I Found You

4

Carlos is relatively feeling a little better by the next morning. Last night, he somehow managed to sleep off his anger. Maybe because Uma and Jay were cuddling him and he was a sucker for affection. He could stay like this all day, but unfortunately they had school.

He turned, his movement causing Uma to stir and Jay to let out a whine. The older male tightened his arms around him.

"Don't move. You're warm."

"Uh huh, buddy. Dude, get up."

"No. Sleep."

"I'm with Carlos. I need food.", Uma spoke up, sitting up and stretching. "If I go to school without food my mood will be permanently ruined." She rolled out the blanket and hurried off downstairs, leaving Carlos to handle Jay.

He started hitting Jay's arm to wake him.

"Come on, Jay. Doesn't food sound good right now?"

Jay's eyes opened just a little to peek at Carlos. "Hm."

"Food, man. Food."

The other eventually sat up, hair messy and eyes half-lidded in a glare. "Fine."

"Glad to see you're cooperating." Carlos slid out the blanket and scurried out the room, hearing Jay getting up and following him.

The two arrived into the kitchen, ducking in time from a flying orange. Gil was tossing oranges to Mal who was squeezing them, making fresh orange juice using the juicer. Evie was flipping the last of the pancakes and stirring the eggs. Uma and Harry was hogging the coffee machine.

"Good morning, ya'll.", Jay greeted with a yawn, stopping at the counter by Mal. "What time is it?"

"We have about a good three hours before school starts.", Mal answered him. "Does anybody need to head home for clothes or anything?"

"Nah, brought the necessities over here.", Uma replied before taking a quick sip of her coffee. She moaned in satisfaction. "Ah, yes. The morning pleasure that is coffee."

"Agreed, mate.", Harry chuckled drinking his own. "Hm, by the way, Evie, is Aunt Grimhilde still here?"

Evie shook her head, amazingly, the curlers she had in staying in place. "No. She had a meeting to attend to. In fact, her and the rest of our parents. I figure it's about the upcoming fashion show?"

"I hope there's nothing wrong.", Carlos prayed. He enjoyed his mother's fashion shows immensely. "I'm looking forward to modeling, you know?"

"Same. I want to strut my stuff.", Uma pouted. "Wonder what the meeting is about though."

"Let's hope it's about what the color scheme is gonna be."

"Of course, I'm on board with that! What kind of question was that?!"

Hades knew that one thing that will never change about Cruella de Vil is how animated she could be. Not to say it's a bad thing though. He had gotten used to how expressive she can be. He was more relieved she was going with the idea.

"Excited, I guess?"

Cruella chuckled, leaning back in her plush desk chair. "Hades, darling, I love your music. How could I not agree to a performance for my show? Though, I'm curious as to who you want to perform?"

"You mentioned something about new music you written?", Maleficent spoke up from beside Grimhilde.

"Yes. I thought the kids would like to perform. Give them another chance to be show-offs... again.", he teased.
