One thing about Uliana is she never takes things lying down... Especially when she feels attacked. That's why when she and her posse showed up at the Black Lagoon, the subject of their meeting was obvious. Their usual hangout was summoned and they started skipping across the rocks.

"So, anyone have any suggestions?" Uliana asked though if you've been in Uliana's Crew long enough you would know she already has something in mind but you would know better than to remain silent.

"Well.. why don't we make her walk the plank?" Hook suggested. It was the closest thing he could think of that wouldn't get Bridget hurt, on account of the fact dangerous creatures weren't allowed on school grounds, and it seemed close to what Uliana probably wanted. Speaking of the Sea Witch, she quickly replied "Come on, that's too easy."

Before Hook could even form a thought about that statement Maleficent said, "Let's prick her with a thousand thorns." Maleficent looked really proud of herself until Uliana replied sarcastically, "And I'd guess she'd fall asleep."

Hades placed a hand on Maleficent's shoulder slightly burning her, as he notices this he seems to come up with an idea, "We could burn her to a crisp." Morgie smiled wide at this suggestion and repeated Hades' words, "Yeah let's burn her to a crisp!"

Uliana looks at them and rolls her eyes, "I want to traumatize her not kill her." She says giggling a little, "I want this to be something she remembers for the rest of her life. And she can't remember it if she's dead."

Hades sighed loudly, it was clear everyone had run out of ideas. Uliana seemed to sense this and decided now was a good time to explain her own idea. "This year's Castlecoming takes place in about a week.. I feel that will be the best time to execute the plan."

"What exactly is this plan?" Maleficent asked, a slightly annoyed tone to her voice. Big mistake Uliana starts staring at Maleficent with an angry glare. "The plan," Uliana starts speaking taking a book out of her jacket "Involves this cookbook right here."

The group all looked at the Sea Witch confused, how would a Cookbook be any use in a revenge plot? Uliana rolls her eyes when she realizes her Crew have no idea what she's using the cookbook for. Uliana explained, "This cookbook has a recipe that will take Bridget down a peg."

"How exactly would a recipe do that?" Morgie asked even more confused than he was a moment ago. "Well, I'm glad you asked. You see inside this cookbook is a cookie recipe but it's not a regular cookie recipe it's a recipe to have the person who eats the cookie fall in love with the first person they see after tasting it." Uliana explained proudly.

The rest of the group joined in her enthusiasm, until Hades asked.. "So, who are you going to make her fall in love with?" Uliana's smile shifted into a frown slowly after hearing those words. "I don't actually know..." She answered.

The Group looked at each other knowing that's it's got to be one of them as they couldn't ask anyone else to do it. Because, though Bridget denies it, everyone loves her so they would never do something so cruel and they couldn't not tell people what they wanted to do as they other students of Merlin Academy don't trust them finally Maleficent broke the silence.

"Not it." She said placing her hand in the air Hades soon followed. Uliana looked at them with an annoyed expression, "What do you mean 'Not It'? Why are you excluding yourselves from this?" Hades looked ready to speak up but Maleficent was the one who started this so he let her explain. "We're not excluding ourselves from this revenge plot, we're just saying we won't be the ones to give her the Love Cookie."

Uliana didn't roll her eyes at Maleficent's nickname for the cookie but instead she immediately replied, "Why not?!" Uliana seemed angry but Hades didn't seem to show any fear when he spoke up, "Because we're in a relationship. And neither of us want to do this while we're together even if the other is aware." Maleficent nodded in agreement.

"Well, I can't be the one who gives it to her!" Uliana exclaimed, "It would look too suspicious!" Morgie raised his hand, "And I can't do it because Arthur is my cousin and he'd destroy me if he knew I put a love spell on his Crush." That was true, everyone at school was aware Arthur had a crush on Bridget especially Morgie. That only left one person.

"Great.." Hook said, "This is just great." The rest of the group looked at Hook. "You know this could work.." Uliana said walking towards him, "Imagine how embarrassed Bridget would be if she figures out she confessed to Hook in front of the entire school."

Hook's eyes widened a little bit before he could fully process the others chimed in. Morgie was giggling as he said, "Maybe she'd go back to Wonderland and try to convince her Mum to hire a private tutor just so she wouldn't have to come back here!" Maleficent grinned "Or she plays it off as one big joke and say she meant to say that to someone else instead." Hades gasped for a moment and Hook was (stupidly) hoping for the best, "Or she tries to pull an insane stunt on school grounds so everyone would forget it ever happened!" Yeah, honestly he should have seen that coming...

Hook assumed they continued speaking to each other about this plan but he wasn't really paying attention to be honest. He was focusing on what they said on every single little detail. Maybe just maybe he.. "Hook?" He felt a tap on his shoulder and was pulled back into the present. "Yes?" Hook replied to the person who turns out to be Morgie, "I said let's head back to our dorm and you didn't respond." Morgie said, little smidge of annoyance in his voice.

"Crap, I spaced out and didn't hear you. But we can go now." Hook replied, Morgie had this look on his face that seemed to say Finally! You were taking forever. "Well, let's get going then." Morgie said walking towards the others, Hook followed behind and the group talked until they made it to the Merlin Academy Dorm rooms. Hades sunk down to the underworld, Uliana insisted Maleficent should help her bake the cookie, and Hook and Morgie went to their own dorm room.
