A/N: So I decided to finish this before starting on my OUAT story. I will be trying to find a way to get that story and my crossover to take place at the same time. For all I know, I will only have the crossover. Depends on the amount of time I have and my motivation.

"Do I have to go?" Hadley whines as she sits on Mal's bed. Over the past couple of weeks, the two sisters have grown close. During the week of the assignment, Mal had used her magic to heal her little sister's old wounds. On top of that, Mal decided to teach Hadley a couple of basic spells. Like changing hair colors or having sticks trip people. Minor things.

"Hadley, I know that neither of us like parties, but it is my first major event as Lady of the Court. At lease stay until lunch, Ben has a surprise for you," Mal states simply as she applies the last bit of makeup to Hadley. Within the dorm room, a third bed now sat where the table once was. Evie's fashion line had moved to what used to be Hadley's dorm room. The demigoddess' previous roommate had to leave after being needed back in Arendale. The third bed was significantly different from the other two beds. It wasn't an actual bed. It was a light pink futon that could be pulled out into a bed at night. The blanket meant to be used on it sat folded and unused on the back of the futon. A second pillow was now on Mal's bed after the first night that the three girls all shared a room.

"I hate surprises and I'm behind on homework. I have a project due Monday," the younger pixie states as she lays back on the bed. The only class she shared with the others was Remedial Goodness 101. Otherwise... her classes were more nature based. After being homeschooled by Persephone for years, continuing nature based classes made sense. Especially when she is behind on history, math, and English.

"You can't fill out star charts when the sun is still out. Now put on your sandals," Mal says rolling her eyes. She grabs a pair of bronze colored gladiator sandals that had been discarded under the bed the night before and throws them at Hadley's face. A yelp escapes the blunette as she is suddenly attacked by a pair of flying sandals.

"Only an hour. Then I can come back here and change out of this stupid chiton," Hadley says as she sits up. After a good hour of complaining, Mal and Evie finally talked the younger girl into putting on the dress Evie made for her. The chiton ended just below her knees, much short than she was comfortable with. The fabric was as dark as the night sky, which is a very dark blue and not black despite what people seem to think, making her blue hair seem brighter and the bronze armbands glitter. She laces the gladiator sandals onto her feet before standing up and stretching.

"Thanks," Mal smiles pulling Hadley into a hug. Due to Evie being busy with the increasing number or orders for dresses and capes (Chad seems to believe that there is such a thing as too many capes), Mal was wearing the same dress as she wore for her first time having tea with Queen Mother Belle. A light purple dress that fell to her knees. Blue jewels embellished the skirt so it would shine every time she moved. Light blue lace went over Mal's shoulders, ending at the sweetheart neckline of the purple dress. "Now let's go," the purplette grins.

Three hours later...

Family Day was in full swing. After the Auradon kids sang their version of Be Our Guest, Mal and Ben had left for a last second meeting at Castle Beast. Hadley was sitting at a table in the gardens with Belle and Adam, after having promised Mal that she would stay until she returned.

"Hadley, dear. Have you been enjoying Auradon? Mal mentioned that you aren't used to sunlight," Queen Mother Belle asks as she adds a few sugar cubes to her tea. Belle and Mal had grown quite close over the past year. The former Queen had begun to see her son's True Love as a daughter. She had come to see all of the Villain children as her own. When Mal had discovered why Hadley refused to trust her, when she saw the scars, she instantly told Belle.

"If I had my way, I would be wearing aviators and a baseball cap every time I went outside. And all my classes would be at night," Hadley chuckles as she holds a yellow mug filled with coffee in her hands.

"Is that to avoid Mal or sunlight?" Belle asks with a knowing smirk.

"Can't the answer be both?" Hadley asks with an innocent little grin on her face. Adam bellows in laughter at the teen's response. He claps a hand on her back with enough force to push her forward in her seat.

"So that's why you are taking astronomy," Ben teases as he stops behind Hadley. "And I thought it was because the stars are pretty."

"Stars are more than pretty, far more. They tell stories, serve as historical records, and they are navigational tools," Hadley explains with an eyeroll. Almost all Auradonians question the importance of Astronomy. All the non-fairies just saw it as an easy A and an excuse to stay up past curfew.

"Well astronomy aside... I have a surprise for you! Hercules wants to meet you! Herkie told him about you, they are just grabbing some food," Ben grins not noticing the look of panic in Hadley's emerald eyes.

"I..." the young fey starts to say before getting out of her seat and taking off at a run towards the school. The ceramic mug falls to the ground and smashes into a bunch of tiny pieces. Coffee soaked into the grass as the royal family stared at the back of the retreating girl.

"I don't understand..." Ben says sitting down in what was Hadley's seat. He thought she wanted to meet her cousin. She got along well enough with Herkie after all.

Carlos was sitting at a table with Jane and Fairy Godmother when he saw Hadley take off at a run. Looking off to the left, he noticed two burly redheads wrestling each other to the ground. Herkie and Hercules. The white haired boy quickly gets out of his seat and runs over to the still confused boy king. "Did you know that Hercules was coming?"

"Yeah. He wanted to meet Hadley. Why?"

"Hades told Hadley that Hercules wants to kill her. That Zeus ordered her dead as revenge for Hercules being kidnapped. She fears them." Carlos states crossing his arms. "Did you tell Mal that Hercules is here?"

"No... I should go find her. She spilled water on her dressed so she said something about going back to the dorms," Ben says getting out of the chair. He wasn't even considering talking to Hercules about the issue. All his thoughts were on how terrified Hadley must be and that he needs Mal's help to fix his mistake.

"Ben, honey. Have Mal talk to Hercules about Hadley. You should be the one to calm Hadley down, make sure that she's okay," Belle suggests taking Ben's hand before he took off running without a thought. Once her boy nods in understanding, she drops his hand and watches him run towards the dorm building.

A/N: This was going to be one chapter, but I decided to split it into two. It was getting longer than my normal chapter length.
