The morning after the party found all four VK's sat outside in the courtyard. Since it was a Sunday most of the students were still in bed but after Evie, Jay and Carlos received a text from Mal saying she needed to talk they had immediately gotten ready and headed to the courtyard to meet her. There were currently sat at one of the picnic tables and all eyes were on Mal. It wasn't like her to talk aobut things so this was a new experience for them. They had over an hour before they had to leave for 'work' so they had plently of time.

"Okay, so I guess you're all wondering why I need to talk to you right?" She asked them and couldn't help but smile as she received three nods in return. "It's about my mother's plan." She stated and the three other VK's immediately looked worried.

Evie leant forward a little bit before responding "Is this really the best place to talk about this." she stated.

Mal quickly cut off anyone elses response however. "This place is fine." She told them and they all looked confused. "I'm not doing what my mother wants us to." She stated, shocking the three of them. They had not been expecting for Mal to say that when she had told them she needeed to talk to them.

"Are you sure?" Jay asked. He had known Mal since they were five years old and more then anyone he knew how scared she was of her mother. But at the same time she wanted to make her mother proud. It was a confusing combination but she had never openly defied an order from Maleficent before.

"I'm positive." Mal said. "I mean can you three honestly tell me you don't want to stay here?" She questioned them, smiling as they all shook their heads. She already knew they wanted to stay in Auradon, she had just wanted to hear them say it.

Her attention was drawn to Evie as she leant backwards, a smile spreading across the blunette's face. "Yeah I mean were actually happy here." She stated.

"Exactly." Mal responded. "Jay, Carlos, you two absolutely love Tourney. You've made friends on the team and Carlos you seem to be getting friendly with Jane." She started, noticing the blush Carlos had as soon as Fairy Godmother's daughter was mentioned. Soemthing was going on between the two but she pushed that to the back of her head for now. "And Evie, you are actually realizing how smart you are. I don't think you would be able to go back to who you used to be." She told the blunette opposite her.

"Plus, I don't think I could betray Ben and Bree like that." She explained to her three siblings. "I mean how many people would have trusted us like they have? How many people would have gotten us off the Isle and given us a chance at a normal life?" She questioned and she watched as the other three agreed with her. "We have people here who actually care about us. I actually think I might love Ben as crazy as that sounds. I just can't go through with the plan anymore. It's not right."

The purplette looked between her three siblings as they seemed to have a conversation with their eyes. She wasn't sure how they were taking this and the silence certainly wasn't helping their nerves. "Agreed." Evie, Jay and Carlos said simultaneously. Mla let out a breath she wasn't even aware she was holding at this. She was beyond happy they agreed with her.

But she was brought from her thoughts by the sound of Evie's voice. "So C, I noticed the blush when Mal mentioned Jane. What's going on with you two?" She asked the youngest of the group.

As if on cue Carlos blushed again at the mention of her name. "Well..." He started to say. The others knew just by that something had happened. "Remember the party they through to welcome us here a few weeks ago?" The white/black haired boy asked. The other three nodded immediately. "I kind of slept with her that night." He told them.

"What!?" Mal and Evie both exclaimed. They couldn't believe their little brother had done such a thing after being there barely a day. Sure on the Isle it was common but here they were pretty sure it was frowned upon, at least before marriage anyway.

"I can't believe Carlos is getting more action then me." Jay complained, btu was grinning happily.

Mal's response was to slap him. "Shut up Jay. It's your fault." She snapped at him. Seeing Evie and Carlos' confused expressions Mal decided to elaborate. "Jay spiked the punch that night." She said causing Evie to reach across the table and slap the long haried teen as well and Carlos glared at the older boy. "I have to ask though C, you obviously have feelings for her so why haven't you asked her out?" She asked.

Carlos couldn't help but sigh at this. "She wasn't there when I woke up that morning. I assume she left because she regretted it." He told them. Both Evie and Mal gently slapped in around the head for that statement. "What was that for?" He asked them. Jay was currently having a hard time keeping his laughter at bay.

"For being an idiot." Mal stated like it was the most obvious thing in the world.

Evie noticed Carlos' confused look and decided to explain for him. He clearly wouldn't work it out for himself. "C, she was probably scared. You were probably her first and she may have thought you were going to say it was a one time thing or something." She explained and Carlos couldn't help but feel bad. He had assumed that she regretted it and left before talking to her.

"What can I do to fix it?" He asked the girls. "I don't want to hurt her, I actually really like her." Carlos told the group.

Surprising the girls it was Jay who responded to Carlos' question. "Just talk to her. Explain you were worried she would regret it and you panicked. But that you actually do like her. Maybe ask her out on a date if she takes it all well." He advised his little brother.

Nodding Carlos responded with, "Thanks." Mal would have mentioned Evie doing Chad's homework but the four VK's noticed the limos pull up outside the school. Ben and Bree had arranged for each of them to ride in a limo, even though Carlos was only going to the other side of the city. They had insisted it was no trouble. The Vk's just hoped everythign today would go well or in Mal's case she hoped that Aurora would be there today. She didn't think she could lie her way out of another heavy work deep sleep.

Author's Note: So the next for chapters will follow this chapter. It was easier for me to write a diffent chapter for each VK going to meet the families. I hope you like this chapter. Please review and let me know what you think x
