New kids in town - P2

Harry leaned back as Gil, Carlos, and Jay all jumped and wrestled for the candy that was decorated before them-shaking his head as Gil offered him a brown-covered ball of...something. Gil shrugged and popped the ball into his mouth, humming happily at the taste. Harry instead grabbed a sugar-covered rainbow tape from behind him, taking a bite he shivered-it was sour-and then very sweet. Like that bag of sour candy he ate too quickly which caused him to lose all feeling in his tongue for a week.

Harry looked back out the window-watching as the isle flew by, his eyes drifting over to the alleyway that led to the wharf tunnel. He was happy to leave-he supposed, leaving all the pain and strife of the isle, leaving his father behind and all his...clients(gods he hoped his dad wouldn't turn to his sisters)- but, the isle had been his home for the last 16 years, it was so strange to be leaving.

He turned as Carlos hummed happily at something he ate, his eyes almost sparkling. "-It's salty like nuts but sweet like I dunno what?" Carlos tried to explain, chowing down on the fat brown-covered disc. Harry laughed as Jay wanted to try the new candy but Carlos just showed off the already chewed candy instead of giving Jay the half-eaten disc.

"Ew-" Jay gagged, stealing the disc and popping it in his mouth, his brows raising as he realized it was damn good candy. Evie turned in her seat while Mal messed around with a remote-Evie alerting the others as the limo drove closer to the edge of the bridge. "look!" Evie screeched, grabbing onto Mal as Carlos screamed that it was a trap.

So this was their plan? Lure them into a false sense of security and then just drown them? Harry had to hand it to Auradon-that was an evil plan.

Jay quickly wrapped his arms around everyone, fingers barely reaching out to Harry's jacket as everyone screamed and curled in on each other-Gil latching onto Carlos and Harry like there was no tomorrow.

They waited for the feeling of falling-only for it to never come. Instead, the ride smoothed out, no longer hitting potholes and garbage. Harry was the first to open his eyes-sitting up slowly as the driver looked back at them from his rearview mirror. "Oi-" Harry snapped softly, smacking Gil's shoulder to make him let go. "We didn' fall-we're....we're outside the barrier."

With that-everyone sat up, all peering out the window to watch as the limo drove away from the isle and towards Auradon-eyes wide as a magic golden brick road built beneath the car. "What just happened?" Carlos asked, almost climbing over Gil and Harry to get a better look while Evie grinned, her eyes alight with something new. "It must be magic~!" she gasped, holding Mal's hand as the fae held her head for a moment, her eyes sparking between neon green and emerald.

Harry looked back at the isle, watching as it grew smaller as the limo drove away-Mal turned to the driver, tapping the remote on the seat to get his attention. "Hey!" He turned back, his expression blank behind his sunglasses "Did this little button thing just open the magic barrier?" Mal asked, and the driver shook his head, holding up a golden remote with one button on it.

Harry eyed it, a smirk coming to his lips as he realized just how trusting Auradon dupes were. This dude really just showed off the barrier button with such ease? This was going to be easy.

"No-this one opens the barrier, that one opens my garage. And this button." He pressed a button on the ceiling of his end of the limo-the divider coming up and blocking the vks from him. Mal grinned, turning to her friends. "Okay~" Mal laughed, tapping the remote on her palm as she got comfortable in her seat. "Nasty~ I like that guy."

"They're almost here~" Ben sang as he paced the front yard of the Auradon dorm building, you and Audrey watching him as he practically danced in excitement. Audrey schooled her expression into one of calm excitement-though she hadn't hidden her...distaste-for Ben's whole idea in the weeks that past after Ben's told her about it.
