EPILOGUE
They were setting out on their voyage that morning. Her and Harry, of course invited Gil, Uma, and Georgie to join them. Like their own little pirate crew - Artemis' only condition was that as soon as they set out on the Wonder that Harry was Captain, just like they'd been planning since they were only 14. Uma had rolled her eyes but agreed saying she could handle Harry 'being in charge' - she was sure to use finger quotes - for a week or so .
They were in the midst of preparing the Wonder for it's journey when rushed footsteps on the docks caught Artemis' attention. She looked up to see her brother making his way towards the ship with a duffle over his shoulders.
She frowned, touching Harry's shoulder in a silent 'I'll be right back' as she moved down to the boarding dock to meet her brother. "What're you doing here?"
"I've come to join you," he grinned crookedly and Artemis frowned.
"You hate sailing," she pointed out, he did nothing to argue her valid and completely true point just let his eyes dart passed his older sister to where Georgina was helping Uma gather up the ropes. Artemis followed his gaze, rolling her eyes with a fond grin as his true intentions were revealed.
"Really, Mattie?" She teased, her arms crossed and Matt only shrugged with a mad grin. She shook her head with a light laugh. "Get up here."
"Yes! Thank you," he quite literally jumped a foot in the air and over dramatically kissed the top of her head as he rushed a board.
Artemis smiled slightly, shaking her head at his antics and headed back over to Harry who was studying the map of Wonderland. His eyes were narrowed oddly at Matt, like he was trying to figure out why he was here, as Artemis came up beside him.
"What's the codfish doing on our ship?" He asked.
"Be nice," she chuckled, nudging his arm gently before leaning into his shoulder. "He seems to have taken quite the interest in Georgie."
"Hm," Harry hummed, a soft chuckle rumbling through his chest. "She's going to eat that poor lad alive," Artemis laughed at that, her laugh being much louder than Harry's soft chuckle and it brought a smile to his lips as he looked down at her. "Are ya sure Wonderland will be okay without you and Matt there?"
"Yeah," Artemis didn't even hesitate - William and Alison had it handled and if they didn't there were plenty of other people who could help them. "What could possibly go wrong?"
In Auradon...
Her boots thudded heavily against the ground, she couldn't remember the last time she'd been back here. Almost 5 years now. Her black skirt swirling around her long legs as she fixed her black and red leather jacket over her shoulders. She could feel the eyes on her as she sauntered up through the courtyard to the main door of Auradon prep.
She didn't pay them any mind though. She simply flicked her long blonde curls over her shoulder and let her pretty blue eyes take in the large Castle turned Private School. Then her eyes landed on who she was looking for - King Benjamin, standing at the front door talking with an older, pudgier woman.
Ben slowly halted his conversation when he saw the girl walking up to her and she smiled brightly at him. "Hi, I'm the new transfer student... from Neverland."
Ben's eyes widened, "right, of course. CJ, I presume?"
"Correct."
