CHAPTER II : REMEDIAL GOODNESS 101, TOURNEY & TROUBLEMAKERS

           _ If someone hands you a crying baby, do you, A, curse it, B, lock it in a tower, C, give it a bottle, D, carve out its heart ?

As the Fairy Godmother asked the question, the room was silent, again. Welcome to Remedial Goodness 101, the most boring class ever. The VKs all seemed to think, all but Mal, who was drawing the wand, very realistically. After a while, Evie raised her hand, with a little smile.

_ Evie ?

_ What was the second one ?

_ Oh, okay. Anyone else ?

Another silence. But that didn't discourage Fairy Godmother who, then, asked Mal, who was beginning to feel really bored and wasn't paying attention at all.

_ Mal ?

_ C, give it a bottle.

_ Correct. Again.

_ Damn, you're on fire girl ! Carlos said, proudly.

_ Just pick the one that doesn't sound like any fun. Mal explained, plainly.

_ That makes so much sense. added Evie

And just like that the rest of the VKs seemed to realize how to do it, it was kind of easy after all. As their moment of realization faded away, a girl around their age entered the room, squealing, only to make a bee-line to the Fairy Godmother.

_ Hello, dear one.

_ Hi. You need to sign off on early dismissal for the coronation.

_ Everyone here remembers my daughter, Jane ?

_ Mom, no !

_ It's okay. Jane, this is everyone.

_ Hi. That's okay. Don't mind me. As you were.

_ Ahem. Let's continue. You find a vial of poison. Do you, A, put it in the King's wine, B, paint it on an apple, C, turn it over to the proper authorities ?

Jay grabbed Carlos' arm to keep him from responding. This little friendly fight always ended up with Jay winning, that time was no exception.

_ Jay.

_ C, you turn it over to the proper authorities ; Jay answered cockily.

_ I was gonna say that. Carlos whined.

_ But I said it first. Come here ! Come on ! Who said it first ? Who said it first ?

Jay grabbed Carlos this time, ruffling his hair while teasing him. They ended up laying on their desk, and Fairy Godmother had to call them about four times before they stopped.

_ Boys ! Boys ! I am gonna encourage you to use that energy on the Tourney Field.

_ Oh no, that's okay. Whatever that is, we'll-we'll pass; Carlos gulped.

✵✵✵✵✵✵✵✵✵

            Evie and Mal were sitting on the bleachers, watching Jay and Carlos on the Field who were trying out. It hadn't begun yet, and Carlos already looked like he was lost. On one of the teams, they noticed Ben, the soon-to-be-king, as Audrey would say. Speaking of Audrey, she was on the side of the Field with her cheerleaders. The Fairy Godmother had offered to the girls to try out for the cheerleader team, but learning that Audrey was the leader, they said no quite quickly. As the two girls from the Isle were trying to spot their friends, three girls from Auradon approached, and they didn't make a face when they saw them. On the contrary, they even sat in a row in front of them. Two of them were blonde, only one was a natural blonde, and there was a redhead with them.
