"Why are you guys trying to kill each other over candy?" Evan asked.

"Because they're morons," Mal said with a smirk. She really didn't want to go into the fact that there really was no candy on the Isle, unless the monthly shipment of food happened to contain some. Considering most of the stuff was actually garbage, candy was in limited supply.

"Not even there yet and already hard at work," Evie said, chuckling a little.

We certainly disagree there, Ben thought with a small smile at seeing his current girlfriend on the screen. Granted she was plotting to steal Fairy Godmother's wand and make it so that the villains took over but it was still attractive.

"Chocolate," a red-haired young woman said with a smile.

"Oh Anna," a white-haired woman around her age shook her head in amusement.

Many of the princesses wrinkled their noses at the sight of the pre-chewed candy and even a few princes felt disgusted at the sight.

"What was that?" Lonnie asked, concerned for her friends. They didn't actually think they would have been thrown into the ocean, right?

"Exactly what it looked like," Mal told her, the walls from Family Day still up when it came to any of the children from Auradon. Well, with the exception of Ben.

"That is the last time I allow him to drive to the Isle!" Belle stated. "Honestly, if that's how he treats children!"

"Your majesty, it was fine!" Evie told her.

"Yeah totally!" Mal nodded.

"Oh lord," Mal sighed and fought the urge to hide her eyes. Evie had no such power and groaned while placing her hands over her eyes as if to block out the image on the screen.

"They're like siblings," a woman with frizzy red hair chuckled.

"More like your brothers," an older woman with long flowing brown hair replied accompanied with a chuckle of her own.

"Really Mal?" Evie chuckled. "I can't believe no one noticed that."

"Give me a break E," Mal shook her head. "You try coming up with something right off the cuff. All your designs take weeks to perfect."

Meanwhile, Fairy Godmother sighed. She hadn't noticed that during the exchange because she thought that the interest with her wand was purely academic. After all, the child was part fairy and would have had the pain of not being able to practice her magic on the Isle.

"Audrey, the whole point was so they didn't know who I was," Ben shook his head. "If they knew, they might have thought that I was only there out of royal obligation."

"Or we might have thought that it was your idea since you would be the one making the decisions," Mal said, causing Ben to look forward in hope. "But your idea is much more plausible."

"Too bad we all thought it was Maleficent's doing anyway," Carlos muttered in amusement.

"Audrey!" Aurora scolded her daughter. "While that may be true, you have to have a little more tact when addressing the matter."

Audrey nodded, unhappy about being scolded in front of the villains. Mal, on the other hand, couldn't help but be impressed at Sleeping Beauty. Now, how would she react when she found out exactly what her daughter was like?

Lonnie bit back a snort at the recurring nickname. One of the best things about Mal's arrival was the fact that the nickname had finally died.

"Gee, it's almost like my whole life," Jane muttered to the student sitting next to her. "It's hard to make friends when you have to be back home exactly when your mom says."

"Considering we hadn't gone all day, you were pushing your luck there Ben," Mal told him.

"What do you mean?" Ben asked, turning to Mal with a hint of concern on his face.

"The Isle was having a sewage backup problem—the only toilet that worked was Gaston's and to this day we don't know how he managed that," Jay said with a shrug. "It happened about once a month so we weren't that concerned."

"Until being scared out of our minds by the bridge reminded us that we did, in fact, have to use them," Carlos added. "Evie's probably the only one who could have gone an extra hour or so since she can go the entire school day and never use a bathroom break. "

"Carlos!" Evie exclaimed.

"What? You know it's true!"

"Well yes, but you don't talk about those things!" Evie told him. "It's not proper!"

Mal, Carlos and Jay looked at each other and then, in unison, replied, "WE'RE VILLAINS!"

"Oh," Evie looked down, sheepishly. "Right, I forgot."

"And that wasn't awkward at all," Phillip muttered. While he wasn't crazy about the idea of the villain kids staying in Auradon, he couldn't help but hope that Audrey would help the new students. Instead, he found just the opposite.

Everyone couldn't help their snorts of amusement at Ben's deadpanned delivery.

"You know Ben," Emir said with a grin, "if being king doesn't work out, you could always go into comedy!"

"Who happen to be royalty," Lonnie muttered.

"Not all of our blood," Aladdin whispered and locked eyes with Cinderella and Eugene. The three of them had become close after one of Jasmine's royal meet-and-greets as there always seemed to be a new royal coming out of the woodwork. They were always there to assist when the strain of royal life seemed to get one of them down.

Even Belle was a semi-permanent member of their group. She just couldn't come as often as her duties of Queen kept her busy.

"You're grounded," Aurora turned to Audrey. "Two weeks with no phone, no computer and no car."

"What?!" Audrey exclaimed.

"You heard me," Aurora told her.

Doug flushed as his cousins couldn't help but laugh at his reaction to Evie's arrival.

"Got a crush, Doug?" one of them teased.

"Shut it, Harper," Doug muttered. However, Harper's voice, low as it was, was loud enough for Evie to hear him. She honestly didn't know how to feel about that—on the Isle, no one paired up for love. It was all about connections. It's why she was told to get a prince after all. A prince meant mobility. A prince meant stability. A prince meant never having to go back to the Isle.

"Gee, new class?" Eugene muttered to Aladdin, rolling his eyes. Honestly, while they weren't villains, the two of them knew that they wouldn't be seen as 'good' in the eyes of the heroes back when they were stealing things.

"How'd you know that?" Doug asked.

"History class always mentioned them," Carlos shrugged. "It was one of the few classes I found interesting."

"What was wrong?" Ben asked, turning to Mal.

"We weren't exactly used to all that sun," Mal told him.

"And all that space," Evie added on. "I mean I liked the room but for just Mal and myself, it felt like a castle."

"Most families on the Isle double up," Mal explained to Ben, who looked confused. "With the exceptions of my family, Evie's, Carlos' and Gaston's, most everyone had about two or three families living with them."

"I would have welcomed another family," Carlos muttered under his breath.

"But then, why would you be used to cramped conditions if you didn't have another family with you?" Lonnie asked, overhearing the conversation.

"Just because we lived alone didn't mean our rooms were spacious," Evie said. "The only reason no one else roomed with us was that everyone was terrified of our mothers."

"E, you can have your own opinion you know," Mal whispered with a sigh, having had this conversation a time or twenty. "Besides, my mom wasn't there. It's not like she can affect what you think."

"I know," Evie whispered back. "It's just, I didn't want you mad at me for liking the room. I couldn't afford to lose a friend that quickly."

"Nothing you do is going to make me give up our friendship E," Mal told her, wrapping an arm around Evie's shoulders.

"Huh, now I know what to do when the next group comes in," Ben nodded.

"You're not seriously going to continue this!" Chad asked, alarmed.

"Why not?"

"Maybe because those four are only here because they're going to steal Fairy Godmother's wand!"

"Stealing is forbidden here," Fairy Godmother told him. "You will have to return those items to their rightful owners."

"Plus, you know, raised since birth to do so," Jay said with a shrug.

"Oh right," Mal nodded. "I forgot Jafar did basically teach you to steal since you could walk. The man needed new items for his store."

"I'm with Mal on this one," Carlos said with a chuckle.

"It wasn't a compliment," Evie told her.

"I took it as one," Mal smirked. It was her goal to be just like her mother and hearing that from her best friend was icing on the cake.

"Amazing," Charming chuckled. "Here for only hours and they forgot the task their parents assigned them."

"Maybe having them here won't be that bad," Cinderella told him. "Mal seems to be the only one focused on the goal and she doesn't seem the type to work alone."

The younger students couldn't but chuckle at Jay's response. They didn't understand why the older students and the parents had such a hard time understanding that there was nothing wrong with the four. Mal and Jay were always ready to protect them if they had a problem with another student, Evie helped them with homework. Carlos and Duke cheered them up when they felt down.

Ben couldn't help but look at Mal. There were many words one could use to describe his girlfriend but evil, vicious, ruthless or cruel were not one of them. Maybe he was biased since he was dating her but he could tell since she arrived that she was the opposite of how everyone thought she was like. Granted she was snarky and she wore darker clothing but there were people in Auradon who did the same. Saying Mal was a villain would be like saying Meg was a villain.

"Nice rhyme," Audrey snickered.

"Do you want to make it three weeks?" Aurora asked, having heard her daughter's comment.

"Mother!"

"Apologize."

Audrey sighed but nodded. "My apologizes Evie."

"Rhyming wasn't an encouraged task on the Isle," Evie said with a smile.

"The attention span of a gnat," Lonnie chuckled with a smile.

"How did you know that?!" Ben exclaimed. "You weren't even looking at the screen!"

"Knowing how far something is was a vital skill on the Isle," Mal explained as Carlos seemed unlikely to answer. "It meant you knew how far safety was if you were attacked."

"Shall we continue?" Blue Fairy asked as the screen faded to black. She knew she had asked this every time but she wanted to give Mal and the others a chance to back out. If they grew uncomfortable with the others knew, she wanted them a chance to say no.

Something they had never been given before.
