Jay had changed after science into some shorts and t-shirt and headed to the field in back of the school where PE class was held in good weather, most of the class was already there.
"You must be Jay." Said a man with an athletic build, "I'm Coach Jenkins. You can call me 'coach'. Grab some equipment. We're playing tourney today. You can be on the blue team."

"Tourney?" Jay asked. Coach stopped and looked at him surprised.
"They don't have tourney on the isle do they, son?" Jay just shook his head. Coach took a couple minutes to explain the general concept. Jay grabbed the equipment he needed from the pile and joined the blue team.

The whistle blew and they were off, it didn't take Jay long to get the ball and start heading up the field towards the goal. A ball flew at him in the kill zone and he dodged it. Next a yellow defender tried to stop him but Jay plowed him over easily, followed by a second. He was almost at the goal and a little guy jumped in his path. Jay smirked he had already plowed over two defenders; this little shrimp shouldn't be a problem. He lowered his shoulder to take him out and the next thing Jay knew was he was on his back. The other player had managed to maneuver around him, trip him up, and get the ball. Jay sat up in shock as he watched the other player head down the field. His speed and agility were unmatched.

"Whoa, who is that guy?" He asked. Ben came over and chuckled and extended a hand to Jay to help him up.
"That guy is Lonnie." Jay looked over at Ben in surprise "Her mom is Mulan"
Jay nodded as he absorbed this new information. "Say, Jay, you're pretty good, you should try out for the team."
Jay thought about it, "Is Lonnie on the team too?"
Ben chuckled "No, of course not."
Jay looked over at her confused, "Why not, she's the best one out here."
"Girls aren't allowed on the team." Ben said simply. Jay frowned, "Well that's stupid." and ran off to join the play. Ben just stood there contemplating what Jay had said.

Coach blew the whistle for everyone to head back in, the period was almost over. Jay headed back to his dorm room to change before Goodness Class. "Hey you're pretty good out there. " a voice called out, Jay spun around to see Lonnie coming over. "Thanks, you too." He smiled with his typical smirk at her as she headed to her dorm room. "I'm Jay"
"Lonnie." She called over her shoulder and disappeared.

In the distance a bell rang signaling the end of the period. Fairy Godmother waited in the Goodness classroom for her students. She was not pleased. She had gotten two messages this morning from Mr. Willerstein about all 4 of the children being "disruptive" in class. And then Mr. Boyle had sent her an urgent message that his classroom needed to be evacuated because of Mal and Jay. The doors opened and Evie, Mal, and Jay walked in. They all looked happy after fashion design, art, and PE. Then they saw FG face and nervously took their seats.

"Where's Carlos?" FG asked. The three children looked at each other with worried expressions. Mal started to stand to go look for the youngest of her group. "Sit." FG ordered, "He might just be a few minutes behind, the science wing is the furthest away. Now then, I got quite an interesting message today from both Mr. Willerstein and Mr. Boyle. I'd like to hear from you all what happened."
Mal, Evie, and Jay all started talking at once. FG raised her hand for silence, "one at a time…. Evie, what happened in History?"

Evie took a breath and started to explain what happened that morning. FG didn't look happy but she listened to the whole thing. "Yes well, I certainly can understand your point of view and frustration; however we have a very specific curriculum..."

"That happens to be wrong." Mal interrupted.

FG gave Mal a look daring the girl to interrupt her again. Mals eyes flashed green for a moment before she averted her gaze. "As I was saying the curriculum has been the approved Auradon curriculum and that is what Mr. Willerstein is using in his classes. You are free to disagree with it, just not vocally in his class. Understood?"

"Yes, Ma'am" the three mumbled unhappily.

"Now then… Jay, Mal, what happened in Science. Mr. Boyle said he had to evacuate the classroom." Just then there was a knock on the door, FG went to open it to find Jane standing there.
"Jane, what are you doing here?" FG asked her daughter.
"Carlos forgot his stuff in science." Jane lifted up Carlos' bag that she was holding. That got Jays attention, he knew something had to have happened for the boy to "forget" his bag.
"Oh, my. " FG started, "You haven't seen him have you? He didn't show up for class."
Jane shook her head, "Not since he ran out of science class."
"Ran out?" Jay asked, walking closer. Jane froze and her eyes widened as she saw the older boy, swallowed and nodded her head.

"Y- yeah, he ran out about half way through class." She handed her surprised mother the bag and quickly left.

Jay took the bag from FG and looked in the small pocket; sure enough there was his phone "Well we can't call him to find out where he is." He stated showing the girls the phone.

Evie had already pulled out her mirror to find the boy.
"Mirror, mirror, …in my hand
where does my friend Carlos stand"

Because the equipment room Carlos was locked in was dark, all Evie could see was black in her mirror.
Mal huffed in frustration. "Maybe he's somewhere dark?" She guessed. Evie nodded and zoomed out, but the locker room was dark too. She zoomed out further to see the door to the locker room. Then further out to see it was at the other end of school toward the field house. All three kids took off running. FG managed to stay surprisingly close considering she was wearing heels. The children found the locker room and quickly went in
"Not so fast! You can't be in here." A man called out from the office next to the locker room as he spotted Mal and Evie trying to get into the boys locker room.
"Our friend's in there." Mal responded quickly as they ducked past the man and ran in. Jay flipped on the light.
"Carlos!" They called out, "CARLOS!"
Jay spotted the door to the closet and tried to open it. A locked door was no match for the three VKs, Evie quickly pulled out a bobby pin from her hair and expertly picked the lock. The door banged open and they could see inside. Carlos, curled up in tiny ball in the back corner on a little nest of pinnies, he blinked at the sudden brightness.
"What took you so long?" He asked with a little smirk, relieved that they had found him.
"Next time keep your phone in your pocket." Jay countered tossing the boy his cell.

"Carlos, are you alright?" Fairy Godmother rushed in to help the boy up. He nodded

"Yeah, I'm ok."

Mal was furious, "This is why we need to have the same classes, it's not safe!" She started to rant.

"MAL!" Fairy Godmother raised her voice to get the girls attention, "If Carlos had been where he was supposed to be, in class," here she paused to give Carlos a disappointed look causing the boy to find his shoes exceedingly interesting, "then this wouldn't have happened."

"I DON'T CARE," Mal shouted back "we need to be together, this is all so fucked up."
"I'll ask you to remember who you're speaking to, young lady." FG responded with such an austere tone and glare that Mal immediately shut her mouth. She glared back at FG with her glowing green eyes, but FG had magic of her own and not only was completely unaffected by Mal's glare, she merely had to lift her eye brow in silent warning for Mal to back down. Not even Maleficent had been able to "win" their power struggles so effortlessly.

"Now then" FG continued, " you three, I believe you have free time till dinner, may I suggest starting in on homework, I'm sure you have a bit to catch up on. Carlos, you come with me." She purposefully walked out of the locker room. The four children glanced at each other feeling completely adrift in what they were supposed to do. "CARLOS." FG called back to him. Carlos looked despondent as he scampered off to catch up.

Despite the Fairy Godmothers short stature (which was still taller than Carlos) she walked so fast that Carlos had to jog to keep up with her. She led him back to her office and gestured towards one of the chairs. The boy sat down and fidgeted with the dog tail he wore hanging from his belt.
"Carlos, " FG said gently, " can you describe who did this?"
Carlos gave it his best effort, which admittedly wasn't very helpful, the whole ordeal happened so fast, he didn't know anyone, and had been completely lost and panicked when the older boys had found him.
He couldn't even say how many there were, he thought 5 but it could have been 6 or even 7 of them.

FG pressed her lips together and nodded as he spoke. When he was done, she asked the question he was dreading, "And why were you in the locker room across campus when you were supposed to be in science class?"

That awful dead frog flashed in his mind again, he had almost forgotten about it, he tried to speak but no words came out, he couldn't explain it, he kept his eye averted and just shook his head.

FG narrowed her eyes, "Carlos, you know you can't just run out of class, right?" the boy opened his mouth to speak, but shut it again just as fast and nodded.
"I see, and can you explain what happened in Mr. Willerstein class this morning. I got a note saying you were being disruptive"

Carlos looked up at her, eyes wide in surprise. "I…. I wasn't" is all he could sputter out in defense.

FG nodded and explained the same thing she had to the other VKs about the curriculum.
"Can I go now?" Carlos said bluntly after FG had finished explaining.
She nodded and Carlos got up to leave, "Carlos," she called and he turned to look at her, "any more notes from your teachers about issues and you will be receiving detention." She promised.
"Yes, ma'am." He whispered so softly that FG almost didn't hear him.

Carlos stood outside the door to his room; he didn't really want to go in. "Might as well get it over with" he told himself and opened the door. Jay, Mal, and Evie all looked at him. None of them said anything for a bit.
"So are you going to tell us what happened?" Mal asked crossing her arms and looking at him.
Carlos sat down on his bed and shrugged, "A bunch of assholes shoved me in the closet and locked me in."
Evie came over and sat next to him and gently said "You know that's not what we mean. What happened in science to make you freak out and run off, and then end up on the other side of campus?"
The dead frog flashed in his head again and Carlos shuttered. Evie put her arm around him and pulled him close. "Please" she whispered encouragingly, "we can't help if we don't know what happened."

After a bit gentler prodding from Evie, and a few setbacks from Mal getting frustrated and yelling, Carlos managed to explain what happened.
"Alright, let's go get some dinner." Jay said "I'm getting used to this eating regularly thing, and I'm hungry."
"You're always hungry" grumbled Mal, but she was already halfway out the door herself.
