'If someone hands you a crying baby, do you? A, curse it? B, lock it in a tower? C, give it a bottle? Or D, carve out its heart?" Fairy godmother asked as she pointed to the board. Evie's hand shot up, "Evie" Fairy godmother said as she pointed to her.

"What was the second one?" Evie questioned as Mal shot her a look. "Oh. Okay. Anyone else?" Fairy godmother spoke, ignoring Evie's question. "Mal?" Fairy godmother continued as she pointed to Mal as she was drawing. "C, give it a bottle." Mal answered as she went back to her sketch.

"Correct, again." Fairy godmother said. "You are on fire, girl!" Carlos spoke up. "Just pick the one that doesn't sound like any fun." Mal replied. "Ah, that makes some much sense." Evie spoke. "Or maybe just choose the one that sounds like it wouldn't get you in trouble." Lily spoke up as she crossed her arms against her chest. "Your no fun, Lily." Mal rolled her eyes as Jane ran up the isle, squealing, running to the front of the class.

"Hello, dear one." Fairy godmother bent down. "Hi. You need to sign off on early dismissal for the coronation." Jane replied as she handed fairy godmother a clipboard. "Everybody here remembers my daughter, Jane?" Fairy godmother spoke to the class. "Mom, no!" Jane whined as Jay shot Carlos a smirk.

"It's okay. Jane, this is everyone." Fairy godmother said as she moved Jane to the center of the classroom. "Hi." Jane said nervously. "Hi." Lily smiled at her as she waved. "That's okay, don't mind me, as you were." Jane continued as she ran back down the hall, squealing.

Fairy godmother cleared her throat, "let's continue." She said as she turned back to the board. "You find a vial of poison. Do you, A, put it in the king's wine? B, paint it on an apple? Or, C, hand it over to the proper authorities?" Fairy godmother continued as Jay, Lily, Evie, and Carlos raised their hands, Jay shoving Carlos's hand down.

"Jay." Fairy godmother pointed to Jay. "Hand it over to the proper authorities." He answered, shoving Carlos's hand. "I was gonna say that!" Carlos spoke up. "But I said it first!" Jay replied as he grabbed Carlos into a head lock, "come here! Come on, who said it first? Who said it first?" Jay taunted as the fell over onto top of the desk. "Guys." Lily hissed as she rolled her eyes.

"Boys. Boys!" Fairy godmother tapped on the wooden podium. "Boys. Boys!" She repeated as the boys stopped. "I am gonna encourage you to use that energy on the tourney field." Fairy godmother continued. "Oh, no. That's okay. Whatever that is, we'll pass." Carlos smiled as Jay got off him.

Audrey came out laughing, Chad by her side as Ben stepped in front of her. "Those kids are trouble." Chad said, pointing to Mal, Evie, and Lily, who were getting books out of their lockers. "Bye, Mal." Evie said. "Bye, you going too, L?" Mal questioned. "You want me too?" Lily said as she closed her locker and leaned against it.

"Come on, Chad. Give them a chance." Ben spoke up as Audrey laughed, raising her sunglasses up. "No offense, bennybear, you're just too trusting. Look, I know your mom fell in love with a big nasty beast who turned out to be a prince. But with my mom, the evil fairy was just the evil fairy. That girl's mother." Audrey said as she grabbed Ben's hand. "I think you're wrong about them." Ben said, letting go of Audrey's hand. "I'll see you later." Ben continued as he patted Chad on the chest, walking over to Mal and Lily.

"Hey!" Ben said as Mal slammed her locker. "Hey." Mal and Lily greeted back. "How was your first day?" Ben questioned. "Super." Mal replied. "It was good." Lily smiled as Ben directed his gaze on her. "Good," He smiled, looking back at Mal. "You should really think about taking this talent off the locker and into art class. I could sign you up." Ben continued, looking at Mal's locking which was spraypainted. "What do you think?" Ben questioned as Jane walked by, Mal turning to watch her walk away.

"Way to take all the fun out of it." Mal said as she looked back at Ben. Lily moved and elbow Mal, "She'll do it." Lily moved from behind Mal. "What!" Mal shot her head to the side, widening her eyes at Lily, Lily just smiling. Ben stifled a laugh as Mal looked back at him and scrunched her nose as she walked away, pulling Lily with her. "Bye." Lily smiled and waved. "Bye, guys." Ben replied.
