Cherry was in her bedroom in Belle and Adam's castle as she was brushing her hair down and getting ready to meet the others for dinner and Belle decided to help her out since they were close old friends.
"You know, Cherry, I think you should let Felicity come to Auradon Prep." Belle spoke up.
"Belle, Felicity doesn't do so well in crowds..." Cherry said. "It's why we've never let her go to a school, even before I escaped my cruel birth father."
"We don't know if she won't like it if she doesn't try it yet, besides, I might have sent acceptance letters to her and Akito, Estelle, and Vincent." Belle said, smiling nervously.
"You did what?" Cherry asked flatly as she then applied her make-up.
"Well, it might be good for them..." Belle replied. "Besides, my own children are going, everyone you know will be there..."
"School and Felicity do not get along that well..." Cherry replied as she popped her lips.
"Her cousins will be there with her." Belle said.
"She might not like it..." Cherry then stood up once she was ready.
"Just think about it at least with Maestro..." Belle tried.
"We'll see, Belle, we'll see..." Cherry replied as she walked to the dining room with the lady of the house.
"I'll take that as answer of you'll think about it." Belle said.
"Pretty much." Cherry said.
The ladies came down and dinner was served in the castle as everyone sat together as always.
"About time." Adam teased.
Belle giggled to her husband. "You're so bad."
Forte frowned a little, then chuckled lightly to Cherry. "About time you-"
"Don't." Cherry put her hand up in icy dismissal.
"Oh, okay..." Forte frowned.
"Benjamin, come on, we're gonna be late for dinner!" Gabrielle called for her younger brother.
"I'm coming, Sis!" Ben called.
"Younger brothers..." Gabrielle sighed as she got rather impatient.
"Ben late again?" Chip walked over to the brunette girl's side.
"You have no idea..." Gabrielle deadpanned.
"I'm sure he'll get to dinner on time sometime." Chip said.
"He better..." Gabrielle sighed.
Ben laughed as he slid down the banister to join them for dinner.
"Oh, brother." Gabrielle sighed.
Ben chuckled and then ran into the dining room with his sister and best friend.
"That boy is so your son, King Adam." Forte smirked.
Adam smiled shyly to Ben's behavior.
"The students are divided from heroes and villains..." Felicity frowned. "What if no one wants to be my friend because of how you used to be like, Papa?"
"Nonsense, of course they'll want to be your friend, Flick." Forte smiled.
"You have likability," Cherry insisted as well. "The kind your father and I once had..."
"Yes..." Forte agreed.
Felicity hugged herself shyly. "Oh, well, at least Gabrielle and Ben will be there with my cousins."
"That's the spirit, Aunt Cinderella's kids will be there too." Cherry then said.
"Yeah, and I'm sure they're as kind as their parents." Forte smiled.
"Well... Okay..." Felicity replied. "Can I go with Gabrielle and Ben though since I've known them longer?"
"Of course..." Cherry approved. "I'm sure one of them will have some books for you too, you know how they both love to read like their mother."
"Indeed they do." Felicity smiled.
Cherry and Forte gave warm smiles to their daughter once her confidence was boosted back up.
"I wonder how Akito is feeling about being sent to Auradon Prep?" Felicity said.
"Baby Atticus is probably honored." Cherry said.
"Maman, why do you call Akito 'Baby Atticus'?" Felicity asked.
"Because he's so much like his father." Cherry replied.
"Ohh." Felicity said.
The others then finished dinner and went back up to their rooms to get ready for the big school days at Auradon Prep. Ben was being measured and ready to become the new king after Adam would step down from the throne after he had claimed the throne at age eleven after the untimely death of his parents. Ben was looking out the window to an island, feeling sorry for the people living on it.
"So, you ready for school, little bro?" Gabrielle smiled to her younger brother.
"I sure am, Sis, but I feel sorry for the children on the Isle of the Lost." Ben said.
"Aw, it's okay..." Gabrielle soothed him.
Ben sighed as he looked out from his window. Felicity walked past the siblings on her way to her own room in the castle.
"I know what my law should be." Ben said.
"This I have to hear." Felicity smiled to her best friend's brother.
"My first law is that the children from the Isle of the Lost should be allowed in Auradon." Ben said.
"I still don't understand how you got the throne when I'm older." Gabrielle said.
Ben shrugged. "Mom and Dad's orders... Besides, you're more like Mom was before she met Dad."
"True." Gabrielle agreed.
"At least your father is not a villain..." Felicity said softly.
"Don't worry, Felicity, everyone at Auradon Prep won't treat you badly." Ben said.
"You got us and your cousins." Gabrielle promised.
"True." Felicity smiled.
Gabrielle and Ben smiled to Felicity. They were like family themselves since they all grew up in the castle, even though Felicity had her own home now away from the castle with both her parents instead of just her father.
Meanwhile with the Fudo siblings...
"You really like to paint, huh?" Snow White asked her young master.
"Blame Barbie," Vincent laughed. "Painting with her was the best experience of my life."
"I can tell." Snow White smiled.
"It was truly an amazing experience..." Vincent smiled as he remembered his art supplies.
"Shall I call you Van Gogh?" Snow White teased since his name was already Vincent.
"Very funny..." Vincent smirked.
"I know I am." Snow White smiled.
Vincent rolled his eyes. "Oh, brother."
"Hmm..." Akito hummed, he was pondering on whether or not to take his futuristic bracelet. On one hand, it wasn't really needed anymore and was more of a souvenir from Acmetropolis, but on the other hand, it might come in handy later. After pondering for a while, he decided to bring it along. "Now, which bandanna to wear?" he then asked himself.
"Seriously?" Scruffy asked. "They're all the same!"
"I know, I was just trying to be funny." Akito smirked to his puppy.
"Oh, ha ha, funny." Scruffy smirked back.
Akito laughed as he then picked a bandanna and tied it over his brunette hair.
Estelle decided to wear both her amulet and brooch. Dot was sleeping during her packing. Estelle then tickled her puppy awake.
"Hey!" Dot laughed.
"Wake up, this is important." Estelle smirked.
"I'm up, I'm up." Dot smiled.
Estelle laughed as she then packed with Dot.
"So, what exactly is Auradon Prep?" Dot asked her mistress.
"It's where all the Disney heroes' children are sent to." Estelle said.
"What about villains?" Dot asked.
"They are on the Isle of the Lost." Estelle said.
"The Isle of the Lost?" Dot asked.
"Yeah, luckily Uncle Forte, Aunt Cherry, Felicity, or Simon won't be sent there." Estelle said.
"Well, that's good." Dot agreed.
"Yeah, because the Disney villains and their children live there." Estelle said.
"So, how did you and your brothers get accepted?" Dot then asked.
"Because Mom and Dad know every Disney hero." Estelle said.
"Congratulations." Dot smiled.
Estelle hugged her puppy. "Wish me luck."
"You don't need it." Dot nuzzled.
"Thanks." Estelle smiled.
Dot smiled back.
"I wonder if we'll meet any of the villain kids there." Estelle said.
Dot smiled to Estelle with high hopes for her to have fun in Auradon Prep.
Felicity sighed as she had a lot on her mind about this prep school while Gabrielle's brother Ben was being measured and where he was looking out to the Isle of the Lost.
"Bonjour, Ben." Felicity smiled to him.
"Oh, hi, Felicity." Ben replied.
"Head." The measuring servant turned Ben's head over so he could measure him for a crown.
"Does his head really have to be measured too?" Felicity asked Gabrielle.
"It's for his crown." Gabrielle smiled to her best friend.
"It's time for that already?" Felicity asked in surprise since they were all teenagers now. "Where does the time go?"
"You have a point, Felicity," Adam agreed as he came in with Belle. "How is it possible that Ben is going to be crowned King next month? He's just a baby!"
'I can see King Adam is being one of those parents.' Felicity thought to herself.
"Papa, Ben is a teenager." Gabrielle giggled to her father.
"That's right, dear." Belle agreed.
"Hey, Pops." Ben smiled to Adam.
The measuring servant wasn't quite done with Ben yet. Belle, Adam, and Gabrielle came over to Ben as he was being fitted.
"Mom, Dad, I've chosen my first official proclamation," Ben spoke up which excited Belle and Adam. "I've decided that the children on the Isle of the Lost will be given a chance to live here in Auradon."
This soon changed their expressions about this proclamation. Belle even dropped a fabric in shock.
"Every time I look out to the island, I feel like they've been abandoned." Ben walked over to his parents and older sister.
'I had the same feeling.' Gabrielle thought to herself.
"I think it's a good idea, King Adam and Queen Belle." Felicity spoke up to her parents' good friends who were like second parents to her.
"The children of our sworn enemies," Adam spoke up. "To live among us?"
"Papa..." Gabrielle whispered before looking to Felicity, remembering the story of when Forte went insane during the enchantment before they were born on Belle's first Christmas.
"He is not taking this very well." Felicity said.
Cherry was looking into her old room of when she stayed in the castle which was now Ben's bedroom.
"I've always liked this room." Atticus said.
"Yeah, me too," Cherry replied. "It really has sentimental value to me."
"We sure had a lot of memories here." Atticus said.
"I remember when we thought we were gonna stay here forever." Cherry remembered when Belle traded their lives for Maurice's and Adam made them promise to stay forever and never leave the castle grounds.
"Yeah, that was a little intense." Atticus said.
"This room certainly has changed since Ben was born." Mo chuckled as she came in the room.
"How you holding up about our kids going to the school?" Cherry asked.
"I'm sure they'll be okay, after all, it's not their first prep school." Mo smiled as she remembered when Akito, Estelle, Felicity, and Vincent were temporary students to Royal Prep every now and again.
"It's true." Atticus said.
"Ah..." Cherry sighed. "Now I know how Mom felt when Mike got married... Kids do grow up so fast."
Felicity stared out the window to the island far from the castle as she thought about the children of villains which Belle and Adam were nervous about, she also thought about herself after she had been told about how her father used to be, especially during the enchantment which happened before she and the other kids had been born and where she hoped that the four Ben chose weren't that bad. Ben came to see her with Gabrielle.
"Oh, hi, guys." Felicity smiled.
"Hi, Flick." Ben and Gabrielle replied.
"Ben, who did you choose exactly?" Felicity asked.
"Carlos, Jay, Evie, and Mal." Ben replied.
"The children of the most evilest in the land?!" Felicity gasped.
"I knew you wouldn't understand..." Ben sighed. "Dad had a meltdown the most about Mal since her mother's Maleficent."
"Sorry I reacted like that, but their parents have done many terrible things." Felicity said.
Gabrielle looked softly. "Your father..." she then said.
Felicity looked away before sighing. "I know, Papa was corrupted by the Enchantress though, but these four are the children of Cruella, Jafar, Evil Queen, and Maleficent."
"True and where unlike your father, those four haven't changed to good." Gabrielle said, referring to the villain parents.
Felicity stared at the floor.
"Just hear me out, okay?" Ben asked. "I already lost Dad's hope, I don't wanna lose your guys's either, and I believe their children are innocent."
Felicity soon sighed and looked him in his icy blue eyes. "You are so Belle's son."
"He sure is Maman's son." Gabrielle smiled in agreement.
"Yep." Felicity agreed with a giggle about Ben's determination and nonconformity.
They all looked out the window to the isle as they decided to work together.
"I wonder what's going on there?" Felicity said.
"Are you gonna check it out with Akito and Estelle?" Ben asked.
"I might have to." Felicity replied.
"Don't worry, no one there will judge you." Gabrielle said.
Felicity smiled to them before hugging them. Gabrielle and Ben soon hugged her back.
Akito looked out the window as he had that look in his eye and was on his way out until he was stopped by Felicity.
"Whatever you're doing, I'm doing it too." Felicity told the young aspiring detective.
"I'm just going out." Akito said.
"Oh... I thought maybe you were gonna meet Carlos, Evie, Mal, and Jay." Felicity replied.
"Yes, I am, but I need to go alone." Akito whispered.
"What? But I wanna go with you." Felicity pouted.
"Alright, fine." Akito said.
Felicity beamed and soon went out with Akito to explore and take a walk together.
"Going out, Mom!" Akito called out.
"All right, be safe!" Mo called back.
"I'll try!" Akito replied before leaving.
Felicity followed after Akito as they went for a walk together as cousins. "How do we get there?" she then asked.
"Just come with me," Akito replied. "I have my ways."
"That, you do." Felicity nodded.
Akito took out a special scooter that Scootaloo gave him for his birthday one year and put on the helmet.
"Ooh." Felicity smiled.
Akito gave Felicity an extra helmet and they flew on the scooter to go do what Akito wanted to do alone.
"Wahoo!" Felicity smiled.
Akito looked around as he drove his scooter with Felicity behind him as they were going to where he was going to originally solo and they soon arrived on the isle.
