"Beverly!"

I jump at the sudden shout, turning on my heel to see Mal, Evie, Jay, and Carlos approaching Jane and I. I smile at the group, sending them a friendly wave before turning back to Jane.

"You need to stop stressing over napkins and focus on the party favors, the only reason I'm going is for the free stuff. I'm sure I'm not the only one either, so get on Mal about that. Everything else will fall into place, so just chill a bit." I place my hand on the girl's shoulder and she nods, shooting me a tight smile.

"Thanks, Bev."

"No problem," I turn to the group of villain kids who have arrived behind Jane and I. "Hey guys, what's up?"

"I have an opening for a fitting at 3, wanna snag it before I ask Jane or Lonnie?" Evie whispers as I take the spot next to her.

"Coronation dress or Cotillion?" I whisper back, turning to look at the girl.

"Cotillion, we can do Coronation after Cotillion is over."

"Sure," I sigh, smirking as my eyes land on my brother. "be right back."

"Ben!" I shout, catching his attention. My brother groans, clearly trying to avoid me but I run over to him anyway.

"What do you want, Beverly? I need to talk to Mal." Ben utters, eyes focused on his girlfriend who is being interrogated by Jane about Cotillion.

Okay, you got this. Be subtle and smooth.

Subtle. Smooth. You can do it!

"I need you to fund a trip for me, for my proclamation." I reveal, only slightly lying.

Truth is I don't have a proclamation, I don't even want to be Queen. But I know how to manipulate my brother, if he thinks I'm doing something for the kingdom then he'll consider what I have to offer.

Ben, who is clearly taken aback by my forwardness, stutters out a shocked "Uh, okay. Where do you want to go?"

My eyes fall to my shoes and I take a deep breath before blurting, "the Isle."

"No."

"What the hell, bro? You didn't even think about it. Why not?" I snap. Of course I never expected him to say yes but I atleast thought he would consider it.

"Because it's the Isle of the Lost, Beverly. That's way too dangerous!" Ben growls, his inner beast making itself present before disappearing just as quickly as it came.

"I've been practicing my fencing with Jay! Plus you brought Isle kids here, whats the difference? Hmm?" I demand, glaring at my brother as he rubs a hand down his face.

"I brought them here where we have guards and people to keep us safe if they lash out! If someone attacks you on the Isle then you could be seriously hurt, does that not scare you?" Ben questions incredulously.

"Nope," I shake my head stubbornly. "Come on, Ben. I can hold my own."

"You can't even make toast without nearly burning the castle down, how do you expect me to believe you can fend off villains?"

"That's different!" I protest, stomping my foot and pouting my bottom lip.

"Don't even start with your tantrums, princess. You can't always have your way, that isn't how life works." Ben shouts, "you aren't going to Isle and that's final." he continues before pushing past me to get to Mal.

"You aren't going to the Isle and that's final!" I mock, rolling my eyes. "You aren't my dad, you can't tell me what to do, asshol-"

"Beverly! If you want your dress fitted you better come now!"

"Can't you see I'm ranting?" I whine, turning to glare at Evie who stands behind me with her arms crossed over her chest.

"No, drop the look. Let's go." Evie commands.

"Okay, mom."

-

"Magnificant!" Evie praises, looking over my dress with a look of admiration.

"I look really girly," I mutter, staring at my reflection. "Like really girly."

"What was that?"

"Nothing, it's gorgeous. Thank you, Eve." I answer, stepping out of the dress. I toss my clothes back on, turning to Evie with a smirk. "Can I design your dress for Cotillion?"

"No." The girl replies almost instantly.

"Why?"

"Because you'd put me in Isle clothes!"

"Isle clothes are hot." I shrug, slinging my bag over my shoulder. "Hey, do you know when Mal will be back from her date with Ben?"

"Nope," Evie mutters, making her way to the door.

"Mind if I stay here and wait for her?"

"Go for it." The blue haired girl shrugs, "If you decide to leave make sure the door closes the whole way. Last time I left you in here alone you left and left the door open so Chad came in and stole all of my rhinestones!"

"Aye, aye captain!" I salute, laughing at the thought of Chad smuggling rhinestones.

-

"Level 21 complete!"

"Yay! Go me, go me." I throw my hands in the air, letting out a shriek as my phone slips from my grasp and falls to the floor. "Crap."

I climb out of Evie's bed, bending over to pick up my phone. Suddenly, the door opens and then slams shut causing me to jump, my phone slipping from my grasp and sliding under the bed. I let out a huff, climbing under the bed to retrieve my phone.

"I don't belong here," a voice cries, followed by shuffling. I jump at the sudden noise, smacking my head against the bed.

"Ow!" I whimper, rubbing my head. I grab my phone and begin sliding out from under the bed.

"Let's blow this popsicle stand." the voice says again and I immediately recognize it as Mal.

I quickly push myself out from under the bed only to be greeted by an empty room, "Mal?" I jump up, rushing around the room, "Mal?" I shout a little louder, gasping as my eyes land on a note.

"Dear, well, everyone,
I'm so sorry, I don't belong here. I belong on the Isle, so I'm going back. Please don't come looking for me-"

I stop reading the note, dropping my phone as I race out of the room.

This is it! My chance to escape Auradon and go to the Isle. I can finally tell off stupid Gaston! I can be free of responsibilities! No one will tell me what to do or how to act, I can do whatever I want! I have an excuse now. This is my chance to be free. If I get caught I just say I'm going to get Mal. This is actually it!

I let out an excited squeal before sprinting out of the dorms all the way to my scooter where I immediately hop on and begin my journey to the bridge.

I come to a stop at the edge of the broken bridge, letting out a gasp as it crumbles under my scooter. "Okay Bev, you can do this. You are going to the Isle! You are going to the Isle of the Lost! If anyone asks why you'll just say you were going to get Mal, you can do this!"

I look out at the island, bracing myself as I flip the switch on my scooter and the bridge twinkles gold. "You got this! You've wanted to go for so long and now you have an excuse to go! Just do it! Go!"

I squeeze my eyes shut before taking off across the bridge. Well, no backing out now.
