Timeless Legacy

Carlos and Jay arrived back at Auradon, with Carlos greeting his dog, Dude. "Oh, sorry I'm so late, Dude," Carlos said, petting his loyal companion.

"Ben got captured," Carlos added, looking around for his keys. Jay's eyes widened, and he stopped Carlos from searching further.

"Don't. Why is our door open?" Jay asked, frowning as he and Carlos exchanged worried glances. They stormed inside and were met with a surprising sight: Chad was at their 3D printer, seemingly in the middle of a project.

"You've got to be kidding me," Carlos muttered, staring at Chad. Chad looked up, startled, but then put on a grin.

"I knocked," Chad said, holding up his latest creation with a smirk.

"Go on, Dude," Carlos said, setting his dog down and stepping closer to Chad. Jay followed Carlos as they approached the 3D printer.

Chad handed Carlos his keys while Jay peered at the printer. "What is that?" Jay asked, eyeing the object Chad had been working on.

"Oh, that's a little Chad action figure. Zoom!" Chad said proudly, holding up the figure, which was missing its head. "Well, minus the head," he added with a chuckle.

"Sounds like an improvement," Carlos said dryly, walking past Chad and stopping in front of the printer. Jay followed him.

"Excuse me, why are you guys making Fairy Godmother's wand?" Chad asked, curiosity piqued. Carlos and Jay exchanged uneasy glances and leaned away from Chad.

"Uh, why are we making Fairy Godmother's wand?" Carlos began nervously. "Because, uh..."

Dude interrupted with a bark, "Ben's been captured!"

Everyone froze, looking at Dude in shock.

"What?!" Chad exclaimed, turning to Dude. "Dude can talk?"

"I was stalling," Carlos said, annoyed at Dude.

"I thought you forgot," Dude replied nonchalantly.

"Don't tell anyone!" Jay said urgently, giving Chad a firm push.

"Ben's life depends on it," Carlos added.

"Really?" Chad said, intrigued. "So, if something were to happen, you know what I'm saying..."

Carlos cut him off, "Something bad, we get it."

"God forbid," Chad said with a smile, "But if something were to happen, who do you think would be in line to be king and get the girl?" He mused, clearly enjoying the speculation.

"Is it me, or is that in really poor taste?" Jay said, frowning and motioning Chad toward the door.

"I'm taking this," Chad huffed, grabbing his headless action figure and heading out. Jay closed the door behind him with a sigh of relief.

"Thank you, Jay," Carlos said gratefully as he turned his attention back to the wand project.

"All right," Carlos said, determination in his voice. "Let's get this done."

"Got it?" Mal asked Evie as they worked on the smoke bombs.

"Yeah, I got it," Evie replied, carefully filling the last bomb.

"Perfect. That makes five smoke bombs," Mal said, holding up the finished bombs.

"Okay, I think that's enough, right?" Mal asked, and they both nodded in agreement.

"M, how amazing would this look with my shredded tee and my heart purse?" Evie asked, finding a headband and placing it on her head.

"Very amazing," Mal confirmed with a grin as Dizzy turned around, smiling warmly.
