Mal came out of the castle the next morning rubbing her stomach.

"How many times do I have to say I don't like mush before someone understands?" she wondered.

Jay was standing there but didn't answer her. He didn't think he was supposed to.

"What's with that?" Jay pointed to the roof.

"Oh, I'm having the Goblin fix the roof." Mal said, "It rained on my favorite comforter last night."

Jay nodded wondering how much money Mal had that she could do that.

A teenager walked up to them.

"Mal and Jay?" he asked.

"Yes?" they asked.

"Harriet Hook requests that you come visit her at Pirate's Cove today." the teen said. "Look for a small girl of about eight dressed in red."

With that he walked off not noticing that he'd lost his hook that had been hanging from his side.

"Guess we're going to Pirate's Cove again." Mal said. "Good we can get Uma to give us more clams."

"Yeah!" Jay cheered. "One of these days I'm gonna get a perfectly cooked one."

"Yep." Mal nodded. "Maybe we should try ourselves."

Jay shrugged.

Evie was miserable as they entered Pirate's Cove. She had been with an adult but she guessed randomly grabbing on to an adult when she saw Mal coming hadn't been good enough for the small girl because here she was again. Wait hadn't that Carlos boy bought his way out? She wondered how she could do that. She sat down to think she ended up pushing whoever was on her head over to the boy next to her. The cage was at full capacity.

"Mal!" Captain Hook ran over. "Do you have Harry? He's late for his sword lesson."

Mal didn't actually know if she had him or not so yelled into the cage. A hand surfaced from the back. She and Jay managed to get Harry out of the cage without freeing anyone else. They got paid.

"Wait!" Mal demanded. "We are looking for Harriet Hook you will tell us where she is. NOW!"

They were taken to Harriet Hook who was smartly working on a dingy next to her father's boat and therefore in adult company.

"You requested a meeting?" Mal stated when she faced the girl.

"Yes, I did." Harriet agreed. "Uma has challenged me to a Pirate's Battle and I want you two to fight on my side."

"What's in it for us." Jay asked. "Other than getting to beat Uma?"

The answer was two shiny kid sized swords.

"I will give you these when you come back on Saturday." Harriet replied.

"When's Saturday?" Mal asked. "I don't know my days yet."

"That's in two days." Harriet informed. " That means today is Thursday."

"We'll keep this in mind." Mal stated.

She then lead the way away from where they were.

"We're gonna play aren't we?" Jay wondered.

"Course but it's best to leave her wonderin'. That way when we show up she'll be so happy that she'll ask us to come back when we win."

"You're really smart." Jay laughed.

"Yep." Mal nodded.

Mal stared at Evie frowning. The girl was trying to buy her way out with a scarf?

"I stole eight of those already." Mal informed.

"But feel this one!" Evie insisted as her mother and Maleficent stood by watching. "It's real silk!"

Mal frowned she didn't know what silk was but she felt the scarf. It was soft and she liked that.

"Nope." Mal said, "I'm not convinced." She was in a bad mood because Uma had managed to not be caught today which meant she hadn't gotten any clams. "You gotta do better than that, blueberry."

Evil Queen bought her daughter's freedom and made a note to teach her more about bargaining. Though she had to admit she'd done well for her age.

"What do we do with this one?" A Goblin grunted.

There was an eight year old boy in the cage pouting.

"Leave him and keep track of how long we've had him he's making me a mint." Mal stated.

She did put the cage in the Entrance Way though so the boy didn't get rained on. She then went up to greet her mother and complain about not getting clams and tell her about Harriet and learning her days of the week.

Your roof has finished.

Bargain Castle Roof - 1

Mal nodded and looked at the list of materials she would need for the next upgrade it looked like stuff she could easily get her hands on. She ate her breakfast and was shocked when Jafar brought Jay in.

"You requested my son, Maleficent." Jafar drawled "Where did you get those crows?"

"We got them." Jay said, "From Mother Gothel. Can we make our apples now? I brought five today."

"An I got five too." Mal said. "That's ten in all. We're gonna make how much, Jay?"

Jay thought hard.

"20 gold." he finally said.

"That's right." Mal nodded. "and yes, we're going to make the apples now."

"Make apples?" Jafar was curious. He was even more so about why his son was here and why Jay had been so eager to come. He was shocked when the two of them made a Potion that he knew well. "You two can do magic?"

"I can't." Jay said, blinking. "Mal, can you use magic?"

"Er..." Mal said blinking. "I dunno."

"Yes, you can." Maleficent informed. "If you couldn't these apples wouldn't work and I was informed that every person you've sold these apples to have has talked in rythems for half an hour after. Meaning they work and you have magic."

"Oh." Mal said, her eyes wide. "But I thought we couldn't use magic inside the barrier."

"We shouldn't be able to." Jafar said in awe. He couldn't believe it. "Amazing. "

"Isn't it though." Maleficent cackled. "I brought your son here because Mal has declared him her very first minion. So they will together."
