Water and Ice- Chapter 11: Ransom

Vytyl Festival

A match where a young man with rusty red-brownish hair. And brown eyes, wearing a black tank and green jeans, and a caped draped on this right arm. Standing with three other huntsmen students against another team of four.

"And here we have Team VSTI, a team who attended Atlas Academy. Featuring their leader, a young man who led his missions into victories. Very smart and quick at his feet. Better watch out, cause he's poisonous. The one, and only, Carlos Vega!" Came to the announcement. A young Carlos then smiled and waved to the crowd. Holding a rose from his teeth.

Female students then get a glimpse. Then he turns to each of them and winks at them. Making the girls either heated from the sight of the student, or fainted. Some however, are disinterested as some regarded him as a show-off. Team RWBY watches, not that they cared as they just want to enjoy the tournament.

"What a show-off. Who does this guy think he is?" Blake complained. Disgusted of how much attention he's getting.

Carlos then spots Weiss and smirk at this opportunity to throw the rose directly at her. Making his supporters jealous. Weiss then catches it. Ruby then spoke up. "Well, Weiss. It looks like he has a thing for you." Weiss is also dismayed for the way he looked at her like he have know her. She drops the rose and walks away from the audience. "Hmph!" She stormed off.

Sometime after the match. Weiss is walking into the Amity Arena to find her friends after recuperating from the nightmare she hated most. That is when she accidently dropped her scroll. "Why, every time?" She sighed. To her shock, A hand reached to her scroll first. "Please, allow me." A male voice offers.

"Oh, thank you." Weiss replies as the man handed back her scroll. "I thought I..." She gasped when she looks up to get a good look at him. Carlos Vega. The heir to the Vega Corporation that invested in dusts, rivaling the Schnee Dust Company. "Y-you!" Weiss exclaimed.

"Pardon me, I believe we have yet to formally been introduce. Miss Schnee. I am Carlos Don Vega." He bowed in respect. "It's a pleasure." He takes her hand and attempts to kiss it. But she pulls it back.

"Um...Thanks." She said awkwardly. She has the need of running before things get too awful. "Well, I have to get going then. My team is probably worried about me." She takes her right foot to get away, but Carlos stopped her in front.

"Please stay a bit longer, mi belleza de nieve. I just wanted to speak to you."

"What is it that you want? So that you can just leave me alone." Weiss demands. That is when he pulls out a rose and holds it in front of her eyes. "The moment I saw you, I knew there is a favor I would like to ask of you."

"And what is that?" Weiss is startled when he pushed her to the walls. "What the-?! What do you think you're doing?!" Weiss yells. And saw the smirk on his face. It didn't look good to her.

"The moment I saw you, I knew we are meant to be one."

"Being one? Oh please, that was plain corny coming from you." She snarked. "And heck, I don't even know you!" She tries to push him away, but to no avail.

"What I meant to say is, I am going to make you my bride." He said. She is appalled for what he said to her. Normally she would turn down every suitor her father picked for her. "Get it in your head, Vega. Your attitude towards women is unacceptable and appalling." She refused. "And I refused to give myself up for a spoiled snob like you."

"Hey Weiss, is everything okay here?" Asked a blonde teenager with gauntlets. Yang Xiao Long. She could see what was going on. "It's fine, Yang. Just some loser who is very delusional." Weiss responded with her arms crossed. Yang then grabbed the back of his neck collar and led him away.

"Alright pal, you had enough fun for one day." Yang then drag him away. Much to her relief.

Weiss cracked her eyes open from that memory. She was about to get up from where she was lying. At the same time she felt weak from all the poison. Falling back down in some bed. She looked at her lower body to see that she is no longer wearing her huntress gear. But rather a white dress with frills at the bottom. And a silver hairpin in her hair. When she looked around, she was sitting on a bed. She is in a room, where there's a dresser. A window where she can see the ocean. She could tell she's on a yacht. "You have awaken, mi belleza de nieve." Weiss gasped to see the man she has always hated.

"Stop calling me by that creepy nickname, my name is Weiss." Weiss scorned. But he ignored that comment. "And, why am I in this dress?! It's awful!" Disgusted being changed into a dress, which reminds her of the rules she have to endure in the house.

"But you are very lovely by that furious look on the face. I hope you can forgive me after our meeting with your father." Carlos tries to kiss her hand again. But Weiss lashes out at him. Showing no interest to submit. "Could you get any more stubborn? You should appreciate that I am giving you the luxury that you deserved."

"I have no interest in living the life of luxury. Neither is the money. Whatever scheme you have here, Vega. It's never going to work. So good day." Weiss began to summon her glyph. But it was no use when it her aura flickered. And her Myrtenaster was already confiscated while she was unconscious. Darn it, he took my weapon.

"Oh, I forgot to mention, your aura somehow saved you from the poison. So you got lucky. However, at the cost of your use of semblance. As long as it is in your body, it was no use." Explained Carlos. "This way, you will honor me by paying the debt." Weiss blinked, she didn't remember anything about a debt. She knew her father has shady businesses, but never in her life she knows about a debt. But it's all connected to her father. "What debt? I don't recall agreeing to this."

"You'll see when your father gets here himself. Oh, there he is." He glanced at the doorway to see Jacques Gele. Formerly known as Jacques Schnee after being married into her mother's family. The results of her family turmoil. She no longer fearing his presence. All she ever has towards him is hate. "Weiss, how a pleasure to see you again."

"How did you get out? You're supposed to be in prison." She snarled. Having the smug on his face. The reason she put her father arrested was because years back, she found out he was running as a candidate for chairman in the council of Atlas. The only crime he committed was conspiracy with murder, by making a deal with a mad scientist, named Dr. Arthur Watts to help him win the election by having an assassin to murder supporters of his rivals to rig the votes. After winning the election, Jacques however, was busted due to having blind spots of hidden cameras.

"Is that any way to address your father?" He retorted.

"You are not my father, you're just a coward who uses his own flesh and blood as pawns." Weiss points his finger at him. Showing him no mercy for all he has done. "It's no wonder Winter left you." She huffed. But her father has other plans, he still somewhat find her useful even if he took away her inheritance. "I know you're still angry with me, but I have other plans to make your life better."

"Is this about the debt you are ordered to pay? If so, I want no part of it."

"Actually, you are part of it. You want to know the reason I was able to convince your grandfather to let me take over the company?" Weiss never want to hear about it, but she grabs the only thing they haven't taken yet. An earring her sister had gave her that also serves as a recording device, should anything happens. As her father continues to speak. He walked towards the window. While speaking to her. Having to be tired doing nothing after sitting in a cell. "You see, I have an old friend who hired me in the place in the Vega Corporation. Montero Vega. That would be Carlos' father. Do you remember him?"

"Yes, just this one time in one of our after parties." Weiss replies.

"You see, he and I go way back. When I was a lad, I have no use of living, until he offered me a place in his company. All was successful, he and I have a lot in common with. It was thanks to him that I have become the high-paid man in all of Atlas. With all the money he paid me, it was enough to convince your grandfather to let me marry your mother as a requirement to take over his company. The poor fool was so weak, he was too desperate to find someway to manage a company. He doesn't know how his daughter will survive. And that's how it all came to this." Jacques explained his story.

"That company never belonged to you to begin with. Mother was still studying back then before she can inherit the business. Grandfather only let you marry her because he was worried for her. Even if he regretted that day to put her in serious misery. At least that's what he told Winter, she was the only person to have confide in him because she never trusted you." Weiss hissed.

"Later on, Montero and I have met again, only to remind me about the debt since I already borrowed his money. Of course, I invited him to your 7th after party of the concert you sang that night. Before I have the chance to speak to him, I noticed his son Carlos taking in interest in you. But you didn't noticed. No matter if you turn him away. He's not taking no for an answer. Then it hit me an idea, why paying up the debt with money, if I can arrange you a marriage? When I told Montero about this idea, he told me that he can accept this as a payment if I can set you and Carlos to make a business joint between both of our companies. And at least he accepted. Sadly, he died in illness. Leaving the debt in his son's will."

"So you sold me out, didn't you?!" She growled. Over the past years, she never thought that her father would put her in a debt. That crosses the line when he would go this far. But far worse when he escaped. Winter would never consent this arrangement, and neither will her mother. But unwilling to voice out because of the fear he would do something to her daughters and son. "As part of the deal, after Carlos is very kind enough to let me escape from prison. And to take back the company. It's ashamed that your sister never knew of his status as she was too busy teaching her students as headmistress to the academy."

"Winter would never let something like this to happen." She snapped. But Carlos took a step closer to her. Weiss stumbled back to the dresser. He lifts her chin. "I'm afraid you don't have a choice. You see, I have already found the individual responsible for the embargo sinking. Whose surname is Vasilias." Weiss gets shaken, she refused to believe this as a weapon for the ransom. "You see, I ran into him when he came out looking for you. That fool didn't know what hit him. But somehow he figured I was right behind him, and surprisingly, he surrenders." She inquired to herself, silently for why would he turn himself in.

"Don't believe me? I'll show it to you." She pulls out his scroll that features security cameras. There he clicked on a window where it was all black and white. But there a person has arms tied between the walls. And he was bleeding badly from all the beating he has taken. There was a muscular man punching him in the stomach. When he move away from him. Weiss is terrified that the man getting lashed out was Neptune. "No, Neptune!" She whimpered. Covering her mouth. Then Carlos leans over her shoulder and whispers to her. "I'm afraid you have no choice but to accept me into your arms. If you do, then I'll spare his life by turning him to your sister. And if you refuse, then I'll have no choice but to drown him into the bottom of the seas." He then walks out the door with her father giving her a smirk. "You have one hour to decide." Carlos waves before exiting. "Feel free to roam around the boat. Just so you know, I have my security team around in case you tried to escape."

What am I going to do? I cannot let him die, Vega will kill him. Weiss then slid against the dresser in distress. Tired of all the threats that's been going on. First She and Neptune are being hunted. And now he's been held hostage as ransom for her to agree to an unwanted marriage. Back as an heiress, she can be a bit of a complaint. But this time, she has to be considerate of others. She will never forgive herself if those she cared about have died because of her. Risking herself is the only option she has to set Neptune free. For him to run and hide without her.

Neptune is in another ship. Restrained by corners of left and right by ropes tied to his wrists. His Tri-hard have also been confiscated. His head is lower from all the infliction he received by all the beating. For that, there are bruises from the upper body, to the lowest. Never in his life he had endure, aside form fighting the Grimm.

What were they planning to do to Weiss? Why do I get the feeling that this is the wrong ship? He thought. He then thought back to the time he saw the figure in the hood and mask. Something in his eyes didn't feel right to him. When he was at sword point by the enemy. Something about that guy felt familiar to me. But where is this coming from? But he has some connection to the Red Eye. Don't worry, Weiss, I'll get you out of this. He thought.

Then the ship shaken with the sound of a boom, there was an explosion imploded from somewhere near the empty room. Through the doorway, all the guards are running the same direction to the exit. The alarms blared in red. "Um, hello?!" He called, but they ignored him. The he saw water leaking from the hall. "Uh oh..." He eye-widened in fear. "Oh no...water...Anything but that!" He moves in sideways to break free from the ropes. But they were too tight, his hands started to leak blood from the rasp of the ropes. "Hey! Anyone here?! A5 least help me out with these!" But the pain stings him so much, he passed out. "Gotta get out...of here...got...to..."

Jacques and Carlos are standing behind the rails of the yacht staring at the ship where Neptune is being held. Jacques is tapping his foot. Looking at his watch for the remaining time limit for Weiss to decide to give herself up or face the consequences. Carlos still hold the trigger to wait for the decision. However, despite the choices he have given her, he is still tempted to press the button to watch the explosion. Then it was too late. Weiss have exit the door to confirm her decision.

"Alright, Vega! You win. I'll do it if you just let him-!" Weiss was interrupted by the explosion as Carlos have already triggered the bomb. To her horror, the ship was burning in flames. There are guards on lifeboats. And Neptune was an exception. "Neptune!" She screamed. Grasping through the rails in bitterness. Tears are running, but instead she has them in full hatred.

"You monsters! You'll pay for this!" Weiss lets her fury out by creating a projection of the ursa. But it failed as her aura shattered.

"Did you already forget that the poison stops your semblance from activating?" Weiss still glared at him while thinking of a way to escape. "It's no use to save him now, it looks like you're about to be mine after all." Said Carlos when he was about to step towards her. Weiss was about to make a run for it. Climbing onto the rails to jump off the ship. Regardless of the height, to save the man she have grown to care for. "What are you doing? This is suicide, and you know it." Said Jacques. Hoping to bring her into his side. But Weiss turned in defiance, and told him, "I would rather drown than to let Neptune die." And with that, she jumps off. The explosion just went on early, which gives her enough time to dive into the sea and swim to the ship. Carlos then turned to three of his guards.

"You idiots, stop her!" They went after her to prevent her from escaping. But they came to late as they were far from the spot and Weiss successfully leaps off.

Weiss then climbs into the ship using the remaining lifeboat still attached to the lever. She made it to the top of the boat, which can lead to the room where Neptune is. First, she had glanced at the weapons. Her Myrtenaster, and Neptune's Tri-hard in a laboratory. She picks them up as needed for their next fight. In a desperate speed, she comes across every room. The dining room, the lounge, nothing came in. The lower she went, the higher the water rises. The last stop, is the boiler room. There she peaked through the window. Luckily, Neptune is nearby.

Walking on water while opening the door. Dealing with the velocity of the substance. "Neptune..." Weiss spoken while rushing towards him. Moving her arms and legs through the water while it has yet to have risen. Neptune then wakes up hearing her voice. He lifts his head. He thought it was his imagination. "W-Weiss...Is that...you?" He stammered, while still enduring the bruises. Instead of focusing in the water, he focused on Weiss as she embraced him in relief. She then breaks from him and saw the scars he has. "Oh my god. What have they done to you?"

"Forget about me, and get out of here. I can't swim and you know it." Neptune refuses. But Weiss determines to escape with him. Knowing she cannot let him live in fear forever. "Stop talking like that. I am going to get you out." Said Weiss. She then unties him, while catching him before he could fall. He fully regained consciousness. "Just followed my lead, okay? I'll bet this'll be the time for me to teach you to swim." The water then rises further near the ceiling. Flowing along with Weiss and Neptune as they held onto a pipe. They know they couldn't last long if they stay there. "When I give the word, keep kicking. And don't let go of my hand." Weiss instructed. Neptune then gets a grip that he didn't have any other choice but to follow along. And puts his goggles above his eyes. "Do you trust me?" Weiss asked. And he nods.

"I do."

"Okay, take a deep breathe." Weiss told him, and they held their breathes for as long as they can. His ears then got clogged by the water. But it didn't matter to him as long as he could see with the goggles. Weiss held his hand to lead him to safety. As instructed, Neptune kicks up and down to keep moving. This is the first time he felt calm about being in the water. When they reached the higher floors again, they resurfaced from the water. They breathed after reaching the stair. They coughed when some of the water got into their mouth. But more importantly, they survived. "Are you okay?" Weiss asked.

"Yeah...Definitely." He replies.

"Good, let's get out of here." They climbed onto the stairs and reached the balcony of the ship. They reached the the last lifeboat and float away. Weiss then looks at Neptune with a stern expression. "What were you thinking?! I told you to stay behind and you nearly got killed! Do you have any idea how scared I got?!" Weiss then teared up looking at the bruised state he has. "This is all my fault, isn't it? I already dragged you into this, didn't I..." She rubbed her eyes. Feeling guilt that someone could be targeted, all because she is pinned into bounty. "I think it's best if I...stay away from you...while you get as far away as possible..." Neptune ignores her arguments, and instead pulls the back of Weiss' head close to his and kisses her. Weiss tried to pull away, but she gave in. They closed their eyes and break away to look at each other.

"Do you think I am the type to leave you behind?" He asked, but Weiss didn't answered. "That was very brave of you back there. I never thought you can take that risk. I learned today that I will no longer live in fear. I would give anything to save those I cared about. Especially you." Weiss then placed her hand on the back of his hair. "I'm just happy that you're alive. I'll never let anything happened to you either." Then a gun was pointed to Neptune's head. Which they jumped by the sudden movement. "Such a sweet moment. Too bad it's never going to last long." They looked up to see Jacques and Carlos in speedboats with a bunch of bodyguards ready to fire.

"Come along, Weiss. We have a debt to pay." Jacques said before turning to the blue-haired huntsmen. "Either it's that, or the blue-haired boy, gets it." Neptune bites back by pointing his rifle to him. "Try me, old man!" Weiss interrupts by lowering his gun to prevent Neptune from getting injured any further, as he was already punished enough as it is. "No, don't do it." Weiss pleaded quietly. Before he could protest, Weiss explained to him. "Father has made it clear that he's not going to stop until the debt is paid. I can't let him get his way to kill you." His eye widened to hear that the man standing before him was her father. Weiss secretly gives Neptune her rapier before they get caught.

"Wait a minute, you're her father?" Neptune asked. "You're supposed to be in prison."

"Isn't it obvious. The reason I have to sent my future son-in-law to capture you, because I knew my daughter would refuse to give in for a debt." Jacques explains while brushing his mustache. Neptune turned to the so-called suitor of hers. And recognized the uniform he is wearing. "Wait a minute, you're from the Atlas Military. How did you not get caught." The heir of the Vega Corporation has chuckled brushing his hair. He's not taking the situations very seriously in the name of the will his father. Neptune didn't like the fact that parents would use their sons and daughters as debts. "I don't want you around her anymore. If you dare to interfere, I won't let you off easily." Before Neptune can fight back. Weiss gets up and responded to them. "No one's dying today. Because I'll come with you." She insisted. Neptune then grabs her wrist to stop her from taking risk. "Weiss, don't do this. Are you crazy?" Neptune protests. But she pulls away and spun to him. "I have to, I cannot let anyone I cared about getting killed. It's my job as a huntress to put others first. You need to focus on finding your brother and bring him home."

"Hop on, mi belleza de nieve." He reached out his hand, and Weiss reluctantly has hers over his and got into his boat.. Neptune watches Weiss being sped away. Weiss then stared at Neptune, knowing that she might not see him anymore if nothing is done. Neptune won't forget his promise to continue searching for his brother. But he cannot let Weiss submit to her enemies either. "Weiss, I promise you. I will get you out of this!" He promised.

Love Potion

Day One

8:24 AM

This is so not worth the hundred bucks I'm getting paid to do this. I hate you Gus. I fucking hate you. Now for the serious part of this 'scientific' journal.

My name is Brian Vance. I'm seventeen years old and a junior in high school. I'm a virgin (is this really necessary Gus) and I've never been on a date in my life. The closest I got to a date was to asking my eighth grade crush on a date. She said yes, but stood me up. Who's surprised?

Gus Katsoros is the 'scientist' who concocted the 'Love Potion'. It comes in a cologne and drinkable form, supposedly helps you secrete natural pheromones to attract the opposite sex. I am one of three guys using both the cologne and the drink. I will be using the cologne and drinking one ounce of the Love Potion before I go to school, and at night will be drinking another ounce of the Love Potion before I go to bed. I'll be doing that, now.

Ugh! Gus. If you're going to label something a 'Love Potion', don't make it taste like mud. For the final product, for the love of god, add some honey or sugar. Hell, high fructose corn syrup, whatever gets the job done! Just don't. Make it taste like dirt. The cologne ain't so bad though. Smells like it tastes, which it makes a much better scent than taste. Off to school.

---

11:12 PM

Well, nothing happened. Who's fucking SHOCKED. I will keep seriously journaling but if you have to read every one of these Gus I'm going to make sure I bitch the whole time. Yes you heard me. The. Whole. Time.

Anyway, to the serious part. There seemed to be no 'pheromones' excreting from me. The most female attention I got was from the eighty nine year old half blind algebra teacher, who complimented my cologne. Ms. Valentine ain't so bad though. She's just... so old. So old.

That was it though. I'll take my dose tonight and go to bed. Ugh. Still tastes just as bad the first time.

---

Day Two

8:15 AM

Least I'm not allergic to this stuff. Although that could have gotten me out of the experiment sooner...

Nothing seems to be wrong, I don't feel sick or dizzy from two doses of the Love Potion. I'll now spritz my wrists, toss the mud potion, sorry, love potion, down the hatch and get going.

Oops. Spritzed it one time too many. According to the experiment I should've used one spritz on both wrists, but I accidentally spritzed my left wrist twice. Oh well. Now I'll just smell even more like dirt.

---

4:48 PM

I'm journaling earlier today because I think something actually worked this time! I mean. Nothing major. But something that probably you should know about, Gus.

So I chilling near the music room, don't ask why I'm not in band, when Gretchen came up to me. We'd been friends when we were in elementary school, but grew apart when we got older. She plays tuba, isn't exactly popular but she has pretty eyes. Anyway I'm off topic.

She came up to me and asked how my day was going! I was so stunned I nearly fell over. But we got to talking, and she really seemed interested in being around me. It wasn't like we made out in the library or anything, but she kept reaching for my hand. It wasn't much, but when she hurried off to her next class, I remembered something.

Gretchen kept grabbing for my left wrist. The one I spritzed twice. Gus, I'm gonna fuck with your experiment a tad and do two spritzes on each wrist from now on. If I run out, that's your own damn fault for not having extra. I'm gonna go for a jog now. If I'm gonna become a pussy magnet, might as well work out!

---

Day 5

8:21 AM

Thankfully I won't have to journal every day now. Just days with improvement.

Gus was kind and understanding, so he gave me more of the cologne to make up for me needing a higher dose. The other two guys were keeping at the same rate so it wasn’t a big deal.

There is absolutely an improvement. Like girls actually look when I pass by now! I mean, Gretchen and a few other girls are the only ones who bother to talk to me but I'm taking what I can get. Gretchen and I have really reconnected, I'm thinking about asking her on a date. She's nice. It's not like I was out to bone the popular girls anyway.

Maybe it's due to the upwards swoop of my self esteem, but I'm going out to jog more. Luckily there's a nice forest near my house, lots of jogging paths. No one to stare at the skinny, sweaty guy either.

Spritzed up, took my drink, I'm out!

---

2:32 AM

I just had seeexxx, and it felt so goooood... at least oral sex.

I feel a little guilty though. It wasn't with Gretchen. It was with Myra. She's also in the band, she's second clarinet, and we'd gotten friendly lately, but when she asked me go out for sodas I figured what the heck and said yes.

After the soda, she took me back to her house and she gave me a blowjob in her childhood treehouse.

I mean, other than the splinters I'm still picking out of my ass, it was great. Lasted absolutely no more than five minutes for me, but it was the best damn five minutes of my life so far. After I'd finished, she was ready to get going to her afternoon job but I kinda wanted to return the favor. I mean. It took a lot longer than five minutes for her, as I had noooo idea what I was doing, but I got the job done! Points for me! Probably made her late to her job though.

Honestly, there has been no downsides yet. I doubt there ever will be. I'm gonna be this new school's lady killer. And yes. I'll absolutely endorse Love Potion, Gus. Your smug ass will cash in with this.

You still gotta change the taste though man. It's awful.

---

Day 9

8:45 AM

Okay, prolonged use might have a side effect.

I'm getting the nastiest rash on my head. It's covered by my hairline, which by the way my hair's gotten thicker and I'm finally growing facial hair, but it's very uncomfortable. I had my mom look at it and she says it looks like it's irritated. It's weird, since I've only been drinking and using it on my wrists, but maybe I rubbed my head in my sleep. Mom put something on it to ease the itching but I hope it doesn't spread. Magic love potion or not no one's gonna wanna kiss a face covered in bumpy rash. At least it's not covered in pimples anymore. Another side effect, my acne's cleared up!

Still though, me and Myra have really hit it off. It's nothing serious, we chill in her room and wait for her dad to go out before we go at it like bunnies. I'm honestly petrified of accidentally knocking her up so I bought condoms. Thank god for self-checkout. It's so much fun. I'm having the time of my life with her.

If Gretchen's noticed, she doesn't care. We still chill near the music room together. I've grown to appreciate the music room now, I'm even picking up guitar lessons. Girls think music is hot, and having another way to attract them didn't hurt anybody. Gretchen's even giving me tips on how to read sheet music as I just like to strum away at what sounds nice, although she usually shuts up when I pluck the right notes- just goes all dozy on my shoulder. It's weird, but hey, whatever.

Gotta go into class now, ugh.

---

12:45 AM

This rash is killing me. Still, I promised thirty straight days with this stuff. And thirty days is what I'm gonna give it. Unless I have an asthma attack or something bullshit like that. Then I don't have to give back the money I've already blown on video games and snacks.

I would've been back sooner, but after I left Myra's house I went for a jog. A really long jog. Through the woods. It just felt so right. I lost complete track of time but I wasn't the only one out there. I got a glimpse of Carlos running past. I think he's one of the kids in the two ounce drink test group. I didn't try to start up a conversation, he was clearly a man on a mission.

When I'm out there, my head doesn't itch either. Maybe it's from something else.

---

Day 10

7:21 AM

Okay. Body hair. That's not that new.

Chest hair is though. And I think I'm starting to grow a carpet on my legs. I was pretty fair haired on the rest of my body before this whole thing started. Now I'm turning into Esau from Sunday School, the guy so hairy his brother could wear goat skin on his arms and trick his mostly blind dad into thinking it was his older son. I'm tempted to shave.

Also my feet are starting to rash too, and they keep getting that ‘falling asleep sensation’, like there’s static under your skin. It's uncomfortable to wear shoes. I'll go to school today but if it gets worse I might take a break. From school, anyway.

---

7:49 PM

My mom's went out out tonight so Myra came over here instead... and by came, I mean literally came. We had a blast. She doesn't seem to mind the hair either even if it has come in a little fast. She keeps threatening to wax it though. No way in hell.

She also brought up a threesome, with me and Gretchen. Oh yeah, they both know I'm sleeping with her. Apparently Myra's been impressed with what she's taught me in the few days I've boned her. A few more 'lessons' and she'll let me loose with Gretchen.

This is insane.

Almost too insane.

I'm a little overwhelmed. I might cut out of this project early and somehow pay you back later Gus. I don't know how I feel about all this female attention. It's a lot to take in. Also I don't fancy being mistaken for Bigfoot's little brother Smallfeet when I walk into school and I'm just that hairy.

---

Day 13

2:21 PM

I didn't think about journaling this morning but I am now. I think something's going wrong.

When I went into the bathroom, I got a glimpse in the mirror of where the rash on my head was and I saw something. I took a better look, felt around, and it looks like two giant ass warts are starting to sprout. I hate warts.

But I also hate the idea of losing my feet a lot more.

One of the guys that picked on me since freshman year, Barry, stomped on my right foot. Right on the toes. Normally this would send me howling in pain while he would laugh his ass off.

Nothing. I felt nothing. And he jumped on it, full force. I felt something crack, but I didn’t feel it. I ran into the bathroom again and took off my shoe.

I can't move the toes on my right foot. The skin’s gone gray with blotches of purple. And my left foot's growing pretty stiff too. I'm pretty sure Barry broke my toes given how crooked they are but they're so cold. I'm freaked the fuck out.

But also really nervous to tell my mom this might be because I'm taking a chemical to help me get laid. I would be absolutely grounded. So grounded. And of course, I'd veto my hundred dollars, which like I said- already long spent.

I'll probably skip school until my feet stop dying. Also reduce how much of the drink I'm taking. Half ounce only.

---

1:12 AM

Barry came to my house, demanding to know what was up. He looked scared shitless.

Guess who else was in the experiment and didn't tell anyone? That's right. Half the jocks on the football team. Gus isn't popular but he's a great salesman. Once the Love Potion started to turn shit around for me and the other guys, Gus got to selling. Guys were handing over so much cash for a chance to get more pussy.

But Barry wasn't attracting pussy. He was attracting dick.

Should've seen that one coming a mile away, the hyper masculine asshole turning out to be gay. Didn't bother me, we all got our quirks. But that's the thing, Gus promised that the drug would attract the opposite sex. A specific set of hormones probably wouldn't work on the same sex, he figured. He was not THAT stupid.

And apparently I was one of Gus' 'success stories'.

Barry demanded to know what else was going on with me, or he'd crush me like a bug. So I coughed it up in self-preservation. My feet. My head. The rashes. The urge to jog in the forest every night and the inclination to be near music. And guess what, Barry didn't freak out on me. He admitted to the same damn thing. Also the fact he was a tone deaf and now could sing bass like a star.

Barry's thrown out all his shit in the toilet and scrubbed his neck so hard he's taken skin off. Apparently that's where he put on the cologne. I let him take the couch, texted mom telling her that he was a friend that came over for some help. Mom's a sweetheart. She'll understand.

This isn't right. I'm stopping taking whatever's been given me now, it’s gone down the toilet with Barry’s supply. Fuck you Gus. Fuck you so much.

---

Day 15

1:11 PM

I think it was too late for us.

Barry's got the rash now, despite insisting he's stopped everything. Everything he had of Love Potion, not even a spritz of the cologne. He keeps complaining of the itching.

Oh. And half my fucking foot fell off.

I was in the bathroom, meeting up with Barry (nothing gay, he just wanted to talk) and I leaned too much on one side apparently. We both heard a snap and suddenly I had no more balance. I fell to the floor.

I ripped off my shoe and the front of my foot fell out. It had turned entirely dark purple and felt like dry clay. Barry screamed like a girl and threw up in the sink. My foot reeks, at least what's left of it. But I'm more concerned that I think I have hooves now.

Yeah. You heard me Gus. HOOVES. The bone that led to my ankle is all wrong shaped, split in two and is turning a coppery brown. The flesh around my heel is already peeling away and I feel sick just looking at it. Judging by the condition of the other foot, it's gonna go real quick here too.

I claimed I threw up and went home. Barry actually followed me, wonder if he's got some sort of crush on me. He's probably too grossed out to try anything though. Seeing half a man's foot just fall off probably kills the mood.

I don't know what to do. I still have the half of my foot, I'm keeping it in my dresser. Still trying to find you, Gus, but apparently you've faded off the face of the earth. Barry's vowed to tear your head off the moment he gets his hand on you.

Meanwhile, I think I just figured out what the things on my head are.

Horns. I'm growing horns.

Day 19

Barry refuses to leave my house. He's scared. I've played hooky since the last entry, staying home and playing video games. I'm super hairy now, a walking carpet is an understatement. I'm only bothering to shave my face, going after the rest of the mess is just too much.

Okay. I wasn't gonna put this down because I thought it was just my imagination, but... my penis is bigger. By at least three inches. No I'm not kidding Gus. Normally I'd think this was a great addition to my bod. But no. It's not. It's fucking not.

My other foot's gone and I'm having to relearn my center of balance. It's not as hard as I thought it was gonna be. It's rough though. I keep falling over and I think my mom's catching on that something's not right with me. Especially with the hopskip way I keep walking.

I think the horns are ready to split free. I feel them now, they're bony nubs that are giving me the worst migraines. The only thing that soothes my pain is playing my guitar and hearing Barry sing. Because damn that boy can sing.

I love music. But it’s of little comfort now.

---

Day 25

I ran away from home.

Gretchen came to check on me. (Myra hasn’t so much as sent a text by the way.) She knew I'd been missing classes, and when I didn't answer the door, she got worried and entered the house.

She found me at the worst time possible. When my horns were finishing their development. I was trying to get to the bathroom to get some more painkillers when the most excruciating pain I'd ever felt in my life filled my entire head. I screamed and hit the floor, curling up into a little ball. I hadn't even gotten fully dressed yet, a shag carpet with hooves and slowly sprouting horns.

I woke up to Gretchen screaming at the sight of me. I slowly sat up and when she saw my face she realized it was me.

Her face went white. She looked like she didn’t know what to be more shocked about. The fact that there was a man with horns and a small furry tail, or the fact that it was me, right there. Sitting in front of her. More animal than man.

I tried to talk to her. Tried to reach for her. But when she ran from the house, I couldn't just let her go.

So she's with me and Barry now.

We stole my mom's car, I took all the money from her bank account that I could, and we're driving now. Just driving. Gretchen's tied up in the backseat, Barry's keeping her still.

I don't know what to do anymore. But I need Gretchen. Need her. I can't explain why either. Maybe I'll know when I get to our destination.

---

Day 30

This would've been the final day of the test.

I'm done transforming. Barry's about through the final stretch himself, it's just the horns left. All the others managed to catch up to us. We're hiding out in one of the national parks, not telling you which. All in various stages of development. Gus really went all out, hitting every clique he could before pulling his disappearing act.

We're freaks now. All of us. They're gonna look for us, but they won't find us. Or they'll wish they hadn't. We have powers now. With our instruments and voices, we can hypnotize anyone to our bidding. Least it means we don't have to tie up Gretchen now. She's staying here whether she likes it or not.

For now, we wait. For the hype to die down. For people to forget the missing teenagers from our highschool.

I don't think you knew this would happen to us. But I really don't care. I'm sending this journal to your last known address, Gus. You can run, but you can't hide. We'll find you.

We just want to give you a head's start knowing what we'll do to you once we get our hands on you.

OOC-IC - Answering some Descendants Questions...

So... I stumbled across this article called 81 burning questions inspired by Disney’s Descendants. I read through them, and it’s made me very clear that the person who wrote this was determined to make the show as campy, unprofessional, and sloppy as it possibly could in a very Buzzfeed way. They clearly hadn’t read the book Isle of the Lost, which was released right about the same time as the movie, nor did they really seem to care that much about paying attention to movie.

So, in an effort to blow off some steam, I’m going to let Mal answer those 81 questions, since most of them do pertain to logistics of the film and not behind the scenes stuffs.

Here goes! Check under the cut if you’d like to read! Warning, it’s going to be long!

What exactly is Descendants?

It’s... it’s a movie... about the descendants of all the most famous Disney characters ever.... I thought the title was actually kind of obvious.

Our main quartet — Maleficent's daughter, Mal; the Evil Queen's daughter, Evie; Jafar's son, Jay; and Cruella's son, Carlos — all come from evil stock. But each of them only seems to have one parent; the mothers/fathers who aren't classic Disney villains never merit so much as a mention. Why is that?

Okay, I’ll give you that one. There’s really not much information out there, whatsoever, about villain parents whatsoever. The books do give some details, but even then, it’s not much. Cruella apparently freaks out on Carlos any time he even tries to mention his father, and Maleficent hates her ex-lover (best description I can think of him) because he’s human and Mal will always remind her of her weakest moment. But that’s pretty much it for the details.

Do the movie's four main characters even have two parents apiece?

Like stated above, there is a second parent, but they’re not in their lives. Apparently, it’s not that common to have a married family in the Isle.

Do Disney villains reproduce asexually?

Do you reproduce asexually? No? There’s your answer.

Maybe through mitosis?

Seriously? Three separate questions for the same question? Okay... then. Yes, the missing parent is not present, but there is another parent. They have kids the same way as everyone else... they’re just more dysfunctional.

Another head-scratcher: The first good kid we meet is Ben (Mitchell Hope), son of Beauty and the Beast. He's a prince, which makes sense; he's apparently about to be promoted, which doesn't. Why is Ben going to be crowned king at the end of the movie when he's only 16 years old, and both of his parents are clearly still alive?

Okay, this is probably the only completely valid point that you have in this. There’s no real rhyme or reason as to why Ben is taking over when he’s sixteen. The official reason is that Beast and Belle want more time with each other. My guess? They couldn’t be bothered anymore.

Did the Beast abdicate his throne for some reason?

... look above.

To spend more time with his birds?

Birds? I’m pretty sure that was Snow White and Sleeping Beauty’s shtick. And, really, shouldn’t you be moving on from that question?

What's Beast's real name, anyway? (Don't say Adam.)

I’m pretty sure it’s Adam. That being said, Classic Beauty and the Beast didn’t mention a name for him, and it was released before the new one came out, so they didn’t have a name to go with. I’m assuming that’s why he goes by Beast.

Is it Rumplestiltskin?

No, that’s Once Upon a Time.

Wait — why does Belle look familiar?

I’m pretty sure from Once Upon a Time.

Ahh, it's because she's played by Keegan Connor Tracy, who plays the Blue Fairy on Once Upon a Time! Didn't Disney realize how confusing that'd be?

Did you get confused by Live and Maddie being Mal? Or an X-Man being Jay? Or an Adventures in Babysitting babysitter being Evie? Do you get confused every single time you see an actor that you’ve seen in one movie be in a different movie? Or are you saying that she isn’t allowed to play more than one recognizable Disney character because Disney viewers aren’t smart enough to tell the difference between OUAT fandom and Descendants fandom? Because, if that’s what you’re saying, that’s incredibly insulting.

Maleficent isn't British. Why is Kristin Chenoweth pretending to be?

Uh... she wasn’t. Kristin Chenoweth was being crazy and over the top like most of her roles. Still a better performance than Angelina Jolie’s. Ultimately, I’m guessing the reason stated below if you’re incessant.

Why did Angelina Jolie do that in Maleficent, for that matter?

There’s a lot in that movie that I’d like to complain about. But isn’t it a little rude of you to be complaining about a different movie in all of this? It’s not Descendants’ fault that Maleficient did that in that movie.

Is... is that Kathy Najimy as the Evil Queen? (Spoiler: It is.)

You felt the need to ask something that you completely knew in this?

Why is Carlos — again, son of Cruella "I live for furs, I worship furs" de Vil — afraid of dogs?

Maybe because of the 101 Dalmations movie that has the puppies literally turn her into a cupcake? Cruella is completely unhinged, too. In the book, she uses a whole room filled to the brim in bear traps to protect a closet of fur coats. And you find the fact that Carlos is scared of dogs bad?

Shouldn't he be into dogs?

This isn’t 81 questions. This is like 60 questions at the rate you’re going. And It’s kind of getting annoying.

Like, a little too into dogs?

Make it a lot annoying.

Jafar doesn't want his Jay to go to Auradon: "I need him to stock the shelves in my store." So... Agrabah's Grand Vizier is running a bodega now?

Well, he was stripped of his title when he was caught and sent to the Isle. It’s not like he can be the Grand Vizier anymore. No one on the Isle have their old title. So he had to do something to get the so-called money he is so obsessed with, didn’t he?

Should that make me feel uncomfortable?

Everything on the Isle should make you feel uncomfortable. The fact that it’s just that is a little concerning.

What about the snake charmer musical sting that plays every time he's onscreen?

Well, Jafar had been a snake briefly while he was a genie. That and... his staff was a cobra.

Also, wait, Jay's a thief?

Yep. Though, to be fair, most of the inhabitants of the Isle are thieves.

So ... he's Aladdin?

Sure. He’s the best Aladdin in a city of Aladdins, if that would help you understand it better.

How does that make sense?

He’s not actually Aladdin. He’s conformed himself to doing what his father wants, which is providing inventory for his shop so he can get the so-called money that he covets. Jay’s just really, really good at his job.

And according to the Aladdin Cinematic Universe's continuity, shouldn't Jafar actually be a genie and/or dead right now?

Yeah... some of them were actually brought back to life just to be stuck on the Isle. Talk about a fate worse than death, right?

Maleficent and the Evil Queen should be dead too, right?

They were some of them that were revived to bring onto the Island.

And shouldn't Cruella not be here at all, since her story takes place in 1950s-era London instead of a made-up kingdom?

Then Belle and Beast shouldn’t be there, since they’re 1600′s France, and Snow White shouldn’t be there because 1500′s Germany, and Mulan shouldn’t be there because... whatever era Chinese history her legend comes from. If they stuck with just the people with super similar timelines, they really wouldn’t have many people to work with whatsoever. They’re hardly the first film that has taken liberties with their own canon to fit their own needs.

Is it stupid to split hairs about a movie made for children?

Yes. I hardly see why you wasted a question for that.

Should I be ashamed of myself right now?

Again, yes.

Whoa whoa whoa, THEY HAVE CARS in this mystical fantasy land, where it's supposedly been 20 years since the events of Beauty and the Beast?

Again, liberties. In one of the books, they mention that Maleficent used a spell to make the microwave stop being broken before being sent to the Isle 20 years ago. You know, it might be easier to think of this story as it happening in the 1980′s and 90′s when the Isle was being formed, and they’ve moved up to now.

And cell phones?

Now has cell phones. Descendants take place in a fantastical world similar, but not quite, our world. Of course they’d have cell phones. Like you said, it’s a movie meant for kids. Kids don’t know a life without phones.

And video games???

Welcome to the 21st Century.

What... how... why??

Well... the answer that I’m sure you’re looking for is that the great scientists and the great magic wielders of the newly-formed Auradon somehow found a way to mix both fields into the technology-based world that we have today.

If the whole movie hinges on Beauty, then where the hell is Gaston?

Well, going based on the original Beauty and the Beast movie, dead. But, like I said before, some villains were actually resurrected to be put on the Isle. Oh, he’s there. In The Isle of the Lost, we meet some of his kids, and in Rise of the Isle of the Lost, we meet him... albeit very briefly.

Did they create the Isle of the Lost set out of salvage from Newsies on Broadway and the 2005 Rent movie?

You say that like it’s a bad thing.

The kids go nuts when they find that the limo taking them to Auradon is stocked with candy, which they've never tasted before. There's no sugar on the Isle of the Lost?

Okay, so I suppose it’s taken you long enough to ask about the logistics of the Isle. Basically, the Isle is Auradon’s dumster. It’s the Isle of the Leftovers. They get all of the trash that Auradon throws out. Everything from week-old coffee to flat pillows to over-ripe bananas to cracked mirrors. Candy and sugar isn’t typically sent to the dump, is it?

That's, like, the worst way Beast and Belle could think of to punish the villains who tried to murder them and all their friends?

They literally sent all the villains to live in the dump, and put up a barrier so they can’t get out. That’s pretty twisted, actually.

The Fairy Godmother is Auradon Prep's headmistress. Does she have a real name?

Nope.

Ben's girlfriend, Audrey, is the daughter of Sleeping Beauty. She points out early on that she's a princess. But what kingdom is she from, if Beast/Belle/Ben make up Auradon's royal family?

Her family doesn’t really have any power anymore. Her family are more or less governors of the kingdom they ruled before Auradon was formed. But Ben’s family still respects the titles that they had twenty years ago.

How many kingdoms are there in this universe, anyway?

One.

Do they operate as sovereign nations, or more of a loose confederacy?

Think of it as the United States of America instead of the United States of Auradon. The people in Sleeping Beauty’s kingdom can complain to Sleeping Beauty, and they can handle most things. But, if it’s important enough or bad enough, they call in the higher up, Beast... or Ben once Ben is crowned.

Did Auradon Prep mean to make the school's Beast statue look exactly like Kelsey Grammer in X-Men: The Last Stand?

What I’m pretty sure it was made to look like is what Beast from the film would look like if they Beast-ed him out. The coincidences are merely that.

How did Dopey the Dwarf have a normal-sized son?

They take after their mothers.

Why isn't Kristin Chenoweth's big number, "Don't You Wanna Be Evil," like, 50 minutes longer?

Because then it would be the movie and not just a number. Trust me, I love “Evil Like Me” (and that’s the title, not “Don’t You Wanna Be Evil”), but it wasn’t the movie “Maleficent and her Goodie-Two Shoes Daughter”. Maleficent is merely there to reinforce the fact that she’s the shadow that is putting the evil-colored glasses over Mal’s eyes.

How can we make this song as big as Idina Menzel's "Let It Go"?

Well, it already was basically a Broadway-style number. The difference is that Let it Go was about embracing yourself and all the quirks you have and Evil Like Me is about taking over the world with your mother because you’re being pressured into thinking you’re evil because of where you are and who your mother is.

Seriously though, we're just supposed to accept all the modern technology (flashlights, alarm systems, landlines) without question?

I think you’re the only one having a problem with that.

We see Auradon's guys playing a sport involving castle-shaped goals, sticks shaped like giant wooden spoons, shields, and cannons that shoot out extra balls. What ... is this?

Tourney. That’s what they call their game of choice. It’s like croquet, soccer, dodge ball, canons, and parqour all mixed in one.

Is it in the movie because Disney doesn't have the rights to Quidditch?

Possible.

When Mal meets another student, this is the first thing she says: "Hi, I'm Lonnie. My mom's Mulan." Why does everyone in the movie introduce themselves this way?

Because they stared at her with empty looks? You missed that? Okay... How about the fact that Audrey, Ben, Lonnie, Jordan, and Doug aren’t names that would automatically think Aurora, Beast, Mulan, Geanie, and Dopey by saying it. There’s only so much the costumers can do without name-tagging everything, you know.

Did the writers not trust us to understand that a movie called Disney's Descendants is about the descendants of Disney characters?

No, they knew we’d get that... though, I have to wonder if you did. What they’re assuming is that we might not immediately know which character they’re descended to, especially if they’ve went away slightly from the traditional looks. Like Audrey! Super white with brown hair father with a super white blonde haired mother, if going by the movies.

Also... Lonnie?

What about her?

They couldn't do better than taking the last syllable of Mulan's name and adding an "ie"?

And you’re not questioning Evie, who is literally “Evil Queen-il queen+ie” and Mal, who is “Maleficent-eficent”?

They couldn't even try to think of something that's actually Chinese?

Like what? Boo Boo? No, I’m pretty sure they were worried that the American kids watching it would have problems pronouncing more authentic names.

Wait, China's a fantasy kingdom now?

There’s no confirmation that Mulan was actually a real person. The movie was based on The Legend of Mulan, and history has not been able confirm the validity of that legend. So the China of that land would be a fictionalized version. But don’t worry, it’s not actually China in Auradon. Mulan is from Northern Wei in Auradon.

Mal's special power is turning lobs into long, curly princess hair?

I wouldn’t say special power. I’d say trademark. Remember, she only got her magic when she left the Isle. She has to work up to the big stuff, and that’s assuming she decides to use it at all.

Seriously?

I imagine Mal will be slinging spells around like the best of them in no time.

Why doesn't Jay pull back his hair when he plays sports?

Because he doesn’t feel like it? Why does it matter how he prefers to wear his hair? Maybe he didn’t like the feeling of having his hair pulled back underneath the helmet.

Mal decides to use a certain love spell from her magic book because it "got the best reviews." Where?

They were raised on the Isle of the Lost, where everyone’s a villain, and you can bet your life that someone other than her mother has done a love spell before. In the books, Evie has a spellbook, too. Perhaps they shared some notes?

Wizard Yelp?

What is this, Wizards of Waverly Place’s Wizard Underwear?

Merlin's List?

That wouldn’t be too bad a name.

Rotten ToMagic?

That’s just stupid.

Jay: "You all going to the tourney game tonight?" What's the name of the game?

Tourney. I believe we’ve been over this.

Ben: "I don't eat before a big game." WHAT IS THE GAME CALLED?

Tourney...

Evie discovers that she's actually good at chemistry: "For the first time," she says, "it's like I'm more than just a pretty face." But when did she start studying and stop cheating off her magic mirror?

She’s been studying the labels of makeups since before she could speak, and she was castle-schooled. She couldn’t use her Magic Mirror in the Isle. Why are you so sure that she was an idiot?

Mal tells Ben that her middle name is Bertha. Does this mean she has a last name, too?

Surely, but it’s not important.

How can you have a middle name without a last name?

She doesn’t... the surname just isn’t important to the plot.

Is her last name hiding out with Gaston and whoever Mal's dad might be?

Uh... are you an idiot or were you dropped repeatedly on your head as an infant?

Mal has never eaten a strawberry before — but we saw the Core Four stealing apples during their big opening number. So the Island has some kinds of fruit, but not others?

Bruised, old, rejected apples. Like stated above, the Isle got what the people of Auradon didn’t want. Bruised and nearly too-old apples are something that would have been thrown out. Fresh strawberries are typically eaten right away, aren’t they?

Who made that call?

The same people who made the decision to force all of the villains onto the dump.

Is the "fancy rock" (a.k.a. piece of plastic) Ben fetches for Mal made of the same material Once Upon a Time uses for its glowing plastic hearts?

I’m pretty sure OUAT has a higher production budget as a whole than Descendants had, so... unlikely.

Evil Queen: "You know what they say — the poisoned apple doesn't fall far from the tree." Maleficent: "Don't you mean the weeds?" Why would she mean that, Maleficent?

I’m not really sure, but maybe where the apple falls to?

"The poisoned apple doesn't fall far from the weeds?"

Where it lands after falling?

What would that even mean?

I’m pretty sure this has less to do with what was said and more to do with the rivalry between Maleficent and Evil Queen that had been going on for the last twenty years.

Are ... are they doing a hip-hop remix of "Be Our Guest?"

Yeah, they put their own little mix into it.

Are they rapping the second verse?

Yep.

Why?

Maybe because they thought that people might be bored if it is exactly the same way as the one that’s over twenty years old now?

Why, especially, would the singers include the line about "my fellow candlesticks" and "after all, miss, this is France!" if there are no candlesticks around and we're clearly not in France?

And how would you have changed it without it sounding stupid?

Does the movie think we're going to forget who Belle is if she ever wears something that isn't yellow?

Well... the only times that we see her is during public events or right after she’s left a public event. Like every character, she’s been stylized. The only difference is that she has only one ‘public event’ outfit.

So when do these recast bad guys get to tell their side of the story? If they never do, then aren't these misunderstood villain chronicles delivering the very same message as the tales they're supposedly turning upside down? Or could it be that these terms have become essentially meaningless — that "good" and "evil" are merely matters of perception, determined not by morality but by whoever happens to be talking the loudest?

Here’s the thing, although we as the audience haven’t heard Descendants-fandom villains’ point of views, you can bet everything that their children heard it. Which means that they’ve heard both sides of the story and have decided that their own parents are still the unredeemable people, though Maleficent does get a chance at the end to redeem herself. If she can grow to love, she could stand a chance of turning out of lizard form.

Is this closing song a rejected High School Musical B-side?

I’m pretty sure Descendants was meant to be the new era High School Musical from the very start. But I don’t think that it means that it’s worse or anything.

Disney's gonna make a hundred more Descendants movies, isn't it?

If they do it well, then what’s wrong with that?
