"Well, those are symptoms of a dragon's pregnancy. But that would mean-." Uma interrupted her and finished her sentence. "She is carrying Ben's baby. That could harm his reputation…" Evie immediately glanced at her with a warning look in her eyes. "You will not harm king Ben, you hear me?" Uma laughed. "Calm down, feisty. I won't. Not yet at least." Uma wiggled her eyebrows. Blue softly whispered. "She's pregnant…"

Today would be the start of their new lives. The knot in Uma's stomach grew bigger with every little tick of Harry's pocket watch. The more minutes that past, the closer the limo would come to them and their newly stolen Black Pearl to pick them up for the first day of school. It was midnight and Uma was laying in her cabin. Harry was asleep right next to her, softly snoring and with his arm around her. The whole ship was quiet, not a whisper to be heard. It seemed like everyone was soundly sleeping except for Uma. She shifted her position, careful not to wake Harry. It didn't matter. He woke up nonetheless. He opened his eyes and gazed at hers. He checked his pocket watch and scanned her face.

"Why are ya still awake?" he asked hoarsely, his voice layered with his accent.

"Yeah," she replied. Harry tightened his grip and pulled her closer.

"Come on," he murmured, lips at her ear, and Uma flushed just a bit. She threw her arm around him and snuggled into his chest.

"Do you remember when we kissed?" Harry raised his eyebrow in confusion. "Like our first kiss," she whispered, removing a strand of hair out of her face. "Not the- not the last one or any random one."

"Course darlin', ya were the prettiest little thing that night." Uma nuzzled into his shoulder. "But ye're always the prettiest little thing. Ya make me happy when skies are grey. Ye're so hot people get burned when they look." He placed a kiss on her forehead and then lifted her chin softly with his fingers until he was looking her in the eyes. "We'll be alright luv, I'm sure. So put yer worries away and sleep." Harry pulled Uma closer and went on to sleep once more. And this time the whole ship was sleeping soundly.

Gil groaned loudly when he heard his stolen alarm go off, a loud pumped beat that he had come to hate. The fastest way to ruin a song was by making it your alarm, which he had realised too late. Gil wanted to cover his head with his pillow and sleep on. He blindly reached out for the alarm clock to hit snooze but he couldn't find it. He pulled his head away from his pillow and went on to look for it. A small gasp escaped from his lips when he looked straight into Harry's blue eyes lined with a thick black eyeliner. When he discovered Harry had his alarm clock he hit him with his pillow. Harry grinned.

"Mornin' princess, time to wake up." Harry had to duck before Gil could strike him with another blow to the head with his pillow. "Breakfast's ready and it's served by a wee pretty lady." Harry said before grinning and mouthing Blue's name. Gil flushed and hit his best friend one more time. "Well, Harry dear, at least she can do her eyeliner properly," Both boys snapped their heads around to look at a grinning Desiree. "Maybe she'll be so kind to teach you." With a flip of her hair and a wink Desiree walked away. Harry grinned and hit Gil before pulling him out of his bunk. "Let's go matey, let's see her infamous eyeliner then."

Gil quickly changed into his spare shirt, because honestly there wasn't much choice. It was washed or unwashed. Then he walked through the Black Pearl to the dining room. It wasn't hard to find as he heard someone singing and others making a beat by drumming with their cutlery and he heard Harry whistling. As he opened the door he saw Uma singing while the rest was jamming with her. It didn't surprise Gil anymore. The only thing new he saw where their new clothes. He saw brighter colours, new jeans and new leather jackets with studs. Uma showed her slim figure in some tight turquoise jeans and a black shirt with the crew's symbol on it. Her famous leather jacket lay lifeless on her chair. Harry was sporting a new shirt, one which wasn't as ripped apart. Quinn, Desiree's girlfriend and daughter of the Queen of Hearts, was rocking a heart inspired jacket with matching knee high socks and a short black jumpsuit. The crew dressed in new clothes was really a sight to behold. On the Isle you were lucky if you had enough fabric to create something your size. Suddenly he noticed Blue waving him over. When he reached her she shoved him a new shirt and some jeans in his arms. She smiled apologetically as she immediately walked away and continued with giving the hungry pirates their food. Blue herself was rocking some high-waisted black jeans and a blue halter top. Her leather jacket had an octopus holding an apple on it. Her newly cut hair just reached below her chin and the blue ribbon in her hair reminded Gil of her mother's very own ribbon. She was indeed wearing some eyeliner and mascara and bright red lipstick. Blue looked like some vintage rocker girl that Gil had seen in an old magazine. Gil tore his gaze away from the girl and found a place at the table. Jonas quickly threw him some eggs and a piece of ham. He grinned at Jonas as he grabbed some bread and juice before starting a conversation with Quinn and Desiree. He talked a bit with them about the day that lay ahead of them and how they imagined that the day would go. It was just small talk but it made him feel better. Uma had stopped with singing and had started with shoving food down her throat in a rapid tempo. Quickly the room grew quiet as the pirates were eating more food than they were accustomed to. The kids they had taken with them where long gone as Auradon had taken custody of them. Gil did miss Mustafa but he understood why it was better that the state raised the kids. And they would visit anytime they wanted to. Now idea if it is allowed but it would surely happen. Every single pirate seemed lost in their thoughts and the only sound heard was Cat drinking some milk. The clock reached 8 am and the pirates moved to the deck. Gonzo was quick to point out that he heard the limo approaching. Memphis and Alyssa, the crew's newest members besides Blue and best friends, were giggling at Gonzo pointing out the obvious.

Uma was very nervous. She had heard the cars approaching as well and did a quick counting of heads. Harry, Gil, Desiree and Quinn, Jonas, Gonzo, Memphis and Alyssa, Bonny, Blue and of course herself. That are eleven pirates. Uma quickly acknowledged that they had made it, all eleven of them. They had reached Auradon and were free from their parents. Free from the hunger and free from the abuse. Free from rotten food and constant fighting. Free from fearing for their lives every single day. Uma was torn away from her touch when the cars opened and Ben came out.

"So, my dearest pirates, are you ready for your first day? I'm sure you'll like it at Auradon Prep. In a car fit a total of six persons so there are five very lucky pirates who may sit with me." The pirates softly chuckled and looked around who would volunteer. Uma stepped forward. "Harry, Gil and Blue and I will join you. And who will be the other lucky bastard? Well, Gonzo dear, this is your lucky day." Gonzo sighed but stepped near his captain nonetheless. "Let's go then!" Ben said, sounding a tad insecure. He climbed into a car and signalled the others to follow. In the car itself there wasn't a lot of space so they all sat very close in absolute silence. Ben looked like he was looking for a conversation started when Gil suddenly exclaimed: "Candy! Uma, look at those red fishies!" He quickly grabbed a handful and stuffed his mouth. "Delicious!" He said with his mouth full. Blue swatted him for talking with a mouth full and Ben seemed very surprised by that. Blue scoffed offended."What? Is the king surprised some of us have manners? I read you know. Learned etiquette from the woman who took me in. She was innocent, actually. But you royals never check that do you?" Ben blushed embarrassed and tried to save face. "We'll release her so soon as possible." Blue responded by laughing coldly. "There is no use in that anymore. She died from too little food and too many illnesses. But it's okay, I don't blame it on you personally." Ben looked shocked but was silent. "Gil, pass me some of these red fish will you?" Soon all the pirates were chewing on the candy with mixed feelings about it. Blue helped Gil secretly stuff some of the candy in his bag and took the fabric surrounding it as decoration and shoved it in her bag when Ben wasn't looking. When Uma spotted her she winked and threw the pirate captain some candy. Uma quickly flashed her a smile and then cleared her throat. "So Bennie-Boy, I hope Auradon Prep is prepared for the pirates."

The Wharf Rats quickly found out that in fact they were. As soon as they arrived the pirates were split up into two groups who would join separate classes. The feeling of panic was real as they were barely able to talk or make the groups. As soon as the two cars arrived the groups were made by who came out of which car. Uma was actually very glad to have her two best friends with her. Gonzo could be very funny or serve as a distraction and she hoped that Blue would pay attention so they'd actually pass the tests. Uma was surely not planning on paying attention herself. Ben took their group to the first class and while they were walking Harry slipped his hand in Uma's. Weirdly, they didn't see a single living soul when they walked to the class. As they enter the classroom Ben took place with his friends and left them standing there awkwardly for a moment. But that didn't last long as they quickly raised their chins and took place in the back of the class. Uma saw the Fairy Godmother and zoned out immediately. Why focus on the old bag of bones when she could focus on something much prettier? Her boyfriend was doodling right next to her, his hand softly moving across the paper. His thick untamed hair was swept back, like he had just walked along the beach. With every movement of his hand Uma could see his arm muscles move. His pale skin had some faint freckles darted across them and his rosy lips were pursed from concentrating. He sighed and moved his arm to rub a spot in his neck. He seemed very serene, his eccentric and cool part slightly tuned down to where he felt he had control. Harry was very tall and normally towered over her but he seemed to be a lot smaller when sitting. His chiselled jawline had a small scar on it, barely visible in the sunlight. His blue grey eyes were so pale and vivid that they reminded Uma of a lightning beam and electricity. Suddenly his eyes darted to hers and they locked eyes. Uma saw the few speckles of grey in there, making his eyes look like a beautiful sky. Harry smirked at her but turned back to doodling. Uma saw Gil and Gonzo joking around while Blue was writing down notes furiously in a notebook. She looked nervous and ready to jump up and fight any minute. Uma couldn't relate and went on to lean on Harry and put her head on his shoulder.

The hour quickly passed and it was time the pirates were released into the school. As soon as Uma stepped outside the classroom, chin raised, she heard whispers. She fought her way through the crowd, catching some comments on her and her friends. "Oh my gosh, do you see how she looks? She looks like she owns the damn place. I honestly can't wait to see that disappear." Uma used her shoulders to push past even more people. Where on earth were they all coming from. "Why are they so ugly? Well, atleast we won't have any competition." She felt Harry grab for her hand and she grasped his. "They are just suckers for powers. I bet you they'll fail all their tests." And those were the friendliest comments Uma heard. Suddenly she saw the rest of her crew and sped up her pace. When reunited with her crew she burst into an empty classroom.

The rest of the the first week went similary. Wherever she and her crew went they were insulted or whispered about. They were even attacked but the Auradon Kids quickly learned that you couldn't defeat the Wharf Rats, especially not when they were together. The Wharf Rats quickly found a new hangout, the roof of the school. They went there every free moment during school. Lessons went exactly the same each and every day. Most pirates were annoying each other, Uma was doodling, Harry was half asleep and Blue took notes.
