Roxas Itsuka - I know what is up with that teacher? He's really got it out for Carlos.
Gnome12345 - I guess we'll find out, they sure could use a few goodness classes themselves.
FlatFox - personally I think Carlos got off easy, I'm pretty sure blowing stuff up on school property is a serious offence. He's lucky they didn't ship him back.
Lonnie had just finished getting the transformation spell removed by Mal (after a few failed attempts by Jane) and the two girls headed out of the room to meet back up with Jay. They jogged down the hall at the same time Evie was coming from the other direction to find Carlos. Evie got to the doorway first, the door was open so Evie ran in, or at least tried to. The magic barrier on the room gently pushed her back out.
"What the…?" she said as Lonnie slowed to a walk.
Mal tried next only to have the same thing happen.
Jay came out into the hall to the three girls "why are you out here, come in."
Before Lonnie could say anything Jay grabbed her hand and tried to lead her into the room. Of course he got as far as the doorway before the barrier kept Lonnie out.
Lonnie giggled, "Carlos, what'd you do?"
All eyes fell on Carlos as he paused the game he was playing and came over towards the door looking sheepish.
"Come on, tell us, it must have been something good. FG doesn't dish this out unless it's really something, she hasn't even punished anyone for the sugar bowl incident and I'm pretty sure she knows who did that." Lonnie urged, her eyes sparkled with mischief.
"Carlos, what's she talking about?" Mal asked with annoyance.
Carlos just looked at the floor guiltily. "I was just working on a project, and it, uh, got a bit out of hand." The boy glanced up at Mal then shifted to hide behind Jay even though he knew she couldn't get to him.
"You idiot! For a smart kid you sure are dumb!" the purple haired girl exploded. She tried once more to get into the room to get at the boy but the barrier firmly kept her out. "Ugh" she grunted in frustration. "What is this thing?" she placed her hand on it and saw the shimmer keeping her out of the room.
"Fairy Godmothers version of being grounded..." Carlos explained with a shrug. "It's not as bad as my moms, but it still sucks."
Jay looked between Carlos and the girls outside the door, "So you can't leave? And they can't come in? Then why can I?"
Lonnie jumped in to explain, "It's your room, you need to be able to get in and out."
Jay nodded his understanding, "And food?"
"Mrs. Potts will bring it to him. So what was this project?" Lonnie asked Carlos, still unsure what the boy did.
Mal laughed "He's a fuckin' pyro."
"Am not! I just like to blow things up." Carlos huffed and crossed his arms.
Lonnie's jaw dropped and Jay gave Carlos a mild brain duster. The smaller boy rubbed his head and glared at Jay.
"Anyway, its dinner time and Mrs. Potts isn't going to bring us all dinner so we better head down to the cafeteria." Lonnie said as she looked at the time, she gave Carlos a small wave and left.
Mal gave Carlos a glare that made him cringe before she left followed by Evie.
Jay rubbed the back of his neck before glancing at Carlos, "I'll come back early tonight, we can play some video games."
Carlos smiled at the offer, "thanks." he said as Jay headed off to dinner behind the girls.

"This is so frustrating" Jane whined as she tried again to transfigure Lonnie into her alter-ego Ping. She would manage to get the hair right but leave the feminine face or get her face to change and forget to get rid of her breasts.
Mal waved her hand restoring Lonnie back to herself, "It takes time, my mother taught me some stuff since I was a little kid, I know you can do this." Mal reassured the younger half fairy.
Lonnie looked at the clock "Guys, I have to get down there the game starts soon and if I'm late…"
Mal nodded "One more try, if she can't get it then I'll do it." She turned back to Jane, "Concentrate."
Jane closed her eyes and focused on what Ping looked like then cast the spell.
"You did it!" Mal exclaimed and gave Jane a hug.
Lonnie breathed out a sigh of relief. "Thanks, see you at the game?"
"Wouldn't miss it!" Mal promised as she, Jane, and Evie headed out of the room after Lonnie.
"Come on, slowpoke." Jay called from down the hall "we're gonna be late."
Lonnie and Jay ran off to get to the field.

The game was absolutely spectacular, with Jay's strength and speed and Lonnie's maneuverability and quick reflexes the game started off with a quick goal for Auradon. About half way through the game though a loud rumble came in and the sky grew dark.
"Oh no!" Mal said "it wasn't supposed to rain!" She pulled out her spell book and flipped though it frantically.
"Mal, what's wrong?" asked Evie. Jane sat on the other side looking at the purple haired girl with concern at her sudden outburst.
"We didn't put a waterproof spell on the transfiguration spell." Mal explained.
Jane blanched. Evie's eye widened and then she started helping Mal look through the spell book.
The rain held off for a while, long enough for Lonnie to score two more goals, and then the heavens opened up and drenched every person at the game, even those with umbrellas and rain gear couldn't escape this storm. There was only a few minutes left of the game and since Auradon was up 3-0 the ref called the game. Everyone headed into the castle or their cars and within a minute the field stood empty.

The tourney team was ushered into the cafeteria, one of the few rooms without carpet for a quick team meeting before being sent off to change. Lonnie had no idea that the spell had washed off in the rain so she took off her helmet along with everyone else.
Coach Jenkins just stared at her. Chad made a face of disgust. Ben's jaw dropped open.
Lonnie looked at her teammates "Good game out there today, guys." She said, still having no idea that she didn't look like Ping.
"Lonnie?" Coach Jenkins asked.
Lonnie looked at Jay who had a panicked expression on his face. He had no idea what to say or do. Lonnie looked at her teammates again, looked down and noticed her chest was back to normal and her hair fell into her face.
"Surprise!" she said giving a little smile.
Coach Jenkins was quick to recover, "Um, Ok boys, and uh Lonnie, go back to your rooms and shower… with soap." He added that last bit while looking at a couple of the boys that were disinclined to use it without being told. "Lonnie… when you're done, we need to talk."
Lonnie looked sheepish but nodded her understanding.
/
"Why didn't you tell me that I could just take a shower to get back to normal?!" Lonnie yelled at Mal who sat on the bed in Lonnie and Jane's room.
"I didn't really think of it." Mal replied honestly.
Jay knocked on the door to the room and Jane let him in. "Well? What did Coach say?"
Lonnie took a breath, "He's more upset that I didn't just come talk to him about trying out for the team so I got a 6 game suspension and I'll be running at practice rather than running plays for the next two weeks. But at least I'm still on the team! I think he likes winning too much to kick me off."
Jay chuckled; Lonnie was the best player on the team. "So everything is ok then, in the end?"
"Yeah, I mean FG was less than thrilled, but at least I have Evie to hang out with in detention all week." Lonnie shrugged.
Evie hissed "Lonnie." She hadn't told the others of her run in with Audrey yet.
Mal raised her hand "Wait… Evie? Detention?" Mal couldn't believe it then started laughing, "Congratulations Jay, you're officially the last one of us that got in trouble." She fell to the floor and banged her fists on the ground in laughter.
Jay turned a light pink color as he looked down "Shut up, Mal."
So I'm not sure what I think of this chapter, I'm certainly not in love with it, but it is what it is.
