3 the date

After Ben left Mal turned to her friends, telling them "Alright I got a plan, but it might be risky."

"Let's hear it." Jay says.

"Like you heard, Ben says that the girlfriends get to stand up front. Meaning one of us has to become their girlfriend." Mal says motioning to herself and Evie.

"We should decide whose first, shouldn't we?" Carlos asks.

"He's got a point. I don't know about Scott, if he somehow finds out I don't want to be the one who fooled him." Evie says fearfully.

"On the other hand, we would have to get Ben to give up Audrey and while she is an annoyance I'm not sure how the rest of the students would react." Mal tells them.

"Makes sense, so Scott would be the better choice, but who?" Jay agrees looking at the two girls.

"I'll do it." Mal says rather quickly.

"You sure, with Wolf you never know it could be dangerous." Carlos reminds her, having seen how Wolf gets when he's pissed.

"Yes, I can handle it." Mal replies faking confidence, while actually praying that she'll get out of this in one piece and picks up her spell book browsing for the right spell. Finding a recipe for cookies, which are supposed to make whoever eats it fall in love with the person offering it to them.

Later that day the vk's are in one of the school's kitchens with Dude sitting on a blanket in a bowl, getting patted by Carlos.

Alright, it says that we still need one tear. Too bad we rarely cry." Mal tells them reading from the spell book.

"Cut up some onions." Carlos suggests holding out an onion.

"No, it says that we need one tear of human sadness. I don't think that a tear brought forth by the smell of Onions would work." Mal replies when one of the girls Mal used the spell for beautiful hair on enters the kitchen.

"Mal I was looking for you, all the girls want you to change their hair. Midnight snack huh? What are you guys making?" She asks them, looking into the bowl standing in front of Mal and dipping her finger in, tasting the dough.

"Feel anything?" Evie asks her as the vk's get panicked.

"Could use some chips." The girl tells them thinking it over for a second. She goes over to a cupboard, getting a cup of chocolate chips.

"And those are?" Mal asks not knowing the ingredient.

"Chocolate chips, the most important ingredient. Wait, did your mom never make you guys chocolate chip cookies?" She asks putting some into the dough.

"Like when you're sad and they're fresh from the oven with a big glass of milk and she just makes you laugh and puts everything into perspective." She tells them, making the vk's look sullenly.

"Why are you all looking at me like that?" She asks.

"It's just different where we're from." Mal tells her.

"Yeah I know I just thought even villains love their kids?" She says but realizes that this is not the case, seeing the groups expression and takes Mal's hand saying, "How awful." While a tear rolls down her cheek.

Mal quickly collects the tear, flicking it into the dough and then send her away, bidding her a good night and the vk's then finish baking the cookie.

The next day during break Mal is standing at her locker, waving to the girls who are thankful for her changing their hair when Jay approaches her asking "Hey do you feel kinda weird about this? I mean it's not that bad here."

"Are you insane, long live evil. You're mean. You're awful, you`re bad news. Now snap out of it." Mal reminds him.

"Thanks, Mal I needed that." Jay agrees and goes over to the girls flirting with them."

At the same time a few lockers to their right Ben is talking with Audrey while Scott looks over some ideas Ben collected on how to make the school friendlier for the Isle children.

"Yeah Ben, this is crap." Scott tells his brother, waving the paper in front of him. Stopping Ben's discussion with his girlfriend, who was complaining that because Mal made the other girls beautiful no one will pay attention to her anymore.

"Sorry Audrey give me a sec, I'll be right back with you OK?" Ben says turning to his brother who is leaning against the locker next to his.

"What do you mean crap? I worked hard on that." Ben says disappointed.

"I know man but seriously I think you should let Carlos do this, he's got pretty good ideas and actually knows what the Isle is about." Scott replies.

"OK, maybe you're right. Give him the job and have him give me a list of what he comes up with." Ben instructs.

"As you wish." Scott replies sarcastically, ripping up the list, handing it back to Ben and walks off headed in Mal's direction. When he sees the purple haired girl, he decides now is as good a time as any to clear the air.

"Hey." He announces himself, standing behind Mal, who's rummaging through her locker.

"Oh, hey." Mal greets him nervously.

"Look, I know that you found out that I'm Wolf. And I'm guessing the rest of the vk's now by now too." Scott says.

"Yep." Mal replies popping the p still scared.

"Look, I'm not mad that you went through my room. The only thing I want is that you don't tell anyone else from the Isle, especially your parents." Scott tells her.

"Why not?" Mal asks not getting the reason for his hidden identity.

"If anyone knew I'm the Kings firstborn, abandoned or not they'll try to capture me and trade me in for their freedom, which will cause a lot of trouble for both sides." Scott tells her.

"Alright, I get it. Anyways I still feel guilty and want to apologize, here I made this cookie for you." Mal says offering him the cookie she takes from a zip bag.

"You didn't have to." Scott says surprised, taking the cookie.

"Go on, eat it. I really felt guilty about breaking into your room and gave my best on the cookie." Mal tells him.

"Alright then, thanks." Scott thanks her, thinking something is up but eating the cookie in two bites non-the less, making Mal look at him nervously. Scotts eyes light up bright red and he feels a familiar sensation overcoming him, but having had a previous encounter with the spell Mal used Ben uses his hidden power to break barriers, which as he found out is actually a dispersion towards almost all magic to break the love spells hold on him. 'That sly minx. I guess she's trying to get close to me to steal the wand at the coronation as my girlfriend.' Scott deduces quickly.

'Maybe I should be thankful for that time Maleficent used the spell on me to make me rough up some of her competition.' Scott adds as an afterthought.

"How are you feeling?" Jay asks Scott, standing behind him now.

"Pretty good. Hey Mal have you figured out yet why I have your keychain?" Scott asks her, pretending to be affected by the spell and flirts with her while thinking that this could actually be a good way to ask her out and like Ben said earlier with both of them in Auradon there is no real reason not to do it.

"Uhm no, let's talk about this some more later. You have a game to get to if I'm not mistaken." Mal tells him while the other vk's arrive and smile relieved, thinking the cookie worked.

"Oh right, are you going to come and watch me?" Scott asks her.

"Sure." Mal replies playing along, feeling a little bad that she's just using Scott, whose alter ego she actually liked for a while now, but having met his real identity she's not sure it would work out. With him being related to the king and all.

At the end of the game, where the Auradon team has managed to keep an even score with the opposing team both Jay and Scott get put back on the field, replacing Ben and another kid. Making most of the crowd cheer for Jay while some boo because Scott is traded in for Ben.

At the kickoff the opposing team gets the ball and Jay rushes at the player holding the ball, only for him to pass to his teammate, who then gets knocked over by Chad. Jay quickly collects the ball and runs it to the kill zone, dodging the two rockets shot at him and passing the ball to Chad who is running just in front of him.

Chad receives the ball but then gets blocked by two players, making him fly back and lose the ball to them.

One of the players starts to tun back to the kill zone, when Scott comes running at him, tackling him violently and getting control of the ball. He then runs the other direction headed to the opposing teams' goal when two player try to block him, using the same tactic they used against Chad but Scott leaps to the side quickly, before tackling the two guys from the side, while passing to Jay simultaneously and giving him a clear field against the goalie. Jay gets the ball and runs at the goal, jumping up and then slams the ball down in the corner of the goal with his paddle. The crowd starts to cheer loudly as the horn sound signaling the end of the game plays, making the Auradon team win.

To celebrate the team lifts up Jay, giving him the trophy and causing the crowd to go wild and run over to their school's team to celebrate their victory.

Scott removes himself from the crowd and sees Mal and Evie sitting on the bleachers almost by themselves now. Scott goes over to them asking Evie "Hey Eve can you give us a moment?"

"Sure." Evie replies with a grin, happy for her friend even if Scotts feelings come from the spell.

"So, I wanted to ask you, do you want to go to the coronation with me?" Scott asks her.

"Yes." Mal says pretending to think over it.

Later that day Evie gets in trouble with the chemistry teacher for having cheated during his class with her mirror, but Doug saves her, by suggesting that she writes the test they're about to do while the teacher has the mirror.

After getting a B- on the test Evie finds Doug during lunchbreak to thank him for his help.

"I've been looking for you literally everywhere." Mal says annoyed walking up to her blue haired friend.

"What's wrong?" Evie asks.

"Scott just asked me out on, a Date." Mal tells her with a scoff.

"We can handle this, you're looking a little pale and…" Evie tells her walking off with Mal towards their room where she helps the purple haired girl pick out an outfit and put on some makeup.

"OK. Easy on the blush, I don't want to scare him away. Not that I could." Mal tells Evie, looking nervous.

"Please. My mom taught me how to apply blush before I could talk." Evie brags.

"My mom never was really big on makeup tips and I never had a sister." Mal says.

"Now you do and we're gonna need all the family we can get if we can't pull this off. My mother isn't something you can laugh at if she doesn't get her way." Evie tells her putting some lip-gloss on Mal.

"Are you afraid of her?" Mal asks.

"Sometimes, are you afraid of your mom?" Evie answers.

"I just really want her to be proud of me. She gets so angry with me when I disappoint her. And yeah she's my mom so I know she loves me in her own way…" Mal says thoughtfully and Evie leads her over to the mirror in their room, showing her what she looks like now.

"I look not hideous." Mal says looking at her reflection, giggling quietly.

"Not even close." Evie tells her, hugging her best friend from behind.

Soon after they can hear a knock on the door and Mal opens it, seeing Scott waiting for her.

"Wow. You really didn't have to dress up for this." Scott tells her looking at her impressed.

"What you don't like it?" Mal teases.

"No, no you look stunning. I just meant that I wanted to take you somewhere in the woods and I can't promise that your clothes won't get a little dirty." Scott replies.

"Alright, that's what I wanted to hear." Mal tells, smiling bright.

"Good, come on then. Let me warn you though there will be two surprises and I'm not so sure how you'll feel about them." Scott tells her.

"OK?" Mal replies uncertainly.

"Don't worry, it's nothing bad. It's just that I'm actually worried what you'll think of me afterwards." Scott tells her, sounding actually scared for the first time she has known him.

"Come on. Your first surprise is awaiting." Scott says playfully, hoping to dissolve the tension and offers her his hand.

Mal accepts his hand and he leads her to a quiet and empty field on top of a cliff, overlooking the woods below.

"Wow this is quite the sight. Is this my first surprise?" Mal asks curiously.

"Not quiet. But I'm going to show you it now." Scott says shyly and loosens his tie, taking off his hoodie.

"Wait what are you doing?" Mal asks.

"Huh? Oh, no sorry for the confusion. This is all I'll be taking off, for now." Scott tells her adding the last part teasingly, making Mal blush herself.

"OK. Now stay calm. You're in no danger OK?" Scott tells Mal who nods scared of what's to come.

Scott drops down on all fours and Mal can hear something that sounds like bones creaking coming form him as Scott suddenly gets bigger and bigger with fur growing around his body and he takes the form of a giant wolf, about the size of a horse but longer and broader than one. [AN: he looks like a Wolf form Warcraft the Orcs ride on.]

"What the hell!" Mal shouts fearfully, getting some distance between them by running back towards the castle.

"Mal, wait. It's still me." She hears the wolf say in Scotts voice.

"Are you serious?" Mal asks stopping but still looks at him scared.

"Yeah, I mean my father could transform into a man-Lion I only took it a bit further since my beast side is stronger than his." Scott explains.

"OK, let's say I trust you despite all of this, what was the point of showing me this?" Mal says waving her hand motioning to Scott's big wolf look.

"I want you to know the real me. And since I wanted to take you into the woods, I thought instead of walking I could take you for a ride." Scott tells her embarrassed, not that she could tell in his current wolf form.

"Seriously? Only you would come up with such a crazy idea." Mal says shaking her head giggling softly.

"Does that mean you'll come?" Scott asks hopefully.

"Yes, I agreed to go on a date with you. I should have known what I'm in for." Mal tells him amused.

"Great. Hop on then." Scott says lying down and letting Mal climb on top of his back, between his shoulders, putting her arms around his neck to hold onto him.

"You secure up there?" Scott asks her.

"Yes. I think." Mal replies unsure of how else she could hold onto him and slightly embarrassed by her position.

"OK, hold on tight." Scott says and runs towards the cliff, making Mal scream out in fear as he jumps off it, landing safely somewhere in the forest.

Scott continues to run through the forest for maybe 5 minutes until they reach a lake with a pavilion build on a rock platform in the middle of it.

"We're here." Scott tells her and lies down so she can get off.

"Wasn't that bad was it?" Scott asks her once he's back to human and gets back up standing a few inches above Mal.

"Are you kidding? You almost gave me a heart attack." Mal yells punching him while looking at him annoyedly.

"Oh, come on, you enjoyed it." Scott says laughing, as he plucks the few stray leaves having gotten into Mal's hair during her ride.

"I guess the second half was OK but jumping off a cliff is not something I'm looking forwards to doing again. What was the point of that anyways? We could have just as easily started at the bottom of the mountain." Mal complains.

"I thought it might remind you of how we first met." Scott says.

"What's got a cliff to do with how we… Wait my keychain don't tell me you're the…" Mal says figuring out that Scott was the man beast which saved her from getting thrown of a cliff many years ago.

"Yes. I was the kid who killed those men." Scott confirms.

"And why would you want to remind me of that, that is still the most scared I've ever been." Mal asks pissed off.

"It was really special to me that I finally was able to help someone using the curse laid on me." Scott replies downcast, not having anticipated this reaction from Mal.

"Yeah well it wasn't special for me to see what now turns out to be you tear three people to shreds." Mal complains tearing up at remembering what happened.

"Sorry, I didn't know how else to protect you back then and I thought you knew that it was me. I often showed you my eyes and yours responded. I thought that meant you feel the same way about me that I feel towards you." Scott says.

"And what would that be? If we're confessing things here, I guess it's my turn. You only think you love me because the cookie you ate was part of a spell." Mal tells him still pissed at finding out that Scott/Wolf was the one who brutally murdered those three men when they were still kids.

"I know about the cookie. Your mother actually used one on me before to control me into taking out some of her more troublesome competition." Scott informs her.

"What?" Mal shouts surprised.

"Yes, but as it turns out I can break almost any spell." Scott replies.

"So this last day you've only been playing with me?" Mal shouts angrily.

"No. I have been in love with you for a long time, but I didn't think that it would be fair to ask you out because you wouldn't be able to leave the Isle while I could. I thought that maybe now I'd have a chance, guess I was wrong." Scott tells her hurt by her accusation, making Mal pause.

"Look Scott I didn't mean to be so hard on you. I just I've never gotten over seeing those men be killed. I know they wanted to hurt me and deserved it, it's just the way you did it." Mal says feeling somewhat bad for shouting at him.

"Mal, I was 6. Do you think I wanted to rescue you that way? My instinct took over and I had no control back then. I only thought about protecting you and gave in to my animal side." Scott explains.

"I guess I can understand. I once turned into a dragon and if my mother hadn't been there to stop me, I don't know who I could have gotten hurt." Mal tells him.

"Mal I'm sorry that how we met scared you this much, but I don't regret one part of it. If I hadn't done what I did back then, then you wouldn't be alive anymore." Scott says hugging the girl to his chest, both having calmed down a bit after their emotional outbursts.

"I guess you did save my live and had no other choice." Mal says seeing what Scott means.

"Did you mean what you said just now?" Mal asks him after they hugged each other in silence for a while.

"That I love you?" Scott inquires.

"Yes." Mal replies blushing.

"I meant every word of it. What about you? Was all of this just you trying to get to be my girlfriend to be part of the coronation or do you actually feel something for me?" Scott asks her, looking deep into her green eyes.

"I …" Mal says nervously.

"It's OK. I understand that you don't feel the same and don't worry. I won't stop you from freeing your parents. I only want my brother to be kept out of this." Scott tells her when she is left speechless.

"Scott. I may have overexaggerated my feelings towards you when I thought you were under the influence of the cookie, but I do have romantic feelings for you. My mother just always told me to keep you at an arm's length because you're dangerous. But now I'm thinking that maybe dangerous isn't so bad." Mal tells him, taking his face in her smaller hands and pulling it down so she can look him in the eyes.

"Mal." Scott starts to say but gets cut of by Mal throwing her arms around him and kiss him hungrily.

The two of them continue to lock lips until they need to break apart to breathe.

"Wow." Mal says out of breath.

"Yeah, that was." Scott says and Mal finishes for him "intense."

"right." Scott agrees.

"So you really do want to go out with me?" Scott asks her.

"Yes silly, but I've never had a boyfriend so don't complain if I don't live up to your expectations." Mal tells him.

"I wouldn't dream of it." Scott replies amused, adding "btw you`re my first too." Seductively.

"So now that we've cleared the air and none of us has a reason to feel guilty anymore how about we continue the date you had planned." Mal suggests.

"Are you sure? I mean it was a little more emotional draining than I anticipated." Scott asks her concerned she's putting up a brave face.

"Yes, I'm sure. Now sweep me off my feet." Mal tells him jokingly but Scott just picks her up easily and carries her down towards the pavilion in a bridal carry making her laugh.

"here we are milady." Scott says jokingly, setting her down on the blanket he put there earlier that day along with some food.

"Well Mal, I thought that you would want to try some different tastes you can't get on the Isle. So dig in, I've prepared all this for you." Scott tells her motioning to the dishes of fruits, desserts and other things.

"Are you trying to get me fat?" Mal asks accusingly.

"You don't have to try everything today. I just thought you'd want to choose yourself." Scott laughs.

"OK then." Mal says and picks up a pie, eating it blissfully while Scott smiles at seeing her enjoy it.

"Hmmm. What?" Mal asks enjoying the taste but sees the amused look on Scott.

"You've got something right, here!" Scott says leaning closer pretending to want to wipe it off her face but instead pulls her in for a kiss. After a second to get over the surprise Mal responds to the kiss eagerly.

"If you're gonna do that every time maybe I should eat this meal like a pig." Mal says jokingly.

"No need to go that far. If you want to kiss me just do it." Scott replies with a grin and leans in locking lips with Mal again.

"Phew, I think we should stop now or you're gonna miss out on all the tasty treats I've prepared." Scott says with a smirk, making Mal smile and test some more foods.

"You know it's kind of ironic your mother is the queen of evil and my parents are the poster couple for goodness but if you'd look at us the roles are actually reversed." Scott says putting signaling quote marks when he says my parents and chuckling to himself.

"I guess you're right. Bad boy." Mal agrees a teasing smirk on her face.

A while later after Mal tried many of the dishes as the two talk and have the occasional kiss Scott tells her "OK. The next thing I've planned you might not enjoy too much at first but will love at the end." Scott tells her, making her blush a bright red.

"No, not that. Man, your mind gets dirty fast." Scott says laughing.

"Yeah well don't put things like that so unclear." Mal complains embarrassedly.

"I'll do my best and I find your naughty side very appealing by the way." Scott whispers in her ear making her push him away embarrassedly.

"OK, let's get back on topic. I thought I'd use the opportunity that we're at this beautiful lake to teach you how to swim, what do you say?" Scott suggests.

"I don't know. I'm not exactly keen on drowning today and I don't have anything to wear." Mal says.

"You won't drown. I'll be there for you and actually you do." Scott tells her, handing her a two-piece swimsuit.

Mal looks at him a little weirded out.

"Evie picked it out for you. If you don't like it go complain to her." Scott tells her holding up his hands defensively.

"Alright, I trust you, but are you sure we're gonna be safe?" Mal asks a concerned.

"How do you think I got to and off the Isle?" Scott asks her.

"With the limousine." Mal replies.

"Think about it, the bridge being opened so often would cause a riot and I had to keep my visits a secret since no one liked me beforehand." Scott tells her.

"Then what a boat?" Mal asks.

"I swam." Scott replies shaking his head.

"Seriously?" Mal asks not being able to tell if he's joking.

"Seriously, so don't worry I'll keep you safe." Scott tells her.

"Alright. I'm going to change then, don't peek." Mal says warning him and goes behind some bushes not far from the pavilion, changing into the bikini-like swimsuit.

"Evie!" Mal says angrily once she put it on and looks down on herself, seeing that the clothing reveals far too much.

"What's the matter, does it not fit?" Scott asks having heard her.

"That's not it, it's just embarrassing." Mal replies.

"come on it can't be that bad." Scott says and goes over to her, while she stands still feeling as though she's frozen in place.

Once Scott rounds the bush and is face to face with Mal dressed in a skimpy purple bikini and his cheeks become bright red. "OK you're right. This may be a bit much." Scott tells her turning his back to her, so he won't stare too much.

"Nothing we can do about it. I guess it's OK if it's only you who sees me like this." Mal says shyly, going over to her new boyfriend, locking her arm into one of his and takes him over to the pavilion, making Scott blush at the close contact while she's dressed in such a revealing swimsuit.

"So how do we do this?" Mal asks Scott.

"Right. I'll go in first, then you can slide into the water form the edge and I'll hold you OK?" Scott suggests.

"OK." Mal agrees nervously, this being the first contact with swimming she has.

Scott then gets into the water, dipping under for a bit before he reemerges right in front of her while she's sitting on the edge of the stone.

"Come on, I've got you." Scott tells her, taking one of her hands and looking her into her eyes to show her that she's safe.

Mal pushes off the stone and sinks into the water, fearfully clinging to Scott.

"Alright, we'll glide along a bit like this, so you can get used to the water." Scott says, slowly drifting through the water holding them afloat with his legs while he supports Mal with his hands, holding her up, close to the surface while she has her arms around his neck, looking directly at him, fear evident in her eyes.

"Relax. Nothing will happen." Scott tells her, pulling her closer to him and getting her to relax a bit.

After maybe 5 minutes of this Mal doesn't show much fear anymore and Scott leads them back over to the stone construct, getting a board from the edge and replaces himself with the board, still holding her up by her mid-section.

"Next, you'll try moving through the water by yourself OK?" Scott tells her, making her nod focused.

Scott then releases his hold on her and she starts to paddle using her feet like he showed her. This goes well for about 3 minutes until Mal's grasp on the board slips and she panics, flails around staying barely afloat until Scott closes the small distance between them, having swam alongside her and puts his arm around her, hugging her close to himself while he swims over to the shore. He quickly gets them out of the water, carrying the scared Mal over to their blankets, sitting her down on one and pulling another around her body.

"Shh. You're fine. You did very well for your first time." Scott tells her, rubbing her back supportively.

"I don't think I'll be able to do any more." Mal tells him scared.

"Don't worry. I'll teach you again only when you feel you're ready for it." Scott tells her, hugging her close to him, knowing how scary the water can be from when he learned and when he first came to the Isle by accident.

"I enjoyed it when you were still holding me though for what it's worth." Mal tells him.

"That's good. Do you want to head back or do you want to stay a while longer?" Scott asks.

"I think we should wait and let the sun dry us. It's so peaceful out here." Mal tells him and lies down on the blanket. He puts a blanket under himself and lies down next to Mal. The two teens lie in the sun for a while until they're dry.

"I guess we should get ready to head back right? The others might get worried." Mal tells him.

"You might be right. I hope you enjoyed today. I for one am glad that you know everything about me and accept me." Scott says.

"Me too." Mal agrees, hugging him and gives him a gentle kiss. When they break for air Scott gets something from his basket and goes back over to her, standing behind her and puts a necklace around her, made from the dragon keychain of hers he kept all these years.

"I think this should go back to it's rightful owner." Scott says giving her a kiss on her nose as she looks at the necklace hanging around her neck happily.

"I love it. And don't worry, today was perfect I really enjoyed myself." Mal says smiling brightly looking him over one last time before they get dressed and thinks to herself that he looks very good and that she wouldn't mind seeing his abs and strong chest more often.

"Not as much as you though apparently." Mal says smirking devilishly at him, nodding her head towards his swim trunks, where a bulge is currently visible, straining against the material.

"It's all Evie's fault. Giving you such an attractive swimsuit to wear." Scott mumbles embarrassedly and wraps a towel around his hips.

"It's nice to know I have so much influence over you." Mal whispers into his ear, blowing on it seductively.

"If you want to leave here today, I'd suggest you stop this or I may not be able to control myself anymore." Scott replies, making his eyes glow red, conveying his lust for her and causing her eyes to glow bright green as she feels herself get aroused.

"I think you're right." Mal agrees and goes over to the bush where she changes, swaying her hips seductively as she walks there, making Scott look after her longingly.

Once the two of them are dressed and Scott got their things Mal comes out from behind the bush and the two smile at each other happily, almost laughing because of the effect they have on each other.

Scott then transforms into his wolf form again and Mal gets on him, holding the basket as he carries them back to school, turning back at a safe distance so he won't make the other students even more afraid of him than they are now.
