After mal and her friends had left the shop, Mattheus and Adonis had their conservation about some certain things before Mattheus had left the voodoo shop and headed to the one place he would find his two... friends as he would call them that. Mattheus headed towards dingy little pub labeled The Whispering Willow which was owned by Anthony Tremaine, the son of Anastasia Tremaine and the baker, the grandson of Lady Tremaine.

All conservation and voices in the shop went silent once they saw and felt Mattheus's presence within the pub, they all turned their heads at him and stared at him before heading back into their conservation with such tensity and nervously.

Mattheus stepped further in the pub, he looked around until he saw Anthony behind the counter washing some of the cups, he did however notice that Claudine wasn't in the pub like usual.

Anthony then looked up from cleaning the glasses and smirked at his friend, he leaned against the bar counter and looked to Mattheus. "Well, suprise, suprise. Never expected to see you in here so soon, Theus."

Mattheus rolled his eyes with a shake of his head and walked to the bar counter, he had a determined look on his face as he looked at Anthony. "Well, you know me, Anthony. I've been here and there on the isle, and no i haven't been plotting with my mother or fucking Adonis, i'm a gentleman of virtue, not a whore."

"Well, pardon me, your royal highness, of the mistunderstanding of your title around the isle. I just thought you are a villainess whore with the way you are but i suppose that we all have our kinks and fantasies, especially from you." Anthony murmered with a shrug of his shoulders, Mattheus chuckled and nodded agreeing with Anthony before sitting down at the bar counter.

"Enough of this banter my friend as much as i love it, we have business so where is Claudine, i thought she would be dealing with the brothel out back or out here with you." Mattheus raised a brow at his friend as Anthony gave him his regular that he drank at the pub, Anthony had noticed that Claudine had a stomach bug for the last couple days and she told him not to worry and he didn't... until an hour later of that day so he simply shrugged at Mattheus.

"Eh, she's been having a nasty stomach bug recently and have been under the weather lately, gods i wish we had a doctor here.. anyways what brings you to the whispering willow, Mattheus?" Anthony leaned forward and looked to his long time friend, however before Mattheus could say anything more and there was an incident between a waitress and a drunkard customer, he kept pulling her back down when she yelped and told him no on multiple accounts, only for his chair to get shot at and he fell down causing himself to let go of the waitress, everyone turned their heads at the practically glowing Claudine who had a shotgun in her hands which she had gained from one of the pirates.

"No free rides Gentleman, and you all know the rules of touching one of my girls." Claudine spoke with fake kindess and sincerity which everyone drunkly cheered at as she than handed the Shotgun to Anthony who placed it behind the bar counter and pecked his cheek when the angery drunkard fool who was humiliated by Claudine glared at her and lunged at her only to trip on someone's foot and he fell down with a groan.

Claudine looked to whom had tripped the drunken fool, and saw that Adonis was the one who did it and he had his casual familiar cheeky grin, Claudine shooked her head and side-hugged Adonis with a smile. "My, my. Look at you, Frollo, didn't expect to see how much of a badass you are around here, now i know who tops the bed at night." Adonis jested as Claudine smacked him behind the head for his snarky comment.

Claudine than turned to look at Mattheus, who sat silently at the bar side with Anthony, she placed her hands on her hips and raised a eyebrow at Mattheus. "So, why did you come here besides coming here to have free drinks and hanging out with us, theus?" Mattheus nodded and placed the glass down and looked at his friends.

"Yes, i did come here for a reason and was gonna explain to Anthony here before i was rudely interrupted by that drunken buffoon, i might just show it to you rather than say it, i think you two will understand very well what was the reason for coming. Adonis knows, i went to him before coming here." Mattheus spoke before pulling out the envelope from his coat pocket and handed it to Anthony, Claudine and Anthony's eyes widened with suprise at the sight of the Auradon royal sigil before Claudine looked to the filled pub and cleared her throat and spoke up.

"Oi, Bastards, listen the hell up! If you aren't dating the bartenders, sleeping with one of waitresses or waiters or ain't fucking in the brothels behind that door, fuck off and get lost, the bar's closed." Claudine shouted, wipping her hands with the used cloth and everyone's attention in the club went to her and grumbled before finishing their drinks and left the pub with grumbles amongst the drunken, disatisfied crowd.

Claudine then grabbed the closed envelope and opened it up while reading it all, with hope soon growing in her eyes and looked to Anthony than to Adonis and Mattheus. "Is this true, are you going to Auradon where those.. those spoiled rich ass bitches are in? And with Mal and her friends, of all people." Claudine questioned sharply, never trulying liking Auradon for what they have done to them and left them to rot in the hellhole of a pruson, she slammed the paper down on the table and Mattheus nodded with another of his smirks.

"Yes, it is true and the letter is real and is signed by the prince himself, for his first Royal Proclamation as the new king of Auradon." Mattheys said with a nod and a shrug of his shoulders, he than took a sip of glass and soon gulped down the drink with a sigh before he looked at his three friends.

"This is our chance, to finally win against our parents enemies and finally be free of this hellish prison, i see this as an opportunity to destroy the barrier that holds us here on the isle, i have no doubt that Maleficent has instructed Mal to do the same." Mattheus explained as he sighed and made his hand go through his hair and looked to his friends.

"What exactly, are you going to do once you get to Auradon." Adonis asked softly, playing with one of his father's rings and looked to Mattheus.

"I'll make my way through their good graces and once i gain their trust and favour of being in Auradon, i will strike like a rattlesnake. I have several different contingency plans  but i'll go with the easiest route for now. But for now, i'll bide my time there and will watch on how Mal and her friends will perform in their task, no doubt they'll fail easily swayed by their weakness." The prince explains looking around the Bar counter.

"So prepare for the coup of the century, be prepared for the murkiest scam!" Mattheus sang, standing up from the bar counter and looked at his three friends with ambition and determind in his eyes.

"Meticulous planning." Adonis sang, with a smirk as he pulled out a tarot card, the king of wands, from his sleeve and looked to Claudine and Anthony, who grinned widely at Adonis and Mattheus. "Tenacity spanning, decades of denial." Claudine sang loudly, as she cooed at Anthony and her boyfriend moved out from behind the bar counter and stood next to Claudine.

"Is simply why I'll be king–" Mattheus sang before being cut off by his three friends,who looked at each other with excitement and hope while having grins on their faces. "Undisputed, Respected, saluted." Adonis, Anthony and Claudine sang all together, one by one they danced with Mattheus before Mattheus soon stood on the bar counter and the three below him.

"And seen for the wonder I am, yes, my power and ambitions are bared," Mattheus sang loudly in the pub while the others sang alongside him. "Be prepared. Yes, our power and ambitions are bared, Be Prepared!!" They all sang togerher before they laughed maniacally and their laughter was heard outside of the bar.

Eventually a little bit later after everything cooled down, Anthony's eyes roamed the now empty pub, while cleaning a dirty glass that was used by a customer recently before the pub had become empty on his orders. Mattheus and Adonis silently drank by the bar counter, Anthony was suprised that the two wasn't flirting with each other or let out snarky sly comments or sarcastic remarks at Anthony but he supposed the two, manily Mattheus, had alot on their minds.

However Anthony's attention than went to Claudine who stood by the only working Jukebox on the entire isle that was declared too old for the modern age, she played a song on the jukebox and Anthony smiled but raised an eyebrow at his girlfriend. "What's the occasion, babe?" He questioned with interest as he never heard her play that song on the Jukebox before, Claudine smirked and turned to face her friends and boyfriend.

"Hmm. Can't a lady just be in the mood for a familiar song, baby?" Claudine asked as she slow danced with the rhythms of the song played on the Jukebox, Anthony chuckled and shooked his head as he placed the washing cloth over his shoulder. "Not this lady and not this song."

Anthony than grabbed two glssses for him and Claudine while refilling Mattheus and Adonis's cups and poured some alcohol into his and Claudine's glasses, she than sat down on the stool infront of her boyfriend.

"Tonight a harebrained scheeme these three bozos cooked up to turn a hellhole in the entire world into a thriving, healthy community will become a reality soon enough." Claudine mused, clicking her glass with Mattheus, Adonis and Anthony, Anthony smirked before turning his head and glazed at Mattheus who was silent about the whole thing.

"Tonight, eh? You hear that. Bozo 3? We made it. We're done." Anthony remarked with a amused look on his face, as he sipped on his drink while Mattheus rolled his eyes and held his glass in his hand.

"Oh, you're sadly mistaken my friend. I'm bozo 1." Mattheus jested glancing towards Claudine, she and Adonis chuckled quielty but it could still be heard in the empty pub, Anthony rolled his eyes playfully at his friends before raising his hand to toast the night away.

"A night of future revelations." Anthony said, as all of them gulped down their alcohol before they placed down their empty glasses, Anthony coughed and wiped his mouth as he could never get with the taste of the alcohol.

"I'm knocked up." Claudine blurted out amongst the friends, which shocked them and they all shared a look with one another, Anthony than got out of his shock and got rid of Claudine's drink and replaced it with something healther than alcohol, he gave her water instead but with shakey hands as he knew that they never used protection during their time together.

Silence went over the friends as all was heard was the outside noise in the isle, however Claudine had enough of the silence as she was still nervous about the enitre thing. "A girl." Claudine replied which caught Anthony off but than he smiled at the thought of having a little girl.

"How do you know?" Adonis asked softly, Claudine glanced over at her friend and placed with the cross necklace that her father had given her, her parents weren't much of parents.. but rather people who birthed her as she told herself that they still cared about her in some way, in their own unshown way.

"Mm. Wasn't really part of my plan, but guess that's everything when you're living week to week." Claudine said shrugging her shoulders as Mattheus and Adonis moved closer to Claudine, Anthony than held her hand with his and rubbed her knuckle to sooth her nerves but could understand her nerves. "I-I don't know anything about kids. I get sweaty and nervous being alone with one."

"Hey, you're gonna be a great mother and this idiot here is gonna be a somewhat good father, even when he somehow the abilty to impregnant you." Adonis remarked while gesturing to Anthony who gave him the middle finger and rolled his eyes at Faciliar's son. "Yea, i'm suprised that dear Anthony could pregnant the great daughter of Claude Frollo and Mother Gothel, those two would be very 'thrilled and excited' to be grandparents." Mattheus jested with a smirk as Claudine rolled her eyes slightly and playfully.

"Shut up, i'm not ready for that. I started trying to come up with a name, and it hits me that this one word is a decision she's gonna live with her whole life." Claudine sighed, rubbing her hand through her hair and looked to Anthony than at Mattheus and Adonis, still playing with the cross. "I can't protect her from all the shit around here and work out how to be a parent at the same time. Then i realized, i don't have to."

"Hmm? Why's that?"

"Because the second i told you guys, i put you three on the hook." Claudine chuckled, finally letting go of the cross and leaned forward on the bar counter, sipping on her water while all three men shared a look of knowing and with the sense of responsebiltiy.

"Mattheus will figure this whole takeover of Auradon thing out. I don't care if any of you have to carve it out of the bedrock, covered in blisters. We're not allowed to fail anymore. For her. For the future, for our family."

"What's the point if we can't raise an ankle biter or two? I say, the more, the merrier in our little gang, and hell, the kid is gonna have amazing uncles and aunts to deal with to never be left alone on this hellhole." Mattheus spoke as he sipped on his drink, Claudine smiled brightly at her friends, no... her family. She placed her hand on her flat stomach and felt satisfied, as she knew that her daughter would be in safe hands with the ones she called her family.

"To our family, then. Blisters and Bedrock." Mattheus murmered glancing at Claudine, raising his glass as did Anthony, Adonis and Claudine, before all four of them drank their drink of choice, Adonis placed his glass down and wipped his mouth with the back of his hand, he and the others repeated what Mattheus had said before Adonis turned to look at Claudine.

"I've always liked the name Violet." Adonis said smiling at his friend, rubbing his finger around the edges of the glass, Claudine then thought about the name and she also liked the name Violet.
