It couldn't be. Was she really here? Mal looked around her room, trying to find her mom. She went into the bathroom and checked in the shower.
"You idiot, I'm not in the shower," Maleficent said. "I'm in your head."
"What? How?" Mal asked, frightened by what her mother said.
"I'm speaking to you telepathically from my prison. Frightening, isn't it?" Maleficent asked.
"But I thought you no longer had magic," Mal said, not knowing where to look at.
"My magic was weak when I turned into a lizard, but now I've gained enough strength to speak to you," Maleficent replied.
"Why would you waste your magic on talking to me instead of using it to escape?" Mal asked.
There was a short amount of silence before Maleficent started speaking again.
"Because...I want to spend some time with my daughter...obviously," the evil fairy answered.
Mal sat on her bed, thinking she was dreaming. She pinched herself, but she didn't wake up. This was real. Her mother was speaking to her from her prison.
"So, I heard you've fallen in love with Jafar's son. James, is it?" Maleficent asked.
"Jay," Mal corrected. "And I'm not in love with him."
"Sure you're not. And you weren't just about to cry about how he's back together with Aurora's daughter," Maleficent stated sarcastically, making Mal frown.
"Seriously, Mal, you've gone soft since you came to Auradon," Maleficent added. "But I have an idea on how you can get Clay,"
"Jay," Mal corrected again.
"Whatever. Anyway, put a curse on the little brat who's dating him, and then he will be yours," Maleficent explained.
"I am not putting a curse on Audrey. And why do you suddenly want me to be in a relationship with someone?" Mal asked.
"Well, you were obviously a disappointment so I want a grandkid to train and be even more evil and successful than you," Maleficent answered.
"Gross, mom!" Mal exclaimed. She stood up and walked out the door in attempt to get away from her mom talking to her through her brain.
What she didn't know, was that her eyes glowed green for a split-second.

Evie sat on a bench in the courtyard, thinking things over. Earlier, Doug was talking about how he wants her to listen to her heart. He knew she liked Carlos and that Carlos liked her, thus leading to him breaking up with her. It wasn't all bad, though. Then he revealed he had a crush on Audrey. Evie asked why, stating that she was sassy and rude. Doug's response was that she was different and that she is good at heart. He was a little sad when she told him that Audrey got back together with Jay. Evie snapped out of her thoughts when she felt a hand on her shoulder. She gasped and turned to see who it was.
"Sorry, didn't mean to scare you," said the person.
Evie sighed. "It's fine, Carlos," she said.
"So," Carlos began, sitting down next to Evie with Dude hopping up to the other side of her. "I saw you talking to Doug earlier. What did he say?"
"He said that he can see we like each other and then he subtly broke up with me," Evie answered.
"Sorry?" Carlos said, but his statement sounded like a question.
Evie smiled, wanting to laugh at Carlos. She looked to her side and saw Dude sitting there next to her. She started petting him, Carlos watching her while thinking. Then, a thought popped into his head.
"Does this mean...we could be together?" Carlos asked, making Evie's head turn back to him.
"It does, but I don't think it's a good idea," she answered.
"Why not?" Carlos asked.
"I'm worried there would be too many problems that could come. Example: Lonnie," Evie said.
"But we could get through those problems easily, right?" Carlos asked with a small smile hoping to change her mind.
"I don't know, Carlos. I'll have to think about it," Evie replied. "Come on, Dude."
She stood up and walked back to her dorm with Dude following her.
"What? Dude! Come back here!" Carlos whined.
He stood up and went after the two. When he passed by the Tourney Field, he saw the cheerleaders were practicing. Audrey looked at him and called for a break. She walked towards him looking quite angry.
"Hey, Audrey," Carlos greeted.
Suddenly, Audrey slapped him. "Ow!" Carlos exclaimed in pain. He put his hand over his cheek.
"That's for breaking my best friend's heart," Audrey stated, referring to Lonnie.
She walked away, leaving Carlos confused and in pain.
I just HAD to add that last part in. Hey, so should Doug end up with Audrey? I want to know your guys' opinions because I don't want to have this pairing that you guys would complain about or not really like.
