Everything was going fine in Auradon. The VK's chose good over evil and everyone had found love. Mal found Ben, Evie found Doug, Carlos and Jay finally came to their senses, even Chad and Audrey were in love. Every night they'd all have dinner and try to get to know each other better by sharing childhood stories.
During each of the Isle stories, the Auradon kids would have looks of surprise or fear. Prince Ben feels guilty and comes up with an idea. One evening, Ben says "I think we should bring more VK's over here. No one deserves to live like that." Looks of concern travel through their faces. Mal is the first one to speak up.
"Ummmm. Who did you have in mind?"
"The children of Ursula, Captain Hook, Queen of Hearts, and Gaston." Ben exclaims. Carlos starts shaking, Jay clenches his fist, Evie gasps, and Mal's eyes glow green. "You couldn't of picked a worse group of people. Uma always wants to take things from Mal, Queenie is a jealous bitch who hates Evie, Gil is an abusive asshole that is gonna end up dead, and Harry Hook is a douche who gets mad when he can't have what he wants!" Jay says to Ben, clenching and unclenching his fist. "You can't bring Gil here. Please don't bring him here!" Carlos shakingly mumbles. The AK's look at the Rotten Four shocked. From the way they reacted, Ben thought for a second if he should reconsider. Instead he stands his ground.
"I gave each of you a chance. Maybe they've changed. I'm sorry guys, but I already discussed this with my parents. They arrive tomorrow." He says.
Mal shakes her head. "They cannot come. Please Ben, there has to be something you can do." Without another word, he leaves the dining room.
Mal POV
I can't believe this! He won't listen to us! Uma is gonna see that I'm happy and try to take him away. And Gil! He hurt Carlos! He's going to come here and do it again. Ever since Carlos dumped him back on the Isle, he's been as bad as the prissy princes when they are told no. Queenie hates Evie because Evie is prettier than her, such a jealous drama queen. Then there's Harry. How do I tell Ben that we use to date before I left and technically never officially broke up with him? This isn't going to end well.
"What are we going to do guys? He won't listen to any of us. Mal, you have to talk to him again. Please! Gil is gonna ruin everything!" Carlos says in a rush.
"I'll talk to him. Don't you worry."
I stomp out of the room, following Ben. "Ben! You have to listen to me!" He stops and turns around. "I'm sorry that you guys had trouble with them back on the Isle. But everything has already been arranged. I can't change it now." I cross my arms and glow my eyes. "That little trick doesn't work with me, Mal. Look," he says. "I really wish that things could be different. If it was up to me, you guys would of never been over there in the first place. But that's not how things ended up. So you're gonna have to trust me." He says. I sigh. "Okay, I'll trust you. But you have to know something before they come tomorrow." "Alright. What's up?"
Before I can tell him, Doug runs up. "Ben, you need to come immediately. Your parents want to discuss tomorrow's events." Dang it, Doug! "Can that wait. I really need to talk to Ben." "No. Queen Belle & King Adam want him asap." He says, pulling Ben along.
"I'll talk to you later Mal."
"But this is-" I try to tell him, but its too late. He's already gone. I walk back in to the dining hall. Carlos is still shaking, Jay is whispering to him calmly, Evie is biting her nails, and the AK's are looking around confused. "Mal! Thank god you are back! We wanna know what happened on the Isle. Please help us understand." Jane says. The other Auradon kids nod. "Okay. You may want to sit down. This is gonna be a long story. But first, Jay! Do you think Carlos is calm enough for this?" "He is still a bit shaken up. But I think he'll be okay. C'mon Pup." Carlos looks fearful, but nods. They both walk over to the table with Evie following behind. "So I guess I'll start, since I kind of had it the easiest." Evie says.
