Chapter Overview:

In this chapter, we see the boys compete in a Tourney game, and following the end of the match, we get to experience the effects the love potion has on Ben when he serenades Mal in front of the entire school.

Commentator: 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.

Everyone was on the edge of their seats watching the game, even Jafar, and Maleficent, who was still chained down.

Jay: Get 'em, Chad.

Chad: Thanks, Jay.

Commentator: The teams get into their huddles and take up positions along the kill zone. Akiho! The dragoneers have been laying down a withering hail of fire.

Coach: You're up.

Commentator: And now a substitution...

Jay: Coach, how about my buddy here?

Coach: Oh, no.

Coach: Not so sure about that.

Jay: Coach, he's been practising.

Carlos: Jay...

Jay: And you said yourself a team is made up of a bunch of parts.

Mal looked confused. "What's Carlos? The funny bone?" She asked sarcastically.

Jay, I'm not that good.

Jay: Well, he's kind of like my brain.

"Ohhhhh" Everyone realised.

"Well I guess I can't argue with that, can I?" Carlos grinned.

Coach: Come here! You heard him. Get out there!

Jay: Don't worry, bro. I got your back.

Carlos: How about my front?

Upon hearing that, everyone broke out laughing. Chad and Audrey rolled their eyes. "He's going to make us lose the game, you watch." Chad said, turning to Audrey.

Jay: Pfft. Get out there.

Commentator: He's bringing that hothead Jay in from the isle of the lost and that little guy Carlos can barely hold a shield.

"Hey!" Carlos yelled, while everyone laughed.

Coach: Break!

Commentator: 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.

Everyone laughs at Carlos on the screen, even Carlos himself.

Commentator: And now Jay gets the ball back. Here comes Jay! Jay, hurdling manoeuvre at mid-field.

"Yeah! Go son!" Jafar cheered.

Ben: I'm open!

Commentator: Jay makes a nice pass to prince Ben through the kill zone.

Ben: Jay!

Commentator: 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!

There was a collective sigh of disappointment from everyone in the theatre.

Coach: Come on!

Coach: All right, all right, let's do it! Come on, guys! Come on, hustle, hustle!

Commentator: 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.

Everyone lets out a little chuckle at how easily Jay hurls Carlos up.

Commentator: 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.

Carlos: Hey, Jay!

Commentator: Carlos?

Jay: Go up! Ben!

Commentator: He passes to prince Ben. He scores! Prince Ben has won it!

Everyone cheers and pats Ben on the back.

Commentator: What an unselfish play by Jay!

At that, the smile drops off of Jafar's face.

Commentator: What a team! Incredible! And It's the new guys, Jay and Carlos, who set up the prince for the win here.

Jay smiled to himself. "Maybe it won't be so bad here." He mumbled. Lonnie ears, and rubbed his arm, a huge smile on her face.

Commentator: What a victory! An absolutely wonderful end to one of the best games ever. Here they come, folks. The winners of the first tourn...

excuse me. Excuse me. Can I have your attention, please?

Belle looked at Ben in shock, surprised that he would do that.

Ben: There's something I'd like to say. Give me an "m"!

Crowd: "M"!

Ben: Give me an "a"!

Crowd: "A"!

Ben: Give me an "I"!

Crowd: "L"!

Ben: What does that spell?

Crowd: Mal!

Ben: Come on, I can't hear you!

Crowd: Mal!

Mal went pale. "Oh no."

Ben: I love you, Mal! Did I mention that?

Mal just sunk down in her seat, her face bright red. However, inside, she was jumping for joy at the statement, even though she knew it was only because of the love spell.

Mal: Oh...

Ben: Give me a beat! Whoo!

Doug: Uno, dos, tres, quatro!

Evie: Oh, my God! Cookie!

Mal: What was in that cookie?

Belle and Adam shared a concerned look. "That's what we want to know."

Ben: 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!

Lonnie looked confused. "How can you dream of her everyday? You've only known her for three days."

Ben and Mal both looked down, knowing the real truth, however, they would never admit to each other, or anyone else that they had had those dreams...

Ben: Hey! If that's okay, Hey! I met this girl that rocked my world like It's never been rocked, now I'm living just for her and I won't ever stop

Audrey smirked. "Just wait until the love potion wears off."

Ben: I never thought that it could happen to a guy like me but now look at what you've done, you got me down on my knees

"Oh damn Ben!" Chad chuckled.

Ben: Because my love for you is ridiculous

Ben: I never knew

Crowd: Who knew?

Ben: That it could be like this, My love for you is ridiculous, Ridiculous

Ben: My love is r-I-d-I-c-u-l-o-u-s R-I-d-I-c-u-l-o-u-s

Ben: It's...

Crowd: Ridiculous

Ben: Just...

Crowd: Ridiculous

Ben: And I would give my kingdom for just one kiss

Adam looked at his son jokingly. "That's not a very good deal son."

Ben: Well, did I mention 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, Yeah, If that's okay, Hey! I gotta know which way to go, come on, 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, Cause If your heart just isn't in it, I don't know what I'd do

Mal just sat there, her eyes ten times the normal size, in shock.

Ben: Because my love for you is ridiculous

Ben: Ridiculous

Ben: I never knew

Crowd: Who knew?

Ben: That it could be like this my love for you is ridiculous

Evie looked at Mal questionably. "Are you sure we didn't put too much of something in? This seems a little over the top..."

Ben: My love is r-I-d-I-c-u-l-o-u-s R-I-d-I-c-u-l-o-u-s

Ben: It's...

Crowd: Ridiculous

Ben: Just...

Crowd: Ridiculous

Chad looked at Ben. "I just wanna know when you had the time to teach us the choreography."

Ben: And I would give my kingdom for just one kiss, Come on, now! Ho! Oh, yeah ho! Yow!

"Awwww" all the girls bar Mal, Maleficent and Audrey sigh in contentment when Ben gives Mal his shirt.

Chad and Doug however, are not so pleased. "Dude! Why would you give her a sweaty shirt?!" Doug asked, bewildered.

Ben: All right. Hey!

Ben: All right

Ben: Hey!

Ben: Because my love for you is ridiculous

Ben: I never knew

Crowd: Who knew?

Ben: That it could be like this, My love for you is ridiculous

Crowd: Ridiculous

Ben: My love is r-I-d-I-c-u-l-o-u-s, R-I-d-I-c-u-l-o-u-s

Ben: It's...

Crowd: Ridiculous

Ben: Just...

Crowd: Ridiculous

Ben: And I would give my kingdom for just one kiss, Come on, now! Oh! I love you, Mal! Did I mention that?

Adam smiled at him. "Oh, only about a million times, son." Everyone chuckled at that.

Audrey: Chad's my boyfriend now!

Chad: Hey!

Audrey: And I'm going to the coronation with him. So I don't need your pity date. Whoa!

Ben: Mal! Will you go to the coronation with me?

Mal: Yes!

Ben: She said yes!

Belle chuckled. "You're acting as if she just agreed to marry you."

Let's go, Ben. The whole team's waiting for you.

Ben: Yeah

Mal: Bye

Commentator: Whoo! What a victory. What a day for the Auradon knights finally winning back the trophy after so many years.

Mal: You know, I feel really sorry for Audrey.

"You do?!" Everyone stared at her in shock.

"Why?" Audrey asked.

Mal chuckled nervously, feeling her mother glaring holes in the side of her head. "I have a feeling we're about to find out."

Evie: You do?

Mal: 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.

Evie: I guess I am kind of talented.

Mal: You are definitely gifted.

Evie: Thanks, M.

Commentator: Yeah, yeah! And there he is. Jay, the most valuable player.

"Oh yeah!" Jay pumped the air and cheered. Belle, Adam and Fairy Godmother smiled at him.

Commentator: How do you like that?
