ACT ONE
CHAPTER FOUR
the arrival of the villain kids






ALI WAS FAR FROM HAPPY.

Ben had sprung this all on him so suddenly, the young prince not quite knowing how to feel as he stared at his best friend with a mixture of emotions playing in his eyes and Ali didn't quite know where to start. Truth be told, Ali didn't even know how to look at Ben after he was told this because he didn't know whether he felt betrayed or intrigued.

On the one hand he felt betrayed because Ben knew of the rivalry that the son of Aladdin and the son of Jafar had for each other and yet still put the arrangement forward without consulting Ali first. Ali knew plenty of other students who wouldn't have minded sharing a room with the villain kids, a key example being Madison Hatter who would not only invite the kids to stay with him but would indulge them in stories of Wonderland to keep them sane. 

Ali being placed with Jay was just an accident waiting to happen. 

On the other hand Ali felt a sense of empowerment upon learning the news. Having been trapped in the royal life for so long the idea of a small change and a challenge almost forced a smirk onto his face. Perhaps with the Villain Kids hanging so close to the Prince of Agrabah Ali would be able to get away with more and the endless eyes on him would soon dissipate and he could move on with his life.

Regardless of this, Ali still didn't want to risk them ruining his plans. 

"And you didn't think to tell me before?" Ali asked Ben directly, his jaw hardening as he looked to the approaching Limo driving down the magical bridge and having to wipe his hands down his vest to get rid of the sweat succumbing them.

"I forgot! I'm sorry!" The Prince of Auradon quickly replied to his friend, a sheepish smile on his face with only widened when Ali glared at him. "Besides, it's only temporary."

"But it's still my room." Ali complained loudly, Ben giving him a look as many people in the crowd turned to look at the two Princes in confusion. Ali responded by forcing a smile on his face and pulling Ben into him for a hug, whispering into his ear. "There's a reason that I didn't want roommates Ben, I like my privacy."

"Ali please it's only temporary." Ben laughed, causing the crowd to turn away from the two disinterested again as he patted his friend on the back. "Besides, you're never in your room anyway."

"I have no idea what you're talking about." Ali muttered as he turned away from Ben, Amal patting his shoulder as she gave the Prince of Agrabah a panicked look, Ali returning one telling her to calm down.
