The Plan In Action (part 2)

"Got it?" Doug asked as he was holding a plastic glove and Ben was pouring in the chemicals.

"Yeah, I got it." Ben replied.

"Careful." Doug stated.

"I got it." Ben repeated.

"That makes five smoke bombs." Doug mentioned.

"Okay. I think that's enough, right? Yeah." Ben was saying.

"Yeah." Doug said.

Ben, how awesome would this look as a clip on pin?" Doug asked holding a piece of jewelry.

As Doug was saying that Rupert looked back at them.

"Very awesome." Ben responded.

"Take it! Take a bunch!" Rupert was yelling and running over to them. He grabbed a bunch of stuff and gave it to Doug.

"Rupert." Doug smiled. "Thank you."

"It would make me so happy to know that you were wearing something of mine in Auradon, almost like me being there myself." Rupert was saying.

Doug grabbed Rupert and pulled him into a hug. "I really wish I could take you with me."

Rupert let go and looked up at Doug. "At least one of us had our dream come true, right?"

"Yeah." Doug slightly nodded not looking happy.

"Dude, we gotta go." Ben told Doug as he put a bag on.

"Okay." Doug slightly nodded again and didn't take his eyes off Rupert.

Rupert smiled at Doug and they both waved. Then Rupert walked away. They turned and looked at Rupert sitting at the desk looking through the sketchbook.

"He's gonna be okay." Ben assured Doug.

"Yeah." Doug agreed. "But he could be so much more."

Ben lightly tapped Doug's arm and Doug gave him the gloves. Ben put them on the table beside him. Then they left.

"That one was epic. That went on for actual days." Ben was saying.

"Like it mattered, right?" Doug checked. "They were both undone by true love's kiss."

"Works every time!" Ben and Doug both said, then laughed.

"I really thought that's what you and Mal had, dude. Do you want to talk about it?" Doug questioned and stopped walking.

Ben stopped and turned to Doug. "I'm not coming back, Doug. I can't. I really tried to tell you." Ben was trying to tell Doug.

Doug was taken back a bit and backed up.

"But, I mean." Ben smiled at Doug. "I saw the way your face lit up when we walked through those dorm rooms for the first time. And I couldn't spoil that for you, man."

"If you're staying, I'm staying, too." Doug told him.

"No." Ben shook his head. "Doug, you're an Auradon boy. And I am, and will always be." Ben chuckles a little. "The boy from the Isle."

Ben looked up the sign, then picked up a rock. He offered it to Doug, but Doug let him throw it.

They ran up to the top and and sat on the couch together.

"I'm really sorry you had to go through that by yourself." Doug apologized.

"It's okay dude. Don't worry about that right now. We just need to focus on getting Mal back." Ben replied.

Lonnie and Jane were sitting on the chairs both asleep. Lonnie's head was on Jane's shoulder. Jane's head was on Lonnie's head.

Then the 3D printer started beeping because it was done.

Lonnie heard the beeping and lifted her head and saw the printer was done. She sat up and hit Jane in the chest. "Jane!"

"Mmm. What?" Jane responded barely awake.

Lonnie hit Jane's arm, then started to stand up.

Jane slowly started to wake up. She looked up and stood up too. Jane opened the printer and pulled the staff out. They made it in a small version, but they can expand it when they need to.

"Not bad." Jane stated as they both looked at it amazed.

"Yeah." Lonnie agreed.

"Let's go." They both said at the same time.

"Yeah." Jane said.

Lonnie grabbed the door handle and was about to open it.

Then Ma'am spoke. "Hey, guys, what about me?"

No, Ma'am. You stay. I'm serious. Stay." Jane told her and Ma'am whined.

"We'll be back before you know it." Jane said as she was trying to hurry out the door.

They opened the doors of the dorm building. Then they ran into Evie. Lonnie quickly put the specter behind her back.

"Oh, hey. Have you seen Doug?" She asked them.

"Uh..." Jane was trying to think. "He went camping."

Lonnie slightly chuckled with a smile.

"Doug "I wanna live in a castle" sleeping on the ground with no mirrors around?" Evie questioned.

"You know how spontaneous he is, girl." Jane responded. "Right?" Jane chuckled.

"Totally. Totally." Lonnie laughed with her.

"Later, Evie." Jane said.

They were backing away pretending to be laughing. When they turned around Jay was standing there with his R.O.A.R. jacket on with the hood up. And he had a bag of swords. Lonnie put the scepter behind her again.

"I'm coming with you guys." Jay told them.

Lonnie chuckled. "What? We don't need swords at the..." Lonnie was trying to think of an excuse. "Waffle Hut."

Jane was smiling, but one Lonnie said that she looked over at her mad.

"You're going to the Isle to rescue Mal. Look, it's either you take me, or I'm gonna have to tell Cruella De Vil." Jay said crossing his arms.

Lonnie looked at each other, then back at Jay.

"Okay." Jay ran up with them and wrapped his arms around them as they walked. "Really?" He kept looking back and fourth at them smiling and they looked miserable.
