7 visit from Auradon

While Scott and Mal are enjoying their time alone on the Isle Evie finds a letter Mal left her, explaining that she went to the Isle to clear her head.

"Oh no, I better tell Scott and Ben." Evie says saddened by her friend's disappearance.

When she goes to Scott's room, she finds it locked with a sign hanging on the door saying, 'Out for a while'.

"Did he go with her? I really hope so at least that way she'll be safe." Evie asks herself while she heads for his brothers' office.

"Ben?" Evie asks, sticking her head in his office.

"Evie, come in."Ben says ending his phone call.

"Ben, did you see Scott today?" Evie asks.

"No why?" Ben answers.

"I guess that's good news at least. Mal went to the Isle, I think Scott went with her." Evie informs him.

"What, why would she do that?" Ben asks shocked.

"We both know why." Evie remarks.

"This is all my fault, I shouldn't have confessed to her." Ben says slumping down in his chair with a defeated expression.

"What are we going to do? I mean she is safe at least if Scott went with her but ..." Evie says.

"I have to go to the Isle and apologize. To both of them." Ben says, feeling responsible for Mal taking off.

"Ben you can't. You don't know anything about the Isle, you wouldn't find her and only get yourself into trouble." Evie warns him.

"But I have to." He tells her decisively.

"But at least you won't be going alone, the rest of the vk will come with. Just promise that no matter how it plays out with Mal you will bring me back to Auradon" Evie says.

"Deal." Ben accepts.

That night the group of four take Ben's limousine to the Isle and the three vks instruct Ben how to behave while he's on the Isle so he won't immediately be recognized as someone from Auradon and gets his ass handed to him.

"Alright, I think I can blend in now." Ben says after receiving his lesson but moments later he bumps into Gil, who recognizes the group while they flee in hopes of avoiding being found out.

"Guys, where are we going?" Ben asks the former Isle residents.

"We're bringing you to our old hideout." Jay tells him and throws a rock at the sign saying, 'careful flying rocks'.

Hitting the sign causes stairs to drop down to the ground, granting them entry.

"I think I should go alone." Ben tells them.

"No, we're in this all together." Carlos protests, so the three vks follow Ben into their old place.

When they step into the living room they see Mal, in her usual attire and purple straight hair drawing something in her sketchbook.

"Mal?" Ben asks aloud, announcing his presence.

"What are you doing here?" She asks the group perplexed.

"We are worried about you. You took off without telling anyone." Jay answers.

"Still why'd you come. I am doing just fine back here, without having to pretend to be someone else." Mal tells them.

"Mal, please stop this nonsense and come back with us." Ben says.

"Why? Can't you just leave me be?" She asks them annoyed, putting down her sketchbook and looking at them with annoyance.

"Don't you see this is not the way? Staying here alone and throwing away everything you've accomplished in Auradon." Ben tells her.

"I need a break from it all. All the pretending, everyone telling me to get together with you instead of Scott and who said I was alone?" Mal shouts.

"Where is Scott anyways?" Evie asks, having not seen a sign of their friend.

"He's away visiting a friend, because he listens to me when I ask him to give me some room to think." Mal informs them.

"Look Mal, we just don't want you to do something you will regret. You worked so hard to get the people of Auradon to see us as more than villain kids." Carlos tells her.

"And what has that gotten me? Problems with the person I truly love with all my heart and no room for me to breathe." Mal says tired of it all.

"Mal..." Ben says but she cuts him off, telling him, "Save it. You're the worst one of all, confessing to me so I'd go out with you instead of Scott."

As if on cue Scott arrives behind the group from Auradon.

"Oh, hey guys." He greets them, walking past them and Mal while carrying Fenrir under his arm and setting him down on a rundown couch standing in the room's edge.

"Scott, am I glad tod see you. Man, I'm sorry. I didn't know things between you two had gotten so serious." Ben tells him apologetically.

"Just be glad you are my brother. Otherwise it'd have send you to the hospital at the very least." Scott says harshly while walking over to Mal and putting his arm around her protectively.

"And I wouldn't blame you, but you have to come to your senses you two." Ben tells them, getting frustrated with their stubbornness.

"Mal, is this really what you want? To be away from us?" Evie asks her best friend in a sorrowful tone.

"No Evie of course not, but I don't know if I'm ready to face all of Auradon yet." Mal replies, meeting the girl in the middle of the room.

"Hey Carlos, there is someone I want you to meet." Scott tells thr white-haired boy and walks over to Fenrir who's lying on the couch.

"Carlos, meet Fenrir, Fenrir this is Carlos." Scott introduces the two to each other.

"How'd you get a dog here? Wait, Fenrir as in doomsday Fenrir?" Carlos asks while petting the wolf and suddenly freezes at the realization.

"Yeah but don't worry he's pretty harmless like that." Scott tells him, scratching Fenrir under the chin who says, "Hey that was privileged information."

"That dog just talked too?" Jay asks shocked.

"Why too?" Scott asks.

"Dude ate a truth gummy, don't ask." Carlos informs him.

"I am no dog! I am a wolf!" Fenrir growls at them, readying himself to attack.

"Chill." Scott tells him and Fenrir lies back down on the couch.

"Come on Mal, believe me I don't want you to ostracize yourself." Ben says, going over to the two girls, waiting until they let go of each other.

"Ben, all of you please just go." Mal tells them, going into her room, followed by Fenrir who went as well after seeing the look Scott gives him.

"Guys, look she's save here with me, so the best thing you can do is go back to Auradon and give her some time to process." Scott tells them, crossing his arms.

"I want to stay here in case she needs me." Evie says disappointed.

"Evie, you heard her. She wants some space from everyone." Scott tells her, patting her shoulder.

"Other than you, you mean." Ben says accusingly.

"Seriously Ben, you're not helping yourself right now. Drop your crush on my girlfriend or the next time I see you it won't end with talking." Scott warns Ben, shifting his hands into claws.

"Alright I'm leaving. This is pointless." Ben says annoyed.

"Mal, I'm leaving. When you're ready to come back, Auradon will welcome you with open arms." Ben shouts for Mal to hear and leaves the hideout.

"Scott, can't we just talk to her?" Carlos asks hopeful that Scott will let them pass now that his brother left.

"Mal, Ben's gone. If you want to talk to the crew in private now's the time." Scott tells her, waiting at her door and moments later Mal steps out of her room.

"I'll give you some space." Scott says and takes Fenrir, putting him on his shoulder and leaves by jumping through a window.

"He hasn't changed much it seems." Jay says amused, because Scott used to use the same window as entry and exit point when they were still trapped on the Isle.

"No, he hasn't. I have and I don't like me." Mal agrees.

"Mal, don't be too hard on yourself, we all know you put up a front to take some heat of the three of us. But you don't have to anymore. We can share the unwanted attention." Carlos tells her.

"Yeah, I mean it can't be that bad, just means more babes for me." Jay says cockily.

"We're behind you, whatever you want to do." Evie agrees with the two boys.

"Guys." Mal says moved by their understanding and they meet in a group hug.

"So, what do you say? How about we blow this popsicle stand and get back to Auradon?" Evie suggests.

"I don't know… Scott and I are really having a good time here all by ourselves." Mal tells them thoughtfully while she goes to the window Scott disappeared through and sees him lying on the rooftop of the neighboring building.

"Alright, just don't be too long OK?" Carlos says, starting to pull his friends with him to the exit.

"We'll come to the cotillion, deal?" Mal suggests, that they meet back at the festivities two nights from now.

"Yes, and you are simply going to love the new dress I have in mind for you." Evie says giddily, hugging her bestie before the three leave with Mal following them so she can tell Scott of her decision but once they step outside Harry is waiting for them and informs them that Uma wants to have a chat with Mal and that their pirate crew has captured Ben.

Scott, having seen them leave their hideout looks down to them and sees them talking to Hook`s son. Once they look up at him with worried expressions, he jumps off the building and makes his way towards them with Fenrir following behind him.

"What's up? You look like you saw a ghost." Scott asks.

"Uma has your brother." Mal tells him, worried he'll lose control.

"That idiot. Where is she?" Scott asks them stiffly.

"Scott, don't do anything. I'll go meet with her and find out what she actually wants." Mal tells Scott, taking his hand to calm him down.

"OK, but I'm right behind you. And if you take off your jacket as a signal, I'll come in and get you out." Scott promises her, obviously concerned that his brother is captured but is more worried about her safety than his brothers'.
