Yo Ho Yo Ho

Isle sweet Isle

"So, what was Auradon like?" Gill asked me making conversation.
"Sunshine, butlers, and get this.. beds. Like actual beds with sheets and comforters and pillows."
We sat on and ledge and just watched Auradon from a distance.
"Pillows?" Gil asked in shock.
"Yeah." I said nodding.

"But you know, this is home." I said to Gil. "I have everything here."
"So you left for good?" He asked. I shrugged.
"I don't know. I don't know what to do. It's like I want to try there but I am what I am. VKs are not too welcomed there as you could imagine."
"How'd you bring down the barrier."
I slipped the button out of my boot and wiggled it in Gils face.

"Snuck into Bens office, nicked it."
"Wicked." he said laughing.
"How have you guys been since I left? How's Harry been?"
Gil clicked his tongue at me.
"You know, making runs doing business."
I nodded. Nothing's changed. 

"Look.." he said to me. "I don't know much, but I know that you shouldn't stay here."
"What do you mean?" I asked nervously.
"You have an opportunity that all these kids here would kill for, you can't throw it away."
"But, what about you guys?"
"We're fine. We'll make it there one day. But we're counting on you, to get us there."

"I'm gonna go to the loft. Try and get some sleep."
"I'll walk with you." Gil said. We walked the alleys in a comfortable silence.
"So I'll see you at the chip shoppe tomorrow?" Gil asked.
"Yeah I'll see you tomorrow."
"We've missed you Kitty."
"It's good to be back and it..
"Good to be bad!" We said at the same time.

Made my way up back into the old loft Mal and Evie shared with me. I've waited this long, morning will come. It will come.

And morning did come. Just gloomy and cloudy, no warm light. It made me feel cozy. I walked past Evies old station and lingered over the makeup she used to wear. I remember letting her practice one me since Mal wouldn't let the slightest pigment come close to her. I sat down and looked in the mirror. I was a bit hesitant but a little blush never hurt anyone. I opened up a few compacts and applied blush to my cheeks. Upward strokes. Upward strokes. I heard Evie in my ear. That doesn't look too bad, I thought.

After more deliberation I reached for the mascara. I opened my eyes wide and my mouth weirdly opened in an oval shape as I carefully lifted my lashes. A bit more, I thought. I decided against the lipstick but I did consider gloss. I had no idea what time it was, and I didn't want to look to eager. The chip shoppe was about a 15 minute walk, without any pit stops or the occasional robbery attempt, so then I'll think of what to say.

Walking down the steps of the lot and into the musty Isle air, I headed west.
"Queenie" I said as I walked past her stand.
"Heart cookie?" She asked.
"Does it make you grow or shrink?" I asked.
"That's why you buy it with the milk.." she said showcasing her array of options.
"Maybe on my way back." I said moving past her.

"Kitty.. What a lovely surprise." Sean said, son of Shan Yu said as I strolled past.
"Is it?" I said.

The smell of musky sea water and low tide became stronger and stronger as I kept forward. I walked the dock to the wooden swing doors. I pushed them open and stepped inside.
Although I may have looked confident, I was scared shitless being back.
"Kitty Kat.." Uma said standing behind the counter.
"I'm baccccck" I said mockingly.
"That you are." She said hands on her hips forcing not to smile.

"Get your tail over here!" She said smiling wide coming from behind the counter.
"What the hell are you doing here Kit?" She said wrapping her arms around me.
I couldn't tell her the real reason. It was weak. Love here was weak.
"It got too sunshiny over there. I needed a break from the sunburn."
I knew she knew I was lying. You don't leave Auradon for the Isle.
