I WATCHED as the others stepped into the limo, or in Carlos's case, jumped in. I saw Mal stop and look up at her mother and nodded slowly.

"The jackals have landed." The driver said into their suit jacket. I shrugged it off not giving a care.

I heard their parents yelling demands happily, while I sat beside Jay and Evie. Soon enough, the boys spotted the candy and glanced at each other, then fought for it. I rolled my eyes scoffing.

"Who's your parents, Jinx?" Evie asked while applying blush on Mal's cheeks, making her grimace and exclaim in disgust.

"You'll find out.. one day." I shrugged as Carlos started to eat a piece of chocolate and describe it obviously.

While Jay and he were eating, Mal was fidgeting with a black rectangle. Suddenly the back window opened and we could see the bridge or the ocean.

"Look!" Evie yelled catching our attention.

"It's a trap!" Carlos shouted. I rolled my eyes, knowing it was magic. How did I know? Well, lots of reading and listening.

They all screamed and held each other, I didn't touch any of them of course. A gold light shined into the car and the next thing I know, I'm looking out onto the ocean.

"What's happening?" Carlos asked as they all let go of each other's limbs.

"It must be magic!" Evie cried so happy and excited.

"Hey!" Mal greeted the driver. "Did this little button just open up the magic barrier?"

"No, this one opens the magic marrier." He responded showing us another remote. "That one opens my garage. And this button.." He continued, closing the window and putting up the divider.

"Okay. Nasty. I like that guy." Mal chuckled, falling back into her seat.

─── · .ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. · ───

As the car drove closer, I saw preppy students in pastel-coloured clothing, greeting us. I felt like I could throw up. When the driver opened the door, Carlos and Jay fell out, fighting for a piece of cloth. I exited the vehicle after Mal, avoiding the chaos in front of me.

I crossed my arms, ignoring their immature attitude. Then Fairy Godmother walked forward with a forced-looking smile.

"Jay!" I whisper-yelled, swatting his arm. Messing up a first impression was the worst thing to do, especially in front of the person that we needed to trust us.

Jay looked at me and removed his leg from Carlos's chest.

"Just cleaning up." He smiled, holding out a hand for the boy. "Get up."

"Leave it like you found it!" The Fairy Godmother demanded them.

"She means leave it." I explained, turning my eyes to the two. Jay chucked back in everything he tried to steal.

"Hello, Foxy.." He then flirted with the girl. "The name's Jay."

She laughed nervously, while Fairy Godmother leaned to the side and into his view. "Welcome to Auradon Prep."

His smile faltered. "I'm Fairy Godmother. Headmistress."

"The Fairy Godmother? As in bi-bi-ti bo-bi-ti-boo?" Mal asked waving her hand around, looking surprised.

"Bi-bi-ti bo-bi-ti, you know it!" She confirmed our thoughts.

"Yeah, I always wondered what it felt like for Cinderella, when you just appeared, out of nowhere.. with that sparkly wand and warm smile." Mal chuckled, making it a little obvious.

"Ohh." She cooed sweetly.

"And that sparkling wand." Mal continued, making it even MORE obvious.

I coughed behind my hand. "Tone it down."

"That was a long time ago. And as I always say, 'Don't focus on the past or you'll miss the future!" She waved her hands around, causing me to think she was a tad crazy..

Then the two other people stepped forward. "It's good to finally meet you all. I'm Ben."

"Prince Benjamin! Soon to be king!" The girl corrected him.

"You had me at the prince." Evie took a stride closer to him. "My mom's a queen, which makes me a princess."

"The Evil Queen has no royal status here and neither do you." This bitch disagreed, looking her up and down.

"This is Audrey." Ben chuckled.

"Princess Audrey!" Audrey corrected him.. again. God, what's with her? Just shut your mouth. "His girlfriend." She grabbed his hand, linking their fingers. "Right, Bennyboo?"

"Ben and Audrey are going to show you all around, and I'll see you tomorrow. The doors of wisdom are never shut! But the library hours are from 8:00 to 11:00. And as you may have heard I have a little thing about curfews." Fairy Godmother interrupted Audrey's praising.

She then walked off and the band followed her. Ben smiled charmingly and stepped over to Jay. "It is so, so, so good to finally m-meet you all." His speech faltered when Jay punched him in the chest.

He moved on to Mal, looking like he got lost in her eyes. "This is a momentous occasion, and one that I hope will go down in history..Is that chocolate?" He then held his hand out for me after Carlos.

"Oh. I don't do physical touch, especially from strangers." I denied his handshake and he went on to Evie.

"..As the day our two peoples began to heal." He continued.

"Or the day that you showed five people where the bathrooms are." Mal commented sarcastically, getting impatient.

"A little over the top?" Ben asked us.

"A little." M chuckled and he did with her..

"Well, so much for my first impression." He laughed. I noticed Audrey's smile twitch. I knew she could feel something between the two, it made me smile.

"Hey! You're Maleficent's daughter, aren't you? Yeah, you know what? I totally do not blame you for your mother trying to kill my parents and stuff. Oh! My mom's Aurora." Audrey butted in on their gawking. "Sleeping-"

"Beauty. Yeah, I've heard the name. You know, and I totally do not blame your grandparents for inviting everyone in the whole world, but my mother to their stupid christening." Mal smiled fakely.

"Water under the bridge." Aurora's daughter commented.

"Totes!" And the two giggle into forced laughter.

"Could we table this discussion? Ben?" I called out getting very bored.

"Right! So, how about a tour? Yeah? Auradon prep, originally built over 300 years ago and converted into a high school by my father when he became king." Ben remembered we don't have all day.

We followed him like a dog and halted in front of some statue. Ben then clapped, turning the man into a beast, making Carlos scream and jump into Jay's arms. We all turned to him confused and some in shock.

"Carlos, it's okay. My father wanted his statue to morph from beast to man to remind us anything is possible."

"Does he shed much?" Mal jokes.

"Yeah, Mom won't let him on the couch." Ben joked back, I felt like I could die right now, table the romance and replace it with stealing the wand.
