It was the teens second day at Auradon Prep. The group was walking out to their lockers. When some girls acknowledge Mal and praised her for the hair trick.
"Are you feeling kind of weird about this? I mean, It's not so bad here, you know." Jay said, the group looked at Jay like he was insane.
"Are you insane? Long live evil! You're mean! You're awful! You're bad news! Snap out of it!" Mal snapped her fingers in front of her face.
"Thanks, Mal. I needed that." Jay thanked her and turned to talk to the girls below at a picnic table.
"Do you think they actually paid for those? They did it to Jane's hair, too, and fairy godmother's not happy about it." Audrey told Ben while they were standing by their lockers.
"What's the harm?" Ben asked her.
"It's gateway magic. 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?" Audrey asked Ben.
"Listen Audrey…" Ben began.
"I will see you at the game after my dress fitting for the coronation, okay?" Audrey told him. Ben nodded.
"Bye Benny Boo!" Audrey exclaimed and left.
"Bye." Ben said and closed his locker.
"Hey Benny Boo!" Mal teased.
"Hey Mal, Felicia, Evie." Ben greeted.
"We just made a batch of cookies. Double chocolate chip, do you want one?" Mal asked Ben.
"Oh, I, uh, I've got a big game. I don't eat before a big game. But thank you so, so much. Thank you next time." Ben explained. Mal frowned and Felicia spoke up.
"Yeah next time…" Felicia started sadly. "We completely understand. Important rule in Auradon, 'Be careful of treats offered by kids of villains'" she finished. Ben tried objecting.
"I get it. You're cautious. That's smart. Oh, well, more for me, I guess." Mal stated and brought the cookie up to her mouth but Ben took it from her and took a bite.
"See that? Totally trust you. Totally." Ben said with a mouthful of cookie.
"How are they?" Mal asked him.
"They're good. They're great! They're amazing! They're, uh... I mean, they're chewy and, and you know, they... is that walnuts? I love walnuts. I mean, uh, you know, the... The chocolate... The... the chocolate... The chocolate chips are... I'm sorry. Um... Uh, they're... They're warm and soft. And they're sweet... Mal, have you always had those little golden flecks in your eyes?" He uttered. He went for another bite but Evie took it away from him and put it in a plastic bag, she handed it to Carlos. Carlos whistled because he took such a big bite.
"How you feelin' bro?" Jay asked Ben.
"I feel… I feel… like singing your name. Mal…" He started but Felicia covered his mouth.
Mal and Evie were on the bleachers cheering on Carlos, Ben and Jay. Lonnie was standing next to them too. Felicia was with the cheerleaders, who were on the side doing various tricks. Carlos was sitting on the bench with Jay on one side and Chad on the other.
"This is a nail biter, folks. There's 47 seconds left on the clock. We're all tied up. The Sherwood falcons, two. The fighting knights, two. What a game between Auradon's fiercest rivals." The announcer called.
"Chad! You are up." Coach Jenkins yelled.
"Get em Chad." Jay encouraged.
"Thanks Jay." Chad admitted. Chad ran out to the field.
"The teams get into their huddles and take up positions along the kill zone." the announcer began.
"Akiho!" Coach Jenkins yelled. Akiho looked up and ran to the side of the field.
"The dragoneers have been laying down a withering hail of fire." The announcer continued.
"Jay your up." Jenkins demanded.
"Coach, how about my buddy here?" Jay asked.
"Oh no." Carlos mumbled.
"Not sure that is the best idea." Coach stated.
"He's been practicing. And you said yourself a team is made up of a bunch of parts." Jay reminded.
"Jay I am not that good." Carlos reassured him.
"Well he is like my brain." Jay told the coach. The coach nodded and called another player off the team.
"Don't worry bro, I got your back." Jay reassured Carlos.
"How about my front?" Carlos asked.
"Pfft. Get out there." Jay demanded and the two boys went out to the Field.
"He's bringing that hothead Jay in from the isle of the lost and that little guy Carlos can barely hold a shield. When they break from their huddles, this is gonna be a big moment here. And the tipoff is ready. Here we go. Long pass goes to Jay. Jay dishes off to prince Ben. Nice little block by Carlos. He does a little dancing jig in his opponent's face. And now Jay gets the ball back. Here comes Jay! Jay, hurdling maneuver at mid field. Jay makes a nice pass to prince Ben through the kill zone. Big block by Chad! Prince Ben moves over wide, gives it back to Jay. He's in the clear! Shot! Oh, what a save by Philip the falcons' goalkeeper! Time out. 23 seconds left. You could cut the tension with a sword. The long ball is played into Jay. Jay, great jump, great leap. And a great move by Jay. Big block from Chad. Jay dishes off to prince Ben. And then Carlos with a big block, goes down. Jay through the kill zone, picks up Carlos. Oh, he's being hammered by dragon fire. Still, going on. Jay, hurdling maneuver at mid field. He's in the clear. The ball goes back to Jay. He passes to prince Ben. He scores! Prince Ben has won it! What an unselfish play by Jay! What a team! Incredible! And It's the new guys, Jay and Carlos, who set up the prince for the win here. What a victory! An absolutely wonderful end to one of the best games ever. Here they come, folks. The winners of the first tourn…" The announcer called. Ben took the microphone from the announcer and turned to the crowd.
"Excuse me. Can I have your attention, please? There's something I'd like to say. Give me an "M"!" Ben yeled.
"M!" The crowd yelled.
"Give me a A!" Ben yelled.
"A!" the crowd yelled.
"Give me an L!" Ben yelled.
"L!" THe crowd yelled.
"What's that spell?" Ben asked the crowd.
"Mal." They responded.
"I can't hear you." Ben replied.
"Mal!" The crowd yelled. Audrey stormed off angry, Felicia saw this and laughed.
"I love you Mal, did I mention that? Give me a beat!" He spoke
"Uno, dos, tres, quatro." Doug yelled to the band
"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 Well, let me shout it out loud If that's okay, hey, hey Hey!

Audrey stormed up pulling Chad along with her.
"Chad's my new boyfriend now. And we are going to the coronation together." Audrey announced. Ben turned to Mal
"Mal will you go to the coronation with me?" Ben asked her.
"Yes!" Mal screamed.
"She said yes!" Ben told the crowd.
"Ben let's go!" Coach Jenkins yelled. Mostly everyone left except for the teen girls. Felicia walked over to Mal and Evie. Evie was sad because she likes Chad.
"I feel really sorry for Audrey." Mal stated.
"You do?" Evie asked.
"Yeah. I feel like If she were talented like you, and she knew how to sew and knew beauty tips, that she wouldn't need a prince to make her feel better about herself." Mal reassured Evie.
"I guess I am kind of talented." Evie agreed.
"Yes you are." Felicia agreed.
"Thanks." Everyone left and went back to their dorms for the night.
