"So, anyone want to tell me why it looks like the Remedial Goodness 101 classroom is in the study lounge?" Eugene asked, looking at the students in the background with a frown. The last thing those four needed was to feel like they were a goldfish in a bowl.

"The obvious choice," someone called out but no one could tell who it was.

"Way to be dramatic, mom," Jane muttered.

"E, I don't get why you pretend to be dumb," Mal sighed. "Besides, the only boys in that classroom were Jay and Carlos. If you're trying to impress them, your standards have seriously dropped."

"Hey!"

"So you want to date Evie?" Mal asked, raising an eyebrow at Carlos. That lasted for a minute before the daughter of Maleficent burst out laughing. "Sorry Carlos. I couldn't resist."

"You're evil, you know that!"

"Thank you!"

Ben couldn't help but beam at the thought of his girlfriend being the one to constantly get the questions right. Not that he had any doubt that Mal was good, but it was nice to have some visual proof in case guys like Chad confronted her and her friends again.

"Looks like she's not entirely bad, mother," Aurora whispered to her mom.

"Hmph, a leopard doesn't change their spots!" Queen Leah whispered back and Aurora had to hold back an eye roll. Maybe it would be a good idea if Audrey skipped her two week vacation to her grandparents house?

"Seriously? Carving out a baby's heart would be fun for you?"

"No, because I would never do anything with a baby," Mal shot back. "Be a copy of my mother? I don't think so."

"You have a gift," Rapunzel told the purple haired girl with a smile. She didn't want to say anything, in fear it would embarrass Mal, but she couldn't resist. "I used to love painting the walls of my tower but they were never as detailed as that. Especially after only seeing it for a few minutes."

"I'm sorry," Mal said, sitting up a little. "Did you say you painted the walls of your tower?"

"That's right," Rapunzel nodded.

"I believe you once said 'you should really think about taking this talent off the locker and into art class'" Mal said, turning to Ben. "Didn't you, Bennyboo?"

Ben coughed, not realizing Rapunzel had done what so many had judged Mal for.

"Oh look, Jane's old hair," Audrey muttered to a group of her friends. "God it was hideous."

Sadly, for her, it wasn't as quiet as she thought.

"Give me your phone," Aurora said and the whole room went silent. Audrey's eyes were as wide as saucers.

"What?"

"You heard your mother," Phillip nodded as Aurora stood up and plucked Audrey's phone out of her hand.

"You can have this back when I believe you deserve it," Aurora said, "and no, mother, you won't plead her case."

Audrey couldn't help but be silent—she had never been punished like that before and now it had happened twice.

"I'm sorry, guys," Jane told the four of them.

"Nah, we figured we'd get that," Carlos shrugged. "Honestly, we just thought people would hide it from Fairy Godmother."

"Oh, it's not because you guys were villains. I'm terrified of the popular students," Jane said, causing Mal and Evie to frown.

"Jane, you're the headmistress's daughter," Evie told her. "No one would..."

"E, let's just watch. Besides, we know someone who would. Someone who just had her phone taken away." Mal cut her friend off. Despite having used Jane to get access to the wand, Mal had a small soft spot in her heart for the girl. If Audrey did anything other than mock Jane for her looks, she was going to pay.

"Can't get anything past Mal," Jay said with a smirk.

"Yes, because now she knows who they are," Meg said, rolling her eyes.

Fairy Godmother frowned at her daughter's behavior. She hadn't realized how timid Jane had been.

"I smell a plot," Chad muttered.

"I was serious that time," Evie said with a frown. "But mother had warned me that no one liked a smart girl—especially boys."

"Wouldn't boys here like a girl who was the top of her Goodness class though?" Mal asked and couldn't help but chuckle as Evie flushed red.

"Evie, if I may offer a bit of advice?" Rapunzel said. "Screw anyone who says you need to be anything other than yourself."

Evie nodded, the flush still heavy on her cheeks.

"Maybe I should have come up with a different example," Fairy Godmother admitted, giving a sheepish chuckle. "Evie, I'm sorry if you felt singled out."

"It's alright," Evie said with a smile. "But thank you Fairy Godmother."

"Mal, why didn't you answer?" Aurora asked, causing Mal to freeze for a split second. It was the first time Aurora had addressed her at all and Mal was surprised by the lack of hostility in her voice.

"I was tired from the activities the night before, and I wanted to give someone else a chance to answer," Mal told her.

Rodger chuckled and noted that Carlos seemed to lack a malicious bone in his body. He figured his wife was going to ask about summer vacation at some point so he made a mental note to let Anita know that he was on board.

"They're like brothers," Tiana said with a small smile, leaning against Naveen and rubbing her pregnant stomach. Her two sons, Travis and Nero, behaved similarly and she knew the behavior would only grow once little Tommy grew old enough.

"Good idea," Julia said, looking over to her mother. "The classroom is not the best place for that sort of activity."

"Unless it's gym class," Jane told her, thinking about how Tarzan would react with those four and if they would get to see a class with him.

"Whoo! Coach!" Taylor, Julia's older brother, cheered at the sight of the man who he considered a second father.

"Oh no!" Carlos groaned, fighting the urge to put his head in his hands.

"Poor Carlos," Evie whispered to Mal, bitting back a chuckle.

"He's got Jay to look out for him, though," Mal whispered back. "Jay's aggressive but he'd look out for Carlos."

I stand mistaken, Mal thought, her eyes growing wide at Carlos pleading with Jay. What was Fairy Godmother thinking? Carlos was the smallest boy on that field, he could get killed!

"Oh dear!" Anita gasped, looking over at Carlos.

"I'm sure he's fine," Rodger rubbed his wife's shoulder but also looked over at the young boy. Taking the chance to throw caution to the wind, he leaned over and whispered in his wife's ear. "I'm sure a summer of running around with our pups would help to build some muscle."

Anita whipped her head back toward him so quickly Rodger thought she had snapped her neck.

"Rodger, are you sure?" Anita whispered. "I know how you feel about Cruella."

"Carlos is clearly not his mother's son," Rodger whispered back. "The last thing he needs is to be thrown back to the Isle when school lets out."

Anita gave her husband a quick sideways hug before turning back to the spectacle before them.

"Nice one," Emir said with a chuckle.

"Brute strength wins every time on the Isle," Jay told him. "It's why Gaston's son stays around Uma and Harry. He has the muscle even if he doesn't have the brains."

"Harry?"

"Hook's son," Carlos added.

Aladdin couldn't help but smile at the scene, especially upon seeing how happy his own son was for Jay. Emir seemed to enjoy being around Jafar's son, and other than the stealing and the aggressive nature, Jay seemed to be a pleasant boy.

Now he'd just have to clear it with Jasmine before approaching Belle about where Jay would be spending the summer.

"I've never played an instrument," Carlos said. "There was an old piano we found when I was six—I liked pressing the keys but Uma's gang took it and turned it into seating for her mom's restaurant."

"Thanks Ben," Mal said, turning to her boyfriend.

"For what?" Ben asked, looking confused. He would have done it for anybody on the team who was struggling. Mal didn't respond but turned back to the screen.

A few kids chuckled as "I'm Rotten to the Core" played when Jay walked off.

"I can't wait to see what the next scene has!" Young Tanner O'Malley called out with a smile.

"Tanner," Thomas O'Malley warned. "Inside voice."

"He's just excited," Duchess told him. "I am too. Part of me wonders if Edgar has any family on the Isle."

"Didn't we mail him to Timbuktu?" Thomas asked.

"I'm sure he found a way back," Duchess said, brushing a bit of her platinum blonde hair out of her eyes. A wave of the Blue Fairy's wand held back any future comments from Thomas.
