kept on splashing water at each other until Evie started diving. She resurfaces behind Carlos and drags him underwater. Fifteen seconds later, Carlos swims back to the surface, gasping for air. Evie started laughing again.

"That wasn't funny!" he yelled.

"I beg to differ. It was," said Evie, smiling.

"You know what else is funny? Your makeup dripping down your face," pointed out Carlos.

Evie touches her face and realizes that the water is causing her makeup to melt. Carlos laughed a little.

"How long do we have?" asked Evie.

"About thirty seconds," answered Carlos. "We should go now."

The two swam back to shore before the hole in the barrier patches up itself. Carlos grabs some towels from his hideout and gives one of them to Evie. She started wiping her hair and face clean. When she was finished, there was no makeup on her face, except for a little spot on her cheek.

"How do I look?" asked Evie.

"You still look great," said Carlos.

"Are you sure?" questioned Evie.

"Would I ever lie to you?" replied Carlos.

"Then kiss me," said Evie.

Carlos didn't hesitate for a second to do it. As soon as the two were finished kissing, Carlos used his towel to wipe the last bit of makeup on her cheek.

Later that evening, Carlos was walking Evie home.

"I trust you had a pleasant evening," said Carlos.

"The best night of my life. So far," replied Evie.

"Don't you think it's too soon to be thinking about 'that'?" questioned Carlos.

Evie puts both of her arms around Carlos and tells him, "You're the only man for this woman. Whether we're here in the Isle or out there in Auradon, you're the only one I want to be with for the rest of my life. I'll be there for you until the very end. That's a promise I'm keeping forever."

The two stared at each other's eyes until they kissed again. After pulling apart, Evie opens the door.

"Goodnight, Evie," said Carlos.

"Goodnight, C," said Evie as she closes the door.

Carlos was a little surprised at what she called him, but he knows that sometimes couples come up with nicknames for each other. He was actually thinking about a nickname for her. He chose to think about this tomorrow. He walks back to his home.

The following morning, Mal was still examining the fragment she found. She heard a knock on the door. She answers it and saw Evie.

"Hey, M," greeted Evie.

"Hey, E," greeted Mal. "What do you want?"

"The boys and I are going to Dragon Hall. I mean, we still have to go to school," said Evie. "Aren't you coming?"

"No, E, I'm not. The Dragon Hall is where they teach you to be bad, remember?" responded Mal.

"We know, but our parents are still making us go," said Evie.

"Well, my mom is not here, so there's no one to tell me to go to school," said Mal. "Besides, I don't think I need to learn being bad anymore."

"Let me guess... the darkness in your blood?" asked Evie.

"Every drop of blood in me is black, Evie. I can become worse than rotten to the core if I wanted to. I did murder someone without hesitation," said Mal. "Besides, I've got something to do."

"Mope around about Ben?" guessed Evie.

"Not exactly," said Mal. "It's private business. I'll tell you and the guys when the time is right."

"Well, if that's what you wish. See ya." Evie leaves.

Mal locks the door and goes back to the fragment. She looks at the note again. It said there are more fragments. The Isle may not be very large, but it's big enough that the fragments can be anywhere and it would take Mal probably forever to find all of them. She doesn't even know how many of them are.

"Whoever you are, you better have left a clue of who your are," she said.

She decided to forget about the fragment and gets ready for school. She wanted to go now because of her friends. She always loves their company. She then thought about Evie and Carlos. She would be expecting them to be making out in a closet or making googly eyes at each other all day, but it will comfort her because they finally decided to hook up.

She hides the fragment under a loose floorboard in her room and leaves the castle.

I hope you CarVie fans loved it. Evie and Carlos are finally in a relationship. Just wait for the next update. If you want spoilers, all I will be revealing is that, in the next story, you will know how things in Auradon are going.
