Red
This is Auradon, the kingdom where all your favorite fairy tales are true. It was formed thirty years ago, when Beast married Belle! And how do you think they got all those characters to coexist?
Simple.
By banishing the villains to the Isle of the Lost.
That's where I grew up!
You might know my name.
Uma! Daughter of the big, bad sea witch Ursula.
Aaaaaaaaaaand a pirate queen!! Not to be messed with.
I helped Mal and Ben free the Isle, and now that they're on the throne, things are a lot more fair around here! But they're sailing off with Jay and Evie on a new adventure, forming alliances with distant lands.
And guess who they left in charge while they're gone?
That's right. Villains rule! And you can bet I'm gonna shake things up around here.
...
Two double doors swung open as a woman entered the room, her sea green braids swinging as she wiped her copper brown head around the room, scrunching her nose and raising her eyebrow at the princessy exterior. But smiling when she noticed her dear friend Carlos' picture hanging on the wall, a place she and her three other friends had all agreed on.
"Ooh-ho!" She grinned, finally turning her head to the woman in a dark blue dress and blazer. Her jet black hair in a pixie cut. "I've been to the principle's office before, but never like this."
"I made us tea!" The other woman smiled happily as she ushered the sea green girl over to a small table adorned with a fancy antique tea set. "Sit! Sit please."
The blue-dressed woman began pouring the hot tea into the small adorable cups, the other girl fidgeting a bit with her jacket, she was dressed head to toe in an extremely detailed pirate outfit. From the shells that decorated her belt, to the sequence that covered her jacket. And all the sea shells that bordered the edges.
"It's a tough job Uma." The black-haired woman said. "But I hope you find it fulfilling."
"Hmm." Uma murmured quietly. "I've run a crew of cut-throats since I was sixteen. I think I can handle a few prep school kids. PIRATES!"
The large doors swung open once more as a group of pirates marched in, one of them, with messy blonde hair and a bandana grinned around the room, his sparkly blue eyes wandering around the walls.
Another, his dark raven black hair hanging around his face, the eyeliner around his two brown eyes making it look as if he was half skeleton, the hook he held in his right hand glinting in the sunlight that filtered through the tall window at the back of the room.
"Harry, Gil, have some tea!" Uma handed the two of them cups. The blonde happily gulped it down, while the one with the hook raised an eyebrow at his captain.
"Just enjoy retirement!" Uma turned back to the other woman.
"I'm not retiring." The other girl said. "I- are you sure you want to put that up there?" She grimaced as Harry covered the shelves that were packed with books with a huge flag that took up the entire wall.
She sighed as she returned her attention to Uma, smiling as she continued. "I've been chosen as the new president of Auradon University! And to ensure a seamless transition..." She headed over to a desk and took out a piece of paper from one of the four small drawers. "I have prepared a list! Color-coded by priority!"
Uma took a glance at the sheet of highlighted words and blinked at all the yellow, blue, and pink. She looked up at the grinning woman in front of her, before saying;
"My first order of business will be making sure kids from all the kingdoms are welcome to attend AP."
The other woman nodded. "Oh well that's already our school policy."
"I said 'all'." Uma reminded her. "Even Wonderland."
The blue themed women's pupals dilated, panic flaring in her chest. "Wonderland?" She chuckled. "No. Oh no. Wonderland is hostile."
"I've heard." Uma smirked. "Their queen's a tyrant!"
"The Queen of Hearts refused to join Auradon when we united. She raised an army and we had to wall off the rabbit hole! Oh dear, if only Queen Mal and King Ben were here!"
"Well too bad they're not." Uma shrugged. "And why do you think Mal put me in charge of she didn't wanna shake things up around here? No offense Fairy G, but you don't know Mal and Ben like I do."
Uma strolled over to the few pictures on the wall, one of them being Carlos, the other being a group shot of them all laughing together.
"I used to hate Mal. I'm sure you've heard, but you know what happened?" Uma turned back to Fairy Godmother, smiling. "I held a grudge against her for years, but eventually I saw that it was so childish of me, to keep holding this grudge. And when she apologized, I let it go. And we reconciled, we saw the good in each other. When she and Ben finally opened up the Isle, they gave all us villains a second chance. If you ask me, it's time Wonderland got one too."
Uma then pulled a letter from her jacket, holding it out for Fairy Godmother to take. "This is for princess Red." She said.
"Are you sure?" Fairy Godmother looked at her with a serious expression.
Uma looked over at the picture of her dear friend, feeling her eyes well up. He had been like a brother to her, after she had joined them all on the Isle, they had realized they had a lot of things in common. Some even said the two argued so much that they were surprised they weren't related.
She returned her gaze to Fairy Godmother, blinking as she tried to clear her blurry vision.
"It's what Carlos would've wanted." She said, a somber expression forming on her face, one, singular tear escaping her eye. "So don't do it for me. Do it in honor of him."
The two held each other's gazes, knowing they shared close enough pain. Carlos had been Jane's, Fairy Godmother's daughter, boyfriend. And he had grown on her so much as she had considered him her son. She had been devastated when she'd heard of his death.
Fairy glanced at Carlos' picture, sucked in a breath, and walked swiftly over to her wand, grabbing it, ready to cast the spell.
"Hey," Uma joined her, a smile forming once more on her lips.
Fairy Godmother raised her wand to the letter, and began her spell.
"Bibbidi, bobbidi, boo!" Dust flew over the paper, and it lifted into the air, flying out of the castle and across Auradon.
It zipped through the forest, and weaved through trees and bushes, eventually reaching it's destination.
The rabbit hole.
...
That's right! Auradon may have brought down the barrier, but they still left one VK behind. Not on my watch.
So I'm sending an invite!
To the kingdom no one dares to talk about.
The one that lurks right below the surface.
Wonderland, a dark world of mystery and magic. And its ruler, the Queen of Hearts? Well, she's got a reputation for being downright ruthless.
I think we all know her famous line, "Off with their head!"
"Subjects of Wonderland! You have one minute to comply with her Royal Majesty's curfew, or else..."
Or else it's off with your head.
There's only one person who dares to resist the Queen's orders.
And that's her very own daughter.
Princess Red.
...
"🎶 I'm a rebel, I'm a menace, I'm a one-girl riot. Yeah, yeah. 🎶"
Red strutted through the streets of her kingdom, her head high and her eyes glaring.
"🎶 Slippin' through the shadows like I'm ultraviolet. Yeah, yeah 🎶"
"🎶 Hearts on the walls but no love in the streets. Appetite for destruction, a girl's gotta eat, yeah. Devil on my shoulder and it won't be quiet. Yeah, yeah. 🎶"
She snipped numerous roses from their stems and glared up at her mother's tapestry that hung from the outside castle wall, a water balloon full of red paint in hand.
"🎶 I'm on a path of destruction, this is gonna be fun! 🎶" Without hesitation she threw the balloon at the huge tapestry, the red paint, being the only color of paint in the kingdom except pink and white, splattering over her mother's face.
"🎶 SET IT OFF! 🎶" She swung a crowbar, smashing numerous pots.
"🎶 GO BERSERK! 🎶" She cartwheeled across the courtyard, kicking the lanterns hanging from a zip line above.
"🎶 TONIGHT I LIGHT IT UP LIKE FIREWORKS! 🎶"
"🎶 BURN IT DOWN, TIL' ALL THEY'RE SEEIN' NOW IS 'Red, Red, Red, Red'. 🎶"
She perched herself in a bush that had been carved out to shape the outside of a heart.
Then, as expected, the castle guards made their appearance, their hands locked and bodies turned to shape a heart.
As they began dancing along, Red sneaked behind another heart-shaped bush, hidden from the guards, who were completely unaware of her presence.
"🎶 SOLDIERS AT THE READY!? 🎶" The minister called to his soldiers .
"🎶 SIR, YES SIR! 🎶" The soldiers replied.
"🎶The queen's not very friendly! 🎶" The minister warned.
"🎶 THAT'S FOR SURE! 🎶" They agreed.
"🎶 It's criminal how, you follow the crown. Fists in the air, boots on the ground. I hear the sound, and it's getting loud! Yellin' 'Red, Red, Red, Red!' 🎶" She threw a flare, which gradually exploded, alerting them all of her presence as she grinned, dancing just out of their view.
"🎶 I'm breaking in! Call the guards! Raise the alarm, Princess of Hearts, lit after dark. Off with their heads! Leave em' for dead! Seeing 'Red Red Red Red!' 🎶" She now stood atop the castle wall where she clenched her hands into fists, resting them on her hips.
Her hip jutted out, as she loved to show off her sassy personality in all her movements.
The guards felt dread arise in their chests as they watched her lift her arms, pressing them together above her head and slowly bringing them apart, moving them like a ticking clock. It was her way of telling them that they didn't have much time to catch her.
"Seize her!" The minister yelled, pointing at the sneering masked figure on the castle wall.
"🎶 I'm on a path of destruction, they gon' think I'm on one! 🎶" She flared her hood, still grinning as she bolted from where the guards were heading.
"🎶 SET IT OFF!! 🎶"
"🎶 GO BERSERK! 🎶"
"🎶 TONIGHT I LIGHT IT UP LIKE FIREWORKS!! 🎶"
"🎶 Tare it down, then paint this town 'Red Red Red Red'! 🎶"
"🎶 I don't want my life ruled by some queen! Look into my eyes, see the fire in me! Burn it down! Til' all they're seein' now is 'Red Red Red Red'. 🎶"
Her mask flew off, her hood flying down, as she glanced back at the guards before disappearing into the night.
"🎶 Up all night 🎶" the minister sang.
"🎶 Right, left, right! 🎶" The soldiers replied.
"🎶 Never question orders! 🎶"
"🎶 Or we'll pay the price! 🎶"
"🎶 Protect the queen's borders! 🎶"
"🎶 Remember what she said- 🎶"
"🎶 It's either off with their heads or it's off with OUR heads! 🎶"
"🎶 Get the girl, get the girl, get the girl, get the girl! 🎶" They vocalized as they ran after her.
"🎶 She's painting our whole world- 🎶"
"🎶 She's painting our whole world- 🎶"
"🎶 She's painting our whole world RED! 🎶"
"🎶 I don't want my life ruled by some queen, look into my eyes, see the fire in me! Burn it down, 'til all they're seein' now is red, red, red, red, red. 🎶"
Red found herself trapped in a corner, before a claw lowered and grabbed her hood, lifting her upward.
"🎶 Off with her head! Red! 🎶"
"🎶 Off with her head! Red! 🎶"
"🎶 Off with her head! Red! 🎶"
2038 words!
