princess from the isle

Gil’s face flushed for a moment at the comment of a big strong pirate.  He ducked his face for a moment, before saying, “My father was great, just hard to impress.. but I mean i doubt you know anything about that.  Gorgeous, talented, brilliant, your mother was always proud of you– even when you left the island.” Gil was surprised often how connected all their parents were, the tales he heard growing up often never living up to the sad reality they all witnessed.  “And I mean you got off the isle, and from what I heard you were making something of yourself.” He added with a shrug.  If Gil had a choice at another life, he always knew he’d chose his friends and where ever they went.  He was a pirate cause Harry and Uma were pirates, if they were thieves, he’d be thieves.  He didn’t quite understand how to be without having others tell him what to do.

evie smiled softly when she saw his face flush. she let out a soft chuckle. “not if she’s anything like the mother i have here. she’s impossible to impress. always something more to work on. never perfect enough,” she said with a small shrug. she had been relieved to get away for college. at least then she wouldn’t have to hear her mother berating her over something. “i suppose. i just wish i could remember it. i mean i’m trying here and all. fashion degree and such,” she rambled slightly, her cheeks flushing. she was glad to have met her new friends. evie had known what it was like to be alone. and now that she had friends, she wasn’t going to let them go. and that included gil. 

“Yeah.” He stated with a shrug of his shoulder, “I’ve had worse, my father is Gaston after all and besides– pirates don’t hold their punches.” He was often the target of many fights and he was never one to run away, it was his duty to protect Uma and Harry and all of Uma’s interests so when they expanded, it meant they made new enemies.  “Are you alright though? Nothing hurt you right?”

she offered him a small smile. “big strong pirate,” she said playfully. “it seems like a lot of people don’t have great parents, huh?” she asked softly, mostly to herself. she felt bad for the people she cared about. the ones who had grown up on this isle. she gave another small smile. “i’m alright,” she said, tucking a loose strand of hair, not noticing the faint handprint from the familiar but unfamiliar figure she’d faced. 

“I’ll heal, besides my dad always said chicks dig scars.” Gil commented with his usual bashful demeanor.  When he noted the concern on her features, he felt as if his heart skipped a beat for a moment.  He knew Harry worried about him, and uma wouldn’t show it but he felt like she did.  It was just rare to feel like someone else could, his own brothers would sell him if it meant getting ahead and Gil always felt fourth best in his house given how his father chose not to name him after himself.  An honor his brothers constantly bullied him about, but it never stopped him from proving himself or at least trying too.  “Of course, I wanted to make sure you were okay.” He explained before pushing some loose hair from his face, “Were you worried about me?”

“oh of course,” she chuckled softly. “are you sure you don’t need any help with that cut?” she felt relieved to know that he was alright, though. she’d tried to look for him when mal had been dragging her around, trying to find an exit but hadn’t spotted his blonde head. evie felt herself smile when he told her he wanted to make sure she was okay too. in a strange way it made her feel good to know that he’d worried about her too. evie nodded. “of course i was.”

@4heartsforever (Evie & Gil)

Gil had a cut on his eyebrow, a bruise on his cheek and the biggest grin on his face the moment he saw Evie.  His shirt was torn off, and it was obvious he had been in several fights before being here but the moment he saw Evie.  He was his usual goofy self again,  “So— I uhh may have torn the outfit you loaned me.” He replied, “But i gotta admi that was some of the most fun i’ve had in awhile.” He chuckled, he lived with fear on the isle.  No clown person, could ever make him feel the type of fear his Dad did.  “Are you alright? I tried to find you in there.”

evie had been worried about all of her friends when the chaos had started at the ball. she and mal had managed to get out as soon as they could. but evie had to make sure that everyone was okay. so as soon as she saw gil, she let out a breath of relief. “oh my gosh are you okay?” she asked, raising her hand to his eyebrow and cheek. “it’s okay, gil. really. i’m just glad you’re okay. how am i not even surprised that you had fun?” she asked with a soft smile. “i’m okay. just saw some stuff. no big deal. you did?” 

she took evie’s hand, pulling the other girl closer and looking her over quickly for any sign of injury before answering her. “i don’t know, but apparently we’re all on the naughty list this year. doors are locked, windows are unbreakable, and out worst fears are manifesting. i don’t know if they can hurt us or not, and i’m not sure i want to find out.”

evie gripped mal’s hand tightly, hoping to keep them together. “i’m fine, mal,” she assured softly. “everything? there’s...there’s no way out? they’re what? are you okay? where’s carlos and dizzy?” she asked a mile a minute. she knew that carlos had had something similar happen to him on halloween and she wanted to make sure he was okay. and of course dizzy needed to be with them. “we have to find them.” and she was suddenly worried about gil as well. she hoped he was okay.

Carlos’s own face lit up as his eyes met her own, he was damn proud of his outfit. After so long back home that he had spent helping Evie plan and make outfits for himself, their friends and then in Auradon many others - he was pretty confident that he had done a good job and was looking forward to show Evie what he had done. To make her proud. “Do you really think so? Its alright?” He gave a slight turn of his own, a grin tugging onto his face, “You look amazing Eves!” He held a hand out for her, “Like always, as for me - no real fun yet - but now I have some company, I should have more fun”

evie liked seeing her friend smile after they’d spent so much time with him recovering from the halloween ordeal. she smoothed out his collar helpfully and smiled back at him. she was very proud of his efforts and was happy he had thought of her. “of course i do! you look quite dashing,” she told him. she blushed, brushing a strand of hair back behind her ear. “thank you, carolos,” she told him, taking his hand. “oh hush you. well then we better get you some fun. that’s what this whole thing is for, right?” 

closed starter for evie grimhilde!! ( @4heartsforever )

when all the chaos began, and she’d seen maleficent stalking towards her, mal had immediately begun searching for her loved ones. spotting the blue haired girl in the crowds, she breathed a sigh of relief. “evie! are you alright?”

evie felt the slight panic build up in her chest. she’d managed to get separated from everyone and now she was worried about them. she looked around for anyone familiar before hearing mal’s voice. she turned, reaching out for her friend. “i’m okay. what’s going on?” she asked. 

Carlos’s own face lit up as his eyes met her own, he was damn proud of his outfit. After so long back home that he had spent helping Evie plan and make outfits for himself, their friends and then in Auradon many others - he was pretty confident that he had done a good job and was looking forward to show Evie what he had done. To make her proud. “Do you really think so? Its alright?” He gave a slight turn of his own, a grin tugging onto his face, “You look amazing Eves!” He held a hand out for her, “Like always, as for me - no real fun yet - but now I have some company, I should have more fun”

evie was glad to spend more time with him. and of course she liked it when he had that smile on his face. maybe someday she could remember there being more of them. she nodded as he turned, pretty proud of what he had come up with on his own. “of course! would i lie to you? you look quite handsome,” she told him with a soft laugh. she blushed slightly. “well thank you. i’m glad,” she commented, taking his hand without hesitation. “well then let’s have some fun. come on. i think you owe me a dance.”

@4heartsforever gets a random starter! (cause I miss these babies!)

“Evie!” Carlos instantly brightened at the familiar sight of blue, quickly moving between people as he made his way closer. This was one of the first events where he hadn’t actually gotten her help with his outfit, and as weird as that was - he was eager to show her what he had managed on his own. It was almost Evie-worthy and he was damn proud of how he looked. “How is my favourite princess doing? Are you having fun?” His smile didn’t falter as he carefully linked arms with her. 

evie turned when she heard the familiar voice, a bright smile gracing her features. she felt like they hadn’t seen each other in awhile and he hadn’t asked her to help him with his outfit. she was impressed at what he had come up with though. “you look so good!” she exclaimed happily. “i’m great. this all has been so much fun. do i look alright?” she asked, looking down at her blue dress with red embellishments. “are you having fun?

“I’d expect nothing else from an Evie Original.” He added with a smile to equal hers.  “Though I do miss my leathers, I feel like i’m gonna rip this suit in half if I flex the wrong way.” He had never experienced cloth before.  The material was too frail and fell apart too easily, he felt like a wolf in sheeps clothing.

evie tucked a stray piece of hair behind her ear. “well thank you, gil,” she told him. “well leather is a good look for you. but i’m sure you’ll be fine. well i tried to adjust it so you wouldn’t but if you do let me know. i’m sure i can fix it for you,” she chuckled. “so are you having fun? ask anyone to dance?”

@4heartsforever ( evie )

“am i still not supposed to scare you?” the male half pouted as he teased the other. harry would always be loyal to uma, and as long as she wasn’t a fan of the other he was going to remain the same. “i guess you decided to join mal and ditch auradon. knew you all would eventually.”

evie jumped slightly when she heard the voice beside her. she hadn’t even realized that he was there. “i’m sorry, what?” she asked with a small frown. she didn’t know who he was. “i’m sorry, i don’t know who you are. how do you know mal?” she inquired. 

                   the wide grin he previously had seemed to drop from his face in an instant, replaced by a look of utter confusion. “of course we’re friends, ‘vie, are you kidding?” he paused a moment to examine her features, trying to ensure she was being serious and that he wasn’t falling for some sort of prank. “how can you not remember the isle? we grew up together there. you, me, mal, and carlos have been best friends since we were kids.”

evie suddenly felt horrible as his smile dropped from his face. “i’m so sorry. i’m not...i don’t mean to hurt you or anything. i’m not kidding. i don’t have any memories of it. of any of it. i thought i’ve lived with just my mother my whole life.  mal told me all about it and she’s filled in some blanks but i’m still trying to figure out how to get them back,” she rambled slightly. “they’ve told me. wait...you must be jay then, right?” 

                  he was able to recognize the voice instantly, turning around to find the source before coming face to face with one of his lifelong best friends. “evie!” he exclaimed loudly, immediately throwing his arms around her in a tight embrace, fully expecting her to complain about it, but not being able to help himself with the shock and excitement of seeing her. “why didn’t you tell me you were here? you know the only time I can pull off fancy clothes is when you help pick them out,” he laughed, removing his arms from around her as he continued, “and it is definitely more fun now that I know you’re here too. I thought I was all alone.”

evie blinked in surprise when his arms found their way around her in a hug that she was definitely not expecting. “uhm hello?” she said. she wondered if he was another friend from where she was from. she guessed he was by the reaction. “sorry but, uhm, are we friends? from....oh i can never remember the name of it,” she muttered, biting her bright red lip. “you’re friends with mal and carlos too, right? i’m sorry but i don’t....i don’t actually remember anything.”

                getting in hadn’t been the difficult part, it being as simple as pickpocketing some stranger outside of the white house to get an invitation, then smooth-talking his way past the security at the front door. blending in was another story. even with his best attempt to dress for the occasion, he still looked grungy and unkempt– in reality, though, throwing a blazer over a t-shirt and ripped jeans did not take much effort, and it reflected in the judgemental eyes of the ball guests around him. “god, why is everyone here so uptight?” he was more talking to himself than to anyone in particular, but he still didn’t care if anyone heard, “I thought this was supposed to be a fun event, not some stuffy, fancy people only event.”

evie had spotted him as if he had a neon sign above his head. maybe it was the fact that she’d been adoringly looking at everyone’s outfits with a slightly critical and learning eye. and hoping that maybe she could get some inspiration as well. but it wasn’t hard to spot the one person who looked like they had decided to arrive at the last minute and just attempted to blend in. she tilted her head as he moved closer to her, muttering to himself. she let out a chuckle. “probably because the invitation said something a little more dressy.” even as she spoke she was wondering if she could help. “it is supposed to be fun though.”

@4heartsforever (Evie & Gil)

He owed Evie a thank you for helping him get ready for the ball.  He didn’t have anything outside of his usual leather attire, It wasn’t like the Isle was gearing up for Balls on a daily basis or that Harry or Uma enjoyed them.  Gil liked the thought behind it all though.  “You look gorgeous, but that’s hardly a challenge for you.” He stated with a smile.

evie had enjoyed helping everyone with the ball far more than the idea of the ball itself. not that she wasn’t excited, she’d just had a lot of fun playing designer. she turned when she heard gil’s voice and smiled. “thank you. you look quite dashing,” she said, helpfully straightening his collar.
