"Come on, Janey," Arborary said menacingly, "try that again."

Jane looked at all three girls, their wands out, all pointed at her, and felt a sense of dread come over her.

"Yeah," Animalia and Mistywind added, sounding like parrots on Arborary's shoulders.

"Why can't you just leave me alone?" Jane asked, her voice quaking slightly, but still calm, doing her best not to give her three bullies the satisfaction of knowing how much they were scaring her.

"If you hadn't knocked us on our asses, we might've let you and boyfriend walk away, but we aren't fans of laying down for halflings who barely know how to use their powers."

"I know how to use them now," Jane fired back. The trio laughed.

"What? Did your mommy decide to teach you?"

"Not just her," came an approaching voice.

Arborary, Animalia, and Mistywind all turned and saw Mal charging toward them. Upon closer inspection, they could see Evie right behind her. "Oh great, another halfl-"

Before Arboray could finish, Mal waved her hand and sent the trio flying to the ground. What the hell, is it ruin my dress day, Arborary asked herself. As she and her friends shake off the fall, they look up and see Mal and Evie standing between them and Jane like angered attack dogs. They were followed shortly by Ben, Jay, Doug, and Audrey.

"Well if it isn't Maleficent's offspring," Aborary chuckled as she and her friends lifted themselves from the ground. "I don't know if you know this, but this little talk is between us and Jane."

"No, we're between you and Jane," Evie corrected.

"It's Evie, right?" Evie nodded. "I suggest you don't get involved, because last time I checked, you don't have the power to keep this fair," Arborary tried to intimidate.

"I can hold my own," Evie smiled.

The trio stared at Mal and Evie, surprised that they weren't running. It was something the three of them weren't used to, at least not once they pulled their wands. As each one of the good fairies daughter's looked over the two VKs, they were a little concerned. They were tough; they knew that about themselves, but now it looked like they might actually have to prove it.

As de facto leader, Arborary was thinking for an out for the first time ever. The problem was she couldn't think of anything that didn't make her and her friends look weak, and fairies, at least pure blood fairies like them, weren't weak. Thankfully, before she completely ran out of ideas that didn't involve running away scared or starting an actual fight, an exit presented itself.

"Alright, why don't we all just take a step back and breathe," Ben interjected as he stepped between the two groups of girls. "This doesn't have to go any further that it already has."

"I completely agree," Arborary said as she magically put away her wand. She motioned for Animalia and Mistywind to do the same. "Bygones and all that; in fact, Janey, apology accepted."

"Apology?" Jane shouted. "You came after me."

"You knocked us to the ground," Animalia said sweetly.

"You three insulted my mother."

"You did what?" Mal blurted out. Jane told them what the trio had said, and Mal felt herself fill with anger. She turned back toward them, her eyes glowing green and ready to shoot daggers. "Give me one good reason not to –"

"Mal, calm down," Ben interrupted, putting himself in front of her, his hands on her shoulders, fully prepared to hold his girlfriend back.

"Calm down?"

"Fairy Godmother would not want you fighting because of her. And she would let this go as well, so you should too."

Mal leaned over and looked at the trio. "Let Carlos loose – now."

Arborary snapped her fingers and the vines released their hold and receded back into the ground. "His voice, too," Jane said.

Animalia snapped her fingers and Carlos opened his mouth to speak. "How are you three the daughters of the good fairies!"

"Just born lucky," Mistywind answered.

"Well, all's settled, so let's go girls," Arborary said sweetly. The three of them began to leave.

"Wait one second," Mal called to them.

"Mal," Ben said.

"It's okay, baby, I'm not gonna hurt them," she told him, although she almost reconsidered when she heard them snicker. She grabbed Jane by the hand and had her walk with her up to them. "The next time you want to mess with Jane, I want you three to remember that that means you're messing with both of us. And while I'm sure that right now, you three might better trained than me and Jane, I want to remind you that she's the daughter of the Fairy Godmother. I'm the daughter of Maleficent. The two most powerful fairies in the world; even more powerful than your mothers. We might not be as well trained – yet – but I bet on raw power alone, we'll send you three crying home after we spank you."

Arborary looked between her two friends and smiled haughtily. "Toodles…rookies." All three of them began laughing as they walked away.

"Let me know if you want to date a real fairy, Carlos," Mistywind said looking back over her shoulder.

Jane's anger came rushing back when she heard that and decided that Ben's mediation wasn't going to stop her. "Beware, forswear, replace the old with no hair."

"Jane don't," Ben shouted, but it was too late. He, along with Mal, Carlos, Jay and Audrey, and Doug and Evie watched as the heads of the trio began to have swirling lights orbit around them before a final bright flash occurred. When the light show ended, the assembled group gazed upon and, in the ccase of a few of them, let out giggles that they really did try to hold back, the sight of Arborary, Animalia, and Mistywind – now bald.

The three of them screamed and ran their hands over there smooth scalps. They looked at each other and their loud screams became even shriller. "What did you do you little bitch?" Arborary screamed at Jane.

"I think you can tell," Jane fired back. Mal finally let out the laugh she'd been holding in.

Arborary raised her hand and her wand appeared. The next thing Jane and Mal knew they were pressed up against the tree, even more vines than were used to hold Carlos sprouting and wrapping themselves Jane and Mal, binding them to the tree's trunk.

"Hey," Ben cried, charging forward, Jay and Evie along with him. They stopped in their tracks as Animalia and Mistywind called their wands and aimed at them. Mistywind shook her head angrily.

Mom help.

"Any last words before I have Ani here turn you two into frogs?" Arborary asked.

Before they could answer, all the trio felt an intense heat come over their wands and groaned in pain as it finally burned their hands. They dropped the wands and watched in personal horror as the wands then burst into flames.

"Our wands," screamed Arborary. She looked back at Jane and Mal and walked until she was practically standing between them. "Which one of you did that?"

"I did actually," came a voice from behind them.

Almost instantly the trio's eyes widened in fear, and then they closed as their heads fell, each one praying the voice they heard wasn't actually the voice they heard. When they turned, they realized that their luck had run out as they stared at the Fairy Godmother standing before them, her usual smile gone, replaced by a look of anger.

"Fairy Godmother," Arborary gasped, sounding as if she was struggling to breathe. "How are you this –"

Arborary stopped when Fairy Godmother held up her finger. "You three," she pointed at the trio, all of them holding up their hands in defense, "stand over here," she instructed as she pointed at a spot separate from everyone else. They moved without question, their heads hung in dread.

Fairy Godmother then turned back to Jane and Mal, and made her wand appear. With perfected flourish, she waved it at them and the vines simply disappeared. "You two, with your friends," she ordered. Mal and Jane did as she asked, also without question. She began looking between Arborary, Animalia, and Mistywind, and then looked between Jane and Mal. "You and you," she said, pointing at Jane and Animalia, "come with me."

The assembled group of teens watched as Fairy Godmother marched Jane and Animalia away from the fray and began talking. Eventually they realized that she was making them tell her what happened. She'd chosen Jane because she knew Jane wouldn't lie to her, and she'd chosen Animalia since she was essentially the least likely to lie to her. After a few minutes, the three of them returned with Jane and Animalia rejoining their respective group.

"I will be paying visits to each of your mother's tomorrow to discuss how you should be punished for this. Until I do, you will three will stay at your own homes, am I clear?" The trio nodded. "I said: am I clear?"

"Yes," they said in unison. She raised her eyebrows at them. "Yes ma'am," they corrected themselves.

She raised her left hand, but before she could do anything, Arborary raised her hand like a scared student in class. "Yes?"

She looked between her friends and then back at Fairy Godmother as she lowered her hand. "W-what about our hair?"

"I will put it back after I speak with your mothers. And just to make sure that they don't see fit to put it back themselves," she trailed off, and the she waved her wand at them and once again their heads glowed. "Now, once again, stay at home until I arrive," she instructed before snapping her fingers and sending all three back to their respective homes.

She then turned to Mal and Jane and their friends. She looked over at the others. "You all may stay until whatever curfews have been set for you," she told them, her voice level, but still not hiding her anger. "But you two young ladies," she said turning her attention to Jane and Mal, "you are coming home with me right now."

They nodded, and like the trio before them, got a raised eyebrow. "Yes ma'am."
