Ben's POV

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. Big Cake. Yeah, so instead of a honeymoon, Beast united all of the kingdoms and got himself elected as King of King of the United States of Auradon. He rounded all the villains and all the sidekicks, basically all the really interesting people, and booted them off to the Isle of the Lost, with a magical barrier to keep them there. This is my hood: no magic, no Wi-Fi, No. Way. Out. Or so I thought. Hang on, you're about the meet us, but first this happened…


In Auradon

Princess Mal stared longingly out at the Isle of the Lost as she was being measured by the tailor, then the tailor turned Mal's head. This was definitely Not Mal's favorite thing to do. King Beast and Queen Belle, Mal's parents. "How is it possible that you're going to be crowned Queen next month." Beast asked his daughter, "you're just a baby!"

"She is turning sixteen dear" Belle said as she picked up a dress lying on the bed and started folding it.

"Hi daddy." Mal greeted, thinking about how to deliver the news to them.

"Sixteen?! Thad far too young to be crowned Queen, I didn't make a good decision till I was…42!" Beast said as he put his glasses into his jacket.

Belle scoffed and looked at the beast "uh, you decided to marry me at 28." She said.

"Well it was either you or a teapot," he said as he winked at Mal. Mal smiled and giggled slightly. Belle gave Beast a look. "Kidding." Beast said. Belle shook her head.

"Mom, Dad." Mal started. She was about to walk towards her parents, until the tailor told her to stand still as he is working on her skirt length. Mal sighed and stepped back into place. "If chosen my first official proclamation," Mal continued. Beast and Belle looked at her with smiles. They knew that their daughter was ready to be Queen. "I've decided that the children of the Isle of the Lost be given a chance…to live here in Auradon." Belle dropped the dress she was holding. Her parent's faces fell. Mal walked forward, much to the tailor's dismay, but Mal didn't care. "Every time, I look out to the island, I feel like they've have been abandoned," Mal said.

"The children of our sworn enemies living among us?" Beast stepped to his daughter.

"We start out with a few at first. The ones who needed our help the most," Mal explained. "I've already chosen them."

"Have you?" Beast asked getting slightly upset.

Belle placed her hand on Beast's arm, stopping him from getting angrier at his daughter. "I gave you a second chance," She said. Beast looked at his daughter than to Belle, willing to hear Mal out. "Who are their parents?" Belle asked.

"Cruella De Vil, Jafar, Evil Queen…" Mal paused before listing the last one, "Maleficent." The tailor gasped and dropped his pad.

"Maleficent?! She is the worst villain of the land!" The beast yelled. Belle looked between Beast and Mal.

"Dad, just hear me out-" Mal tried to say, but her father cut him off.

"I won't hear of it, they are guilty of unspeakable crimes!" Beast exclaimed. The tailor left the room and the guards shut the door.

"Dad their children are innocent" Mal defended. "Don't you think they deserve a shot at a normal life? Dad…"

Beast looks at the ground before looking at Belle. She gave him a look that said 'She's got a point.'

He gave in. "I suppose their children are innocent." He finally said. Beast turned and started walking away then, and then stopped to wait for his wife.

Belle walked towards her daughter and started straightening her dress. "Well done," She said. Mal smiled and her mother gladly returned. She turned around, walks over to Beast and took his arm, "shall we?" The two of them walked away without a word said.

Mal looked out of her window, thinking. She looks at the Isle of the Lost, messing with her ring of the family heirloom. She got her parents on board; she just hopes that everyone else will be just as willing.


Author's Note

Okay so I feel very bad for taking the plot line and changing it to suit my needs of Ben being Maleficent Son while Mal being Adam and Belle's daughter. Since I can't remember who I took it from so I apologize here.

Disclaimer: I do not own the characters or descendants or the plot. I only own the changes I made.

I have edited the last paragraph due to a reviewer stating that I have a writing error so I changed to the one he / she sent to me.
