{THIRD PERSON POV}

All of them made it to Auradon from what felt like a long, awkward car drive.

"I'll get these back to the gym," Lonnie told Jay as the group walked in the courtyard.

"Thanks," Jay told the daughter of Mulan.

"See you later," Lonnie said before walking away.

"Ben, there you are," Jane said as she walked over to Ben, "The Cotillion is tonight. Come here," Jane showed him the surprise for Harvey, "Look, this is the stained glass for Harvey. Isn't it beautiful? He's gonna love it."

Ben turned to Harvey, who was standing there, lost in thought, "Do you want to cancel?" Ben asked Harvey, quietly but Jane heard him.

"Um," Jane said, awkwardly, "You know, I can come back-"

"No, no, no," Ben cut off Jane, "No, no. Now's fine," Ben said before turning to Harvey, "Do whatever you need to do," Ben told Harvey before walking off with Jane.

Mal and Evie walked over to Harvey and grabbed both of his arms.

"We need to talk," Evie told Harvey.

"Like right now," Mal added.

"Yeah," Harvey said before they started to walk away but someone stopped them.

"No," Carlos said, causing the three to turn to look at him.

"No?" Mal asked, confused.

"You guys are always going off in a huddle, whispering your 'girl talk' stuff or whatever," Carlos told them, quoting the words girl talk with his hand, "Jay and I are tired of it."

"I'm not," Jay told the girls and Harvey.

"We're your family, too," Carlos told the girls and Harvey, softly, "We've been through a lot. Together. We're not stopping that now, okay?" Carlos continued as Harvey nodded, softly, "Everyone sit," Carlos ordered. They all looked at him, weirdly before sitting down on the grass. They looked at Carlos, waiting for him to start the 'girl talk' "I don't know how to start girl talk," Carlos admitted before looking at Jay.

"What up?" Jay asked, also unsure how to start the conversation, causing Mal and Evie to laugh a little.

"Um, well," Harvey started, "I'm a mess. I'm such a mess," Harvey nervously chuckled, "I mean, six months ago I was, you know, trying to cut someone's head off and now everybody wants me to this Gentlemen of the Court and I have no idea how to keep up the act," Harvey's voice cracked a little at the end.

"Then don't," Carlos told Harvey like it was simply.

"See, this was dumb," Jay said as he started to stand up but Mal stopped him.

"Maybe it wasn't," Mal told Jay, causing him to sit back down as Mal held Harvey's hand, "We're always going to be the kids from the Isle. I tried to forget, I really tried but those are our roots and we all did what we had to do to survive."

"But it made us who we are and we are never going to be like anyone else here and that's okay. That's okay," Evie finished for Mal.

"And we can't fake it," Carlos said, softly.

"Yeah, I mean, especially without my spell book," Harvey mentioned.

"Harv, if Ben doesn't love the real you, then he's not the one," Carlos advised Harvey.

"I like that," Mal said.

"Give him a chance," Carlos told Harvey.

"I'm going to make some changes to your suit," Evie told Harvey, "And if you're up for it, only it you're up for it, it'll be waiting for you," Evie hugged Harvey as Mal squeezed Harvey's hand before Evie stood up with Carlos, Jay, and Mal, leaving Harvey with his thoughts. Jay looked back at Harvey for a second before going to sit in front of him.

"Come to Cotillion tonight, alright?" Jay told Harvey, softly, "If Ben isn't smart enough to love you and you can't stand another day. I'll drive you back tomorrow myself, okay?" Jay smiled at Harvey causing Harvey to smile back.

"Ok," Harvey said, quietly before Jay stood up and walked away.

"If only I knew what my heart was telling me. Don't know what I'm feeling. Is this just a dream?" Harvey sang softly, "Ah oh, yeah If only I could read the signs in front of me I could find the way to who I'm meant to be Ah oh, if only If only."

"What am I gonna do?" Harvey mumbled to himself.
