EroSlackerMicha - you're so right, they aren't sure what to think.

FlatFox - thanks so much. Anita is definitely becoming one of my favorites as well.

Warning: this chapter contains some child abuse, I don't think its horrible but if you're gonna be offended by it then please move on.

Dinner was a quiet affair that evening. Mrs. Potts had brought in that evening's meal, roast beef, mashed potatoes, broccoli, and a salad. Along with milk and a pitcher of water. No dessert. "Naughty children don't get dessert" she said cooly when Jay had asked. Carlos, of course, already knew that from the last time he was on restriction. He was just happy he had someone to eat with that evening. Not that Jay ate much, his stomach churned, not knowing what was going to happen was sure to give anyone anxiety.

"Dude, how can you eat?" Jay questioned the younger boy who had finished most of his meal and was for once eyeing Jays rather than the other way around.

Carlos shrugged, "I guess cause I've already gotten my punishment out of the way, except for the detention on Saturday."

Jay nodded, that made sense, he had no idea how Jasmine and Aladdin would respond to finding out what happened.

Fairy Godmother was most displeased at the news and made sure all of them heard it loud and clear, for the entire period of Remedial Goodness 101 the next day. Apparently the headmistress took it as a personal failure that this had happened and informed them that their guardians would be coming in over the next few days to deal with them.

"Furthermore if anyone else was involved, it would be in their best interests to come forward themselves rather than be … found out … by other means." Her warning was clear.

"Now what?" Evie asked nervously as they headed back to the dorms.

"I'll talk to Aziz, Lonnie, and Ben at tourney practice tonight." Jay offered.

"I guess I'll go find Doug." Evie said and headed off to the chemistry labs where she knew Doug would be.

"Guess its Jane and Audrey for me." Mal decided as they parted ways.

Fairy Godmother was not happy when Lonnie, Doug, Audrey, and Aziz came to her later that night. She was even more unhappy when her own daughter sheepishly came into her office first thing the following morning. And by the time Prince Ben showed up the following afternoon she was irate.

"You know I have to tell your parents, Ben." she sighed.

"Please, Fairy Godmother, give me extra detentions or something, anything." Ben begged.

Fairy Godmother could see the worry in the boys face but she shook her head, no.

"Ben, I'm sorry, but I had to let all the other parents know, I can't ignore this. Not this time. I have to tell them. In addition you will not be playing tourney for two weeks."

Ben put his face into his hands and tried not to cry. His father was going to kill him.

King Adam had once been known as 'The Beast' known for his horrible temper. Queen Belle had managed to tame him, and now he sat calmly with foreign leaders, negotiated stressful treaties, captured all the villains and banished them to the isle. For all it was worth the beast was totally reformed, or at least in public. There was one person however that managed to transform his calm and collected demeanor back into the uncontrolled beast, and that person was Prince Ben. Ben had always been friendly, smart, carefree, and with a good heart, but he also managed to push his father's buttons without really even trying and the results were never ideal.

Ben sat on his bed in his room in the castle and waited. The waiting was the worst part because never really knew just how mad his father was. He hadn't even been told to go to his room, he just knew there was no other option, aside from running away completely, but he figured that really wouldn't help anything. When the door banged open Ben jumped a little and fearfully looked up as he saw his father slam and lock the door behind him. Ben scrambled to his feet and backup against the wall. His father was… growling. This was not good. Ben at 16 was almost fully grown but his father was still much bigger and stronger, and very very frightening even on a good day.

"Dad, I …. " Ben started but faltered as his father glared at him.

"Do you have any idea what it's like to get a phone call from the fairy godmother during treaty negotiations about MY SON, the crown prince of Auradon, drinking, after curfew, on school grounds, WITH A BUNCH OF VILLAINS?!" the Beast roared.

"I'm sorry" Ben whispered just before the beast struck him and he collapsed to the floor. Beast grabbed the boy by the upper arm and pulled him up and over to the bed where he tossed him face down over the edge and proceeded to whip him. Ben screamed, cried, begged as his father's belt, and occasionally even his fist landed on his back until the boy was sure not an inch of him was spared.

After what seemed like an eternity to Ben, the beast stopped and King Adam emerged again, calm, collected. "This will not happen again, Benjamin. If word ever got out about your behavior it would not go well for any of us."

If word got out about the way you treated me it'd be even worse. Ben thought bitterly, but knew better than to say anything, so instead he went with the usual safe reply of "Yes, sir." and he sobbed into his pillow. It was so unfair, his father didn't really care about what he had done, only that he had been caught and how it looked. He tried to sit up but found that he was in far too much pain to even do that, so he lay still and cried himself to sleep.

Jasmine sat on the small couch in the little meeting room her lips pressed tightly together so that you could barely see them while Aladdin paced back and forth in front of Jay and Aziz. The two adults had not been happy to hear about Jay when Fairy Godmother called the other day. They had been even more displeased to get a second phone call the following day about Aziz. The boys stood in the middle of the room nervously, neither really knowing what to expect they'd received yet another lecture, it had to be at least the third one and Jay struggled not to roll his eyes and maintain a neutral expression. The guilt he originally felt had long since disappeared and now he just wanted the whole business to be over with.

"Right then, we've decided that neither of you will participate in Tourney for the next two weeks, that means practices and games." Jasmine said.

"But you can't…" Aziz burst out.

"It's not fair!" Jay added.

"Come on, Jaz, tourney?" Aladdin had stopped pacing and looked just as horrified as the boys.

Jasmine gave him a withering glare "United front, Al." she reminded him and Aladdin had the good sense to look remorseful before nodding.

"I'm sorry boys, you'll just have to tell Coach Jenkins that we've pulled you from the team for the next 2 weeks." Aladdin finally said backing up his wifes sentence.

Coach Jenkins wanted to cry when his 4 best players all approached him before practice, still in their school clothes, to let him know that they were all suspended from the team for two weeks.
"Don't you think you're going to be allowed to get out of shape on me by not working out the next two weeks. Every day there is a practice scheduled you'll be at the track running. Now get out of my sight." the man barked. Jay, Aziz, Lonnie, and Ben groaned at the newest addition, because not playing wasn't bad enough, at least they avoided yet another lecture. Ben was thankful that they didn't have to run today at least, he knew he couldn't do it, he was still too sore from his "discussion" with his father the night before.

Evie worried her lip and watched Snows face for any sign of how upset she was. By the looks of it, very.

"What else happened?" Snow asked after a while.

Evie gave her a curious look, why on earth would Snow ask that. Evie sighed and rolled her eyes, which irritated Snow but she didn't say anything about it, "I already told you, we were celebrating Jay's birthday, someone brought a couple bottles and we all drank a bit. Then I went to bed around 2."

"Alone?" Snow asked and Evie bristled at the implication.

"Doug and I made out for a while but that was all."

Snow looked at the girl, she couldn't tell if she was being honest or not. She knew Doug and Evie had left the party together and spent some time together alone, which could mean a number of things happened, or didn't. Snow figured the only thing she could do was ask Fairy Godmother to put the girl on restriction for a while. She and Dopey had agreed that this would probably be the best option at the moment. The little man was ready to strangle his son, if he could have reached his neck, and his opinions of Evie left a lot to be desired. Snow had spent a good portion of the car ride trying to convince the dwarf that banning them from seeing each other altogether would only result in them being more sneaky about it and at long last he agreed that that might be a bit harsh.

Although Evie wasn't really thrilled with the outcome she felt it was at least fair, she had heard about Jay and the others being suspended from the tourney team either by their parents/guardians like Jay and Aziz or by the school (Ben and Lonnie) and then on top of that Coach assigning hours of running. Evie felt like it was indeed a double punishment so she wasn't about to complain about hers.

Mal on the other hand still hadn't heard a word from Queen Leah and King Stefan and the silence was maddening. By the time Friday rolled around Mal decided she needed to seek out Audrey, she found her in her room playing around with a new makeup kit she had gotten.

"Audrey, can we talk?" Mal asked from the door.

Audrey looked up surprised, the girls had come to a sort of understanding over the last break, but neither would go so far as to say they were friends. Still curiosity about what the young villainess wanted got the better of her and she nodded.

"Your parents were told about the party right?" Mal asked, feeling a bit silly.

Audrey just nodded. Everyone's parents were notified they'd been told it would happen.

"Did they get mad at you? Or do anything?" the purple fae asked not sure if that was going to be too personal or not.

The princess threw herself back onto her bed, "Oh, Mal, it was awful, Daddy took away my credit cards, every single one of them! And Mommy said she wouldn't buy me the new dress I had wanted. I even cried. She gave in a bit and sent that make up kit, which was nice but I really don't need that as much as the dress."

Mal wasn't sure what to say to that, she knew Audrey was spoiled and this clearly upset her, but she hadn't realized just how superficial Audrey was. "Oh." was about all she could say in reply.

"What about you?"

Mal looked a little uncomfortable, "That's why I asked. Leah and Stefan haven't said anything to me at all. Everyone else heard from their parents within a day, and it's been three now and they haven't said or done anything. I'm just not sure what to think, are they so mad they won't talk to me, or do they not care about what happened, or are they just waiting to fuck with my head?" the girl rattled it off so fast that it took Audrey a moment for her brain to process everything.

"I'll ask my mom about it, ok? But Grammy is pretty good about the silent treatment when she's really mad. I wouldn't be surprised if that's what she's doing."

Mal groaned loudly, her mother used to do that, she was the best at the silent treatment until Mal would beg and plead and promise to do anything just to have her mother talk to her again. It was hard enough knowing what was going on, but this… this was new, she barely knew Leah and Stefan and somehow she had the feeling begging and pleading wouldn't be the penance they wanted.

"Thanks Audrey." Mal said sadly as she headed out to her own room, she didn't really want to be on restriction like Evie or anything else but anything had to be better than the silent treatment, or worse yet learning that Leah and Stefan didn't even care enough to punish her at all.
