Mal, alone, approached Ben with a batch of love potion cookies. She had gotten the idea from the spiked tea that was given to her. It was brilliant. All Ben had to do was take one bite and the wand will be hers.
Audrey had just left Ben to himself after complaining about the others.
"Hey, Bennyboo!" Mal mocks Audrey. Ben turns around and greets her. Mal takes out a baggie with the cookies inside. "I just made a batch of cookies. Double chocolate chip, do you want one?"
"Oh, I, uh, I've got a big game. I don't eat before a big game. But thank you so, so much. Thank you. Next time. Next time." Ben says, about to walk away but Mal speaks again.
"No, yeah. I completely understand. "Be careful of treats offered by kids of villains." " Mal says with fake sadness. Ben opens and closes his mouth like a fish.
"No, no, no."
"No, I'm sure every kid in Auradon knows that." Mal continues.
"No, that's not it. No, no, no, I... I really do..." Ben gets cut off by Mal who continues her charade.
"No, I get it. You're cautious. That's smart." She opens the baggie and takes a cookie out. "Oh, well, more for me, I guess."
Before Mal could take a bite, Ben ripped it out of her hand and takes a bite himself. Mal smirks when her plan of guilting Ben works.
"Hey... see that? Totally trust you. Totally." Ben chews before a goofy looking smile appeared on his face. His hazel-green eyes light up.
"How are they?" Mal asks? Ben goes to ramble on about the cookie, but switching to how pretty Mal's eyes are. Ben was going to take another bite but Mal took the cookie back. Jay grabs on to Ben's shoulders and asks,
"How you feeling, bro?"
"I feel... I feel... I feel like... Like singing your name. Mal, Mal." Ben sings out, but Mal covers his mouth. Mal smiles at the idea that her plan actually worked, but that feeling deteriorated when she caught the harsh stares of Bianca and sinister look of Claws. They walk away quickly, no doubt to tell Margery and the other about the night before.

Once Mal finally got Lonnie to leave the kitchen, she got to work on baking the cookies. As the Rotten Core four finish cleaning, they hear the open. Mal turns to see who it was, but no one was there. She turns back to catch on the cookies, when the loud sound of a pot dropped on the floor.
"Oh no, oh no. This place is haunted!" Carlos shrieks. The door opens again.
"Actually, it's called disappearing." The villian's kids turn around to see Bianca with her arms crossed. Jay takes a step back, no doubt a bit scared of the girl. "You can come out now, Claws."
"You're no fun, babe." Claws growls. Jay jumps again. Claws smirks and hops onto the counter, looked at Jay. "Hello again, handsome."
"Down, C." Bianca says. She leans on the counter where Mal's spell book was under a piece of cloth, but still sticking out. Of course, she hadn't seen it yet, but the suspense was killing Mal. Claws grabbed a large mixing bowl and goes to raid the fridge.
"What are you all doing here?" Bianca asks.
"We could ask you the same question." Evie retaliated softly. Bianca smirks at the girl
"I asked you first, beautiful." The sound of a bowl falling was heard and suddenly Evie was pushing back. She was caught by the guys, but the force was strong. Suddenly Claws reappeared, glaring at Evie. She walks away back to the fridge with a mad look on her face.
"Sorry about that. She gets possessive." Bianca tells, not actually caring if they understood about Claws' action just now. She heard the mutters of the group saying wherever or it's fine.
"What are you making?" Bianca asks, her voice suddenly filled with curiosity.
"Cookies."
"Cookies? What's the occasion? We usually have them for tea. By the way, Margery is waiting to have at her tea party again."
"Can't. We'll be busy." Mal said.
"Doing what?" Claws called from the fridge.
"Stuff." Mal answers alone.
"Stuff?" Bianca repeats.
"Yeah."
"That sounds like a lie, sweetheart." Bianca says, treading towards Mal. Mal glared at Bianca to intimate her but it did seem to work.
"After what happened last time, we won't be having tea with you anytime soon." Mal says.
"Why?"
"You drugged us!" Mal shouts. Bianca lets out a laugh, covering her mouth with her hand.
"Don't tell me you've never done anything as bad to someone else." Mal stayed silent. She looks at Evie, remembering what she had done to her the night of the hell raiser at Cruella's place. "See? And you tell us what we did was bad."
"You could have killed us." Mal says. Claws rolled her eyes.
"Oh please, the worst would be a headache." Claws growls.
"You're all crazy! You and the others. Especially Margery! Who does she think she is to threaten us?" Mal snaps. Claws walked up in her face and showed her sharped teeth.
"Watch your words, princess. We might just come biting back."
"Let's go, C. We won't associate with outcasts."
"Takes one to know one."
"Yeah, but at least we choices to be outcasts. No one here will ever accept you." Bianca growls. Claws grabbed a hold of her and they left with their snacks. Mal crosses her arms and went back to cleaning.
She realized that her spell book was moved from under the cloth into plain sight. It was no doubt that Claws had looked at it.
Mal was in trouble now.
