Evie had set up the small table in the courtyard of the school and four chairs for her and the three Auradonian girls to sit down together. She's always wanted a tea party, a real one, and now was her chance.
"I've never had a real tea party before." Evie said happily as she poured the tea pot, filled with bottle water, into Jane's baby blue tea cup.
"Why not?" Audrey asked. "All princesses have tea parties."
"Well, I'm not really a princess." Evie explained.
"Why?" Jane asked.
"Well, where I'm from...I was a princess. Now I'm not." She said. "But I'm okay with that."
Audrey put her little hands on her her hips. "I'm a princess here. I declare all girls here at dis table are princesses. Princess Lonnie, Princess Janie, Princess Evie and Princess Audrey." She giggled at the end. "Wow! I never said princess so many time!"
Lonnie laughed. "I tink that's the most you ever said princess in your life, Audrey."
"Yeah!" Jane agreed, slurping her tea.
"Janie, princesses don't slurp." Audrey said. "We put our pinkies out."
Evie looked at Audrey as the little princess picked up her tea cup like a professional and sipped it with her pinkie out. She must have had a lot of practice because no girl her age could be this good at holding a tea cup perfectly, sip it nicely and keep her hand steady. Audrey finished her tea and placed it down. "Like that."
"Show off." Lonnie giggled.
"Lonnie," Evie said and gave her a tone. "Don't be mean."
"The only mean people live on that island over there. Mommy says their dirty candy." Audrey said.
"My daddy said they're rotten people with rotten children." Lonnie told the girls. "I overheard my mommy talking to Snow White one day and she said Snow White was putting on an act."
"What that mean?" Jane asked.
"Snow say that she doesn't hate her step mommy. Her step mommy was just too into herself reflection. But my mommy said she sorta knew about that lady. That lady is really, really, really mean. She probably teach her rotten child the same thing."
That hurt Evie's feelings a bit. She knew that the girls at this age just listened to their parents and believed them. They followed their parents leads, she was the same with her own mom around these ages. But it still hurt Evie's feelings.
"What wrong, Evie?" Jane asked.
"Oh...the tea's a little too hot to drink." Evie told her. "I'll let it cool. Anyone care for a little cookie?"
"The ones we made earlier!?" Lonnie got excited.
"No Lonnie, we're going to have dinner in a little white." Evie said.
"I'm really hungry, Evie." Lonnie said, holding her tummy. Audrey and Jane also said they were hungry. "Can't we have one cookie?"
Evie sighed. "If I go get some bread and butter, will that be okay? The cookies will be for tonight."
"OK." Lonnie said.
"I'll be right back. Stay right here, don't move."
Evie stood up and left the girls.
The three Auradon girls took Evie's words to heart; they didn't move an inch. It was hard because the girls tried to not giggle, for they would move if they giggled, but it was hard. Jane giggled first.
"Janie giggled first!" Audrey said. She then had a wonderful idea. "Janie, can you do something for me?"
"Sure Audrey."
"Mal has magic, right?" Audrey asked. "I overheard Evie and Carlos talking a while ago and they said Mal had magic."
"Yeah. So?"
"Only fairies have magic."
"Mal my sister!?" Jane smiled. "Yay! I have a sister!"
"Maybe your half sister since she got purple hair. But yeah, a sister. Mal did Lonnie hair, can you do mine?" Audrey asked the blue eyed girl. "Please? Please? Please? Please? Please? Please? Please? Please? Please? Please? Please? Please? Please? Please? Please? Pretty please wit a glass slipper and sparkly roses and bumpkins and mice and magic and wands and fairies on top?"
"How do I do that?"
"I dunno. Try a rhyme. Try to rhyme with Evie since I want Evie hair."
"Okay." Jane said. Jane thought for a second as Audrey closed her eyes, awaiting the new hair. "Audrey old hair be gone and add a red new Evie styled done." Jane said, not realizing she had said 'red' and not 'rad' as in cool.
There was a magic dust of red that covered Audrey's hair. As soon as the red disappeared, Audrey opened her eyes. "How it look?"
"Audrey's a clown!" Lonnie laughed.
"Oopsies." Jane said, covering her face wiith her hands. "Sorry!"
Audrey looked between the two girls, unsure about how they were acting. Audrey jumped off the chair to go to the fountain and look in the water. Lonnie followed in per suite, Jane kept hidden behind her face.
Audrey looked into the water and saw herself with red, puffy hair in the shape of a ball, resting on her head. "NO!" She sobbed. "I'm ugly!" She whipped around and darted her eyes on Jane. "Janie!" She yelled. "You made me ugly!"
"I didn't mean too!"
Lonnie kept laughing. Audrey was offended and punched Lonnie in the face, but Lonnie reacted. "Hey! No hitting!" Lonnie yelled, then punched Audrey in the face.
"Ouch! That hurt Lonnie!" Audrey yelled.
"You started it!" Lonnie yelled, kicking Audrey.
"No! You did! You laugh at me!" Audrey said, punching Lonnie again.
"Stop hitting me!" Lonnie screamed, pushing Audrey down.
Audrey sobbed as soon as she hit the ground. She was ugly, her best friend laughed at her and she was just pushed by her best friend...all because Jane can't do magic right. "Janie! This is your fault!"
"My fault?" Jane asked, hoping that Audrey would forget that it was Jane who did it. "M-Mal did it!"
"No! Mal is too busy looking for Benny!" Audrey yelled. "You did this! You made me ugly!"
"I didn't mean too!" Jane bawled her eyes out. "I want mommy!"
"I want mommy!" Audrey cried.
"I want my mommy!" Lonnie shouted.
"W-w-w-why?" Audrey said, breathing quickly in and out.
"I don't wanna be left out." Lonnie said. "I want my mommy!"
"Mommy!" Jane cried.
"Mommy!" Audrey yelled.
The three of them kept crying loudly. Evie had heard them on her way back with a basket of bread and butter. She dropped the basket and ran to the girls.
She saw Jane at the table, sobbing. She saw Audrey with red, fuzzy ball styled hair also crying and Lonnie...well, just crying. "Girls, what happened?" She asked calmly.
"I-I-I-I ask Jane to make my hair as pretty as you and she mess up!" Audrey sobbed.
"I no mean too!" Jane said.
"You have magic?" Evie asked Jane.
"My mommy does. And so do Mal and mommy and Mal are both fairy power. So I have too also. Audrey told me."
"Oh...and Lonnie?" Evie asked.
Lonnie stopped crying. "I didn't wanna be lefted out."
Evie sighed. She picked up Jane and carried her to the girls. "Jane, just because you have magic it doesn't mean you can just use it. And Audrey," Evie looked at the princess. "You are already so beautiful. You don't need new hair to do that."
"Your hair and Mal hair is so pretty!"
"Everyone is beautiful, Audrey." Evie said.
"But boys likes pretty girls! Daddy likes mommy and mommy pretty."
Evie smiled at her. "Daddy likes mommy because mommy is a very nice mommy and a very nice girl, right?"
Audrey sniffed. "Yeah."
"Boys like nice girls. Nice girls are beautiful." Evie said. Audrey smiled. "Good?"
"OK."
"Jane?" Evie said. She whispered something into her ear. Jane looked at her confused. "It'll work."
Jane turned to Audrey and said, "Beware, forswear, undo Audrey's hair."
Audrey was covered in pink dust. A second later after the pink dust went away, Audrey's hair was back to its old self. "Yay! I'm not a clown!"
"Now Chad is the clown again!" Lonnie said.
"I'm sorry for messing your hair up Audrey." Jane said.
Audrey smiled. "It OK. I forgive you." She then pulled Jane into a hug. Jane smiled and hugged back. "Let go back to being princesses!"
"With cookies." Lonnie said.
"No cookies." Evie said, taking the girls hands and walking back with them.
