Previously: Audrey fights for a way into the play since Uma stole the role of Aurora, Chad invites Evie to dinner.
"Oh my god, I can't believe I'm really meeting Cinderella and Chad Charming." Evie squealed.
The blue haired girl stood next to Chad who ran a hand through his curly blond hair. Evie turned to Chad.
"How do I look? Do I look hot yet modest? Humble yet fancy? Old school yet trendy?" Evie asked.
Chad smiled. "For the hundredth time you look fine. Not as good as me of course, but cute enough."
Evie punched him in the shoulder. The boy had a gift with the way he could turn any compliment into a statement about him.
"Okay let's do this." Evie smiled.
Chad knocked on the door and smiled when he saw the butler standing there. The butler however did not seem as pleased.
"Chad welcome home, and your...the girl standing next to you looks lovely." He said.
However the way he said it made Evie feel like he didn't mean it. The butler lead them inside and when he was out of earshot Evie turned to Chad.
"I don't think he likes me." Evie said.
"Let's just say he's not one of the ones happy that VK's came over. Plus I'm his least favorite, let's just say he has to clean up messes in more ways than one." He said.
Evie nodded. She was used to people judging her because of parentage, she wouldn't let that faze her.
"I got this." She said.
Chad led her to the kitchen were Cinderella and Prince Charming stood.
Chad looked at them awkwardly. "Hi, Mom and Dad, this is Evie."
Cinderella immediately rushed over to Evie and hugged her. Evie was surprised by the embrace but loved it nonetheless.
"It's so nice to meet you, Chad has told us all about you." She smiled.
"Well only good things I hope, and I absolutely love your dress." Evie smiled.
"It's not as good as the ones you make." Cinderella said.
Evie smiled. "Nonsense I love it. But if you really love my dresses so much I will totally make you one, no charge of course."
Cinderella shook her head. "Your dresses are worth too much just to given for free, I will pay whatever their worth and more."
Chad sighed in relief. It seemed like his mom and Evie were really bonding. He turned to look at his father however the man had his eyes on his wife and Evie.
"Evie you seem like a wonderful girl." He said.
Evie sensed a but coming along. The girl gulped as she waited for him to continue.
"But I don't see why a marvelous girl like you is with someone like my son." He said.
Evie was surprised to realize that he was criticizing her, he was criticizing Chad. Evie was surprised that the man she heard from fairytales, was insulting his son. She waited for the others to burst out into laughter however no one did. She realized they were serious.
"Chad is an amazing guy." Evie said.
She couldn't help but feel defensive. Chad was an ass, but he he didn't deserve to be mistreated by his own family. Chad looked up at Evie and formed a small smile.
Cinderella cleared her throat. "Why don't we go ahead and move along to dinner."
The next twenty minutes everything was great. Cinderella was warm and welcoming, and Charming had a decent joke every now and then.
"So where did you learn to make dresses?" Cinderella asked.
Evie smiled. "It was one of the more fun chores on the Isle. If I made mother a beautiful dress she would give me an extra meal."
Cinderella sighed. "I can sympathize with having abusive parents, however you are a like a phoenix Evie. You rose from the ashes and became something beautiful."
Evie smiled and nodded. She appreciated the compliment from a queen like Cinderella.
"Thank you ma'am." Evie said.
"So, Evie how are your grades?" Charming asked.
Evie shrugged. "I have A's in everything but in Dwarf Languages, that I have a B in."
Doug used to help her study for that class, but now she had to do it all by herself.
"Better grades then my son could ever get even in his dreams." He said.
Chad frowned, he didn't say anything. In fact he didn't say much the entire dinner. Evie frowned.
"Actually Chad's pretty intelligent." Evie said.
He shrugged. "Could have fooled me."
"My two older sons went to Ivy League schools and are already starting their own businesses. Chad's sister is a doctor that's wanted all throughout Auradon. Chad will be lucky if he graduates. He's barely good at anything. I'm surprised he even made ROAR or Tourney." He said.
"You know growing up we're taught these amazing stories about your kindness and how elegant you are." Evie said through gritted teeth.
His father smiled, he was probably expecting a compliment.
"Now I realize you're a stuck up, verbally abusive piece of trash. Chad deserves better of a father." Evie snapped.
Chad looked up surprised. He never seen someone stand up to his father, and he was surprised it was coming from Evie.
"Excuse me little girl-"
"That's right you are excused. Why don't you try supporting Chad instead of treating him like he's worthless. He's clever, he's kind, he's reliable, and I'll admit it a little vain, but he is damn sure a better person than you'll ever be Mr. Charming. Now excuse me, because I refuse to sit here and let you insult someone I care about." Evie said.
Evie stood up. She turned to Cinderella. "Thank you Mrs. Charming for letting me into your beautiful home."
She prepared to walk out, however Chad followed her. He grabbed her arm and pulled her towards him.
"Thank you." He smiled.
Evie blushed. "Well I couldn't let him talk to you like that. I guess I'm just used to you claiming how great you are that it's rubbing off on me."
"I'm not." Chad sighed.
Evie grabbed his face. "You're amazing, I meant every word I said."
Chad smiled. He leaned down and kissed Evie. The girl froze, as Chad pressed his lips against hers. Chad noticed she wasn't reciprocating and pulled away.
"Did I do something wrong?" He asked.
"No it's just...I still have feelings for Doug." Evie said.
Chad frowned. "Oh. I guess I was just imagining things. I feel so stupid, I thought you were into me."
Evie signed. "I never said you were imagining things."
Evie grabbed him and pulled him in for a deep kiss. Chad wrapped his arms around her waist to pull her closer as Evie ran her hands through his hair. Their tongues fought for dominance, as Chad grabbed Evie by her waist.
He pulled away. "Do you want to go to my room?" He asked.
Evie was tempted to ask about his parents, but in that moment she could care less about how they felt.
"Let's go." She said.
"Hey Mal, can I talk to you?" Audrey asked.
Mal shook her head. "No."
Audrey frowned. "Listen you purple haired bitch, I really need you help."
"Calling me a bitch, doesn't make me want to help you." She snapped.
Audrey rolled her eyes and sat down next to the girl. "I got cast as Maleficent in the school play."
Mal burst out into laughter. "Oh, the irony."
Mal looked up at Audrey. "So what exactly do you want from me?"
"I was wondering if you could tell me about your mom, that way I could portray her authentically." Audrey said.
Mal snorted. "Just act like an awful person, on second thought that shouldn't be so hard for you."
"Come on Mal, she was your mother, and although she was a villain, I'm sure there is some things that made her human." Audrey said.
"My mother is an evil fairy, there is nothing human about her." Mal said.
"Well what made her happy?" Audrey asked.
Mal sighed. "She said she was happiest when she had her wings. She said someone she loved took them and she was never the same. I guess use that. Use her pain, no one is born a villain they're pushed their. Harness that."
Audrey was surprised by how deep Mal's answer was. "Damn...I'll try and work with that."
Mal nodded and was about to walk off when Audrey stopped her.
"You think maybe we could hang out, so you could tell me more about her?" Audrey asked.
Mal frowned. "You want us to hang out?"
"Well I don't want to, but if I'm going to do this character justice I'm going to have to know everything about her." Audrey said.
"You know we're going to kill each other if we're alone right." Mal said.
Audrey sighed. "I guess we'll have to find a way to make it work."
Mal shrugged. "Whatever, fine I'll do it."
Evie groaned when she woke up. She looked at Chad who seemed to be just waking up himself. He was shirtless and in his underwear, which was a nice sight. She looked down and realized she was clothed.
"Did we have sex?" Evie frowned.
Chad chuckled. "Don't you remember? It's not like you were drunk."
"I remember arguing and yelling a lot, then I remember wanting to get your shirt off and then-"
"You fell asleep. To be honest, it kind of hurt my feelings. You literally fell asleep while we were kissing." Chad chuckled.
Evie blushed and bowed her head in humiliation. "Oh my god. I'm so sorry."
"It's fine really. But are my kissing skills that bad, that you can't even stay awake?" He asked.
Evie rolled her eyes and kissed him. "There just fine."
Evie frowned when her phone buzzed. "Hold up, someone's texting me."
UNKNOWN: Have fun cuddling with Chad? Let's hope no one tells Doug and Dizzy.
Next: Carlos and Jane try therapy leaving Mal to plan the school dance. The tournaments begin, Evie questions her love life.
