Hello again! Now that my interest with this story has been rekindled, There's probably going to be a lot more content coming soon. (Probably. You can't count on me to be that reliable.) I'll try, though! Also, I know I said that the magic stuff is coming soon, and it will! Trust me! I just have to figure out how to have Jay and Evie's manifestations happen. Any Ideas?

Oh yeah! Imaginary cookies to those of you who guessed correctly, as Mal will be a fairy, Jay is a genie, Evie is a witch/enchantress like her mother, and Carlos is a werewolf.

Anyway, hope you enjoy this next chapter! I love you all!

Lunch was, to say the least, a mess. For one thing, everyone in the cafeteria was giving them looks. Some were staring in shock, pity, or fear, while others glared on in hate or disgust.

Then there was the food. If Carlos had to guess, he'd say that this much food could probably feed the people of the Isle for at least a few weeks, if not more. They recognized some of it, like the apples and muffins, but the rest was new. Colorful plates of fruit, oddly shaped bread, something that smelled like… meat, but with other things added to it, and countless other unimaginable foods.

The VKs followed Ben to a line of people next to the food, and he instructed them each to take a tray.

"You can have whatever you'd like." Ben said as they made their way down the line, pointing at each item. "There's salads, cheeseburgers, sandwiches, some fried food I think, fruit, and some dessert for after lunch. A bit overwhelming, I know, but you'll get used to it."

"Yeah…" Evie sounded unsure, but she grabbed a salad anyway, adding a bottle of water and an apple as she went.

Mal wasn't sure what anything really was, so she took a sandwich and an apple, as she figured they were her safest options.

The boys, on the other hand, piled their plates with almost everything they could get ahold of. It was best to eat what you could. Back on the Isle, you could never be sure when your next meal would be.

After paying (which was somehow done through a computer, which Carlos thought was pretty cool), Ben took them to an empty table and told them to sit down.

They were just about to start eating when Jay spotted Audrey making her way towards them; chocolate curls bouncing and a furious look on her face.

"Bennyboo!" The princess said, stopping next to her boyfriend. "Why aren't you sitting by me?"

"Oh, I was just helping them get settled." Ben replied with a smile.

That boy is oblivious, Mal thought as she watched the conversation play out, How does he not see that bitchiness? And yet, somehow, the prince kept a smile, like he didn't see the jealous tilt of her brow.

"Well," Audrey sneered, giving Carlos and Jay a disgusted look as the two stuffed their faces, "They seem perfectly settled to me. You're my boyfriend, Ben, so you should start acting like it."

"They're new here, Audrey, and they need someone to show them around."

"Well then get someone else to do it! I'm pretty sure spending time with your girlfriend is more important than showing around a bunch of… villains."

"Look, Audrey, I know that you-"

"Um, guys?" Carlos asked suddenly, fear in his wide brown eyes. "I don't feel so great."

"What's wrong?" Ben asked, completely ignoring Audrey's offended glare as the attention was turned away from her. His face was filled with concern.

"My stomach kinda…" He gagged, standing and slapping a hand over his mouth.

"Crap." Ben stood quickly, dashing to grab a trash can and putting it in front of Carlos just in time for the boy to lose his lunch.

Evie stood from her seat next to him and started rubbing his back. "It's okay, Carlos. You're okay. You just ate too much for your body to handle. You really should've been more careful."

"Sorry." He mumbled, tears in his eyes.

"Don't worry." Ben said, setting the bin down on the ground now that Carlos was done. "It happens sometimes. Nothing to be sorry for."

"How much longer until lunch is over?" Evie asked.

"Um, a couple minutes, why?" Ben raised an eyebrow, confused.

"Jay, take him to the bathroom. Wash his hands and face. Mal and I will take care of your plates. Also, try to be less of an idiot, will you? What made you think you guys could handle that much food?"

"I don't know, I guess we just-"

"Decided to be fucking idiots and not think things through? Yeah, I thought so too. Get up and take him, now."

Nodding, Jay stood and made his way around the table, leading Carlos away. It was best not to say no to Evie when her 'Momness' was showing.

The bathroom was empty when they got there, so Jay lead Carlos to the sink and helped the shaking boy wash his hands, holding Carlos gently and with rarely shown affection. Once he was clean, he turned the younger boy around to face him and kissed him softly on the forehead as he wiped away the tears.

Carlos's eyes widened at the kiss. If this had been the Isle, someone would have seen them and ratted them out by now. Not being evil could really get you into some deep shit there.

"But, Jay, I-"

"Carlos, just this once won't kill us. Besides, I don't think anyone really cares here. It's not the same as the Isle."

"I know, but…" He fidgeted with his hands, tears deciding to make a comeback. "What if they send us back?"

They had talked about it, just the two of them, before they came over to Auradon. Maybe… maybe being good wouldn't be too horrible, you know? If it meant nicer things and better, not-rotten food. Not to mention, they never wanted to speak to their parents again, let alone be anywhere near them. They had to do the right thing, but they had no idea what the right thing was.

That's where things got difficult. If they failed, and didn't get the wand, they would be sent back right away, to face the disappointment of their parents all alone. If they succeeded, and stole the wand, they would set all of the villains lose on Auradon. Either way, It meant the villains of the Isle of the Lost would end up hurting someone, and Carlos didn't want that to happen.

"I won't let them." Jay said, tilting the younger's chin so they met eyes, "They'd have to go through me first."

"We should get back." Carlos mumbled. "Class is starting soon."

"Yeah, I guess so."

Just as they were about to reach the door, Carlos spoke up.

"And Jay?"

"Yeah?"

"Thank you." He looked down, embarrassed with all the lovey-dovey moments.

"No problem, 'Los. Someone's gotta take care of your scrawny ass."

There it is, folks! See you next time! (Also, reviews are very much appreciated, as they help me see what you guys like so far) Bye! XD
