THIRD PERSON POV

Later that day Alex was in his brothers office, as Ben was helping him with some work and some stuff for the cotillion.

"You wanna talk about what happened." Ben looks over at his older brother whose been quiet since his argument with Evie and when they left the room.

"We had an argument...she seen Olivia and i talking and she leant in to kiss me but I pulled away, and when I tried to tell Evie it was a misunderstand..she thinks I'm going with Olivia to the cotillion...and she's going with Doug..." Alex mumbles but Ben still heard his brother.

"Wait, what? Evie and Doug are going together?" Ben asked, as he furrowed his eyebrows.

"Yeah...Chad told me.." Alex says as he was glancing at his paperwork for the cotillion.

Before Ben could give his brother an answer, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in," The door opens, and Evie enters the room, looking distraught.

"Ben?" She looked over at Ben, then at her boyfriend.

"Evie, come on in." Ben greets her with a smile, then looks at his brother who looks down at his paperwork.

Evie walked further into the office, looking down and then looking back up at Ben.

"Mal's gone back to the Isle." Her voice was sad, and she passes a note to Ben, he gets off Alex's desk and stood in front of Evie, reading the note.

"This is my fault; this is all my fault." Ben starts rambling and Alex stood up, taking the note out of his brother's hand and reads it.

"I-I blew it. She'd been under so much pressure lately, and instead of being understanding, I just went all Beast on her. I have to go there and apologize. I have to go there and--and beg her to come back." Ben continued to ramble, and Alex looks at him.

"Ben, you'll never find her." Evie looks up from the ground and looks at Ben. Ben walks to the window, as he looks out, sighing.

"-I—" Ben didn't know what to say as he just stared out. "You need to know how the Isle and how it works and... you have to take me with you." Ben turns around and looks at Evie.

Evie and Alex both shared a look, he then looks at his younger brother.

"Yes! Uh are you sure?" Ben turns to look at his brother and then at Evie.

"Yeah. She is my best friend, and we'll bring the boys too, because there's safety in numbers, and none of us is really too popular over there right now." Evie steps closer, still having her eyes on Alex.

"Thank you!" Ben smiled at Evie and Alex walks to his younger brother.

"But let's get two things straight. You have to promise me that I won't get stuck there again." Evie adds, as she looks back at Ben.

"We promise." Ben smiled at her and then looked at his brother.

"I'm coming with you," Alex placed his hand on his younger brother's shoulder and gave him a small smile.

"Alex, no-" Evie looked at her boyfriend with a worried expression.

"I'm coming." Alex looked at her, and placed his hands into his pockets.

"And there's no way you're both going looking like that." She looks at them both, looking at their clothing.

Meanwhile...

Isle of the Lost

Mal's POV

I walked from our hide out, and headed to Lady Tremaine's salon, they weren't open yet, but the door was open. I walked inside to see Dizzy, brushing up the hair what was on the floor, she was listening to music as she brushed up.

She finally turns around as she sensed someone was there, she smiled once she seen me.

"Mal! Is Evie back too?" She stopped what she was doing, and slowly approached me.

I chuckled as I started to make my way round the small table and looking around.

"As if. I, um, forgot that you guys don't open till midnight. Place looks good. So, what is your deal? Has your grandmother given you any customers yet?" I turned my head to look at Dizzy.

"Ah, just a witch here and there. Mostly, it's a lot of scrubbing and scouring and sweeping. Lots and lots of sweeping." Dizzy answers my question, as she still had a smile on her face.

"Sounds like the old Cinderella treatment, eh?" I smiled as I look over at her.

"Yeah, she's gone from Wicked Stepmother to Wicked Grandmother." Dizzy continued to brush up.

"That's not really much of a switch. Hey, Dizzy, you used to do Evie, right?" I walked around the salon tables and looking over at Dizzy.

"Yeah. I thought of the little braids." Dizzy looked up with a smile, nodding her head.

"You have any ideas for me?" I stepped closer to her, and she puts the brush down and walked over to me, checking my blonde hair.

"Mm. The washed-out blonde with purple tips? The best of no worlds. You can't see where your face ends and your hair begin! Oh, what is this, "Bored to Death Pink"? Hmm. How far can I go?" She grabs my hand and looks at my fingernails which were pink.

"The works? I mean, whatever makes me feel like me, but you know... way worse." I sat in the salon chair, looking at Dizzy.

"Yay!" Dizzy excitedly says, as she turns me in the salon chair, and begins to do my make out, once it finishes and passes me the small mirror, handing me in to look at.

"Hey! There I am

"Hey! There I am."I stared at the mirror at my new look.

"Voila!" Dizzy had a huge smile on her face.

"Voila." I went in my pocket, pulling out some money out, handing it to Dizzy.

"For me?" Dizzy smiles at me and I nod my head.

"Yeah. You earned it." I smiled back at her as I stood up. I see a familiar face walk into the salon as Dizzy went over to the cash register. It was Harry Hook.

"Hi, Harry." I looked over at him, with a smirk on my face as I stepped closer.

"Just wait until Uma hears you're back. She's never gonna give you back your old territory." He steps closer to me.

"Oh, well, that's okay. Because I will be taking it." I look at Harry with a small smirk on my face, Harry uses his hook to move my hair off my shoulder, I grab it and place my gum on his hook.

"I could hurt you." He watches as I place the gum on the hook, I look back at him.

"Not without her permission, I bet." I give him a challenging look, he smiles and uses his hook to take the gum off it by putting it in his mouth, he slowly backs away, and he uses his hands, knocking the pens and pencils off the table, as he looked over at me then leaving the salon.

"Great. More sweeping." Dizzy says as she sighs, as she just watched Harry.

Meanwhile...

BACK AT AURADON

ALEX'S POV

We all ran down the staircase, we get to the end of the star. "Jay, remote." I toss Jay the remote for the barrier.

"Keys." Ben adds, as he also tosses the key to Jay, while standing in front of us all.

"Wait. Somethings wrong." Evie quickly walks over to me and fixes my beanie.

"There." She gave me a smile, before I pull away from her, she lets out a sigh. I had walked over to the limousine and then I look over to see Dude talking. "Shotgun."

"No Dude, stay. The isle is way too dangerous." Carlos looks over at Dude, as he spoke.

"Did he just...?" Jay looks at us all and then looks over at the talking dog, who is also confused on why he is talking.

"Talk? Yeah, I know. I tell you later." Carlos looks back over at Jay, and Jay nods his head to Carlos' answer.

"Guys, let's go." I eventually speak up, and we all head into the limousine, I was sat next to Evie.

"Yeah. Okay, once we cross the bridge, park under the pier in the old garage. Got it?" Evie spoke up, as she told Jay what to do.

"Got it." Jay replies as he was in the front with Carlos, as he drove across the bridge.

~~

After a few minutes in the limousine, we all got out. Ben and I looked around the pier where we parked, and Jay pats my shoulder.

"Ben, help me with the tarp." Carlos asks Ben and he walks over to Carlos to help him with the tarp.

"Jay, Alex." Carlos adds, as he passes the other end of the tarp to us, Evie walks over to us, and helps us with it.

"It's really weird being back here." Evie stops, as she looks around, having old flashbacks of them being here, I place my hand on her waist and she turns her head to look at me.

"We'll get in and get out." Jay turns his head to Evie; she looks at him and nods her head.

"Jay!" Carlos throws another tarp, across the roof of the limousine, Jay and I straighten it across the roof.

Ben walks over to a tunnel and looks through it before looking back over to us all.

"Hey, what's in here?" He looks back in the tunnel, and Carlos quickly approaches him and pulls him away.

Jay, Evie, and I all walk over to where Ben and Carlos were standing, and Jay looks at Ben.

"You don't wanna know." He placed his hand on his shoulder before Ben nods his head.

"Hey guys, keep it chill. All right? Last thing is we need our parents finding out we are here." Carlos starts walking towards the alley but turns his head to look at us all.

"Hey! Hey, stop! Just take it. Go on." We all walk into the alley, I was following behind Evie until a kid stops in front of her trying to stop her, then another one taking her pouch out of her back pocket, she quickly turns, grabbing the kids arm and realizes they she did the same to keep alive, she lets go of them, the kids run out laughing.

Ben and I were walking ahead of the VKs and we get stopped by a male, "Hey," Ben smiles as he holds his hand out to a male, the male growls to him, before I pull him away from him, I give the male a look and he backs off quickly.

"Ben, stop. Just stop." Evie quickly grabs mine and Ben's arm.

"Why?" Ben looks between Evie and I, still having a smile on his face.

"Ben, this isn't a parade. It's the isle." Evie gives him a serious look, before looking at me.

"Keep your hands in your pockets. Unless you're stealing." Jay comes over to us and looks at Ben.

"You either slouch or strut." Carlos adds, as he also walked over to us.

"And never ever smile." Evie also added, as she still looked at Ben. He nods, his smile goes into a frown.

"Okay, thanks..." Ben starts but Evie cuts him off.

"No... No thank you and drop the please too. Just...Chill." I have my hands on his shoulders, and Evie looks at me.

♫Chillin' like a villain♫

I smiled as I watched as our friends and Ben were at the end, we all started clapping as Ben finally got the hang off it. He was being a weirdo as per usual and he bumps into someone.

I quickly went over to him, standing next to him.

"Hey, man. Hey!" The male turns to us, glaring at us.

"Hey, I know you both!" The male said with a smile as he pointed at us both, Ben and I share a look, before Evie, Jay and Carlos joined our side.

"Uh, no. We don't know you, either, man." I cross my arms, staring at the male.

"Uh, yeah, you do." The male looks at Ben and I again.

"Come on, man. Really? Huh?" the male shoves my shoulder, still looking at us both, Evie and I then both share a look before looking back at the male next to us.

"Dude, I'll give you a hint. My dad is quick, slick and his neck... Huh? is incredibly thick. Come on, guys. I kn-- Huh? Huh." The male looks behind us all, seeing a picture of Mal and Ben and then myself with the crown on.

"Huh? Huh. Oh! You're King Alex and Prince Ben!" The male gasps as he looks at Ben and I again, as the light bulb goes off in his head.

"Okay, let's go." Evie grabs my arm, pulling her along with Jay and Carlos and Ben.

"Yeah, yeah, you totally are King Ben, and you're J-Jay, Carlos, Evie." The male yells after we walked away from him.

"Hey, guys. Oh, Uma's gonna love this!" The male smiles as he jumps up and down and ran off.

We got outside the hideout and I removed Evie's hand off my forearm, I could see her face change into a frown as I walked over to where Ben was standing with Carlos and Jay.

"Come on." Jay throws a rock at a sigh, making a metal door open.

"Wish me luck." Ben starts going up the metal staircase.

"Good luck bro." I said as I looked at him, Ben looks at me and smiles.

"All the way up." Jay adds as he points to the higher ground.

"Good luck." Evie says as she stood next to me.

Once Ben has gone upstairs, Evie turned to me with a hurt expression. "Alex can we please talk?"

"About what?" I rubbed the back of my neck as I looked at her.

"About us, please let me explain." Evie stepped closer to me, and placing her hands on my forearm.

"Doug and I aren't going to the cotillion, okay? I told him what happened with Olivia and he made me realize that you would never do that and I should've heard you out and I'm so so sorry." Evie reaches up to touch my face and I place my hand onto hers.

"I'm sorry for not letting you explain beforehand, I shouldn't of even believed Chad...I'm so sorry for raising my voice at you." I gave her a small smile, and she returned it, she comes closer and engulfing me into a hug. We both lean in until we heard Jay and Carlos clear their throat, we turned to see Ben coming down the metal staircase and we both approached him.

"So?" I come closer to the metal door, looking at Ben.

"Where's Mal?" Evie questions as she looked at Ben, and held onto my forearm.

"She's not coming back." Ben said as he got down from the last step.

"What? I'll talk to her. M?" Evie walks over to a metal telephone as she spoke through it, I went to check up on Ben, but everything goes black for us both.

Meanwhile...

Third Person POV

"Guys! Where's Alex and Ben?" Carlos asks as he couldn't find where Alex and Ben had went.

"Alex? Ben?" Evie quickly joins Carlos' side along side with Jay.

"Alex! Ben!" Evie shouts, having a worried expression on her face.

"Guys, don't scare us like that." Evie sighs in relief as she saw someone coming towards them, then seeing it wasn't them.

"Don't scare you? But that's my specialty." Harry says with a smug grin on his face.

"Harry." Evie stares at him, and he smirks at her.

"Aw, are you worried about your boyfriend, Evie?" Harry gave Evie a smirk, and laughing.

Evie scowls at him and Harry laughs at her reaction. And she lunged at him but Jay stops her.

Harry laughs. "Aw, you're quite feisty, can see why King Alex has a thing for you."

"What did you do with Alex and Ben?" Jay steps next to Evie, looking at Harry.

"Oh, uh, we nicked them . Mm-hmm. Yeah. And if you want to see them again, have Mal come to the Chip Shoppe tonight." Harry said still having a huge grin on his face.

"Alone. Uma wants a little visit. Aw Jay." Harry adds, as he smiled at them.

"Seems like you've lost your touch." Harry smirked at him, before Jay lunged at him but before he could he got stopped by Evie. After a few minutes, the VKs are in the hideout.

"If you guys never would have brought them here, this never would have happened. What were you thinking?!" Mal stands there, looking at her best friends.

"They was gonna come with or without us. We just wanted to protect them." Evie looks at Mal, then looks down.

"Yeah, and we completely blew it, guys." Carlos steps next to Evie and looks at Jay as-well as Mal.

"Okay! Okay. So, what are we gonna do?" Jay asks as he was behind them.

""We" are not doing anything. This is between Uma and me. And she's a punk. And guess what?Now I have to go get him and Alex." Mal frustratedly says as she grabbed her bag.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa. Mal. You're still gonna have to go through Harry Hook and his wharf rats." Carlos tries to explain to her, and she shakes her head.

"Yeah, you're gonna need us." Jay nods in agreement as he looked over at them.

"Uma said to come alone." Mal explains as she kept her eyes on her best friends. Evie steps forward, looking at Mal. "Mal, come on." Evie still had a worried expression.

"She said to come alone." Carlos looks at Evie and then sits on the sofa next to him.

"I know one thing. I'm not going anywhere." Carlos adds, as he looks back at Mal as he sat down.

"We'll be here when you get back." Jay stood there as he watched Mal walk away.

Mal goes straight to the Chip Shoppe, where Harry told the VK's for her to go.

"Hey! I wanted the fried clams." A female pirate told the female who gave her the food tray.

"And I wanted a sea pony. Life ain't fair!" The female pirate, raises her voice as she looks at the woman.

"I'm back." Mal says in a sing song voice, as she stepped through the gates.

"Loser, party of one. Right this way, please." Uma smirks as she kicks the chair to Mal and she catches it.

"Place still stinks." Mal sat down on the chair, looking at Uma.

"Oh, I'm sorry. We're down a butler today... Princess." Uma sat in front of Mal, looking at her.

"Where are they?" Mal asks, and Uma laughs.

"You know, I've dreamed of this." Uma smiles at Mal, ignoring what she just asked.

"You wanting something from me, and me watching you squirm like a worm on a hook. I'm so flattered that you dream of me." Uma leaned forward, smirking at Mal.

"haven't given you a thought since I left." Mal returns the smirk.

Uma slams on the table, as she looks at Mal.

"Obviously. You have your perfect, little life, don't you? Doesn't she have the perfect, little life?" Uma asks the other pirates and they all laugh in agreement.

"And we're 20 years into a garbage strike." Uma adds, having a smirk on her face.

"Listen, if you have some kind of score to settle with me, game on. I see no need to bring Ben and Alex into this." Mal puts her hands on the table, looking at Uma.

"It may be a little unnecessary, but, oh, it is so much fun. Here's the deal." Uma laughs, as she leaned forward on the table.

"Just like your mother-- always a catch." Mal smirked and Uma makes a face.

"If you win..." Uma starts as she places her arm on the table. Hmm? Alex and Ben is free to go." She continued talking, Mal does the same actions as Uma does with her arm.

"Don't you want to know what I get if I win?" Uma smirks at Mal.

"Still dreaming." Mal smirked back at her, as they both hands.

"Mm."

"Last time I checked, your mother thought she had things all sewn up, too, huh?" Uma adds as she looked over at Mal.

"How'd that work out for her again?" She adds again, having a smirk on her face.

Mal is defeated as Uma caught her off guard as she tells her what she gets if she wins

Mal is defeated as Uma caught her off guard as she tells her what she gets if she wins.

Uma stands up as she had a grin on her face.

"Now... if you want both beastly boys back, bring me Fairy Godmother's magic wand to my ship tomorrow at 12:00 noon... sharp. Oh, and if you blab... you can kiss your baby and hug his brother goodbye." Uma walks off as she left Mal speechless.
