Chapter 20: Puffy Illness & Pirate Hunting

Tears keep rolling down Quincy's face as he still remembers the horror he saw when he looked on Evie's Magic Mirror. Never had he felt so ugly in his life, even with his mom as the Queen of Hearts. He's always does his best to look the best, especially to impress his mother, which he hasn't been successful at. Now, at one of the biggest moments, this happens to him for no reason at all.

"Quincy, it's gonna be fine." Chad said calming him down.

"Fine?!" Quincy shouted, "How's it fine when I look worse even usual?! I'm hideous!"

"Oh, you don't look so bad," Ally starts to say, "I think it looks…unique."

"Are you serious right now?" Freddie whispered to her.

"Why you lips are as big as smoking caterpillars, with those green pimples a nice touch." Ally said.

Everyone except Quincy looked at her wide eyed like they're saying "Dial it down".

"How's that supposed to make me feel better?" Quincy asked, trying to make one eyebrow raised but a bit difficult with his eyelids and forehead puffy.

"Uhh.." Just then Doug came in out of breath and interrupt Ally, who was relieved since he got everyone's attention. That's when Doug saw Evie and they both ran into each other's arms and hold them in embrace.

"Thank Dwarfs you're alright." Doug said facing her.

"Of course I am, Dougy." Evie said.

"What happened? I've been trying to call you but you didn't answer. And when Jane texted that you're here, I had to see you."

"That's so sweet of you and it's a long story but now we got bigger problems." Evie pointed to Quincy and Doug screamed in a high pitched voice, making Quincy feel worse of himself, earning a slap to his arm by his girlfriend.

"I mean, it's not so bad." Doug said trying to sound assuring.

"What's next, you'll tell me I look better then a dwarf's nose?" Quincy said.

"Ok!" Mal says, "How about we focus on getting your face back to normal?"

"What about who did this to Quincy?" Aziz said.

Then Mal, Evie, Freddie, Lonnie, Ally and Jane started to look at each other, since they know you done this. Mal decides to say something.

"Guys." She got everyone's attention, "We know who's behind this."

"What do you mean?" Herkie asked.

"Me and the girls done some investigating and we found out Reggie's part of the reason Quincy's been having a bad day."

"What?!" Everyone but the girls said.

"I knew it." Jordan said.

"But that's not all, he has help." Evie said.

"From who?" Ben asked.

"You could say it's a certain pirate." Ally said.

"Pirate?" Carlos asked but then went wide eyed with realization and said, "Wait, do you mean…"

"Yep." Lonnie answered.

"She's back?" Jay asked.

"We were trapped by her until Jane recused us." Freddie said.

Confused by their conversation, Quincy had to asked, "What are you guys taking about? Her who?"

"CJ." Mal said.

This got Quincy really confused, since he's never seen CJ in Auradon but that would explain why he hasn't seen her in a while back on the isle.

"CJ? You mean giant ponytail CJ? The one always swinging around ropes? That CJ?!"

"Yes, Quincy, one of Captain Hook's daughters, what other kind of CJ is there?" Freddie said.

"Seriously? CJ's here? Ok, y'all need to start telling me who else from the isle is here, who did she even get here?"

"When I made that wish to get us back to here, that's how Freddie got here. But what we didn't know at the time was that she was hiding CJ from us and she made her appear at a party we had after she blamed me and Evie for some things we didn't do." Mal explained.

"And she was working with Zevon after he escaped and he tried to make everyone evil." Evie added.

"Wow, she did a lot of damage for just being here." Quincy said.

"She was even the one who switched your pillows and stole the medicine." Lonnie said.

"God, why is she doing this to me?" Quincy asked.

"She wants revenge and made a deal with Reggie to make you lose so he can give her a ship." Mal said.

"You've gotta be kidding, why she want revenge on me?" Quincy asked.

"Maybe because you've been pranking her and her family for a decade?" Freddie suggested with a raised eyebrow.

"Oh yeah, those were good times, hahahaha." Quincy laughed.

"They weren't great for her, I still remember that time you made those tick-tock sounds by the pier and scared her off." Evie said.

CJ was messing with her older siblings by their dad's ship when she went off to the edge and was laughing until she heard what she feared the most, tick-tock sounds like her dad tells her about. She was so freaked out that she ran the opposite direction and slipped on her back, making Harriet and Harry laugh like it's the end of tomorrow. CJ sat up and started to sniff when she notices that what she fell on was fish oil. Suddenly, Quincy came from under the pier and told CJ, "You've just been pranked by the King of Pranks, hahaha" and CJ was furious, getting up and storming off after Quincy, who was to fast for her and she eventually slipped while he escaped. CJ vows that one day, she'll her revenge.

"You should be lucky you got to witness one of my pranks instead of being in one." Quincy said.

"Quincy, you're missing the point, she's trying to get you on the bench, which is clearly working." Jay said.

"And if we're down another man, we'll be toast just like she and Reggie wanted it to be." Aziz said.

"I know, but what do we do? I can't play like this." Quincy said pointing at his puffy red face.

"First, we need to find CJ. E, mirror." Mal said to Evie. She pulls out her Magic Mirror and begins to speak to it.

"Mirror Mirror in my hand, where is CJ in our land?" The mirror starts to show an image of CJ behind the bleachers, doing a evil laugh.

"That looks like the bleachers, but that's not ours." Lonnie said looking over Evie's shoulder.

"Then we can get her." Carlos said.

"You guys can't, you have the game still going on, you have to play." Evie tells the players except Quincy.

"But what about CJ?" Herkie asked.

"Leave her to us." Mal said, also pointing to the other five girls.

"But she might trap you again." Jay said.

"It's not like you in great condition." Freddie said to Jay.

"We can handle ourselves, you just get out there and make that win." Ally said.

"We'll be careful this time." Mal assured.

"I never have to worry with you." Ben said giving her a one arm hug while Mal does the same.

Suddenly, Coach Jenkins came in with a worried look on his face.

"The nurse said her battery died in her car, so she can't make it."

"What?!" Everyone said.

"I'm sorry, but Quincy has to sit out for the rest of the game."

"But Coach…" Quincy begs.

"I'm sorry son, but I don't want you out there not feeling a hundred percent." He turns to the other Knights, "Need you guys back out in 5 minutes." He then went back out with the door closed.

"Just great." Quincy said sulking.

"This sucks." Chad said, "Its not fair that he's sick cause of a cheater and a pirate."

"And I don't think my tea can help with this." Lonnie said.

Thinking really hard, Jane had to come up with a plan, then eventually a imaginary light bulb showed up on top of her head with her face lit up.

"Actually, I think I can help." Jane said.

"What do you mean?" Lonnie asked.

"You guys go." Jane tells the Knights except Quincy "We got this."

Surprised at her confidence, Ben said, "Are you sure Jane?"

"Trust me, I have an idea, don't worry." Jane assures him.

"Ok, if you say so." Ben turns to the other boys, "Lets go guys."

"Lets do this." Jay said.

"Yeah!" The other Knights shouted.

The boys started to leave with Jordan following them since she's filming the game.

"I gotta get back with the band, but Evie, be safe out there." Doug said to Evie while holding her hands.

"I will, Dougy." Evie said before planting a kiss on his lips, making him blush. Doug then left with the others.

"I'll catch up with y'all in a sec." Chad tells Ben.

"Ok, see you out there." Ben said before he went through the door with the others.

"Hey," Chad said to Quincy while walking up to him and puts his hand on his shoulder, "You're gonna be ok."

"Cause Jane's helping me?" Quincy guessed.

"That and you're tougher than you think." Chad said.

"I would smile if my cheeks weren't puffy." Quincy said trying to smile.

"Hehe, won't be a problem much longer."

"Yeah, so you better get going."

"Right, see ya." Then Chad runs off to join his team, leaving Quincy with the girls.

"Alright, now is time to get to work, Lonnie, I'll need you help." Jane says to Lonnie.

"Sure, whatever you need." Lonnie said.

"And while you guys cure Quincy, the rest of us are going pirate hunting." Mal said.

"Off we go, ladies." Ally said.

"Lets do this." Freddie said.

Mal, Evie, Freddie and Ally walked off to the door and closing it behind them, leaving Lonnie, Jane and an swollen puffy Quincy inside the Fitness Center.

"Alright Lonnie, what did you use for your tea?" Jane said with her hands starting to sparkle blue dust.

Tourney Field

Everyone at the stands were waiting patiently for the game to start back up while some of them were wondering what happened with Quincy. Just then, Ben and the others came back running across the field to join their team, who are already on the field song with the Sherwood Falcons, with Reggie smirking noticing that Quincy wasn't with them.

"Well folks, looks like the Fighting Knights are back and better then.." Before the Announcer can finish, Jordan came up beside his ear and whispered something to him and backed away to go back to her equipment.

"Oh no, I just had some terrible news, it seems like Auradon Prep's very own Quincy has come down with some kind of illness and won't be continuing to play the rest of the quarter."

That made the crowd from Auradon Prep groan and worried, but with Reggie being giddy on the inside.

"Let's not let that get us upset and remember the great ideas he came up with during his debut. Also the game's not over yet so their still a chance for Auradon Prep since their still a point ahead but that could change in favor of the Falcons."

"And I'm counting on that, Hehehe." Reggie said silently.

"So without further ado, time to start this game back up." The Announcer said.

The Knights huddled while the Falcons do the same thing, with Reggie keeping on glancing at the Knights.

"Alright guys, let's do this for Quincy since he came through for us." Ben said.

"Right!" The Knights said.

"Ok, Aziz, this time it's your turn to get the ball and Herkie, run with Carlos for protection." Ben said.

"Got it!" Aziz, Herkie and Carlos said.

"Chad, your with me." Chad nods, "and the rest of you, do what you have to do, but watch out of Reggie, he's the one you need to be careful of, and that goes for everyone."

"Yessir!" The other Knights said.

"Break!" Everyone said separating themselves.

Beside the bleachers of Sherwood High is the three VK girls and Ally looking sideways making sure the coast is clear.

"Alright, no one sees us so far, so let's move." Mal said leading Evie, Freddie and Ally right under the bleachers. They looked three more times before deciding they don't see the ponytailed pirate anywhere.

"Are you sure she's here, Evie?" Mal asked her.

"Positive, my mirror never lies, this is where CJ's suppose to be and matter of fact, we're standing in the same spot she was at." Evie said.

"Guess she must've went somewhere else?" Freddie suggested.

"Maybe she's invisible?" Ally said.

"I'm not sure about that." Mal said.

"It could happen or maybe she's a tiny insect." Then the other girls gave Ally a "What?" look like she's talking crazy.

"Now that's ridiculous." Freddie said.

"She's right, that is ridiculous." A voice said, alerting the girls and making them turn their heads.

"Who said that?!" Mal asked.

"Why Malsy, I did!" They looked up and they saw CJ hanging by rope.

"Looking for me?" CJ said before she swings her way down and held her feet up about to land a kick.

"Oh no you don't!" Evie said and she held her mirror out and shining bright light at CJ's eyes, making her lose concentration and hit her self against the back of the bleachers.

"Ouch!" CJ shouted.

"That's what you get." Evie said.

With that said, CJ stood up and wiped off the grass stains off her red coat.

"You think you're so clever? Just you wait until the Falcons win." CJ said.

"That's not gonna happen." Mal said.

"Why you say that? I heard that Quincy's out for the count, hahahaha!" CJ laughed.

"We know cause that was you." Mal said.

"What can I say? Feather dust plus a dose from Zevon's potion was a work of art."

"You're awful, you know that?" Evie said.

"Well duh, it wouldn't be fun if I wasn't."

"Ooh, I'm tired of hearing this, you going down, Hooky." Ally said then charged at CJ before she swing on her rope to dodge and Ally landed on the ground, groaning in pain.

"Is that the best you got?" CJ shouted while swinging and tries to land kicks on the VKs who dodges them as quick as they can and eventually Ally got up and tries not to get hit.

"Come on, CJ. This is gone too far." Freddie said.

"Oh, I haven't begun to go far." CJ said coming back for another swing.

Mal gets out spellbook and begins to chant, "Land Land, turn into sand!" And the rope CJ was swinging with immediately turns into sand, causing her to fall but rolls into a ball when she lands and stands on her feet to bring out another rope and lassos the girls in four loops, trapping them. She also ties the end of the rope to one of the supporting beams.

"Hey!" The girls shouted.

"Comfy?" CJ asked with a smirk.

"Lets us go!" Mal shouted.

"No can do, Malsy, I'm this close to my ship and with Quincy all puffed up, there's nothing he, you or anyone else can do to change that." CJ said.

"Just wait till we get out of this." Evie said struggling.

"Riiiiight," CJ said sarcastically, "Good luck with that, Hahahahaha!" And she uses another rope to swing out from the scene, leaving the poor girls helplessly tied so tight it was nearly impossible to get lose.

As the the game was going on, Reggie was running with the ball with Chad, Ben and Herkie on his tail and he hits the ball at the net, passing the goalie, earning him and his team 10-8, making their school crowd cheer for them.

"Looks like the odds are now in favor of the Falcons as they manage to get ahead of the Knight with a point in the lead, can they catch up to them in time before the clock runs out?" The Announcer said as the timer said 6:30 on the scoreboard.

"Man, we're getting killed out there." Herkie said as he, Aziz, Carlos, Chad, Ben and the rest of the Fighting Knights are at the sidelines.

"Yeah, I think one of them even kicked my back down." Carlos said rubbing his back.

"That was his fist I saw." Herkie said.

"Seriously?! Should that be a foul?" Carlos said.

"It probably doesn't matter now, we got less than seven minutes to catch up." Chad said.

"But what can we do? We lost one of our best players." Aziz said.

"Keep your head up Aziz, we need to have faith." Ben said.

"Yeah, but without Quincy's help, we're sitting ducks, it's not fair that we had to suffer Reggie's cheating."

"You're right, but without prove, there's nothing we can do." Ben said.

"That red headed punk's getting on my nerves, I can't believe he would stoop this low just to win." Jordan said angrily. "Why, I have to nerve to beat his a.."

"Hey, hey, hey." Ben said grabbing Jordan's arms. "Calm down and we don't say those words here."

Calming down, Jordan sighs in relief, "I'm sorry, Ben. I just can't help it, Quincy's has this illness and we can't cure it."

"I get it, you're worried about him, it's understandable."

"I'm just wondering if he's gonna be better." Jordan said sulking.

"Aww Jordie, that's so sweet of you." A voice said, making everyone turn to the direction of the voice and what they see was a miracle, the boy they were just talking about is clear skinned, normal eyes, less swollen cheeks and regular sized lips, with his hand on his hip holding his helmet under his arm.

"Quincy?!" Everyone said.

"You're alright!" Chad said as he ran and gave his best friend a huge hug with Jordan next and Herkie after with him lifting all three.

"Ok," Quincy said face red and running out of breath, "Can you put me down now?!"

"Oh." Herkie said. "Sorry, little buddy." And he puts them down while they gasp for air.

"You're definitely the son of Hercules alright, haha." Quincy said.

"So how did this happen? One minute you were gross then the next you're not, no offense." Jordan asked.

"No taken, but it's really because of these two." Quincy said pointing to Lonnie and Jane, who are smiling.

"No way, how'd y'all do that?" Jordan asked.

"Jane got me everything I need to make my tea, but she had to do a little magic and also uses it for an extra something to work and eventually, Quincy got cured." Lonnie said.

"Wow, you really come along the way." Jordan said making Jane blush.

"I was just trying to help that's all." Jane said.

"So anyways, how we looking?" Quincy asked.

"Not good, we're down 2 points." Chad tells him.

"What?!" Quincy looks at the scoreboard, confirming what Chad says.

"Yeah, Reggie and the Falcons are beating us like it's nothing." Aziz said.

"Well, not anymore cause I'm back and better than ever." Quincy said holding his fist in front of him, confidently.

"That's what I'm talking about, so what you got up that sleeve of yours?" Jay asked.

"Ok, here's what we're gonna do." Quincy starts on his plan to take down the Sherwood Falcons but it won't be long before Reggie gets wind of his return and Quincy's going to have to watch his back.
