I step forward, holding the wand. Uma looks at it for a second before shaking her head. "Hold up. Mhm. Too easy." She says as she smirks. She leans forward, using her finger to twirl a stand of my hair again. "I know you like your tricks." She mutters before leaning back again. "Why don't you give it a test drive? We want to see it work." She says, grinning.
I pale, my mind running wild as I try to think of any way out. I hear the others whispering behind me and turn to see Carlos nodding to the side. I glance that way to see Dude walk in. Perfect.
I turn to Uma, letting out a confident chuckle. "Sure." I say shrugging. I catch Evie's eye, winking as hers stare at me, knowing the wand is fake. I turn to Dude, lifting the 'wand.' and speaking. "Although it seems absurd, turn your bark into a word." I say, swishing the wand and pointing it at Dude. There is a moment of silence as we stare at the dog. "Talk, dog." I whisper, making Dude look at me.
"Does this vest make me look fat?" Dude asks in a whisper. But it's enough as Uma and her crew begin laughing. "Does anyone have some bacon? Cookies?" Dude adds, only fueling the laughter. I turn back to Uma to see her eyes twinkle as she looks at me. She extends her hand, grinning. "Give me the wand." She says. "What about them?" I ask, glaring at her.
Uma growls, turning to Harry. "Harry, bring him over." She says. Harry lifts the king and pushes him over, nudging him to his knees. Uma holds her hand out for the wand again, but Mal nods at Ben. "Cut him loose." Uma says, making Harry groan. "I nev'r get to 'ave any fun." Harry says, cutting Ben's ties and pushing him into Mal. Uma looks back at me again. "The wand." She says. I glare, staring her down. "Evie." I say.
Uma laughs. "The deal was I get the wand AND Evie." She says, nodding at Gil to bring the girl over. Instead of making her kneel or giving her to me, Uma walks behind the princess and laughs. "The deal was that I get both. And I want the princess....so I can do this." She says before putting Evie's hair to her back and resting a blade on Evie's throat. "No- Damn it, Uma." I mutter, watching as Evie looks at me.
"The Wand. Or else your princess gets it." Uma says. "At least let me....say goodbye." I mutter. Uma's face softens a little. "No funny business." She says, walking to me. "Deal?" She asks, trailing a finger down my arm. "...deal." I mutter, pushing her hand off my and walking to Evie. "E.' I say, hugging her. "Don't worry." I whisper into her ear. Uma walks behind Evie as I look at her. "Give us the wand." She says. I hug her for a while, Evie, making it seem as if it's our passionate goodbye but not specifically revealing anything so that some pirates are unsure why Uma wanted Evie. Just Best Friends, they think...Ben thinks...Lonnie thinks... I grin as I hear Uma scoff.
After pulling away, I smile at the girl before turning to Uma, but keeping myself next to the princess. "Here." I say, holding out the wand. Uma takes it, laughing wildly as she runs back to her crew, "Yes!" She shouts. At that, I see the others begin to scramble away as I grab Evie's hand tightly. "When I say run....run." I whisper. She nods, watching me with wild eyes as I nod at the gang.
Uma lifts the wand, grinning. "By the power of the sea, tear it down and set us free!" She shouts...only for nothing to happen. "No!" She shouts, snapping the wand and realising it's fake. "Now!" I shout, making Carlos and Mal toss smoke bombs, causing the pirates to become blind as I pull Evie's arm. "Run!" I say to her. We run, pulling away from the boat and running to the docks where I grab a sword Jay hands me and cut Evie's ties. "Thanks." She mutters, taking a sword for herself and kissing my cheek.
"You do not get to win every time!" Uma shouts before growling to her crew. "Trust me....Get 'em!" She shouts. At that, the pirates spring into action. Drawing their swords and rushing to us. Each of us take on at least two pirates at once. Mal taking on Harry, Carlos and Evie taking on Gil and I take on Uma.
"Missed me?" Uma asks, swinging at me. I counter with my blade, grunting at the force. "Not even a little bit." I mutter, swinging at her. "Of course you don't. You forgot me the moment you left. You stopped caring the moment you broke up with me!" She shouts, swinging at my head, forcing me to duck. "We could have ruled together, you know?" She asks, advancing. "Side by side. Like we planned to." She adds, going for my legs. "But instead, you ran to that princess."
"'That princess...is more than anything you could ever be." I say, swinging at her now. "You broke up with me just for attention. To make her see you." She snarls. I scoff. "No. I broke up with you because your vision became different to mine. You wanted to kill your way to the top. I just wanted to create fear." I say. Uma's sword nicks my arm, opening a small wound. "Oops." She says, tilting her head and smirking.
We continue fighting. I get a hit on her and she howls in pain. "You bitch. I don't know why I kept on caring about you after you left." She mutters. "You're that hung up on me?" I ask, smirking. "Shut your mouth." She snarls. She tries to hit me, but I dodge, sending her sprawling to the floor. I run, grabbing Ben and Mal on the way and pushing them in the direction of the tunnel. "Jay, go start the car." I shout. He nods, leaving with Lonnie as I gather the others.
"Go! Come on!" I shout. Uma and Harry advance. Uma goes for me again as Harry now goes for Evie. We hold them off, waiting till Carlos, Ben and Mal are in the tunnel before I nod to Evie. She throws the last smoke bomb, pelting the pirates in dark blue smoke as I grab her hand, pulling her with me. "We're going, now!" I say.
We run across the makeshift bridge and I turn, kicking it off and into the water below. As the smoke clears, Uma spots me and the gap in between us now. She growls, anger in her eyes.
"What's my name? What's my name? What's my name?! Say it now!" She sings as she glares at me. I wave lightly, smirking before following Evie down the tunnel.
We run to the limo, seeing it started and Lonnie waiting at the trunk. "You two good?" She asks. We nod, throwing our swords into the trunk and running to the sides. "Come on, E, Get in." I say, letting her in before me. I get in, shutting the door behind me as Jay steps on the pedal and we leave the area. Leave the Isle. Again.
In the car, Evie leans her head on my shoulder before lifting it again. I look at her to figure out why, when I realise my shoulder is bleeding. "Ah, shit." I say, touching it. "Don't touch it!" She exclaims, pouting. "You know you shouldn't touch." She says. "When we get back, I'm bandaging you." She notes. "Okay." I say, smiling as she nods, kissing my cheek and taking my hand instead.
On the other side of the car, Mal and Ben are talking....or beginning to argue. "Uma helped me see they're my people too." Ben says. "Ben, Uma captured you." Mal says, shocked. "She's an angry, lovesick girl with a bad plan." Ben says in response. "That's not so different from you when you came to Auradon, Mal." Ben adds, earning a gasp and scoff from Mal.
"Awkward." Dude randomly says, making Carlos jump to stop him. "Dude, I know you can talk, but it doesn't always mean you should." He whispers to the dog as Evie chuckles. "I'll never get used to that." She says.
The rest of the ride consisted of us snuggling, Mal and Ben awkwardly glaring out the windows and Carlos petting Dude, making sure he doesn't say anything else.
Once we arrive, I hop off as Jay parks before we all make our way onto campus. "I'll get these back to the gym." Lonnie says as Jay thanks her before she leaves with the swords. We walk onto the grass on campus. The soft breeze is actually calming for once as I take in Auradon. No stress like the Isle has. I feel a tap on my shoulder and turn to see Jane and Ben. "Uh, can I talk to you?" Jane asks. I quickly look at Evie, who smiles. "Take your time." She says, smiling and walking away.
"So, I was just wondering, since Ben is naming his Lady during Cotillion...." She says as Ben awkwardly looks to the floor. "I hope..." he mutters. "And is officially going to crown you Queen of the Isle." She adds. "Will you plan on naming your own partner this Cotillion?" She asks. I stand there awkwardly, unsure what to say. "I...uh..." I start, glancing at the two. "Do I need to give you an answer?" I ask. Jane and Ben shake their heads. "No. We were just wondering if there was anything you wanted us to set up or whatever." Ben says.
"Don't worry if you don't have a partner. Or if you don't want to tell us. We're just asking." Jane says, smiling. I nod, thanking them before thinking. I should name her. Maybe....
