33

evie's p.o.v

i can't believe i just let bella leave like that. i adore her but this is new territory for her. can she really defend herself like she claims she can? it's to late to go after her and stop her. now it was time to talk mal.

i looked over at jay who was climbing up to get to mal. monkey see monkey do i guess.

"if you guys hadn't brought him here in the first place this never would've happened. what where you thinking?" mal yelled at us. "he was gonna come here with or without us! we just wanted to protect him." mal shook her head.

"yeah and we completely blew it guys!" carlos stepped in, after being quite this whole time. i mean yeah his boyfriend just got kidnapped so i get why he would be quite.

"okay! okay! so, what are we gonna do?" jay asked, what could we do? "'we' are not doing anything. this is between uma and me, and she's a punk. and guess what, now i have to go get him." oh right, we forgot to tell her one minor detail.

"you can't." carlos said. "what do you mean i can't?" mal asked. "bella also came with us," jay mumbled. "they took her too?!" mal was ready to snap all our necks in half i could tell.

"no! she went after him. she told us to make sure you didn't go after uma, that she would handle things. she said that if uma wanted anything, she would want the wand. she also said to make any backup plans in case things go sideways." jay explained the situation to mal. she looked at me. oh fuck, never piss her off.

"you let this happen? you let the queen of auradon go off by herself in the isle of the lost? evie i expected better from you!" mal was scary when we was angry not gonna lie. "look i trust her okay! she's my girlfriend and i know her well, she said to work on a backup plan and that's what we're here to do! look mal, we came here for you and we're not leaving without you. no one is going to be left behind, not ben, not bella and not you." i've had about enough of her yelling at us. we're not her minions, we're her friends. we should be treated as such.

"so you said bella thinks uma wants the wand? makes sense. so what, we go and bring it to her?" mal asked. i couldn't tell if she was joking. "there's no way we're gonna give uma the wand. we can't just let her destroy auradon!" mal better not be serious. auradon is our home.

"uma doesn't get the wand, then ben and bella are toast." carlos repeated what we already  knew, he didn't want to lose ben and i didn't want to lose bella but we can't give her the wand.

"right, so we're gonna give uma, of all people, the wand." "do we have any other choice?" jay carlos and i began to argue when mal finally said stopped us.

"wait guys, your 3D printer!" mal pointed out. "a phony wand?" carlos asked. "and the second uma tests it, she'll know it's fake." does the  real wand even work here?  

"well okay then, we just get them out really fast. we need some kind of diversion." what could cause a big diversion that would give us enough time to rescue and escape?

"spoke bombs!" "that's perfect, i'll get the chemicals i need from lady tremaine's place. that could work!" i walked over to mal, "oh sick hair by the way." i really liked that she went back to her natural color. "evil step mom seriously stepped up her game." i said running my hand through her hair. 

"okay do you wanna know something? dizzy did this." no way, no fricking way. "little dizzy? shut up!" "i know. i'm like loving it!" "it's like a lot lighter." "i'm really proud of her."

jay cleared his throat loudly, which made us look at him and carlos. "hello, my boyfriend needs saving!" carlos reminded us. and my girlfriend, but still i believe in her. don't tell her i doubted her at any point.

"carlos, jay, you guys meet us at pirates bay no later than noon. and you guys, losing is not an option." a lot of pressure here aha.

"cause we're rotten," mal said.
"to the core." we replied in union.

mal and i went to lady tremaine's place as carlos and jay went back to the limo to make their fake wand.

once we entered, i saw dizzy sitting down working on some stuff. i looked at mal and shushed her. i wanted to surprise dizzy, it's been a while since i've seen her. i slowly tip toed over to her and crouched down next to her.

"evie?" she asked. she looked at me  for a bit longer before freaking out. "evie! you came back!" she got out of her seat and hugged me. ugh i missed her so much. she was like my own little sister.

"hey. so great to see you too." mal said sarcastically but dizzy didn't pay her attention. "is it all like just like we imagined it? do they really have closets you can walk into? have you been to a real swimming pool? what does ice cream taste like?" she bombarded me with questions, which i didn't mind.

"it's cold and it's sweet, and if you eat it to fast it gives you a headache." "really?" "yeah!"

"i saved your sketchbook for you!" she told me "you did?" i asked, the sketchbook full of my my first designs? i haven't seen it in a while, i missed it. she ran to go get it and mal gave me a look, she wasn't amused.

i opened it and began to reminisce about how i started out. "i made this dress out of an old curtain and safety pins." i said as i felt the fabric of the curtain. 

after a while, mal and i had began working on the smoke bombs.

"perfect, that makes five smoke bombs." i said handing mal the last one. "okay, i think this is enough, right?" she asked. "yeah." she finished tying it up. i turned around and picked up a crown  and put it on.

"m, how amazing would this look with my shredded tee and my heart purse?" i asked. "very amazing." she said. "take it!" dizzy said standing up from where she was working. "take a bunch." she began grabbing a bunch of accessories from her table. "oh dizzy," i grabbed my purse and  she placed a bunch of items in it. "thank you." i told her.

"it would make me so happy to know that you were wearing something of mine in auradon. almost like me being there myself." i pulled her into a hug. "i really wish i could take you with me." i told her. "at least one of us had her dream come true, right?" i smiled faded a bit. "yeah."

"why don't you just ask the queen, i mean she is your girlfriend after all." mal said as she finished putting the smoke bombs in her bag. "she's your what?" dizzy asked pulling away from our hug. "uh yeah, i'm seeing the queen."

"oh my god that's amazing! why have they never mentioned you? is she ashamed of you?" dizzy began to ask a bunch of question. "no it's not like that, she's just not ready for us to go public. hey, maybe i can show her some of your stuff and she if she'd wear it at the royal cotillion." dizzy lit up even more. "yes please! i would die if she queen wore one of my designs!" i smiled before i hugged her once more.

"e, we gotta go." mal said. "okay." i let go of dizzy and we said our goodbyes. she went back to her working station and we headed towards the exit. i turned to look at her once more before we left.

"she's gonna be okay." mal reassured me. "yeah, but she could be so much more." i hope i can come back one day for her. "let's go." mal said again. i nodded and we left.

we walked and talked about all the crazy things we did when we ruled this place. we were laughing when mal shifted the mood.

"i'm not coming back, evie. i can't. i really tried to tell you. but, i mean, 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." mal looked at me, she was ready to cry. and so was i.

"if you're staying, i'm staying too." i told her. it hurt to say but it was true. "no. evie, you're an auradon girl. and i am, and will always be the girl from the isle." she grabbed a rock and threw it st the sign. the gate opened and we headed upstairs. mal's my best friend, i would stay here with her even if it meant leaving behind my life in auradon.
