Evie suddenly screamed and shot awake in her bed before panting heavily, then her eyes darted around. She soon found herself in a dark blue room that had plenty of stuffed animals, stylish clothes, and make-up and it took her a moment to realize she was back in her bedroom.

"Evie? Evie! Settle down," Regina called as she rushed into the room suddenly and had a tray that had a glass of water and a couple of tablets on it. "Evie, it's Mommy."

"Mommy?" Evie murmured before she looked over and then sighed in relief. "Oh, Mom, thank goodness. I'm sorry!"

"It's okay, dear, it's okay," Regina soothed as she sat down on Evie's bed and hugged her teenage daughter instantly. "Oh, honey..."

"I'm sorry I tried to ruin Audrey's life before Ben wanted to take back Mal! That wasn't my fault, but I'm so sorry and I almost got arrested too!" Evie cried in the hug.

"...Evie, what are you talking about?" Regina asked, concerned and confused now.

"I'm sorry, Mommy, but Audrey said-" Evie began to explain.

"Audrey? Oh, for goodness' sake," Regina sighed and tried to settle down her daughter. "Evie, I... Oh, well. Come along. Have some water and aspirin."

"...my head is killing me..." Evie admitted.

"Settle down and have some medicine." Regina advised her daughter.

Evie soon nodded, listening to her mother and then took the medicine and quieted down for a moment.

"Now... why don't you tell me what exactly you're talking about, my dear?" Regina suggested wearily. "We both had a big night last night."

"I don't really remember much of the slumber party with Mal and Uma, but what happened in school was..." Evie started to say and soon told her mother everything from start to finish.

Regina listened as much as she possibly could, nodding at her daughter's words and looked amused and confused for the most part. Evie began to realize how crazy and weird it sounded and it did sound likely that this was all just a dream and she should go to Mal and Uma to find out more about what really happened.

"But there's still one thing I'm curious about," Evie then said as she calmed down a little. "I wonder if Mr. Deley ended up with Nurse Spratt?"

"Oh, Evie, you just had a crazy dream brought on by apple wine..." Regina remarked before looking firm for a moment. "No more of that until you're a little bit older, you got that?"

"Yes, Mom." Evie nodded.

"Now come down to breakfast," Regina suggested as she took her daughter by the hand gently. "I learned from a very relilable source that greasy bacon is just the thing you need on a morning like this."

"I'm not sure if I can even eat, Mom..." Evie said wearily.

"Trust me, my little princess," Regina reassured her daughter. "A nice breakfast pile of bacon is just what you need and don't you dare say it'll just make you look fat. I'm not taking no for an answer."

"You never really seem to, Mom." Evie smirked slightly.

"Very funny." Regina smirked back.

"Mr. Deley and Mrs. Sprat... what a silly idea..." Evie murmured to herself and took out her phone to check for anything important in her messages.

"So Mal's back in town, maybe you two should talk." Regina suggested as she cooked breakfast.

"Mal?" Evie blinked and repeated. "Oh, uh, yeah, I guess..."

"You used to be friends, didn't you?" Regina then asked.

"It's kind of complicated, Mom..." Evie said, not sure how else to describe it.

"Well, maybe you should hang around since I'm going to be with Maleficent and the other villainesses with their special plan for Storybrooke," Regina advised. "But that's just my suggestion anyway. You don't always need to listen to your mother's advice, I mean I sometimes didn't and look where that got me."

"I'm not sure I want to have us ending up in two different worlds, Mom." Evie remarked.

"Me neither, my dear..." Regina had to agree as she came by and kissed her daughter's cheek. "Just think about it maybe."

Evie merely gave a nod. "I'll see what I can do." she then said.

"That's all I ask." Regina said with a small smile.

Evie smiled back a bit and soon continued to scroll through her phone and waited for her breakfast to be made so she could eat it and recover.

Just outside the school grounds was Mr. Deley waiting for his true love.

"Jonathan." A certain voice called.

"Elizabeth! You're back," Mr. Deley beamed before he looked concerned. "You look tired."

"I could use a cold compress and some brownies," Mrs. Spratt said, thinking of her stomach like always, unlike her husband who would rather snack on a carrot or anything else lean as he couldn't eat fat and she couldn't eat lean. "Now what was it you wanted to say?"

"Oh, Elizabeth, hear me out, I know that you and your husband are having your differences," Mr. Deley began to say. "I would be honored if you would be my wife?" he then added while attempting to bring out a certain box.

"Oh, Jonathan, if only you'd asked me an hour ago," Mrs. Spratt frowned. "How can I put this? I've met someone."

"Who?!" Mr. Deley demanded.

"It's better that you don't know. I'm going away, Jonathan," Mrs. Spratt explained as she started to leave. "I only hope that you can forgive me."

"But wait! You can't!" Mr. Dleey cried out only to turn away, looking heartbroken. "Ah, well, I got a lot further than I thought I would." he then shrugged it off and then smiled before slipping his hands in his pockets and walked off.

Meanwhile in the school hallway, Mrs. Spratt came through the fire doors and walked up to Bashful who was leaning against the wall with a packed bag beside him with his face and arms covered in sting ointment. "How did he take it?" he then asked the woman.

"He'll be fine," Mrs. Spratt explained. "Jonathan's strong and has both eyes. You need me more."

"It was worth being stung hundreds of times, it's what brought us together." Bashful swooned.

Mrs. Spratt beamed as she picked up a bag and they soon walked off together, arm in arm.

"By the way, this is only temporary..." Bashful then said as he gestured to his eye patch.

"Don't ruin it~" Nurse Spratt told him and they continued to walk off together.

In the meantime, Dee Dee and Henry continued to look for clues in the storybook and were now focusing on a page that had an illustration of a door. Henry brought out a magnifying glass to help a bit since the door was very interesting, but it was hard to pinpoint exactly why or how.

"Hey." Belle greeted softly as she came into the room with a couple of plates of donuts for the two youngsters.

"Sweets break," Dee Dee beamed as she accepted the plate for her. "Thanks Belle, how'd you know I liked the chocolate peppermint donut that Granny made for Chrstmas?"

"Lucky guess," Belle said with a small, amused smile before looking at the page with her grandson. "So, um, is... Is that the page that August took out of the storybook? Did you find anything?" she then asked him.

"I think this door somehow has something to do with The Author," Henry explained. "We just have to figure out where it is."

"You will. Here." Belle encouraged him as she gave him a glazed donut before leaving the room.

Henry smiled, accepting the treat before looking a bit harder at the door and the magnifying glass. "Come on, August. What are you trying to tell us?" he then murmured until he flinched and heard a bit of a loud licking sound.

Dee Dee was seen licking off the glaze and peppermints off of her donut before she would eat it.

"Dee Dee, can you eat a donut without licking the glaze off?" Henry asked her wearily.

"What?" Dee Dee muffled.

Henry merely sighed and soon took out his own donut to join her in licking the glaze off before he found himself enjoying it.

Emma soon drove over to Granny's Diner as Killian, Harry, and Carla were in there, trying to help the blonde woman look for clues. "Find anything in there?" she then asked them.

"Well, a burned table, broken bottles, uh, and a very irate Granny." Killian explained.

"Mrs. Lucas said she hasn't seen anything so chaotic and destructive since Ruby came home after drinking too much diet rum." Harry added.

"Trust me, kid, it ain't soda that Ruby drinks on Friday nights!" Granny called out from inside.

"Apparently, Mrs. Evie's mother and the witches drank the place dry." Carla then told Emma.

"I'd say she won them over." Killian smirked.

"Unless that's exactly what they wanted her to think." Emma piped up.

"Look, I know you're worried, but we don't even know what happened yet." Killian reminded her to try to calm her down.

"That's what's worrying me. She's not at home," Emma explained urgently. "She's not in her office. My parents are gonna check her vault, but-"

"And you fear the worst." Killian guessed softly.

"I can't help but think, if the undercover thing worked, if she's got the situation under control, then why the hell isn't she back yet?" Emma explained. "And what might happen to Evie? What if Evie goes to the dark side?"

"Oh, I don't think that could happen to her," Harry remarked. "I haven't known Evie long and she may be The Evil Queen's daughter, but that girl has no evil bone in her body."

Emma gave a small smile, glad that Harry was trying to help even though she was a bit unsure.

David and Mary Margaret were now driving into the woods and looking for Regina.

"Maybe this was a bad idea," Mary Margaret frowned. "If something happened to Regina-"

"No, like you said, she'll be fine," David interrupted and reminded his wife. "She can take care of herself."

Mary Margaret nodded until she saw something that caught her attention. "Look!" she gasped.

Soon, the car stopped and the couple came out of it. They found that one of the other sheriff cars had been torched and singed beyond repair almost as though someone had set it on fire overnight.

"That's one of my sheriff's cars," David noted curiously. "What the hell happened?"

"Maleficent happened," Regina explained wearily as she showed up right behind them. "And that is her idea of a good time."

" Regina... Are you okay?" Mary Margaret asked softly. "What happened last night?

"I had to prove myself. Which meant some drinking, some burning, and lots of destruction. I'm not sure what happened to our daughters, but it sounds like they had their own crazy night of debauchery," Regina explained. "Sorry about the car. And you really shouldn't be here. Next time, we have to meet covertly."

"Next time?" David demanded. "You didn't find out what they're planning?"

"It was one night," Regina reminded him. "But I did find out they're hiding something, something incredibly powerful." she then added.

"Well, what is it?" Mary Margaret asked, hoping to learn more.

"I don't know." Regina confessed.

"So, the only thing you accomplished was property destruction?" Mary Margaret asked wearily.

"I accomplished trust," Regina remarked. "Last time, I had to come to Maleficent. This time, she'll come to me."

"And what about Evie along with Mal and Uma?" David then asked.

"Evie's a big girl now, she can take care of herself," Regina replied. "Besides, I asked someone to keep an eye on her while I handle this and Evie can handle Mal and Uma since they're all the same age. Teenage girls don't betray each other, right?" she then added hopefully.

David and Mary Margaret looked a bit soft at that.

Meanwhile, Rumple was alone in the cabin, tending to the fire until he was met with the company of the villainesses who had come to Storybrooke. "Well, where the hell have you been all night?" he then demanded.

"Don't be nasty. Regina came to find us," Maleficent explained and defended. "We had some catching up to do."

"And apparently there was a slumber party." Cassandra added as she had a bag of something.

"Regina? What was she after?" Rumple wondered.

"She was sniffing around for information." Ursula explained.

"I assume you didn't tell her I'm what you're hiding." Rumple replied.

"Oh, we were careful, darling," Cruella smirked. "She doesn't know a thing."

"Very interesting plan, bringing us all together," Cassandra added as she brought over the bag to him. "This should be everything for that seeking potion you promised me?"

"In due time, dearie, you'll find exactly who you're looking for when we're done," Rumple nodded as he accepted the bag. "And as for my plan, it's just beginning, but it does present an intriguing possibility."

"Do you really think she'll help us?" Maleficent asked.

"My heartbreak turned her into a monster once and now her heart's been broken a new," Rumple reassured them. "She's lost another love and is in great pain"

"As you and I both know, pain always makes you stronger." Maleficent remarked.

"Not to mention the pain of losing a loved one you did everything you could to protect." Cassandra added somberly.

"Indeed, it does," Rumple nodded. "When war hits Storybrooke, everyone's gonna have to pick a side, including Regina."

"And what war is that?" Cassandra then asked.

"Oh, the one we're about to start," Rumple replied as he tended to the fireplace. "And tonight... We're gonna throw the first punch."

In the meantime, Evie was walking through town, trying to find a certain someone until she had some unexpected company.

"Hi, Evie." Doug smiled innocently. "Lovely day, aren't you? I mean! Uh, lovely day, isn't it? Yeah, it's a day! The day is lovely! Not you... I mean you are lovely, not to say you're ugly or not fair, erm, I-"

"Are you stalking me?" Evie interrupted almost suspiciously.

"Technically... yes. I was sent by your mother just to make sure you're doing okay today since she's very busy right now and it looks like we're almost at Granny's Diner," Doug then said. "Perhaps we could sit next to each other and discuss these villainess' attributes."

Evie knew Doug would just be kind of annoying about it and she never did mind his company, especially when it came to help with fashion for school events such as Parents' Night or big dances so she let him come along with her, but to stay discreet. She then greeted Doug and walked with him a bit until she noticed Mal. She then assured him that she enjoyed his company but explained she needed to talk to Mal alone, as it was teenage girl stuff, and so requested that he stay behind.

"Hello? Mal? I've... Been thinking about our sleepover, I don't remember much of it after we left the diner..." Evie called as she found the former purple-haired girl alone in the dark. "I thought... maybe... perhaps we could have a talk?"

"You'd like that, wouldn't you?" Mal murmured as she came out to see the bluenette girl. "You think just being abandoned by me after all this time and we're suddenly going to be besties again? That's totally how teenage girls work, isn't it, Evie?"

"Come on, Mal, don't be like that..." Evie sighed softly. "Let's talk."

"...alright." Mal shrugged and murmured.

"Where's Uma by the way?" Evie wondered since Mal was on her own.

"With her mom and the others," Mal explained. "I sorta promised I wouldn't tell anyone until the time was right."

"...okay." Evie then said with a nod, deciding not to pry too much or she might lose Mal all over again.

Mal shrugged and soon strolled around town with Evie and the two got to talking and sharing some old stories together.

"Do you remember coming down this way while our mothers fought over the best way to poison a princess?" Evie smiled at her former friend as they strolled together.

"Yeah! Apple or spindle? That one was epic!" Mal chuckled. "That went on for actual days."

"Like it mattered, right?" Evie replied. "They were both undone by True Love's Kiss."

"Works every time!" The two girls said together in unison before breaking out in laughter together.

They soon came to a stop and sat on a bench, though it was hard to ignore Mr. Gold's pawnshop across the street as their laughter quickly died down.

"I really thought that's what you and Ben had," Evie soon said softly as she looked at Mal. "Do you wanna talk about it?"

"Nah. I'm not staying here, Evie," Mal said as her smile quickly disappeared. "I can't. I really tried to tell you. I just... I just don't know... I see you like it in Storybrooke and you wanna be a good person and tell your own story, but that's impossible for someone like me."

"...well, if you're going away after this, I'm going away too." Evie then said, trying to be strong.

"No," Mal shook her head. "Evie, you are a Storybrooke girl with an Evil Queen mother slowly reforming into a Good Queen... and I am... and always will be, the daughter of The Mistress of Evil and granddaughter of The Dark Fairy who cursed a sleeping beauty in the woods for not being invited to her wedding. The other fairies left out my mother when Queen Briar Rose's daughter was having her christening..." she then stared down at the floor with a broken heart. "Just like you didn't invite me to your Sweet 6th Birthday Party."

"Mal, you know my mother told me not to invite you." Evie reminded Mal since that wasn't her own fault, but it seemed to be the dreaded fate of being born into a fairy tale legacy.

"I know..." Mal replied bitterly. "We're just from two different worlds, you may be The Evil Queen's daughter and The Queen of Hearts' granddaughter, but that doesn't change one fact: you're a princess."

"But we have to meet again and stay together, Mal, I really need you," Evie said softly. "Ben might have been my childhood best friend, but you're my best teenage friend and if we have to be separated again... we'll meet again. Even if it ends up being the space between."

Mal looked thoughtful about that sentiment and turned away as she seemed to put her hand to one eye. "Sorry, a bug just flew in my eye." she then seemed to cover up.

"Of course..." Evie nodded.

"Well, well, look what we have here?~" Chad's voice was soon heard.

Mal and Evie looked a bit deadpan in response when Chad strolled right over to them.

"Well, hello there," Chad grinned at Mal. "You must be the daughter of Goldilocks."

"Isn't Goldilocks an adoptive mother of a toddler Lost Boy or something?" Evie remarked and groaned. "Those Lost Boys were so annoying."

"Not as annoying as the Shitweasel in charge of them." Mal scoffed at that.

Evie then blinked and looked curious how Mal would have known that.

"I'm... Artemis." The blonde girl covered up.

"Artemis?" Chad repeated. "Isn't that a boy's name? So you're a boy who likes to dress like a girl? What's wrong with you?" he then scoffed.

"I think you better leave, Chad." Evie suggested. "Plus you're wrong, Artemis was the name of the goddess of the hunt, wild animals and the moon, plus she was the patroness of girls." she told him.

"Or what?" Chad smirked ignoring the explanation as that was too much for his brain. "You gonna bake me a pie and make me fall asleep so someone beautiful and worthy like Audrey will save me if she's not too busy having a birthday party to lead up to a very exclusive and amazing slumber party? She's really pretty and popular, unlike you and you're The Mayor's daughter!"

Evie's eyes twitched as she seemed to have flames erupting in her previously chocolate brown iris.

"Stop it." Mal told Chad, nearly growling.

"I guess I'm just not right for you, eh, Goldilocks the Second?" Chad taunted. "What's with your mom and apples, Evie? Seriously... That bitch and her apples."

Evie then decided she had enough since Chad called her mother a very undesirable name, even worse than what she overheard some people say back during The Dark Curse. Suddenly, her hands had fireballs in them and she threw them right at the boy, burning him right on his butt and hair, causing him to scream and freak out that "fire was on him". Evie looked surprised herself after that, though she had a weird sensation that it felt rather awesome.

"Dang Evie, that fire was way better than what I could've done if I ended up getting angry enough to Dragon Up around that MopHead." Mal remarked.

"I... I didn't know I could do that..." Evie murmured.

"Well... I guess we better get going or something..." Mal then said, feeling bored on the bench right now.

"That's it! We're going to reignite the dragon in you by crashing Audrey's party!" Evie decided, sounding darkly determined all of a sudden.

"EVIE!" Mal gasped as that seemed to surprise and startle her because this was Evie saying such a thing.

"No Mal, this is how you're gonna get your groove back here in Storybrooke as long as our mothers are here and are villains," Evie replied, determined. "We're gonna crash that party, she must've lost your invitation."

"I guess I could give them a friendly reminder..." Mal replied thoughtfully.

"Yes, we're going to give Audrey and the others some persuasion~" Evie smirked darkly. "Briar Rose wronged your grandmother over a wedding invitation, Maleficent was excluded from the Good Faries for Aurora's christening, and allow me to make it up to you for missing my Sweet 6th Birthday Party by giving Audrey a Sour 16th Birthday Slumber Party."

"I think I'm gonna like this new Evie." Mal said thoughtfully.

"I think I'm gonna be terrified of this new Evie." Doug murmured to himself as he tried to get a hold of Evie's mother because this seemed like an emergency.

Evie and Mal walked down downtown Storybrooke's street until they ran into a certain someone, though Mal threw herself in the bushes to hide away. Evie blinked in confusion until she looked over and saw the person she seemed to be trying to avoid.

"Evie?" Ben asked. "What are you doing out here in the middle of nowhere?

"Walking home." Evie explained innocently.

"Alone?" Ben asked. "That's a bit of a long walk to go home."

"Mom's busy." Evie then said.

"Yeah, I'm sure she is," Ben nodded before he smiled thoughtfully. "Say, why don't you come with me? I'm heading this way for the party."

"Party? What party?" Evie asked innocently.

"I assume you've heard of the news?" Ben said to her, showing his phone to see an E-invite. "Audrey's 16th birthday and slumber party where just about everyone has been invited."

Mal narrowed her eyes and they glowed green as Evie looked like she had no idea what Ben was talking about.

"...I'll meet you there, just gotta make a stop at home first." Evie forced herself to say without sounding like a liar.

"Well, it'll be good to have you there," Ben smiled at his childhood best friend. "It's not a party without Evie Mills... oh, and Evie?"

"Yeah, Ben?" Evie replied.

"I know you're trying to look out for your mother and this Queens of Darkness business, but try not to get caught up in the charade, okay?" Ben advised softly. "I already lost a special girl, a father, and nearly a brother. I don't wanna lose my bestest best friend either."

"Don't worry, Ben," Evie reassured him softly. "You're stuck with me."

Ben gave a small smile at that. "See you at the party then?" he then asked.

"Oh, you'll see me alright~" Evie replied mysteriously.

Ben blinked at that and soon continued to head over to the party since he was a guest of honor.

"The next Sleeping Beauty is having a mega exclusive party where everyone can go except for you!" Evie soon said to Mal, trying to help her get her groove back. "A whole new generation is getting their happy endings while you sit up here and rot!"

"And why in the hell do you care so much?" Mal asked the bluenette girl.

"Because if... Someone as powerful as you can't get their revenge... That means I never will." Evie tried to explain.

"What revenge?" Mal scoffed. "When are you ever a villain?"

"Okay, maybe I'm overreacting, but I'm still an Evil Regal in the making and I feel like now is a good time to start acting like it and my mother always told me that I need to eat, breathe, and sweat self-esteem," Evie then said. "You shouldn't give up. You can still be a dragon and you still can fight."

Mal sighed and turned away. "I can't." she then sulked.

"Doesn't this make your blood boil?" Evie insisted to Mal.

"Did you hear me, Blueberry Princess? I can't! I can't..." Mal shook her head angrily before looking a bit down. "Turn into a dragon anymore. I lost the fire a long time ago."

"Then let's get that fire back." Evie said, still determined.

Mal could only look curious as she wondered what Evie could possibly be going on about.

Evie took Mal over to a special place that only she would know about and she knew that Mal would know about it too. It was the family crypt and they came over to a certain spot that still had flames dancing from it even though it had been years, though it wasn't too different from the tree Maleficent had sent on fire back in The Enchanted Forest.

"So, there's a brazier I burned that's still on fire. Who cares?" Mal recognized and then scoffed. "What does it matter?"

"That's your spark. That's what's going to reignite the dragon inside you," Evie insisted and gestured. "Now, let's get dangerous."

Before the ever-lit brazier, Mal tried to suck in the fire, taking a bit of a deep breath. The fires moved from the charcoals burning and soon straight into the young Dark Fairy as she absorbed the element of fire before it seemed to be over. She then yelped and seemed to stumble a bit after that happened, causing Evie to rush to her side in high hopes.

"Did it work?" Evie asked Mal eagerly.

"I'm not sure." Mal admitted breathlessly.

"Maybe we should go out and find out." Evie suggested.

Mal looked thoughtful about that as they left and soon ran into Chad with a couple of ginger-haired boys and one of them seemed to have an eyepatch. "Oh. Hello, Prince Chad Charming." she then greeted.

"Evening, Blonde Mal... I have a message for you." Chad retorted.

"Yeah, what's that?" Mal wondered.

"I promise you, if you intend to take away Audrey's happiness, you will fail," Chad said to her. "It's just ancient history that goes back to even our grandparents who knew the author who made this world we all live in, so you'll fail with Audrey since Maleficent failed with Aurora and Carabosse failed with Briar Rose."

"You made sure of that, didn't you?" Mal retorted cynically. "And these are new friends, I suppose?"

"Ah, yes, this is Sam and Seth Stabbington, cousins from that Isle of the Lost that Peter Pan used to be in charge of," Chad explained and gestured to the boys beside him. "Apparently, they were involved with Rapunzel's story, but for now, they're going to be my minions since Jay and Gil didn't seem interested in being my muscles and no one's seen Harold and Jace Badun in a very long time."

"...yeah, whatever happened to those guys?" Mal asked Evie.

"Ben said he heard Will Scarlet said he saw them in Wonderland," Evie shrugged. "Apparently he has Wonderland ties like my grandmother."

"Anyway, it's time to make you pay and I don't care that you're a girl." Chad glared as he grabbed Mal's arm.

"Hey!" Mal glared and complained, hissing a bit.

"You have to pay for what you've done," Chad told the girls as the cousins came for Evie by cornering her. "You set me on fire, so it's time to extinguish that by putting you two in the lake!"

"Extinguish?" Evie murmured and rolled her eyes.

"It's clever!" Chad retorted.

"Clever is yet another C word I don't imagine looking good on you." Mal countered.

"You should've stayed lost..." Chad narrowed his eyes dangerously.

Mal grunted and growled as her eyes flashed and she began to try to turn into a dragon, but she seemed to be having a hard time in doing so. She had the smoke and fire in her, but she still was missing something as she couldn't bring it out. "What...? No..." she then whispered in dismay.

"It would appear that you've made a fool of yourself once again... Daughter of Maleficent," Chad then said before facing Evie. "You will never be fairest in the land."

"Neither will you," Evie retorted icily. "My mother's mirror even told me you're the biggest jerk in the land."

"Yeah? Well, you're a gold digger." Chad retorted.

"Hey!" Mal glared. "Don't talk to Evie like that! She's smarter than you'll ever be!"

"Sorry, Dragon Breath, but you don't scare me!" Chad snapped. "Come on, boys, I think these girls need a swim!"

"Hey! Cut it out!" Mal cried out as this began to annoy her immensely.

The boys continued to drag and pull on the girls and began to take them to the lake as punishment for setting Chad on fire. Evie was very angry, but not as angry as Mal who was tired of being seen only as Maleficent's daughter and nothing else which was why she left Storybrooke in the first place. Sam and Simon both grabbed Mal and Evie while Chad grinned at this, enjoying every moment as he thought that it felt well-deserved.

"You'll never be anything other than villains who will live unhappily ever after," Chad told them bitterly. "Never. Especially you, Evie, since you're best friends with the son of Rumplestiltskin who just uses and abuses people, he doesn't care about anyone, so why should his son care about anyone either, especially you, Mal?"

"Leave Evie out of this!" Mal snarled as her eyes glowed green.

"I can't believe we used to be friends, Chad," Evie also glared. "Doug would never treat a girl like this."

"Doug? That loser dwarf from school?" Chad mocked a bit more. "You actually know him?"

"He happens to be a very good friend of mine unlike you!" Evie retorted.

"How do we know you don't use your own magic to cheat in science class and suck up to Mr. Deley?" Chad continued to taunt. "You can't be beautiful and smart."

"LEAVE HER ALONE!" Mal snarled in a very deep, demonic voice and suddenly disappeared in a puff of blackened purple smoke. Suddenly, she was in her dragon form with her emerald eyes glowing and looking just as if not more menacing than her mother and grandmother combined.

"Retreat!" Chad suddenly told the Stabbington cousins as he ran for it. "Beautiful and ditzy girls and me first!"

"Look who's back~" Evie grinned proudly at her friend.

Mal continued to fly around in the sky until she swooped down and breathed her fire, shooting Chad right on the bottom as he ran for his life. She then came back flying and looked at Evie and suddenly gave Evie a ride on her back and the blue-haired girl cheered because it felt so cool to ride on a dragon like in the story of Hiccup Haddock.

Audrey was in her bedroom brushing her hair and preparing to meet her guests downstairs.

"Hello, Audrey..." Mal greeted as she looked a bit scary for a moment, appearing in Audrey's room with Evie. "I can see you're like a sweet-smelling bud, much like your mother was that my mother told me about~"

"Mal...? What? No way... y-you're supposed to be dead!" Audrey panicked.

"Well, that's a bit harsh and unfair." Mal remarked.

"Well, I told myself you were dead so that Benny Boo and I can be happy together and live happily ever after together." Audrey glared and defended as she tried to stay strong.

"Ah, yes, Ben, Ben says he's going to protect you... I could kill him... I could kill you like my mother and grandmother tried the same for yours, but even I have standards." Mal replied mysteriously.

"How did you both get up here anyway?" Audrey frowned.

"Well, let's just say, magic has awakened, and now I'm going to teach you a much needed lesson," Mal told her.

"My mother defeated your mother's plan as I shall whatever yours is," Audrey glared as she tried to escape the teenage Dark Fairy. "All it will take is what I have and you never will."

"True love? Don't count on it," Mal smirked. "I have my own quite special curse in mind for you and the other descendants."

"No! You're not going to put me to sleep!" Audrey complained as she fought Mal.

"Bold of you to assume that's what I want~" Mal smirked. "Besides, isn't this a birthday slumber party?" she then looked over and picked up a perfume bottle off of Audrey's vanity table.

"Hey! That's mine!" Audrey cried out as she tried to get it.

"I know... let's see if you can sleep like your mother and grandmother~" Mal smirked as she rubbed the bottle and it glowed briefly and she spritzed the teenage Sleeping Beauty in the face.

"No!" Audrey cried out and suddenly fell into a deep sleep after the spritzing.

"That was inspired." Evie approved. "Though I wonder who her true love's kiss will be if not Ben or Chad?"

"Chad's his own true love," Mal rolled her eyes. "And, well, it never would've happened if it wasn't for you. You reminded me of who I am. Thank you."

Evie beamed as she felt like she did a great thing and very much hoped that she did. "Violet looks good on you." she then told her friend once her natural hair color was back.

"Huh, yeah," Mal chuckled as she looked down at her locks. "Blonde hair and pink nails were so not me."

"You must let me take you to The Three Bears' Spa." Evie suggested.
