Auradon Prep's Headmistress' Office - Wednesday Afternoon
It has been three days since the annual tea party, and everyone was still super excited from meeting their friends from all over the globe. While everyone was out talking about their friends from over the globe, Mal was with Fairy Godmother having their usual Magic 101 class together.
"That's very good, Mal. Now concentrate and try to use the transformation spell to turn yourself into Evie."
"Transform, reform, make me look like Evie to all."
A tiny smoke formed around Mal, but nothing changed on her.
"It's ok, Mal. This spell wasn't easy. We will try that spell again for our next lesson. I believe we have done enough magic for today, let's call it a day?"
"Yes, please. Fairy Godmother, I have meant to ask you about something?" Mal nodded and sat down on the chair across to Fairy Godmother's table.
"Is it about Ben's sudden outbreak or your eyes?"
Mal nodded her head quickly.
"Mal, I'm afraid I will not be able to stop your transformation as it's in your blood. That is who you are, but I can teach you to control it. I'm afraid I can't say the same for Ben's situation. I have tried to check on Ben's health to see if there is any magic in his system, but I was not able to find any. All I can say to you and Ben is to be very careful with your emotions until I have figured out a way to teach you to control your transformation and also a cure for his condition. I will be making the trip to the Honeymoon Cottage to speak with Flora, Fauna, and Merryweather tomorrow. I'm sure we will work up something." Fairy Godmother assured.
"Thanks for everything, Fairy Godmother." Mal expressed.
"You're most welcome, dear one." Fairy Godmother reached out for her hand and comforted the worried purple-haired girl.
Liv's Dormitory – Thursday Afternoon
"Alright, Ylma! You have to come out eventually! I'm sure you'll look amazing." Liv begged for the third time after sending Ylma into the bathroom to change into the outfit she has picked for her first date with Gavin.
"NO, Liv! I looked horrible. I looked like cotton candy just throw up all over me. It's disgusting!" Ylma's annoyed and angry tone emerged from the closed door.
"Gavin will be here in like ten minutes, can you please step out of the bathroom to let me see how could I fixed you?" Liv shouted back at the door while eyeing at the white clock on her bedside table.
Ylma groaned in frustration, and after a few seconds, the door clicked. A pair of bare-footed legs stepped out of the room, bringing out a brown-haired girl who was wearing a light pink sweetheart neckline cocktail dress, showing her beautiful neck and shoulder. The only thing that does not go with the beautiful dress was the deathly stares Ylma was giving to Liv.
"Why can't I just wear my own clothes?" Ylma groaned in frustration.
"Because you are going on your first date. And stop complaining, you looked amazing!" Liv walked forward and grabbed her hand before walking towards her bed. "Now, sit! So I can fix your hair and make-up…" Ylma was about to say something when "and not a word from you until I'm done with you."
Ylma closed her opened mouth and stared at the hand-crossed Liv in front of her for a few seconds before admitting defeat and nodded her head.
A smile started to curl on Liv's face as she turned to the opened make-up bag on her bed to start to work on her magic on Ylma.
Five minutes later, Liv put away the blush and put away her make-up and walked towards her closet to get a black leather jacket with a few zippers on it and an embellished vintage black hat. She helped Ylma put on the jacket and let Ylma the black hat on her head a bit slanted before pulling her friend off the bed to show her the final look of her outfit.
"Woah."
Ylma looked into the mirror and found a very, very pretty girl with a cute black hat, leather jacket, pink dress and a pair of angle-high black boots. The girl in the mirror looked cute but also fierce, looked pretty but also tough and most importantly, she felt like this is who she is all along.
"I know, you looked amazing in this outfit. I had had this image of you in my head when I was picking this outfit for you. I know you are not into all the princessy stuff, but I know pink is also one your favourite colours so here you go. I'm glad you liked the outfit." Liv said as she gracefully held her hands together under her chin, interlocking her fingers.
Ylma turned around and wrapped her arms around Liv's shoulder.
"Like it? I love it, Liv! Thank you so much."
"Thank me by telling me everything that happened on your date tomorrow before class and also please promise me you'll lose…"
A knock on the door interrupted Liv.
Both Liv and Ylma knew perfectly who was at the door. Liv and Ylma had shared a look before Liv walked towards the door with a big smile on her face while Ylma held her breath as though she is going to trial.
"Hey, Liv. Is Ylma ready?"
The door opened to reveal a blonde guy in a button up white shirt and dark blue jeans with a bouquet of pink roses.
"Yup," Liv said as she turned around to the girl behind her.
"Wow," Gavin exclaimed.
"Hey." Ylma blushed as she greeted while walking towards the door.
"You looked amazing, Ylma. Here, these are for you. I hope you like roses." Gavin complimented as he extended his hand to give the brown-haired girl a bouquet of roses. "Oh, and Liv, thanks a lot."
"Have fun, kids." Liv took a step to stand behind the couple and started to push them out of her room before teasing them, "And remember to always use protection."
Liv words caused Liv to be even redder and Gavin to chuckle and shook his head at his surrogate sister.
"Let's go. I borrowed Ben's bike so we could head into town for some local fun…"
Ylma nodded as she listened to what her boyfriend had planned for their first date. Looking at how Liv and Gavin had been, Ylma is starting to miss all this peace and quiet when the villains started to take over everything. Is being evil what she really wants? Looks like this is the question where she can only find the answer within herself.
Heres and Ylma's Dormitory – Thursday Night
While Ylma was out with Gavin for their first date, the LeGume twins appeared at the girls' dormitory. The three of them are now standing in front of the study table but instead of books, the table is no filled with portions of different colour, and in front of the LeGume twins was a small cauldron with weird looking smoke floating out of it while Heres dug her nose into an enormous spell book.
"Alright, pour that." Heres pointed towards a beaker on her right with pink fluid in it. Pour a drop… no pour two drops into the cauldron."
Gastion Jr followed her instructions without any word.
"Next," Here flipped the page. Heres moved her eyes from the book to the table and scan it before pointing towards another beaker on her left with purple fluid. "Pour all of that in."
Gaston the Third followed her instructions while Gaston Jr walked towards and looked over the shoulder.
"Didn't the book say half of it?"
"Well, did you see any progress for the past few weeks? We need to double the dose. This portion is not strong enough, we do not have enough time to wait anymore." Heres explained without removing her eyes away from the book.
The LeGume twins shared a look, and both have decided not to ask anything.
Gaston the Third started to wonder if accepting the offer to come to Auradon Prep was a smart move. Look at Heres falling all over Ben like how his brother falls for Mal reminds himself so much of how his father drools all over Belle. He knows that he can be a jerk sometimes, but after the pep talk from Jay and Carlos, he knew that he doesn't want to be his father or anyway close to that. He started to question himself if this taking over the world is worth to lose himself in the process? Looks like there is some thinking he needs to do.
Auradon Prep – Friday Morning
Mal was walking towards the locker alone after the first class of the day when she saw a huge figure walking towards her. She has decided to ignore that figure as she opened her locker to grab her books.
She closed her locker and was immediately greeted with a "Hey, Mal."
Mal stared at Gaston Jr without a word with her eyes screaming 'back off' at him.
Gaston lifted a big silver plate with a piece of cake left on it.
Mal did not move her head but lowered her eyes to stare at the silver plate before looking at the guy in front with her with a quirked eyebrow.
"I'm just offering this to you as a peace offering. Can we start fresh? Jay and Carlos talked to us about being how lucky we are to be out of our parents' controlling and being able to start fresh. They are right, so here I am, trying to make amends." Gaston put on his most sincere smile.
Mal continued to stare at him without any word.
"Don't worry, this is not tempered with. You can look around, I have given some to our friends. Fairy mother has done a magic check test on this when she saw me walking in with this." Gaston added.
Mal turned around and saw Jane, Audrey and some of their other friends were eating a piece of cake that looked exactly like the one Gaston was holding towards her face.
After waiting for a minute, Gaston lowered the silver plate. "It's ok if you don't want this. I understand, but I just hope that this can be the start of our friendship?"
Mal eyed at him for another moment to look for any clue indicating that he was trying to do some funny business but failed.
"Alright, I will accept this as a peace offering, but I will not forgive you if I found out that you are trying to do something stupid to Ben or my friends." Mal expressed with determination in her eyes.
Gaston smiled and nodded his head as he offered the cake to him.
"See you in class, Mal." Gaston waved his hand at her before disappearing around the corner.
Mal was looking at the plate when Ben appeared at her locker.
"Hey, beautiful. Who gave this to you? I saw many kids in the hallway holding a chocolate cake too."
"It's from Gaston Jr was a peace offering?" Ben quirked an eyebrow at her. "I know. Should I eat this?"
"I think it should be fine. Let me try it first, just in case." Ben took the fork on the plate and tried a small piece of it.
"Hmm… Not bad. Try some."
Mal eyed her fiancé whom in return gave her his usual cheesy smile which helped drew a smile on her lips before bending down to sample the cake.
Heres who was standing far away from them put down the binoculars and smiled to herself, "Looks like everything is according to plan."
With that, she turned around and left the roof.
Little did she know, a shadow disappeared a far corner of the roof, again.
"Come on, Carlos. My mum is waiting for us, and we will be late if we don't move faster." Jane's voice emerged from the local pet shelter followed by the main door of the shelter being busted open.
"Jane! Wait for me!" Carlos shouted towards the hall as he stuffed all his stuff into his bag before carrying Dude off the bench table.
He was helping out at the local pet's shelter with Jane. They were drying the dogs as today was the monthly bath day for pets at the shelter when Jane caught a glimpse of the clock. They were supposed to be at the Headmistress' office at five, and it was already four thirty, so they quickly chased all the dogs into the drying room and apologised to Anita, before running out of the shelter.
After running for almost ten minutes, they finally arrived back at Auradon Prep. Just as they were running towards the main building of Auradon Prep, Carlos saw something at the corner of his eye while Dude barked for a few times. Carlos then stops running and turned towards the corner that the figure disappeared to.
Jane was a few feet before him when Dude's barking alarmed her. She turned and noticed that her boyfriend was standing in the middle of the hallway. "Carlos, come…" Jane saw the look on her boyfriend and quickly walked towards them. "What's wrong?"
"I think I saw something going around that corner." Carlos pointed towards the corner of the Auradon Prep's indoor stadium before patting Dude's back to calm him down as Dude started to bark at the indoor stadium.
"But there is nothing behind the stadium. Well, if you count the school's dumpster." Jane eyed the indoor stadium and voiced her doubts.
Carlos turned towards her and gave her a knowing look. Without any further questions, Jane nodded her head and together, they walked slowly towards the corner.
They poked their head around the corner to find Gaston Jr standing in front of the dumpster as he stuffed his hand into his bag to look for something. After a few seconds, he pulled out a bag and throw it into the dumpster before running off in the direction of the outdoor school field where he will have his tourney practice. Carlos was excused from practice because he was supposed to help Fairy Godmother with some IT stuff.
When they could no longer see Gaston Jr, they walked out of the corner and towards the dumpster. Carlos handed Dude to Jane whom in return immediately extended her hand without any word. Carlos pulled some boxes together before stepping on them to reach his hand into the dumpster to grab what Gaston Jr threw.
It was a bag of squashed chocolate chips.
"That's odd. Why do Gaston Jr need to walk all the way to the school's dumpster to throw away some squashed chips?" Jane voiced out her doubts while she patted on Dude's back.
"Do you think this have something to do with the cakes that everyone was eating this morning?" Carlos asked.
"But my mum did a check on the cakes Gaston Jr brought in, they were magic-free." Jane reminded him.
"Maybe we could bring this to Fairy Godmother? She'll know what to do with this." Carlos suggested.
"Good idea. Well, at least now we have an excuse for being late." Jane agreed as she put on a smirk
Dude barked a few times at Jane as though he agreed with what Jane suggested.
"Come on, let's go." Carlos chuckled lightly as they walked towards the main building.
This is quite an intensive chapter if you ask me as problems will start to rise almost every part of this chapter.
Please read and tell me what you think :)
