Chapter FIVE: Family Day
Alex went back to his dorm, and ran his hands across his face, and flopping onto his bed, letting out a groan. "Hey, how did it go?" Alex lifts his head up to see Ben walking into his chambers. Alex stayed quiet as he looked back up at the ceiling.
Ben looked at his older brother, letting out a sigh as he patted him on the shoulder. "You want some help settling stuff up for Family Day?" Ben asked his brother who nodded in respond.

Alex noticed that the VKs had arrived and were standing by the chocolate fountain. He was looking over at Evie who was holding onto Dude. She looked over at him and their eyes locked.
Ben headed over to his brother and their parents who had watched his performance.
"Good performance there bro," Alex patted Ben on his shoulder.
Their parents greet her and surprisingly supported Ben. Alex kept looking over at Evie, who was talking to Doug and holding Dude in her arms.
They all go into the gardens to play croquet, Alex was showing Jay and Carlos what to do while Evie was speaking to their mother, telling her about her designs.
"You!" They all turn around to see Queen Leah, standing next to Mal.
Alex and Ben both walk towards to them both. Ben quickly goes to Mal's side.
"Queen Leah, It's okay. Maleficent is still on the island. This is her daughter, Mal." Ben says as he held Mal's hand.
Alex steps forward and stood next to his brother, with Evie following his every move by her eyes.
"Don't you remember my proclamation to give the new generation a chance?" Alex asks Queen Leah, who looks over at Alex now.
"A chance to what, Alex? Destroy us? Come on. You remember, don't you? The poison apples. And the spells. Spells. My daughter... Was raised by fairies because of your mother's curse. So her first words, her first steps, I missed it all! You mustn't trust her." Queen Leah looks between the brothers and then at Beast and Belle.
"I'm so so..." Mal starts as she stepped forwards to Queen Leah but gets stopped by Chad Charming.
"Go away! Stay away from her!" Chad says as he looked at Mal then at Ben and Alex.
"Chad." Alex tries to warn Chad but he wasn't listening.
"Don't do this, Chad." Ben adds as he steps closer to Chad.
"What? They were raised by their parents, Ben." Chad looks disgusted as he looks again between the brothers.
"Ben. What do you think villains teach their kids? Huh? Kindness? Fair play? No way, okay? Uh-uh." He adds as points towards Mal.
"You stole another girl's boyfriend." He adds, Ben tries to say something but gets cut off before he could add anything on.
Chad moves onto the next person which was Jay.
"Oh. You enjoy hurting people." Chad looks at Jay and then at Evie.
"And you, you're nothing but a gold digger and a cheater." He continued talking and nods his head along. At the point Alex was at his boiling point and he had his fist clenched into a ball, then stepped forward.
"Alex." Ben tries to stop his brother but couldn't.
"Repeat what you just said." Alex gets close to Chad's face.
"I said she's a gold digger and a cheat." Chad repeats what he said confidently.
Alex throws a punch to Chad's jaw, making him stumble backwards. Chad comes back to Alex, pushing him and then punching him straight back.
Before anything could get out of hand, Ben and Jay both pull them away from each other, Evie pulls something out of her purse, and sprays something in Chad's face making him slump to the ground.
Alex and Ben both share a look before Mal grabs Evie's hand and the VK's quickly leaves the scene.
"I feared something like this would happen." Beast says as he stood next to Alex and Ben.
"Dad, this isn't their fault! Chad started it! I wasn't going to let him say those things to our friends!" Alex argued with his father, but Belle stops it. They both walk away.
Alex groans and he heads off to his dorm, pacing around in his dorm.
While Ben went to find the VK's at lunch, seeing them all at the table.
"Hey, guys. How is everyone? Yeah? Hey, listen. Forget about it. All right? It was nothing. Forget about it. Let it go. Tomorrow, after Alex's coronation, I promise everything will be okay.
I have to go. I'll see you guys later." Ben said as he was behind Mal, rubbing his hands up and down her arm, before he could walk away, Evie speaks up which made him turn around.
"Ben, where's Alex?" Evie asks as she looked up from her food tray after playing with it.
"He was finishing some stuff off for the coronation." Ben replied still having a smile on his face.
"I have to go and see Alex so I'll give him the message that you were looking for him." Ben continues and Evie nods as Ben walked away from the table.
"Listen, Evie, I wanna talk about earlier today. I just..." Doug walks over to the table.
"Doug!" Chad shouts over from the opposite table.
"It's my fault, Doug. I'm sorry." Evie looks at Doug.
"No, It's mine." Doug adds as he kept looking at Evie.
"Doug!" Chad shouts over again making Doug look at him.
"What?" He sighs as Chad motions for him to sit with them.
"Doug..." Evie says with a sad tone in her voice.
Alex was watching them, and he couldn't tell if Evie and Doug were a thing by the reaction of what Evie had with Doug and her being upset.
Alex thought to himself he's gonna let her get on with Doug.
Alex walks back to his chambers and Evie saw him leaving, the 4 VK's started walking back towards to building.
"Guys, give me a second okay." Evie looks at her 3 best friends before walking over to Alex.
Alex was in his chambers and his door was open and Evie knocks on it before entering the dorm.
"Hey, oh no your lip is busted." She quickly walks over to him, and places her hands on his face, she checks out his face.
"You didn't have to do what you did Alex.." she starts but Alex cuts her off.
"He was disrespecting my friends...he had it coming since I first met him Evie.." Alex takes her hands off his face, before getting up and walking further into his room.
"Alex, are you okay?" She looks at him confused and upset.
"You and Doug seem cosy..so I wish you guys nothing but the best..I need to get last measurements for my suit.." Alex replied as he had his back towards her, then he turns his head to her.
"Alex.." Evie steps closer to him, and he moves back.
"You should go..your friends are waiting for you.." he looks down and walks away.
Evie looks down and had some tears fall down her face, and she walks out of the dorm.
