Beep beep, the car horn from the limo could be heard throughout the street as it pulled up in front of Maleficent's liar. Each of the kids walked over to their respective parent hoping to get a goodbye hug or at least a 'see you later wave'.
"Carlos are you sure you want to leave? There are dogs there and I could use your help around here" said Cruella de Ville.
You could see the fear spread across Carlos's face as he realized that there could be man eating dogs in Auradon. But when he looked up at his mother he realized taking care of her would be worse than any fate in Auradon. "No, I'm sure I can handle myself. Mal and the gang can protect me from any dogs" Carlos said as he slowly backed up, grabbed his bag and ran down the stairs toward the limo.
"Alright son, what is our motto?" Jafar asks his son Jay.
"There is no team in I" Jay happily recites.
"Well done." Jafar gives him a big hug and hands him his bag. With one last wave toward his father he follows Carlos's lead down the stairs and into the limo.
"Evie dear, come here and say good bye to your mother." The Evil Queen grabs Evie's wrist quite forcibly, pulling her into the seat in front of her. "I would like to give you this." The Evil Queen hands Evie a piece of her magic mirror. "Now when you get to Auradon what are you going to do?" Asks her mother.
"Find a prince with a castle with lots of room for a step mother and lots of mirrors" Evie answers with a fake smile on her face. "But Mom, what if I don't want to marry a prince?" Evie asks shyly.
"What do you mean you don't want to marry a prince? You want to be poor and live like a hag with some peasant boy? Uhhh, I can't even imagine how horrible that would be." The Evil Queen grabs Evie's wrist a little harder this time causing Evie to wince in pain. The Evil Queen pulls Evie so close only Evie can hear her whisper. "You will marry a prince and you will be a princess so when I return I will be able to rule Auradon as their queen. Understand?" Evie nods her head so fast she thinks it is going to fall off. The Evil Queen releases Evie's hand and hands her her make-up bag. "Good now run along, you don't want to miss the limo."
"Yes Mom." Evie quickly takes the bag and heads off toward the limo. Before she walks down the stairs she looks back toward her mother. She stares at her for a few moments before her gaze shifts to Mal. Beautiful Mal, if only when Evie told her mother that maybe she didn't want to marry a prince she wasn't talking about marrying someone poor. She was talking about marrying Mal. Evie has been in love with Mal since they became friends.
"Mal, Mal! Come here" Maleficent calls Mal over to her makeshift thrown. "Remember when you get there you are going to find Fairy Godmother's wand and use it to free me so I can take my revenge." Maleficent looks at her daughter with her bright green eyes.
"Yes, I understand. Find the wand, free you, long live evil." Mal responds with an eye roll. Why does she always have to use me for these evil plans? Why can't we just stay here and rule the Isle of the Lost? Ugh, whatever at least I will have my friends through all of this. Speaking of friends, Mal sees Evie waiting for her by the door. Evie didn't realize she was starring until she saw Mal walking towards her. Crap, uh just play it off like I was waiting for my best friend to walk down to the limo with. They link arms and head down toward the limo. Evie gets in first and Mal takes to the time to look back at her mother and her home for the past 16 years. She is finally leaving.
