And as you can guess Chad lost his girlfriend and Harry and Audrey would disappear a lot.

He tried confronting me about it and said he would help me get back into a relationship with Harry if I helped him get Audrey back. I had fun laughing in his face and walking away.

A few days later I realized that we needed to have a little more action in our group to get the wand so I called a meeting in Genevieve and my room.

"Alright, is everyone here? Genevieve, Lou, Tony, Gil, Ha- where's Harry?"

There was a knock at the door and Lou answered it. It was Harry.

"There he is. You don't need to make an excuse, I know perfectly well where you were. Anyway, let's begin- wait a sec where's Ned?" I continued.

Tony shrugged. "He didn't come back to the apartment after classes."

"Huh, well I'll tell him later. Alright, I called this meeting because- what is it, Lou?"

Lou had stuck his hand the air.

"We should come up with a name for ourselves. Y'know to define ourselves from the other VKs."

"Seconded," Genevieve said.

I laughed. "Passed! Any suggestions?"

"What about Ziniba's team?" Tony suggested.

"No, that's too obvious," Genevieve said.

"The pirates?" Harry fingered his hook.

"Don't know if Ned would like that. He doesn't like the sea and neither do I," I said.

"You don't have to be on the sea to be a pirate. And Ned's not here," Gil piped in.

Genevieve shook her head. "If Ziniba doesn't like it then that's not a good idea."

"She's not our leader," Harry shot at her.

"All in favor of Ziniba being our leader say Aye!" Lou excitedly exclaimed.

Lou, Genevieve, Tony, and I all said aye and another aye came from the doorway where Ned had just entered.

"Where have you been, Ned?"

"Sorry. I was working on something."

"We're in the middle of a vote," Lou said, "All opposed say Nay!"

Harry said nay.

"Gil, why haven't you said anything?" Tony said nudging him.

"What? Oh! Sorry, I wasn't paying attention," Gil said looking up.

"With with four ayes, one nay, and one distracted it passes!" I smirked.

"How do you not pay attention for five minutes?" Ned asked sitting beside me.

Gil just shrugged.

"Anyway, that was a little off track. Any more suggestions for the team name?" Lou said.

"Ziniba's team?" Ned suggested.

"Already overruled," Harry grumbled.

"The VKs," Tony suggested.

"Already taken by Mal's group. Besides not all of us are villian kids," Lou pointed out.

"Then how about the Rebel Villian Kids?" Ned asked.

"Seconded!" Tony said.

"All in favor!" I stood.

"Aye!"

"Passed! Alright, anyway- what is it now, Lou?"

"Can I be the secretary?"

"Why do we need a secretary?"

"Y'know, to take minutes."

"Why not?"

"Thanks!"

"Okay, so we need to focus on the reason I called this meeting. The wand."

"Parent day is coming up. I bet-" Lou began.

"No good," Harry said, "That was the downfall of both Mal and Uma."

"True," I said.

"Wait!" Lou exclaimed "I've got it! Just leave it to me!"

And with that, he ran out the door.

"What was that about?" Genevieve asked.

"I don't know but until we do know I suggest we all go to bed and call another meeting when we know. Until then stay low key," I said.

****

"Any idea what Lou's up to?" Ned asked.

"No, but I trust him."

"Well he's a servant here at Auradon so what if-"

"Ned, I know a weakling when I see one."

We were going to lunch with all the Rebel VKs and hasn't seen Lou all day.

"Oh look there's Tony. Um, what's on your jacket Ned?"

Ned glanced down at his jacket sleeve and yelped then handed me how food tray and grabbed a napkin and began rubbing the stain on his sleeve furiously.

"Oh curses. That liquid is worst than I thought. Maybe if I-" he walked away muttering and running his sleeve.

Hm, wonder what he's up to.

"Hey!" Tony called walking over to me.

"Hi. Um, do you know what's up with Ned?" I asked.

Tony widened his eyes."You mean you don't know?"

"Know what?" I growled.

Tony rubbed his eyes and sighed."Chemistry class has happened."

"Chemistry?"

"Yup. He's been mixing and muttering and keeping me up all night."

I frowned. Had Ned turned into a nerd on me?

"Have you seen Lou?"

As if on cue Lou appeared out of nowhere and grabbed Tony and my arms and began practically dragged us behind a building making us drop our lunch trays. His eyes were bright and excited and a bit... mischevious.

"What is it?" I asked, seeing it was important.

Lou held up a pair of keys.

"What's that too?" Tony asked.

"The forcefield to fairy godmother's wand."

"There's a key to the forcefield?" I asked.

"Of course! How else would we get the wand out?" Lou asked.

"Well I don't know about you but every time I've been to the exhibit I haven't seen a keyhole," Tony pointed out.

Lou looked at him quizzically. "Of course not. Locks can be picked. The lock is under the exhibit. Only people who work at Auradon have access to the room it's in.

I smiled.

"Perfect. Then tonight we attack."Lou shook his head."Not tonight."

"Why?"

"It's the queens birthday. How did you not know this?"

I shrugged. "Why do I care? She's not going to be queen for long."

"LOU!"

We all jumped in surprise and turned to see Ludwig quickly striding towards us.

"Ludwig! Buddy how's it-" Lou began, trying to put the keys out of site.

"Keys. Now."

Ludwig held out his hand and glared.

"But-"

"You're not on duty. Only people on duty are allowed to have the keys."

Lou shrugged and handed him the keys.

"Lou, I would like a word with you. Alone," Ludwig side glanced at Tony and me.

"Why? I want to hang with my friends for a bit."

Ludwig's face turned a lovely color of red.

"Your shift is starting in ten minutes anyway and you need to get in your uniform," he breathed angrily.

I never thought I'd see someone like Ludwig look like his head was about to blow off over a thing like this.

Lou looked at me as if asking permission.

I shrugged then leaned forward and whispered in his ear "I'm not your brain. I shouldn't have to help you make choices."

He nodded then followed Ludwig out of the alley.

"Queen's birthday, huh?" I said to Tony.

"Are you going to try to take the wand in front of everyone?" he asked.

I frowned and turned the matter over in my brain than shook my head.

"That was Mal and Uma's downfall. Not tonight but soon. Very soon."
