“Lots. But, they usually have magic results. That one was supposed to teleport me home.”

Link wasn’t upset just yet. He’d figure this out one way or another.

"Oh! You have magical music! How delightful! Can you use it to clean the cafe?"

"ALLY!" she hissed loudly, angerly. "Magic, as you might recall, is against the law! Do not go getting him in trouble!"

"Oh, right. I do forget sometimes, between you and Mal and everyone."

"I can't help being what I am, and as for Mal... MAL! For once you actually had a good thought, Ally. Alright point ears, let's go." She turned and stalked out of the cafe. "And put that magic music away."

Link chuckled. "Aw, c'mon. How can magic be against the law? That's like outlawing walking. Or breathing."

He huffed a little at being called point ears, but, it was better than being called an Elf, or, goddesses forbid: fairy boy.

"It's an ocarina. Well....specifically, the Ocarina of Time. But, okay." He pocketed the blue woodwind and followed.

"Tell me about it," Jordan griped. "Come on. LEt's go find Mal."

"Oh goodie," Ally said gleefully. "Evie said she made a new dress for us. And it is always good to see what the Villian kids are up to."

"I suppose," she said leading them out.

“Villain kids?”

Link was puzzled, but, he followed obediently.

"Yeah, since magic is illegal, they're just about the only ones to go to when you need magic," Jordan said.

"And they are fun sometimes! You never know quite what they will do next," Ally said, walking with them.

“Oh. People....actually follow that law?”

Link couldn’t quite wrap his mind around that.

"As best we can," Jordan said. "We're all the descendants of heroes and princesses and sidekicks, after all. Villians break the laws and none of us want to be sent to the Isle."

“Uh. But who made that law in the first place? Seems like someone who doesn’t have your best interest at heart....”

"King Beast," Ally said.

Jordan shook her head. "I get where the law came from and all. I still think it is unfair and bull headed and wrong. But it is what it is. And we have been safe, for the most part." She shrugged.

“That’s crazy. No healing? Nothing?”

Link shook his head. “What about fairies?”

"The ones that have wings may still fly, but their magic is only when they get permission," Jordan saif with a shrug. "Don't know much, not one for Neverland, though dad travels all over. Only Fairy I know well is Fairy Godmother, and I know her a little too well for my tastes, if you get my drift."

The thought of fairies needing permission to do what was natural to them was too much.

“Need me to take out the Beast King?” Link’s expression was grim.

"Wh... what?" Jordan asked, stunned. "What? No. Of course not. Besides, Beast isn't king any more. He was when he made the law, but Ben is king now."

"Oh yes," Ally said. "IT was quite fun indeed. We got to watch a dragon turn into a harmless little lizard, she's rather cute, actually."

Jordan looked pained.

“But, why hasn’t he repealed that law?”

Link frowned. “Seriously. Do you need help?”

"Look, maybe you better just talk to Mal, and for our sake, the sooner the better."

"Oh I do so wish we were there already, I am getting my new shoes all soiled," Ally said.

The ground was perfectly clean, as were her shoes, and then the ground was perfectly pink carpet.

"ALLY!" Jordan snapped. "Why do you have my lamp with you?"

"Oh, I thought that it might get lonely in the tea shop all alone..."

"AHEM?" A girl asked, clearing her throat behind them. They were in a huge and VERY girly dorm room. There were two large four poster queen sized beds, huge windows with the frilly pink shades closed tight, two desks, a sewing machine set up on a long table, countless racks of clothing, and other knick knacks, most of which belonged to modern teens and might be recognized due to the various school storms.

There were also two teenaged girls.

One was in a deep blue dress that went well with her long blue hair, surprisingly. That hair had a little crown-let made of small braids with the rest left loose. She wore a necklace that was eye catching - and possibly magical - that was a bright red apple that caught the light, with a jaunty golden crown atop it. She also was well made up and in dark stockings and heels with nails painted blue and gold.

The other girl looked a little like trouble on its way to happen. She was in a leather jacket that was dyed purple and green, partially open over a black shirt that had some sort of purple dragon design on it. Her purple hair was pin straight and loose behind her. She wore tight purple and black leather pants that had smell metal studs at the knees and belt loops to match the black metal studded necklace she wore. Both girls wore fingerless gloves, but where the blue haired girl wore them like accessories, and dainty ones at that, this girl wore them as statements, purple leather statements with metal studs along the knuckles. Her shoes were purple and more like sneakers than heels. She had a black and purple bag slung over one shoulder and a can of spray paint in her hand.

"While it is nice of you to drop in and all, one generally knocks," the purple one said dryly. "And as eager as I am sure Evie is to hear about your new boyfriend, whichever one of you the transfer student is dating, if you'll excuse me, I have a date of my own. With a bit of wall in the chem lab that is just itching for a little flavor."

"And that," Jordan said, "Would be Mal. Head of the VKs."

"And that's Evie," Ally put in, helpfully.

His eyes flickered between the new girls. “It’s nice to meet you. I’m Link.”

"Yeah?" Mal asked. "I guess this is the part where I'm supposed to have manners and say it is nice to meet you too, or something. But given you just barged into my room? Not so much." She tossed the can aside and dropped onto one of the beds. "But here, let me save some time and guess. Somehow Ally wished for a boyfriend, holding Jordan's lamp, and poof, here you are, now they need to get you back before FG finds out and gets her wand in a twist over accidental magic, so of course you came to a villian, because of course we don't care about the law. I got the nutshell?"

"Actually," Jordan started.

"He is a hero and wants to take down King Beast. Well, former, I suppose. Does that still count as regicide?"

Mal put a hand over her face. "I am certain I do not want to know. At all."

“Only because magic is outlawed and fairies aren’t allowed to live their lives freely. I mean, I took out an evil king before....”

She huffed a huge sigh. "Great. Look. No actually sit first. All of you sit or leave, not breaking my neck to talk to the lot of you."

"Mal, we don't have enough chairs," Evie said, inching closer to Link.

Mal rolled her eyes and then rolled herself. Across the bed to grab the book in her night-table draw. She sat up with it and flipped to a page, studied it a moment then looked at them. "Beware, forswear, give us just enough chairs." She gestured with her finger and a green glow followed, leaving a trace in the air before the chairs shook and duplicated. Soon there were enough chairs for all of them, if Mal stayed on her bed, plus three more. "Guess we'll be having company," she said after a quick count. Her eyes had gone green, bright livid green, while casting, but faded to normal after.

Link sat on a chair, watching Mal with curiosity.

"Okay, so guessing you're not from Auradon then? Or the Isle?" she asked, eyeing him.

"And would you like a new tunic?" Evie asked.

Mal rolled her eyes as the other girls settled into seats. But she didn't tell Evie to can it.

“Right. I’m from the kingdom of Hyrule. But, I was staying in another realm when I got summoned here.”

Link’s expression brightened. “What kind? “ He asked excitedly. “ I have a fireproof one and one that lets me breathe underwater.”

"Fireproof...." Evie gasped. "Oh Mal, think about it! Magical clothing! We can be rich!"

Mal laughed. "Slow down, girl, you already have enough to buy a castle, what more do you need?"

"I can buy a small starter castle, but with this? We could skip right to a proper castle, a hundred rooms, a grand ballroom..."

Mal laughed again, it was actually a friendly sound. "I'll think about it, okay, E? One crisis at a time." She shook her head and focused on Link. "Alright. So, short version. Once upon a time there were a few hundred Kingdoms or whatever, and big shocker, bad things happened. Seriously, you have royalty and paupers and somehow they expected nothing bad would happen? Come on."

"Not all the villian were paupers, and not all the heroes Royal," Evie pointed out.

"Fine, fair point," Mal said, She shifted position to lean on the bedpost, book in her lap. "There were all sorts of villains back then, really. There was a voodoo shadow man that turned people into animals when they bothered him, there was a trusted advisor to a sultan who tried to take over their kingdom with great magic. And of course there was the dark fairy dragon queen who just wanted to be included. Okay, sure, maybe she went a little overboard with the revenge."

"A little?" Evie asked.

"Try a lot," Jordan put in.

"Okay okay, mom had issues," she said with a laugh, flicking a glance to a small lizard in a tank beside her bed. "The point is things were in chaos. And then, after King Beast had his curse broken, he and Queen Belle decided to unite the kingdoms. They gathered all the villains from all the kingdoms. Even the dead ones, brought them back ti life and banished them to the Isle of the Lost, under a dome that sealed away all magic, and most technology. And then they gathered up the Kingdoms and united them. The United Kingdoms of Auradon. Well apparently tall and shaggy decided that magic made it too easy for new villains to rise."

Evie rolled her eyes. "Yes, Carlos' mother totally used magic," she said, dryly, then shook her head. "Mind, my mother was a Queen and she was banished too."

"Um, yeah," Jordan said. "An evil Queen."

"Yes yes," Evie said, waving that away.

"Anyway," Mal said, clearing her throat. "So the King put all magical artifacts in the museum, and outlawed all magic. And they did have peace more or less for twenty years. Boring peace, but peace. OR so the stories say."

"Boring is right," Jordan said, rolling her eyes. "Dad's a former Genie. Do you know how long it took him to get used to WALKING?"

Link laughed a little. "The Zora and Goron shopkeepers do make a lot of rupees off of Hylians buying those."

His expression sobered. "I imagine a lot of people have died without magic. I mean, I'd be dead six ways to Sunday if it weren't for magic, between healing fairies and potions, not to mention weapons, tunics, and spells...."

The hero chewed his lip. "I mean...sure, it's really important to be able to do things without magic. You gotta be able to think on your feet, and be able to think of all kinds of solutions."

Link shrugged. "But, sometimes, you just have to fire a light arrow at something. No getting around it."
