Hello everyone, I hope you enjoy the previously chapter of "Things I almost remember". Anyway I don't own them and they are belong to Disney except my OC's. I hope you all continue to enjoy this story and see you all in the next chapter. ;)

Family day arrived in a flurry of activity. Cooks rushing around, people (mostly grounds men, janitors, and a few teachers) setting up tables and plate settings or even helping the cooks. After all was prepared and parents started arriving the children either got ready or started converging under the gazebo in the courtyard for the dance number they had practiced.

"Be our guest!"

If the clapping and cheering was any indicator it was a huge success and everyone enjoyed it. Delia tried not to feel smug about the fact it was her idea to put a hip-hop spin on it. She even saw her adopted mom and dad dancing which is so embarrassing since she's standing next to them. Yup, She was feeling a little smug anyway. They had told her the story of what Lumiere had done on Belle first night at the castle years ago and she looked very amused that Ben had chosen that song to perform.

Ben went over to mom and she hugged him as she said "That was so lovely!"

King Adam interjected, "As much as I love you both, we have to take the photo before we have time for anything else so let's get back to the gazebo."

They made their way over with the photographer already there and Ben and Delia decided now would be a good time of any to tell their parents of their girlfriend/boyfriend change; seeing as they have to smile for the photo and control their reactions in public.

"Oh, by the way I have new girlfriend!"

"And I have a boyfriend!"

As expected they were happy with that part. "I never wanted to say anything but I always thought that Audrey was a little self-absorbed," said Queen Belle, "with that fake smile," Ben did not point out that she herself was wearing a fake smile at that moment, "and a kiss-up." Also true.

"And she also be mean to me ever since we're little. Telling me that I will never be a real princess. Oh I just want to punch in her face."

"Do we know your new boyfriend and girlfriend?" Dad asked as the photographer started to counting down.

"Sort of…Mal!"

"And Jay!"

They waved them over and the photographer chose that moment to take the picture. So the newspaper will have to be happy with them smiling and their parents staring at something to far right looking shocked and frozen.

"Mal! Jay, we want to introduce you two to our parents," Delia hugged him when he got close enough then Ben turned so Mal was holding his arm-and he noticed she angled herself to be slightly behind Ben as they made the introductions. "This is Mal, from the Isle, my girlfriend."

"And this is Jay, from the Isle also, and my boyfriend."

King Adam was still frozen and though Queen Belle was capable of talking she couldn't quite hide the hysteria in it. "Hi."

"Hi," is all that Mal said. King Adam just waved.

"I was thinking they could maybe join us for lunch."

"Of course," King Adam finally shaking off his stupor, "any friend of Ben and Delias'…"

"We actually came with our friends…" Jay said while gesturing towards the food spread, where Carlos where very clearly enjoying the chocolate fountain.

"Well you should invite them, because the more the merrier!" If at all possible Queen Belle sounded even more frantic than before, her voice cracking on 'merrier'.

"Yeah, I'll go grab them," she was about the go when Ben father stopped her.

"How about a game of croquet before we eat?"

"Of course."

"Well then, I will go meet my friend Valdimire, she want me to meet her family." Delia said as she and Jay walk away and go over to Valdimire.

"Hey Valdimire!" Delia greet her.

"Hello Delia!" Valdimire greet her back. "Come! You two must be my parents and Empress Marie!" Valdimire said as she grab Delia arm and walk over to the three groups.

"Mother, Father, and Empress Marie, this is my friend, Delia, and her boyfriend Jay." Valdimire said as Delia and Jay curtis/bow at them.

"Empress Marie, it's nice to meet you, I hope you and your family enjoying Family Day." Delia said to the Empress.

"It's very nice to meet you child, Valdimire have told us about you in her letter." Empress Marie said as Valdimire nodded her head.

"I'm Sophie and this is my husband Valdimir, we are our little angel parents." said Sophie. "It's very nice to meet you both." Delia smile at them. "And how was your day dear?"

"Everything was going great and nothing had gone wro-"

"YOU!"

-ng. I spoke to soon." Delia nervous laugh as she looked over (as did everyone else) to see Queen Leah staring horrified at Mal. She and Jay quickly made their way over to try and contain the situation.

"Oh dear god not her! This is bad. This is very bad." Delia whispers to Jay.

"-and how have you stayed so young?"

"Queen Leah, it's okay, Maleficent is still on the island. This is her daughter Mal," Delia calmly explained. Ben had his arm around Mal as Delia spoke, offering silent comfort (and keeping her calm if needed). Delia mostly ignored the adorable way Mal nose scrunched when Delia said her name. "Don't you remember me and Ben proclamation to give the new generation a chance?"

"A chance to what, Ben, and Delia, destroy us?! Oh, come on, you remember don't you?" She said looking at specific people as she listed off, "the poison apples, and the spells?!" That part she looked at their parents, and they looked down. Was it because of what happened to dad or because they felt sad for what happened to her? Thought for later. Delia could feel all the progress they had made vanishing as the Queen's shouting drew the attention of the other parents, and she struggled not to remain calm and at least appear Good. "My daughter was raised by fairies, because of your mother's curse."

Delia saw Mal take a step forward, "I'm so sor-"

"Woah, woah, stay away from her." Chad said. "Don't do this, Chad." Delia said, hoping that there isn't going to be a fight to break out. "What? They were raised by their parents, Ben. What do you think villains teach their kids, huh? Kindness? Fair play? No way." Chad began to ramble then he looked at Mal. "You stole another girl's boyfriend." Chad started, gesturing to Ben. "Leave her alone." Delia growled at Chad but he ignored her as he turned to Jay. "You enjoy hurting people." Chad said then he turned to Evie with a disgusted look. "And, you...you're nothing but a gold digger and a cheater." Chad said, smugly. Then Audrey turned to Delia.

"That leaves you, Delia. I bet it was kind of obvious that you are friends with them and dating one of them because you are just nobody, you don't know your parents, you probably belong in a street." Audrey said.

Delia's eyes look very mad. "She is not her mother, and I would have expected you, of all people, to be above punishing children for the actions of their parents."

After all, if Aurora's parents hadn't directly insulted Maleficent by excluding her while inviting literally everyone else in the world, Mal's mother probably would have contented herself with ruling the Forbidden Mountain, inflicting the occasional curse on the goblins and people who irritated her, and playing tricks on the Good Fairies. True, Leah and Stefan may have had to deal with the Mistress of Evil for some other reason, but deliberately snubbing a fairy, Good or Evil, was practically asking for a curse!

Queen Leah's mouth dropped open. "Are you saying that what her mother did was our fault? How dare you!"

Delia felt her friends and Ben approach, flanking her protectively and ready to leap to her defence. "I'm saying that your daughter was lucky! Mal Mother couldn't touch her until her sixteenth birthday, and after the fairies intervened, the worst she faced was a long nap until her true love showed up! She may have been raised in a cottage, but at least she wasn't forced to grow up like us!"

Chad popped up behind Audrey, always willing to cause trouble for the Isle kids. "What did you expect, your Majesty? They're villains, just like their parents. All they'll ever be is evil."

Evie stepped forward, regal and proud, every inch the princess that Auradon insisted she wasn't as she gripped Mal's hand. "That's rich coming from you, Prince Bullies-And-Bribes-Other-People-To-Do-His-Homework! For the children of Heroes, a lot of you don't act nearly as Good as you like to pretend!"

"You know what, Chad? You're right, they're just rotten to the core. They were raised this way. You think you know everything about them, don't you?" Delia had spoken in a loud but calm voice.

Everyone could hear her and she intended to let them all know how prejudiced they were.

"I know enough." Chad smirked arrogantly.

"You don't know anything! You act like you're so much better than us when you're really the worst one here. I mean, Evie might have cheated on her science homework but that's because her mother raised her to think that using her brain was unattractive and the sure way to lose a man's attention. She was raised to believe that only her looks mattered, that getting a rich husband was the only goal of her life. Whenever she studied, she was punished. She only cheated because she was raised not to trust her brain. What's your excuse for getting girls to do your homework for you in exchange for some of your attention? Do your parents know that you use your inherited charm to get girl to do your homework for you? And what if they found out, which, let's face it, they just heard me, so they know now. What will they do? Scold you, maybe ground you a little and tell you just how disappointed they are? When their parents are disappointed in them, they don't eat for a week, they get beaten or locked up in a dark room without any company or anything to do but think about their actions and what they should have done differently." Delia declared, trying her best to keep an even voice.

"And how did I know that? Because Jay told everything on the Isle. Mrs. Potts alway say, "you can't judge someone by who their parents are" now can you?"

She could tell that she had everyone's attention, she could feel Ben's supportive hand around her hand and she knew that he was encouraging her to continue. From the corner of her eyes, she could see Cinderella and Prince Charming frowning and slowly walking toward their son.

"How dare you!" Chad exclaimed, getting ready to punch her when his father held him back.

"You'll listen to what she has to say, son. And then we'll talk about your behaviour and the punishment you deserve." Prince Charming declared, a strong hand on his son's shoulder. King Adam and Queen Belle looked at everyone disapprovingly.

"What is wrong with you all?" Queen Belle said. "Queen Belle, you don't…" Queen Leah started but Empress Marie cuts her off. "No buts, Queen Leah. We are supposed to be the heroes and now we're being just like our enemies!" Empress Marie yelled. "Wait a minute…" Chad said, getting up and coming towards to Queen Empress Marie but Delia stood in front of him. "Stay the hell away from her. You use your charm and handsomeness to use girl to do your homework for you and date them if they finished your work." Delia said. Chad's smug look had dropped into a scowl.

"We might have our defaults, but we're learning, trying to see things differently. What's your excuse?" Evie asked Chad and Audrey.

Mal now turned to Aurora's mother:

"You know, I'm really sorry for what my mother did to your daughter. It wasn't the best response but you need to admit that you had your faults too. You could have invited her to this christening. She'd have been a bit loud and obnoxious but she wouldn't have done anything as evil as cursing your entire kingdom. I heard once that Evil wasn't born, it's made. Maybe you should all think about that and try to keep in mind that our parent's faults are their own. We might have inherited their DNA, we didn't inherited their dark souls and their past actions. I have nothing to do with what my mother did to Aurora, so stop treating me like I'm the one who cursed her asleep." Mal said the last piece looking directly at Audrey, who couldn't meet her eyes and looked down while her grandmother looked pensive.

"As for my adopted older brother Ben, I'll just say this Audrey: you were really mean to me when we first met when we're little, you bully me, you tease me, you told me that I will never be a real princess because I wasn't born in a royal family but like I said, I had amnesia, I couldn't remember anything, who I was, or where did I come from. But as we got older, you're his girlfriend and you love. But if you really loved him, you wouldn't have jumped on Chad the second he broke up with you. Kind of makes me wonder who the real Gold digger is here. Where you with Ben because you loved him or because he was about to be crowned King and you liked the glory that provided you?" Delia asked Audrey who didn't answer, her silence telling more than her words could have.

"Oh Audrey..." Aurora sighted, shaking her head.

"And I don't have an inch of goodness because right now my dad has goodness in him, my mother has goodness in him and those four kids, including my boyfriend, has goodness in them, unlike you. My adopted family found me in the rushing flowing river when I was ten, they rush me to hospital and I lost all my memories. But they took me under their wing and treat me as their own like Ben. They give me all their love and support to me." Delia said.

"But only thing I have with me is this necklace and this music box I have!" Delia took out her music box and held her necklace and show it to everyone, unknown to her, Empress Marie, Valdimir, Sophie, and Valdimire look absolutely shock at the music box and the necklace she had. "Whatever I have this, I feel like it important to me. But every dream I had, I feel like I remember it but I can't!"

"I don't really see what the big difference is between you and us, some of you are nastier than we ever were but anyway... don't worry, the minute we're sent back to the Isle of the Lost for the next school break, you'll be done with us because if we survive going back there, they won't let us leave the dark wet cell they'll lock us in for the rest of our lives." Mal snapped, shocking everyone.

"If we survive? Because you actually think that our parents won't kill us for not even trying to get them that wand?" Jay exclaimed darkly.

"What do you mean?" The blue fairy asked, recovering quickly from everything they had just learned.

"When our parents learned that we'd come here, they immediately started plotting. They gave us a mission: steal your wand and get it back to them so they could escape." Carlos explained.

"We're actually happy here, and so we quickly stopped planning to try and get it, which, by the way, would be quite easy. We stopped planning because we grew to love this place and because we made friends and we didn't want our parents to destroy everything that was good and beautiful here. We protected all of you from our parents, and it's going to get us killed. You're welcome." Mal snapped before she turned around and left, crying.

"Who's rotten now? Some of you guys are so spoiled that you've become rotten without realizing it." Evie snapped at everyone before she, Jay and Carlos followed Mal.

"I'll be right there." Ben told his parents who nodded.

"Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to see if my friends is feeling well enough to have lunch with me. I chose to believe you'll all find the time to apologize to them before the end of the day." Delia declared.

Delia curtsied to her adopted parents and she turned to Audrey for a parting blow. "I'm sorry you need a prince to feel good about yourself, but there's no need to spread rumours or attempt to make their life miserable as revenge. Her mother would be proud of that attitude, but I'm not so sure about yours."

"Mom, I'm sorry for what happened back there with Chad and all." Delia said as she walk over to them. "Sweetie, don't worry. Chad and Audrey deserved what they got. You didn't allow anyone to talk about our family and your friends in the wrong way. Now, go find your boyfriend." Queen Belle said, kindly. She smiled as she ran off to find Jay as ran past by Valdimire, her parents, and Empress Marie.

"Son, what's this about you getting girls to do your homework for you?" Prince Charming asked Chad with a frown while Aurora, her husband and her mother took Audrey aside to question her behaviour and her feelings toward Ben and Chad.

"Oh, come on dad, you can't possibly believe what that horrible girl said!" Chad argued, doing his best to look sincere.

"Please! Just admit it already! You got Evie to do your science homework, telling her that once she did them, you'd have time to spend with her but instead you got with Audrey in front of her, knowing that it would hurt Evie! You always do that. Just be honest for once." Lonnie argued.

"I was there when he told Evie that if she did his homework, he'd date her." Doug added.

"You're just a bunch of traitors." Chad snapped.

"Unlike you, they're honest." Jane shook his head.

"Well, I think that, as a punishment, you'll stay in the library, on your own, until you've redone all the homework that have been assigned to you since the beginning of the school year. Once you're done, you'll write a letter of apology to every girl in school for using them, even the ones you haven't used. You'll apologize publicly to the female gender in general." Prince Charming declared before guiding his son toward the school's library, ignoring Chad's complains.

Delia eventually found them at a nearby picnic table not far from where Family Day was. "Hey guys." She said, her throat still being a little scratchy. "Hey, Delia." Mal and Evie said in unison. "You okay? Your throat has been scratchy?" Carlos asked. Jay looked at her in concern. "You've been crying?" Jay said, coming up to me. "It's fine. Audrey, just made stupid personal." She said. "What the hell did she do?" Jay asked. "But then, she...she mentioned that I will never find my real family and I will never find them." She said with tears pooling in her eyes. She just rested her head on Jay's shoulder as everyone was making their way back here where they were. Ben had found them.

Looking around him Ben could see that their words at touched them all.

"Hey, guys. How is everyone?" Ben asked. "If an inconsiderate idiot mentioned that you will never find your real parents, how would you react, Ben?" Delia asked, snapping at him. Ben just gave me an apologetic look. "Hey, listen, forget about it, okay? It was nothing. Forget about it, let it go." Ben said as he was getting behind Mal. "After the coronation, I promise that everything will be okay." Ben said as he was leaning down to Mal. "I have to go." Ben whispered in her ear as he was rubbing her shoulders. "I'll see you guys later." Ben said before he left.

"How long do you think that's going to last?" Audrey asked the other girl. "Mal is just the bad girl infatuation." Audrey said. "Yeah, Ben's never gonna make a villain a queen." The other girl said as her, Audrey and Audrey's clique laughed obnoxiously.

Delia then heard Mal muttering. "Beware, forswear

Undo Audreys hair."

Mal recited, boredly as she did a finger motion. Audrey had screamed and when Audrey's clique moved away, slightly, Audreys perfect locks had turns back into the short bob. Lonnie checked her hair to see if it's still there. When Lonnie looked Delia, she looked at her with a look that said, 'it's fine'.

"There's a lot more where that came from." Mal said.

"Excuse me, who do you think you are?" Audrey asked, snobbily.

"A better person than you." Delia said, glaring at her.

"I didn't ask you, amnesia girl." Audrey said, smugly.

That's it.

She got out of Jay's grip and started to beat the holy hell out of Audrey with a few punch there and a few slap here. A few moments later, Jay had gotten her off of Audrey.

"Damn, that was hot." Jay whispered in her ear.

"Man that feel good," Delia smile at him as shake all her angry out as Evie handed her a water bottle to calm her down.

Audrey's clique got Audrey back up on her feet. She scowled at her and gave a smug look at Mal.

"Does it look like I'm kidding?" Mal asked, snarling, making Audrey's smug look drop, drastically. Mal was going through the pages of her spell book and everyone ran away. "I'll see you later." Delia whispered to Jay as she kissed him on the cheek and made her way up to Auradon.

And that was Chapter seven. I hope you guys enjoyed it, and I just wanted to see what you guys thought about it.

Anyway, please, review are the best form of motivation! Let me know what you think and see you all for the next chapter. :)
