Rather Be With You - Sequel to Not Set in Stone - Descendants 2

Chapter 5

Name's Ria Rider and if you even think about uttering the name Fitzherbert, I'll be sure to sick Scar and Shere Khan on you. My father is Flynn Rider, one of the most well known thieves on the Isle and my mother well no one seems to care about that do they? I've grown up on this Isle my whole time and let me just say there's nothing to boast about. This Isle is absolutely disgusting and those perfect precious four that got chosen to leave the Isle don't realize how privileged they actually are. Go figure that those four would become the people they've hated for years. I'm not surprised especially with Mal.

Why I'm on this island you ask? Well isn't obvious? My father chose the crown over the girl. Turns out mother did know best. However, Rapunzel didn't come crying. She found her real family and now she's a pretty prissy princess. I mean can you blame him for what he did? I'd choose fame and fortune over a boy anyday. Seeing that I don't have that option right now, I'll stick with Harry. I'm kidding, obviously. There's no one or anything that I'd pick over him. I rather be with him ruling the world than be alone with all my wealth.

Sometimes I wish my father would have chosen the girl over the crown. It's more of a "I wonder what would have happened" kind of wish I have. I mean could you imagine me, rugged Ria Rider, a princess? Please that's more hilarious than the time Harry tried to get Tick-Tock to bite his hand but the dumb crock was not in any way interested in his meat. Don't tell him that, he gets really mad when you mention the fake hook. It's actually adorable when he gets grumpy around me because he can't stay that way for long.

Anyways, I'm completely off topic. I have ton of history to get through of my life, all of it super interesting and epic, trust me. Growing up was as normal as any other villain kid, learning all the ways to be wicked and how to steal, how to deceive, all those good things. When I turned I think it was thirteen, yes thirteen, my father actually passed away. Natural causes they said, I think that's a load of bull even today but it's been three years and it's pointless to try and disprove it now. When he passed though, I was alone. I had no one to care for me other than my friends at school. Uma, Gil, and Harry have always been there for me and when my father passed, they all offered for me to stay with them.

Oh, that was something alright. Let me recap a bit with what happened during the week after the infamous Flynn Rider died. I decided that living with Uma would probably be the best since she was the only other girl out of the group. Yeah, that didn't end well at all. Ursula is a hand full to say the least. Darling it is not better down where it's wetter, I'll tell you that much. Ursula was not a good mother and not a good person to house guests. I felt like a poor unfortunate soul living there. I don't know how Uma puts up with it. I jumped ship within the first three days of living with them. Then I tried living Gil because hey at least his father wasn't a sea creature. That was even worse. Gaston if you haven't noticed is very vocal and in his mind, his opinion is law. And let me tell you, he had a very strong opinion that Gil and I would be perfect together which neither of us were on board for. He was like a brother to me and I did not want to date someone I considered my brother. The amount of flirting Gaston would do for his son was disturbing and don't even get me started on Jr. and Gaston the third, they were just as bad with the teasing Gil and me. Gil completely understood why I left and he does not blame me for doing so.

That left Harry, and I thank god everyday that living him work out so well. His father however villainous and devious as you may think he is, he's got a heart. Sure he'll scream at you and get completely frustrated at times over something so meaningless but it's because he cares. He's treated me especially like his mini Smee, I guess you could say. He'd open up to me about his problems while offering me a bit of rum which of course I'd take. I've lost track of the amount of times he's complained of Harry to me and every time thinking back on it, I can't help but laugh and tease Harry about it.
