Shoutout to Kelsey,Ravenclaw Slytherinfor the support. And to Taffdog19943, yes, yes I did.
Later that night the five villains children were in the kitchen making the batter of cookies that would become the love potion for Ben.
"Alright all we need now is a tear, and none of us ever cry." Mal said.
"So let's chop up an onion." Carlos suggested holding one up from his spot next to Jay on top of the counter.
"No." Ruby told him. "It has to be a real tear of human sadness. And this love potion gets the best reviews so we have to follow it exactly."
"A tear's a tear." Jay defended.
"Not true Jay, they both have antibodies and enzymes but a emotional tear has more hormone-based protein than a reflex tear." Evie told him.
Ruby and Mal looked at her impressed while Carlos oohed at Jay.
"Check you out." Mal praised.
"I knew that." Jay defended."
"No you didn't." Carlos shot back.
"Did too."
"Did not."
As they started bickering the door opened and Lonnie strolled in. "Hey guys." She greeted. "Mal, Ruby you know all the girls want you guys to do their hair." She told them. "Midnight snack huh? What you making?" She asked peering into the bowl.
"Nothing cookies." Ruby was quick to respond.
Lonnie hummed then dipped her finger into the bowl and brought t to her mouth. "No!" The five shouted and Lonnie froze with her hands in the air.
"What I'm not gonna' double dip." Lonnie defended.
"Do you feel anything?"Evie asked.
"Yeah, like it might be missing something?" Mal added.
Jay jumped off the counter and sauntered up to Lonnie. "Hey." He greeted smoothly.
Lonnie looked at him strangely before addressing Mal. "Could use some chips."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when she turned her back and went to the fridge. "And those are?" Ruby questioned.
"Only the most important food group." Lonnie said as she came back with the bowl of little brown pebbles and poured some into the bowl. "Didn't your parents ever make you guys chocolate chip cookies?" Lonnie continued innocently. "Like when you're feeling sad. And they're fresh from the oven with a big glass of milk, and they just make you laugh and put everything into perspective?" Lonnie trailed of when she noticed the stares she was receiving. "Why are you guys looking at me like that?"
"It's just different where we're from." Mal confessed.
Lonnie breathed a laugh. "I know I just thought, you know even villains love their kids." Lonnie stared at their uncomfortable faces and immediately started feeling bad. "I am so sorry." She said placing a comforting hand on Mal's.
That was when Ruby looked up and noticing the tear running down Lonnie's cheek, she quickly reached up and swiped it flicking it off her finger and into the batter. "Yeah well big bummer but we really gotta' get these into the oven." Ruby spoke quickly leading Lonnie towards the door while the others shook it off. "Thanks so much for stopping by. Goodnight. Evil dreams." As the door closed behind Lonnie, Ruby turned back to the others. " Alright Evie oven, boys cookies sheets, Mal cooking spray." Everyone moved to do as told but were still thinking about what Lonnie said.
The next day was the day of the school's big Tourney game and Jay approached Mal who was at he locker waiting for Ben to be alone.
"Hey you feeling kinda' weird about all this?" Jay questioned leaning against a locker. "I mean it's not so bad here you know?"
"Are you insane?" Mal hissed at him. "Long Live Evil! You're mean. You're awful. You're bad news. Snap out of it." She snapped her fingers in front of her face.
Jay stated at her for a beat then smiled. "Thanks Mal. I needed that." Mal smirked then patted his chest before turning and grabbing the cookie out of her locker. Jay turned and grabbed Ruby around her waist as she game around the corner with Doug.
"Hey."
"Hi." She giggled.
"Big game today."
"I know."
"You gonna' be there?"
"I might."
"Look out for number 8, scoring the winner goal." Jay said arrogantly.
"Really now?"
"Yeah."
"Yeah? Well then I guess I could, make an appearance." Ruby suggested teasingly.
"You better. You're my good luck charm."
"Is that so?"
"Mhm."
Then Jay leaned down to claim the kiss she'd promised him but Ruby happened to look over his shoulder and stopped him. "Wait!" She seeing seeing Ben take a bite out of the cookie then Mal look back at them. "C'mon." They all started moving closer.
". . . have you aleays had those green flecks in your eyes?" Ben asked as Jay moved behind him and gripped his shoulders.
"How you feeling, bro?"
"I feel, I feel, like singing your name!" Ben began to do just that but Mal quickly placed her hand over his mouth and passed the cookie behind her back which Ruby grabbed and stared at in awe.
"Ruby, I have to ask," Evie began as the three girls made there way to the Tourney field. "Whats going on with you and Jay?"
"What do you mean?" Ruby questioned.
"I mean," Eve teased. "I saw you guys getting flirty in the hall."
"Flirty?" Ruby repeated. "No that's just us. Jay-"
"Likes you." Mal cut her off. "I mean really likes you. Even I can see that."
"No." Ruby said as they came closer to the bleachers. "Jay's just a friend."
Evie smirked and nodded over Ruby's shoulder. "Here comes your friend."
Ruby turned and sure enough the team was running from the locker room towards the field but Jay was running towards them, or more specifically towards her.
Jay strode with purpose as he approached her, and when he was close enough he reached out to wra an arm around her waist and the other went to the back of her head to help support her as he dipped her low and pressed a gentle but firm kiss to her lips.
Easily he brought her back upright and released her.
"Now that's good luck." Jay smirked and winked before running to catch up with the team leaving Ruby in shock.
"Yeah, Just friends." Mal teased as she strolled up behind her and patted her shoulder then moved up the bleachers.
Evie squealed then grabbed Ruby's arm dragging her to the bleachers as well.
"This is a nail biter folks! There's forty?seven seconds left on the clock, and we're all tied up! The Sherwood Falcons?2, the Fighting Knights?2! What a game between Auradon's fiercest rivals!" The announcer yells into the loudspeaker.
"The Dragoneers have been laying down with a hail of fire and now a substitution." The coach whistled and Jay stood up, ready to go back on the field. Jay paused and stopped to talk to the coach. A second later, the coach was telling Carlos to go on the field too, pulling out a different guy.
"He's bringing that hothead Jay in from the Isle of the Lost and that little guy, Carlos, who can barely hold his shield!" The Announcer said. "Jay dishes off to Prince Ben. Nice little block by Carlos! He does a little jig in his fallen opponents face!"
The crowd cheered. "And now Jay gets the ball back. Here comes Jay! Jay, hurdling maneuver at mid?field! Jay makes a nice pass to Ben through the kill zone!" The announcer yelled, getting excited.
"Big block by Chad! Jay dishes odd to Ben, and then Carlos, with a big block, goes down. Jay, through the kill zone, picks up Carlos. Oh! He's being hammered by dragon fire, but he's dodging all of it! Jay, hurdling maneuver at mid?field, he's in the clear!" The announcer yelled.
"The ball goes back to Jay! He passes it to Ben! He scores!" The announcer screamed into the mic. The crowd went crazy. People in the crowd started hugging and shaking each other.
The announcer started up again, "Prince Ben has won it! What an unselfish play by Jay! Incredible teamwork! And it's the new guys, Jay and Carlos, who set up the win for our dear Prince! Here they come! The winners of the tourna-"
Ben grabbed the mic from the announcer cutting him off. "Excuse me!" Ben said, jumping up on the pedestal, cutting the announcer off of his speech. "Excuse me! Attention! Please!" Ben said.
The cheering crowd quieted down. "There's something I'd like to say!" He looked out at the crowd, everyone's attention drawn on him.
"Give me an M!" Ben shouted, making an 'M' shape over his head. "M!" The crowd shouted back, making the same 'M' motion. "Give me an A!" Ben shouted, doing an 'A' shape now. The crowd repeated his actions. "Give me an L!" Ben shouted, doing the 'L' shape last.
"What does that spell?!" Ben shouted to the crowd. "MAL!" The crowd cheered back. Mal's jaw drop. "Come on, I can't hear you!" Ben shouted. "MAL!" Evie and RUby yelled at Mal on either side of her. "I love you, Mal! Did I mention that?" ben said into the mic. Audrey screamed, and stomped off the field.
"Give me a beat!" Ben yelled, pointing to the band. "Uno, dos, tres, quarto!"

The team launched Ben into the crowed and he crowd surfed the bleachers, making his way to Mal. Once he was set down, he finished his song, hugging Mal. She looked a little uncomfortable, but had a smile plastered onto her face. "I love you, Mal. Did I mention that?" Ben finished, holding Mal.
Audrey came back, stomping up the bleachers, and grabbed the mic out of Ben's hands. "Chad's my boyfriend now, and I'm going to go to the coronation with him. So I don't need your pity date!" Audrey said into the mic before planting a big kiss on Chad and Evie looked furious.
Ben took the mic back from Audrey. "Mal, will you go to the coronation with me?" Ben asked.
Mal pulled Ben's hand closer to her so she could speak into the mic. "Yes!" Mal said.
"She said yes!" Ben cheered. Everyone cheered?well, except for Audrey and Chad. Audrey looked even more upset. The crowd went crazy. Audrey ran away, Chad following her.
"Ben c'mon the teams waiting for you." Jay said coming up behind her, he gave Ruby a wink as he dragged Ben away.
Ruby blushed while Mal toyed with Ben's jersey for a minute before they both looked at a hurt Evie.
"You know I feel kinda bad for Audrey." Mal told her.
"You do?" Evie questioned insecure.
"Yeah," Ruby took over. "I think that if she were talented could sew, and knew beauty tips like you, she wouldn't need a prince to make her fell better about herself."
"I guess I am pretty talented." Evie said with a small smile.
"You are extremely talented." Mal confirmed.
"Thanks guys." Evie said smiling.
The crowd suddenly roared as the team lifted Jay up on their shoulders and he held the trophy in his hands. "There it is ladies and gentlemen Jay, the most valuable player. How about that?" The announcer said while the girls cheered and Mal and Evie playfully poked at Ruby.
So sorry for the long wait but life just caught up to me.
But I gave you guys a long chapter to make up for it plus to a nice Ruby/Jay moment.
So let me know what you think.
