Chapter Text
(this is short, only because Rotten to the Core was originally at the beginning but I'm too lazy to write more)
The group finished dancing, out of breath, Mal at the front. She blew a strand of hair out of her face and turned to a child being pulled by its mother and stole the kid’s lollipop. Maleficent’s goons came up behind her and turned back, and people running away was her signal to turn around.
“Hi, Mother.” She said with a smirk. Maleficent burst through the pair of ‘guards’ dramatically, spreading her arms.
“Stealing candy, Mal? Pathetic.” Maleficent let her annoyance be known in her voice.
Mal’s smirk vanished, “It was from a baby,” she said, hoping to redeem herself.
Agatha felt bad for her. She quickly shook the thought off, oh God, I sound Good, ew, she thought. Maleficent didn’t seem to take satisfaction in Mal’s answer, snatching the candy from her hand, spitting on it, and giving it to one of her goons, muttering something like “Give it back to the dreadful creature.” Which they did… unfortunately. The kid started coughing as soon as he took a lick, and his mother ran away, fearing someone would become irritated with the sound.
Agatha rolled her eyes. Honestly, why are people so scared of us? She noticed Maleficent looking at her and flinched, immediately rebuking the thought.
She warily walked over to her mother, trying to maintain confidence in her step, while she could hear her heart beating in her chest loudly. Shit. Agatha you’re not scared, enough, you idiot. She thought to herself, and it kind of worked, for about 10 seconds, when Maleficent started speaking. “You five little shits, have been selected to go to Auradon. God knows why you were chosen, but that's that.” Mal made a noise of protest, and Agatha gasped. Auradon? No!
“Mom, what?! Auradon? You’re joking! It’s full of…of prissy pink princesses and awful princes, you’re kidding right!?” She half yelled, faintly hearing Sophie and Evie gushing about ‘perfect princes’. She turned around and glared at them. They immediately stopped, staring sheepishly back.
Maleficent started cackling madly. Mal and Agatha shared a glance. What was she doing? “Oh, you are so stupid! You’re actually going to get off your lazy arses for once and are going to do something there, not just be there for the sake of it! Why would you think I’d send you there without a plan involved?” She said between cackles.
Of course, there was some evil scheme involved, when was there not with her?
Carlos suddenly spoke up, fear clear in his voice, something he’d regret. “I read somewhere that there are dogs in Auradon… and mom says they’re rabid pack animals that eat boys who… don’t behave…” He stammered, trailing off. Jay barked from behind him, making Carlos jump and hit his arm. Agatha smirked.
“Oh, you wuss. Dogs are part of life. Get over it.” Maleficent quipped, annoyance dripping off of her words.
Carlos looked guilty and stood back as they all started walking back home. Agatha tried to stay with him until Maleficent called for her to keep up. She gave him an apologetic look, and ran ahead.
