Evie and Doug where laid out under a tree pouring over their math assignments. Ben had been looking for them for a good twenty minutes, hoping that he'd run into Mal before he actually tracked them down. He stood back and watched his buddy enjoy the company of an amazing girl. After one too many girls making him feel worthless it felt good to see him happy. Evie wormed her way into Doug's heart and sewed it back together and for that Ben will always be grateful to her. If he wasn't so determined to find Mal he would've turned and walked away.

"Sorry to interrupt," Ben called out.

"Hey Ben, we were just working on Trigonometry," Doug smiled. He quickly became sober when he saw the concern on Ben's face. "What's up, Ben?"

"I can't find Mal... anywhere."

Evie perked up at the mention of Mal. "She didn't tell you? Mal got in-school-suspension with Audrey."

"What?" Ben exclaimed. "That can't be right. I was there when Audrey got the suspension but Fairy Godmother didn't say anything about Mal getting it too."

"But that is what Mal told me," Evie defended. "Why would she lie to me?"

"Think about it, Evie," Doug spoke up. "She has been acting a little weird in the last couple of days."

"She said that she was just having a hard time adjusting to some of the new things that have been happening."

"That's the point," Doug continued. "She made the same decision you all made and yet some of the changes are effecting her in a harsher way then the rest of you?"

Ben felt the need to defend his girl, "Well she is the daughter of the Mistress of All Evil. It is probably harder than she figured to purge herself entirely of the evil within her."

"Yeah," Evie smiled. "But if she isn't in ISS than where would she be?"

Ben shrugged, "I was hoping I could use you and your mirror to help me find her." Evie eagerly agreed and searched for her mirror.

The hand-held device started glowing as Evie spoke, "Mirror Mirror, Master of Finding, please show us where Mal is hiding?" Before the picture could even come into focus Evie gasped. She knew that awful background and didn't need the help of rotten fruit in the air to silently gag.

"Where is that," Doug asked.

"Why is she on the island, Ben?" Evie turned to the young prince in a justified horror.

"That is the island?" Doug voiced again.

"Our childhood house, to be exact." Evie sneered. Why was Mal standing outside of it? "Ben. Explain. NOW!"

"I am just as shocked as you, Evie. I have no idea what is going on." Ben stepped away from the enraged princess. Some movement from the mirror caught his attention. "Wait, something is happening."

In the frame they saw the purple fairy walk away from the front door with a small smile on her face. She did go far when she found the palace car waiting for her around the corner. On this side of the mirror there came an audible sigh. Ben knew that car would be bringing her back to Auradon... to him. Evie's confusion wouldn't settle.

"What the hell?"

"We should probably let Mal explain this on her own terms," Ben tired to reason.

"Screw that!" Evie snapped. "She owes us an explanation and I am determined to make sure we get one. When she gets home we are going to be waiting for her."
