A/N: Hey, Fanficters! I had revised this chapter, and I am planning to do the same with the others as soon as possible. I'm sorry for not updating this story! Thank you for reading! I present to you . . . Chapter 1: They Can Change.

Once Upon A Time, long, long ago . . .

Well, more like twenty years ago.

Belle married her Beast in front of six thousand of their closest, personal friends.

Ah, big cake.

Yeah. So, instead of a honeymoon, Beast united all of the kingdoms and got himself elected as King of the United States of Auradon. He round up all the villains and the sidekicks―basically, all the interesting people―and he booted them off to the Isle of the Lost with a magical barrier to keep them there.

This is my hood.

No magic.

No WiFi.

No way out . . .or so I thought.

Hang on, you're about to meet us, but first this happened . . .

~•~

If there was anything Ben hated the most, it would be the the fitting.

He couldn't stand being called out every time he moved even the slightest inch or the constant boredom that never seems to leave the room during this time.

Ever since the royal designer decided to never talk to the prince (except for the occasional reproach), all Ben could do was stare out the window.

This was also another bad idea, for all he could see was the abandoned island that was blanketed by a strange, orange light.

"Sleeve," the man next to him said, extending his measuring tape," head."

After positions his head, an idea began to form. A crazy idea at that. One that will change everything.

Now, the only thing left to do was get his parents to agree.

"How is it possible that you're going to be crowned king next month?" a voice said, startling him. "You're just a baby!"

Ben looked up to see the King and Queen of Auradon walking towards him with a smile on their faces. That smile won't last long, he grimaced.

"He's turning sixteen, dear," Belle told her husband before moving Ben's discarded clothes onto the chest at the edge of her bed.

"Hey, pops―"

"Sixteen? That's far too young to be crowned king," Adam mused, jokingly. "I didn't make a good decision until I was, at least, forty-two."

Belle scoffed as she messed around with a piece of clothing. "Uh, you decided to marry me at twenty-eight."

"Ah, it was either you or a teapot," Beast joked, winking at his son. Ben couldn't help but chuckled at the banter between his parents.

Belle looked away in frustration.

"Kidding," the King told her, but he couldn't help raising his eyes as if to say sheesh at his wife's attitude.

"Dad," Ben stepped down from the platform. This earned him yet another scolding from the irritated designer. "I've chosen my first official proclamation."

His parents gave each other and excited look before Ben declared," I decided that the children on the Isle of the Lost be given a chance to live here in Auradon."

At this, Belle gasped and dropped the shorts while Adams face turned into shock.

"Every time I look out at the island, I feel like they've been abandoned," Ben explained.

"The children of our sworn enemies," Beast said, trying to wrap his head around the idea," living among us?"

"We start off with a few at first," Ben told him as he quickly thought of possible transfers," only the ones that need our help the most. I've already chosen them."

The Queen's interest was peaked, but the feeling was quite the opposite to her husband's.

"Have you?" his dad asked, walking towards him in a threatening manner. Seeing the anger in his eyes, the Prince's smile fell. Belle quickly grabbed his arm and said," I gave you a second chance."

At hearing this, Adam felt a mixture of shock and wonder course through him.

"Who are their parents?" Belle asked Ben, seeing her husband's dumbfounded demeanor.

"Cruella de Vil . . . Jafar . . . the Evil Queen," he said―seeing their horrified expressions with each name―before finishing in hesitation," Maleficent and the Queen of Hearts."

"Maleficent? The Queen of Hearts?" Beast outraged. "They are the worst villains in the land!"

"Dad, just hear me out here," Ben said, stepping back.

"I won't hear of it! They are guilty of unspeakable crimes!"

The royal designer jumped up from his sitting position on the platform with an "Oh oh!" and bowed at the royal family before running out the door.

"Dad, their children are innocent! Don't you think they deserve a shot at a normal life?"

Everyone was silent as they waited for a response.

"Dad?"

"I suppose their children are innocent."

The King turned around as soon as those words left his lips. Belle gave her son a squeeze on the shoulder and congratulated him before leaving the room.

Ben felt a rush a relief surge through him. As quickly as the first, he felt his nerve stand on edge as he moved towards the window.

He twisted his ring that heald the crest of the King in his Beast form. His father had given it to him to show Ben had all his confidence.

I won't fail, Dad.

They can change.

I hope you enjoyed it!

Please R&R!
