ALI

I watched out the window as Jay drove over the magic bridge and we entered the Isle. It had been an unusually quiet and tense drive over. No one really knew what to say to anyone. My thoughts were consumed with Carlos and how he told me I couldn't help Mal. I still can't believe he told me that! How could he think that? After everything we had been through together. If he thinks I can't help Mal does he also think I can't help him? Of course, I decided to come so I could help get Mal back, but maybe if I prove to Carlos, and to myself, that I can make it on the Isle then things will go back to normal.

"Okay," Evie said as Jay pulled off under the bridge, "Let's go."

We all climbed out of the limo and Carlos nodded to Ben, "Ben, help me with the tarp."

Carlos and Ben grabbed a tarp from a dumpster and threw it over the other side. Jay, Evie, and I grabbed the other side and pulled it over the limo. As we managed to cover the limo, Evie turned to Jay.

"It's really weird being back here."

I walked over to look through a tunnel with Ben, we could hear shouting coming from the other end. Ben turned around and asked, "What's in here?"

Jay came running over to pull us back, "You don't want to know."

The three of us walked over to Carlos and Evie, I noticed that Carlos's eyes almost never left mine, "Keep it chill, we don't need our parents figuring out we are here."

Jay and Evie nodded and Ben and I let the three of them lead the way. Not like Ben and I knew where we were going anyways. I walked in between Jay and Carlos, Ben was behind Carlos and Evie was next to him. We turned a corner into a shopping area of some sort, but I highly doubt that money was given very often. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw two kids run up behind Evie and next thing I knew, they were mugging her.

"Hey, Stop!" Jay, Carlos and I stopped and looked behind us, to see Evie grabbing her wallet back out of their hands. She paused and looked at them, letting go, "Just take it. Go on."

She turned to look at us as the kids ran off, "Ben," That's when we noticed that he had kept walking on ahead of us.

We ran to catch up with him in time to see him trying to shake hands with someone. Someone who really didn't look like they wanted to shake his hand. Evie pulled him back as the stranger squared up to fight. I watched as Carlos made him back down, which was kind of impressive. I turned my attention back to Evie and Ben.

"The isn't a parade it's the Isle." Evie whispered furiously.

Jay walked up to them, "Keep your hands in your pockets, unless you're stealing."

Carlos gently guided me over as he spoke up, "Either slouch or strut."

Evie looked at both of us, "And never, ever smile."

I nodded and Ben attempted to say thank you but Evie interrupted him, "No, and drop the 'Please' too. Just chill."

She walked behind us, "Let me tell you something you can really trust," She put her hands on one of our shoulders, "Everybody has a wicked side."

"I know you think that you can never be like us," She walked back to face us, "Watch and learn so you can get it right."

Jay and Carlos walked forwards with Evie, "You need to drag your feet. You need to nod your head. You need to lean back, slip through the cracks."

The three of them turned to face us again, "You need to not care."

Carlos walked closer to us, "Uh," he looked at Ben, "You need to not stare." He looked at me and winked as he walked past us with Jay.

"You need a whole lot of help."

Evie moved us to the side, "You need not be yourself. You wanna be cool? Let me show how. You don't break the rules. I could show you how. And once you catch this feeling."

Jay and Carlos joined in, and the three of them started dancing, "Yeah, once you catch this feeling. You'll be chillin', chillin', chillin' like a villain. Chillin' like a villain. Chillin' like a villain. Chillin' like a, chillin' like a villain."

Ben and I had joined in the dancing, well I joined in, Ben attempted. I got the dance moves down well, Jay shot me an impressed look. Ben hadn't quite mastered them yet. We followed Evie, Jay and Carlos down another alley.

"You draw attention when you act like that," Evie stopped Ben from making a fool of himself again. Her, Jay, and Carlos jumped on top of a railing, "Let us teach you how to disappear. You look like you could lose a fight with an alley cat." I could resist, I pushed Ben and he fell, Jay pulled me up onto the railing next to him.

"You gotta be wrong to get it right 'round here." Again, I could keep up with their dancing, even on the railing, "You need to watch your back. You need to creep around. You need slide real smooth." Ben got up, but managed to kick a metal bucket and send it crashing across the floor. "Don't make a sound," we jumped down from the railing, "And if you want it, take it. And if you can't take it, break it. If you care about your health,"

"Seriously, you need to not be yourself," Evie advised Ben again as he sat on the railing with us. "You wanna be cool? Let me show you how. You don't break the rules. Let me show you how. And once you catch this feeling."

"Yeah, once you catch this feeling, you'll be chillin', chillin', chillin' like a villain." Ben did a little better with the moves this time, he got some of them right. I was still killing it if I do say so myself. "Chillin' like a villain."

Ben stood and walked around the three Isle natives, "I really wanna be bad a lot and I'm giving it my best shot. But it's hard being what I'm not."

Carlos patted his shoulder and shrugged, "Well if you don't, you're gonna get us caught."

Evie joined in again, "You gotta stay low key. Now, show us how bad you can be."

Ben pulled out a pair of sunglasses, "Like this?" He pulled out Jay's wallet, "Like this?" He pulled out Carlos's phone. Ben's quite the pic-pocketer. "Oh yeah, I think I got this. Let's go, I'm ready to rock this. And I ain't gonna thank you for your help. I think I found the worst in myself."

Ben led the way and got every move down perfectly, "You wanna be cool? Let me show you how. You don't break the rules. I could show you how. And once you catch this feeling, yeah once you catch this feeling, you'll be chillin', chillin', chillin' like a villain. Chillin' like a villain. Chillin' like a villain. Chillin' like a villain. Chillin' like a villain."

Jay came up to me, "You know, I always thought if there was once person in Auradon who make it on the Isle with the least amount of help, it would be you."

I let out a smile laugh, "Thanks, I guess."

Jay laughed with me and I knew Carlos was watching us; but I couldn't tell if he had heard anything. We made our way down an alley, following Evie. When a villain kid came out of a shop and bumped into Ben.

The kid looked surprised the he hit someone as he turned around, "Hey man, I know you."

Oh no. Ben coughed and looked down, "No you don't. I don't know you either."

The kid laughed, "Uh, yeah you do. Let me help, my dad is quick, slick, and his neck, "The kid gestured to his neck, "is incredibly thick."

Gaston's son, who seemed to be about as smart as Chad, I couldn't help myself as I leaned forward, "Does he use antlers in all of his decorating?"

Jay and Carlos both shot me a look. Jay looked like he was about to burst out laughing and Carlos's look was more like a 'please don't say anything look'.

Gaston's son looked at a poster for cotillion behind us, "Wait, your King Ben," He turned to me, "and your Sleeping Beauty's daughter, Ali."

"Okay, let's go." Evie and Jay quickly pulled Ben and I out of there.

I could still hear him, "And you're Jay, Carlos, Evie. Hey guys."

We stopped at the end of the alley, "Okay, so the Chad of the Isle just recognized us."

Jay laughed, and picked a rock off the ground. Carlos looked at me, "That's Gil. He may seem like a complete idiot, but his friends aren't. We need to get out of here quick."

Jay threw the rock at a 'Watch out for falling rocks' sign. How ironic. The sign moved backwards a metal get moved up, revealing a staircase. Okay, now that was impressive. Ben started to walk up the stairs.

"Wish me luck."

Evie looked after him, "Good luck." She stood at the bottom of the stairs.

Carlos sat on a barrel, I leaned again the wall behind him, and Jay leaned against the opposite wall. Jay looked over at us, "Okay, something is going on between you two," he pointed between Carlos and I, "And it's weird, and it needs to be sorted out."

Evie nodded, "Yeah you two are usually inseparable. As worried as I am about Mal, I'm also worried about you guys."

Carlos sighed and looked back at me, I caught his eyes and he nodded like he wanted me to say something. So, I did, "We just had a fight. We'll be okay guys, really. We just need some time."

Evie nodded and looked back up the stairs. Jay was still staring at us, "So are you guys going to…"

"Break up?" Carlos practically screamed at him, "No! It's just a fight, Jay."

Evie stepped in again, "Boys! Focus on that when we get back to Auradon please."

Jay and Carlos fell silent. I wasn't sure how long we waited there for Ben. A few minutes a few hours, it really didn't matter, not one of us was able to relax even in the slightest. After what felt like an eternity, Ben walked down the stairs, but he was alone.

Evie was the first to comment on it, "Where's Mal?"

Ben shook his as he continued to walk away, "She's not coming."

"Ben," I quickly walked after him, "Ben!" He paused but didn't turn around. I almost caught up to him when I felt someone grab my arm.

Thinking it was my boyfriend I turned, "Carlos…" I trailed off when I realized I wasn't staring into the eyes of Carlos, but into the eyes of a pirate. A pirate with some seriously good eyeliner skills.

"Guess again, dearie," He gave a wicked smile, and only then did I realize there was a hook around my arm. Oh no.

CARLOS

"Guys," I looked around, "Where did Ben and Ali go?"

Evie looked down the alley and called, "Ben! Ali!" A figure started to walk towards us and we let out a sigh of relief. "Ben, don't scare us like that."

"Don't scare you? That's my specialty." The figure stepped closer and Harry Hook was standing in front of us. Uma's lackey. This cannot be good.

Jay stepped forwards, "What did you do with Ben?"

Harry leaned forwards and acted like he was thinking, "Uh, let's see, we captured him." He looked at me, "And your little kitten, too."

"What do you want with Ali?" I had a venom in my voice I didn't know I possessed. Even though Ali and I are fighting, I still love her.

Harry smiled evilly, and it didn't help my deposition, "True, the girl might be a bit," He paused as he looked from me to Evie to Jay, "Unnecessary. But," He looked back at me, "She was just too pretty to pass up."

"Don't you dare touch her!"

Harry cackled, "Might be a little late for that warning!" He looked back to Evie, "If you want them back, Uma wants to see Mal at the chip shoppe, alone." He turned and sauntered down the alley, whistling as he went.

My jaw was clenched and my fists were balled. I was beyond upset right now. I didn't know whether to scream, or cry, or beat someone up. Jay looked at me, and put his hand on my shoulder.

"Come on, guys." Evie climbed up the side of the gate since Mal locked it. "Let's go see Mal."
