2 the museum

"Yeah yeah never mind that, let's go check out our rooms." Carlos says leading them up the stairs to their left.

"Hold up, first your rooms are the other way. And I am supposed to give you your list of classes." Scott tells them, making them turn around and follow him down the corridor he pointed at as he hands them the classes list.

"Oh, remedial goodness 1o1. Let me guess, new class?" Mal asks Scott.

"Yep. It's a pain in my ass already." Scott replies sourly.

"what do you mean your ass, I assume we're the only ones required to take it." Evie questions.

"Not quite, yours truly is included in the class roster." Scott replies before he stops at a door, opening it shortly, letting the teens peek inside. "This will be your room Mal and Evie, now follow me." Scott then tells them shutting the door and leads them further down the hall, making a turn left before he opens the third door on the right.

"This is your room Carlos and Jay." He says letting them peek inside again before throwing it shut and leads them further around, showing them the bathrooms, kitchen and general area for the classrooms before leading them back to corridor with the boys room stopping at the one at the very end, putting his hand on the door telling them "This is the last stop at our little tour, this is my room. You may come over if you need something, but I advise you to knock, I'm not always this friendly."

"friendly he says." Carlos whispers to Jay amused, making the taller teen smirk at the remark but they stop snickering seeing Scott stare at them, showing no emotion on his face.

"Well since we're done. I think we're gonna head out. See you in class I suppose." Mal tells him, leading her friends down the hall and they go to their respective rooms.

Mal and Evie get settled in their room with Evie being delighted by the cozy atmosphere but Mal isn't a big fan of it and immediately shuts the drapes.

After looking around a bit Mal and Evie go over to the boys' room later that evening, seeing Carlos play something on a TV while Jay is taking out his latest scores, mainly being mobile phones and a laptop.

"Jay come check this thing out man, it's awesome." Carlos tells his best friend, handing him the controls for the game.

Jay then starts to use the controls to fight off the enemy in the game when Mal shouts "Guys, do I have to remind you what we're here for?"

"Fairy Godmother blablabla, magic wand blablabla." Jay says while playing the game.

"This is our one chance to prove ourselves to our parents. To prove that we're evil and vicious and ruthless and cruel." Mal tells them, making them pay attention to her.

"Evie, mirror me." Mal then says making the bluenette come over to the table in the middle of the boys' room and takes out her small mirror. "Mirror mirror in my hand, where does Fairy Godmothers wand stand?" She asks it, making it show her the wand.

"Zoom out." Carlos says, which Evie does but the mirror shows her the whole earth.

"closer." Evie orders a few times until it's close enough to see something.

"Stop. It's at a museum. Any idea where that is?" Mal says stopping Evie from zooming in again.

"Two point three miles from here." Carlos tells them after typing something into the laptop Jay stole.

The group of four then sneak out of the school and hurry towards the museum but unknown to them they were being followed by Scott, who woke up having heard the boys room door get shut when Mal and Evie first arrived and listened in on their conversation using his enhanced beast abilities, having gained a large amount of control over it due to countless hours of practice.

Arriving at the museum Evie leads them towards where her mirror tells her to go to get to the wand, but they stop at the entrance door, able to see a nightguard looking at multiple mirrors while some historic pieces are on display behind him, amongst them Maleficents' spinning wheel.

Mal quickly gets a spell from the book, making the man poke his finger on the needle on the wheel and causing him to doze off almost immediately. The teens then sneak into the museum, running through the museum in search of the wand. Arriving at the villains' section they see figurines of their parents on display, scaring them. They continue to search for the wand while Mal stays in the room thinking if they're doing the right thing in helping their parents when she imagines what it'd be like to have her mother's respect.

Scott who followed them inside hears her heartbeat pick up and feels both fear as well as hope rolling off her in waves.

After Mal spaced off for a while Evie goes back to fetch her, leading her along with her other two friends to the wand.

They see the wand floating in midair, protected by a barrier and Jay thinks that he can get it anyways despite Mal warning him not to do it and goes underneath the railing surrounding the wand and reaches up towards it only to be repelled and for a siren to start raring loudly.

Scott choses to reveal his presence now that their adventure got cut short and yells "follow me doofuses." From across the room.

"Scott? The hell are you doing here?" Mal asks surprised.

"I followed you when I saw you sneak out, just be glad I did. Now come on!" Scott tells them loudly, so they can hear him over the siren.

The four teens follow Scott, who leads them to a back exit saying, "Get out of here, I'll handle this." And shuts the door behind them, making Mal stop to look at him confused, seeing him run back further into the museum. "What is he doing?" She asks herself.

"Come on." Evie shouts taking Mal's hand, tugging her along as they follow their male friends back to the school.

Meanwhile Scott who runs back to the main entrance goes over to the alarm system which is still going off and transforms his fingernail into a claw, cutting the siren.

The phone suddenly starts to ring and he answers.

"Yeah, sorry this was a security test, looks like everything is working fine." Scott tells whoever is on the other side of the line.

A minute later the night guard arrives back at the entrance, rushing back after the siren stopped.

"What are you doing here?" He asks shining his flashlight at Scott.

"Testing your security, looks like everything is working OK other for the fact that you were sleeping on your job." Scott says accusingly.

"Who are you?" The nightguard asks wearily.

"I'm Scott, brother of Prince Ben." Scott tells him.

"Oh, so why did you come to test the security system?" The guard asks rudely, knowing that Scott isn't really counted as royalty anymore.

"I'm responsible for my brother's protection and with the villain's kid's in Auradon I wanted to check on things before it is too late." Scott lies, heading out of the building.

"So just stay awake when you're on duty and we won't have a problem in the future." Scott tells him as he makes his way back to the school.

Once he's back at Auradon prep he goes to the girls' room, knocking on the door.

Mal opens the door a small gap, peeking through but it gets pushed open completely before she can even make out that it was Scott knocking on their door because of the dark hallway.

"Hey. What do you think you're doing?" Mal protests as Scott invites himself in, flopping down on an armchair in the room.

"I should be the one asking you that." Scott replies annoyed before he takes in the girls' attire, consisting of a too large shirt and small shorts blue and purple colored respectively.

"It's rude to stare." Evie says going to her bed, slipping under the covers a little embarrassed.

Mal on the other hand just sits down on the edge of her bed asking, "What are you doing here?"

"I just wanted to give you some advice before you take off again and I'm not there to help you guys that time. Someone trying to steal Fairy Godmothers wand on the first day you arrive is a little suspicious don't you think?" Scott tells her.

"I know you want to impress your parents, but next time think it through instead of risking your whole future." Scott says sounding worried as he pokes the side of Mal's head, now sitting next to her.

"Why did you help us escape?" Mal questions unsure of what to make of the boy since he didn't really seem to care too much about the coming to Auradon but then helps them out when they needed it.

"You may not have figured out who I am yet, but you guys are pretty much the only people other than Ben I could call a close friend." Scott replies honestly.

"So telling us that you've had it as bad as we did wasn't just a fluke to play with us?" Mal asks.

"No, it wasn't. I told you when you arrived here that I was disowned by King Beast, but I never told you why did I?" Scott asks, getting a shake 'no' from the girls in return.

"Well When Queen Belle was pregnant, she got cursed and by chance the curse had no effect on her and instead affected me, empowering the Beastly side I inherited from my father. Because of this everyone thinks of me as a dangerous, violent beast and would rather see me on the Isle with you guys than in Auradon, the only reason I'm still here is because I need to watch over Ben." Scott informs them saddened.

"Sorry." Evie said from her bed and Mal looks at him intently, looking for any sign of deception but instead sees his eyes shine a dull red, making her gasp and turn her eyes a glowing green.

Scott sees that he's having and effect on her and decides to leave before she figures out who he is and may look at him the same way his fellow students do.

"Well, it's been a long day. I hope you listen to my advice and pass it on to Carlos and Jay." Scott says sliding his hand through his hair before leaving them alone in their room and Mal sees a scar at the very top of his forehead, making her have the same feeling of deja-vu she had earlier.

"We need to figure out how he knows us." Mal tells her best friend, getting in her bed herself.

"What's the problem? He helped us. He could have just as easily ratted us out." Evie asks her, hearing the urgency in her voice.

"I don't know there is something about him, like I know him from long ago but just can't put it together. We need to look through his room tomorrow." Mal tells her decidedly.

|the next day |

Mal, Evie, Carlos, Jay and Scott are sitting in the class remedial goodness 1o1.

The four Islanders are sitting on two tables next to each other, with Carlos and Evie somewhat paying attention while Jay is bored out of his mind and Mal is drawing, answering the occasional question, just picking the most boring answer.

While they are sitting there with Fairy Godmother herself teaching the class Scott is lying with his face buried in his arms on the table in front of Mal and Evie.

During their class Jane, the headmistress's daughter goes over to her mother, squealing as she walks past the 5 teens and hands her mother a clipboard with some documents for her to sign for the coronation party. When Mal sees the shy girl, she gets the idea to approach her and try to get her to fetch her mother's wand.

After Jane left Fairy Godmother asks the class another question, only for Jay to answer it while holding Carlos in a chokehold because he was also trying to answer.

Upon seeing this the Fairy Godmother decides to send them to the tourney field.

Fairy Godmother decides to wake Scott by dropping a book loudly on his table, making him turn his head to glance at her asking "What now?" making the remaining teens look at the exchange stunned since Fairy Godmother is supposed to be the most powerful person in Auradon.

"You will be going with them to the tourney field." She instructs Scott while pointing at the two boys to his right.

"Alright, finally something fun to do." Scott agrees with a big grin and a excited glint in his eyes. Making Mal look at him surprised, seeing him actually excited about something for the first time.

"Do you want to come?" Scott asks the girls.

"No, we'll pass maybe some other time." Mal replies despite actually being interested in what the game is which manages to gain Scott's attention.

"Alright then, come on boys I'll show you the locker room." Scott says leading them to the locker room after they collected their sports clothes.

"Mal, don't you want to see what this tourney is?" Evie asks her best friend surprised since she notices Mal being interested in Scott.

"Yes, but we still need to look through Scott's room and this might be the only chance we get on short notice." Mal explains as they collect their stuff and follow the boys at a distance. Once they see the boys leave towards the sports field they quickly go over to Scott's door, which is one of the few ones actually locked but Mal uses her book of spells to unlock it easily.

The two girls then enter the room, closing the door behind them. Looking around the room they see a large bed, a sink with a mirror over it, a nightstand, a trainings dummy which looks a little worse for wear and a table with some books and papers stacked carelessly on top of it.

"Well this is a spartanic looking room, even on the Isle we have more décor." Evie says unimpressed by Scott's furniture choices.

"Don't mind his lack of interior design and focus on finding something that could tell us how he gets to the Isle or how he knows us." Mal reminds her friend of why they broke in.

"Sorry." Evie replies and starts to look around with Mal.

About 5 minutes later they combed through the room and the only things out of place they found were a leather armband and what looks like a keychain of a crudely made purple dragon.

"Huh? I think I lost this like over 8 years ago." Mal says looking at the keychain Evie found hidden under Scott's mattress.

"So he really was on the Isle." Evie says.

"Looks like, do you have any idea what this is supposed to mean?" Mal asks Evie showing her the leather armband she found on his table trying to guess what the design on it is.

"I don't know, maybe some kind of emblem?" Evie suggests.

"Maybe." Mal murmurs thoughtfully, tracing along the design with her finger when it briefly glows, and a large cloak and a face mask pop out of the armband.

"No way. This is…" Evie says speechless.

"Wolf." Mal agrees, putting the items on his table while Evie puts the keychain back where it was, not noticing one of her hairs getting caught in a sharp edge of the keychain.

"Let's get out of here." Evie says sounding slightly frightened.

"Yeah." Mal agrees. She too isn't sure if finding out that Scott is their companion Wolf is a good thing. They hardly know anything about him but accepted him since he helped them more than once, but they were still weary of him after they invited him to a party all of them along with their families had once and Maleficent, the undoubtedly most fearsome person on the Isle actually admitted defeat at a staring contest, like the one Mal had the other day with her mother.

Maleficent told her to stay close to him after this event but not to trust him since he is a danger to their position as the Isle's strongest villains.

The two girls head to their room hurriedly to talk in private.

"What are we going to do now?" Evie asks Mal worried.

"I don't know but it's not like we can put everything back the way it was without knowing how his armband works." Mal replies pacing up and down in their room.

"Oh, we are so screwed." Evie sighs flopping down on her bed.

"How I'm going to miss you comfortable bed." She says hugging her pillow.

"Don't throw in the hat yet, there is still the chance that he doesn't care, I mean he wanted us to find out by ourselves. But we should be ready to get out of here quickly just in case." Mal tells her, packing her most important items in her bag with Evie doing the same.

Meanwhile on the tourney field

"Jay, Ben offense. Chad, Scott defense." The coach instructs the boys as they walk onto the field.

"Hey you, new boy put your helmet on and get out of the kill zone." The coach yells to Carlos, who follows the instructions confused and moves over to where the coach pointed.

When the game starts Ben gets the ball and passes it Jay, who then runs straight through his opposing team, knocking over anyone getting close to him and dodging the incoming foam missiles while carrying the ball forwards, bouncing it into the air off his paddle skillfully.

"Jay wait up, it's me Carlos." Carlos pleads scared by his friends' aggressive play once he stands only a few feet away from him.

Jay shoots the ball at Carlos's shield, making it sail through the air and jumps after it over the now cowering Carlos, preparing to shoot it at the goal until he sees an opposing player rush at him from his side. Getting cocky Jay faces him head on, only recognizing the player as Scott moments before they clash. Jay puts all he has into his tackle as Scott stands his ground, headed right at Jay with no hesitation and knocks him off to the side once they clash. Scott then picks up the ball, passing it to a team mate who just got up from Jay's assault and runs towards the goal once he received the ball.

"Good effort." Scott tells Jay impressed that he didn't try to dodge him as he offers him his hand to pull him up. Jay accepts the help and gets back on his feet only to hear the coach blow his whistle to signal that Scott's team scored a goal.

"You two get over here." The coach yells towards Scott and Jay after blowing in his whistle again.

"What do you call that? I call that raw talent. Come find me later and I'll show you something you haven't seen before. It's called a rulebook. Welcome to the team son." The coach tells Jay pointing to the field where most players are still lying on the ground and pats his shoulder impressed.

"Looks like you have a trainings partner who may even be able to beat you for once." Coach says turning to Scott, being one of the very few people holding no ill intentions towards the teen, seeing his animal side as an asset rather than dangerous.

"Unlikely but I'll push him, so he'll be a force to be reckoned with." Scott replies confidently.

"Well then get to it, we don't have that much time left before our next game." The coach says getting the teams to continue practice.

A few hours later Ben, Scott, Audrey and Chad come back from the locker rooms having changed and see Mal standing at her locker with Evie. They notice that Mal painted a logo saying Long Live Evil on her locker.

"Give me and my brother a second, I'll see you later." Ben tells Chad and Audrey with them giving him a brief look before leaving the brothers. The two go over to Mal and Evie, who is leaving because she sees Scott head towards them.

"Hey, so how is your first day of school?" Ben asks her.

"Super." Mal replies sarcastically, glancing at Scott worriedly every so often, causing him to look back at her confused what brought on the sudden change in character.

"You know you should really think about taking this talent off the locker and into art class. I could sign you up." Ben offers.

"Way to take all the fun out of it." She says.

"Ben, give us a minute, won't you?" Scott asks his brother getting tired of Mal's glances.

"Sure. Feel free to tell me if you guys need anything." Ben says bidding his goodbye to the purple haired girl.

"What's the matter? I mean last time you saw me you weren't exactly excited to see me but I didn't think that I scared you." Scott asks her.

"I'd rather not say. You'll see soon anyways and to be honest I'm scared of your reaction." Mal tells him when she sees Jane walk past them, looking at them scared.

"I have something to do anyways." Mal adds, following the girl who just passed them into the girls' bathroom not giving Scott any chance to ask what she's talking about.

"Is it me or are they getting weirder ever since they got off the Isle?" Scott asks himself and starts to make his way back to his room. Upon opening he sees the cloak over his table, smirking to himself mumbling "I see, so she found out." He then lifts up his mattress and checks for the keychain he found after he first rescued Mal from the three men trying to throw her off a cliff.

"So she found this too and apparently Evie knows too, no wonder they didn't come to watch the game. Looks like things will become more interesting sooner than I thought." Scott says seeing the blue hair caught on the keychain.

Meanwhile Mal having followed Jane to the bathroom uses her book of spells to style Jane's hair and the girl wants Mal to make her nose prettier as well but Mal tells her that she can't do everything with just the book but that if they had Fairy Godmothers wand something like that won't be a problem. Jane thinks about it and decides to ask her mother to make her prettier, promising Mal that she can watch when Fairy Godmother uses the wand.

Later that day Ben meets up with Carlos to help him understand the game while Scott teaches Jay on the other side of the field.

However, Ben's lesson gets cut short when Carlos runs away scared out of his mind as dude, a dog and the campus mascot chases him wanting to play.

Ben runs after them, finding Carlos clinging to a tree freaking out because of Dude but Ben manages to calm him down and Carlos grows to like the dog.

"Is he OK?" Scott asks seeing his brother return by himself from the woods next to the field.

"Yes, he was just scared by Dude seeing as it's his first time seeing and actual dog." Ben informs him and Jay.

While Jay and Scott train Evie flirts with Chad Charming but he only uses her to make her do his homework. Doug, having followed Evie tells her that he also has an interest in the Fairy Godmother's wand, having overheard her talking to chad about it and suggests that they go to the coronation together since the wand will be used in it.

The next day Mal and Evie meet up with Jay and Carlos in the boys' room.

"What's the matter Mal?" Carlos asks seeing Mal deep in thought.

"It's about Scott, he's Wolf. From the Isle." Mal informs the two boys with Evie nodding her head looking worried.

"How do you know that?" Carlos asks thinking she's playing a trick on him.

"Evie and I looked through his room and found Wolf's clothes." Mal replies.

"And who says that he's the only one wearing a cloak and a mask?" Carlos asks still doubtful.

"There was something else, he has a keychain I made but lost when I was 6." Mal tells them.

"Oh." Carlos says believing the girls.

"What does that mean for us and our plan?" Jay questions Mal.

"I don't know yet. But if he wants to, he can prevent us from succeeding." Mal says pacing up and down.

"By the way I found out that they use the wand in the coronation and that we all get to go." Evie tells them.

"And you didn't tell me that earlier like when I was changing the hair of what feels like every girl in school?" Mal asks annoyed at her best friend.

"Sorry, I forgot." Evie replies sheepishly.

Suddenly they hear a knock on the door and open it to see Ben standing there.

"Hey Mal. We didn't get to talk much up until now and I just wanted to see if there are any questions or if there is anything you needed." Ben says.

"Not that I know of. OH wait! Is it true that we all get to be at your coronation?" Mal asks him.

"Yeah the whole school goes." Ben replies with a smile.

"Do you think there is a chance we get to stand in the front row close to Fairy Godmother just, so we can soak in that goodness?" Mal asks.

"I wish you could, upfront it's supposed to be just me, my parents, my brother and our girlfriends." Ben informs her.

"A shame. But on another note Scott has a girlfriend?" Mal asks sounding disappointed for some reason she can't place herself.

"No, it's just tradition, if he were to get one by then she would also stand in the front row." Ben replies a smirk playing on his lips, knowing that Scott has had a crush on Mal for a while now but didn't think it'd be fair to try dating her since he lived in Auradon while she was trapped in the Isle.

"OK thanks, bye." Mal says closing the door.

Ben goes down the corridor, heading for his brothers' room. Opening it once he reaches it saying, "You won't believe what just happened."

"What is it?" Scott asks interested.

"Mal just asked if you have a girlfriend after I told her about our girlfriends being there at the ceremony. I think you may actually have a shot with her:" Ben tells him before he leaves again, leaving Scott on his own, wondering if Mal really is interested in him romantically or if the vk's are planning something for the coronation.
