Eleanor's POV

"Hey, Eleanor." Audrey greeted me.

"Hi, Audrey." I replied.

I had changed into my yellow tee shirt and my cheerleading skirt. It was blue, gold and white. Hoopa's was the exact same, but it was her size.

"Jay, Ben, offense!" I heard the coach call. "Chad, you're defense! Taylor, you're the shooter."

"Right, Coach!" I heard one of the tourney players, Taylor, say.

"So, Hoopa, you excited?" Audrey asked.

"Yeah," Hoopa replied. "I just hope my brother makes the team!"

"Hey, you!" The coach called out to Carlos. "Lost boy, put your helmet on and get out of the kill zone!"

"Kill zone?" Carlos questioned.

"Pick it up! Put it on!" The coach ordered. "Two hands!" He called out to everyone before blowing the whistle.

Jay and Ben tackled everyone, but Jay really had it.

"Yay!" Hoopa and I clapped and cheered.

Jay laughed when he tackled Chad onto the ground.

Hoopa also laughed. "You scared him!"

"Ahh! Jay, it's me! It's Carlos!" Carlos yelled. He held up his shield. Instead of tackling Carlos, Jay hit the ball off his shield and jumped over the De Vil boy before scoring a goal.

The cheerleaders went wild (Including Hoopa and I), all but Audrey.

"What just happened?" One of the boys asked. "Who is this guy?"

"YOU!" The coach yelled to Jay. "Get over here!"

I tensed up, worried that he was in trouble. I ran over to Jay. "Good job." I whispered.

"What do you call that?" The coach asked Jay. He looked to the side. The coach spoke again. "I call that raw talent. Come find me later. I'll show you something you haven't seen before. It's called a rulebook." He slapped Jay's shoulder. "Welcome to the team, son."

The coach then looked at Carlos. "You ever thought about band?"

Jay and I laughed.

"I'll work with him, coach." Ben said.

"All right." The coach gave in. "Let's run that again!" He blew his whistle.

Jay turned around and saw Chad. He intentionally bumped into his shoulder as he and Hoopa sang only a few words.

"We're rotten to the core."

"Ow..." Chad whispered.

Later, after practice, Ben, Chad and Audrey were walking by the lockers, laughing. Chad saw Mal and Evie and nudged Ben before pointing to them. "Those kids are trouble."

"Bye, Mal." Evie said, walking off.

"Bye," Mal replied.

"Come on, Chad." Ben said. "Give them a chance."

Audrey pulled up her glasses and took Ben's hands. "No offense, Benny Bear, but you're just too trusting. Look, I know your mom fell in love with a big nasty beast who turned out to be a prince. But with my mom, the evil fairy was just the evil fairy." She looked at Mal. "That girl's mother," She whispered.

"I think you're wrong about them." Ben insisted. He looked at Chad. "I'll see you later."

I walked by Audrey and she gave me a strange look. Did she know Jay and I were in a romantic relationship?

If she found out, our friendship would be over...

"Hey." I heard Ben say. He was talking to Mal.

"Hey." Mal replied with a trace of girly sass.

"How was the first day?" He asked.

"Super." Mal replied sarcastically.

Ben looked at Mal's locker. "You should really think about taking this talent off the locker and into art class." He suggested. "I could, uh, sign you up. What do you think?" Just as I had predicted, Mal had sprayed 'Long Live Evil' on it.

I saw a girl wearing blue walk by. Christine had told me about her. She was Jane, the Fairy Godmother's daughter.

"Way to take all the fun out of it." Mal teased. She winked at Ben before turning around and going after Jane.

Christine's POV

"Carlos, do you think love is weak?" I asked.

"No." Carlos replied. "Mum didn't show me any love at all, except probably when I was born."

I've had a crush on Carlos ever since he called me cute.

What Carlos did next I didn't expect. He leaned down and kissed me. I felt a joy I never felt before as I kissed him in return. It lasted for two minutes before we separated for air.

"Christine Bjorgman, I love you." Carlos whispered.

"And I love you, Carlos De Vil." I replied before kissing him again.

We were really starting to get into it, when we heard clapping. We opened our eyes and pulled away to see Jay and Eleanor standing in the doorway whooping and cat-calling.

"Very funny, guys." Carlos grumbled.

"You walked in on us!" I exclaimed, unhappy with my cousin.

"Congratulations, Carlos!" Jay praised, pulling his buddy into a headlock.

"I'm happy for you, cousin." Eleanor congratulated me.

"Hey, where's Mal?" I asked.

"I saw her go after Jane earlier." Eleanor replied. "I think Mal wants to get to know Jane."

Mal's POV

I walked into the girls' bathroom and saw Jane looking at herself in the mirror.

"Hi." I greeted her when she turned around. "It's Jane, right? Oh, I've always loved that name. Jane."

"That's cool." Jane said, turning to leave.

"Don't go!" I insisted. She stopped. "I guess I was just kind of...hoping to make a friend. You probably have all the friends you need though, huh?"

"Hardly." Jane replied.

I was surprised. Jane actually had very few friends?

"Really? I mean, with your mom being Fairy Godmother and headmistress?" I asked. "I mean, not to mention your own, um...personality."

Jane started to smile; that was a good sign. She then frowned. "I'd rather be pretty. You've got great hair."

I looked at my hair and got an idea. "You know what, I have just the thing for that." I pulled out my spell book and turned to a page with hair spells. "Beware, forswear; replace the old with brand new hair." I waved my finger a few times. Jane ducked, and when she came up, she had a better hairstyle.

"Wow!" I whispered, amazed. "You almost don't notice your other features anymore!"

"Do my nose!" Jane insisted, tapping on the book.

"Oh, I can't." I replied sadly. "I've been practicing, but you know, I can't do really big magic. But not like your mom with her wand. I mean, one swoosh from that thing and you could probably have whatever features you wanted."

"She doesn't use the wand anymore." Jane admitted. "She believes the real magic is in the books, and not the spell books. Regular books with history and stuff."

I scoffed. "What a rip."

"Yeah." Jane replied.

I smiled. "You know, she used magic on Cinderella, who wasn't even her real daughter. Doesn't she love you?"

"Well of course she does." Jane replied. "Just, you know, tough love. Work on the inside, not the outside. You know, that sort of thing?"

I nodded, immediately understanding. My mother hardly loved me at all.

"That's the face!" I pointed at her. "Yeah, and then just look as if your... your heart is about to break."

I then pretended to talk to my mother. "Oh, mother, I just don't understand why you can't make me beautiful too." I looked back at Jane.

"Think it would work?" She asked.

"Yeah." I replied. "I mean, that's what old Cindy did, right? And your mom Bibbidi Bobbidi booed the living daylights out of her. And hey, if your mom does decide to...you know, break out the old wand, invite me."

Haha, this is just part of our plan to steal the wand.

"If I can convince mom, you're so there." Jane replied.

"Yay." I said.

"Bye," Jane whispered as she left.

"Bye," I murmured in reply.

Evie's POV

In Chemistry class, I noticed a prince and his sister. Mama always told me to find a prince, so I decided to ask Doug about him.

"Any chance they're in line for a throne anywhere?" I asked Doug.

"Chad, Prince Charming, Jr. and Princess Celine. Cinderella's twin son and daughter. Chad inherited the charm, but not a lot of there, know what I mean? But Celine inherited the charm AND the brains. She and Chad are constantly brawling for the title of smartest kid of Cinderella."

"Looks like there, there, to me." I replied dreamily. If I were to tell Mama, she'd be proud of me.

"Evie." My teacher, Mr. Deley, called my name. "Perhaps this is just review for you. So tell me, what is the average atomic weight of silver?"

I was a little nervous about cheating, but I had no choice. "Atomic weight?" I asked. "Well, not very much. I mean, it's an atom, right?"

I laughed and just now I realized Chad laughed with me. Maybe I could get him after all!

Mr. Deley gestured to me. I got up and secretly took out the mirror. I put it in my pocket and walked over to the chalkboard. "Let's see..." I took out my mirror and hid it to the side. "How do I find the average atomic weight of silver?" I pretended to ask myself the question, but I was really asking the mirror.

It showed the answer, and I wrote it down on the board. "That would be 106.905 times 0.5200 plus 108.905 times 0.4800, which, Mr. Deley, would give us...107.9 AMU."

"Amu?" Doug muttered under his breath.

"I forget." Mr. Deley remarked. "Always a mistake to underestimate..."

"A villain?" I finished. "Don't make it again."

Chad handed me a note. I got back to my seat and read the note. It said, 'Meet me under bleachers at 3'

I smiled at Chad and nodded. He put his hand on his chin. Doug and I did the same thing.

Wait till I tell Mama! She's gonna be excited!

Christine's POV

I was out on the Tourney field with Carlos and Ben. Ben was timing Carlos's sprints so he could be ready for the upcoming Tourney game against the Falcons.

"Ok, Carlos!" Ben called. We're gonna do some sprints. You ready?"

Carlos nodded. Just then, a dog barked and started running after him.

I smacked my forehead. I had forgotten that Carlos was afraid of dogs, thanks to his mother, Cruella.

Ben stopped the timer. I gave him a look. Did he realize what was going on?

"Carlos?" Ben asked when he saw that Carlos wouldn't stop. He saw Carlos running away from the dog and panicked. "Carlos!" He turned to me. "Christine, let's go!" I followed Ben into the forest, where I found Carlos up in a tree, trying to get away from the dog.

"Ben, Christine, help me!" Carlos pleaded. He pointed to the dog. "This thing is a killer! He's gonna chase me down and rip out my throat! This is a vicious rabid pack animal!"

"Hey!" Ben said. "Who told you that?"

"My/His mother." Carlos and I said simultaneously.

"Cruella?" Ben asked.

"She's a dog expert. A dog yellerer." Carlos replied. He looked at the dog again. "Why are you holding him? He's gonna attack you!"

"Carlos, you've never actually met the dog, have you?" Ben asked.

"Of course not." Carlos replied.

Ben introduced the dog to me and Carlos. "Dude, meet Carlos. And this is Christine, Kristoff and Anna's daughter."

"Carlos and Christine, this is Dude. He's the campus mutt."

"He doesn't look like a vicious rabid pack animal." Carlos realized.

"Carlos, what your mom told you about dogs is a lie." I comforted Carlos.

He climbed down from the tree. "Geez, you're a good boy aren't you?" Ben handed Dude to Carlos.

"Yeah, he's a good boy." I agreed. I held out my hand to him, but Dude licked it. "Eww, stop it!"

"I guess you guys have it pretty rough on the island." Ben said sympathetically.

"Yeah." Carlos replied. "Let's just say we don't get a lot of belly rubs."

"Jay told me that Carlos's mother always treated him like garbage and used him as her slave." I explained to Ben, who looked at Carlos with a sad smile.

"Good boy." Ben gave Carlos a pat on the shoulder. I raised an eyebrow at him.

"I mean, you're a good runner." Ben clarified, as if he saw my facial expression. "You're fast, you know."

"Thank you." Carlos replied.

"Listen, I'm gonna give you guys some space, yeah?" Ben asked. "You guys get to know each other and just, you know, come find me when you're done, ok?"

"Ok." Carlos answered.

"I'll see you later."

"See you out there."

Ben walked off as I waved to him.

Carlos smiled. "Christine, I thank you for helping me get over my fear of dogs." He held Dude in one arm so he could lift my chin and plant a brief but sweet kiss on my lips.

"Maybe we could go out on a date sometime?" I asked.

"Sure." Carlos replied. "But I would like to be the one to ask you."

"You may." I replied, both of us laughing as we sat down.

Carlos and Dude interacted as I watched with a smile on my face. The boy I had fallen in love with had overcome his cynophobia.

Celine's POV

I was sitting on the bleachers, daydreaming when I heard my brother's voice, as well as the voice of the blue haired villain girl, whose name I discovered was Evie.

"Is everybody at home as pretty as you?" My brother asked Evie.

Evie laughed. "I like to think I'm the fairest of them all. How many rooms in your castle?"

"Oh, too many to count." Chad replied. "You really nailed that chemistry problem today."

I smiled. For once, my brother was not boasting about himself, and instead congratulating someone else other than me.

"You're gonna have all the nerds in love with you." He went on.

"I'm not that smart." Evie replied. "No, really, I'm not. But I'm really good at sewing and cooking and cleaning. You know, like yours and Celine's mother, Cinderella, but without the ratty dress. See this?"

I could tell she pulled out her magic mirror.

"If I ask it where something is, it tells me."

"Are you kidding me?" My brother asked.

"No." Evie replied.

"Where's my cell phone?" Chad asked the mirror.

Evie laughed. "It won't work for you, silly."

Chad handed the mirror back to Evie. "No biggie. My dad will get me a new one."

"Kit." Evie said our father's name.

"Yeah." Chad replied.

"And Cinderella." Evie finished.

"Yeah," Chad said again.

"And Fairy Godmother."

"Wow..." I muttered under my breath. "Evie really does know our parents' story."

"Hey," Evie said. "I heard her wand is in some boring museum. Do they always leave it there?"

I looked under the bleachers and saw my brother holding hands with Evie.

"I'd really like to talk," Chad said apologetically.

My smile faded from my face. I really hoped my brother would kiss Evie. He let go of her hands and gripped a pole.

"But I'm just swamped." He finished. He turned to look back at Evie. "Unless..."

"Unless...?" Evie repeated.

"If you can knock all my homework out along with yours, then maybe we could get together sometime... You know, hang." Chad finished.

I held my breath, awaiting Evie's decision.

"Ok." She replied.

"Thanks, babe." Chad said.

I smiled. Chad called Evie 'babe'!

"Yeah." Evie replied.

"Bye." She said as he handed her his backpack and left.

I came around. "Hey, Evie."

Evie turned around. "Hey, Celine. Did you overhear?"

"Yeah, I'm so happy for you and Chad!" I let out a squeal of delight.

"Mom's gonna be pleased." Evie breathed.

"Oh, yeah, your mum's Queen Grimhilde." I remembered. "Is she obsessed with you finding a prince?"

"Yeah." She replied.

"Does your mom love you?" I asked.

"Just a little bit." Evie replied. "The only time she really loves me is when I am beautiful. When I look washed up, she insists that I get my makeup fixed."

Just then, Doug ducked under the bleachers. "I couldn't help but overhear."

Evie widened her eyes. "Are you stalking me?"

"Technically...yes." Doug replied. "I too have a fascination of the Fairy Godmother's wand; which is another reason I look forward to the coronation. Perhaps we could sit next to each other and discuss its attributes?"

"Are you saying they use it in the coronation?" Evie asked.

"Yes." Doug replied. "And asking you out?"

I was stunned. Just what was he doing? Does he know Evie is taken?

Evie chuckled and walked off to the dorm.

Christine's POV

I was hanging out with Mal and Evie in their dorm, along with Jane.

"Mom said, 'If a boy can't see the beauty within, then he's not worth it.' Can you believe it?" Jane ranted. "What world does she live in?"

"Auradon." Mal replied.

"Mal," Evie stepped in to the conversation. "Do you like?" She held up her newly sewn outfit.

"Yeah." Mal replied. "It's cute. It brings out your eyes."

"I know." Evie replied. She held it out to me. "What about you, Christine?"

"Beautiful." I replied.

"I'll never get a boyfriend." Jane moaned.

"Come on, Jane." I tried to put some common sense into her. "I have a boyfriend; Carlos. He's cute, he's talented, and...brave."

"Boyfriends are overrated." Mal sneered.

"And how would you know, Mal?" Evie demanded. "You've never had one. Ask Christine and Eleanor."

"Because I don't need one, E." Mal said firmly. "They're a waste of time."

Evie gasped. "I forgot to do Chad's homework! Oh, no! Oh, no, no, no."

"And that is exactly what I mean." Mal boasted.

My roommate, Lonnie, came in, knocking on the door. She introduced herself to everyone before pulling me in for a hug. "Hey, Christine."

"Hey, Lonnie." I replied.

"I heard that you and Carlos are together now. Congratulations." She beamed.

"Thanks, Lonnie." I replied.

"I love what you've done with Jane's hair. And I know you hate us. And, well, you're evil. But do you think you could do mine?"

Mal looked at Lonnie. "Why would I do that for you?"

"I'll pay you 50 dollars." Lonnie held out her pouch.

"Good answer." Evie took the pouch. "I need to buy more material. Let's see. I'm thinking, we lose the bangs, maybe some layers, and some highlights."

"Yeah, yeah. I want it cool." Lonnie replied. "Like Mal's."

Mal looked up, stunned.

"Really?" Evie asked. "Maybe the split ends too?"

Mal groaned and got off her bed. She took her spell book and opened it. "Ok... Beware, forswear, replace the old with cool hair."

She waved her finger and Lonnie's hair turned brown and grew long. She looked at herself in the mirror, stunned.

"I know." Evie remarked. "I know. It looks like a mop on your head. You know what, let's cut it off, layer it..."

"No, no, no, no, no!" Lonnie insisted. "I love it. It's just..." She then ripped the bottom of her skirt a little bit. "Now I'm cool."

"Like ice." Mal remarked.

Jane stepped in front of the mirror before ripping the bottom of her skirt too. She covered her mouth, realizing she made a mistake. "What did I just do? Mom's gonna kill me!"

Eleanor's POV

I was sitting on the bleachers with Jay and Coach Jenkins. Jay was reading through the rule book and Hoopa was floating above us, looking through it herself.

"I could really use a tough guy like you." Coach Jenkins told Jay. "The team's a bunch of princes, if you know what I mean."

"You're telling me." My boyfriend remarked. "It's all..." He signaled to Hoopa so they could talk together.

"'After you, old chum. Oh pardon us, did we bump into you?'"

I laughed. Who knew Jay could be super funny?

"Back where we come from..." Jay began before signaling to Hoopa again.

"It's 'Prepare to die, suckers!' As our father says, 'The only way to win is to make sure everyone loses! You rip-"

"Guys!" Coach Jenkins tried to calm Jay and Hoopa down. "Guys, guys, guys! Let me explain a team."

Jay and Hoopa calmed down. "It's like a family." Coach Jenkins went on.

"You do not want to be at mine and Big Brother's house at dinner time." Hoopa told Coach Jenkins.

"You know how a body has a lot of different parts? The legs, elbows, ears. They all need each other. Well that's what a team is. Different players who work together to win. And also, Jay, you know how your girlfriend is on the cheerleading squad? The cheerleaders have to work together to make the human pyramid. Make any sense?"

Jay smiled. "Can I be the fist?"

Coach Jenkins put his hand over Jay's fist. Hoopa grinned. "I'm so happy you want Big Brother on the team."

Coach Jenkins handed Jay his Tourney jersey and gave me and Hoopa our cheerleading uniforms.

We walked into Mal and Evie's dorm showing off our new uniforms, getting wolf whistles from Carlos and Harold.

"Did your plan work with Jane?" Jay asked Mal. "You going over to see the wand?"

Mal glared. "Do you think that I would be going through every single spell in this book if I hadn't completely struck out?"

"Someone's in a bad mood." Jay remarked.

"My mom's counting on me! I can't let her down!" Mal insisted, knocking Carlos on the head.

"We can do this..." Jay started.

"If we stick together." He finished with Hoopa.

"And we won't go back until we do." Mal agreed. "Because we're rotten."

"To the core." Evie, Jay, Hoopa, Carlos, Harold, Christine and I finished with Mal.

"Oh, yeah, I found out that Fairy Godmother blesses Ben with the wand at coronation and we all get to go." Evie remembered. "I have nothing to wear, of course."

Just then, there was a knock at the door. Mal looked at Evie strangely. "What?" The blue haired princess asked.

"Hold that thought," Mal said, getting up to answer the door. It was Ben.

"Hey, Mal." Ben greeted. "I didn't see you guys today, well, except Eleanor and Christine. I was just wondering if you had any questions or anything... That... you needed."

"Not that I know of." Mal replied, turning to look at us. We shook our heads.

"Ok." Ben replied. "All right. Well, uh, if you need anything, just, uh..." He started to walk away.

"Oh, wait!" Mal called. Ben turned back. "Is it true that we all get to go to your coronation?"

"Yeah," Ben replied. "The whole school goes."

"Wow." Mal replied. "That is beyond exciting. Do you think that it's a possibility that the seven of us, well eight if you count Hoopa floating above us, stand in the front row next to the Fairy Godmother, just to we could soak up all that goodness?"

"I wish you could. Up front it's just me, my folks, and my girlfriend." Ben apologized.

"And your girlfriend?" Mal asked.

"Yeah." Ben replied. "I'm sorry."

Soon, Mal shut the door. "I think it's time that Benny Boo got himself a new girlfriend." Mal decided. "And I need a love spell."

Carlos tossed Mal her spell book. It was time to move on to the next phase of our revenge plot.

That night, we were in the kitchen, looking through Mal's spell book. I was sitting on a counter between Jay and Carlos. To Carlos's right sat Christine. "All right. It says that we still need one tear and I never cry." Mal said as she stirred the batter.

"Let's just chop up some onions?" Carlos suggested, picking up an onion and putting an arm around Christine.

"No!" Mal barked. "It says that we need one tear of human sadness. And this love potion gets the best reviews, so we have to follow it exactly."

"A tear's a tear." Jay said as he wrapped his arm around my waist.

"That's not true, Jay." Evie reminded my boyfriend. "They both have antibodies and enzymes, but an emotional tear has more protein-based hormones than a reflex tear."

"Listen to you." Mal said mockingly.

"Yeah, I knew that." Jay bragged.

"Did not," Carlos said, getting off the counter to give Jay a smack on the shoulder.

"Yeah I did." Jay retorted.

The door opened and Lonnie entered. "There you are, Mal! I was looking for you."

Mal covered up the spell book.

"You know, all the girls want you to do their hair." Lonnie went on with a laugh. "Midnight snack, huh? What you guys making?"

"Nothing special, just cookies." Mal replied.

Lonnie dipped her finger into the batter and tasted it before we could stop her. "What?" She asked. "I'm not gonna double dip."

"Feel...anything?" Evie asked.

"Like maybe it might be missing something?" Mal added.

Jay took a closer look at Lonnie and let go of my waist. "Hey there." He said to her.

I began to cry as I ran into a secluded corner and sat down, drawing my knees up to my chest. Lonnie gave Jay a weird look before smiling awkwardly.

"No, it's not what..." Jay pleaded as he followed where I went. "Eleanor, my love, look at me."

I looked up at him, wiping my tears away. He pulled me into his arms and rocked me gently.

"I don't want her, Eleanor." Jay whispered soothingly into my ear. "I want you."

I still cried. Jay began to sing to me.

Jay: No more talk of darkness. Forget these wide-eyed fears. I'm here. Nothing can harm you. My words will warm and calm you. Let me be your freedom, let daylight dry your tears. I'm here, with you, beside you, to guard you and to guide you.

"Also, Chad hates me." I whispered. "He's gonna beat me up."

"As long as I'm with you, I won't let that happen." Jay reassured me. I sang back to him.

Eleanor: Say you'll love me every waking moment. Turn my head with talk of summertime. Say you'll need me with you now and always. Promise me that all you say is true. That's all I ask of you.

Jay: Let me be your shelter. Let me be your light. You're safe, no one will find you, your fears are far behind you.

Eleanor: All I want is freedom, a world with no more night, and you, always beside me, to hold me and to hide me.

Jay tightened his grip around me.

Jay: Then say you'll share with me one love, one lifetime. Let me lead you from your solitude.

I smiled and we sang together, our voices in perfect harmony.

Jay and Eleanor: Say you need me with you, here beside you. Anywhere you go, let me go too.

"Eleanor..." Jay whispered in my ear.

Jay: That's all I ask of you.

Eleanor: Say you'll share with me one love, one lifetime. Say the word and I will follow you.

Jay and Eleanor: Share each day with me, each night, each morning.

Eleanor: Say you love me... (Jay: You know I do...)

Jay and Eleanor: Love me. That's all I ask of you.

That made me feel better. Jay lifted my chin and pressed his lips against mine. I threw my arms around his neck and kissed him back. It got heated until we heard Evie call to us. "Jay! Eleanor!"

We pulled away. "We'll be right there!" Jay called. He kissed me again, this time it was with all the passion he could muster. We pulled back again.

Jay and Eleanor: Anywhere you go, let me go too. Love me, that's all I ask of you.

He kissed me once more before we went back to Evie and the others.

"It could use some chips." Lonnie suggested.

"Chips?" Jay repeated.

"And those are...?" Mal asked.

"Chocolate chips." Lonnie clarified. She took some out of the fridge. "Just... the most important food group. Wait, didn't your moms ever make you guys, like, chocolate chip cookies? Like, when you're feeling sad, and they're fresh from the oven, with a big old glass of milk, and she just makes you laugh and puts everything into perspective, and..."

I smiled sadly. "Mine and Christine's moms did. But their parents..."

Lonnie looked at Mal, Evie, Carlos, Harold and my boyfriend. "Why are you all looking at me like that?"

"It's just different where we're from." Mal replied.

"Yeah, I know." Lonnie responded. "I just, you know, I thought... Even villains love their kids."

Mal, Evie, Carlos, Hoopa and Jay frowned. Harold smiled sadly. I put my arm around my angel to comfort him and he kissed my head.

"Oh..." Lonnie realized. A tear of sadness fell down her cheek. "How awful..."

Mal saw the tear and snatched it, flicking it into the bowl. "Yeah, well, big bummer, but we have to get these into the oven, so thank you so much for coming by. Really, really. Have a good night!"

"I'll see you tomorrow!" Lonnie called.

"Evil dreams." Mal replied. She ordered Jay, Carlos and Evie to get the cookies into the oven.

The next day, I walked with Jay. We were going to give the cookie to Ben so he could dump Audrey for Mal.

"Are you feeling kind of weird about this?" Jay asked Mal. "I mean, it's not so bad here, you know?"

"Are you insane?" Mal snapped at me and Jay. "Long live evil! You're mean! You're awful! You're bad news!" She snapped her fingers in our faces. "Thanks, Mal." Jay praised Mal. "We needed that." I added.

Just then, we heard Audrey speak. "Do you think they actually paid for those?"

"Oh, hello, guys." I greeted some girls.

The girls walked over to us.

"Remember me? Princess Eleanor of Arendelle?"

"Hi, Ellie!" The girls greeted me.

"This is Jay, my boyfriend."

"You all going to the Tourney Game tonight?" Jay asked.

"Yeah," One girl replied.

"Keep an eye out for number 8, all right? Scoring the winning goal."

"Okay!" Another girl said.

We then went to eavesdrop on Audrey. "She did it to Jane's hair too and Fairy Godmother's not happy about it."

"What's the harm?" Ben asked.

"It's gateway magic." Audrey replied. "Sure, it starts with the hair. Next thing you know, it's the lips, and the legs, and the clothes and then everybody looks good, and then... where will I be?"

"Listen, Audrey..." Ben started.

"I will see you at the game after my dress-fitting for the coronation, okay?" Audrey finished.

"Ok." Ben replied.

"Bye, Benny Boo." Audrey said.

Just then, Mal closed her locker and spoke up. "Hey, Benny Boo."

"Hey." Ben replied.

Mal laughed. "I just made a batch of cookies. Double chocolate chip, you want one?"

"Oh, I, uh, I've got a big game." Ben replied. "I don't eat before a big game. But thank you so much. Thank you. Next time."

"No, yeah." Mal added. "I completely understand. 'Be careful of treats offered by kids of villains.' I'm sure every kid in Auradon knows that. I get it. You're cautious. That's smart. Oh well, more for me, I guess."

Before Mal put the cookie into her mouth, Ben grabbed it and took a bite. "See that? I totally trust you."

I looked at Jay. We smirked at each other. This phase of our revenge plot was becoming a success. Evie, Carlos and Christine were also watching closely.

"How are they?" Mal asked.

"They're good." Ben replied, still chewing on the cookie. "They're great. They're amazing."

"Eww, why is he talking with food in his mouth?" I whispered to Jay. "My mother always told me to never do that."

Jay put his arm around me as we waited for Ben to fall in love with Mal.

Ben swallowed his food and continued talking to Mal. "I mean, they're chewy, and you know, they... Is that walnuts? I love walnuts. They're really good. And the chocolate chips... They're warm, they're soft and they're sweet..."

Jay and I snuck up on Ben from behind.

"Mal, have you always had those little golden flecks in your eyes?"

Mal, realizing the spell worked, took the cookie and put it back in the bag. Jay put his hands on Ben's shoulders. "How you feeling, bro?" He asked.

"I feel like singing your name!" Ben exclaimed. "MAL!" Embarrassed, Mal muffled him.

A few hours later, we were down to the last part of the Tourney Game against the Sherwood Falcons.

"Get 'em, Chad!" Jay called.

"Thanks, Jay." Chad replied.

Jay then pulled Carlos up. "Coach, how about my buddy here?"

"Oh, no." Carlos insisted.

"Not so sure about that." Coach Jenkins replied.

"Coach, he's been practicing." Jay insisted.

"Jay..." Carlos began.

"And you said yourself a team is made up of a bunch of parts."

"Jay, I'm not that good..."

"Well, he's kind of like my brain." Jay put his arm around Carlos.

Coach Jenkins substituted a player for Carlos.

"Don't worry, bro, I've got your back." Jay clapped Carlos on his back.

"How about my front?" Carlos teased.

Upon the call, the game started. Jay took the lead and passed the ball to Ben. Carlos blocked the Falcons player with the shield, knocked him down and did an 'I win, you lose' dance in his face. Christine laughed hysterically.

Jay flipped and maneuvered, avoiding the bean bags shot at him by the Falcons shooter. Hoopa and I went wild.

Jay passed the ball to Ben and Chad blocked one of the Falcons players. Ben passed the ball back to Jay and he almost scored, but it was blocked by Philip, the Goal Keeper of the Falcons.

Hoopa clenched her fists. "Come on, Big Brother..."

Philip smacked the ball back and Jay got it and Chad blocked Harry, another Falcons player from getting to my boyfriend.

Hoopa and I made an '8' in the air.

Jay passed the ball to Ben. Meanwhile, the shield carrier of the Falcons knocked Carlos down as payback for the earlier knock-down.

Jay grabbed Carlos and pulled him up. They ran together before Jay hit the ball off Carlos's shield. Jay jumped over Carlos and passed the ball to Ben, who shot into the net and scored, winning the game.

The crowd exploded with cheers. Even the cheerleaders were going wild. Yes, me and Hoopa as well.

Ben took the microphone. "Excuse me, excuse me, can I have your attention please? There's something I'd like to say."

Everyone went silent. After a few moments, Ben spoke up again. "Give me an 'M'!"

"M!" Everyone called, making the letter with their hands. Hoopa and I did it too, alongside Audrey and the cheerleaders and tourney players.

"Give me an 'A'!" Ben called again.

"A!" Everyone repeated.

"Give me an 'L'!"

"L!" Everyone repeated. I could see the look of shock and embarrassment on Mal's face.

"What does that spell?" Ben hollered to the crowd.

"Mal!" Everyone shouted.

"Come on, I can't hear you!" Ben yelled.

"MAL!" Everyone shouted, louder.

"I love you, Mal!" Ben called. "Did I mention that?"

"Aww..." Everyone murmured.

Jay took the microphone. "And I love you, Eleanor."

The crowd 'aww'ed again.

Audrey let out a whine and ran off.

"Give me a beat!" Ben called to Doug.

"Whoo!" Doug called. "Uno, dos, tres, quatro!"

The marching band began playing an up-tempo beat.

I could hear Mal saying, "What was in that cookie?"

I went to dance with my cheerleader friends.

Ben: Did I mention that I'm in love with you, and did I mention there's nothing I can't do. And did I happen to say I dream of you every day, so let me

Ben and Girls: Shout it out loud!

Ben: If that's ok.

Girls: Hey!

Ben: If that's ok.

Everyone: Hey!

Ben and Jay: We've met these girls that rocked our worlds like they've never been rocked and we're living just for them and we won't ever stop.

Ben: I never thought that it could happen to a guy like me, but now look at what you've done, you got me down on my knees, because my love for you is ridiculous! I never knew...

Boys and Hoopa:Who knew?

Ben: That it could be like this. My love for you is

Ben and Everyone: Ridiculous!

Ben: My love is R-I-D-I-C-U-L-O-U-S!

Everyone: R-I-D-I-C-U-L-O-U-S!

Ben: It's...

Everyone: Ridiculous!

Ben: Just...

Everyone: Ridiculous!

Ben: And I would give my kingdom for just one kiss, but did I mention that I'm in love with you and did I mention there's nothing I can't do, and did I happen to say I dream of you every day, so let me

Ben and Girls: Shout it out loud!

Ben: If that's ok.

Everyone: Hey!

Ben: If that's ok.

Girls: Hey!

I went to dance with Jay. He twirled me around several times before I jumped onto his shoulders and he held me up as I raised my arms upward to resemble a 'V', while releasing several flurries of snow into the air.

Ben: I've gotta know which way to go, come on give me a sign. You gonna show me that you're only ever gonna be mine. Don't wanna go another minute living without you, 'cause if your heart just isn't in it, I don't know what I'd do, because my love for you is

Ben and Everyone: Ridiculous!

Ben: I never knew...

Boys and Hoopa:Who knew?

Ben: That it could be like this. My love for you is ridiculous! My love is R-I-D-I-C-U-L-O-U-S!

Everyone: R-I-D-I-C-U-L-O-U-S!

Ben: It's...

Everyone: Ridiculous!

Ben: Just...

Everyone: Ridiculous!

Ben: And I would give my kingdom for just one kiss, come on now!

Jay picked up Hoopa and threw her into the air before catching her. Ben threw his jersey to Mal and everyone went wild. He then crowd surfed into the stands over to Mal.

Ben: Because my love for you is

Everyone: Ridiculous!

Ben: I never knew...

Boys and Hoopa: Who knew?

Ben: That it could be like this. My love for you is ridiculous! My love is R-I-D-I-C-U-L-O-U-S!

Everyone: R-I-D-I-C-U-L-O-U-S!

Ben: It's...

Everyone: Ridiculous!

Ben: Just...

Everyone: Ridiculous!

Ben: And I would give my kingdom for just one kiss, come on now!

Ben decided to try and kiss Mal, but she blocked him with his jersey. Instead, Ben wrapped his arm around Mal. "I love you, Mal! Did I mention that?"

Audrey took the microphone. "Chad's my boyfriend now! And I'm going to the coronation with him, so I don't need your pity date." She then kissed Chad on the lips. I gasped. Poor Evie...

Ben took the microphone back. "Mal, will you go to the coronation with me?"

"Yes!" Mal shouted into the microphone.

"She said yes!" A joyful Ben shouted to the cheering crowd.

Then Jay took the microphone. "Eleanor, will you go out with me? On a date, and to the coronation?"

"Are you kidding me?! YES!" I cried with joy. Jay picked me up and twirled me around before crashing his lips into mine.

The crowd exploded with cheers once more. I could hear Hoopa yelling, "That's my brother! My brother! I love my brother!"

"ELEANOR, YOU ARE SO DEAD!" Audrey yelled.

Now Audrey hated me and wasn't my friend anymore... Because I was in love with a villain's kid. But there's more to worry about. What if Audrey found out about my cousin's romance with Carlos?

She'd hate Christine too...
