"Come on Kailee cheer up," Doug urges. I shake my head covering my ears with my hands. While Tourney is one of my favorite sports the games are really loud. "No, I want daddy," I pout crossing my arms. "You can talk to him after the game," he assures before continuing to play his his trumpet in tune with the band. "No he won't," I mutter under my breathe.

Every since he ate that cookie early today he's been acting funny. I look through the crowd of cheering students to see, Evie and Lonnie trying to get Mal to cheer. I get up from my seat and weave my way through the cheering student body over to the girls.

"Hey guys," I greet glumly. "Hey there Kailee," Mal greets ruffling my golden hair. "Oh Mal, there putting Jay in." Evie cheers, I perk up a little bit. I missed the tourney practice where Jay dominated the field. I think watching Jay take down our school's rival will cheer me up.

"I can't see," I say tugging on Evie's dress. She reaches down and picks me up. "Better?" She asks, I just nod. I'm still tired from staying up all night, I'm never eating sugar before bed again.

I watch as Jay and Carlos head out on 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." The announcer says over the speaker. I cover my ears again, I'm not the biggest fan of loud noises. Normally I have noise cancelling headphones but daddy's been distracted and forgot to give them to me.

"When they break from their huddles, this gonna be a big moment here. And the tipoff is ready." Jay charges to the center of the field getting the ball before the opposing player. "Go Jay!" I cheer still keeping my ears covered.

Jay passes to daddy. Carlos trips an opposing player then does a dorky little victory dance. Jay gets the ball back and the heads for the goal. He maneuvers through the dragon fire. "Jay makes a nice pass to Prince Ben through the kill zone." Chad rams one of the other players sending him to the ground.

"Prince Ben moves over wide, gives it back to Jay. He's in the clear! Shot!" The crowd cheers louder in anticipation. "Oh, what a save by Philip the Falcons' goalkeeper." The entire student body sighs. We were so close to beating our rivals.

"23 seconds left. You could cut the tension with a sword. The long ball is played into Jay. Jay, great jump, great leap. And great move by Jay. Big block from Chad. Jay dishes of to Prince Ben." The announcer says, does this guy ever run out of breath?

"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 hurdles through some of the fire while Carlos blocks the rest with his shield. "Yeah Carwos!" I cheer. Evie and Mal laugh at my mispronunciation.

Carlos bends down so that Jay can jump over him. "He passes to Prince Ben. He scores!" The crowd goes crazy, we finally beat our rivals. "Yay daddy!" I squeal hugging Evie around the neck.

"Prince Ben has won it! What an unselfish play by Jay!" The announcer starts. "And it's the new guys, Jay and Carlos, who set up the prince for the win here," he continues. "What a victory! An absolutely wonderful end to one of the best games ever." Okay I think he's just droning on. "Here they come, folks. The winners of the first tourn-" Daddy steps up and swipes the mic.

"Excuse me. Excuse me. Can I have your attention, please?" He asks, everyone falls silent. "Daddy!" I yell out some students look at me and smile, daddy ignores me again. "There's something I'd like to say." He steps onto the shooter post forcing number forty-one off.

He looks around cluelessly for a couple of minutes. "Give me an 'M'!" He shouts making what I'm guessing is an M with his arms. "M!" Everyone repeats mimicking his motions excluding Mal, Evie and I. I'm only three I don't know how to spell, I don't even know my apgs.

"Give me an 'A'!" Daddy shouts making probably an A. "A!" Everyone repeats copying his motions. "Give me an 'L'!" He shouts once again this time making an L. "L!" Everyone shouts once more copying daddy again.

"What does that spell?" He asks, I honestly have no clue. "Mal!" Everyone shouts excitedly. "Come on, I can't hear you!" He shouts holding the mic tighter. "Mal!" Everyone repeats only much louder. "I love you, Mal! Did I mention that?" He asks. I thought he lov- liked ugh Audrey. In the corner of the field I see Audrey running away.

"Give me a beat! Whoo!" Daddy orders. "Uno, dos, tres, quatro!" Doug I think counts off. "Oh, my God! What was in that cookie?" Evie and Mal say simultaneously. "What you talkin bout?" I ask looking curiously between the two girls.

?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 everyday. But let me shout it out loud, if that's okay? That's OK? (Hey)

Out of the two choices, Mal and Audrey, Mal's better. Mal might be the daughter of a villain but she's not as rude as Audrey. Plus Mal and her friends are really nice to me.

?I met this girl that rocked my world likes it never been rocked. And now I'm living just for her and I won't ever stop. I never thought that it could happen to a guy like me. But now look what you've done, you got me down on my knees.? Daddy sings falling down on his knees, the rest of the team dancing with him.

How do people break in to song and just know the song and dance moves? Must be an Auradon thing, I think before pushing the thought aside.

?Because my love for you is ridiculous. I never knew.(Who knew) That it could be like this. My love for you is Ridiculous. My love is R-i-d-i-c-u-l-o-u-s. It's. {Ridiculous} Just. {Ridiculous} And I would give my kingdom for just one kiss!? This must be what happens when he eats sugar before running around the tourney field. Afterwards he acts like a love sick puppy hyped up on sweets.

?Well 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 lemme, shout it out loud! If that's hey. Yeah, if that's ok.(Hey)? Mal wants to smile, I can tell she does, but she has a bad girl rep to live up to.

?I gotta know which way to go. Come on now give me a sign. You gotta show me that you're only ever gonna be mine. Don't wanna go another minute, livin' without you. Cuz if your heart just isn't it, I don't know what I'll do.?

?Because my love for you is. Ridiculous! I never knew {Who knew?} That it could be like this. 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) It's. (Ridiculous) Just. (Ridiculous) And I would give my kingdom for just one kiss!? He takes it off his jersey and tosses it to Mal. She smirks as she catches it. Isn't that thing covered in sweat?

?Come on now (Oh yeah. Yeow. Alright. Alright)?

?Because my love for you is. Ridiculous! I never knew. {Who knew?} That it could be like this. 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} It's. {Ridiculous} Just. {Ridiculous} And I would give my kingdom for just one kiss!? Daddy jumps into the crowd ten crowd surfaces to Mal. He has a bigger problem with sugar than I do, and he only took one bite out of that cookie!

?Come on now?ￂﾠ

I cover my eyes as he leans in for a kiss. Kissing is really icky. "I love you, Mal! Did I mention that?" Daddy asks, I uncover my eyes just in time to watch Audrey snatch the mic away.

"Chad's my boyfriend now!" Audrey announces, I'm pretty sure no one cares. Chad waves to the crowd, his usual dumb charming grin plastered on his face. "And I'm going to the coronation with him. So I don't need your pity date." She's right it was a pity date. I pity anyone who'd have to date her. Just as she's about to kiss Chad, Evie covers my eyes.

"Mal! Will you go to the coronation with me?" Daddy asks loud enough for the entire crowd to hear."Yes!" Mal says, a little too excited. "She said yes!" Daddy yells as if no one had heard Mal's answer. I push Evie's hand up to see what's going on.

"Let's go, Ben. The whole team's waiting for you." Jay calls coming up behind daddy. Mal and daddy say they short good byes before daddy gets down from the bleachers.

"What a victory. What a day for the Auradon Knights, finally winning back the trophy after so many years." The announcer says putting the emphasis on "many"

"I feel really sorry for Audrey." Mal starts taking notice of Evie's sour expression. "You do?" Evie asks unconvinced. "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." Mal finishes, I nod my head in agreement. "I guess I am kind of talented." Evie laughs readjusting me on her hip. "Course you are yowr the bestest pwincess eber." I compliment hugging her around the neck.

"And there he is. Jay, the most valuable player. How do you like that?" Jay sits atop the shoulders of some of his teammates holding the victory trophy high. It's nice to see he's good at other things and not just stealing.
