After speaking to Mal and Evie about meeting up in the boys' dorm, I wandered until I found my dorm. When I opened the door, it was just as frilly and pink as Mal and Evie's had been but one bed had been occupied by someone who had a thing for light purple. I closed the curtains before looking at the bed and deciding what to do with it in the small amount of time we had here. Mal was right, with Evie's mirror it shouldn't take too long to find the wand, but we still didn't know if it was protected by anything that we'd have to find a way around.

"Well, Cerberus? What do you think?" I asked him, and he just jumped on the bed and laid his head down staring up at me.

"You're right. We're going to be here a while," I sighed before sitting in a chair behind me in front of the uncluttered desk. I glanced at the other one to see it had different things all over it. Paper with what looked like an essay written on it. A laptop with a sticker of a lightning bolt on it. Peguses figurines. Who was this girl? The door opened, and I just stared at the brunette who walked inside. She wore a light purple tank that bunched up a bit on the right while still falling to cover the top of her jeans and gold sandaled wedges. Her hair was done up in a high ponytail that showed off the gold dangle earring that had large disks with tassels on them with a matching necklace.

"You must be Helena," she said closing the door behind her. "Ben said you were coming today."

"I'm hurt," I said sarcastically. "You weren't at the big welcome in front of the school?"

"I wasn't in the committee, so I didn't have to be there," she told me moving to her bed. "I glanced out of a window." She dropped her bag in the bed before staring at Cerberus. "Is that...?"

"Cerberus, guardian of the underworld," I introduced. "He's not what he used to be, but I bet he'll regain his former form in no time." She stared between him and me for a moment.

"Cerberus and... Helena. Who's your parent?" she asked, and I scoffed.

"Wow. Guess they don't teach you anything here in Auradon," I insulted her. "I'm Hades' daughter." She continued staring before shaking her head.

"Just make sure to stay on your side of the room," she ordered before grabbing her bag again and storming to the door.

"Who's kid are you?" I asked her suddenly as she opened the door. "You seem so scared now that you know who I come from. You must know what my dad did intimately which narrows down who's kid you are to my family." She turned at stared at Cerberus before looking back at me.

"You're right. My parents were there, and Hades nearly ripped them apart."

"Tell me," I ordered.

"Hercules and Megara. Those are my parents." She stormed out of the door, and I sighed. Ben must have a sick sense of humor.


That night I was sitting in the boys' dorm waiting on Mal and Evie. Carlos was playing something on the large TV and Jay was looking through his haul from this place and what he'd gotten from the Isle that his dad hadn't taken before we'd left. I was sitting on one of the beds with Cerberus beside me flipping through one of the books that'd been provided for us. Carlos was laying as he played his game when the girls walked in.

"Jay, what are you doing?" Mal asked him as she made her way to him. Evie sat down at the table in the center of the room, and I got up and joined her.

"It's called stealing," he told her.

"Okay, what's the point?" Mal asked him.

"Well, Mal, it's like buying whatever I want, except it's free." He pulled a laptop from... somewhere... and opened it up.

"Okay. So, you can do that, or you could leave all of this here and pick it up when we take over the world," Mal reminded him, and Evie gasped.

"You sound just like your mom!" Mal placed her hand over her chest and turned to the blunette.

"Thank you!"

"You do it your way, and I'll do it mine," Jay told her putting the laptop back on the bed.

"Die, suckers!" Carlos yelled at the game, and I rolled my eyes. Boys and their toys. "Jay, come check this thing out! Man, it's awesome!" Jay grabbed the controllers and immediately ducked before fighting something off in the game.

"Hey, why don't we get a TV in our room?" I asked the girls watching Jay play his game.

"Does it really matter?" Mal asked me. "After tonight, it won't matter."

"Better not," I said watching the boys play.

"How'd meeting your new roomie go?" Evie asked me, and I groaned.

"Turns out she Hercules daughter. Good thing she's from here or I'd have to sleep with one eye open," I said.

"Guys!" we all turned to Mal, except Jay so he could continue playing his game. "Do I have to remind you what we're all here for?"

"Fairy Godmother ... Blah, blah, blah. Magic Wand ... Blah, blah, blah." Jay said making Evie, Carlos and I laugh.

"This is our one chance to prove ourselves to our parents," Mal reminded us. Jay stopped playing his game and we all looked back at her. She was right, of course. If we screwed this up we'd never be able to face our parents, the whole isle, again. "To prove that we are evil and vicious and ruthless and cruel. Yeah?"

"Yeah," we all agreed.

"Evie, mirror me." Mal sat in one of the chairs at the table in the center of the room. Evie sat beside her, Jay standing behind them and Carlos standing between me and Evie in front of a computer.

"Mirror, mirror on the... in my hand. Where is Fairy Godmother's wand stand?" Evie held the mirror out so we could all see the wand as it appeared in the mirror.

"There it is!" Mal said excitedly.

"Too bad we don't know where there is," I said.

"Zoom out," Carlos told Evie. She pulled the mirror back to her.

"Magic mirror not so close." She held it out again and she showed us the entire planet.

"Not that far out," I complained.

"Closer." It zoomed in. "Closer." Zoomed in again. "Closer."

"Can I go back to my game? I'm on level three," Carlos told us.

"Stop!" Jay said stopping Carlos from going to his game and we looked at what the mirror was showing us.

"It's in a museum?" Mal asked. The mirror was showing us a sign for The Museum of Cultural History. "Do we know where that is?" Carlos got onto the laptop and started looking it up.

"2.3 miles from here," Carlos said turning the computer to look at the others. Mal laughed before getting up and going to the door. She opened it and looked both ways before motioning us to follow her.

"Come on." We followed her down the hall before I looked back and ran back.

"Carlos!" He turned to me from his fame and I motioned to where the others were. He grabbed his jacket and followed me to catch up with the others.

"Coming!"


At the museum, Mal led us to the front door quietly before turning to Evie.

"Check your mirror," she ordered.

"Is my mascara smudged?" Ecie asked her pulling out the mirror.

"Yeah. And hey, while you're at it, why don't you see if you can find us the wand," Mal suggested.

"Sure," Evie said before looking back in her mirror. "This way." We all ran to the front door and looked inside to see a guard sitting in front of six TVs and in front of him was a spinning wheel. He turned to in his chair and we all ducked out of sight. We waited until the coast was clear before looking back inside. The spinning wheel had a sign next to it that read Maleficent's Spinning Wheel.

"That's your mother's spinning wheel?" Jay laughed at her with Carlos.

"Yeah, it's kind of dorky."

"It's magic," Mal reminded them. "It doesn't have to look scary.

"Speaking of magic and looking scary, how are we going to get past the guard to get the wand?" I asked them. Mal opened her mother's spell book and looked through it.

"Magic spindle do not linger.

Make my victim prick a finger."

The guard just leaned back in his chair staring at the spinning wheel.

"Impressive," Jay said shaking his head.

"I got chills," Carlos said making Jay laugh.

"Okay, you know what..." Mal looked through the book again.

"Prick the finger, prick it deep.

Send my enemy off to sleep."

This time the guard got up and moved to the spinning wheel and pricked his finger. He stretched and yawned before laying down and falling asleep.

"Not so dorky now, huh?" Mal asked the boys before trying the door only for us to realize it was locked. She shook it a few times, but it wouldn't budge.

"Stand back," Jay told us before moving back and we all cleared the door except Mal.

"Make it easy, make it quick,

Open up without a kick."

The doors flew open and Jay landed on his back making the rest of us laugh. Mal went inside first and kicked Jay's back.

"Coming?" Evie and I followed her as Carlos helped Jay up.

"Come on, Jay."

"I'm good."

"Just trying to help." We moved quietly past the guard into the rest of the museum.

"Carlos!" I called back to him as he stared at the sleeping guard.

"Coming!" We ran through the museum with Evie in front.

"So close," she told us before stopping at some stairs. "Upstairs."

"Come on. Go, go, go, go." Mal ordered letting us run ahead of her. "Up, up, up, up."

"Come on guys. Almost there."

"Yeah." We kept running before we came to a halt in front of a large room with five statues in it. One statue was of the Evil Queen standing in a mirror frame. She was thinner, with a large crown on her head and holding an apple in the palm of her hand.

"Mommy?" The second was of Jafar balanced on one foot in his old Grand Vizir clothing, staff in one hand.

"Killer." The third was Cruella in a long fur coat, dressed to impress, and chasing after dalmatian puppies.

"I'll never forget Mother's Day again." The fourth was my dad in his black and gray outfit an evil grin on his face. The bottom of his clothes looked like snakes rising from the ground to devour us and the blue flames behind him would flicker red on occasion to show his anger. In front of him was a smaller version of Pain and Panic along with Megara chained the same way she had been on the day she was freed from her bargain with my dad.

"I'll do whatever you say for the rest of my life." The final statue stood in the center of the room. Maleficent had her staff raised up and was looking down on all of us.

"Well, the wand's not here," Jay said nervously. "Let's bounce. Let's go." Evie, Carlos and I followed him to continue finding the wand.


Once we found the wand, Evie had to go back for Mal and we all stared at the blue field before looking down to see the wand in the center of it. We laughed before going back downstairs. Jay circled the wand while the rest of us leaned on the railing to stare at it. Jay went to duck under the rail when Mal called out to him.

"Jay, don't." Jay just grinned at her. We may have all been friends, but we were in this for ourselves. Whoever brought back the wand to their parent would be the true conquer of Auradon. Jay ducked under the rail and reached for the wand. "Wait, no! Don't!" Before Jay could touch the wand he was thrown back by the barrier and an alarm started wailing.

"A force field and a siren?" Carlos asked.

"That's just a little excessive," Jay commented.

"This is the most powerful magical item in the world and you really think they wouldn't protect with both magic and technology?" I asked staring at the boys.

"Let's go!" Mal said and we all ran out of the room and back downstairs and out the door as a phone started ringing.

"Carlos!" I called back to him.

"You're welcome," he told me walking to joining us as we ran from the building.

"Way to go, Jay!" Mal called to him. "Now we have to go to school tomorrow."
