Note: Yesterday, greatly, I have done THREE chapters for the fanfic! Today I might do two or another three, since we're reaching the near end of Season 1 (Part 1: Times in Auradon)! Also, this features references to both Rush Hour 1 & 2, as well as an Angry Grandpa video. And lastly, instead of this chapter that takes place the next day with the cheerleading practice, I decided to do a celebration day that shows

EPISODE X: Starlight Spirit Day

The next day, was a celebration day since last night's musical performance. There was music, makeup, fun and even Sage, Mal, Evie, Leona and Libby were walking to their friends Audrey, Scarlet and Vega, which the former was setting up a cheerleader practice, with Scarlet and Vega wearing a fanatic butch and femme apparel, respectively, as well as Ben, Astra, Piper, Clover, Cassie, Gemma, Jay, Carlos, Adora and Tessa sitting on the bleachers.

"We can't believe we let you guys talk me into doing this.", commented Mal.

Sage, with her lavender and purple paint stripes on her face cheeks, cheers up, "Oh, come on, Mal. Let's not overreact. Last night's performance was so popular we were given a celebration for us starlings! Can this day get even better?"

"What happened to 'Sure, best friends. Anything for you guys.'?", asked Evie, still happy.

Leona and Libby also includes, with yellow and light-blue paint stripes on Leona's face as well as pink and blue paint stripes on Libby's face cheeks, "We don't know. There's no problem about any about it. Any other facts?"

"That was before we know it would involve pompoms.", Sage and Mal said.

Evie, Leona and Libby then said, "Forget about the pompoms and focus on the super awesome outfit we made."

"It is pretty wicked and astronomical, isn't it? I think that all cheerleading outfits should have spikes.", Mal said about the cheerleading Auradon Prep outfit.

Sage agrees, "Yeah. Add some glitter and fixer-upper to it too a bit."

"Wow! You look great! I'm so glad you're doing this.", Ben, Piper, Clover and Astra gladly said, Piper having light-blue and purple pawprint paint on her cheeks, Clover having purple and pink circle paint on her cheeks as well, and Astra having red and yellow paint on her whole face, the latter fist-bumping Sage.

Sage and Mal agree, "You know us, anything to know our school spirit on this celebration party day."

"Great thing too that there's going to be a lot of fun activities at the nearby carnival today.", Cassie and Gemma smiled, Cassie having white and light-blue paint stripes on her face cheeks and Gemma having orange and yellow pawprint paint on her cheeks too.

Adora and Tessa, with half of their faces respectfully painted green and light blue, were heard cheering, "STARLIGHT SPIRIT DAY! WOO!"

"Does Starlight Spirit Day involve hitting people?", asked Jay, who comes over.

Ben answers, "No."

"Stealing?"

"No. But feel free to put these ideas in the suggestion box."

"Will do!", Jay said, as he went off.

Adora in the meantime, pulls out a Mountain Dew Revolution drink, as Tessa tries to get it, causing a tug of war over the drink, humorously. The problem was solved when Sage pulled out a Mountain Dew for Tessa, as Tessa grabs this instead, which Adora and Tessa were happy about with their drinks for Starlight Spirit Day.

"So, you have a suggestion box?", asks Sage and Mal.

Ben told the two, "Nope."

"You lied to keep them from bugging you?", the two heroines then said, the latter including, "Our friends never bug you too much. Those boys are actually such pals."

The AK thinks of something, "Well, I-"

"We have never been more into you.", Sage and Mal said to him, the former saying, "Well, after all, Mal is your love."

Ben replies, chuckling, "Okay. I'll see you out there. I'll be on the bleachers though."

"Wow, he sure has a heart of gold.", Astra comments to Sage, Piper and Clover at the time in love with each other.

Audrey as well as Scarlet and Vega, the two latter wearing blue and magenta-black paint stripes on their cheeks and a pink heart-shaped paint on their foreheads, as a sign of love, comes over, the former instructing, "So you guys know the cheer...", giving the two VKs and twelve starlings paper for the cheerleader practice.

"You just gave it to us.", Mal and Sage said to Audrey.

The daughter of Sleeping Beauty said, "Everyone knows the cheer. We do it every year!"

"For Starlight Spirit Day? I can't hear you, we've never done cheerleading before.", Sage jokes with the AK.

Audrey questions, "Do you get it? Just do your best in cheerleading and follow the cheer. Got it, girls?", as the two VKs and twelve starlings jokingly nod no and don't answer, before she sighs and then says, "Do you understand the words that are coming out of my mouth? Cheerleading! STARLIGHT SPIRIT DAY! DOES IT RING A BELL?!", out loud towards the fourteen.

"Okay, okay! We're just kidding with you. Of course we want to do cheerleading. Sorry to make you feel so angry.", Sage says as she, Mal, Libby, Evie and her friends were just kidding.

Audrey said, "Great. Sorry 'bout that.", before she starts off the cheerleading practice. "F-I-G-H-T, what's that spell? Fight, fight, fight!"

"Is it just us, or-", asked Leona, Libby and Evie to Sage and Mal.

Mal resembled, "Does this cheer sound exactly like that spell like my mom used to say to use when we were kids?"

"Honestly, we believe that's true.", Sage supposed.

The daughter of Maleficent asks, "How did that go?"

"Perhaps an extended version of the Fight cheerleading chant? Let's give it a shot.", said Sage, as she and Mal get an idea.

They both say, "B-I-T-E, what does that spell?"

"Bite, bite, bite!", Leona, Evie and Libby cheered.

The two VKs and twelve starlings then said as the latter twelve do a cheerleader stunt, "Speak no words will cause a fright," before the latter twelve starlings pause to think something is wrong with this cheer (spell), as Mal and Evie finish their spell, "What's a bark without a bite?"

After two green clouds of magic appear on Mal and Evie, the twelve starlings gasp when the next thing Mal was going to say, was literally a bark.

"Uh, Mal? You don't sound so good.", Sage worried, as Mal was startled by this, as after she tries to talk but woofs again, she covers her mouth in shock. "Oh no! That cheering spell must've affected Mal and Evie, but not us because we didn't finish that cheer. We knew something was wrong with that!"

Evie also cannot talk but bark because of this spell, as Libby said, "OMS, we got to get you guys help! We know! Carlos! Maybe he can help!", she said as Sage led Mal, and Libby led the other Star Darlings.

"Carlos! Do you understand the words that are coming out of her mouth?", Scarlet said to Carlos as Mal and the twelve starlings came over to him.

The son of Cruella De Vil answered immediately, "Yeah, I do understand the words that are coming out of her mouth, yes. Mal, you accidentally turned everyone into dogs and you guys want me to help you use your spell book to reverse it?"

"Well, not in body form, but their language.", corrects Vega, as Mal woofs three times as an answer.

Carlos then translates Mal's dog language, "Again, of course I speak dog, I'm Cruella's son, but why don't you just spell them back?"

"Because we need your help, and we starlings don't wanna do those kinds of spell often...", Leona said to the boy as Mal growls in anger.

The VK boy then responds, "Right. You can't because all you can do is bark. And you starlings can't because you don't want to do spells."

"That is because we have our own positive wish energy that provides all of us, including you guys. Oh, we really hope Mal and Evie are only the actually the only ones affected with this-", hoped Sage, as she, the starlings and Carlos hear a woof, seeing that Ben, Jay and Audrey were also affected by the spell, as they were seen with Evie on the bleachers except for Jay, who is acting like a dog.

Carlos laughs and apologizes, "Sorry girls, but opportunities like this don't happen every day.", as he goes to Jay, the starlings looking while Mal woofs several times. "Hey, Jay. Roll over!", he says, as the son of Jafar rolls over whilst affected by the dog spell, as Carlos continued, "Play dead!", to the other male VK as he plays dead too, as Carlos said, "This has to go on record!", taking a picture of Jay playing dead while acting like a dog, as well as Jay begging whilst affected by the spell and a last one with him scratching with his boot to help with an itch.

"Really, Carlos? Really?", Adora and Tessa question, unsatisfied.

Sage asks him once more, "Now, can you help us reverse this spell?", as Mal woofs a few times as the girls had come over to him.

"Down, girl. Heel.", played along Carlos.

The twelve starlings said to him as Mal growls again, "Do it!"

"Fine. Give me the spell book.", the son of Cruella finally gets to it.

Libby and Leona thanks, "Thank you.", nodding with the other ten girls, while Mal gives Carlos the spell book. The boy opens it, while Mal barks a bit for support.

"Page 43, isn't it?", Carlos asks.

Scarlet and Vega answer, "Yes! That must be the one!"

"Here it is. Bark, woof, bark, bow-wow, bark, grr!", read the VK boy.

Sage snaps her fingers, "Now's your chance! Repeat after that!"

"Bark, woof, bark, bow-wow, bark, grr!", repeated Mal with her dog language, as the spell successfully removes the dog spell on the Auradonians!

Jay, back to normal, says, "Hey!"

"YES! We did it! They're SAVED!", Sage, Libby and Leona cheer as Scarlet and Vega, as well as Piper and Clover dance around in victorious romance.

Audrey and Evie also return to normal as the former said, "That was strange."

"Did you see what we helped Carlos? He helped us find the page while we weren't affected, but we still helped Mal and the others get back to their normal state, so yeah. Starlight Spirit Day is saved!", cheers Sage, Libby, Cassie and Gemma to Ben and Jay.

Carlos also says to the angry Jay, "Hi.", smiling awkwardly to Sage, the starlings, Mal and Ben, "Guys?"

"Jay, you know how Starlight Spirit Day shouldn't involve hitting people?", Ben, Astra, Piper, Clover, Gemma, Adora and Tessa said.

The son of Jafar said, "Yeah?", angry towards Carlos.

"We changed our minds.", the AK boy and the six secondary starlings said, before Carlos chuckled nervously, as he drops his phone and starts being chased by the pursuing and angry Jay.

Sage then uses Ben's phone as she then said, "Well, it may serve Carlos right, but for now, let's start this celebration day by giving to the carnival and having fun! First though...", as she then snaps a picture of Jay chasing Carlos, saying,

Starlight Spirit Day Indeed!

Then, another four Star Darlings-led photos were shown, the first shows the starlings, Mal and Evie, with cotton candy and chocolate bars when they're at the carnival, saying,

#SweetStarryTreats

The second also shows the twelve starlings, as well as Mal and Evie, were drinking various Mountain Dew flavours like the Original, Throwback and Diet Mountain Dews, Voltage, Supernova, White Out, Original and Diet Code Reds, Live Wire, Revolution, DEW-S-A, Pitch Black, and lastly Mtn Dew Spiked Lemonade and Raspberry Lemonade.

Gemma, Adora and Tessa were seen spraying Piper, Clover, Astra and Cassie with the former three's respective drinks DEW-S-A, Revolution and Mountain Dew, the four other starlings about to drink their due to the carbonation, and the other seven were still drinking their Mtn Dew drinks at that time with the photo, which says,

#HowDewYouMountainDew?

The third shows the fourteen on a roller coaster, with Sage and Mal at the front of the coaster in the carnival, the others in the entire roller coaster vehicle as they had thrills in the picture, saying,

#OfftheAuradonRollerCoast!

And finally, the last of the four pictures the girls took was on a ferris wheel, all twenty of them together on the biggest cart of the wheel, which the photo said lastly,

#ShineBrightLikeStarlight
