     "Alright class,  today we are going to find the difference between good and evil, for, as the rules state, 'Only the greatest evil can disguise itself as good.'" Yuba announced.  Halia was surprised by how loud his voice was, given his small body.  

Suddenly, with a wave of his staff, all of the girls turned into pink  princesses with big lips, enormous hips, and long golden hair.  Then, 6 golden coffins appeared in the clearing.  Yuba explained that the princes must choose which girl was a princess and which one a witch.  Each girl stepped into the coffin, each girl except for Halia, who immediately proclaimed very loudly that she was not interested in boys, and therefore wanted take on the role of the prince and Yuba turned her back into herself because he had learned very early on not to argue with this particular student if he wanted anything productive to happen. Yuba switched up the coffins, and the boys came forward, looking for their princess. 

"We want to do it too," Hort said.

"Very well, might convince some of these girls to behave," Yuba said, but quieted down when Halia sent him a withering look.

Hort popped a mint leaf into his mouth.  Some of the boys looked at him, and he exclaimed that it was 'to make his mouth fresh'.

Halia didn't know why, but she felt drawn to the third coffin.  She opened the lid and kissed the maidens hand.   The girl dissolved into none other than Willow, the girl who had brought her to the hospital wing.

"And so we meet again, fair maiden." Halia said in a mocking voice.

"And so we do," replied Willow.

Somebody shrieked, and they turned to see Tedros on the ground laying in front of Agatha.

"Sorry, reflex," Tedros said sheepishly.

"It's alright."  They both turned to the other side of coffins to see Sophie gasping, Hort in front of her.

"Hort!  I thought I told you to start brushing your teeth every day!" Sophie scolded him.

"I forgot, but I would have if I had known we were doing this today!" Hort explained apologetically, looking at Sophie pleadingly.  

"Hort, villains never dabble with love!" Yuba shrieked loudly, and promptly cast a stink smell on Hort, then locked him and Sophie inside of the same coffin.
