Wayo POV
Sometimes I think I may go just a little too far and today may be one of those days. However, I want to teach this witch a lesson. We know that Mr. Nasty is going to stay around but, in the hospital, to meet up and go have dinner with the corrupt board member which means that the witch, I guess I can use her name, Mandy, will be alone in the hotel. We aren't sure what she will do since we initially stunned her at the hospital. We do know that at some point she will probably come down to hotel's restaurant and eat. Ming's family has helped us by letting her know that her meal tonight is already paid for, so she can just go to the restaurant whenever she is ready. She thinks her daddy already instructed the staff to put it on the room bill, but it was actually Ming's family that is willing to let her have one meal free in order to have our plan work. The question is will she take the bait?
The whole gang is now at the restaurant and are placed strategically throughout the dining area. However, the three couples (ForthBeam, PhaYo and MingKit) are all sitting at the same table since Mandy has already seen all of our faces. We are all on a group chat with our phones as we wait.
Group Chat:
Ming: Do you think she'll come down to eat?
Pha: I hope so.
Park: If not, do we have a backup plan
Lam: Yeah, maybe do we send the ladies up to her as hotel staff
Montree: That won't work. We need her to be eyeing Ai'Pha for our plan to work
Jay: Yes, it must be down here
Zee: Plus, only one hotel staff would go with room service. If we all walk into her room, she will know something is up
I look up away from my phone at Forth and Ming and ask, "Maybe our backup plan is the engineers. Can Park, Lam and you two handle something quickly and on the fly?"
Ming looks a little confused. "I don't know. It probably depends on what you are wanting us to do."
Forth smiles confidently and says, "We'll try anything at least once."
At Forth's comment, Beam whips his head to scowl at him. "Really? You will try anything at least once. Ai'Kitty, did you hear that? Ai'Forth and N'Ming will try anything at least once."
Kit now has a stern look on his face and raises one eyebrow. Looking directly at Ming, Kit asks, "Anything? You'll do anything at least once."
Ming sensing the hidden meaning in his words, immediately begins to shake his hands and head and blurts out, "NO! P'Forth was speaking of himself only. I'm not part of that. I will help P'Yo and if it is something that I haven't done before, I will do it if it helps."
Kit quickly gets a crooked smile on his face and continues to poke at Ming. But before he can say anything, all of our phones are buzzing from notifications and without looking, I'm sure it is from the group chat.
Group chat:
Park: WHAT ARE YOU GUYS TALKING ABOUT?????
Lam: DON'T TALK OUTSIDE THE CHAT. WE DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU ARE SAYING.
Elephant: Ai'Bitches!!! Let us know what you are saying.
Montree: I want to know!!!
Jay: Me too!!!
Zee: Me three!!!
Nate: You guys can't forget to keep the rest of us informed. Now, no talking outside the group chat even if it is to the person sitting next to you.
Suthee: I agree.
Yo: Yes, mama Nate and daddy Suthee. 😊
Forth: P'Yo was just asking if the engineers could think of a backup plan quickly if we need to abort the restaurant plan
Ming: Then P'Forth opened his big mouth and said that we would try anything at least once which got me into trouble with my KitKat
Kit: Oh, you're still in trouble but not as much as before
Beam: Ai'Forth is still in big trouble and I'll have to test his statement later
Forth: What? Test? How?
Beam: You will find out later. Now, back to the mission
Yo: So should we think of a backup plan quickly just in case we need one
Pha: Maybe we just wait for another day
Yo: No! I want it to be final. Mandy loses. Yo wins.
Montree: So we are still a go for Beat the Mandy mission
Park: Is that what you named the mission? That is kind of boring.
Lam: Yeah, I thought you would have some great name. We already had a couple picked out
Montree: Really, what were they
Park: They were Band the Mandy and Crush Mandy like Candy
Jay: Those aren't too bad but they don't sound like us
Zee: I have to agree but I also agree that our code name for the mission is also lame. I wanted something with a little more pizzazz.
Elephant: I picked the code name this time and I like it. I'm not changing it either.
Nate: Code names aren't that important so let's get back to the task at hand
Suthee: Yes, let's keep focused on our target
Beam: Yes. Do we need to think of a backup plan?
Elephant: NO!!! WE DON'T!! Here she comes!
We all quickly go back to acting nonchalant but we all keep an eye on Mandy. The server takes her to the seat that we have all set and ready for this match and it is close but not too close to our table. This way she can have full view of Pha. I just hope she will act close to the way we guessed.
As soon as the waiter has Mandy seated, he comes our way and asks to take our order. He gives us the thumbs up and we proceed like nothing happened.
We ignore her, and the others are monitoring her behavor. It doesn't take long, and she sees Pha sitting just a little way away and she immediately gets excited until she sees me sitting next to Pha. That is our cue to start the plan.
Pha calmly gets up and goes to the restroom.
Wait. Wait. Yes! She takes the bait and she get up heading for the restrooms too. We don't want to alarm her or let her know that we are up to something, so we stay at our table and let the others begin.

Pha POV
I go to the restroom and I want to look back to see if she if following me, but I don't dare. I will find out through the group chat soon. I don't know why am so nervous. This isn't anything that I should be nervous about. I have rejected people before. Shoot, we handled Pring and she was viscious and she deserved it. Why is this different? Maybe because I already know that this won't stop her father. Her father is still going to try and force me to leave Yo which just makes me angry.
Beep.
I quickly look at the group chat and there it is. Nate messages that Mandy has followed me. I will wait a few minutes and then I will go out. This is it. The next battle in this war and I'm bounded and determined to win.
I take a deep breath trying to calm my nerves and when I'm a little more relaxed, I open the bathroom door and head out.
I keep my head down like I'm reading a message on my phone and I don't pay any attention to Mandy who is standing just a little bit down the hall. It doesn't take her anytime and she bolts over to me. She tries to get my attention by clearing her throat and then asks, "Excuse me, Phana."
I look up from my phone and I politely say, "Yes."
Mandy almost gushes from excitement but I don't want to be near her. I know what her father is going to do, and I can't stand it. Mandy tries to reach out and touch me as she mumbles, "Hmm, would you like...."
I take a step backwards and cut her off with my harsh words. "NO! I wouldn't like to do anything with you."
Oh, she's not going to go down that easy as I can tell those words stung but she's determined to try more. Still smiling at me, Mandy continues to reach for me and as she is about to say something else when Montree walks along side her and slaps her hand down.
I know the Fairies were upset when we told them that another witch was going to try and split Yo and I apart, but I think I see anger in Montree's eyes. Yes. That is anger. Oh, this isn't good. Drunk Fairies are bad but pissed off Fairies are really bad.
Montree glares directly into Mandy's eyes. Montree snarls, "Ai'Stupid bitch, Ai'Pha said no. Did your brain stop working or you just that dumb and don't know what stop means?"
Jay and Zee come along side and stop in front of Mandy next to Montree. Jay looks her all up and down, and he huffs, "Who does she think she is? Cutie P' is still cuter and more beautiful than her."
Zee snaps his finger back and forth in front of Mandy and taunts, "She done messed with the wrong person. No one tries to touch Ai'Pha." Zee then leans a little closer to Mandy and growls, "We won't let them. The last girl who tried, we put her in jail after we pulled her hair and slapped her."
Mandy's smile quickly changes, and I thought she would be afraid, but I think she is getting mad. Oh, is she so spoiled that she doesn't know how to handle someone talking to her like that? If so, she is going to go all evil spoiled rich girl on us.
Just as I was thinking evil spoiled rich girl, Mandy turns into one. Mandy snorts and flips her hair back out of her face. A look of disgust comes over her face and she unload, "Me a stupid bitch!! Like wrong!! At least I'm not some low life wanna be oh so great but can't because they are losers!! I have better fashion sense in my pinky than you three combined." She points to Montree, Jay and Zee but she fails to see Elephant behind her. She continues, "What is with your hair? Please. It looks like you had the beauty school reject do it for you. I could do better with my eyes closed."
Mandy goes to reach for Montree's hair and the Fairies snap.
Montree slaps her hand away from his head hard and takes a step closer while glaring at Mandy. "I hope you know that I had one of the best stylist do my hair today. You're just jealous because your hair looks like dry whisps of knotted thread instead of the soft and smooth hair like mine. But I guess the crappy hair matches the crappy face."
Oh, I think this is spiraling down into a mud slinging match. This isn't how it is supposed to happen. I watch in shock as Mandy catapults towards Montree with her claws out trying to scratch him as best as she can. Montree squeals but the shock quickly wears off as he grabs Mandy's hair in hopes of keeping Mandy's claws from scratching his face. Jay and Zee immediately jump into the fight kicking and slapping Mandy at any opportunity that they can get. Elephant shakes his head and he calmly walks up behind Mandy. He quickly puts his arms under her arms and then he puts his hands on the back of her head, effectively rerendering her unable to move her arms.
It isn't long before Ming's father walks over to the group and demands, "Stop this right now. I won't have anyone behaving like that in my hotel." He takes a deep breath and turns his full attention on Mandy. Sternly, he says, "As for you, young lady, if you can't behave then I'm going to have to throw you out of my hotel. It has been a long time since I have had to do that. I caught enough to know that you were trying to get N'Pha to maybe be your boyfriend. Well, that won't happen, so you best move on to your next target. N'Pha loves N'Yo so you don't even have a chance. Now, I will ask the young man to let you go if you promise to behavior yourself. Okay."
Mandy growls, "Yes."
Montree immediately let's go of his hold on Mandy and she quickly steps to the side to get more room between the them.
I clear my throat and confidently I say, "Go eat your meal and go back to your room. I think this should end any relationship that you were hoping to have with me. I'm already taken, and I won't leave P'Yo. I love him too much."
I hope this puts an end to Mandy. Now we just have to deal with her father.
