Late in the night the five villain kids were in the kitchen making cookies that they would infuse with the love potion. They were originally going to make the love potion normally, but they realized they wouldn't be able to get Ben to drink it without being suspicious. Jay suggested Hugh hit him so Ben would holler in pain then Jay could shove the potion down his mouth. Of course, everyone disagreed, especially Hugh, no way he was going to hit the king of future Auradon. It was Evie who came up with the idea to put the potion with cookies, she was great at baking since her mother taught her that princess like girls who can make them something to eat. Mal added the second to last ingredient into the batter. "All right. It says that we still need one tear, and I never cry" she said. "let's just cut some onions" Carlos said as he picked up an onion and held it to Mal so she could take it. "No. It Says that we need one tear of human sadness. And this love potion is the best so we have to follow it exactly" She said ignoring Carlos' onion. "A tears a tear" Jay said in disbelief that it really mattered. "That's not true, Jay. They both have antibodies and enzymes, but an emotional tear has more protein-based hormones than a reflex tear" Evie said casually, her four friends looked at her with surprised looks on their faces when they heard fact she told them, the fact wasn't that surprising, it was surprising that it came from Evie. "Listen to you" Hugh said impressed at Evie's smarts. "I knew that" Jay said defensively. Hugh and Carlos who were sitting on both sides of Jay looked at Jay and laughed when he heard what Jay said. "Did not" Carlos said. Hugh decided they should get back to the task at hand. "so, what, you want use to go find a whining baby?" Hugh asked Mal jokingly then realized that Mal might actually ask them to go find one. "No god" Mal said surprised at what Hugh said "I looked I the nearest nursery is to faraway" Hugh did a double take when Mal said her reason they couldn't use a baby, then he laughed slightly nervous. Then suddenly Lonnie the daughter of Mulan walked in, and the VKs all rushed to hid the love potion formula and put on fake smiles. "There you are, Mal! I was looking for you. You know, all the girls want you to do their hair" Lonnie said in an unusually cheery mood at this hour. Lonnie noticed the cookie mix. "Midnight snack, huh? What you guys making?" Lonnie asked curiously, Mal kept her cool and answered. "Nothing special. Just cookies" she said. Lonnie thought the batter looked delicious, so she dipped her finger in and tried some. The moment she moved her hand towards the Mixing bowl the five VKs screamed no's and stops at her, but she still ate it. Once she licked her finger clean, the VKs just stood there not knowing what to do, they just stared at her blankly. "What? I'm not going to double dip" Lonnie finally spoke. "You feel any different?" Evie asked. Jay had an idea, he'll see how well this spell affects Lonnie, besides he thought she was cute so it's a win-win. He walked up to her with swagger then leaned against a counter. "Hey" he said with charm. Lonnie was unfazed. "It could use some chips" Lonnie said then turned around to get some. The VKs looked at each other confused, then Mal said what they were all thinking. "what do you mean chips?" she asked. "Chocolate chips. Just the most important food group. Wait, didn't your moms ever make you guys, like, chocolate chip cookies? Like, when you're feeling sad, and they're fresh from the oven, with a big old glass of milk, and she just makes you laugh and puts everything into perspective and... why are you all looking at me like that?" said Lonnie. The five VKs all began to think about there parents and there relationships, their parents never mad them cookies, they all looked at Lonnie with great sadness. "It's just different where we're from" Mal said through her sadness. "Yeah, I know. I just, you know, I thought... Even villains love their kids" said Lonnie, when they heard her say those word it made them realize that their parents don't really love them, they have never done anything as close to as nice as what Lonnie described. They all just averted their eyes feeling terrible. Lonnie realized why they looked so upset. "How awful" Lonnie said while feeling sympathy for the children of the greatest villains she shed a tear. Mal was quick to react to the tear, it reminded her why they were in the kitchen in the first place. She wiped the tear from Lonnie's cheek and flicked into the cookie mix, she snapped out of her sadness and her friends snapped out of theirs when they saw Mal take action. "Yeah, well, big bummer, but we have to get these into the oven, so thank you so much for coming by. Really, really have a good night. I'll see you tomorrow. Evil dreams" Mal said to Lonnie as she escorted her out of the door. Mal then turned to her four friends with her signature evil smile. "Okay Hugh oven, Evie start mixing that tear, boys cookie sheet" she said then they got to work.
The next day after they had finished all their classes for the day, the five VKs were at there lockers putting there books away or talking to each other. Evie was talking to Carlos, Hugh was upgrading his arm so it could grip harder, while the other workshop classmates admired his craftsmanship from a distance, all the girls were thanking Mal for magically improving their hair, then Jay walked up to her looking distressed. "Are you feeling kind of weird about this? I mean, it's not so bad here, you know" He asked her. Mal looked at her surprised at what Jay just asked her. "Are you insane? Long live evil! You're mean! You're awful! You're bad news! Snap out of it!" She said trying to encourage Jay to stay evil. Jay just shrugged. "Thanks, Mal. I needed that" Jay smiled than walked away. Hugh called Jay over to him, he knew what Jay asked Mal and wanted to know what Mal said. "What she say?" He asked him when he walked over to him. "to stay nasty, and evil" Jay told his pirate friend. "yeah I knew she'd say that" Hugh said acting like that was the answer he was hoping to hear, he really wanted Mal to say she didn't think it was that bad here either. Jay then noticed some girls and walked over to them. Hugh rolled his eye's, well Jay hasn't changed, he thought to himself. Audrey was walking down the hall with the Ben when she noticed the VKs, she whispered to Ben about how much trouble they were causing, but Ben just said to give them a chance. Annoyed at what he thought Audrey walked off, which gave Mal the perfect opportunity to give Ben the love potion. "Hey bennyboo" Mal called to Ben with the cookie's they infused with love potion in her hand. Mal's call got Ben's attention and the attention of her friends, they knew her plan was in motion so they all shared smirks. Ben walked up to Mal and greeted her. Mal put on her best fake nice voice and fake smile and offered him a cookie. "No thank's, I don't eat before a big game" Ben said. Mal's friends started to panic, Jay looked at Mal and used his hand's to try and tell her to improvise. Carlos froze in panic. Hugh tensed and grabbed the table with his metal arm hard, denting it. Evie just stayed calm and believed that Mal would come up with something. One of Mal's great idea popped into her head. "No, yeah. I completely understand. 'Be careful of treats offered by kids of villains'" She said pretending to be upset. "No, it's not that" Ben said trying to not offend Mal. "No, I get it. You're cautious. That's smart. Oh, well, more for me, I guess" Mal said still pretending to be upset then she held a cookie close to her mouth about to take a bite. Just as planned Ben grabbed the cookie out of Mal's hand and took a big bite out of it. "see I totally trust you" Ben said with his mouthful. Mal just smiled at Ben and seeing her plan follow through, her friends slowly walked up to ben waiting for something to happen. Ben looked at Mal differently. "Mal have you always had those golden flecks in your eyes?" Ben asked as he looked lovingly at Mal. "How you feeling?" Jay asked Ben. "Like singing your name" Ben said to everyone's surprise, they were even more surprised when Ben started to loudly sing Mal's name, the quickly covered his mouth and laughed.
It was time for the big tourney game the fighting knights vs the Sherwood falcons, both teams had scored two points the game was very even and there was very little time left. Mal and Evie were sitting at the bleachers watching the game. Hugh, Jay and Carlos all sat on the bench. Hugh looked behind him and saw Melody standing in the stands, she smiled and waved at him, he did the same to her then looked back at the field with a wide smile. "what are you smiling at Hugh?" Carlos asked after noticing his smile. "oh, nothing" Hugh said. "It doesn't seem like nothing, I saw you talking to that mermaid girl" Jay said playfully with a smile. "Oh yeah, I noticed to, I'm sure you two will be happy together" Carlos joked. "Oh shut up both of you" Hugh said laughing. After a few minutes Coach called of two players then turned to Hugh and Jay. "You two, you're up" He said. They both shot up. "Coach, how about my buddy here?" Jay said getting Carlos on his feet. "Yeah, he's gotten better" Hugh said supporting his friend. "I don't know about that" Coach said. "And you said yourself a team is made up of a bunch of parts" Jay said. "Jay, I'm not that good" Carlos said nervously. "Well, he's kind of like my brain" Jay added ignoring Carlos. "Yeah we need him" Hugh said. "Alright fine get out there" Coach sighed. "Don't worry I got your back" Jay said. "Hugh do you have my front?" Carlos asked nervously. "Oh come on" Hugh laughed as he ran to join his team. "He's bringing that hothead Jay in from the Isle of the Lost, that raging pirate Hugh and that little guy Carlos can barely hold a shield" The commentator said as the boys ran on the field. It was clear that expectations for them were not high. A whistle blew and the game continued. Jay was the first to take the ball but was quickly swarmed by the falcons so he passed to Ben and Carlos blocks one of the falcons trying to intercept the pass. Nearly all the falcons run to Ben but High runs to them and starts defending Jay, but Hugh couldn't do it forever so Ben passes it back to Jay who takes it and runs towards the goal, he shoots but his shot is blocked by the goal keeper. The goalkeeper shoots the ball back out onto the field and Jay takes it. Hugh blocks an attack by one of the falcons trying to tackle Jay. Carlos is tackled and goes down, but Jay picks him up and Hugh runs up to them for defence. The three of them run through the kill zone, Hugh tackles some attackers from the front while they all doge cannon fire. They ran out of the kill zone and towards the falcons goal. Carlos ran in front of Jay, Carlos puts his shield up, and tells Jay to go up. Jay shoots the ball at Carlos' shield and Carlos sends the ball upward. Hugh ran towards the goalkeeper to distract him. Jay gets the ball passes the Ben and because of the distracted goalkeeper he scores. The three VKs look at each other astonished. The three of them hugged each other and cheered while Mal and Evie cheered them on from the stands. Then suddenly Ben takes the commentators microphone. "Can I have your attention, please? There's something I'd like to say. Give me an "M"!" He said then used his body to make an M. "Give me and 'A'" he said and made and A shape. "Give me and 'L'" He said once again making the shape of the letter he just said. "What's that spell?" "Mal" everyone said except for Mal "I love you Mal, did I mention that, give me a beat" Ben said then the band started to play music at Ben's request and the cheerleaders and tourney team started to dance. "Oh my god" Mal said embarrassed. "What was in that cookie?" Mal and Evie said together. Ben started to sing his love song to Mal everyone started to sing and dance along. Ben danced all the way up to Mal and he looked at her with love in his eyes. Then Audrey walked up to Ben and took the microphone out of Ben's hand. "Chad's my boyfriend now! And I'm going to the coronation with him. So I don't need your pity date" Audrey said shadily then kissed Chad. "Mal will you go to coronation with me?" Ben asked. "Yes" Mal said. "She said yes" Ben cheered, then he was told he needed to go back to the team. When he walked off Mal just smiled to herself, then she noticed Evie looked upset. "I feel really sorry for Audrey" Mal said. "You do?" Evie asked "Yeah, I feel like if she were talented like you, and she knew how to sew and knew beauty tips, that she wouldn't need a prince to make her feel better about herself" Mal said sincerely. "I guess I am kind of talented" said Evie "You are definitely gifted" said Mal "Thanks, M." Evie smiled. The girls then looked back to the field when they heard more cheering. They saw Jay being raised up by the rest of the team. "And there he is. Jay, the most valuable player. How do you like that?" The commentator said. Mal, Evie, Hugh and Carlos cheered on there friend in his moment of triumph. After a few minutes everyone started making there way back inside. Hugh noticed Evie walking back by herself while Ben was talking to Mal. "Evie" Hugh called as he jogged up to her. Evie stopped and waited for him. "I know you were interested in Chad and" Hugh said but Evie cut him off. "Mal already gave me the pep talk" Evie told him. "Oh, well in that case, what she said" He said with a laugh. "Thanks Hugh" Evie also said with a laugh. She looked over his shoulder. "I think you should be concerned about your own love life" She said looking at Melody who was walking towards them, obviously to tell Hugh well done. "I'll talk to you later" Evie said before leaving Hugh and Melody to talk.
Later on in the day Hugh was walking down the hall when he saw Mal looking distressed. "Hey Mal, what's wrong?" He asked his purple haired friend. "Nothing, I just need to find Evie" Mal told him. "Hey you can talk to me, we're friends" Hugh said. "Ben asked me on a date" she sighed. "Well, go on the date, trust me you might enjoy it" Hugh said optimistically, thinking about his time with Melody. Mal looked at Hugh and smiled, she could tell he was serious. "Yeah you might be right, thanks Hugh" she said "Anytime" Hugh said. "Stay Evil" Mal said as she walked away. "You too" said Hugh. Later on Hugh saw Mal walking towards the door behind Ben and she seemed happy. Hugh and Mal looked at each other, Hugh gave her a friendly smile and a thumbs up, Mal did the same. Hugh walked back to his dorm with a warm feeling inside.
