Holly opened her door to get dressed, Ben and Hayden were in the room with Evie, Hayden was already dressed, and Ben was pulling on a shirt, "Did you make them Isle clothes?" 

Ben was immediately at his girlfriend's side making sure she was okay, "yeah they were supposed to be for a cultural assignment, these were my visual representations," Evie explained handing Ben the blue leather jacket she had made for him. He took it and threw it on popping the collar like he had seen Carlos do.

His girlfriend had to stifle a laugh, it was so unlike him, and just like Jay was stiff if they put him in a suit Ben looked stiff right now. "And why in their sizes?" 

"Well, they agreed to model for me," She shrugged. "I made ones for Jane and Lonnie too." 

Ben smiled, "it's in your colors." His family crest, albite a more mangled version, did decorate the jacket but his shirt and the beanie Evie was forcing on him were black."

"Better than yellow," Hayden said trying to pretend like he wasn't affected by what was happening right now. Unlike Ben he had kept his family colors. Evie had made him a red leather jacket with his kingdom crest. 

"Hayden it's okay to be angry, you know that right?" Holly asked. 

"I know, and I am. I don't feel bad about what I did, I just don't like that it came to this. You guys said it yourself, she's not safe over there." 

"We're gonna get her back," Holly assured him pulling her jacket off the coat rack, even now that she had renounced evil, she still wore it with pride. No matter how many times the gossip Collums blew up, no matter how many times Belle got on her back, no matter how many dirty looks she got, because it was a symbol of where she came from. A black leather jacket with a blue flaming skull on the back and the words soul stealer. 

It was the difference between her and Mal. Holly was a leader and Mal was a follower, Holly didn't care what people thought of her because at the end of the day she was at the top of the social food chain. Mal was right under her she had been her entire life, and secretly to everyone but Holly it drove her crazy. Her mother was mistress of evil whose sins and crimes were proven true, something they could see the effects of. Hades hadn't done anything since ancient Greece and even those were only legends. Mal should've had more pull than Holly, but Holly was on top. The whispers of how pathetic she was, followed them her entire life. 

Whatever the court had said about her, cause now that Holly thought about it maybe her daunting presence wasn't enough to offset the eyes on Mal, had finally broken her.

The four came racing down the stairs where Jay and Carlos were already waiting, the two boys were honestly wondering how Evie managed to run in heals and how Holly could in platforms.  "Jay, key's, remote," Ben shook the question away and tossed them to him. 

The former thief caught them, "Shotgun!" A voice called from behind them. 

They all turned and were surprised to see dude standing there. "No dude stay, the isle is way too dangerous," Carlos told him, making the dog sigh and grumble in distain.

The others were stunned into silence, Jay was the first to break out of it, "did he just-?"

Carlos turned to him, "talk? Yeah, I'll tell you later." They all wanted a better explanation but as he walked away, they realized they wouldn't be getting one yet. "Chad said that he'll wake up early and cover Ben's calls and work in case were there to long, let's hope we're not though. he said he'll check on Hadie and Chole from time to time too." They all made a run towards the limo, the only car in Auradon that was able to open the barrier.
