today was an exciting day-the d23 expo had arrived, and fans were buzzing with joy as they prepared to meet their favorite stars, attend panels, and collect autographs and photos.

in one corner of the venue, the cast of "descendants: rise of red" was set up, their line of eager fans winding around the entire area. the cast members were having a fantastic time interacting with the crowd and looked forward to greeting the next person in line.

suddenly, the ropes parted, and a girl made her way toward the cast, instantly capturing everyone's attention.

with luscious, long brown curls tied back in a sleek ponytail, she had two strands framing her face. her skin glowed with a caramel tan, and her striking green eyes stood out against her outfit-a casual grey tracksuit paired with stylish nike blazers.

"dang, girl. you are pretty," morgan exclaimed, her eyes sparkling with admiration.

the girl blushed, a shy smile gracing her lips as she stepped into morgan's embrace. she hugged her tightly, feeling the warmth of her affection.

she continued down the row, each hug filled with genuine warmth and joy. dara, then malia.

"so gorgeous," malia gushed, her arms outstretched in invitation.

"no, you," the girl responded, her arms wrapping around malia in a tight hug. they held each other for a moment, a silent understanding passing between them.

kylie watched, a strange feeling bubbling within her. the attention malia was giving the girl, the way they seemed to connect on a deeper level, stirred a discomfort she couldn't quite place.

finally, the two pulled away, their hands lingering for a moment before reluctantly separating.

"hi," kylie said, forcing a smile, her voice a little strained. the girl smiled warmly in response and hugged kylie tightly.

the girl continued greeting each member of the group, ending with a big hug for ruby.

"what's your name, beautiful?" dara asked, her voice filled with genuine curiosity.

"shyla," the girl replied, her smile lighting up the room. the cast members, captivated by her charm and name, exclaimed their appreciation.

"pretty name," malia stated, causing shyla to chuckle.

kylie's eyebrow shot up. the intensity of malia's attention towards shyla was becoming increasingly apparent. feeling a surge of unease, kylie's hand hovered near malia's. she gently brushed her fingers against malia's, hoping to subtly reclaim her attention. malia caught the gesture and intertwined her hand with kylie's, a reassuring smile playing on her lips. kylie felt a flicker of relief, her anxieties momentarily quelled by the warmth of their intertwined hands.

shyla's eyes sparkled with admiration as she addressed the group. "you guys are all so amazing, i love your characters. especially yours, malia. chloe is just so adorable," she said, a soft smile playing on her lips.

malia chuckled, "you're too sweet, shyla."

"so, where are you visiting from?" peder asked, his voice laced with curiosity.

shyla's smile widened. "here, actually. my dad is the head of d23 conventions."

"no way, that's so cool!" malia exclaimed, her hand instinctively reaching for shyla's, leaving kylie's momentarily. shyla, seemingly unfazed, took malia's hand, holding it as she nodded in agreement.
