"Who put that in there?" Beast demanded thought gently.

No one had an answer so all eyes went to Ben.

"I don't know how and even if I did it would be something like turning hair pink or something." Ben defended.

"So that boy just happened to have a potions page?" Fairy Godmother asked.

"Mother, make it so Mal can make a book out of the pages she finds." Ben pleaded, "and give her a library in her Inventory. Libraries are the best places after all."

Belle hugged her son and kissed his head how she loved him to know end.

"That is a wonderful idea, son." Beast praised, "and I will teach you how to do this as you are her age and understand what children your age like but you mustn't misuse the power."

Ben nodded.

You can find pages of books and reform the book when you have all of the pages!

"What's a library?" Mal asked Jay.

"I dunno." Jay shrugged. "What's that?"

"I can't read." Mal said, after turning the page this way and that. "I bet mother can read! Lets ask her. I want to know what a library is."

Belle was holding a traumatized Ben and rubbing his back as he clutched his favorite book. She gave her husband a pointed look.

He cleared his throat nervously.

Maleficent was shocked by the question.

"A library is a room full of books that people go to. They can check the books out of the library but have to have them back by a certain time." she tried to explain it so the five year olds would understand.

"Do we have one of those?" the boy in the cage asked.

Jay hit him but looked up at Maleficent for an answer.

"No, we don't." she answered. "and what lead to this question?"

Mal held up the page.

"I can't read it." she explained.

"Oh, this was a favorite of mine and Evil Queen's back in the day. I believe Jafar used it as well." Maleficent was actually smiling. "This Mal is a Truth Potion Recipe a very simple one even children like yourself could brew it."

"I WANNA BREW IT RIGHT NOW!" Mal bellowed at the top of her lungs.

Maleficent was very pleased and took the two children to the kitchen. She was soon teaching them to brew. She quickly let them work together when Jay tried to mash everything together with his cauldron.

"Okay." Mal said, nodding at the blue liquid she and Jay had created. "We need apples!"

Jay got four out of his back pack.

"They were going to be lunch but I think this more important." he shrugged.

"Oh, mommy is so proud of you!" Maleficent praised as they let the apples soak up all the potion. "Now what are you going to do with them?"

"Sell them of course." Mal and Jay told her while rolling their eyes.

Maleficent was very pleased with how both of them were turning out and sent them on their way sending a Goblin to spy on anyone who bought the apples. That had been a good first attempt at a potion and she wanted to know if it worked or not. If so she would have her answer to why she thought Mal was special.

"Carlos is back?" Mal said, upon exiting and seeing the cage.

"Not of my free will." Carlos sighed, pouting.

"Who said anything about free will?" Mal demanded. "You obey me! The whole Isle does!"

Jay nodded from her side arms behind his head.

Carlos nodded back weakly. The other boy was dozing.

"REZA!"

The boy woke with a start and was set free. The man did not look happy as he jerked Reza along.

"Here you go, Jay, two gold for you."

"I'm getting paid for this?" Jay asked shocked. "i thought we were just havin' fun. Cool!"

"APPLES!" Mal and Jay yelled when they reached the Bazaar. "Special Apples!"

"Those two learn fast." Hook said to one of the 40 thieves. "They know what makes this Isle run."

Several people within hearing distance laughed.

"Special Apples!"

"What's so special about them?" Anthony Tremain asked holding the skirt of a woman who wasn't his mother. "This is my aunt." he said quickly.

"They're a special prank apple." Mal informed loud enough for everyone to hear. "On sale now."

"A special deal!" Jay picked up. "2 gold per apple! Get em now, folks we only got four!"

"You can count?" Anthony asked. "How high?"

"I can do maths." Mal scoffed. "see if the apples cost 2 gold and we have 4 apples then we'll get 8 gold for all of them. After giving Jay 2 gold I will have 6 gold left over."

The adults were impressed.

Jay's face had scrunched up in thought. His dad was teaching him math too but he couldn't do it that fast.

"Wow." Anthony said, he reached in his pocket and pulled out two gold. "Okay, I'll take one."

Jay gave him one as Mal took the money.

The next one to buy an apple was a girl named Styx who was thrown in jail after making the purchase.

"You there!" A woman yelled across the bazaar near sunset. "MAL! JAY!"

The kids turned as the woman rushed towards them.

"We've got one apple left." Jay told her. "Two gold."

"So reasonable." The woman said, paying Mal and taking the apple. "Did you jail a young girl named Morgan today?"

"No." They said, shaking their heads in unison.

"Where did that girl go?" the woman growled and wandered off.

"Hey, lady!" Mal yelled. "You look like Ursula."

"I'm her older sister." The woman deadpanned. "Morgana."

"That would make this Morgan Uma's cousin right?" Jay hissed at Mal.

"I think that's how it works." Mal nodded. "You should check pirates cove, Morgana. Uma bought a boat."

"of course." Morgana declared.

"That'll be six clams." Jay told her. "You can deliver them tomorrow."

Auradon

"What is it with these two and clams?" Ariel wondered.

"Mal said she wanted to taste a perfectly cooked clam." Ben said, eating said clam. "Guess they're gonna keep trying until they get one. These are good."

Ariel smiled indulgently at the young Prince.
