"BEN!!"

Carlos called while the other boys are looking around the place.

I was just following Dude, while the others kept on looking at the surroundings.

I don't know why Mal even thought about making me be with these guys.

Especially both Carlos and Harry.

We all stopped and rested for a bit. Carlos sat down on a rock and called Dude over.

Why did I even thought about hanging out with the talking dog when his other owner is here?

I saw Gil went to a berry bush and Jay walked over while I couldn't find Harry.

"BOO!!"

A voice shouted next to my ear but I didn't even flinch.

I turned to look at Harry with a raised eyebrow, making him frown at me.

"Oh come on, you didn't even know that I was here!" He complained, slightly slouching.

"And I still didn't jump in fear." I said, crossing my arms.

He leaned on a tree next to him and copied my action.

"What were you talking about with that mutt? I heard him say my name when the two of you were talking back at the castle."

My eyes widened and looked away, "It's nothing. He just asked something about you and me."

"What about us?" He asked.

I didn't need to look at him to know that his eyebrow is raised.

"Like I said, it was nothing. I'm gonna look around, you should spend time with the guys." I said and walked away, seeing Dude walk towards something.

(Y/N) walked away from me and I made my way to the others with a small smile.

She is still the mysterious girl I met that day on the dock.

I leaned on a tree and listened to the conversation.

"We should play that icebreaker." Gil said to Jay while eating something.

"Um, Jay. I like the way that you can bounce around and jump off things. These are free right?"

Jay walked over to him and I went to look around the plants.

"Yeah, uh, I like how you get a kick out of a berry bush." I heard Jay say and I went back to lean on the tree.

"I guess, you probably seen everything right now." Gil said, staring at the fruit in his hand then at Jay.

"Furry rocks, giant fish. You're probably used to grabbing lunch out of a bush."

Jay shook his head.

"No. Not really. I mainly just use the vending machine to practice. You know Tourney, kinda most of my times."

I laughed and looked at him in disbelief, "Tourney?! That's a wee boy's game."

They just looked at me and didn't even say anything.

"You know what would be fun? To go rafting in a jungle river." Gil said to Jay casually, as if they were friends since they were children.

"Find the lost civilization."

"Or maybe a penguin!"

"Oh, well you'll find those more on icebergs but I'd love to see one of those."

The two kept on talking as I looked around for (Y/N).

I walked over to them, "You guys are killing me!" I then grabbed a berry with my hook and ate it.

It tastes delicious actually.

"P.S. your mutt and girlfriend went that way." I said to Carlos and walked towards where (Y/N) went.

"Oh! She's not my girlfriend anymore." I heard him say, making me stop in my tracks momentarily.

"Carlos!" Dude shouted over to them as I looked around for any signs of Ben next to Dude.

"Dude, what do you see?" Carlos shouted as they ran towards us.

We followed Dude even further down the hill as the guys kept calling his name.

"Oh boy! Something stinks and it wasn't me this time!" The talking dog said, staring at a tree.

Some creature roared and jumped out from behind the tree and Dude ran over to us, and towards my arms.

I felt Harry grab me and pulled me away from the creature.

He made me stand behind him and we closely watched the thing.

The creature looked at Harry and tried to pounce on him but luckily Jay pushed him down and Harry punched it to the side.

The thing still tried to pounce on him and Jay pulled him beside me, saving him again.

It climb on the rock and I noticed that it was wearing an Auradon jacket.

"You need some serious nose adjustments." Harry said, looking at the creature.

"I'm not so sure." Carlos chimed in from the other side of me, all of us stared at the thing cautiously.

It roared again and an idea popped in my head.

"Ben?"

He looked at me and I shuffled on my feet.

"Did Audrey do that?" I heard Carlos ask.

"Huh, I thought I recognized those pants." Jay said, making Ben look at his trousers.

He suddenly looked at his furry hand and Gil said, "Oh! He's got a boo boo that's why he's so cranky! You know, my dad said that his dad did not handle pain well at all."

"You're good with animals, do something." Jay said, glancing at Carlos.

"But-- okay..."

Carlos slowly walked towards Ben at the top of the rock.

"Okay, Ben. It's me, Carlos. Alright..."

He almost got clawed by Ben, making us back away slightly as I covered my face with Dude.

"Ben! Ben, it's me Carlos. Alright? You know me. You helped me once, remember with Dude? Let me help you... Come on, let me see your hand." Carlos said and glanced at us then back at Ben.

He grabbed Ben's hand, "On the count, alright? 1, 2..."

Ben roared loudly as Carlos finally plucked the splinter out of his hand.

Water was sprayed from behind us and to Ben, sparkles coming out of him.

We looked around and saw Jane.

Of all people I don't want to see right now.

Carlos ran towards her in an instant, they rambled on and hugged.

I slowly put Dude down and frowned at the sight, and felt a hand hold my shoulder.

I looked at Harry and gave him a sad smile, turning away from the scene.

Jay guided Ben towards a rock and we followed them.

I then caught Harry staring at Jane and I glared at him.

Really?? Him too?

"You need another blast." Jane said and started to spray Ben with water but nothing happened.

"Huh, it's enchanted lake water. I guess it can only do so much."

"Well, well. Wow! Harry Hook, and you my little duckling are ravishing."

My pirate walked over to Jane and Carlos, and I stomped on his foot.

"Ouch! What was that for?" He asked, holding his foot in pain.

"Look here." I said, pointing to myself.

He chuckled, "Just like old times." He then looked back at Jane.

Carlos laughed, "Okay. Uh, ravishing and taken. Just in case anyone was confused."

He held Jane's shoulder as I dragged Harry away from them.

"He's taken too, just to make things clear." I stated, smacking the back of Harry's head.

"Ow! You didn't have to do that, you know." He said, rubbing the back of his head.

"Hold on."

We then looked over at Ben, "Whose side are they on?" He pointed at Harry.

Jay patted his back and explained, "They escaped and joined us, and Mal has the ember which is our only hope to stop Audrey. Details to follow."

"Hades' ember? Did Mal gone back to the Isle?" Ben asked, turning to Jay.

"I said details to follow. Meeting up with Mal, Evie, and Uma--"

"Uma?!"

"Details to follow!" Jay, Jane, Carlos, and I repeated.

Jay then pushed Ben towards Evie's, us following them.

I looked at Harry and glared at him.

"What? It wasn't my fault that I saw someone ravishing."

I rolled my eyes at him. "You told me I was ravishing when we first met."

He traced my jawline with his hook, "You still are."

"More than your duckling?" I asked, crossed arms infront of my chest.

"Well she isn't mine, now is she? Because you are."

He gave me a wink as he smirked and walked away.

I shook my head and looked at Carlos helping Jane down.

"I just want to talk to Jane." I said and Carlos nodded, walking towards the others.

I turned to Jane and smiled, "Let's walk and talk."

"Look, if it's about earlier. I--"

"Thank you."

I interrupted her and she gave me a shocked look.

"W-why did you thank me?"

I looked down at my feet and sighed.

"You were... Great back there. If it weren't for you, we won't know how to turn back Ben to his normal form without shocking the girls.

I looked at her to see that she was smiling at me.

"It's actually no problem." She replied, making the guilt in me rise.

"And I'm sorry... I'm sorry that I was being mean to you whenever we get the chance to talk, just the two of us. I think I was just mad that Ben made you his new secretary and jealous because Carlos picked you to be his girlfriend than me."

I laughed, "He's so lucky to have you to be his girlfriend. You're so independent and collected while I'm depending on the VKs and sometimes forget the things needed to be done..."

"Look, I know that you don't really like talking about my and Carlos' relationship but I want you to know that he really really loved you. Ask Carlos if you don't believe me. The first time we dated, he was always panicking about what if you learn about it whenever we hang outside."

I looked up at her in shock as she looked at the boys infront of us.

I looked at them and my eyes landed on Carlos then at Harry.

I smiled and said, "That's all in the past now, I'm with my first love now and I'm gonna do everything I can to be with him."

I glanced back at Jane to see that she was giving me a surprised look. I raised my eyebrows at her in confusion.

"Didn't Celia told you that you're finally going to be with your first love?"

My eyes widened in shock, "And she told you that you were going to meet a tall and handsome stranger!"

I facepalmed, "Now I need to pay her."

Jane laughed and I joined in, when we stopped I went to hug her and she happily hugged back.

"Happy bibbidy bobbidy birthday." I whispered.

"Thanks." She whispered back and we heard a voice from infront of us.

"(Y/N)! Jane! Hurry up! We don't want both of your boyfriends going insane in search of the two of you!" Jay yelled, making Jane and I laugh again.

"Let's go?" I asked, linking my arm with hers.

"Let's go." She said and we giggled happily to the boys.

We pulled away and went to our boyfriends, well, her boyfriend while with my first love.

"What did you two talked about?" Harry asked, wrapping his arm around my waist.

"That I was now finally with my one true love." I gently kissed his lips and pulled away to see him smile lovingly at me.

I hope Ben will agree to make them stay here...
