Chapter 5: Preparations

"I swear to God, Evie, if you stick me with another pin, I will tear this stupid shirt to shreds." whispered an angry Mal. The blue haired princess hummed in thought.

"You better not rip it. Maybe, if you stopped moving around so much, I wouldn't prick you!" The young witch groaned loudly at this, but nonetheless, did as she was told.

"This better be worth it. I already have to suck up to Ben's parents." she hissed as she was stuck with another pin.

More like try to not make a complete full of myself. She thought.

"At least you're dealing with the King and Queen. Eventually, me and Carlos will have to talk to Fairy Godmother herself." Evie explained.

"What do you think Jay wants to do? He hasn't really made an attempt to make a choice about staying here or going back." asked the young witch. The princess had finally finished with the last minute touches on Mal's suit jacket. She was going to have to pull some all-nighters with Carlos's and Jay's outfits. Those two had somehow always managed to escape her grasp-I mean measurement sessions.

"You know, I'm not completely sure. He probably feels like staying so he'll be able to flirt with Lonnie." she answered, a small giggle in her voice. Instead of laughing along with her, Mal's features were fixed with a worrisome look.

"Hey E… do you think we'll be able to pull this off? This whole thing is giving me a weird vibe." she said softly. Evie helped her best friend off of the little stool she had been standing on, and then pulled her into a slight hug.

"We have to pull it off, M. It's either this or they ship us back to the Isle. We don't have a choice." Mal rolled her green eyes at her friend.

"Right. Like how we didn't have a choice to steal the wand?" She was lightly shoved at the comment.

"Well, now we really don't have a choice. So put a smile on that face and let's get ready to go to class. I have to find away to kidnap-I mean borrow Carlos and Jay later on." Evie said with a bright smile. The purple haired girl merely shook her head.

"You know, you're a bit creepy when you do that." she said, a laugh in her voice.

"Hey Jay, how should I wear my hair for Family Day?" His highly athletic friend took one look at him and chuckled loudly.

"Bro, your hair stays in one place no matter what you do with it. I'm the one with a hair problem. I need to get that Laney girl to like me."

"You mean Lonnie?" Carlos replied.

"Yeah, her." The blonde haired boy then threw a pillow at his friend, nearly knocking him over. Jay was about to throw it back when instead he let out an exasperated sigh.

"Man… what am I gonna do? I've never done this before!" Carlos scratched his head in confusion as he realized that his friend was in need of help.

"Bro, what's so hard about it? You talk to girls all the time." Jafar's son looked at the boy, incredulously.

"I don't talk to girls. I just sorta… amuse them. And if it's so easy, then I'm guessing you already confessed to Jane?" De Vil couldn't help to blush slightly at the mention of the brunette.

"Well… the thing is… she's always so busy helping her mom and stuff…" he stammered. Jay had to keep himself from rolling his eyes.

"Why can't you just do what you normally do? This never bothered you before." Carlos asked finally.

"Well of course it hasn't. I don't really know those girls anyway." he replied honestly.

"Well, you don't know Lonnie. So how is this any different?" The long haired boy sighed heavily at this before he stood from his spot on his bed.

"I need to clear my head man. I'll see you later. Have fun with your hair problem." And on that note, he disappeared from the room. Carlos was now alone, with only thoughts regarding tomorrow's events on his mind.

I wonder if I'll have time to talk with Jane tomorrow? Should I come clean about the way I feel?

The VKs were slowly but surely settling in at Auradon. Over time, Carlos had realized this and had also realized that his attention was beginning to revolve around Fairy Godmother's daughter. Every time he closed his eyes he could see her vibrant blue eyes. They appeared to change in gradient depending on her mood and that by far had to be the best phenomenon Carlos has ever had the chance to witness.

As long as I make a good impression tomorrow, I'll have plenty of time to tell her.

With his mind made up, he gathered his things and headed for his first period class, with Dude in tow.

"Hey Lonnie, did you finish the head count for everyone attending Family Day? My mom wants to know so she can make sure she has enough tables and chairs available." The proud daughter of Mulan shook her head, waving her dark locks from side to side.

"No, not yet. I was going to do that during lunch, that way I know where everyone is. Did you ever decide if you wanted to bring a date, Jane?" The brunette nearly fell over from the question. Her cheeks burned a bright red when a certain dog loving villain kid emerged from her thoughts.

"N-No. Between helping my mom with all of the catering and organizing, I haven't had the time to consider bringing one. As if anyone would want to."

Jane and Lonnie have been roommates since their first years and though both were slightly opposed to it, they both eventually found a compromise. The belittling Audrey and her posse had mostly been the cause of them growing closer, but over the course of two years, the two founded a great friendship and have been that way ever since.

The girls simultaneously grabbed their books and started a slow walk in the direction of their classes.

"I don't know about that. Word on the wind says that a short blonde VK has the hots for you." Lonnie said with a small giggle. Jane cleared her throat when the blush on her face increased greatly and spread down to her neck.

"Speaking of the VKs… What about Jay?"

"Jay..?" Fairy Godmother's daughter rolled her eyes.

"Son of Jafar? The only other male VK in this school? Dreamy eyes and long luscious hair?" Lonnie's face was adorned with a thoughtful expression.

"Oh, him! Yeah he seems nice." she said, looking away slightly. Jane smiled at her, knowingly.

"Mhm, nice enough for you to ask to be your date on Family Day?" The young warrior gave her a strange look.

"Okay first of all, I don't even know the guy. Second of all, he's a thief and a con artist. And third of all, he looks like a total womanizer." It was at that moment, Jane stopped her roommate in order to explain.

"Don't be so hard on him, Lonnie. Carlos and Evie are really nice and you like them right?" Said girl nodded ever so slightly.

"Then why not give him a chance? He doesn't steal things, at least not anymore. And he's the star of the school's tourney team. Besides, he was totally checking you out on the field yesterday." Jane said, suggestively. Lonnie let out a dry laugh.

"Really? It looked like something spooked him when he went running off the field. I don't think I've ever seen someone run that fast." The short haired brunette's eyes widened suddenly.

"Wait so you saw him run off the field?"

"Um, yeah?" Lonnie replied.

"So that means… you knew he was watching you?" When Lonnie hesitated to answer, Jane knew she hit the nail on the head and flashed her a small smirk.

"Jane not one word." Jane only laughed knowing it was now Lonnie's turn for her face to be painted with a blush.

It was now lunchtime, and walking along the corridor towards the cafeteria were none other than the soon to be King and the Student Advisor.

"Hey Doug, have you seen Mal anywhere?" The boy clad in glasses shook her head.

"My guess is that she's with Evie in the courtyard. What's wrong? Can't go a day without seeing her?" Ben lightly pushed him at that and was quick to make a remark.

"Haha, you're one to talk. Last I checked, you and Evie were sucking each other's faces yesterday in the library." Ben laughed louder at the look on his friend's face and pat him on the back.

"Relax man. If anything, we both got it bad. It's something about those girls, huh?" Doug nodded in agreement.

"I bet they'll both look beautiful tomorrow for Family Day." Ben hummed in content as he imagined how Mal would look wearing a cute little dress. Technically, he had already seen her in a dress when they went on their first date. But he could tell she wasn't crazy about it.

"Whatever Mal wears, I know she'll look fantastic." Doug looked at him in response.

"Well, she kinda has to. You'll be introducing her to your parents tomorrow right? Do they already know?" Ben shook his head.

"So far, all they know is that Audrey and I are done. So this may end being pretty mind blowing for them." Doug shrug his shoulders.

"Hey, you're stronger than me. I don't think I'd ever have to courage to tell my parents or my six uncles that I'm dating the daughter of the Evil Queen." Ben gave him another pat on the back.

"All in due time, man. For now, let's just get through tomorrow."

"Agreed." On that note, both gentlemen proceeded to head outside and greet their wonderful girlfriends and the rest of the group.
