𝐅𝐑𝐎𝐌 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐒𝐄𝐂𝐎𝐍𝐃 𝐒𝐇𝐄 𝐒𝐄𝐓 𝐅𝐎𝐎𝐃 𝐁𝐀𝐂𝐊 𝐎𝐍 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐈𝐒𝐋𝐄, Elizabeth felt a shiver run down her spine ━ that being because it was a lot colder on the Isle compared to Auradon, and also her nervousness being back. She hadn't been on the Isle since the day her and her friends left for Auradon. Elizabeth glanced over at Evie, receiving a small, reassuring smile from her.
Breaking her from her thoughts, Carlos spoke. "Ben, help me with the tarp." Carlos pointed, him and Ben grabbing a tarp that was bunched up alongside others on a basket ━ dragging it over to the limo. Jay held his hand out on the other side of the limo as Carlos tossed half of it over, Evie and Elizabeth quickly going over to help pull it completely over.
"It's really weird being back here," Evie whispered, standing beside Jay as she looked around at the dark, empty alleys.
Jay looked over to where her eyes were fixed before looking back at her with a nod. "We'll get in and get out."
"Jay!" Carlos exclaimed again, tossing another tarp over the back end of the limo, Jay grabbing and adjusting it.
As the group worked together at covering the limo, Elizabeth glanced over to see Ben slowly making his way towards a large tunnel, a tunnel that led to the docks where Uma's crew usually hung out. "Hey, what's in here!"
"Hey!" Elizabeth exclaimed, quickly making her way towards Ben, the others following after he. Jay placed a hand on Ben's arm as Elizabeth sighed. "You don't want to know."
As they walked past him, Ben took another glance back, causing Elizabeth to grab onto his arm again and lead him away from the tunnel. "Keep it chill, all right?" Carlos nodded, holding his hands out. "Last thing we need is our parents figuring out we're here."
Jay nodded and the group began to make their way down an alley, making multiple turns as they got deeper into it. That was until Evie had raised her voice, catching the attention of others. "Hey! Hey, stop!" Evie exclaimed, grabbing a hand onto each of the two boys standing in front of her ━ one of them with her wallet.
The two boys then stopped, looking up at her in fear. Looking between the two, Evie's eyes softened as she nodded to the boy with her wallet in his hand. "Just take it." She said quietly, giving them a small push back. "Go on."
Watching as she made her way back to the group, Elizabeth then felt a sudden emptiness where Ben stood before. Turning around to look behind her, she spotted Ben walking away, scoffing as she threw her head back. "Ben,"
Catching up to him, they found Ben attempting to shake hands with a guy who growled at him in return, angrily making his way closer to Ben before Carlos stepped in.
"Ben, stop. Just stop." Evie said, grabbing onto Ben's arm and pulling him away.
"Why?" He questioned, furrowing his brows.
"This isn't a parade," Evie replied, glaring at him.
Elizabeth, standing on the other side of Ben, nodded. "It's the Isle."
"Keep your hands in your pockets unless you're stealing." Jay added.
Holding a hand out, Carlos continued. "You either slouch or strut."
"And never, ever smile."
Ben nodded, rubbing his hands together. "Okay, thanks ━"
"No." Elizabeth interrupted, holding a finger out towards Ben's mouth, signaling for him to stop talking. "No thank you, and drop the please too. Just . . . chill."
Ben nodded, finally understanding the seriousness of how he needed to fit in, and the group continued to make their way down the alley. Ben, getting distracted and looking around, bumped into someone. Looking up, he was met by Gil LeGume, son of Gaston.
"Hey, man." Gil smiled, examining Ben. "Hey, I know you."
Shaking his head with a slight smirk, Ben leaned forward. "Uh ━ No. Don't know you either, man."
"Uh . . . yeah you do. Come on, man. Really?" Gil questioned, shaking his head as he threw his hands out. "Huh? Dude, I'll give you a hint. My dad is quick, slick, and his neck . . . is incredibly thick. Come on, man, I ━" Gil then paused, looking up at the poster on the wall behind Ben. A Royal Court poster that had Ben and Mal drawn out on the cover.
The group all turned around to look at the poster before back at Gil who pointed back and forth from the poster to Ben. "Oh! You're King Ben." Gil finally gasped, smiling.
Evie then quickly grabbed onto Ben's arm, the group quickly making their way past Gil. "You totally are King Ben. Are you're Jay, Carlos, Evie. Hey, guys. And Lizzie ━ hey, Lizzie, I missed you!"
Gil then stood still in the alley, watching as they all ran off, Elizabeth turning around and giving him a small smile before turning away from him. "Oh . . . Uma's gonna love this!"
