"love come to me sprouting like the living tree"
- Make Out in My Car by; Moses Sumney and Sufjan Stevens

Carlos, Jay, and Conie hurried through the dorms back in Auradon.

Carlos slowed down when he spotted dude.

"Hi," He said softly, picking up the dog. "Oh, I'm sorry I'm so late, Dude. Ben got captured."

The trio went to enter Jay and Carlos' dorm, only for Jay to stop them.

"Why is our door open," Jay questioned.

The three boys exchanged looks before slowly entering the dorm.

"You've got to be kidding me," Carlos exclaimed at the sight of Chad using their 3d printer.

Conie shook his head and muttered to himself, "Oh my fucking god."

Chad turned the printer off and turned to them.

"I knocked," He shrugged.

Carlos set Dude down, "Go on, Dude."

He then marched over to Chad and stuck out his hand expectingly.

Chad groaned and pulled a key from his pocket and gave it to Carlos.

"Conie has a key," Chad grumbled. "Why can't I?"

"Because we like Conie," Both Jay and Carlos chorused.

"Yeah, maybe you'd have a key too if you weren't such an ass," Conie said to his twin.

"What is that," Jay demanded before Chad could reply.

"Oh. That's a little Chad action figure," Chad smiled, grabbing it and making it fly through the air. "Zoom! Well, minus the head."

"Sounds like an improvement," Carlos stated making Jay and Conie chuckled.

"Excuse me," Chad snapped.

Jay and Conie just pushed him away from the 3D printer.

"All right. Here we go," Carlos spoke as he pulled out his phone and uploaded the plans for Fairy Godmother's wand.

"Why are you guys making Fairy Godmother's wand," Chad asked, looking over Jay's shoulder.

"Oh. Uh, why are we making Fairy Godmother's wand," Carlos repeated.

"Because, uh..." Jay started.

"Ben's been captured!" Dude yelled.

"What," Chad exclaimed. "Dude can talk?"

"I was stalling," Carlos scolded his dog.

"I thought you forgot," Dude said.

If he was human Conie imagined he would be shrugging.

"Don't tell anyone," Jay snapped, smacking Chad's arm. "Ben's life depends on it."

"Really? So, if something were to happen," Chad inquired. "You know what I'm saying..."

"Something bad, we get it," Carlos answered.

"God forbid," Chad said, putting his hands up. "But if something were to happen, who do you think would be in line to be king?"

He then held up his unfinished action figure.

"Is it me, or is that in really poor taste," Jay asked rhetorically.

"It is," Conie agreed. "Besides, I would be line before you since, ya know, I'm older than you, dipshit."

Chad groaned and Jay walked over to the door, motioning for Chad to leave.
