The fairy godmother had only just turned on the television screen, revealing the four descendants villains parents, when Halsey was given Dude and was put on dog duty.. again. It had become a normal thing to find Carlos whenever she was on duty, and the two of them would play with Dude for ages, so of course she immediately set about finding her blonde friend. "Hi, Georgie! Have you seen Carlos?" Halsey now asked, everyone in the small group looking up at the girl as they were interrupted from their conversation. Georgie was the son of Giselle, and many thought he was bound to end up in the loony bin, yet Halsey found herself enjoying his charming grins, lopsided fiery red hair and great blue eyes which sparkled with emotion.
"Hmm.. I think they have a lesson right now with the fairy godmother...? You look beautiful today, by the way.. as always." Georgie smirked, purposefully brushing his arm against her. Oblivious, Halsey sent him a bright smile. "Thanks, Georgie. You look dashing yourself." She replied with a small giggle, before slipping away as Dude whimpered in her arms. You see, Halsey was a natural flirt by nature. It was in her blood. She didn't notice she was "flirting", she simply thought that she was being.. nice.

Halsey now skipped into the classroom where the four descendants were crowded around a television screen, showing four ironic villains that appeared to be completely and utterly crazy.. especially the one in the centre with the pointy dark horns and ice green eyes. Halsey slowly walked up to the group, Carlos turning his head to the side and grinning that warm and soft smile he only had for her. Forgetting his mother was watching him, he began stroking Dude's fur and the two had just began conversation when there was a loud cough. Carlos squeezed his eyes shut with annoyance, before looking up at his mother who's head was filling the entire screen. Halsey also looked up, a judging and displeased look on her face as she stared at Carlos' mother. She couldn't believe that that exact terrible woman with the bad hair was the same atrocious human that had hurt Carlos. It made her blood boil. "Carlos! A-Are you holding a.. dog?!" Cruella De Vil spluttered with disbelief, causing Halsey to raise a single eyebrow. "Give that.. thing back to its owner immediately! You should not be touching such animals, Carlos, we've been over this! And, just a reminder to help you see that dogs are complete and utter.." The woman shivered, unable to finish her words before quickly exclaiming, "He's the perfect size for earmuffs! I had been needing a new pair, you know, and I'm sure that girl besides you wouldn't mind if I.. experimented a little." Cruella threw her head back and snorted through loud cackles, yet quickly whipped her head forward and frowned when she noticed the stranger girl and Carlos were exchanging a look. Carlos suddenly stepped forward, Dude whimpering in his arms as he exclaimed bravely, "He's the perfect size dog for a pet!" Cruella's eyes widened with what the descendants could make out to be shock.. Halsey could have sworn it was more like defeat. "This dog loves me, and I love him. And FYI, your dog is stuffed! So give it a rest!" Jafar immediately glanced at Cruella, who sunk back in her seat with a look of disbelief and shock as he yelled, "OH-HO, BURNNNN!" Before Carlos could say anymore, Halsey quickly placed a hand on his shoulder and drove him backwards, before dropping her hand. The parents suddenly began yelling furiously at one another, Cruella loudly stating some rather.. gruesome things that caused Carlos' hand to quickly grab Halsey's. She gave his hand a squeeze, both of their cheeks tinged a soft pink as Jay glanced over at them and rose his eyebrows. The fairy godmother suddenly stepped toward and turned off the television screen, sighing sadly as she peered at the descendants. "I'm.. I'm so sorry." The fairy godmother sighs again, sincere with her words. "Thanks for the special treat." Jay managed to reply with sadness deep in his voice, yet he still managed to put on a brave smile. Halsey and Carlos' hands dropped when the four descendants began walking away, and Halsey quickly took Dude out of Carlos' arms, burying her face in his fur to comfort her.

Halsey now walked out of the empty class, completely confused on where the four descendants had disappeared to. Just as she walked up to her locker, Jay suddenly crept up behind her with a sly yet flirty grin. He slammed her locker shut, causing her to jump back a little and shooted him a weird look. "What's up, Jay?" She slowly began with uncertainty as he peered down at her bare fingers — no ring. She noticed he was clasping something behind her back, yet when Jay noticed her raising suspicion, he quickly let out a nervous laugh. Throwing an arm around her shoulder, he hurried her away from the lockers and cut straight to the chase.

"Listen, so I managed to creep into the kitchen a little earlier and managed to bake up some brownies with mini marshmallows... your favourite, right?" Jay said with a little hesitation, yet a quick grin was plastered across his face as she hummed. "So, I figured that you should be the first to try them. Here." He held up the plastic sealed bag and quickly whipped out a brownie, handing it to Halsey whilst shooting a glance at the three descendants. They were sat an a round table, Carlos glaring at his best friend and muttering bitterly. "You know, it's funny, Carlos offered me a cookie yesterday. Are you guys tryna poison me?" Halsey joked, Jay's eyes widening yet he quickly recovered as she paused in her tracks and bit into the cookie.

"Oh, wow. That's really good. Erm, how did you make this so quickly, though..." Halsey's sentence drifted apart as she turned on her heels and vibrant blue eyes locked with Jay's own deep pools of chocolate. "Wow.. you have really nice eyes. And your hair is amazing, and wow, your face is ridiculously smooth.." Halsey began slurring her words, practically drunk in love as she began carefully tracing his features with the tip of her fingers. She quickly stood high on her tip-toes and attempted to kiss the shocked and slightly amused/smirking boy, yet was sharply pulled away by the arm just as the other three descendants crept up besides Jay. "Wow. Nice work Jay, thought you'd chicken out." Mal shot Carlos a look, who simply continued to mumble and shoot Jay ungrateful looks. "What, don't look at me like that! Someone had to do it, and if not me, then who? Evie?" Jay mocked, frowning when his best friend only folded his arms and stared desperately at Halsey who was being whisked away into the woods by her brother. Jay and Evie suddenly shared a look as Mal fell deep in thought, creeping up to Carlos and roughly shaking him around whilst yelling, "CARLOS AND HALSEY SITTING ON THE TREE.. K-I-S-S-I-N-G!"

Meanwhile, Halsey was protesting as Ben held a tight grip on her all the way to the lake. "Ben, I honestly don't feel like swimming right now! I mean, I was busy and I was just about to kiss Jay when—" "Jay?" Ben abruptly interrupted, shock falling over his face as he shot Halsey a confused look. "Duh.." Halsey began with a weirded out expression, arms folded across her chest. "Wait.. okay, never mind, no time for that. Long story short, you need to get into that lake.. right now." Halsey shot her brother a glare, slightly furrowing her brows when she realised he was serious. "Ben, I'm not getting—" "Just do I—" "Ben, no, I—" "Why can't you trust me—" "I am not going in there, I— AUGH!"

Halsey's head popped up over the surface of the lake, coughing and spluttering as she swam back to Ben. She heaved herself up and planted herself on the damp grass, teeth chattering as Ben threw a warm towel around her. "Why the hell did you do that for?" She whined after a few silent moments, Ben grabbing her shoulders and turning her to face him. He looked deep into her eyes, as if searching for something. "Do you feel anything?" When Halsey continued to stare at him as if he was out of his mind, he quickly corrected, "What about Jay, what do you think about him? Do you... erm, love him..?" Halsey let out a disgusted laugh, not able to believe her brothers words. "Uh. As lovely as he is, how about no? I mean, not that I like anyone else.." Halsey let out a nervous laugh as she mentally cursed herself for practically giving it away.

"Halsey. Jay and Mal—they smuggled us a love potion in those cookies— and brownie, in your case. Water washes away the spell, that's why I threw you into the lake. I had to know." "Well.. I'm sure it's against their own will. They wouldn't intend to do that to us, Ben, we're their friends!" "And more than friends." Ben mumbled quickly underneath his breath, causing Halsey's head to snap up. "I mean, I still have feelings for Mal.. love potion or no love potion. And I'm guessing.. that you don't have feelings for Jay?" Halsey simply nodded her head a little, as if to tell him to carry on speaking. "Rumour has it that you and Carlos have a thing, hmm?" Halsey let out a small laugh at this, shaking her head. "Yeah, I may like him, but I'm not doing anything about the rumours until I hear from him himself that he feels something for me." The two royals were cut off from their small confrontation when Ben's watch let out a small beep, a tiny red light gleaming up at their faces. "Time for practice again." Ben grinned, helping his younger sister up and the two raced each other back for the castle.
