CHAPTER 21
"Deborah?" Ben asks as he pages his assistant.
"Yes, Your Majesty?" Deborah replies.
"Can you ask Lumiere to call me regarding Cotillion?" Ben asks her.
"Yes, sir," Deborah replies.
"Thank you," Ben says before going back to his work.
"Ben?" Mal asks as she knocks on the door and opens the door.
"Mal!" Ben says as he stands up. "Come on in." Mal closed the door behind herself.
"Madi has gone back to the Isle," Mal says before walking over and giving Ben the note that Madi left. Ben starts looking at the note. "Ben..." Mal then holds out his ring that he had given Madi. Ben takes the ring before reading the note.
"This is my fault. This is my fault," Ben says as he finishes the note. "I... I blew it. She'd been under so much pressure lately, and instead of being understanding, I just went all Beast on her. I have to go there and apologize. I have to go there and... and beg her to come back."
"Ben, you'll never find her," Mal tells him.
"I..." Ben tries before turning to look out the window.
"You need to know the Isle and how it works and..." Mal starts to explain before realizing what had to be done. "You have to take me with you."
"Yes!" Ben says as he turns to face her. "Uh, are...are you sure?"
"Of course. She's my sister," Mal says in agreement. "And we'll bring Evie and the boys, too, because there's safety in numbers, and none of us is really too popular over there right now."
"Thank you," Ben says as he looks at Mal.
"But let's get two things straight," Mal says. "You have to promise me that I won't get stuck there again."
"I promise," Ben tells her.
"And there's no way you're going looking like that," Mal tells him before they go to get the boys and Ben a change of clothes from Evie.
Madi arrives at Lady Tremaine's Curl Up & Dye before remembering that it doesn't open until midnight. She sneaks in anyways. Her eyes land on Dizzy, who is sweeping as she dances around.
"Madi!" Dizzy exclaims as she catches sight of her before running over and hugging her. "Is Evie back, too?"
"As if," Madi says as she pops a piece of gum into her mouth. "I, um, forgot that the place don't open till midnight. Place looks good." Dizzy laughs as she looks around. "So what is your deal? Has your grandmother given you any customers yet?"
"Ah, just a witch here and there. Mostly, it's a lot of scrubbing and scouring and sweeping. Lots and lots of sweeping," Dizzy explains.
"Sounds like the old Cinderella treatment," Madi says.
"Yeah, she's gone from Wicked Stepmother to Wicked Grandmother," Dizzy says causing Madi to smirk.
"That's not really much of a switch. Hey, Dizzy, you used to do Evie, right?" Madi asks her.
"Yeah. I thought of the little braids," Dizzy answers with a smile.
"You have any ideas for me?" Madi asks her with a smile. Dizzy squeals before looking at her hair.
"The washed-out blonde with blue tips? The best of no worlds. You can't see where your face ends and your hair begins!" Dizzy accesses before pulling Madi into a chair and grabbing her hand. "Oh, what is this, 'Bored to Death Pink'? Hmm. How far can I go?"
"The works? I mean, whatever makes me feel like me, but, you know... way worse," Madi answers her with a smirk.
"Yay!" Dizzy says before grabbing a huge pair of scissors. Dizzy starts by cutting some of Madi's hair off then dying Madi's hair blue and purple. She then rolls it up on cans, before sticking Madi's hair under a dryer. Dizzy paints Madi's nails dark blue before letting out an excited squeal. Dizzy takes her hair out of the cans before spinning her around to reveal her new look.
"Hey! There I am," Madi says as she looks in the busted mirror.
"Voila!" Dizzy exclaims causing Madi to smile.
"Voila," Madi says before handing Dizzy some cash.
"For me?" Dizzy asks.
"Yeah. You earned it," Madi answers her with a smile. Dizzy then walks over to the register as Harry Hook enters the room.
"Fork it over, you runt," Harry says not noticing Madi. Harry taps the desk with his hook causing the change to move in the register. "Now the rest of it." Dizzy gives him the money. "Hmm. Thank you. Mm-hmm."
"Still running errands for Uma, or do you actually get to keep what you steal?" Madi asks as Harry turns to leave.
"Well, well, well. What a nice surprise," Harry says as he turns to face Madi.
"Hi, Harry," Madi says uninterested as she looks at her nails.
"Just wait until Uma hears you're back," Harry says as he walks over to Madi. "She's never gonna give you back your old territory."
"Oh, well, that's okay. Because I will be taking it," Madi explains to Harry with a smirk.
"I could hurt you," Harry says as he moves some of Madi's hair with his hook. Madi quickly grabs his arm before sticking her gum on the tip of his hook.
"Not without her permission, I bet," Madi says with a smirk. Harry puts the gum in his mouth before swiping things off of the desk. Harry bows sarcastically to Madi before leaving.
