Hi guys!

I hope you like this short one-shot I wrote. I absolutely LOVE Descendants, and I am so in love with Carlos and Jay.

Enjoy!

Jay and Carlos walked over to where Chad was standing in front of Ben and Mal, clearly agitated.

"They were raised by their parents, Ben. What do you think villains teach their kids? Kindness? Fair play? No way, okay?" Chad said, and turned to glare at Mal, "You stole another girl's boyfriend."

"Hey." Ben exclaimed, stepping in front of Mal. Jay stepped forward as well, but Evie placed a hand on his arm.

"You, enjoy hurting people." Chad said next, pointing at Jay. He looked down, and Evie moved her hand to take his, and looked up as Chad looked at her, "You're nothing but a gold-digger, and a cheater. And your little black and white friend over there is probably just waiting for his mother so that he can turn that dog into a coat, and live up to her expectations as her little devil." Evie's fair face tensed as she held up her small mirror. Carlos jerked back as if he had been his.

"Mirror, mirror, in my hand. Who's the biggest jerk in the land?" she asked, and showed the glass to Chad, who looked in to see his own reflection. He scoffed, and pushed Evie's arm away from him. Jay stepped forward, and grabbed Chad's jacket.

"Don't you dare touch my sister." He growled. This made everyone's attention turn to Evie, who had tears in her eyes.

"There's a reason the four of us are always together." Carlos said with a glare, holding Dude in his arms. Mal stepped away from Ben, and faced Audrey's grandmother.

"You missed your daughter's first words and steps? When Jay took his first steps, his father forced him to work in his shop as soon as possible. Evie's mother was paying attention to her reflection, Carlos' immediately began to drum into his mind how evil dogs were, and creating a terrible fear for them. When I took my first steps, my mother saw me, and pushed me right back down onto the floor. She didn't want me to rebel early in my life." Mal said, and Ben stared at his girlfriend and friends in shock. Evie came up to stand next to Mal, linking their arms.

"When I said my first words, my mother was talking over me. Jay's father told him to go out and use his words to steal. Carlos' mother didn't even care, and Mal's mom told her to shut her mouth." Evie said, her voice beginning to shake. Jay and Carlos looked at each other.

"You ask what it's like to live on the Island." Jay said, standing behind the girls.

"We don't live." Carlos continued, "We survive. We steal what we can, hope it's enough to make our parents happy, at least, happy enough to give us attention." Evie breathed deeply, as she turned to face Chad.

"You say I'm a gold digger, and a cheater. My mother has always told me, every day for my entire life, that I will never be anything more than a pretty face. That my brain was nothing, and that I would never be able to find anyone who loved me if I used my brain." Evie said, and a tear leaked from the corner of her eye. Carlos hugged the daughter of the Evil Queen from behind, around her waist comfortingly.

"None of you would ever last a day on the Island. The four of us have stuck together since we were born. And not just because we share the same birthdays." Mal said, and Evie gave a small smile, "If we don't do what our parents wish, they aren't happy. And when our parents aren't happy, they…" Jay noticed the way that Mal's shoulders tensed as she spoke, and he put his hands on both of them, squeezing gently.

"You don't want to know." He said quietly. Carlos clenched his fists, and glared at Chad.

"You said that I was waiting for my mother to turn Dude into a coat. That I would be her little devil, as you called me." He began, and Evie gasped, and the other three villains looked at their friend sharply. "My mother hates me. She doesn't give a damn about me, and could care less if I died." Carlos knelt, and began to roll up his pant leg, but Mal put a hand on his shoulder.

"Carlos, you don't have to do this." She said, and Carlos shook his head. Memories flooded his mind, of when they went to retrieve the Dragon's Eye, and Carlos had to confess. He rolled up his pants, and there were many sharp gasps at the scars on his leg.

"When I was a kid, I got trapped in my mother's fur closet, where she also happened to keep her fur traps. My leg got caught in one, and I was in that closet for hours, bleeding, and when my mother got home, and opened the closet, she didn't care about me. She began screaming at me for getting blood on her 'one true loves'." Carlos said bitterly, and Chad actually had the decency to look slightly ashamed. "I didn't find an actual family until I met these three." Carlos sent the others a small smile, and stood.

"Mal and I had been friends since we were kids." Jay said, nudging Mal, who smirked. "Although we wouldn't admit it, we were as close as siblings." Evie took Carlos' hand.

"Me and Carlos met during our first year of schooling in high school. We've been best friends ever since, and when we met Mal and Jay, we all hated each other at first, but then, after hanging out, we became the best of friends." Evie said. Mal shook her head.

"Our parents aren't excusable for their actions. But that's what our generation is about. Mending what our parents destroyed." She said softly, and her friends nodded.

"What our parents did to their enemies is nothing compared to what they're going to do to us if we can't…" Evie began, but as she did, her voice broke. Tears began to fall down her face, and she turned, burying her face in Carlos' chest. The son of Cruella Deville wrapped his arms around Evie, and hugged her tightly.

"You won't actually do it, right?" Ben asked, and the four teens looked at the prince in shock.

"You knew?" Mal asked quietly, and Ben nodded.

"My room's right next to Carlos' and Jay's. I overheard you guys talking last night. You guys aren't your parents. You don't have to do it. They can't reach you here." He said, taking Mal's hand. She gave him a small smile, and turned to Audrey and her grandmother, who were watching them with anger, and fear.

"My mother, even if she wasn't invited to the christening, had no right to curse your mom. It wasn't fair, and I apologize on her behalf." Mal said, and many people's reactions changed from anger, to shock. Carlos looked at Fairy Godmother over Evie's head, which was still buried in his chest.

"Maleficent wants your magic wand. She won't stop until she gets it. She tried to manipulate us into getting it, by telling us that we would finally be treated like equals. You have to understand. To four teens who had never been loved by their parents, this sounded amazing. We would finally have our parents. They would actually be proud of us." Carlos said sadly. Now, most expressions changed to sadness and pity. Evie pulled away with a shaky breath.

"When we came here, we all realized something." She said, and held out her hand for Ben to take. He did with a smile, and Jay took Carlos' free hand, and Mal's other hand. "We already had a family, and we just made it bigger." Mal leaned against Ben's shoulder, a small smile playing on her lips. Whatever happened next, the four teens knew that they would have each other, and the people that loved them.

Please review!

I got the idea of the whole Carlos thing from the book, Isle of the Lost. Everything that I said was canon.

You all are amazing.

Stay awesome, kings and queens!

Love,

Enchantress
