Better Purchase Those Baby Bottles

Jay reached the group first, as he had started running as soon as he spotted a sword. He reached Mal, proudly took his stance next to her, but not without whispering that maybe it was a better idea to lower her sword. She turned to Jay, her eyes brightly glowing green. Jay quickly threw his hands in the air to show it was just a suggestion and went on to doing nothing except standing next to her. Soon Evie and Carlos reached them and took their stance as well without a single comment being made. Gil and Blue proudly took their place next to Uma and Harry, chin raised and looking the others into their eyes. Well, except for Blue who had troubles with her social anxiety. Uma laughed at Mal, not imitated at all. She coughed and quietly commented: "Mal, my dearest purple vixen, maybe it's better to put that toys of yours away. My crew doesn't take their liking to their captain being threatened, by how small danger be it. They might get angry and I'm sure you have heard about our reputation. And you must know every single word is true." Mal seemed to doubt her decisions for a moment but raised her sword even higher. "Your words don't scare me, Shrimpy. Neither does your so called crew. You came into my territory now. The people here do what I say." Uma puffed angrily and Harry raised his sword and hit Mal's away. Mal hadn't expected that and gasped softly. Harry stepped closer to her and whispered: "Don' ya know luv, our crew protects our own. We aren't scared of ya. Back off sweety, can you not tell we're with more. Leave, before it's just a' remains that's left of ya in the mornin'." Mal huffed and quickly took a step back, looking at the pirates. " This isn't over yet, shrimps." She swiftly touched her stomach before storming off. Evie leaned into Blue and said: "Did you see that? Meet me at 2 o' clock at the bridge, we have something to talk about. Bring your books." Blue looked at her and shrugged. "As you wish, princess." Gil nonchalantly threw his arm around Blue's shoulders. Evie was about to open her mouth to speak when Mal loudly called for her. Evie threw her arms in the air, shook her head and grunted in displeasure but went to Mal anyways. "Don't forget, Sunshine and Shrimpy" Uma huffed annoyed irritated with her nickname. But her friend's reaction was a bit different. "Gil!" the blonde called out, looking at her friend accusingly. "Why in Odin's name would you tell her my nickname?" The other blond shrugged his shoulders and grinned. "Cuz it fits you, Sunshine." Blue just stoke out her tongue in response. Gil went to lay down supine and pointed at the sky. "Have you ever seen such a blue sky? The light is almost ethereal here in Auradon." Blue lay down next to him, immediately recognising her friend's call for some deep conversations. "In fact, believe me or don't, I have. I remembered it. It must be from the few moments I lived here with my parents, in Auradon." She looked at Gil puzzled face. "You don't believe me, do you?" "I don't see why you'd lie, so yes, I believe you." Blue smiled sheepishly at him as Uma and Harry sat down next to them. For a moment it was all peace and quiet. But after all, they are pirates so the rest was disturbed within a few moments time by Desiree chasing children and her girlfriend while Jonas was yelling at them for disturbing his beauty sleep. Desiree came sprinting towards them to grab one of the children. She laughed at Harry's disturbed face and in return he waved his hook. Harry then went on to grab his small clock. "Uma, luv, I'm afraid the clock's 'bout to be hittin' the two, dear. Don't forget yer appointment with Blueberry." Uma gasped and grabbed Blue. Blue and her shared a look and Blue patted her bag to show she had her books.

As it was getting closer to 2 o'clock, Uma and Blue were getting closer to the point they were supposed to meet. And as expected there was Evie, looking a bit anxious. She was carrying two bags and a notepad. As Evie recognised them she lifted the bags in the air to show them and laughed. "Uma, Blue! Look what I've got. I found something to improve your so called outfits." Uma looked plain offended and Blue looked confused. Evie quickly continued her small speech to avoid their wrath. "Oh chill down. It's just some pants and skirts. You can't expect me to not bring fashionable pieces when you guys walk around in weird maxidresses." Uma was about to make a comment when Evie shushed her by placing her finger on her lips. "Oh shush it Uma. I know you didn't want to wear this so why won't you let me help you?" Uma just accepted it and grabbed the bags. "You didn't drag us all the way over here just for some clothing, I hope." She asked. Evie laughed once again. "No, I didn't. I spit around the Auradon Library but I couldn't find a single book on magical creatures. So I reckoned that they must have hidden the truth. And the only place they hide stuff they want to keep it away from the so called 'innocent' is the Isle. So I figured that if someone had them you too have to have them." Blue giggled and pulled out some books. "You mean these?" Evie started nodding furiously. "And is there with any chance something about dragons in there?" Evie asked. "Searching for information on your purple friend?" Uma asked with a grin. "You think she's pregnant don't you?" Evie's eyes widened in surprise as Uma correctly guessed what she guessed what was wrong with Mal. Blue suddenly got a serious look upon reading the page. "Evie... I'm afraid you're correct. She has been territorial and a bit mean, hasn't she. Trying to protect everything that is hers?" Evie nodded. "Well, those are symptoms of a dragon's pregnancy. But that would mean-." Uma interrupted her and finished her sentence. "She is carrying Ben's baby. That could harm his reputation..." Evie immediately glanced at her with a warning look in her eyes. "You will not harm king Ben, you hear me?" Uma laughed. "Calm down, feisty. I won't. Not yet at least." Uma wiggled her eyebrows. Blue softly whispered. "She's pregnant..."
