Double Open Starter-- The Main Event

Sarah stood next to Holly in the curtains, waiting for the penultimate act to finish. “Are you ready?” the witch whispered, barely able to hold back her excitement. Holly’s original warm-up had worked well, so Sarah couldn’t wait to see what their voices did together.  She let her fingers brush against Holly’s, giving her a rakish wink.

Holly had hardly paid any attention to the act in front of them. If she was to be honest... well, this was a little nervewracking. Not being in front of people, no,that was no trouble for her. And she wasn't necessarily having second thoughts about doing this. It just... it was a new experience, and it was slightly concerning. At Sarah's question, though, Holly smirks, looking over at her and answering confidently, "Absolutely. Are you?"

Sarah winked again, “Can’t wait. Let’s get this party started.” Without another word, she strutted onto the stage and announced with a flourish, “Hello Auradon! My name’s Sarah- what’s yours?” She grabbed one mic, waiting for Holly to join her.  As the elegant mermaid princess swanned over next to her, Sarah began to sing, a sultry mezzo-soprano weaving around the hall: “I put a spell on you, and now you’re mine...” She sent a wink in Trevor’s direction. Gesturing to Holly, she added, “You can’t stop the things we do- we ain’t lying,” a smile spread across her face as she continued, spinning slowly around Holly, “It’s been twenty years...right down to the day...and now the witch is back- and there’s hell to pay.” Sarah shared a smirk with River, “I put a spell on you- and now you’re mine.”

Holly gently tossed her hair off her should before she followed, and joining in with Sarah in an elegant alto voice wasn't a problem. As she looked over the crowd and, admittedly, couldn't help but love their responses... her eyes landed on an incredibly familiar dark head of hair. Her heart froze, even though she never stopped singing, the look of sheer panic crossing her eyes for a moment. River was here. River was here. She'd told him not to come! What was her brother doing here?! Despite her panic, Holly continues on. She'd have to deal with him after homecoming.

Closed Starter: Not Part Of The Plan (Holly/Harley)

Harley sipped her punch. She looked around the room at all the people. She couldn't help but smile to herself.

She didn't pay much attention to anything that didn't involve Sarah or Holly, there was no reason to. The people who performed were sub-par to what she'd imagined AK voices to be.

Then she saw the blonde Fitzherbert princess climb the steps to the stage.

Harley knew the girl wouldn't ever choose to do this on her own. She knew she hated attention. There was only one alternative. She'd been put under a spell. Harley had expected it...

Then she sang one particular line that made the demigoddess's blood run cold.

Iris looks at Eddie, like I still look at you!

Eddie. Eddie. Oh gods, Eddie. This princess had embarrassed Eddie while under Holly's spell. Harley smashed her punch glass. This was not part of the plan. She glared daggers at Holly.

She'd been along for the ride at the start, but now she was through. Harley had wanted chaos, not for her little brother to be hurt by some spiteful fish. She strutted over to Holly, carrying an energy she hadn't since she quit being her father's pet. She grabbed the princess by the wrist.

"What in Zeus's name is wrong with you?" she hissed. "That wasn't part of the plan. People are going to be suspicious." She scoffed, then shook her head at Holly. "You know what? I'm out."

Quadruple Solo: Aftermath

Celena was weak. She'd taken the brunt of both a siren spell and paralyzing neurotoxins for Tayen, and it left her in the weakest state she'd been in in years. After Holly and Sarah had finally stopped singing and the toxins had worn off she had relinquished control to Tayen only to go dark in the back of her mind for the rest of the night.

Tayen wasn't prepared for any of that. She wasn't prepared for the sirens, she wasn't prepared for the toxins, and she certainly wasn't prepared for Celena to force her way into having control to protect her. She couldn't remember the last time she had done that.

The fairy woke up slowly in the infirmary. She sat up, looking around in panic. Where's Haylie? Is she okay? Did Celena get to her in time? Is James okay? Is Drew okay?

~

Willa hadn't been able to pick up on the fact that it was a siren spell in time to save herself. She should've noticed that they weren't normal girls when she felt herself being pulled. She should have noticed that something was off. She did notice, but too late. The shaman ended up pulled in by the spell like most everyone else.

She was the first to leave the infirmary. She was a quick healer, after all, thanks to shaman magic. She'd gone straight to her dorm to write a letter to Ananaksaq Tanana, telling her about the experience and her own failure to protect herself and the other students.

~

Harley didn't get pulled in by the spell. Must've been the demigod thing. She had, however, been pretty badly effected by the neurotoxins. It had almost seemed like she'd had some kind of adverse reaction to it. Instead of being paralyzed, her muscles kept twitching painfully. She had managed to crawl out of the dance, her muscles still twitching, and recover outside. She waited until she was almost fully back to herself before she went straight to Fairy Godmother to confess her involvement in the events that had unfolded.

It was a mystery she didn't get sent back to the Isle. She'd got off easy, maybe because she chose to own up to her mistakes. Harley was just put on house arrest in her dorm for a week and given detention for two weeks. That's much better than what Holly got.

Then the former soldier, locked inside her dorm all alone, lost her composed facade and broke down in angry tears.

~

Eira had been able to resist the siren spell, mostly because she had watched her best friend walk away from her and to the stage. What was he doing? Was he okay?

She hadn't accounted for the fact that there could be more to the chaotic performance than just the singing. The neurotoxins hit her hard, especially since she had been standing next to a few balloons before they exploded. The ice princess had lost a bit of control of her magic, freezing a patch of floor and a table next to her. Eira had panicked, and when she panicked she lost control.

She would likely be the last to wake up after the dance simply because of how hard she'd been impacted by the neurotoxins. Maybe going to the dance was a bad idea, after all...

Tayen giggled a little. "I felt like getting you something. Open it." She smiled and put the corsage on, blushing a little at the compliment.

She examined the flowers with a cute smile on her face. "Are these moonflowers?"

@asktayenbell continued from here

“Oh, thank you.”, she replied, taking a look at her date, “Your dress brings out your eyes”, she pointed out.

“Damn, I didn’t know we were doing presents. I thought those were reserved for Christmas or something. I brought this though”, she showed Tayen the corsage.

“I heard it’s a thing people do here”, she explained. She had chosen orchids which were native to Greece and moonflowers.

"Not a chance," Harley chuckled. She looked around at all the people having fun, with no idea of what was in store for them. Something inside of her almost regretted that she was also responsible for what was going to happen. She looked back at Eddie and held out a glass filled with ice. "For your face. Figured it still stung."

Closed Starter- Always There

If there was one thing Eddie wanted to do, it was to leave and to never go to a school dance again. He was hurt, upset, embarrassed, humiliated; it was one of the worst nights of his life, and that was saying a lot. Not only that, but his thoughts were completely messy, like some sort of unsolvable puzzle he couldn’t put together. So much confusion… he had really almost left. At the same time… this was still his first dance, and he wanted to try and at least finish it, even though he was almost 100% certain he was going to regret it. While couples made their way to the dance floor, he sat on a table, alone, his head in his hands. Even with the loud music, and the fact that he was hiding his eyes with his hands, he still knew that someone was standing next to him.

“Go away” he simply said.

Solo: Nobody

She tried. She really tried. She wanted to try her best to get along with Holly to a certain point, to follow the plan.

Then she saw Iris kiss Drew.

Harley knew. She knew that wouldn't happen without an outside influence.

She could feel her hair ignite. Her eyes seemed to glow a deeper red than they already were. She clenched her fists. Harley would deal with Holly and Sarah later. Right now, she needed to be there for Eddie. Although she was internally planning Holly's downfall.

Harley was very aware that she couldn't tell Fairy Godmother and keep herself out of trouble, but at this point, getting in trouble and risking losing her place as a day student was worth it. Nobody hurt her family and got away with it.

Nobody.

Holly: Homecoming style

[askharleyhades]

[askeiraofarendelle]

Eira paused, then smiled. "The Crown Princess of Arendelle would like to accept the invitation." She giggled and took the corsage. "Why wouldn't I accept? You know I absolutely adore you. Also I don't have anybody else to go with." She winked playfully, giggling.

Homecoming Dance Closed starter Aziz | Eira

Aziz took a last glance at his tuxedo, making sure it was smooth and checked Eira’s corsage, made out of crocuses, the official flowers of Arendelle and yellow lillies that symbolized frienship.

In the back of his mind, he felt like he had forgotten to do something, but he pushed the thought away. School matters were to be left for tomorow.

He knocked on the princess’s door, waiting for his childhood best friend to show up and join him to the homecoming.

"Hey.. uhm.. I was.. I was just wondering if uh... you'd like to.. be my date? To the dance?"

“I mean, yeah, I wouldn’t mind but, umm, why me? Don’t you have like a dozen other people on your wishlist?”

[askhaylie]

So are you and Tayen dating?

I don’t know, anon. We’ve only had one date so far and it ended up with her in the hospital wing. If this is how dating is like in Auradon, I’m almost not surprised that these so-called heroes cut straight to the wedding.

Harley sighed. "Dammit..." She looked around. "Fine. Fine, I'll stay on. But no more stupid crap based on a spoiled brat's temper. You'll just get us caught."

“Oh, and what, turn us in for a little harmless fun because it hurt your feelings? Newsflash, sweetie, you’re not a complacent bystander who just knew this was happening. You actually helped me set up the equipment. Turn us in, you’re turning yourself in, too. Me, personally? I’m not too worried. What would they do to you if they found out you helped orchestrate things? Bet daddy’s just dying to get his hands on you again. Don’t be stupid.”

Holly glares at her, crossing her arms, but her tone is so calm it’s almost icy.
