How They Met: The Ball

Jade and Deveral

"Open the door!" Kim shouted.

"We'll be with you in a minute!" Mal shouted.

"Is there anything sharp in here?" Jay stood up suddenly.

"Evie has some needles in her sewing bag." Mal pointed to Evie's bag.

"I'm an expert in lock picking. I'll try this first." Jay held up a needle. "If not, a hair pin is the next best thing."

"Take it away." Mal smiled. Jay tried picking the lock but the needle wasn't working.

"I need a hair pin." Jay threw the needle across the room.

"Evie has hair pins in the front pocket of her bag." Mal laughed.

"That'll work." Jay took a hair pin from Evie's bag. He tried again. "This is a little bit better. Give me a moment." Jay heard the door unlock. "We're free."'

"Good job, Jay." Mal kissed Jay on the cheek.

"Advantages of being the son of Jafar." Jay put the pin in his pocket and he opened the door.

A fairly tanned girl was running down the hall way with her long, black hair flowing behind her and her bark brown eyes were filled with anger. She was wearing black and violet sneakers, black leather pants, a dark yellow, sleeveless top and a sleeveless, violet, leather jacket zipped up half way. She was carrying a small, brown, leather bag around her shoulder.

"I've got this." Jay jumped at the girl and they fought in the hallway.

The fight ended up in Mal's dorm. Jay was winning but a snake slithered out of the girls bag and tied Jays legs together which tripped him up. The girl held his hands behind his back which caused Jay excruciating pain.

"Wow, you're really tough." Jay tried getting up. "Can I get up now?"

"You look familiar." The girl said as the snake slithered back into her bag and Jay stood up.

"So do you." Jay got a good look at the girl.

"I know you!" The girl shouted. "You're my cousin!"

"Jade!" Jay shouted in happiness and they hugged.

"Excuse me, she tried to kill me!" Kim pointed at Jade.

"Kim, your a ghost." Mal walked into the room.

"Oh, yeah." Kim looked embarrassed.

"Why were chasing Kim? She's one of our friends." Jay asked Jade.

"I'm gonna go." Kim ran back to her room.

"She made fun of my baby." The snake slithered out of the bag and wrapped itself around Jades arm. "My poor baby was bullied." Jade gave the snake a kiss.

"Is that a King Cobra?" Jay asked.

"He is. His name is Deveral and he was given to me when I turned thirteen as a companion. I was the saddest person alive when we were taken away from each other so my Mom bought me my favourite animal alive. He's my only friend." Jade gave the snake another kiss.

"You have to meet my best friends, Jade. They're awesome! This is Mal, Maleficents daughter." Jay brought Mal forward. "Mal, this is my cousin and my childhood best friend, apart from Evie and Carlos, Jade. Her Mom is my Dads twin sister, Nasira."

"Does Evie and Carlos know about her?" Mal shook Jade's hand.

"Do they heck. We were separated from each other when we were four and that's when me, Evie and Carlos started hanging out more." Jay smiled. "Remember Cheatin' And Tellin' Me Lies?" Jay smiled at Jade.

"I do. I've sung it everyday since we've split up. Can we be the best friends we once were?" Jade placed Deveral into her bag.

"Of course!" Jay looked at Mal. "Lets go save our friends." Jay lead Jade and Mal to his dorm.
