Chapter 13: Family Day

"Okay, we all know what this looks like." Mal pointed to a picture of the wand, "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 on the balcony. Okay. Carlos?" Mal instructed us, pointing to different spots on the map in front of us.

This is it. We were in the boys' room finalizing our plans for the coronation about how we were finally going to grab the wand and escape.

"Okay, so I'll find our limo, so we can break the barrier, and, uh, get back on the island with the wand," Carlos said, taking a glance at the various maps that were laid out in front of us.

"Perfect. Evie? Sky?" Mal asked, looking at Evie and I who were standing right next to her.

I glanced up at the two and away from the array of images in front of us, "Yeah?"

"You will use this to take out the driver. Two sprays and he'll be out like a light." Mal handed Evie a tiny blue perfume bottle.

"Okay," Evie said. And that was it, that was our whole plan covered. The boys got up from the table and went to their beds.

I was about to leave with Evie when I noticed the page of the spellbook Mal was staring at.

"M?" I asked, slightly concerned for my friend.

Evie stopped too, noticing the title of the page: How to Break a Love Spell.

"You want to break Ben's love spell?" Evie asked.

"Yeah." Mal answered, Evie and I both gave her a look, "You know, for after." Evie sat down in the chair next to Mal and I stood behind the two, still staring at the page in the book.

"I don't... I've just been thinking," She explained, "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."

She seemed a bit upset by the whole thing. I couldn't blame her though, I think we all felt that way a bit. After all, we made such good friends here and now we were just gonna throw it all away for the sake of our parents and their little scheme.

Mal closed the spellbook and headed towards the door, "M?" Evie called out, but Mal just ignored her and walked out the door.

Evie and I left the boys to do their own stuff and we headed back to our own room. We were both quiet the whole way, it wasn't an awkward silence or anything though, just... silent.

We both got into our pajamas and got ready for bed. I noticed Evie take out one of her chemistry tests and stare at it. It was the one Doug helped her study for. She actually managed to get a pretty decent grade on it, and she didn't even use the mirror.

I knew she felt bad about stealing the wand and leaving this place behind. After all, it didn't take a genius to see how much of an Auradon girl she truly was at heart. Not only that but she and Doug really had something, it didn't take a genius to see that either.

I decided to pull out the picture that Parker gave me, he gave it to me not too long ago. It was a picture of us at the beach on our first date, we were both making goofy faces at the camera.
