The villains all sat around the round kitchen table. Hades had found a few cans of chicken noodle soup tucked away in one of the cabinets. He heated up four which was plenty for the six of them.
Grace ended up loving the new food. Not in a long time had she tasted something this good. She ended up asking for seconds, and then thirds but Hades told her to hold off and let her food digest. Last thing he wanted was a mess to clean up, if you know what I mean.
Eventually Pain and Panic finished, and they offered to play with Grace. Allowing the three adults to get down to business. Well they were, until a buzzing sound soon came from the kitchen wall. A phone hung on it and gave out an annoying *ring* noise.
"What's that?" Facilier questions.
"It's a phone you nitwit!" Cruella shouted as she got up from the table and answered it. "Hello?"
A man spoke on the other end. His voice was creepy, yet to the point. "Hey Julie, me and the boys were still wondering if you're still hosting next friday? Carlos wants to get an extra ticket for a friend."
"I'm sorry, I think you have the wrong number. No one by the name of Julie lives in this address. At least, not any more."
"What about grace?"
Cruella looks over at her fellow villains, her face spelled shocked and weary "Who asking?"
"I don't think you're familiar with the operation that's run at the house you now live in Miss. Tell you what, I'll take that pesky girl off your hands for a wonderful price, all you gotta do is name it."
Cruella's face went bright red as she screamed "Listen here buster, you ever think of calling this number again or showing up at this address I swear i'll come after you and kill you!"
The man on the other end keeped his cool "Whatever, just know I'm not the only customer who's gonna call this number. Julie had a lot of men attend her party's, I wouldn't be surprised if you have some visitors this week. But if I were you I would keep that girl in her job, she makes a lot of dough doing what she does." He chuckles darkly as he hang up.
Cruella listens to the beep on the other side for a second before slamming the phone on the wall. "That bitch!"
Both men raise a brow as Hades questions "Who was that?"
"That lady was apparently hosting one of her "party's" this friday to show off Grace. And that guy on the phone just tried to bargain with me to sell her or keep her for the money!"
Both men gave a surprised look, but Hades looked more like he was gonna burst into a fit.
Facilier turned to hades "Hades calm yourself, we don't need you bursting the manor into flames."
"Calm myself. Facilier, that women only used Grace as nothing but a maid and money maker. Now grown ass men are gonna come here and expect a performance and you expect me to stay calm!" he slammed his hands onto the table as he stood.
Facilier merely smiled "exactly."
Hades frozen and blinked. "What?"
"Well these men are expecting a show, I say we give them one. It's only a matter of time before the rest of us show up, and by the speed we all did, will have more than half by the time next friday rolls around."
"So you're suggesting that we put on a show to scare them off?"
"Precisely." he leaned back in his chair, putting his hands behind his head. "It's simple, we use our villainy skills to put on a show that is sure to scare them off for good. All we need to do is wait for the others to show up so we can come up with a plan."
As if on cue, red smoke appeared in the kitchen revealing yet another one of their own. All the villains turn to see that it was the ex-royal vizier from Agrabah, Jafar. Along with his companion Iago.
"Oh great, now look at what you did!" Iago complained from Jafars shoulder.
Hades smiled at what he would call his best friend "Jaffy buddy, good to see you!"
Jafar gave him a disapproving look. "How many times must I tell you, don't call me that! Where are we anyways, I swear if this is another one of your attempts to get back at jerk-culies you can count me out of it."
Cruella crossed over to him and placed a hand on his shoulder "Oh relax darling, we had nothing to do with you being brought here. In Fact none of us know how we got here. All we know is that we were and this manor is owned by Grace."
"Grace?"
Facilier gestured to the open seat next to him "I suggest you take a seat, Jafar, this is going to be a long story."
Meanwhile up stairs, Pain and Panic were watching Grace in the small dance room her grandmother had built. It was a bright pink color with a mirror and bar on the back wall.
Grace had been happily dancing around, doing spins and twirls. You know, the normal dances 6 year olds do. The two imph's had made popcorn appear, and were munching down on it as they watched her.
"She's r..r..really good at s..s..spinning, i wonder h..h..how she's not d..d..dizzy yet?" Panic questioned.
"Eh you know kids, they go until they can't go any more." Pain said as he shoved a handful of popcorn into his mouth.
Grace eventually became too dizzy and fell onto her bottom. Both imph's gasped and rushed over.
"Grace, you good?" Pain asked.
Grace's head was slowly spinning in a circle as her eyes tried to readjust. Eventually the world stops spinning and she giggles "again!"
"Again?!" pain and panic asked.
"Yes, that was the most fun i've had in a long time."
"How about we do something else." panic then mumbled to pain "before she really gets hurt and were both cooked to a crisp."
Pain then snapped his fingers "I know, why don't we go outside and play tag."
"Tag?" grace questioned.
"You never played tag?" panic asked.
Grace shook her head.
"Well, all you gotta do is run around and not let the person who's it, tag you." pain said,
Then panic added "and if you get tagged, then you have to tag someone else."
Grace nodded "ok"
"Grate then-" pain reached out his hand and tapped Grace's shoulder "your it" and the two imph's ran out of the room.
"Hey, not fair!" Grace called as she chased after them. She followed them through the upstairs hallway, down the stairs, and into the kitchen before they all stopped and noticed the new figure in the room.
Grace immediately recognized the newcomer with excitement "Ooo genie man's here!"
Jafar merely looked down at her with confusion "Genie man?"
"Can you grant wishes still? if so I want a pony, money to support us our whole life, and-"
"Wowowow, slow down kid!" Iago cried as he flew over infront of Grace "he ain't a genie no more, just a regular sorcer-aaaa."
Grace pulled Iago into a hug "And you're Iago, and my favorite sidekick. I thought you were a good guy? Why are you with him?" she eventually let go and an iago flew far across the room.
"Who is that girl?!" he squawked, gasping for breath from her hug.
"I'm Grace!" she said with exsitment.
"At Least she likes you" Facilier whispered "when she first saw me she practically ran out the door."
"And she called me devil women to my face, '' Cruella wispered.
"Kid, Jafar's is no longer-" Hades began to say before being interrupted by Jafar.
"I can answer for myself, Hades. Now, I'm no longer a genie because he" he pointed to Hades "brought me back as a mortal. But that doesn't mean I still can't do magic."
Grace's eyes lit up "I want to see!"
"Grace, give the man a break he just got here."
"But I want to see magic!" she humphed and crossed her arms.
"Here" Haded conjured up a long piece of rope with two plastic handles on either end in Grace's hands.
She looked at it with curiosity and wonder. "What is it?"
"It's a jump rope, pain and panic can show you how to use it."
"Can Iago come too?" Grace asked the question more directed at Jafar.
"Me, I'm not going with her." he came and landed on Jafars shoulder. "She's gonna squeeze the living daylights out of me."
Grace lowered her head to the ground, saddened by Iago's statement. He was her favorite sidekick, and all he thought of her was a murderer.
Both imph's noticed the change in Graced behavior and knew that had to do something.
"Fine iago, guess you're just too scared to jump rope with us." pain said as he took the rope from Graces hands. "Come on, Grace, we don't need Bird Brain."
"Bird Brain, who are you calling Bird Brain?!" Iago squealed as he flew in front of Pain.
"I'm just saying that even if you do play, you would still get tangled in the rope."
"Your on!" he grabbed onto the rope with his beak and flew toward the sliding glass door that lead to the backyard. Pain smiled as his plan had work and together, him, Panic, and a now happy Grace rushed outside.
Though the four villains at the table just watched in confusion at what just happend. But none of them questioned it. Instead they all began forming their plan on how they were gonna put on a show to scare the men away for good.
