When they finally reached the kitchen Mal just started quickly looking around for food to eat, but she found that there was nothing already premade. "Ugh there is no food! Now what are we supposed to do," Mal whined out as it seemed that her glamour was even weaker at night which Evie knew was going to be important to remember.

      Evie just laughed as she walked over to the pantry and pulled out some ingredients. "Mal there is food we just have to make it on our own," Evie told her daughter and she couldn't help, but smile as she realized that this was one of the things she had always wanted to do with her daughter.

       She would have preferred to do it with her daughter when she was little like she was supposed to be, but this was still a bonding moment and she would take it for now. Mal just looked at Evie like she was crazy. "What! But we can't make food!" Mal screamed out and Evie just laughed again as she continued to grab things.

         "Well you may not be able to make food, but I can. Your gra... I mean my mom she taught me how to cook and I'm actually pretty good at it," Evie told her baby and she was really hoping that Mal wouldn't notice her slip up as she had almost called her mom Mal's grandma which was the truth, but Mal didn't know that.

           Mal just looked at Evie in suspicion as Evie had been acting weird again. Every once in a while Evie would say something completely weird and then she would quickly try to cover it up. Mal normally just let it go, but lately Evie's slip ups had been more and more suspicious and it wasn't just Evie. Carlos and Jay had been acting that way too lately.

            Mal knew she would need to investigate it, but she couldn't let the others know that she was on to whatever secret they were hiding from her. And it really didn't help that her own body was acting weird too.

            Mal was snapped out of her thoughts by Evie who had noticed that Mal seemed to be out of it. "Hey you okay?" Evie asked Mal who just immediately snapped out of it as she gave Evie a smile. "Yeah I'm fine. I was just thinking about how great it's going to be once we get that wand and take over the world!" Mal lied out knowing that would distract Evie from worrying about her.

            Evie just let out a fake smile as that sounded horrible to her and she honestly didn't want that at all. All she wanted was to be a normal teen well not a normal teen as most teens didn't have a baby to raise, but a teen that didn't have to worry about pleasing evil villains is what she would love to be. She also just wants to have a family and friends and she just wants to go to school and be a regular girl.

            However the universe has other plans for her. "You're right it's going to be so amazing!" Evie told Mal as she lied through her teeth. Mal just sighed as she had been secretly hoping that Evie would slip up with something suspicious again, but unfortunately she didn't.

             Before Mal could say something more her stomach began to growl reminding her of her hunger. "It sure is, but Evie we got off topic again! And I'm even more hungry now! Let me know when you're done," Mal told Evie, making Evie laugh as she looked at Mal.

             "And where exactly are you going," Evie playfully asked Mal who just gave Evie a cute smile. "I want to see if that red monster show is on again!" Mal told Evie and Evie had to hold back a laugh as she loved seeing the little glimpses of her daughter and she found it adorable how excited Mal was to watch the baby show again, but Evie also knew that Mal didn't know just how much of a baby show that was.

              "Mal you have to help me! Besides we have school soon and we have to at least pretend like we care about it. You can watch that red monster show later. Now come on help me or you're not getting any," Evie told Mal as she didn't want Mal watching Tv as Tv was bad for babies, making Mal groan as she didn't want to help and she wanted to watch Sesame street.

               "Ugh that's not fair! I'm too hungry to do that! And it sounds boring!" Mal whined out and Evie just sighed as she began to mix in ingredients and as soon as Mal saw what Evie was doing she stopped complaining as she looked at it in amazement.

                 "I take that back! I want to help! Can I crack that white circle thingy!" Mal screamed out excitedly making Evie laugh as she looked at Mal. "You mean the egg? Yeah sure come here let me show you how to do it," Evie told her daughter who just smiled as she picked up an egg.

                  "Okay great now gently hit the middle on the bowl and when it's cracked you just carefully open it up and the inside into the bowl now you try," Evie told Mal who just nodded as she grabbed an egg and began to hit it on the bowl, but she ended up not being able to do it right and she got yoke all over her.

                   "I messed it up!" Mal screamed out as the glamour was barely even working at night. Evie just smiled a little as she grabbed a washcloth. "It's okay it's not easy to crack an egg. Just wash yourself up with this and how about you pour the flour instead," Evie told Mal who just nodded as she washed herself off.

                     "Okay but what is flour?" Mal asked Evie who just laughed as she opened the bag of flour. "This is flour now just..." Evie was interrupted as Mal grabbed the flour and immediately began to throw some up in the air getting it all over the place including on both of them.

                       "Wee! This stuff is fun to play with! Oh look at you! You look so funny! You're covered in this stuff!" Mal screamed out making Evie laugh as she looked at Mal. "Yeah well you should see yourself. You're covered in more flour than I am! Boop!" Evie playfully told Mal as she bopped Mal's nose with flour making Mal laugh more as for some reason she didn't feel angry or disgusted by the normally disgusting act of affection. And instead for some reason she loved it and it made her feel happy, but she didn't get why that was.

                           It was a different feeling that she was getting. It was the same feeling that she would get whenever her "mom" would have her very very very rare moments of decency as a mother and she wasn't yelling at her or hurting her. It was a very rare time, but when it did happen Mal would feel so happy and it was the same feeling she was getting now with Evie except this was stronger and more real.

                           Mal was pretty sure it was probably just her delirious and tired mind and that she was just not herself right now as she was acting a lot different too. Mal just shook away her thoughts as she continued to "help" Evie which was mainly just Mal playing around with stuff and making a mess as she couldn't help herself and Evie didn't even care as she actually liked that because it was more proof that she hadn't completely lost her baby.

                           Finally after about another hour or two they finished making their snack as they ate it and then headed back to their dorm completely covered from head to toe in flour and other ingredients. "That was actually really fun! I'm glad that you made me help you E!" Mal told Evie, making her smile a little as she loved hearing that her daughter had fun being with her, but she really wished that she still had her baby girl back.

                        It was like she was losing her baby before she could even really get to know her and that just hurt so much, but at least she knew that her daughter still enjoyed hanging out with her which helped a little.

                         "Yeah it was! But now we should probably get cleaned up because we have school soon and today starts our first full day in Auradon," Evie told Mal who just groaned as she looked at Evie. "Ugh don't remind me! At least we can dig around for more information though since we couldn't get that stupid wand yet!" Mal told Evie and Evie just sighed as she had to hold herself back from scolding Mal.

                      "Yeah I know! Anyway I'm going to change now and then you're next!" Evie told Mal in her ditzy voice as she grabbed an outfit and headed to the bathroom to change. Once Evie left Mal quickly ran over to grab the remote, so she could watch that show she loved, but as she was doing that she spotted Evie's mirror and for some reason she was feeling connected to it which was weird as it was a stronger connection than what she was getting with her "mom's" spellbook. 

                         Mal just carefully reached over and picked it up and the mirror immediately began to turn on causing Mal to jump back in shock as she wasn't expecting the mirror to turn on. From what she had learned from her "mom" and from Evie herself the mirror only worked for Evie and Evie's mom.

                          "Okay this is creepy! There is definitely something weird going on!" Mal told herself out loud, but she heard the sound of Evie coming out of the bathroom and she quickly put the mirror back as she sat down on her bed and quickly grabbed her sketchbook pretending to sketch.

                             "Hey Mal it's your turn! You look off are you okay," Evie asked Mal in concern as Mal looked really out of it which was worrying to her, but Mal just smiled as she got up and grabbed an outfit.

                             "Yeah I'm fine! I was just planning again! I heard our first class is with Fairy Godmother! Hopefully we can get some more information from her," Mal told Evie as she couldn't let Evie know that she was onto whatever secret she and the others were hiding, but she now knew that there was definitely something going on and she is determined to figuring it out, but first she needs to focus on the wand as her "mom" is counting on that. And that means keeping suspensions off of herself and going along with what is asked of her like getting ready and going to the stupid prissy princess school.

                           "Okay good! Now let's go before we're late on our first day that will look really bad and we have to fit in here or people will suspect stuff," Evie told Mal as she put her ditzy act back on and Mal just smiled as she nodded and they both left the dorm meeting up with the boys as they all four walked to their first class in Auradon Prep with Evie and Carlos secretly holding hands the whole time, but Mal and Jay were too focused on the wand and other things to notice.
