-Ben's POV-
I quickly paced my footsteps and arrives infront of the vks room. My heart was pounding, my mind is in a mess. I don't know why my heart was conflicted.

I was torn between the reason this heart was pounding wildly , and hitched breaths. Was it because I was in front of the vks' room or was it because I had just realized what my little Selene goes through.

I quickly straightened my back and knock their door.

The door suddenly opened and there was Mal , Evie, Carlos and Jay.

My hands was sweating and my gaze couldn't look straight to Mal's.

"Hey, Mal. I didn't see you guys today. I was just wondering If you had any questions or anything... That... you needed..." I flickered and flashed a quick smile.

"Not that I know of", Mal replied.

"Okay. All right. Well, uh, If you need anything, just, uh...", I panicked upon hearing her words.

I shouldn't have come, I looked at my feet and started to move backwards.

"Oh, wait!", I stopped on my tracks as my eyes met her green ones, " Um, is it true that we all get to go to your coronation?"

"Yeah, the whole school goes.", sheepishly.

"Wow. That is beyond exciting.", her eyes sparkled as she her lips curled up,  "Do you think that It's a possibility that the four of us could stand in the front row next to the Fairy Godmother, just so we could soak up all that goodness?" She looked at me pleadingly.

I chuckled at the sight of her cuteness, "I wish you could. Up front It's just me, my folks, and my girlfriend.", I looked at her sighing.

"And your girlfriend?", she looked smiling at me.

-Mal's POV-
His breath hitched a little. I started to smile involuntarily waiting for his answer for my mockery about his queen-wanna-be.

"Yes, I'm sorry."

"Oh. Thanks, bye."

"Oh, but, no, there's plenty of...", I swing as the door slowly closed.

"I think It's time that Bennyboo got himself a new girlfriend. And I need a love spell.", I smiled taking out my book of spells and flipping through the pages.

-Mal's POV-

The gang quickly mixed up the recipe that my magic spell provided. It was an easy task I could say , a little bit of flour, a little bit of egg, some sugar , milk and some things. However it was frustrating for me as we haven't got our last and the most important ingredient to make this spell works!

"All right. It says that we still need one tear, and I never cry.", I sighed hand threw my hands up in the air

"Let's just chop up some onions.", Carlos said sitting above the kitchen desk.

"No. It Says that we need one tear of human sadness. And this love potion gets the best so we have to follow it exactly.", I complained rolling my eyes and darted it towards the batter.

"A tear's a tear.", Jay talked back cheekily

"That's not true, Jay. They both have antibodies and enzymes, but an emotional tear has more protein-based hormones than a reflex tear.", Evie looked at Jay backing me up.

Impressed by her skills , I looked back at her. In just a short time she really improves a lot.

"Listen to you.", I smiled looking amazed.

"Yeah, I knew that.", Jay answered confidently.

"Did not." , the white hair snapped.

"Ah! Hi...", Selene suddenly popped out of nowhere.

Her eyes were puffy as she waves to us and flashes a smile.

"Hey...", Jay quickly replied and all of the boys reflexively lay off from the kitchen desk.

"What are you doing?"

"Nothing special, just cookies.", I covered the bat with a simple cloth.

Selene suddenly grabbed the batter pf cookies, dipped her hand and tested it.

"Wait, wait, wait!!!" Carlos quickly took the batter out of her hands.

Her face was confused and looked around, "yea?"

"Feel anything?", Evie walks a step towards her.

"Like maybe it might be missing something?", I asked panicking if the batter works even without a tear.

All of sudden Jay shoves himself in-front of Selene with the flirty smile he swoons over all the girls he had, "Hey there," his raspy voice echoed.

I shivered hearing his flirting voice , it was disgusting and I could never understand how he sweeps girls with it.

As her ears and cheeks heats up, Selene's gaze averted from Jay's to mine, "could use some chips."

"Chips?", Jay was shocked

"And those are..." , she stops at me

"Chocolate chips?", with light steps she walk towards a kitchen drawer and took out a jar of small beady dark chocolate colors.
The important ingredient for a cookie!" she walks back towards us and shoves us the jar.

All of us stunned at her looking like she took out some unbelievable chocolate color beads.

"You.. never tried cookies?"

We looked at her and looked at each other.

"I mean... ermm... don't your moms ever make you some warm food when you are sad... or something..?", she paused between her lines.

Her face looked at disbelief towards us as her eyes became watery.

"It's just.. different from where we're from.", I looked at her not understanding a word she said.

"I thought.. maybe people with moms got all that treatment. I guess we're a little similar huh?", she looks down and tears started to form.

I quickly wiped a tear out from her cheeks and quickly flicked it towards the batter.

"Yeah, well, big bummer," I quickly shoves her out " but we have to get these into the oven, so thank you so much for coming by. Really, really have a good night. I'll see you tomorrow. Evil dreams.", I waved a small hand gesture and looking at her figure.

She looked at me hesitated, but gives me a small smile, " don't exert yourselves."

"See you tomorrow." I yelled softly, "okay boys! Cookie sheet. E! Oven!"

Evie quickly spins herself and heats up the oven while the boys starts to take some sheets and started to cut them.

"Could I have one too?", Jay asked

"For Selene?"

Jay all redden up and looked at me sheepishly.

"Focus Jay! I'll give you only for back up if me and Ben isn't happening!", I glared at him.

"Okay...", he averts himself from my sight and I continued to beat the batter.

My hands suddenly stopped and I thought up something weird from what Selene spoke about...

I guess we're similar huh?

What is that supposed to mean...
