os | iii. jay & harry
"Hey guys, they're here!" Gil, son of Gaston, sing-songs as the core four and Lonnie, daughter of Mulan, make their way down the dock towards Uma's ship, the Lost Revenge. Mal steps up and the VKs and Lonnie flank the area behind her, the long colorful scarfs everywhere flowing in the chilly wind of the Isle of the Lost.
"Welcome!" The red coated pirate, Harry Hook says, with a maniacal look in his eyes. Jay's eyes follow the pirate, and Hook blows a kiss.
"Finally!" Uma prances, a wide, threatening smile on her face.
"Huh, let's get this party started,
I swear I'm cold hearted,
There's no negotiation, I'm not here for debatin',
You need some motivation?" She gestures to King Ben, and Harry feigns a pout and giggles, planting a little kiss on his cheek. Both Mal and Jay's eyes harden and they watch impatiently.
"Just look at Ben's face then ask yourself how long you think I'll remain patient.
I'll throw him overboard and let him swim with killer sharks,
You either hand over the wand or he'll be ripped apart." Uma finishes and crosses her arms, waiting smugly for a comeback from her rival, Mal, daughter of Maleficent.
"Now let's all just be smart,
Although for you that must be hard.
You'll get your wand, no one has to come to any harm!
Don't try to intimidate, your bark is much worse than your bite." Uma snaps her teeth and giggles. Mal continues, a little annoyed.
"Who's the baddest of them all? I guess we're finding out tonight!" Uma smirks and her crew joins her.
"Let's go, bring it on, better give us what we want," Mal's eyes harden and she waits for her squad's turn.
"It's the wand for the crown, if you don't it's goin' down." The VKs (and Lonnie, of course) continue with their part.
"Let's go, make your move, peace or war it's up to you,
Give him up and do it now, if you don't it's goin' down."
"We want the wand, or else the king is gone,
Your time is running out," Harry sways his pocket watch back and forth. "You should really watch your mouth."
"Let's go, pound for pound,
We're prepared to stand our ground," Jay makes brief eye contact with Harry before turning his attention to the turquoise clad captain.
"Put your swords up, put 'em up,
It's goin' down." The pirates dance and sing, chanting "Yo, ho, oh, make the trade,Yo, ho, oh, or walk the plank." Two times over, and the VKs turn to each other, trying to determine their next move. Jay looks around the purple headed fairy's shoulders to try to communicate to Harry with his eyes.
"Okay, look, this is not a conversation,
It's a do or die situation,
If you don't give me back the king,
I'll have no hesitation!
I'll serve you right here, and I don't need a reservation,
That way your whole 'pirate crew' can have a demonstration.
Release him now, and we can go our separate ways,
Unless you wanna deal with me, and the VKs." Mal finishes her speech, satisfied with the utter amount of snarkiness she put into it.
"So that's your big speech, huh? An empty ultimatum?" Harry walks up next to Uma, and she taps his chin, giving him permission to speak. Jay moves to stand behind Mal, and pleads with his eyes at the pirate but Harry ignores him, carrying out Uma's simple order.
"All it takes is one swing and I'll humiliate him,
Matter of fact, make one wrong move and I'll debilitate him!" Jay watches Harry as he strokes his hook through Mal's hair, Harry knowing full well it'll make Jay jealous.
"And if he even starts to slip, I'll eliminate him!
All it takes is one wrong move and I'll–" Uma pulls him away and Harry blows yet another kiss.
"Harry, we get it, chill." Uma states and they move back into their chant. The pirates and the VKs face off, singing and dancing aggressively. Carlos hands Mal the wand, and the king decides to put in a word.
"Hey! We don't have to choose,
We don't have to light the fuse, Mal, whatever you do it's gonna be a lose-lose," He makes eye contact with her, and her green eyes soften, she's worried for king Ben.
"There's gotta be a better way,
Harry, you'll be free to see the sea, there's no need to stay
Uma, I promise I'll give you your chance, you'll have your say!"
"Silly king, you? Give us? You're gonna give us a chance? Well, not a chance!" She sings, and she brings her sword down, pointed at her friend turned nemesis, Mal.
"Yo, ho, oh, make the trade,
Yo, ho, oh, or walk the plank,
Yo, ho, oh, make the trade,
Yo, ho, oh, or walk the plank," Mal holds out the wand, but Uma puts up her palm.
"Hold up. Mm. Too easy. Why don't you give it a test drive?"
"We want to see it work." Harry insists. Mal's eyes widen the slightest bit, trying to find a way to prove the wand 'works'.
"You two always were quite the drama queens."
"Oh, and nothing too big, or else Ben is fish bait." Mal turns back to the VKs, and Carlos nods his head to the right slightly. Mal sees Dude, and she smiles in realization.
"Although it seems absurd, turn your bark into a word!" When Dude just sits there, Uma doubting the wand, Mal demands ferociously; "Talk, dog."
"Does this vest make me look fat? Hey, does anyone have some bacon? Cookies?" Uma's crew descends into laughter, and she grabs at her hand with the air.
"Gimme the wand!"
"Give me Ben!" Uma gestures to Harry.
"Harry, bring him over." As Ben is pushed over by Harry, Gil starts talking about his parents, but just look at how cute the golden child is, none of us are really listening.
"Cut him loose, Harry."
"I never get to have any fun. Actually, scratch that, Jay and I have plenty of fun." Harry says, then winks at the VK who is just happy Harry acknowledged his existence. Once Mal helps Ben up, Uma is about to use the wand and she pushes Ben who is reluctant to leave.
"Ben, go!" Uma's crew gathers around her, and she points the wand at the sky.
"By the power of the sea, tear it down and set us free!" When nothing happens, Uma's eyes darken, and she snaps the wand on her knee then tosses it to the ground. She clenches her fists in fury as she stomps towards Mal.
"No! You do not get to win every time!" A fight breaks out, and Mal gestures 'come at me'. Harry jumps down in front of Jay, and cocks his head to the side.
"Hello, Bluejay."
"Hey, pirate." Jay says with a small smile.
"So, what, you've come to gloat? Leave me here again?"
"Harry, I didn't want to leave! My dad made me...I never forgot you. I promise, I never forgot."
"Well, Jay, this isn't like you at all! Begging, and pleading, and is that a tear a see?" Harry giggles maniacally.
"Stop. It's not funny when you taunt me." Harry pouts, and swings his sword back and forth.
"Isn't it cute though?" Jay smiles a little bit then crosses his arms while Harry runs his hook through Jay's hair.
"No, and I need you to listen to me!" He throws his arms up in the air in frustration.
"I want to take you back with me! I want to make it up to you, pirate."
"You really think I want to go with you to Bore-adon? I belong here, in Uma's crew." Harry throws Jay against the post and giggles, pleased with the unfair advantage of using his hook.
"I really like your hair when that stupid hat is gone, pirate."
"Same goes for you, Jay." Jay pushes Harry off, but not before Harry snatches his hat off. Jay smirks at the hook still linked onto his sword. Harry blinks and holds one hand out, clenching tightly to Jay's beanie in the other.
"I'll give you the hook...but only if you come back with me." Harry rolls his eyes, but Jay can see his concern for the hook. It's funny how attached the pirate is to his hook.
"No. I can't come with you. I can't leave Uma."
"So...you love her?"
"Not in the way you're thinking. Don't be stupid, Jay. She's my best friend. And I can't leave the golden boy, he'll get his head stuck in something."
"So if we bring both of them over, you'll come with me?" Harry runs his hand through his ruffled hair.
"Yeah, Jay." Harry walks tentatively over to Jay, who carefully detaches the hook from his sword. Jay tucks his sword into a loop and Harry cups his face.
"I missed you, Jay." Jay smirks and wraps his arms around Harry's neck.
"I missed you too, pirate." Harry leans in for a kiss and Jay connects. It was quick, but it meant a lot to both of them. Jay grabs Harry's hand and gently lets go as he runs away. "I promise I'll come back, I'd never leave you!" He says, and Harry blows a kiss.
"Didn't doubt you for a second, love."
