Author's note: Hey everyone I'm glad you all liked the last chapter. To answer a question that someone asked…yes, I believe that I will eventually bring Hadie but I don't know when. I might bring him sometime during the second movie or maybe bring him when we find out who Mal's dad is. Which is during the third movie, so the kid won't spoil anything. I know I'm making things very complicated. I don't own Descendants at all.
If Only we don't have to do this-
Many were still excited about what they just saw related to the game.
Uma and Harry were bored they were wanting something exiting to happen. Gil was oblivious to what his friends were thinking, he was just enjoying himself.
The scene is now on Evie in the chemistry lab looking through her purse in a panic.
"Looking for something?" Mr. Deley held up the Evil Queens mirror. "Thank you, Chad. It's gratifying to see someone still respects the honor code."
"CHAD CHARMING!" Cinderella exclaimed, shocked that he had taken Evie's mirror.
Chad shrank in his seat as his parents gave him mad looks.
"We will be talking about you taking other people's stuff later, along with you having girls do your homework."
Chad gave Evie a real smug look.
"It will be my recommendation that you will be expelled."
Mal, Carlos and Jay looked at Evie shock. She obviously didn't tell them about this.
"Mr. Deley, I…" Evie quickly tried to come up with an explanation.
"But that isn't fair." Doug chimed in. "Obviously she wasn't cheating since she didn't have that…whatever it is."
"It's called a magic mir…"
"You're not helping. Stop. Maybe she needed another pencil."
"Actually, I was…"
"Really, don't help. Please." Doug pleaded to Evie and then to the teacher.
"Please."
"That was very sweat of you Doug to help her." Snow White smiles at him and Doug's cousins were smirking at him.
Doug started to blush a little.
"Well, if you can pass this test, I'll return your property and let the matter drop." Mr. Deley gave in despite his wishes for Evie to be expelled.
"Even if the matter was brought to my attention, I would have rejected the idea that she should be expelled. It would have been too strict considering it would have been her first offense." She shot many of the teachers looks but mostly Mr. Deley who looked a little pale.
Evie smiled happily.
Evie smiled and nodded her head in agreement but shot a glare at Chad.
Doug got Evie's attention. He silently told her to get back to his test, instead of worrying about Chad.
Doug is then seen in the picnic area with Evie coming up behind him. She placed a test paper in front of him with a B+ on top.
Dizzy cheers making most of the people in the room wince. The villains didn't like her doing that one bit but couldn't speak because K and R were holding up duct tape.
Although Evil Queen looked like she really wanted to say something because she was super mad at her daughter for using her brain when she was told not to.
"For the first time, it's like I'm more than just a pretty face." Evie said with a smile.
"A shocker, huh?" Doug laughed.
She sat down next to him, "You were pretty great in there."
"So were you."
"I bet I can get an 'A' on the next test without the mirror."
"Yeah, well maybe we can get together, and we'll hang out with-"
"Yeah. Let's get together."
Dizzy looks happy for Evie, while Uma, Harry and Gil looked bored.
Celia just looked uninterested in what was going on, while sitting with her father.
"There you are! I have been looking for you literally everywhere!" Mal exclaimed, briskly walking up to Doug and Evie, putting a pause on their conversation.
"What's wrong?" Evie asked.
"Ben just asked me out on, (she paused) a date."
Dizzy gets even more excited.
"Nice." Doug smiled nodding his head.
"We can handle this," Evie said. "Bye." She said to Doug.
"Bye."
"You're looking a little pale," Evie said looking at Mal's appearance.
"Yeah of course."
"I can fix that with some gloss and some blush."
"No!"
Many people just roll their eyes.
"Mal, I can use the-"
"No, no, no!"
Doug went back to work, taking a sip of his drink.
The scene changed to a shot of the outside of the school while bells rang in the distance. The two girls sat on Mal's bed as Evie applied blush to Mal's cheeks.
"Okay. Easy on the blush, I don't want to scare him away. Not that I could."
"Please. My mom taught me how to apply blush before I could talk. Always use upwards strokes." Evie finishes the blush and gets lipstick.
Snow White gasped and sent a glare towards the Evil Queen who glared right back at her.
"My mom was never really into makeup tips, and I never had a sister."
"Well, now you do. We're going to need all the family we can get if we don't pull this off. My mother's not a barrel of laughs when she doesn't get her way. Just ask Snow White."
"Are you afraid of her?"
"Sometimes. Are you afraid of your mom?"
Maleficent and Evil Queen just smirk, well it was hard for Maleficent to smirk with the duct tape on her face.
"I just really want her to be proud of me, she gets so angry with me when I disappoint her. And she's my mom so I know she loves me…in her own way."
Queen Leah scoffed at the idea of Maleficent even being capable of loving something.
Evie then took Mal's hand, "Moving on. Come see."
"Are we done?"
"Yeah." She guides her over to the big mirror in their room.
"Oh." Mal says shocked seeing herself.
"You look beautiful Mal!" Dizzy squealed.
Only K and R noticed Hades's eyes had pride in them.
"I know."
"I look…"
"Say it."
"Not hideous." Mal clutches the edges of her leather jacket.
"Not even close."
There was a knock on the door. Mal looked at her reflection once more before opening the door to Ben. He stared at Mal, "For the first time, I understand the difference between pretty and beautiful."
Audrey crossed her arms while Queen Leah didn't look very happy.
Mal snorted amused.
"I hope you like bikes." Ben says, holding up a pair of helmets. Mal took one of the helmets and threw Evie a quick look.
Ben laughed and Evie ran up to the door while the two of them walked away. Watching for a few minutes, she quietly closed the door.
Mal gave Evie a look, as she pretended not to notice.
The scene changes to Ben and Mal on Ben's scooter on a road in the wood. Mal adjusts her grip as she held onto Ben and Ben seemed to sit straighter. After a few minutes, they walk along a bridge, laughing and generally having fun.
"Tell me something about yourself that you've never told anyone."
"Um…my middle name is Bertha."
Audrey and Chad were snickering but had to stop when their parents gave the two of them looks.
Uma and Harry looked very amused.
"Bertha?"
"Yeah."
"Bertha."
"Just my mom doing what she does best. Being really, really, evil. Mal Bertha."
"Mine's Florian."
"Florian?"
"Yeah."
"How princely. Oh, that's almost worse." Mal chuckles.
"It's a fine middle name Belle says smiling.
"I mean, you know, it's better than Bertha. But it's still not…"
Ben is now leading Mal down a wooded hill; Mal has her eyes closed. It's clear that this is mean as a surprise.
K sighs, "Ah, a romantic surprise.
R then made a comment, "But it would have been better to go on a hike, not wearing a dress, or high heels.
Many other girls agreed while Ben looked a little sheepish.
Evie kind of wished he would have told her what the date would have been so would have planed a better outfit for her best friend.
"Watch your foot. Yeah. Are you good?"
"Mm-hmm."
"Open."
Mal opens her eyes and is shocked at what she sees. A picnic was set up on the ruins that looked out on the lake and cliffs. Mal looked over at Ben, amazed that he would set all this up.
A few people who, can see things a little closer, knew what lake they were at but decided not to tell.
Audrey was looking mad because this was a place Ben never took her.
"Go on," Ben told her and Mal made her way down. Mal and Ben were now sitting on a blanket, Ben lying on his side while Mal sits upright with her legs curled under her.
"Mm." Mal exclaimed as she took a bite of one of the food items Ben brought along.
"Is this your first time?"
"Mm, we don't really date much on the island. It's more like…gang activity."
"That's just putting it lightly." Carlos says chuckling.
Dizzy looked at Mal, "Didn't you and Harry had some sort of relationship a while ago."
Harry smirked until Uma smacked the back of his head.
Mal gave Dizzy a look, who just looked back at her innocently.
Ben was looking a little jealous but only K and R noticed.
"Um, I meant is this your first time eating a jelly donut?" Ben laughs a little, causing Mal to freeze.
"Is it bad?"
Ben sat up and reached over, wiping the crumbs from Mal's lips. "You got a…just a…I mean, yeah, do this," he says and presses his lips together.
Mal gave him a look before following the instructions, licking her lips and closed her mouth. "Mm-hmm. Gone? You can't take me anywhere, I guess."
"You know, I've done all the talking. (Ben starts to lye back down. "Your turn. I really don't know that much about you. Tell me something."
"Well I'm sixteen, I'm an only child, and I've only ever lived in one place."
"Me too! That…we have so much in common already."
"No, trust me. We do not. And now you're going to be king."
"Yeah." Ben looks down.
"What?"
"A crown doesn't make you a king." Ben seemed to be doubting himself.
Belle and Beast looked at their son worriedly.
"Well, it, kind of does."
"No, it…your mother is Mistress of Evil and I've got the poster parents for goodness. But we're not automatically like them. We get to choose who we're going to be. And right now, I can look into your eyes and I can tell you're not evil I can see it."
Audrey and Chad rolled their eyes, they didn't buy it for a second.
The two look at each other for a minute before Ben looks over at the lake. "Let's go for a swim." Ben tries to lighten the mood.
"Hm? What?! Uh, right now?" Mal is taken aback.
"Yeah, right now!" Ben says as he unbuttons his shirt.
Many girls looked on in interest causing others to roll their eyes.
"I think I'm just going to stay here."
"No, no, no. Come on!" Ben reached out his hand for her to take.
"I was so used to Audrey being in control of our dates." Ben trailed off.
K raised her hand, "Oh let me guess! All your dates involved going shopping."
Ben stared at her in shock and then nodded confirming her suspicion.
Audrey tries to defend herself, "I needed to look my best, many of those clothes would go out of style."
Many people rolled their eyes.
"I think I'm going to stay behind and try a strawberry. I've literally never tried a strawberry before," Mal takes a bite to convince him, "Mm!" her eyes widened as she truly tasted the strawberry. "Mm…" she hummed in delight, continuing to eat them.
"So, you started her obsession." Evie accused to Ben. Mal just rolled her eyes at her friend.
Ben smiled nervously.
"Don't eat all of them."
"Okay! Ooh! Mm!"
Ben climbed up onto a rock that faced the picnic area, wearing only a pair of swim trunks. Mal turned her head and noticed that Ben was about to dive in. Getting up, she leaned against one of the pillars. Ben gave her a little wave.
A few of Ben's friends start laughing a little bit when they see what kind of shorts Ben was wearing.
"Are those little crowns on your shorts?"
Ben looked down, as if unsure about who's shorts Mal was referring to. "Maybe!" He called back embarrassed as he rubbed his hands on his shorts.
Mal waved and Ben waved back. He gave a roar before jumping into the water below. "Whoo! Ha-ha!"
Many of the kids and adults were wondering why he would roar.
Mal laughed with him and turned away as Ben swam off.
She started to sing:
A million thoughts in my head
Should I let my hear keep listening?
Evie looked worried for her best friend.
Cause up 'till now, I've walked the line
Nothing lost, but something missing.
I can't decided what's wrong, what's right
Which way should I go?
Queen Leah scoffed once more, hopping she would just go back home where she belonged.
If only I knew what my heart was telling me
Don't know what I'm feeling
Is this just a dream?
"It's a really good dream." Carlos whispers.
Ah oh, yeah!
If only I could read the signs in front of me (previous scenes started to play with the song)
Dizzy perks up seeing scenes she didn't see before.
I could find a way to who I'm meant to be!
Ah oh, if only
If only
If only
If only
"This, hits close to home for some of you I bet." K says as R smacks her upside the head for interrupting the song.
Although a few people like Eugene and Aladdin couldn't help but agree.
Every step, every word
With every hour, I'm falling in
To something new, something brave
To someone I, I have never been.
"As far as I can tell, you've always been this particular person." Ben says smiling at her.
I can't decide
What's wrong, what's right
Which way should I go?
Queen Leah thought her same response from last time. Chad and Audrey also thinking it.
If only I knew what my heart was telling me
Don't know what I'm feeling
Is this just a dream?
Ah oh, yeah
If only I could read the signs in front of me
I could find a way to who I'm meant to be
Ah oh, if only
Yeah
Am I crazy? Maybe we could happen
Yeah
Will you still be with me when the magic's all run out?
Everyone knew she meant the love spell.
If only I knew what my heart was telling me
Don't know what I'm feeling
Is this just a dream?
Ah oh!
"I think I hear another voice singing with her." Dizzy says making others look at her.
If only I could read the signs in front of me
I could find a way to who I'm meant to be
Ah oh
If only, yeah
If only, yeah
If only, yeah
If only, yeah
If only
If only
The song ends and Mal sits at the end of the platform and noticed Ben was nowhere in sight.
"Ben? Ben? Ben!"
Belle stiffened, she was wondering where he could have gone, and was worried about her son.
The more she called for him the more worried she became. Mal then jumped into the water and tried to swim by struggled as she got caught in a deep spot, almost submerging herself.
Evie, Jay, Carlos, Dizzy and little bit of Hades looked worried for Mal.
Ben emerged from the water, taking Mal in his arms and carrying her to safety.
"You scared me!" Mal exclaimed whacking him on the arm.
"I believe a lot more of us were scared." Belle says clutching her husbands hand.
"You…you can't swim?"
"No!"
"You live on an island!"
"Yeah, with a barrier around it, remember? Ugh!"
Melody speaks up, "Uh, if you are interested, I could help you with learning how to swim."
Mal looks at her and says, "We'll think about it."
Melody nodded.
"And you still tried to save me."
"Yeah, and do you thank me? No! All I get is soaking wet!"
Hades was secretly fuming.
"And, uh, this fancy rock. It's yours. Make a wish and throw it back into the lake."
Mal gave Ben a look and plopped the rock back into the water near the platform before getting up to walk away from Ben.
Many boys in the room knew that it was not the best timing to give her that rock.
Ben quickly followed her, hopping up on to the platform and grabbed his jacket. He draped it over Mal's shoulders and proceeded to dry off. Ben played with a strand Mal's hair as the two started at each other.
Many girls sighed at the romance that was happening.
"Uh, Mal? I told you that I loved you. What about you? Do you love me?"
Audrey was fuming thinking that Ben was still under the love spell.
Mal was quiet for a while before finally turning away. "I don't know what love feels like."
A few of the other isle kids agreed, letting the others know that they don't know what love feels like either.
Ben reached for Mal's chin and turned her face so that she was looking at him. "Maybe I can teach you."
We cut to the outside of the school before switching to the Remedial Goodness 101 classroom.
"Children excuse me. Um, as you know, uh, this Sunday is Family Day here at Auradon Prep, and because your parents can't be here due to uh, distance we've arranged for a special treat."
The Core Four wince remembering how badly this turned out to be. Lonnie, Jane, Doug and Ben looked at them worried at their reactions.
Dizzy hugs Evie trying to get her to feel better, making her smile.
Fairy Godmother giggled and happily made her way to the front of the room where a TV had been set up. She clicked a button and Maleficent's face popped on the screen.
Aurora sighs when her mother jumps, she didn't understand her sometimes. Maleficent was in the room tied to a chair why would she jump when she appears on the screen.
"I don't see anything, nor do I hear."
"Kids." Fairy Godmother beckoned them over to the tv.
Maleficent is still struggling.
"Press enter." Jafar suggests.
"I believe their greatest weakness is technology." K says giggling, R rolls her eyes.
"Can I please see a remote?!" she's becoming even more irritated. "Is this thing on? Ugh, I hate electronic equip…oh!" the monitor turns showing them their kids.
Evil Queen yells out, "EVIE! It's mommy!"
Evie smiled and waved.
Snow White smiles slightly, she was happy her Stepmother, seemed to love her daughter. She was wondering if she would be able to get a chance to talk to Evie at some point. She wanted to get to know her Stepsister, hopefully she didn't view her the same way as the Evil Queen.
"Oh! Look how beautiful. Oh, you know what they say, the poison apple doesn't fall far from the tree."
Snow frowns, 'Of course she's only thinking about herself.'
Her husband squeezed her hand to keep her calm.
"Don't you mean the weeds?" Maleficent says.
"Ooh! Who's the old bat?" Cruella exclaims.
Jane glares not happy that Cruella called her mother that.
"This is Fairy Godmother." Mal says to them.
"Still doing tricks with eggplants?" Maleficent asks making the other villains laugh.
"I turned a pumpkin into a beautiful carriage!"
"You really couldn't give Cinderella till 1 am? I mean really? What, the hamsters had to be back on their little wheels?" Maleficent and Evil Queen bumped fists.
Jane scoffs rolling her eyes, "That's not how magic works."
Mal turned to her and says, "At this point she was just trying to get a rise out of your mom." Jane nods understanding.
"They were mice!" she continues until Mal began to move her away from the camera.
"Thank you so much. Thank you….Hi mom."
"Mal! I m-m-miss you!" she struggled to say.
Hades glares at Maleficent not happy she couldn't seem miss their daughter, he was glad that he left Maleficent.
"You children are never far from our thoughts." Jafar said.
"I got it." Maleficent interrupted. "How long must mommy wait to see you?"
"Um, there's a big coronation coming up. I think sometime probably after that."
"When?" her mom demanded.
"Friday, 10 am."
Queen Leah looked livid and turned to Fairy Godmother, "How did you not see that these little miscreates were planning something with their villainous parents!"
Fairy Godmother turned to her and said, "Because I just thought they wanted see their children in person again because parents usually miss their children."
Ben did not look happy about what Queen Leah said and then everyone turned to look in the direction of K and R.
K was giggling while R glared at her.
"What's so funny?"
Uma asked annoyed with everything.
"Sorry I just find the word miscreate funny…let's continue shall we."
"Are you sure I can't see you before that? I don't know what I'll do if I don't get my hands on that magic wan…you, you little nugget that I love so much!" she almost revealed the plan but Evil Queen had hit her head.
"Yes, I completely understand mother." She said with a fake smile.
Cruella then spoke up seeming to just notice Dude in Carlos's arms, "Carlos is that a dog?"
Dude growled.
Many people from Auradon nodded their head happy that Dude knew how bad Cruella was, especially Anita and Roger.
Cruella grabbed the stuff dog on her shoulder, "Oh yes, yes, baby, I do understand. It would make the perfect size for earmuffs."
Anita and Roger gasped and glared at the tied-up Cruella who glared right back at them.
"He's the perfect size for a pet." Carlos shot back getting close to the screen.
"Oh."
"This dog loves me, and I love him-and FYI, your dog is stuffed!"
"Oh!"
"So, give it a rest!" He finally stood up to his mom.
Some of the Turney team cheered for Carlos, who looked at them slightly embarrassed.
Jafar started laughing, "Oh-ho! Burn!"
"Oh, why don't you go sell a toaster, you two-bit salesman!"
"People who talk to stuffed animals shouldn't throw stones."
"Oh, well people who sell toasters shouldn't use mixed metaphors."
"Enough!" Evil Queen says before Jay turns off the monitor.
"I'm so sorry." Fairy Godmother says.
"Thanks for the special treat." Jay told her.
"I wouldn't call that a special treat." Lonnie whispered, only Ben, Doug and Jane heard her. They nodded their heads agreeing with her.
"Of course."
The kids collected their things and began to walk out of the room. "M? What do you think our parents are going to do to us if we don't pull this off?" Evie asked.
"I think they will be quietly disappointed in us but ultimately…proud of us for doing our best."
"Really?"
"No, I think we are definitely goners." Mal told them.
"Yeah."
There was silence many of the adults seemed horrified thinking about what the four kids had said.
The scene changes to them in the boy's room gathered around a table.
"Okay, we all know what this looks like. So, it'll be up on the dais under the Beast's spell jar, and we'll be coming in from here. I will be in the very front. You all will be up in the balcony, okay? Carlos?"
"Okay, so I'll find our limo so we can break the barrier and, uh, get back to the island with the wand."
"Perfect. Evie?"
"Yeah?"
"You will use this to take out the driver. Two sprays and he'll be out like a light." Mal handed her a small spray bottle that almost looked like perfume.
"It looks a little like perfume." Dizzy giggled, Mal rolled her eyes but smiled at the younger girl.
"Okay." Evie took the bottle and began to walk away while Mal was flipping through her mother's spell book. Evie gasped when she looked down at the page Mal was on.
"M? You want to break Ben's love spell?"
Audrey gasped, thinking 'I could get Ben back.'
"Yeah, you know for after. I don't…I've just been thinking, you know, when the villains finally do invade Auradon, and begin to loot and kick everyone out of their castles and imprison their leaders and destroy all that is good and beautiful, Ben still being in love with me just seems a little extra…cruel."
Many people were starting to feel bad, Ben smiled at Mal sadly.
"M?" Evie asked but Mal got up and headed to the kitchen. The scene changed to Jay getting out of be and staring at his MVP trophy, Carlos staring at Dude and Evie pulling out her test marked with a B+ before fading to Mal working on the anti-Love Potion.
She then starts to sing sadly:
A million thought in my head
Should I let my heart keep listening
I know it's time to say good-bye
So hard to let go
Mal cuts off and stirred the ingredients in a bowl. She was going forward with her anti love potion. She couldn't help the single tear that slid down her cheek into the bowl.
