Chapter 9: help me, help you

(Thank you to @JaydenR_ for editing the chapters!)

The next morning you got up sharply at 8 am ready for the day to come. You had a feeling this was not going to be easy but with the power point presentation you made, hopefully things will get easier. Once you were ready, you grabbed your chrome book and headed straight for the makeshift lecture hall.

You played around with the projector, trying to connect your chromebook. You managed to do so about 10 minutes before everyone would file in. You double check your slides making sure everything makes sense. If everything goes well, you'll have a working household in no time. It wasn't long before the hall began to fill with villains. Some congregated into small groups and sat with each other. Others chose to ignore one another and sit alone.

"You all set kid?" Hades asked as he came up to the front of the room.

You nodded "is this everyone?"

"Everyone that's attending. The only ones who aren't gonna show are cruella and Frollo"

You give him a confused look "why?"

"Cruella said he had something to do this morning and needed a ride. They both apologize for the inconvenience." Hades said.

"Alright, I'll just tell them later." You mumble, a bit annoyed since you already had plans for them. Guess you were gonna have to tell them later.

"Relax kid, you're gonna do great. I'll just be over there if you need me." Hades said as he gave you his flaming thumbs up before walking off to the corner.

You sigh as you head to the podium. You stood behind it and opened your chromebook. You clicked on the presentation and tried to gather everyone. "If I could have everyone attenchun." You say in your normal voice. Ya that wasn't going to work.

"Everyone can you please-" you try again, still nothing.

Hades the. Snapped his finger and a mic parried on the podium. "Could I have everyone attenchun!" This got everyone's attention, they all sat quietly and faced you.

"Grate, now I know you're all probably wondering why I asked you all here. I've noticed over the last few days that the house has started to become a bit of a mess. Also I have no idea how long you all are gonna be here and cause of how many there are of you, money is gonna become tight." You grab the cord and plug it into the computer which projected itself onto the board.

"Hades, lights!" You shout and he flips the light switch "thanks. Now as you can see on screen I've gone through everyone's list of talents and out you were you fit best. Not everyone's gonna be happy but at least we will all get a break from each other. Now I'm not gonna make you do anything, this is simply just a suggestion." You say clicking on the next slide.

(2 hours later cause I can't think)

By the time you were done, the room had erupted into chaos. Why, why did you do this? The villains had begun fighting with each other as they bickered back and forth with one another. No one wanted jobs, no one wanted to do house work, they all just wanted to go back to living their normal lives. If you could even call it that.

Hades had come over to you and laced what seemed to be a comforting hand on your shoulder.

"Nice job kid, you just made the heat rise." Hades commented.

"I wasn't trying to, you saw how this house was getting." You say trying to justify your actions.

"Ya, it's how most of us live. At Least when we're left to do the work."

"Well this is my house, and I shouldn't be incharge of your messes!" You say, as you then grab your laptop and strom out of the lecture hall like room.

You head to the living room and plop yourself down on the couch, why, why did you make such a stupid wish! You grab one of the decor pillows next to you and scream into it. It wasn't long before you heard the front door creek open. Inside stepped froll and cruella.

"I do hope y/n not gonna be too mad at us." Cruella said as they entered your home.

"Mad about what?" You shout and they both look at you.

"Y/n, where is everyone?" Frollo asked.

"You would have known if you stayed for my presentation but it's not like you guys are gonna be happy either. So please tell me what was so important that you had to miss it?" Your face was twitching a bit.

"If you must know I was out getting a job." Frollo stated as they came into the liveing room.

"Well that just-" you pause processing the words. Did he just say what you think he said? "What?"

"That's why we were out, Frollo had a job interview and needed a ride." Cruella added taking a seat next to you.
"Well, not what I was expecting but I'm glad someone is actually trying to keep the income steady." You say with a small smile "so what's the job?"

"Not that I like it, but it's a teaching position." He said taking a seat in the spare arm chair.

"Not what I was expecting, but I had something very similar lined up in the presentation. That reminds me, cruella I have a favor to ask you?"

"What is it?" She asked.

"The money is becoming tight, so I was wondering if you could possibly start up your de vil fashion line in my world. Of course you can't call it de vil here but-" Cruella cut you off.

"Say no more darling, I was already thinking of getting a fashion business started."

"You were?"

"Indeed, you have no idea how boring it gets around here. It would be nice to have something to keep us occupied."

You smile at them "I appreciate you both for taking advantage without my guidance. Especially after the morning I just had."

"What do you mean?" Cruella asked

You sigh and begin to explain the whole morning.

(Villains pov)
Hades watched as you left the room. He kind of felt a bit bad, since you had done all this work just for backlash. But what was he to do, they were villains and never liked to follow someone else's orders, especially if that someone is a kid.
He thought for a moment, what would be the best course of action. On one hand you were right, the house was starting to become a mess, even for his standers. On the other hand, he had no interest in getting a job, like the rest of them. But the yammering in the background wasn't helping.

"Shut up!" Hades screamed into the mic, regathering the rooms attenchun. "Now I know we're not all happy with this decision but the kids got a point. Now the kid does have a point, this house is getting a mess. But she's also wrong, none of us need to get jobs to keep the income steady. In fact I've got a much more suitable idea."

"What are you proposing Hades?" Hook asked

"Well most of us got magic, so we use that to our advantage. I can take care of most of the housework with my god-like powers. Kronk and skinner can handle the cooking, like they have been. And If anyone gives us trouble with money, jafar can just hypnotize them."

"So we won't have to get jobs?" Medusa asked.

"Nope." The villains rejoiced at not having to do human labor.

"But there's another thing '' Hades said, calming the room down "y/n, we all saw what happened to her on Friday night. That star brought us her to help her and by zuses name we are going to do that."

"And just how are we going to help her?" Kahn asked.

"Well she wants the house clean. So if we keep it that way, it is one less thing on her mind. She is also gonna need to learn some self defense."

"Will take care of that!" Gaston shouted from where him and the rest of the hunters sat.

"Grate, she also might need academic help. After all She'll be heading to college in a few years, and hopefully will be out of her hair by then. Not to mention the girls medical history"

"I guess me and Frollo could help her with that, as long as I'm not teaching anyone else." Gothel said.

"And we can help the girl out with medical stuff." Mad stated as he gestured to calico.

Hades continued down the list till everyone had a roll in the house. Once he was done he turned to Ursula and asked.
"Ursula, can you still conjure up a contract, correct?"

"Already on it." She said,

(Your pov)
You were still in the living room. Cruella had fixed you up a snack of apple slices and Nutella after your depressing story. But it had been several minutes since you were in the lecture hall and were beginning to wonder what was going on.

"Whatever is going on in there must be horrendous." Curella stated.

"You should have seen the mess I left behind." You grumble, sinking into the couch.

"It surely can't be that bad." Frollo stated.

You shrugged "I hope.

It wasn't long before you heard a door one and one by one the villains filed into the small living room.

"Alright y/n, we have come to an agreement." Maleficent said.

"An agreement?" You question.

Ursula, who was in her Vanessa form, slammed a scroll down onto the table. "This is our terms and conditions."
Your eyes widened at the scroll before picking it up and reading it. It stated every villain's role in the house, along with what you would be responsible for.

"All we ask in return is that you continue to thrive, and ask for help when needed" you read aloud. "Surely you all didn't come up with this now?"

"We did and you are going to sign." Ursula said as a feather appeared folding next to you.

You look over it one last time. It was a good offer, even better than the one you had come up with. This one they would agree to, and you'll get the help you need. So you grab the quill and sign. After you did so, the contract disappeared.

There was no going back now. Both sides were stuck together, at least for the time being.
