Lightning flashed against the red sky as the wind blew wickedly.

"So," said a voice, "this is it?"

"It- It can't be." Said another. "There has to be something we can do."

"There isn't. This is the end."

"There is one thing. I have to fight my mom."

A knock on the door shook Dizzy from her daydreaming. She was thinking about the dream she had last night, the same one she had had before. It was so creepy and strange, and why did she have it twice?

She looked at the door quick and yelled, "Come in!" as she went back to her work on Aziz's tiara.

"Do you have time to make another one?" said a voice, that sounded a bit quiet.

Dizzy looked up to see who was at the door…

"Chad." She said in a bit of an angry voice.

"Dizzy, just hear me out-" Chad started.

"I don't want to hear it." Dizzy said, going back to her project.

"I know, I don't deserve for you to listen to me, but please just give me a chance." Chad pleaded.

Dizzy rolled her eyes and looked at him, annoyance all over her face. "What?"

Chad looked away for a moment, like he was ashamed, but then he looked back at Dizzy. "I- I just want to say sorry for the way I've treated you."

Dizzy laughed, "You expect me to believe that?"

Chad winced. "No, not really. But, Dizzy, it's true!"

Dizzy just rolled her eyes, again, and went back to her work.

Chad sighed and walked over to Dizzy's work table. He bent down and looked into her eyes, even though she kept working, pretending he wasn't there. "Dizzy, my mom had a long talk with me and she's helped me see that I was wrong. Just because you are Drizella's daughter and Lady Tremaine's granddaughter doesn't mean you are like them, or have anything to do with the way they treated my mom. I was so wrong to do all those things to you that you didn't deserve. I know you don't want to hear me, but I mean it when I say that I am so sorry for what I have done to you."

Dizzy tried to continue her work and ignore him, but something in his words told her he wasn't lying.

But she was just too angry at him to forgive him. So, she stayed quiet.

Chad sighed. "I understand." He stood up and went to the door. He stopped quick before leaving and turned back to Dizzy. "I need a tiara for Audrey, if you want some extra cash." He said quietly. Then, he left.

Dizzy looked to the door as it shut, and broke down in sobs.

After an entire school day of feeling rotten, Dizzy found herself alone in her room. She had tried to talk to Evie about Chad's 'apology' but she was too busy with Mal and Admiia was off 'stalking' Aziz. Dizzy tried to put Chad out of her mind but it just would not leave her alone.

As she worked on one of the ten tiara's she was finishing up, a knock came to the door. "Come in." she said softly, not really in the mood for any visitors. As the door opened, she looked up to see her Aunt looking at her with a smile. "Aunt Cindy!" she said with a little smile, "What are you doing here?"

"Well, I actually came for a couple reasons." Cinderella said as she shut Dizzy's door. "First of all, I can to finish Chris's registration into Auradon Prep."

"Chris is coming to school here?" Dizzy asked with excitement.

Cinderella's signature smile grew. "Yes. They are opening an elementary and middle school program and Chris has been checking it out the last couple of days."

"So that's why he was here." Dizzy realized.

"Exactly." Cinderella confirmed. "You and Chris are the first of hopefully many children to benefit from this new program." She then paused for a second. "I also came to check up on you."

Dizzy was confused. "Me? Why?"

"With everything that happened on Tuesday night, I just wanted to make sure you were alright."

Dizzy tried her best to smile. "Y-yeah, I'm fine."

Cinderella's smile faded. "Are you sure, Dizzy? You don't seem fine."

Dizzy sighed. "I'm ok." She said. "It's just, Chad came by and apologized today."

Cinderella took a seat next to her niece. "And?"

"And, I don't know if he meant it or not."

Cinderella sighed in understanding.

"I-I don't mean I don't trust you, Aunt Cindy. I just-"

"Don't know if he means it after everything he's done to you?" Cinderella finished.

Dizzy nodded. "I-I'm sorry."

"It's ok, Dizzy." Cinderella said. "After everything that happened, forgiveness isn't easy, believe me, I know. When your Aunt Anastasia apologized to me, I didn't want to listen or believe her. After everything she, Drizella, and her mother had done to me, I didn't think they deserved forgiveness, but then I realized she was truly sorry for what she did and I did forgive her along with the rest of your family."

"But, if she apologized, why is she on the Isle?" Dizzy asked.

Cinderella sighed. "I wish I knew." She said with small tears filling her eyes. She quickly wiped them away and looked at Dizzy. "Dizzy, I talked to Chad about his actions after you left. He explained to me why he did those things to you and I told him why he was wrong, and I know it will be hard to believe, but I know he feels bad about it. I know he was sincere about his apology."

Dizzy looked into Cinderella's eyes.

"And I know, you don't want to forgive him and I know it's hard, but at least think about it, OK?"

Dizzy nodded.

Chad sat in the library with a book of the history of his father's kingdom and his mother's heritage. He had heard many of these stories before, but he seemed to be learning much more when he read them himself.

"That will be $30, Mr. Charming."

Chad quickly looked up from his book to see his step-cousin holding out a beautiful pink and blue tiara out to him. He slowly reached out and took it from the girl's hand. He looked at it in awe "Wow, Dizzy, this is amazing."

Dizzy smiled. "I hope Audrey will like it."

Chad looked back at Dizzy. "She'll love it."

Dizzy slowly sunk into the chair that sat across from Chad's. "Chad, I-"

"No, Dizzy, it's ok. I understand you not forgiving me." Chad said quietly. "I did something horrible and don't deserve forgiveness. I don't know how I'll ever live up to my mother."

"Chad." Dizzy said, "I do forgive you."

Chad looked at Dizzy, a bit confused.

Dizzy smiled. "You made a mistake. Everybody does, and I'd be just like my mother if I didn't forgive you for it."

Chad's face brightened. "I promise I'll change, Dizzy. I don't want to be mean and proud anymore. I want to be more like my mom and dad, and be the king my kingdom deserves, and the cousin you deserve."

"I'm sure you will, Chad." Dizzy held her hand out to Chad. "Friends?"

Chad smiled. "Friends." He said as he took her hand. "Even more, family."
