*at the end of the day Mal leaves class and meets Ben by her locker*
Mal: hey how was class
Ben: it was okay, kind of boring and you weren't there, you?
Mal: could've been better, could've been worse, you've got to tourney practice now haven't you?
Ben: yeah the tourney season doesn't start for another month but coach likes to be prepared
Mal: Yeah kind of overkill you know but whatever floats his boat
Ben: you going to come watch?
Mal: yeah, the advantage of so many private classes she made up just for me is that there isn't really any homework other than practice what I learnt in the lesson
Ben: see so there are some advantages to it then
Mal: a few
Ben: good as long as you're happy
Mal: Well as long as I've got you all be happy
Ben: well you'll always have me
Mal: then always be happy
Ben: and you being happy makes me happy so will both be able to stay happy forever
Mal: come on coach will have a head fit if you're late
Ben: probably, so we better go
Mal: yeah
*they get to the tourney field and then after an hour long practice they go back to the changing rooms to get changed, about five minutes later then comes out dressed in a blue shirt, grey tracksuit bottom and some white daps on*
Mal: can we go crawl up in a casual clothes on the couch
Ben: of course, I was hoping you'd say that
Mal: so, let's go get me into my comfy clothes
Ben: let's do that

Ben: it's my stomach, it really hurts
Mal: I need you to be okay

Ben: okay, don't cry
Coach: how bad is it
Ben: about 7 out of 10
*jay and Chad run back out with the doctor*
Doctor: alright all of you go back to the castle, send the Kings parents to the medical wing

Ben: it's okay
*he says through gritted teeth*
Doctor: my lady, you need to go back to the castle
