Twenty Four | Backfired

Ava looked around and she sighed. She knew that she has to help Ben, but that doesn't mean that she likes to sing, even though she has a good voice.

Ava

Let me tell you something you can really trust
Everybody's got a wicked side

Evie

I know you think that you can never be like us
Watch and learn so you can get it right

Ava, Evie, Jay, Carlos

You need to drag your feet
You need to nod your head
You need to lean back
Slip through the cracks
You need to not care

Carlos

Uh, you need to not stare

Ava

You need a whole lot of help
You need to not be yourself

Evie

You wanna be cool?
Let us show you how
You don't break the rules
We can show you how

Ava

And once you catch this feeling
And once you catch this feeling
You'll be chillin', chillin', oh

Ava, Evie, Jay, Carlos

Chillin' like a villain (chillin')
Chillin' like a villain (chillin')
Chillin' like a villain (hey)
Chillin' like a, chillin' like a (hey), villain

A guy approached Ben, and Ben was about to act friendly. Ava and Jay quickly ran over, Ava dragging Ben back, and Jay scaring the guy away.

Ava

Your attention when you act like that
Let us teach you how to disappear

They all went into an alley and the villain kids and Ava got ontop of a railing.

Evie

You look like you would lose a fight to an alley cat
Gotta be wrong to get it right 'round here

Ava

Rawr!

Ava, Evie, Jay, Carlos

You need to watch your back
You need to creep around
You need to slide real smooth

The four slid effortlessly on the railing, and Ben tried to do the same on the ground, but he ended up kicking garbage cans over.

Ava, Evie, Jay, Carlos

Don't make a sound
And if you want it, take it
And if you can't take it, break it
And if you care about your health

Carlos did a cool dance move, and Ben tried to copy him, but failed. Carlos and Ava looked at one another before helping Ben back onto his feet.

Evie

Seriously, you need to not be yourself

Ava

You wanna be cool?
Let us show you how
You don't break the rules
We can show you how
And once you catch this feeling

Ava, Evie, Jay, Carlos

And once you catch this feeling
You'll be chillin', chillin', oh
Chillin' like a villain (chillin')
Chillin' like a villain (chillin')
Chillin' like a

Ben

I really wanna be bad a lot
And I'm giving it my best shot
But it's hard being what I'm not

Carlos

Well if you don't, you're gonna get us caught

Ava

He's right, we gotta stay low-key

Evie

Now show us how bad you can be

Ben began pulling out things he stole from everyone except Ava. He showed Evie the shades he stole from the guy, gave Jay his wallet back, and he gave Carlos his phone back.

Ben and Evie

Like this? (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Like this? (yeah, yeah)

Ava and Jay shared a look, and Ava thought that they could actually pull this off without a problem.

Ben

Oh yeah, I think I got this
Let's go, I'm ready to rock this
And I ain't gonna thank you for your help
I think I found the words to myself

Ava and Evie

You wanna be cool?
Let us show you how
You need to break the rules
We can show you how
And once you catch this feeling

Everyone

And once you catch this feeling
You'll be chillin', chillin', oh
Chillin' like a villain (chillin')
Chillin' like a villain (chillin')
Chillin' like a villain (chillin')
Chillin' like a villain (chillin')
Chillin' like a villain (chillin')

"That's the last time you make me sing," said Ava. Carlos chuckled and wrapped his arm around her waist. "We'll see about that." Ava hummed in response. A guy had bumped into Ben, making Ben put his gaze down as the four walked over.

"Hey, man. Hey. Hey, I know you."

"Uh, no. Don't know you either, man," said Ben, acting as if he doesn't care. "Yeah, you do," the stranger insisted. He was sure that he's seen him around, but doesn't know where. "Really? Come on, man. Huh? Dude, I'll give you a hint. My dad is quick, slick, and his neck. . . Is incredibly thick." The group of five tensed up. Ava tensed up because she didn't want to web the poor guy up, and Ben tensed up when he realized that the stranger they were talking to was Gil, son of Gaston. However, Ben had to remind himself that not every villain kid is evil. Then again, they told him that they sure won't let Ben go without a fight if they were to find out that he was there on the Isle.

"Come on, man, I kn - Huh?"

Gil pointed behind the group and they all turned to see a vandalized poster of Ben. Ava was praying that Gaston's son was a lot more dense, but her prayers were ignored when Gil said, "Oh! You're King Ben!"

"Okay, let's go!" Ava rushed as Ben tried to deny it. Gil, however, kept talking.

"Yeah, you totally are King Ben. And you're Jay, Carlos, and Evie. Hey, guys. Who's the girl?" Everyone ignored Gil as they all ran away, trying to get Ben far away from Gil as possible.

"Does he have any friends he might tell?" Ava asked as the five ran. Evie and Jay shared a look. "Let's not worry about that right now." Ava knew that Evie basically ment 'yes', but she didn't want to talk about it even more. Ben and Ava followed the three villains kids through alley ways until they finally came to a stop.

Jay picked up a rock and looked around before he threw it at a "CAUTION: FALLING ROCKS" sign. Ava chuckled at the irony, but then they all walked over when the gate was lifted, allowing them to go up the set of stairs. Jay led Ben over and everyone looked up at the stairs. Ben looked back at them, and Ava gave him a reassuring nod.

"Wish me luck."

"All the way up," said Jay.

Ben nodded and he began walking up the stairs. And now, the group of four will be playing the waiting game. As the group waited, Carlos sat next to Ava, and he smiled at her. Ava smiled back and she took hold of his hand, intertwining her fingers with his. Jay and Evie noticed, and they gave each other a smirk.

The two noticed and Carlos began to blush. Ava smiled over at Carlos, and she leaned over and kissed his cheek. Carlos turned beet red, and everyone laughed at him. Ava smiled at the boy she fell for, and Carlos smiled back.

Much too soon, they heard footsteps. Everyone stood up, but they only saw Ben. "So?" Evie asked. "Where's Mal?"

"She's not coming back."

"What?"

Ben began to walk away and Evie announced that she was going to talk to Mal. Ava stepped over to the side and she pressed on her ear comm. "Harley? Come in, Harley."

"Yeah, I'm here. How's it going?"

"Gaston's son recognized them, but not me. . . Pretty sure he's going to end up telling someone. Ben went to talk to Mal, but it didn't work. Mal won't come back."

"Are you going to web her up?"

"I don't think that would help. I think we're just going to give her some time, let things cool down."

"All right, well I'm here for you. Stay safe."

"Will do." Ava sighed and she walked back over to the group. "Guys! Where's Ben?" Everyone looked at Carlos before looking in the direction where Ben had disappeared off to.

"Ben?" Evie called out. "Ben!" They saw a figure walking over to them, and the villain kids felt relieved, but Ava felt that something was off. "Ben, don't scare us like that," said Evie, and Ava shook her head.

"That's not Ben."

"Don't scare you?" The guy finally reached them, and they all backed away. "That's my specialty. And the little beauty here is right." The guy winked at Ava, causing the boys to stand in front of her. "Harry," said Evie. "What did you do to Ben?" Jay asked. "Oh! We nicked him! Mm-hm. And if you want to see him again, have Mal come to the Chip Shoppe tonight. Alone. Uma wants a little visit." Harry looked around and his eyes landed on Jay. "Aww, Jay. Seems like you've lost your touch." Jay went to lunge at him, but Ava held him back. Harry laughed and he looked at Ava one last time. "I like you. You're fiesty." He then walked away, whistling a tune.

"Who was that?" Ava asked.

"Harry Hook, son of Captain Hook," Carlos answered.

A/N: Sorry for the late update, guys.
