Ben had accidentally ran into someone and Penny was immediately by his side. "Hey, man," The guy said as he held his hands up. Ben immediately backed off and Penny stood in front of Ben. Yes, she may be small, but there's a lot of anger in her tiny, little body. Penny noticed that something clicked in his head and he suddenly got excited, making the group of five nervous. "Hey. Hey, I know you!" Evie, Jay, and Carlos then ran over and they surrounded Ben. Ben began to shake his head 'no' and he stuttered a little. "Uh, no. Don't - don't know you either, man," Ben told him in a low voice.

Penny rolled her eyes.

"Uh, yeah, you do. C'mon, man. Really? Huh." The guy thought that Ben would've recognized him, since he thought that he knew Ben or that Ben was an old friend. "Dude, I'll give you a hint. My dad is quick, slick, and his neck. . . Is incredibly thick." Penny automatically knew that he must be Gil, Gaston's son.

She remembers passing through his profile when she helped Ben pick out the kids to attend Auradon.

Gil then looked around and his eyes immediately settled on a very familiar face.

"Oh, hey Carlos."

"Hey, Gil."

"Did you hear that Mal is back? Harry was telling me all about how he ran into her earlier. He said that she - " but Gil stopped himself. Penny felt herself tense up at the mention of Captain Hook's son and Carlos had noticed, but he didn't have time to ask her about it.

Gil was looking at a poster on the wall behind the five and he looked between the posters and the group of people in front of him. "You're King Ben!" He then stepped forward and took Penny's glasses. "And you're Penny Pan." Penny grabbed her glasses back and glared at Gil. "Carlos, Evie, Jay, you guys are back too! Hey guys!"

The group of five took that as their cue and they all ran off, Ben and Penny following the VKs.

☆ ☆ ☆

The group slowed to a stop as the VKs were now in front of their old hideout. Jay picked up a rock and threw it at a yellow sign that says "Danger Flying Rocks" and it caused a gate to rise and to reveal a stairwell. Penny chuckled at the irony but then became serious as she, Ben, and Evie stood in front of the stairs.

"All the way up."

Ben grabbed onto the railing and looked back at the four. "Wish me luck." "Good luck," Evie and Penny told him. Ben let out a sigh and he began to follow the stairs. Penny then looked over at Carlos and then back at Evie and Jay. The two nodded and they walked a couple of yards away to give the couple space.

"You never answered my question from earlier," Carlos spoke up.

Penny paused and gave her boyfriend a look.

"Who was the guy you got all excited for?" Penny scoffed, a small smile on her lips. "Rufio? Besides Felix and my father, Rufio was my best friend on Neverland. Trust me, we never thought of each other as anything more than best friends. My dad made sure that none of the Lost Boys could date me, and most of them were younger than us anyway. The ones that did hit on me, well, let's just say that they never did again. Rufio was my best friend, that's it." Carlos scoffed and Penny felt herself getting angry. "Seriously? Okay. Then why were you and Jane so close today when you two were talking."

"She's just a friend, Penny."

"Yeah, and Rufio is just a friend too, yet you don't believe me. Do you not trust me?" "I do trust you, Penny. Why don't you want me around you?"

"I want you around me, Carlos. I want to let every single girl that you're mine and that there is no way in Hell that they'll get you. I just hate how I dragged you into everything. The paparazzi and reporters harrass you no matter where you go and you don't deserve to be put through that." "When are you going to get it into your head, Penny? I don't care about them. I want to be with you."

"I want to be with you too, Carlos, but look what it did to Mal. I just. . . I can't lose you." "You won't." A tear fell from Penny's left eye and Carlos pulled her into a hug. As Carlos ran his hands through Penny's hair, Ben came down the stairs. They all walked up to them, and they noticed the defeated look on his face.

Ben looked at the girls and sighed.

"She's not coming back."

The four stood in shock as Ben walked away. No one knew what to say. Penny made to go up the stairs but Jay held her back. "We should give Mal some time to cool off." Penny looked up at the stairs and she nodded rather reluctantly. She hugged Carlos, who hugged back and they've noticed that Ben has been gone for five minutes now.

"Guys, Ben isn't back."

The four looked at one another and Evie began to walk around.

"Ben? Ben?"

They saw a figure coming their way and they all relaxed. "Ben! Don't scare us like that," Evie scolded.

"Don't scare you?"

Penny immediately recognized the voice and she disappeared from Carlos' side, the boy didn't even notice. The group were no longer relaxed, because it wasn't Ben. "That's my specialty," Harry smirked as he approached the group of three. His eyes were roaming around them, as if he were looking for someone.

Gil had told everyone that the three came back with Ben and Penelope Pan. And the descendant of Captain Hook just had to see her for himself.

"Looking for me?" Penny asked as she used her magic to pop up behind Harry. Harry went to stab her, but she used her magic to stop his hand. She tsked and grabbed the hook. She then began to walk around him and her three friends didn't know what to do.

"Are you sure that's your specialty? 'Cause I'm pretty sure I can scare you. Not to mention. Tick tock." Harry gulped and Penny smirked. "Pan." "Hook." She then stopped in front of him and threw him the hook back. "What did you do with Ben?" Penny asked, well, more like demanded.

"Oh, we nicked him. Yeah, if you wanna see him again, have Mal go to the Chip Shoppe. Alone."

Harry then looked over at Jay and smirked.

"Oh, Jay, seems like you've lost your touch."

Jay went to lunge at him, but Evie stopped him. Carlos wrapped his arm around Penny's waist as she conjured up a fireball. Harry looked at the two and smirked. "You Pan's always have a weakness." Penny used magic to get out of Carlos' hold and she now had Harry pinned up against a wall. She used her magic to conjure up a dagger and she held it up to his neck. "Want to go again? For old time sake." "Oh I would love to, darling, but I'd rather do this." Harry leaned down, but Penny used magic again and now had him in a chokehold. "Do that again, and I'll cut your hand off." The two glared at one another before Penny let him leave.

"What the Hell was that?"

"Trust me. You don't want to know."

Penny looked over at Carlos but then she quickly turned away. "We have to tell Mal." Everyone nodded and they raced up the stairs. They entered the hideout to see Mal finishing a painting of Penny that she spray painted. "I thought I told you guys to leave me alone," Mal told her friends. Penny squeezed Carlos' hand before stepping forward.

"Ben has been captured."

"Uma has him."

Mal turned around and looked at her friends before sighing. "If you guys never would've brought him here, this never would've happened. What were you thinking?"

"He was going to come with or without us," said Penny.

"We just wanted to protect him," Evie added.

"Yeah, and we quickly blew it."

Penny glared at her boyfriend and Jay dismissed everyone. "What are we going to do? Uma wants you at the Chips Shop."

"I'm going to go get him," Mal told them.

Note:

I don't go on social media as much, I don't watch tv at all, and I hardly go on the internet.

But my friend told me about DisneyNOW and how they will be showing Descendants 3 on there.

So, get ready for that, guys.❤
