Mal's POV

'I can't believe I lost to Uma and now I have to give her and Maddie FGM's wand. This is not going to go well' I say to myself as I'm walking back to the Hangout to tell the other VKs what just happened.

I get to the bottom of the stairs, throw the rock at the sign and head up

"Mal what happened? Where's Ben" Carlos asked as I get to the top and they realise that Ben isn't with me

After I explain what went down at the Shoppe they all start to get very worried

"There is no way we're gonna give Uma and Maddie the wand" Evie exclaims "We can't just let them destroy Auradon"

"If they don't get the wand then Ben is toast, guys" Carlos says bluntly

"Great, so we're going to give Uma of all people, the wand. To be honest I don't think Maddie is doing this to be evil, she has to be doing it for her daughter" Evie carries on, soon they start to argue but I came up with an idea

"Wait, you guys" I shout trying to get their attention, they all stop and look at me so I carry on "Your 3D printer"

"A phony wand" Carlos says catching on to my idea

"Yes" I exclaim

"In my sleep" Carlos brags

"Yeah, but the second they tests it, they'll know it's fake" Evie worries

"Okay, so then we get Ben out really fast. We need some kind of diversion" I say

"Smoke Bombs" Jay says loudly

"That's perfect, I'll get the chemicals I need from Lady Tremaine's place. That could work!" Evie says excited that she might see Dizzy again since she works there

"Oh and sick hair by the way" Evie compliments as she walks over to have a proper look at it "Evil Stepmom seriously stepped up her game"

"Okay, do you wanna know something. Dizzy did this" I say to her as her jaw drops at the mention of her "little sister"

"Little Dizzy? Shut up" She says

"I know, I'm, like, loving it" I say while running my fingers through my new hair "It's like a lot lighter"

"I'm really proud of her" Evie says just before we get interrupted by Jay coughing in the background

"Hello?" Carlos says probably fed up of us talking about hair

Suddenly we realise we should probably carry on trying to save Ben instead of fan Girling over hair

"Right. Carlos, Jay, you guys meet us at Pirates Bay, no later than noon. And you guys, losing, not an option. 'Cause we're rotten" I tell them

"To the core" we all say in unison

"Let's do this" Evie says as well all head off to where we're supposed to go

~~~~~~~

"Got it?" Evie asks as I hold open the glove as she pours the smoke chemicals into it

"Yeah, I got it"

"Perfect. That makes five smoke bombs" Evie says tying the glove so nothing falls out

"Okay, I think that's enough right?" I ask

"Yea"

I start to put all the smoke bombs in my bag as Evie and Dizzy are talking about accessories and auradon and things like that when someone walks in
