"Welcome back, Mal," Godmother smiled, "How did your trip go?"

"I learned a lot. I figured out some way that we might be able to make life on the island a little easier." Mal got excited as she explained some of her ideas.

"Did you go to your old house?" Mal stopped short. She didn't quite understand why Godmother was harping on that, she had just explained what she thought was a great idea and Godmother was more worried about where she went.

"Yes, but I didn't go in."

"Why not?"

"There wasn't anything there for me." Mal said it all with such a straight face. "I have nothing there for me. If fact I want to go change and find Ben."

Her plan was to sneak into her room and send Ben a quick text to meet her in the garden. She had made it through the halls without running into anybody, so she figured that she was home free. She prayed that Evie would be out with Doug, Mal still felt bad about lying to her best friend. She opened the door slowly hoping not to make noise just in case.

"Well, well, well," Mal heard the princess exclaim, "look who spent the day in ISS." Mal opened the door all the way and she could've sworn it was an intervention. Everyone sat in that room; Carlos and Irene, Jay and Lonnie, Doug and Evie, and to her horror Ben stood in the back. No one looked happy nor concerned, they were angry.

"Um... Hi guys," Mal tested the waters.

"So how did you make it all day with Audrey," Jay asked sarcastically. Mal cringed inwardly, but she thought she could run with it.

"Well I didn't kill her," Mal smirked.

"Oh cut the crap, Mal," Carlos spoke up. Mal was taken aback by his tenacity. "We know you weren't in I.S.S. Audrey was so mad that she told us."

"Oh well-"

"What the hell were you doing on the island, Mal!?" Evie was on her feet and in her friend's face. Mal tried to speak but nothing came. She looked to Ben for help, but he stood in the corner with his head down and he didn't look at her. Where is my hero? Mal thought. She is cornered, what could she do? The truth! Just tell them the truth, Mal. They are your friends they will understand, and keep your secret for as long as you need too. JUST TELL THEM THE TRUTH!

"Mal." Lonnie spoke this time, "What is going on? You've been acting strange for awhile now. What is your problem?"

"OKAY! okay," Mal threw up her hands. "You win! Huh... I'm..." Why is this so hard? Okay, Mal, just tell them the truth. "I'm the next Fairy Godmother."

"WHAT?!" everyone said in unison. Well everyone except Ben, his eyes met Mal's with a question.

"Please don't go asking me any questions. I've been training for about a month now. Apparently the wand chose me. During the coronation when I handled the wand apparently it took a liking to me just like it did all those years ago when it chose Fairy Godmother so many years ago."

Evie stepped forward, "But... what about Jane?"

"The responsibility of Godmother is not inherited," Mal explained. "Apparently the wand thinks that I am going to make a good Godmother."

No one spoke up, everyone sat there shocked. Mal didn't know what to say anymore. She'd told them, no more secrets. She opened her mouth to say something, but before she could she find any words her hand was seized by the silent and brooding prince as he dragged her out of the room.

No one moved to stop him.

Oh snap!

Author's Note: Thank you all for your patience about my updating.

Please understand I am a college student, I can only write this by taking away time from writing papers and studying. I will be a Christmas Break soon so I will post a couple chapters more regularly, but once school starts again it will be an irregular postings.
