Hey Guys! Welcome back for another chapter. I definitely needed a break did not do fabulous on the exam but its college algebra so I don't care cause Im still passing the class. I better be after a 36 question hw.. anyway!
Here the chapter!
"Okay. It says we still need one tear and I never cry." Mal said checking her spell book and she mixed up the spell. I sat on one counter near her. Evie was helping her while Jay and Carlos sat on the counter across from me.
"Let's just chop up some onions." Carlos said grabbing an onion from beside him. I smirked at Dude sitting with him, Glad he finally got over his fear, at least a little.
"No, 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." Mal said as she checked the book.
"A tear is a tear." Jay said gesturing a hand out annoyed.
"That's not true Jay. They both have antibodies and enzymes but an emotional tear has more protein based hormones than a reflex tear." Evie said looking over to Jay as she handed mal an Ingredient she needed. I smirked in pride at her, she was incredibly smart when she wanted to be.
"Listen to you." I said and she smiled at me beaming with pride. I chuckled hearing the boys have a little argument. The door opened and I turned my head suddenly but relaxed seeing Lonnie, we could put this off easily and making cookies.
"There you are Mal. I was looking for you. You know all the girls want you to do their hair!" She said walking up to us. She glanced down at what Mal was doing and I noticed the Spell book was now covered by a rag. Good, if we wanted to play this off she couldn't see that.
"Midnight Snack huh? What you guys making?" Lonnie asked leaning closer to see what she was doing.
"Nothing special. Just cookies." I told her and she smiled moving her finger to take a bit. Mal and Evie tried to stop her and she tasted it. We hadn't put everything in it so it was unlikely it would have any effect. I still laughed when Jay tried to be the object of her affection only for her to disregard him.
"It could use some chips." She shrugged and moved to the fridge. Chips? Like chocolate chips? I know Auradon had more stuff than us on the Isle but did the school just have chocolate chips for the students? Jay questioned her not knowing what she was talking about and the others didn't either.
"Chocolate chips. Just the most important food group. Wait didn't your moms ever make you guys like chocolate chips cookies?" Lonnie walked back over and added some to the batter over the counter. We all looked at her, the others wondering what she meant and I wished I could recall those memories much better than I could.
"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 why are you all looking at me like that?" Lonnie spoke looking at all of us. The others had looks on their faces like they wanted what she described. I wanted it back.
"It's just different where were from." Mal told her and stirred the chips into the batter.
"Well yeah I know that. I just figured even Villains love their kids? Gabi?" Lonnie looked to me and so did the others.
"Once I was old enough to take care of myself that's what I did. And my mom died right when I was old enough so any comfort like that left with her." I said leaning my head against the metal bar near my head. Lonnie looked at me heartbroken and glanced around at the others.
"Oh… How awful." Lonnie said touching Mal`s hand as tears ran down her face. Mal moved her hand to swipe a tear and flicked it into the batter.
"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 goodnight." Mal said pushing Lonnie out and Evie took over stirring. Once Lonnie was out Mal looked at me.
"Why don't you go get some sleep. We can finish up here okay?" She offered and I nodded jumping down. I didn't talk about my mom much. They knew my childhood was closer to what Auradon kids had than they did. But they also knew that died and was buried with my mother. That my entire life had changed and suddenly I had to grow up way to fast to make up for her being gone, Gaston didn't care I had just lost my mother. I walked out and started towards our room. I fingered the last gift she gave me, my necklace, I almost never took it off. No one said anything if they noticed. They all knew about the day suddenly there was one less woman around Gaston and his children.
I blew hair out of my eyes and stood up leaving the classroom. French was such a boring class for me. Sure, it was amusing when people messed up and the Teacher made me say it correctly to try and give me a reason to not laugh. Only to find out I could say it perfectly and with an accent.
"Ah! Mon trésor!" I turned to see Leon jog up to me smiling.
"Yeah?" I questioned him wondering what he wanted, I just saw him in class earlier.
"I wanted to check and make sure you`re okay in your new classes." I blinked at his words and nodded.
"Yeah I`m fine. Im actually getting a challenge now. "I told him and his smile widened.
"That's great! Do you have any questions about anything or need any help with something?" He asked and I bit the inside of my cheek debating on if to ask about who Ben`s family was. I didn't feel like running into anyone can causing a scene to early at the coronation.
"Actually I do have a question. Ben said that is family will be front row of the coronation. That obviously includes his parents and im assuming his grandfather. But is there anyone else. Cause yah know family history?" I questioned an Leon blinked.
"Yeah there is. My parents and sisters. Along with Cogsworth, and Chip. But you don't have to worry. They know you arent your father. They actually want to meet you eventually." He assured me and I rose a brow. They actually wanted to meet me? Why?
"MAL!" I turned my head hearing a voice sing Mal`s name suddenly.
"That was Ben." I cast my gaze to Leon who looked shocked. He must have eaten the cookie, and it made him sing her name? Oh, this was going to be fun. I jogged to the sound along with Leon and stopped seeing Mal covering Ben`s mouth with her hand. Leon, Jay and Carlos left with Ben and I laughed covering my mouth. Evie and Mal started laughing too.
"Oh yeah! I found out that Leon is considered family to Ben and will be up front during the coronation too." I told Mal and Evie who smirked at me.
"Well I guess it's time he got a girlfriend or a new one." Mal said smirking.
"Leon, right?" Evie said and I nodded. She looked after him and I heard someone clear their throat.
"He doesn't have a girlfriend. And he never dates the ones he had for more than a month" I turned to see Doug and smirked at his tone. He liked Evie, no surprise there.
"And no royal blood, Crown." I told her and she pouted slightly. Mal smirked at me and I sighed. Guess I would have to try and be his date to the coronation, I didn't feel like ruining Evie`s plans of getting with a Prince, it was something she's dreamed about for years I couldn't do that to her.
I stood in the bleachers next to Mal, Evie and Lonnie watching the Game. It was tied 2-2 and the game was almost over. I saw the coach turn to Jay and smirked. Oh, the other team wouldn't know what hit `em. We clapped when they brought Jay and Carlos in and I cheered. I watched as they played and felt Lonnie grab my arm as she watched. I groaned when Jay`s shot was blocked and saw them move past the kill zone on the field. Jay caught the next ball by jumping into the air. I say Jay use Carlos as a shield through the Kill zone and chuckled. Carlos made the Ball knock of his shield and Lonnie gripped my arm tighter. I saw Leon knock the ball to Jay who knocked it to Ben who scored. We all cheered as the timer ran out. Jay pulled Carlos and Ben into slight headlocks and Ben grabbed Leon pulling him into the same fate. I turned my gaze and saw Mal covering her ears and chuckled. The team came up and Ben grabbed the Mic from the announcer calling everyone`s attention. He climbed up onto the post where the `dragon fire` came from.
"Give me an `M`!" He called making the `m` with his arms. I covered my mouth holding back laughter as everyone did it.
"Give me an `A`!"
"Give me an `L`"
"What does that spell?" Ben called out to everyone and I smirked turning to Mal grabbing her arm.
"Mal!" Everyone called and I said it teasingly. She glared at me but there was no heat behind it. I laughed and turned back to look at Ben. We repeated it on Ben`s request and I saw Audrey look at Ben confused.
"I love you Mal. Did I mention that?" I laughed and saw Audrey run off. Maybe if I liked her I would care, but since I don't it doesn't matter.
"Give me a beat!" Ben called to the band and I turned to Mal wide eyed.
"Oh My God Cookie." Evie spoke as the music started to play and Ben started to dance a little.
"What was in that cookie?" I asked Mal who laughed along with Evie.
Did I mention
That I'm in love with you
And did I mention
There's nothing I can do?
And did I happen to say
I dream of you every day
So let me shout it out loud
If that's okay
Ben danced a little on the stand before jumping down and staring directly at Mal. All the tourney players started to dance behind him including Jay, Carlos and Leon.
(HEY)
If that's okay
(HEY)
I met a girl who rocked
My world like it's never been rocked
And now I'm living just for her
And I won't ever
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
Jay brought over the Mic stand and the players followed Ben`s lead with the dance and All fell the ground when Ben landed on his knees. He then flipped on his back and I covered my mouth laughing.
'Cause my love for you is
RIDICULOUS
I never knew (Who knew?)
That it could be like this
Ben was helped up by Jay and Carlos before he moved the mic stand and placed the mic on singing from there. Everyone was joining in but another voice sounded louder and I looked to see Leon with a Mic, don't know where he got it though. But he seemed to just be supporting Ben.
My love for you is
RIDICULOUS
My love is R-I-D-I-C-U-L-O-U-S
R-I-D-I-C-U-L-O-U-S
Jay held the mic stand as ben made the letters with his body as the players danced behind him. Leon sang but seemed to be keeping with the players rather than Ben himself. Then Leon and the rest of the players did the letters when the crowd repeated the spelling of the word.
It's RIDICULOUS
Just RIDICULOUS
And I would give my kingdom
For just one kiss, c'mon
Ben blew a kiss to Mal and I sent her a teasing smirk joining in on singing the song like Evie.
Did I mention
That I'm in love with you
And did I mention
There's nothing I can do
Ben held the mic stand at an angle as he walked in a line made of the players, he was still looking straight at Mal, which probably wasn't hard as everyone else but me was in Blue and yellow, minus Yellow for Evie.
And did I happen to say
I dream of you every day?
So let me shout it out loud
If that's okay
Ben dipped the mic down the opposite way before coming back to stand with the stand leaning somewhat forward pointing at Mal as he sang.
If that's okay
Ben pulled the mic off and was lowering himself to the ground without actually touching it before lifting himself up again and dancing with the mic back on the stand.
I gotta know which way to go
C'mon, give me a sign
You gonna show me that you're
Only ever gonna be mine
Don't wanna go another minute
Bein' without you
'Cause if your heart just isn't in it
I don't know what I'd do
Ben sang before one again pulling the mic loose and fall backwards only for the team to catch him and push him throw him back up before going back to the dancing they were doing. The cheerleaders apparently as well, I guess I wasn't paying attention to them once Audrey left. Leon moved to stand beside Ben.
Because my love for you is RIDICULOUS
I never knew (Who knew?)
That it could be like this
My love for you is RIDICULOUS
Mal covered her mouth in shock and I grabbed her Mal shaking her slightly smiling at her.
My love is R-I-D-I-C-U-L-O-U-S
R-I-D-I-C-U-L-O-U-S
It's RIDICULOUS
Just RIDICULOUS
Yet again they made the letters with their bodies however this time Leon was with Ben and not the team.
And I would give my kingdom
For just one kiss
C'mon now!
Hey!
Oh yeah! Hey!
Yow!
Alright! (Hey)
Alright! (Hey)
Ben pulled off his jersey and threw it into the stands for Mal to catch, which she did. I laughed and cheered singing the song again.
Because my love for you is RIDICULOUS
I never knew (Who knew?)
That it could be like this
My love for you is RIDICULOUS
I laughed when Ben climbed onto the Horse mascot and started riding them. Leon was in front of Ben singing as well and dancing as he walked in front of the mascot. Carlos was with him and the rest of the team behind along with the cheerleaders. Ben then fell back for the Male cheerleaders to catch him and lift him up into the air.
My love is R-I-D-I-C-U-L-O-U-S
R-I-D-I-C-U-L-O-U-S
It's RIDICULOUS
Just RIDICULOUS
The cheerleaders threw him into the crowd where he surfed to get to Mal. Mal moved back into Evie and I chuckled stepping out of the way.
And I would give my kingdom
For just one kiss
C'MON NOW
Ben reached us and went close to Mal. He tried to kiss her but she blocked him and ducked slightly. Instead he hugged her close.
"I love you Mal. Did I mention that?" Ben said and I saw Audrey with Chad. She stole the mic and claimed him to be her new boyfriend and kissed him. I grabbed Evie`s hand and gave her a sad look.
"MAL! Will you go to the coronation with me?" Ben asked stealing the mic back. Mal pulled it to her.
"Yes." She answered and everyone cheered and Audrey stormed off.
Jay and Luc came up to get Ben down so the team could celebrate and I laughed. Leon looked to me and tossed his jersey at me. I caught it staring at him and he smirked before leading Ben down to the team. Lonnie gasped and grabbed my arm squealing. Claiming that Leon had never given any girl his jersey before. Mal and I looked to Evie and I moved to stand beside her.
"I feel really sorry for Audrey." Mal said and Evie seemed confused as she stared after where Audrey and Chad has left.
"Yeah, I feel like if she were talented like you and knew how to sew and knew beauty tips, that she wouldn't need a prince to make her feel better about herself." I said and squeezed Evie`s hand.
"I guess I am kind of talented." Evie said and squeezed my hand beck.
"You are definitely gifted." Mal said and Evie smiled at us.
"Thanks M, and Roses." Evie said and we laughed before hearing Jay shout. We turned to see him being hoisted up by the team holding a trophy. Most Valuable Player huh? I smiled and put my hands around my mouth to make my voice louder as I cheered for him. He pointed at us and I clapped for him.
Hope you guys enjoyed the chapter. And ill see you next week!
