That morning each VK had been awoken by their room mate except for Mal. Since Bree had spent the night at the castle Evie had knocked on the door to wake the purple haired fairy up. Once Mal was awake she couldn't help but worry about the night before. She just hoped no one had seen anything or they would surely be in deep trouble. She brushed off her thoughts and got ready.

Their first lesson had gone smoothly, they supposed. There had been a few little hiccups in their Remedial Goodness 101 class with the boys ending up play fighting but Fairy Godmother had simply suggested something called Tourney. The boys had both said they would sign up for try outs before the four VK's had been dismissed and Mal had spoken to Fairy Godmother's daughter in the girls bathroom before she attended the rest of her classes for the day. After all their lessons the four VK's were sat in Evie's dorm room relaxing. Mal had just finished telling Evie, Jay and Carlos how she had manipulated Jane into thinking she wasn't pretty enough, by changing her hair and a few carefully worded statements, and to ask her mom to use her wand to change her looks. The younger half fairy had even agreed to invite Mal should her mother agree. It was far too easy in Mal's opinion.

"How could you do that!?" Carlos asked. He hadn't meant to say that out loud but he simply couldn't stop himself.

Mal scoffed at his question. "Because it's an easy way to get the wand." She stated like it was the most obvious thing in the world. "Why do you care anyway?" She asked. The purple haired girl could tell he had a thing for the daughter of Fairy Godmother but she hadn't been expecting this reaction from him. Maybe things went a little deeper then she originally thought.

"It's just that the more people we involve in the plan the more chance we have of getting found out." Carlos lied. Internally he grinned at having thoguht up such a believable lie so fast. He couldn't tell the three other VK's what had gone on between him and Jane. It wasn't that he was ashamed of it but he would have to admit he really liked the short haired girl and he couldn't do that. They had always been taught feelings like that were nothing but a weakness, and he couldn't appear weak in front of anyone.

"He may have a point." Evie said, backing Carlos up. The only reasons he was, was because she was pretty sure the real reason for his objections were because he had feelings for her. Much like the blunette was sure Mal had for Ben, not that her purple haired friend would ever admit to it though.

"Urgh, whatever." Mal stated before standing from her seat on Evie's bed and walking to the door. "See you later." She said before heading out of the room and towards the main part of the school. She walked to the one place where she could loose herself and hopefully not be bothered. The library. Only Evie knew of her love of books, it wasn't something she tended to broadcast on the isle, due to her mother saying reading wasn't evil and therefore Mal shouldn't be doing it.

A few minutes later Mal found herself walking into the library. As people had been doing all day, as she walked in everyone's eyes turned to look at her. She couldn't help but roll her eyes at them. Honestly, the way they looked at her you would think they had never seen another person before. Slowly she walked over to the corner furthest away from everybody and began browsing the books on the shelf. She immediately realised she was in the Auradon history section and couldn't help but search for one book inparticular. After a few minutes of looking she came across it. Sleeping Beauty.

Slowly and carefully she pulled the book off the shelf before she sat on the chair behind her. After reading the plaque near her mother's statue she couldn't help but wonder what Auradon's 'official' version of her mother's story was. Once she was semi comfortable she opened the book she had chosen and quickly became lost in the words on the page, unaware of the person discretely watching her.

An hour later found Mal looking for something else to read. She had finished reading Auradon's version of her mother's history but didn't feel like going back to her dorm and facing the world and student population. This was her second day here and she was already hiding in the world of books, like she often did on the isle. Sure she had a task to accomplish but surely a bit of reading couldn't hurt inbetween right. It was then the purple haired half fairy came across another book she couldn't help but pick up. Beauty & The Beast.

She immediately sat down in her previous seat with it. As she opened it and began reading the first page a voice startled her from the book. "Strange book choices." The voice said. Looking up she found herself looking at her room mate, Bree.

"What do you mean?" Mal asked as she placed the book down on top of the one she had already read.

"Well I wouldn't expect to even find the daughter of Maleficent in a library, let alone find her reading my parents story and Sleeping Beauty's story of all things." Bree explained with a smile on her face as she sat opposite the purple haired fairy. Bree had seen the inquisitive, curious look of the fairy's face as she began reading and couldn't help but think of her mother, Belle, looked when she was reading. The princess couldn't help but think that the half fairy would fit into her family very easily and much better then Audrey had. Her mother had never said it but Bree was pretty sure she didn't like Audrey, merely tolerated her for Ben's sake.

Mal shrugged at the brunette princess. "What can I say, it's something I've always enjoyed." She stated, returning the brunette's smile. For some reason the purplette found herself relaxing whenever she was around the princess and her brother, although she had no idea why she felt this way. If she had to explain it, then she would simply have to say that whenever she was with Ben she felt like she was home. Like she was safe.

Bree chuckled at how much like her mother the girl in front of her was. "Nice to hear. So how are you guys settling in?" Bree asked the purple haired teen. She felt bad that on their first night in Auradon she had to stay at the castle leaving Mal by herself. It was the exact thing she had wanted to avoid which is why she had told ben to have Mal room with her, in her dorm.

"Fine, I suppose." Mal told her. "It's a big change from living on the isle. Not having to steal so we can eat or having to fight to get through the day." Mal said, not realizing she had said that out loud and Bree didn't want to draw attention to it. Although the princess felt her heart ache a little at just how bad they had been livin before Ben's proclamation to bring them over. She would have to mention this to Ben, maybe it would get Ben and Mal a little closer and her brother would finally ditch Audrey once and for all.

Sending a sad smile in the half fairy's direction she decided a change of topic was necessary and knew just the thing. "So I heard a runour that Audrey's face magically broke out in zits and rashes yesterday." Bree said, and she didn't miss the small smile that formed on Mal's face as she said this.

"Really?" Mal asked. "How strange." She stated but her smile only grew the more she thought about what she had done to the prissy princess.

"So you know nothing about it?" Bree asked, smiling herself. She wished she could have seen it but apparently Audrey had gone straight to Fairy Godmother who had lifted the enchantment before telling Ben and herself what had happened.

"Nope. Nothing." Mal said, attempting to sound innocent.

Bree couldn't fight her laughter at this. Seeing the daughter of the Mistress of all Evil trying to act innocent was extremely funny to her and she couldn't keep herself calm any longer. "Sure." The brunette managed to say though her laughter. "You keep telling yourself that." She said. It was clear to the purple haired girl the brunette princess didn't believe her but she couldn't stop herself chuckling along with the other teen. She wouldn't admit this to anyone else but she was starting to like the princess.

The two talked for a little while longer before the pair decided to head back to their dorm. Mal taking the book with her and selecting a few more of the shelf to read as well. The purplette figured she may as well enjoy her time here while she can. Once her mom gets the wand it's not likely any of these books and stories will survive. Her mother will certainly destroy them as soon as she can.

Author's Note: So it's not as long as I would usually write my chapters and has nothing at all to do with the film but I thought it would be nice to add some bonding between Mal and Bree. Please review and let me know what you think x
