The Ghostwriter And The Lone Ranger 2: The Isle Strikes Back [Jay/OC]

Chapter 38: The Cotillion (Part 1): Pre-Cotillion Jitters

It's been a few months since my last update, but I have been busy with my internship job as a copywriter. My internship just ended so this leaves me more time for writing fanfics as well as focus on some hobbies I hadn't had time to focus on for a while. I just turned 22 a few days ago (April 11th), and with the global Covid-19 pandemic going on, I hope everyone is staying safe and indoors.

Disclaimer: I do not own Disney Descendants or any of the characters, I only own my Original Characters and this story. Enjoy.

"Hey girls, sorry for stalling the gown fitting for this long, Evie. But I have been busy." Tracy apologized as she walked into Evie's room. She saw Mal trying on her Cotillion gown.

"It's ok, I get it." Evie shrugged, before she motioned Tracy to come over and take a look at the gown designs. "Come over and take a look at your outfit."

"Evie, this is the most beautiful dress I have ever seen." Tracy gasped, amazed by Evie's gown for her. The gown was dark indigo with purple accents and decorated with starry patterns. She noticed that the dress also had a detachable hoodie.

One of the reasons why Tracy loves Evie's designs is that they are beautiful and speak out/represents the wearer's sense of individuality.

"It's not really finished yet, since I still need to take your measurements." Evie shrugged a bit.

"It's been a while since we've actually seen you, Tracy." Mal pointed out.

"I know; I have been really busy for the past few 48 hours." Tracy gave a weak smile in response.

"So...anything new happened?" Evie asked, motioning Tracy to stand still.

"Well...I found Chad in my closet when I went back to my room the other day because Jones, Max and Carlos hid the 3D Printer in there, and we talked out our problems. So I guess now we're friends again. Oh, and I got approval for the Isle Reformation Program, it's an idea I have that aims to stop slavery and abuse of isle folk, while also improving the living conditions of the Isle." Tracy began telling the two girls about her ideas, while Evie took her measurements.

"I'm still surprised that it took you THIS long to realize you and Jay totally have a thing for each other." Mal commented.

"Yeah, but on the bright side, we're going to the Cotillion together." Tracy started twirling with a bit of her hair, fighting a blush forming on her cheeks.

"Speaking of Cotillion, Carlos and I are going together too." Evie smiled.

"Aww, I always knew you two would end up together." Tracy cooed loudly.

"You HAVE to let me do your makeup; you would look so pretty." Evie smiled, before she started doing some amendments to Tracy's gown.

"Oh no thanks, you're already busy with your business, and Mal has her things going on." Tracy declined. "Plus, I need to inform Ben that I'll be going to the dance with Jay instead."

"You were planning to go with Ben?" Mal questioned. She wasn't so sure how she feels about her friend initially wanting to go to the Cotillion with her recent ex. Not that she was jealous, but she knew for a fact that Tracy and Ben grew up together as friends.

"As friends, given all that's recently happened, Ben thought it would be a good idea for all of us to catch up as friends like the good old days. But now that I have a date, looks like I need to apologize to him." Tracy shrugged, before she blushed at the word 'date'.

"I'm still happy that you and Jay finally agreed to go to the dance together, you're all he's ever talked about" Mal teased.

"In a good way, I am hoping." Tracy shrugged in response.
