"I don't understand?" Doug half stated half asked.
"What?" His blue haired true love replied.
"Are they dating? I saw her reject his kiss, but she hasn't taken her eyes off him since."
Evie followed where he was pointing. There was Uma with her eyes trained on Harry Hook as he danced with Audrey. She had a smile on her face that could only be described as wicked.
Evie looked back at Doug and began to laugh. It was the sweet sound of bells with a touch of evil. It was the sound that drew Mal toward the pair with Ben in tow.
"What's up, E?"
The girl had not settled enough to answer.
Mal quirked an eyebrow at Doug.
"I asked if they were dating," he pointed in Uma's direction once more, "and this is how she responded."
The wicked smile now crossed Mal's face as well. She and Evie locked eyes, and mischief silently passed between them.
Ben caught the exchange and became worried that Mal wanted to reignite the feud with Uma. He started to tell his future queen that Uma was on their side, but he only had the first words out when Evie cut him off.
"Don't worry, Ben. I'm only laughing because it's complicated."
"Yeah, Ben. I promise that I'm not plotting." Mal said rolling her eyes playfully at him. "Doug to answer your question I'll go get Uma."
Uma saw the purple haired fairy walking her way in her peripheral vision.
"What's up, girl?" she asked looking Mal's way, but leaving one eye on Harry.
"Just told Doug that'd I would come get you to clear up a," she paused here for dramatic effect, "question he asked."
Uma did not miss the glint of mayhem in Mal's eyes when she had said the word 'question.'
"What does he wanna know?"
"If you and," she jerked her head almost imperceptibly in Harry's direction, "are dating." Mal replied rather flatly, but the glint was definitely still there.
"What did you tell him?"
"E, told them it's complicated through a fit of laughter. I just told them I'd get you to, uh, clear it up." Mal winked.
Uma's wicked grin widened.
"Let's play."
