A few hours later found night time settling in and the four VK's were sat in Evie's empty dorm room after dinner planning how best to get the wand. Evie's mirror had shown them Fairy Godmother's wand was in the museum and they had agreed to sneak out after curfew, break into the museum and take the wand back to their parents. "So were agreed on this plan?" Mal asked and the three other teens nodded to her. It was then they heard footsteps getting louder. "Crap!" Mal exclaimed as the four of them rushed to cover the papers and such that were detailing their plan.
They managed to gather everything and hide it in Evie's bedside cabinet just as the door opened to reveal a long blonde haired teen about Mal's height. "Oh!" She exclaimed in surprise at finding the four of them in the room. "Hi. Which one of you is Evie?" The blonde asked and smiled upon seeing the blue haired girl raise her hand. The four VK's watched as the girl pulled two keys out of her pocket before she separated them and held one towards her new room mate. "I'm Ellie. Here's your key to the dorm." She said smiling as Evie took the key from the blonde.
"Thanks. It's nice to meet you." Evie responded, placing the key on top of her bedside cabinet.
"How come you guys aren't getting ready?" Ellie asked the group causing them to exchange confused glances. "Ben didn't tell you did he?" She asked causing the four VK's to shake their heads at her. "Some of us have thrown organised a party for you to welcome you to Auradon in the cafeteria. He was supposed to tell you so you could get ready." The blonde explained to them.
"Okay, thanks." Evie responded. "We will meet you there once were ready." She told Ellie. The blonde teen nodded before leaving the room again. Once the door was closed Evie ran over to her wardrobe and pulled out four garment bags. She placed one on her bed before handing the others to Mal, Jay and Carlos. "Here, change into this." Evie stated as Mal took the bag. She shot the blue haired girl a skeptical look before opening the bag and finding a purple leather dress.
Mal couldn't help but scoff at the sight of the dress. She had no idea why Evie would make this for her since she point blank refused to wear dresses, the half fairy much prefared her black leather trousers and combat boots. "No. Not a frigging chance." Mal stated. "When did you even have a chance to make these?" She asked as she noticed the clothes Jay and Carlos had pulled from the bags they had been given.
"Last night." Evie answered her sister. "I thought we might need some clothes to help us fit in a little better until we could get the wand." She explained to her siblings.
The purple haired half fairy sighed at the same time Jay did but before either one could say anything Carlos spoke up. "She's right, guys." He said, agreeing with Evie. "We need to keep a low profile until we can get Fairy Godmother's wand. We can't do that if we turn up to the party in our Isle clothes."
"Fine." Mal reluctantly agreed but shared a pained look with Jay.
The long haired thief pulled Mal a little closer to him and turned away from the other two. "Don't worry Mal. We will make it interesting." He said showing her the flash he had hidden in his coat pocket. The two shared an evil smile with each other before Mal nodded her agreement to him. Jay may have just made this party the most amusing thing they would see while here in Auradon. She couldn't wait to see the Auradonian children, who likely had never drunk alcohol in their life, unknowingly getting drunk off their arses.
The two boys headed into the bathroom to change while the girls quickly changed into their dresses. Evie even persuaded Mal to allow her to curl her sister's purple hair. Within half an hour the four VK's were dressed and ready to attend this party. The half fairy would have much rather used tonight to get the wand but considering the party was being held for them, it would raise to much suspicion if they didn't go.
It took them about half an hour but they eventually found the cafeteria. Mal found herself smoothing down her dress, much to the amusement of her three siblings. For some reason the purple haired teen was nervous but she had no idea why. She quickly schooled her features and made her face appear neutral before leading the VK's into the room. The quartet were immediately greeted with cheers and they all noticed the large sign reading 'Welcome to Auradon Prep'. The four smile at the group of Auradon students gathered in the room, most looked rather happy but a few looked pissed. The four VK's noticed some kind of sound system in the far corner of the room and all the tables had been pushed against the walls to make room for everyone. They were all surprised by the amount of people that had turned up.
Bree noticed as soon as Mal walked into the room Ben's eyes didn't stray from her. Unfortunately the princess also saw Audrey had noticed who her brother's eyes had settled on and she wasn't looking pleased about it. Bree had never seen such hatred in the eyes of the girl before and she couldn't help but worry this would reflect how Mal would be treated by her. After all for the next few weeks her purple haired room mate had to 'work' for Audrey and her family. She knew Aurora would be fair no matter what but the same couldn't be said for Audrey and Leah. From the look in Ben's eyes though she knew it wouldn't take much for him to ask Mal out, she just had to get rid of the power hungry, prissy princess he was currently dating and give him a gently push towards the purple haired half fairy.
The brunette princess watched as Mal's eyes met Ben's briefly before she looked away. Bree quickly realized it would be Mal that would need the most convincing but decided to let it be for tonight. The royal siblings watched as the Auradon students went back to enjoying the party now the four VK's were there and the quartet who had just arrived headed to the punch bowl as Lonnie turned the music up. Mal poured the four of them a cup of punch after which Evie dragged Carlos off somewhere. Where the half fairy and thief didn't know but it provided them the perfect opportunity. Jay quickly poured the contents of the flask into the punch before the two turned to face the party. As the two turned around Bree and Ben finally tore their gaze away from the VK's and turned to talk to the people who were trying to get their attention.
It was then Mal noticed where Evie and Carlos had disappeared to. They where talking to a tall boy and a short brunette girl. Mal quickly deduced from her dress the short brunette was Fairy Godmother's daughter and she couldn't help but smile involuntarily at the way they were looking at each other. They seemed to be getting along quite well. Her gaze then left the two and she looked at Jay who was still stood beside her. Although his focus was on something else entirely. She looked in the same direction and immediately realized what he was staring at. Bree was stood a little bit away from Ben talking to Ellie, a tall, brunette, chinese girl and a tall brunette with golden/reddish highlights in her hair but Mal couldn't work out which one Jay was more interested in.
Not long after Jay walked over to a different group of girls and began dancing with them. Mal couldn't help but laugh at him, on the isle he had always flirted with the girls but they always shot him down. It seemed like these girls were eating it up but his gaze still kept flickering over to the four girls he was looking at earlier. The half fairy just wished she knew which one he was looking at.
As the party progresses Mal can't help but chuckle at the now obviously drunk teens. Even Evie and Carlos were tipsy now. There was only a hand full of still sober people. Mal was obviously one of them, Jay was still perfectly cober as well. There were two other teens who were sober, Ben and Bree, who had been drinking bottles of coke instead of the punch. Although Mal did notice the more drunk Audrey became the less she bothered with Ben and the more she flirted with Chad. The young half fairy couldn't help but be intrigued by Ben's lack of response on the matter though. Even Bree was glaring daggers at the prissy princess but Ben didn't seen to care.
After as while Bree tore her gaze from the annoying princess who was unworthy of dating her brother and she noticed Mal was sat off to the side of the room, alone. The anger left her eyes and was replaced with a mischievous glint. She quickly moved back over to her brother who was also stood by himself. Before she could even speak to Ben though he cut her off. "I don't want to talk about her, Bree." He told his sister while gesturing at his girlfriend who was flirting with his best friend.
Bree followed his hand gesture and her gaze once more settled on the princess who certainly didn't deserve someone like her brother. She couldn't help but growl at the girl as she flirted more intently with Chad. "It's not about her." Bree growled out before turning back to face her brother. "I was thinking maybe you should go sit with Mal. She looks lonely over there." The brunette princess told her brother. They both looked over to see the purple haired fairy sat sipping her drink looking around at everyone. Ben nodded to the long haired brunette before making his way over to the purplette sat across the room.
Mal for her part was lost in the process of people watching. She couldn't believe Audrey would treat Ben like that. She didn't know why but she felt like she knew Ben from somewhere and she knew he had a good heart. How the prissy princess could treat him like this she didn't know but she couldn't wait to use the annoying girl as target practice with me magic, what the brunette said to Evie earlier was still fresh in her memory. Her gaze fleeted around the room and settled on Evie who was still talking and laughing with the tall boy from earlier. The purple haired teen spotted Jay making his way towards her new room mate. She noticed Ben was moving away from his sister but she kept her gaze on her older brother. The purplette watched as she held his hand out to the brunette princess silently asking her to dance. Mal was sure her brother would get shot down so she was surprised when Bree nodded to the long haired thief, taking his outstretched hand and allowing him to lead her onto the makeshift dance floor. Smiling the half fairy then tried to find her younger brother in the crowded cafeteria but couldn't find him. As her eyes scanned the room she also noticed the daughter of Fairy Godmother was missing as well and she couldn't help but smile.
The half fairy hadn't noticed anyone had sat next to her until the person spoke causing her to jump slightly. "How come your sat here by yourself?" Ben asked. She turned to face him and for a second she forgot they were at a party surrounded by others, much like earlier when they had first met. Only this time she was the one to break their locked gaze.
"I'm not really a fan of parties." Mal admitted to the soon to be king. "People tend to avoid me thanks to my mother." She said. She had no idea why she had just admitted that to him, it had just slipped out. But somehow she found she didn't really regret telling him. It was like a part of her knew she could trust him even though she really didn't want to trust him.
"Well, maybe it'll be different now you're here." The teen prince told her. He had to admit this had been a worry of his when he had spoken to his twin sister about bringing the Isle children over, that people would treat them different and alienate them because of what their parents did. Bree had pursuaded him things would be fine but after what happened between Mal and Audrey earlier he was more skeptical them ever.
"Maybe." The half fairy responded. It was strange but she had felt more at ease in the last few minutes sitting here and talking with Ben then she had since she walked into the party hours ago. She didn't even know how long they had been there since there wasn't a clock in the room and she didn't have a watch or phone. Mal noticed Ben was about to speak again but he was cut off by the doors of the cafeteria opening.
Both Ben and Mal turned to find Fairy Godmother had just walked in. "Children. Children!" She called over the music and Lonnie cut the music, causing all attention to turn to the older fairy stood in the door way. "I know it's Saturday night and you're all having a good time but it's past midnight and well past curfew. Time to head back to your dorms." She told them all and everyone immediately started to leave.
"I better go make sure Jay and Carlos know their way back to the dorms." Ben said to the purple haired teen. Mal simply nodded to him, having seen Evie and Bree walking her way. "Maybe we could talk some more tomorrow?" He asked her. They hadn't been talking for long but the young prince found he was quite comfortable in her presence and enjoyed talking to her.
"Sure." Mal promised him before he left and she stood as her sister and room mate came beside her. She smiled at them before heading off. They passed Jay and Ben, and Mal overheard her brother telling the prince Carlos had already gone back to his dorm. Maybe Mal had been wrong and her brother was simply tired and headed for an early night. She shrugged it off as her, Evie and Bree passed Fairy Godmother who was waiting in the doorway while everyone headed off to bed. Mal just hoped she and the others could pull their plan off tomorrow for the wand, she didn't want to stay here longer then necessary. The longer she was here the more likely it was she would have to meet Aurora and the rest of the family, not to mention having to deal with the prissy pink princess known as Audrey.
Author's Note: So I am thinking of having a romantic interest in the works for Bree but I'm unsure who it should be, what do you guys think? Jay? Chad? An OC? I hope you like this chapter. Please review and let me know what you think x
