CHAPTER 7

After curfew, the villain kids snuck down to the kitchen to make cookies which is the love spell.

"All right. It says that we still need one tear, and I never cry," Mal says as she reads from the spell book. Ellie is standing beside her with Evie on the other side while the boys sat on the other counter.

"Let's just chop up some onions," Carlos says as if it would solve everything.

"No. It says that we need one tear of human sadness," Ellie tells him while Mal nods in agreement.

"And this love potion gets the best reviews, so we have to follow it exactly," Mal says really wanting this to work.

"A tear's a tear," Jay retorts.

"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 explains causing Ellie to look at her impressed.

"Listen to you," Ellie says causing Evie to smile.

"Yeah, I knew that," Jay says as if he didn't mess up.

"Did not," Carlos argues.

"Yeah, I did," Jay says quickly.

"There you are, Mal!" Lonnie says as she rushes into the room causing Ellie to quickly cover the book with a towel. "I was looking for you. You know, all the girls want you to do their hair? Midnight snack, huh? What you guys making?"

"Nothing special. Just cookies," Ellie answers her with a shrug of her shoulders.

"Oh, no, no!" They all say as Lonnie dips a finger into the dough.

"What? I'm not gonna double dip," Lonnie says as she eats the dough.

"Feel anything?" Evie asks her.

"Yeah, like maybe it might be missing something?" Mal adds.

"Hey, there," Jay says charmingly as he stands in front of Lonnie.

"It could use some chips," Lonnie answers as she walks away from Jay causing Ellie to lightly giggle at Jay's defeated look. Jay sends Ellie a glare before sitting on the counter again.

"And those are?" Ellie asks relieved that nothing happened to Lonnie.

"Chocolate chips. Just the most important food group," Lonnie answers as she walks over to them with a bowl that has small pieces of chocolate in it. "Wait, didn't your moms ever make you guys, like, chocolate chip cookies?" Lonnie adds some to the dough but they all look at her in shock from what she is saying. "Like, when you're feeling sad, and they're fresh from the oven, with a big ol' glass of milk, and she just makes you laugh and puts everything into perspective and..." The shock quickly turns into looks of sadness. "Why are you all looking at me like that?"
