Everyone sat in a circle holding hands. "Chain spells are about the fluid movement of energy from witch to witch. Where's Penelope Park?" Mr. Williams asked. "Um, lady cramps, Mr. Williams." Lizzie answered. "Sorry I asked" Mr. Williams said. "A disharmonious group makes for an uneven flow." Mr. Williams continued. The group bursted out laughing at his unintentional pun. Y/N looked over to her sister seeing as she wasn't laughing, she quickly stopped laughing.

A paper airplane flew into the room. "Uh-oh, who's in trouble with the headmaster" Josie asked. "Probably the people who started a rumble with the local high school." Hope said looking over to Lizzie. "Y/N get your sister in check" Lizzie said. "Lizzie Saltzman, Josie Saltzman, Hope Mikaelson..." Mr. Williams said. Y/N sighed in relief. "And Y/N Mikaelson. Off you go." Mr. Williams added. "What did YOU do?" Y/N whispered to her sister.

"This makes no sense, Dad. Why are we being punished?" Lizzie asked. "Because you started a brawl at a charity football game that risked exposing what we really do here." Alaric explained, furious. "Oh yeah! Because me and Lizzie punched someone we could have got caught" Y/N sarcastically said before rolling her eyes. "Well, you weren't mad last night." Lizzie thought. "I was made last night. My undying love for my daughters just happened to trump my rage. I volunteered everyone in the game, so stop complaining. You're lucky that it's just community service, and not actual jail time." Alaric told Lizzie. "Can I at least offer a rebuttal in my defense, if it pleases the court? First of all, I was provoked. "Secondly if anyone should take the blame, it's Josie." Lizzie added. "What!" Y/N and Josie both said in unison. "I'm sorry. I totally cracked under cross, but if you had just let Kaleb catch the ball.." Lizzie explained. "It everything still would have happened Lizzie! You disobeyed what Dr. Saltzman told us to do, we tried to win instead of lose! The brawl was started becayze Dana was being Dana!" Y/N defended the brunette. "Exactly! You'd all still be in trouble!" Alaric cut in. "But nice job throwing your sister under the bus." Hope said. "Hope's right, Lizzie" Y/N sided with Hope. "I can't believe you're siding with her!" Lizzie complained. "Lizzie, you might be my best friend but she's still my sister!"  "Girls! The bus leaves in ten minutes, and I expect all four of you to be on it, working together today, harmoniously and without drama. End of debate." Alaric explained. "I wasn't even at the game. Why am I being punished?" Hope asked. "You know what you did." Alaric said looking over to Hope. "Ooo, do tell" Y/N teased. "Alright, now go, all of you. Come on." Alaric clapped his hands together. Everyone walked out the room.

"So what did you do. My dad never gets mad at you. You're the prodigal daughter. Must have been juicy." Lizzie asked Hope. "Sorry, no time for girl talk. Public service awaits." Hope said as they all exited the bus. "Alright listen up. It's a beautiful day. Everyone has an option except for the mikaelsons and saltzmans. Lizzie and Y/N graffiti duty. Hope and Josie, trash" Dorian said. "Great I do trash because I love trash..as of this moment." Hope said. "Perf. It suits you." Lizzie joked. "Looks like we're scrubbing paint today." Lizzie said to Y/N.

"Come on, MG, any slower and you'd be going in reverse." Lizzie complained. "Look, I'm doing the best I can without vamping in public." MG defended himself Lizzie. He went back to attempting to scrub the graffiti off the wall. "That's plain pitiful, bruh." Kaleb said. "Well, at least he's trying. I don't see you pitching in." Lizzie argued. " 'Cause this whole this is wack. What, we get punished for wanting to win a game fair and square." Kaleb clicked his tongue. "It wasn't fair. We're supernatural, they're human." MG said. "And LeBron's maybe the best player ever. Should he quit scoring? 'Cause no one on the court can check him. We're faster, we're stronger. We're better. And we ain't got nothing to apologize for...Nothing." Kaleb bragged.
