Hey guys. Welcome to my new story set in the Descendants world. It's set after the second movie, but ignores Wicked World mostly, with a few headcanons thrown in. :)

I've also thrown in characters from a DCOM I really liked, for plot purposes ;) And not all the Heroes and Heroines will have children, some will be appearing themselves in later chapters. With one or two of them even playing a big role in the plot. :)

But anyway, that's enough rambling. Here we go.

Disclaimer: I don't own Descendants or any of the Disney Movies/Characters.

Descendants – The New Girl

Chapter One:

I took a deep breath as I looked up at the familiar statue of a King. A very familiar statue. I walked up to it with a small smile, nodding to myself when I saw the plaque on the bottom of it. This was exactly who I thought it was… King Adam, of the Descendants universe. I smiled to myself, as I felt a slight tingling on both of my wrists and above my left breast. Before I could investigate, I heard a female voice say "Can I help you?" causing the tingling on my left wrist stop. I turned to see familiar faces standing there. Mal stood there, with wavy purple hair. And wearing her purple jacket. "I have to say, purple really suits you." I said, with a smile. "It's so much better than the blonde." She just smirked, before saying "So you know who I am."

"Of course." I said, with a smile. "You're Mal, the one who proved mothers don't always know best." And yes, I know what you're thinking. It's intended. I saw Mal tilt her head slightly, before she said "Can't say I've heard that one before." I stepped towards her, as she continued "Where'd you come from?"

"Far, far away." I told her, with a smile. It wasn't a lie either, I was from a different universe so it was far away. "But I know of your exploits here." She nodded, as two more familiar figures walked over to us. Ben and Evie. "Hey Mal, who's your friend?" asked Ben, slipping his arm around her waist. I smiled, as Mal said "I have no idea. She hasn't given me her name. Though she knows who I am."

"Everybody knows who you three are." I said, with a smile. Before looking at Ben. "It's a pleasure to meet you, your majesty."

"Please, call me Ben." he said, with a smile. I felt the tingling above my breast stop as soon as he said that, but didn't pay it much mind. Which is not like me, and I can hear Mother telling me off for dismissing something so big. But I was distracted by the fact I was standing in front of three fictional characters. That was probably bigger. "Hey there." said Evie, with a smile. Again, the tingling on my right wrist stopped. And again, I didn't think anything of it. "Hey." I said, looking at her, before taking a deep breath. I figured she'd like a compliment so I added "Has anybody ever told you how beautiful you are?" with a smile. At her blush, I assumed not many people actually complimented her. And at Mal's glare I guessed she didn't like how I said it. Ben looked at me and said "So, mind giving us your name?"

"It's Emily." I told him, with a smile. "Just Emily." Ben nodded, before saying "Why we don't take this into my office? I'm sure we have much to talk about." I tilted my head, something told me he knew more than he was letting on… I just smiled, before nodding and saying "Lead the way, your majesty."

"Let me get this straight, soulmates are a thing here?" I asked, as I stood in Ben's office with him, Mal and Evie. Mal was leaning against the wall behind the desk Ben was sat at, while Evie sat in one of the chairs, the poise of a Princess. Ben nodded and said "Yes. However most people don't have visual clues on who their soulmate is. It is rare and only those blessed by a certain goddess at birth have them…" I nodded, soul-marks were a rare thing back in my world too, unless Aunt Aphrodite liked you. "Let me guess, this goddess is Aphrodite." I said, with a shake of my head. Of course, my aunt can't make things easy for me here. She had to throw me into the deep end. And not allow me much time to get acquainted with the new world first. I chuckled, as Mal said "You know her?"

"I may have got on her bad side by not letting her out of a golden net a few years back." I told her, with a small smile. "She's also technically my aunt." Mal just nodded, as Ben said "Well, then, you probably have more of a grasp on this than us."

"Actually, you probably know much more than me." I told him, with a sigh. "Since we're so-called soulmates, I'm not going to lie to you. I'm from a world where this entire place is fictional." I studied their faces, though only Ben's betrayed any emotion. Mal and Evie had stoic expressions, while he looked quizzical for a moment. Before he shook it away as Mal said "One of the things you should know about soulmates, they know when you're lying."

"Caught you out a few times, I'm guessing." I said, looking at her. I wasn't concerned, since I knew I was telling the truth, and obviously so did they. Mal nodded before saying "Yeah. A few times."

"More than a few." said Evie, looking at Mal. "Or do you not remember when you forgot my birthday?" Mal blushed, as Ben said "Anyway, we should inform the Fairy Godmother of our new student." changing the subject. He turned to look at me. "Is that alright with you?"

"Admittedly, I would much rather be in the library with a map of the world and a few history books, but I suppose we have to get the admin stuff out of the way first." I said, with a small smile. Knowledge was the one thing I could rely on all the time, and without knowing much about the 'real' world I was now in… Well it didn't sit right with me. I knew basic stuff, but only things I may have gleamed from the two movies, since I hadn't read any of the books. And I really hate going into places blind. "You'd willingly go to the library?" asked Mal, raising her eyebrow. "Why?"

"Knowledge is power, Mal." I told her, with a smile. "And I'm also as blind as a bat when it comes to this world, which is not something I like… I know a lot about the Isle and this very castle, but other than that I am blind. I don't like that feeling. It's dangerous." Mal seemed confused, making me smile slightly. "I like being prepared." I told her, with a smile. Mal just nodded, as Ben said "I will send a message to the Fairy Godmother, telling her to meet us in here. There are a few history books on the shelves if you wish to look at them." I smiled at him, before saying "Thanks." as he stood up.

I read for about half an hour before the Fairy Godmother walked in. In that time I learnt that the United States of Auradon had been many separate continents twenty years ago. Till all the good magic users banded together and used a very powerful spell to unite the lands. Placing King Adam and Queen Belle in charge. It was an interesting read, but didn't tell me enough. Since half an hour wasn't enough to even finish a chapter…

"You wanted to see me, your majesty." said the Fairy Godmother, breaking me out of my reading. I looked up to see her standing in the doorway, looking at Ben. Ben smiled at her and said "We have a new student." The Fairy Godmother smiled and said "Emily has arrived then."

"You were expecting me?" I asked, confused. The Fairy Godmother turned, slightly surprised, before looking me up and down. "You're Emily?"

"Of course." I said, with a smile. "And you're the Fairy Godmother. I'm going to ask again, you were expecting me?"

"Your mother sent word ahead." said the Fairy Godmother, looking at me. "She told me to expect you tomorrow though, you are early." I just smiled, before saying "I guess Mother didn't tell you I never do what's expected of me." The Fairy Godmother nodded, as she said "I see you've already met King Ben and his… friends." I saw Mal and Evie roll their eyes, as I said "You mean his consorts." I saw a slight sigh erupt from the Fairy Godmother but it was gone as soon as it was there, so I continued "Yes, I've already met them. They've explained things to me." The Fairy Godmother nodded again, before saying "Ah well, if you'd follow me I'll show you to your room." I just nodded and stood up. As Ben said "You can take the book with you, if you want." while smiling at me. I smiled back and nodded before saying "I will get it back to you tomorrow."

"Oh that's alright, you can have it for longer." said Ben, looking at me. I chuckled and said "I'm a quick reader, your majesty. Believe me when I say I'll have read this by tomorrow." He seemed surprised, but nodded, making me smile. As I followed the Fairy Godmother out.

The Fairy Godmother soon palmed me off to her daughter, Jane, who had been talking to Jay and Carlos (Who had Dude on his lap) as well as a blonde girl, in a semi-familiar blue dress, I didn't know. "Jane, dear, this is Emily." said the Fairy Godmother, looking at Jane. "Can you show her around?"

"Of course, Mother." said Jane, nodding. The Fairy Godmother smiled and nodded, before walking off. I let out a smile, before saying "Hey."

"Is that history book from King Ben's library?" asked the blonde, her eyes wide. She also had a similar accent to mine, British. "He doesn't usually let anybody touch them except Evie…"

"I must be special then." I said, with a smile. They didn't need to know about the soulmate thing just yet, I needed to process that myself. "I'm returning it to him in the morning, then probably heading to the library. I hear it's amazing here." The blonde grinned and said "Yeah, it's amazing. Mom's one of the librarians. The main one during summer, at least." I smiled before saying "Well, I cannot wait to meet her. I will probably be seeing a lot of her." The blonde smiled and said "I'm Charlotte Liddell." I nodded, with a smile. Liddell, huh? No wonder the dress looked familiar, her mother must be Alice. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Charlotte." I said, with a smile. Before looking at Jay, Carlos and Jane. "It's a pleasure to meet all of you. Even if I don't know some of your names." That was a lie, but they didn't need to know that. "I'm Carlos, this is Jay." said Carlos, with a smile in my direction. I nodded and said "It's a pleasure to meet both of you." Jane looked at me and said "Are you ready to see your room?" I smiled at her and nodded before saying "Sure. I need to start reading if I want to finish this book for tomorrow morning." Again, another lie. I didn't sleep much, since I could survive on an hour if I wanted, so I didn't actually need to start reading this minute to finish the book by the morning, but they didn't need to know that. I smiled as I followed Jane towards a side building.

"Since it's summer at the moment, only those of us who's parents work here are currently here." said Jane, with a smile as she led me down a corridor in the girl's side of the boarding house. I noticed that she didn't mention the ones who didn't have parents, like the four VKs, but I didn't mention it. "So, you have a room to yourself right now, but when school starts again in three months you will have a roommate." I nodded. I'm used to having a roommate, since I lived in a carehome till I was eleven. And then I lived in a cabin with about twenty of my half-siblings, and there wasn't much privacy there. Just a few screens dividing the open space into smallish rooms. "Cool." I said, looking at Jane. "I'm used to having a roommate. I've always had one." Jane nodded, as we reached a door marked '2-C'. She opened it with a smile and said "I'm in 2-A, if you have any questions. I'll leave you to settle in." She walked off, making me smile as I made my way into the room. It was a simple room, with two beds. Two of pretty much everything, except the table with four chairs around it. There was a flat screen TV, and quite a big one at that. There was also an empty bookcase which was pretty cool. There was a bay window with seating around it, which was great, and I made my way other to it straight away, after shutting the door. I smiled as I flicked the book open to where I had left off and began reading again.

The history of the United States of Auradon is interesting. King Adam and Belle united the world, but each state is run by a different King or Queen. Interestingly, there were two King Arthurs. Though, one was Queen Allie, and was only seventeen, while the other was King Arthur, who was in his thirties and married to both Guinevere and Lancelot. I suppose that's one way to kill a love triangle. Though I wasn't really interesting in those three, Queen Allie intrigued me, the name was familiar. But there wasn't much on the people in the book I was reading, it was just history. And according to the book, Queen Allie and her subjects had appeared on the outskirts of Camelot, with their own building. Avalon High… Again, the name was familiar. Merlin had relocated the building to be not far from the castle, allowing Camelot to have it's own school. Queen Allie and her knights moved into the castle, but being a history book it didn't have any information on who Queen Allie and her knights were… It was infuriating.

I was brought out of my reading by a knock on my door. I was reading about how Hawaii existed here as well, and with that name, and that Motunui was one of the islands. I sighed, bookmarking the page before standing up and walking over to the door. I opened it with a small smile, to see Mal and Evie standing there. With Jay and Carlos. "Hey." I said, with a smile. "What brings you here?"

"We came to see if you wanted a tour of the campus." said Evie, with a smile. "Unless we interrupted you doing something?" I smiled back at her. It's been an hour, I can stand to take a break. "I was just reading about Queen Allie and her knights, they seem familiar." I said, looking at Evie and Mal. "Any idea who they are?"

"Her knights are impressive Tourney players." said Jay, looking at me. "They almost beat us in the finals." I nodded, as Mal said "They arrived here when we were still on the isle a year ago. We got a new history teacher at Dragon Hall at the same time." I nodded again, that didn't help me work out how I knew the name, but it'd do for now. "So, about this tour." I said, with a smile, as I placed the book on the side and stepped outside with them.

The tour was interesting. The four of them showed me everything. The cafeteria, the library, the classrooms… There was also the tourney field and an area just outside the school ground that housed a carnival during the school year. All year long. The tents were still up, but there were no people in any of them, which was pretty cool. There was a permanent carnival outside the school. I think I'm going to enjoy my time here.

After a good two hours, we said our goodbyes and I headed back to my room to continue reading. I still had a good half of the book to read.

Much like my world's USA had a president, this USA also had one. King Adam. Though he wasn't the president as much as King. And there was a council led by King Adam who voted on everything. A lot of Disney characters I knew were on said council, including Snow White. It was a fascinating read.

By the time I finished the book, it was dark out. And I looked at the clock on the side to see it was almost five am. I smiled to myself, before reaching into my bag and pulling out my pyjamas. I quickly changed into them before turning off the lights and getting into bed.

I woke up two hours later, fully rested, and changed back into my normal clothes before heading out of the boarding house. Wondering if the cafeteria would be open.

Turns out it was, and Ben was in there, looking at his phone. "Hey Emily." he said, looking at me as I sat down across from him with my croissants. I smiled and said "Hey. I have your book. It was an interesting read." He nodded, before saying "You weren't kidding when you said you were a quick reader." I just chuckled as I bit into one of my croissants. Gods, I loved croissants. In moderation, of course, because there is such a thing as too much of a good thing and you don't want to get sick of things. But anyway… "I was up till five reading it." I said, after swallowing. "Don't worry, I don't need much sleep." I saw him studying me, before saying "So, what are you planning to do today?"

"I was going to go to the library." I told him, with a smile. "Need to find a map of the USA." He nodded, before saying "How would you feel about meeting my parents? I may have let it slip that I found my fourth soulmate…" I let out a small sigh. I wasn't ready to think about that at the moment. I turned my sigh into a small smile before saying "I… Do we have to do it today? I really just want to bury myself in maps of the world." He smiled at me and said "Mal, Evie and I are having dinner with them tomorrow, you're welcome to join us." I just nodded, I could do that, probably. I finished the second croissant and placed the history book on the table, with a smile. "I'll see you later, no doubt." I said, before walking out.

When I walked into the library, I saw Charlotte sat reading a book on Wonderland at one of the tables. I smiled to myself, as I heard a female voice with an RP English accent say "Can I help you?" from behind me. I turned, to see Alice standing there. Despite probably being in her thirties, I could definitely tell she was Alice. I smiled and said "I'm looking for an atlas of the USA, actually." Alice nodded and said "Follow me then." with a smile.

Soon enough, I had an atlas open in front of me. Not that it really helped me understand anything. Some of the eighteen states had weird names. That didn't help me work anything out. But hey, at least now I knew the basic layout of the country, which was great. I shut the atlas and put it back, before heading over to the textbooks. As I passed a table, I saw a familiar woman sat at one of the tables reading Romeo and Juliet. The cool thing was she wasn't wearing the yellow dress, but her blue one. I smiled to myself, as I reached the shelves, and began looking for anything on Camelot. I smiled when I saw one that read 'Recent History of Camelot' and grabbed it. Before walking over to the table Belle was sat on. "Excuse me, your majesty, do you mind if I sit here?" I asked, looking at her. She looked up from her book. "Not at all." she said, with a smile. "And please, call me Belle."

"I'm Emily." I said, as I sat down across from her. "Thanks." She smiled as she saw the book. "You like history?"

"I like knowledge." I told her, with a smile. "But honestly, I'm reading this because I recognized a name in the history book your son let me borrow last night and I want to look her up."

"Ben let you borrow one of his books?" asked Belle, with a slight smile. "I thought he only let Evie do that… Huh. Anyway, what was the name? I might be able to help you myself." I smiled. Belle was nice. Of course she was… Why would I ever think otherwise? "Queen Allie." I told her, with a smile. "I'm sure I've heard the name before, and I cannot place it right now."

"Ah yes, the girl who has been verified to be a reincarnation of King Arthur." said Belle, with a smile. "She and her knights, plus their Jennifer and Miles, arrived here two years ago. Merlin has verified their story, and they appear to be from a different universe where most of us are fictional."

"I think I need to meet these people." I said, with a smile. "Do you know how they got here?"

"A spell their Miles did went wrong or something, as far as I know." said Belle, with a smile. "My husband dealt with it while I was helping Ariel with her daughter." I nodded, as she added "Why would you need to meet them?"

"Because I'm also from a world where you're fictional characters." I told her, with a smile. There was no point lying, especially if they had precedent for people from other universes. She smiled at me, before saying "Fair enough. I take it Ben already knows, since you're his fourth soulmate." I just smiled, of course Belle would have worked it out. She's Belle. "All three of them know, yes." I said, with a smile. Before taking a deep breath. "Do we have to use the term soulmate? Doesn't it imply that your 'soul' does a jump when you meet your soulmate?" I didn't feel anything other than normal when I met the three of them. I mean, I had never had Those feelings before, so you know maybe I was thinking too much about it… "That's not always true, Emily." said Belle, looking at me with a smile. Bringing me out of my thoughts. "It took months for me to fall in love with Adam. And he's my soulmate." I knew she was trying to reassure me, but it wasn't working. I took a deep breath and said "I'm sorry, your majesty, I just…" I trailed off, unable to put what I was thinking into words. She just smiled at me, before saying "I understand, and I know Ben, Mal and Evie will as well. True love takes time. Even for those with soul-marks." She stood up. "If you want, I can set you up a meeting with Queen Allie and her consorts. I'm sure they won't mind answering your questions." I smiled, and said "I would like that. Thank you, your majesty."

"I told you, call me Belle." she said, looking at me as she took her book. "What room are you in?"

"2-C." I told her, with a smile. "I'm going back there now, should be there for the rest of the morning." Belle nodded before walking off with a smile. She was really nice in real life. Then again, I shouldn't have expected anything else. I smiled to myself and stood up, grabbing the book to put away.

There you go, end of Chapter One. I hope you enjoyed and if you've read this far, please leave a review.

And yes, Avalon High's characters will have a role in the next chapter, I have plans. :)
